Part 4 The Undead Chapter 133 Earl Hall’s Proposal
10000 Pounds …… Audrey blinked her eyes, and showed her surprise by a slight change of expression.
Without her having to open her mouth to inquire, Earl Hall perceived her doubt and laughed:
”This is a very insightful person, some of his ideas inspired me and made me resonate a little, and, just because suffering exists objectively and is difficult to truly solve for a long time, it cannot be ignored.”
Audrey, vaguely understanding her father’s words, and feeling that the understanding wasn’t clear enough, nodded slightly, took her own checkbook from within the handbag that matched her dress, and wrote down the sum of £1000.
–This was a charity evening, and it was to be held in a side hall of the church, so there would be no dancing, no arrangements too extravagant, no footmen and maids of honor to follow about; there would be only a simple self-help and a more or less modest donation, and the ladies would undoubtedly have their bags with them.
One by one, after dropping their checks into the offering box, the guests went to the long tables on each side and took drinks or simple food, walking back and forth in the hall, interacting with others, and no longer sitting down.
It was closer to a cold dinner party.
Klein, on the other hand, followed Bishop Elektra to the side of St. Anthony the Holy, and was introduced to this high-ranking member of the Church of Darkness.
St. Anthony smiled in response to Dawn Dantes’s greeting, sizing him up and saying:
”Very well, we are proud to have a believer like you.
”The Goddess teaches us that character is more important than status, so you are a noble enough gentleman.”
Frankly speaking, when facing this holy man, Klein was a bit apprehensive in his heart, because any deity or extraordinary person associated with the realm of “destiny” might be able to see the gray mist aura on his body, such as the entirety of the “Monster” Pathway, or the “Dark Night” who ruled over the “Doom”. If St. Anthony is a high ranking member of the “Sleepless One” pathway and has mastered the extraordinary ability of doom, then it must be said that there is a certain probability that he can tell that there is something wrong with Dawn Dantes.
For this reason, before Klein came to participate in this charity gala, he had gone to the gray mist above the divination, and got a risk-free answer.
Since the goddess didn’t even say anything, then K’s archbishop, even if he could really find something wrong, would probably pretend not to see it …… Klein responded with a warm smile:
”During this period of time, I often come to the church to pray and listen to Bishop Elektra’s sermon, and I feel that my heart has been baptized, and even my soul seems to have been purified to a certain extent, which is why I can follow the goddess’s teachings, and pass on the beauty and hope to others.”
St. Anthony nodded and said:
”In the presence of the Goddess, all believers are distinguished only by their character, whether they are nobles, or commoners, whether they are men, or women, they are all the same.
”May those who live in bad places be free from fear and have peace.
”Praise the Goddess.”
Klein and Bishop Elektra then nodded four times clockwise on their chests:
”Praise the Goddess!”
Seeing that the Archbishop of St. Anthony had turned to the other devotees, Klein was ready to go to the long table, get a glass of champagne, and quench his thirst.
Just then he saw a gentleman leaning close.
The gentleman’s skin had loosened a little and his stomach was noticeably bulging, but one could see that he had been quite handsome in his youth, and even now, his azure eyes, which held a smile, and his beautiful two-fold beard kept him from being unsightly.
Klein had just been introduced by Senator Macht and knew that this was the Earl of Hall, a member of the House of Lords and a great banker.
Of course, to him, the most important status of this aristocrat is the father of Miss Justice, and Audrey just followed next to him, her eyes brightly focused on Dawn Dantes, waiting for the next exchange of gentlemen.
This made Klein a little uncomfortable again.
I have to behave in line with Dawn Dantes persona …… A person from an ordinary background who is trying to squeeze into the upper class is bound to be a little nervous and rushed at this moment, a gentleman who prefers beauty, facing the gaze of the brightest jewel of Bakerland, nervousness and rushing are also unavoidable, but will unconsciously show its own insights and Show their own charismatic side, have the desire to express, well, a rich man with rich experience, from the chaos out of the rich man, certainly has a latent pride, self-confidence and the bottom, no matter how the inner feelings, the surface will try their best to be calm, respect but not inferior …… Klein thought of the electric turn of events, a smile appeared on his face, salute to the close Count Hall said .:
”Honorable Count, I just happened to have seen your check, your goodness your kindness are let me extremely admire, but you never show off these, do not tell others how much they donated.”
Earl Hall chuckled:
”No, it is not as much as you, for I have borne far less than you.”
His latent meaning was that £15,000 might be a tenth, or even a fifth, of Dawn Dantes’s total assets, and £10,000 a thousandth, or less, to him, and it was clear that the former had borne a higher price, and was willing to give it in a purer mood.
”It seems to me that all donations are kind and benevolent enough, as long as they help the poor people who are eager to change their destiny with knowledge, and from this point of view, the difference between 10,000 pounds and 15,000 pounds is only 5,000 pounds.” Crane tried to look sincere and deliberately glanced at the blonde girl who was listening without a trace.
He knew that the normal meaning of “unobtrusive” was “very obvious” to the “audience”.
Audrey held a light smile, quietly listening to her father and Dawn Dantes conversation, did not seem to notice the gentleman’s peeping, which let no feedback from the Kline “performance” is not too confident.
For his part, Earl Hall smiled and said:
”Then each of us will keep our own opinion, which is not a bad thing, at least we are both praising each other.
”I can see that you’ve had your share of tough times and have experienced that kind of life as a pauper.”
Klein said with a nod:
”I don’t shy away from those pasts, they are a valuable asset to me.”
”And that is what my friends and I lack.” Earl Hall nodded with a smile, “Because of this, you possess a unique wisdom and perspective, and I hope to have the opportunity to work with you in the future.”
”That’s what I’m looking forward to.” Klein responded appropriately and sincerely.
Earl Hall pointed to the side:
”Some friends are waiting for me to pass, may your good deeds, may your wealth grow.”
Without another word, Klein drew the Crimson Moon on his chest:
”Praise the Goddess.”
”Praise the Goddess.” Earl Hall and Audrey simultaneously nodded four times clockwise on their chests.
Watching them cross over to somewhere else, Klein couldn’t help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, he tensed up again and naturally looked around the hall, taking in the shadows of the doorway.
The big, golden-haired dog was still crouching there, quiet, silent.
……
On the carriage back to Queens, Earl Hall, who appeared to be resting his eyes, suddenly looked sideways at his daughter:
”Audrey, didn’t you say before that you wanted to enter a certain charity organization of the church to do something?
”Is there any interest in joining this charitable scholarship fund?”
”Huh?” Audrey had already sensed her father’s possible thoughts on this in church, and was appropriately surprised and bewildered at this point.
”It’s just a very small charitable fund.” Audrey’s older brother, Hebert Hall, fought for his sister.
Earl Hall smiled and shook his head:
”I’ve asked several bishops and the total donations tonight have reached 100,000 gold pounds.
”Why do you think it is so much?”
Hebert Hall frowned slightly as he thought:
”Bribing?”
Meanwhile, Audrey gave her opinion:
”Sinking of knowledge and electoral qualifications?”
Earl Hall nodded and sighed:
”Nothing exists by necessity, including mankind itself, including the nobility.”
He looked at Audrey again and smiled:
”You don’t have to force yourself, I can find other people to join this scholarship fund, I just hope you can see more because of this, not seeing certain things as inevitable will never change, hehe, if you miss this, there are other charitable organizations.”
”Dad, I’ll think about it.” Audrey responded seriously.
After listening to those stories of the poor told by Dawn Dantes, she had actually wanted to join the Scholarship Fund in her heart, to contribute to the collection of donations, liaison with the government, and organization of activities, her hesitation lies in the fact that she felt that the middle-aged gentleman was a bit of a problem.
Back at home, Audrey immediately sought out Susie and closed the door to her room.
”What do you think about that Mr. Dawn Dantes?” Audrey directly inquired.
The big blonde dog sat squatting across the room and thought for a moment:
”He seems to recognize you or a certain item on your body, and also, he is acting a lot of the time, there are certain traces …… He seems to be a bit defensive of me, very keen ……”
”Well, I’ve noticed that too, he could be the Extraordinary One, he’s performing well, but still acting, but that’s normal, we all take on different roles and act accordingly when we’re in the social arena, when we’re dealing with different people.” Audrey said thoughtfully, “The biggest question remains, why was he surprised to see me, even a little frightened, and also, that he was involved in two cases in a row, especially the Baron Sindras one, which seems to have the presence of the Extraordinary Factor, with traces of guidance …… ”
Susie opened her mouth, unable to find a definitive enough explanation, so she let out a “woof”.
Audrey, on the other hand, turned away from the thought:
Well …… have to find someone to investigate Dawn Dantes, wait to confirm that there is no big problem, and then join that bursary fund …… ah yes, it’s almost Monday, can be commissioned at the tarot meeting Forsyth and “moon “Mr.”, they’re both in Birkeland ……
……
Monday afternoon, three o’clock sharp.
A deep red light leaps up inside the grand palace and settles on a blurred figure.
”Justice,” Audrey said with a quick glance around the room, looking to the uppermost head of the long bronze table, smiling and saluting:
”Good afternoon, Mr. ‘Fool’~”
