Mystery: Start with the Reader

Outside the luxurious villa at No. 22 St. Martin Street in Trier, Solon district, a man who looked to be in his forties was standing here to welcome his owner.

He has unusually deep light blue eyes, and his dyed black hair is neatly combed. He has a graceful and elegant temperament. Even though he is a little older, he is the type that can make a lady shine.

This man's name is Bowen Bennett, and it was Ms. Helen who helped Abner find a steward who met his requirements.

Although this gentleman is a devout believer of the Mother Earth, he has an adopted son who has joined the "Eternal Sun Church" and has now reached the position of bishop. Therefore, in Helen's view, he perfectly fits Abner's trustworthy and reliable character. , and there are requests for connections in the "Eternal Burning Sun Church".

——After visiting the city-state in "Grossell's Travels" a few days ago, Helen lent her mansion, which was not too far away from the Cullen family's ancestral home, to Abner for free.

At this moment, Abner took "Chessia" and the butler Bowen into the study on the third floor.

"Sir, according to your instructions, I have hired ten maids, nine male servants, a cook, two gardeners, a coachman, and a coachman's assistant...

"The weekly expenditure on these servants is 20 fils,

"In addition, regarding the recruitment of housekeepers, the 'Association for Helping Household Servants' has also given a list, and you can choose it yourself."

With that said, Mr. Butler handed a booklet to Abner's hand. He didn't mention the valet. The existence of "Chessia" made him think that the master preferred the valet. .

Abner took the brochure and glanced at it for a few times before putting it down. After all, looking at resumes alone, he couldn't find much about the candidates.

"Do you have any suggestions?" Abner asked with a smile.

The housekeeper Bowen seemed to have been prepared, but he still thought for a moment and said: "Jennifer seems to be experienced, but she is a believer in the 'God of Steam and Machinery'. She has previously been in a mechanical maintenance position in other people's homes. As for the financial aspect, I can only say that it is average.

"Carolyn, there is nothing wrong with her resume on the surface, but as far as I know, she is more interested in seducing her male protagonist into bed than working..."

At this point, Butler Bowen secretly glanced at Abner's expression and saw that Abner had no intention of moving. Then he continued, "Finally, Ancas... This is a lady with a good reputation. She has already achieved success in the past few years." She married in the eastern city of Rite and returned to Trier for some reason...but in terms of business ability, she is indeed stronger than the two above."

Abner naturally heard the tendency in Bowen's words, but he didn't care. Even if Bob really colluded with this so-called "Uncas" for corruption in the future, wouldn't he have the means to recover it?

In this case, it is better to ask for someone with the highest professional level.

Thinking of this, Abner clicked on Ancas's name on the roster and said, "It's her."

"Yes, sir... I will go to the legal counsel to draw up a contract right now." Mr. Bowen, the butler, bowed and responded. Seeing that his employer had no intention of talking anymore, he wisely withdrew.

As soon as the door of the study room was closed, Crossfia's figure appeared beside Abner. She looked at the luxurious decorations in the room and asked with a smile: "Why did you specifically ask Helen for this house?" Contact the Sauron family 'reasonably' and then unite with them to defeat the Delien family?

"However, I have to remind you that Sauron is no longer as arrogant and stupid as he was a hundred years ago after what happened to Russell. It is very difficult to take advantage of them."

——Since Crossfia took over the mission of the Earth Mother, she naturally chose to live in Abner's house so that she could act as a "thug" at any time.

"But Sauron's biggest threat currently also comes from Delien. Once there is an internal problem in the latter, they will not let it go...and I am just providing information so that they can take action in time." As he said, Ai Buna pulled out a newspaper, pointed to the headlines on it and said, "Besides, the opportunity has appeared."

Closfiya took a curious look and found that the whole article was about the love affair of a certain socialite in Trier. She only mentioned at the end that the socialite was frightened by the parade crowd when she went out... This It was quite normal, but the newspaper detailed the reasons for the march and its political demands.

Closfia was born in the Feneport royal family and was quite familiar with politics. She pondered for a moment and then uttered one word: "Press control?"

"Yes, the wave of resistance against 'press control' is getting bigger and bigger. It is conceivable that it will never be passed in Congress in the end... and the Prime Minister may not be able to tolerate it, and will inevitably dissolve it before the April election. The current Congress, after reorganization, forced the passage of this bill." Abner said confidently.

Even if the Prime Minister didn't think of this, he would let Cello Delion, who was replaced by Destiny, stir up the idea.

"Once the Congress is dissolved, the conflicts that have accumulated before will probably break out, and the situation may get out of control... Will the Prime Minister really do that?" Closfiya paused here, and then said, "You too Don't expect me to 'hypnotize' him... With a position like his, he will inevitably be inspected by the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun on a regular basis, and it is impossible to hide it."

"I understand, but it's not that Mr. Prime Minister lacks political wisdom, but that he can't help himself... During this period, we have many methods at our disposal." Abner stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the ropes not far away. Looking in the direction of the Lun family's ancestral home, he continued, "Do you think the Sauron family will let go of the opportunity for restoration?"

"It's impossible for them to succeed in restoration..." Crossfia shook her head.

After all, the church will not allow it, and the Sauron family is still weak and unable to fight against the church.

"So, I have to give them a little more confidence." Abner said with a smile.

"What is it?" Crosfiya asked doubtfully.

"Secret." Abner smiled mysteriously without explaining, which was considered as revenge for being "calculated" by the other party.

Crosfiya glanced at him with a half-smile, and did not dwell on the issue. Instead, she said: "I remember that one of your 'friends' has a little girl from the Sauron family...who plotted against her family like this. Is it okay?"

"Elaine is just a side branch of Sauron. If you don't take into account those direct descendants, how did she get to the top?" Abner said confidently, thinking of the "red maid" who worked hard to help him run the "film and television company".

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Crossfia quickly disappeared, and then Fanny walked in from outside with the orange cat.

——Abner had given instructions to the servants before moving into the villa. If Fanny, Fors, Elaine, and Helen came to visit, they would be brought directly to the study without notification.

The orange cat, also known as "Lion" Leon, sniffed his nose doubtfully after coming in, and looked around for a while, but found nothing.

Fanny stepped forward as enthusiastically as ever, gave Abner a hug, and then got down to business: "My father would like to invite you to dinner on Friday night to thank you for taking care of me on the road..."

With that said, she handed a beautiful invitation letter to Abner's hand.

"Your father...invited me? Is there anything else besides thanking you?" Abner pretended to be surprised, but he was confident in his heart.

In fact, if the other party really wanted to treat him to a treat as a thank you, he should have invited him long ago instead of delaying it for a week like now.

But it just so happens that I also need the cooperation of the Surrey family... Even if the congressman originally came to see me, I will take the initiative to visit him after I have completely settled down...

While Abner was muttering in his mind, he heard Fanny reply: "It should be about the shares of Suhit Bank..."

really! As soon as he heard this, Abner grasped the mentality of Fanny's father, the congressman.

After all, in a sense, the Sarri family's crisis in Suchit Bank was caused by his design in the past two days.

Who would have thought that Mr. Henry, the second shareholder of Suchit Bank, was actually an agent of the "Men in Black" organization?

Abner used Cerro to indirectly order Henry to disclose his intention to sell the shares to Foles.

As for the fact that this was actually a plot against Fanny's father, Abner didn't think it was too much, so he thought it was just to vent his anger for Fanny!

——It was only after Abner came to Trier that he learned that the reason why Fanny had been settling in Backlund with her grandfather was because after her mother died unexpectedly, her father married another widow, making her gradually helpless. Integrate into the atmosphere of a family of four.

…

Bayam, in the backyard of the Governor's Palace.

A cadre of the "Celestial Sect" looked greedily at the beautiful figure sleeping in the "crystal" and said to the guard who brought it over: 'Well done! Where did you find her? ’

"A few fishermen discovered her and planned to sell her...and then I asked for her." When the guard said this, he also felt that he was very lucky. On the way to buy medicine from the fat pharmacist, he could meet such a woman. Good thing.

"Very good! What reward do you want?" the cadre asked.

The guard turned his head and looked at the slim figure in the crystal, swallowed and said, "I... after you achieve your goal, can you let him come with me once?"

The cadre sneered and thought: Is this a witch that you, an ordinary person, can touch? Aren't you afraid of getting sick to death?

But on the surface, he smiled and nodded: "Okay!"

This reply immediately made the guard jump for joy.

At the same time, Klein, who was pretending to be sealed and unconscious, felt nauseated. Although he knew that it was aimed at Tracy and had nothing to do with him, he still couldn't help but get goosebumps.

This once again deepened his understanding of his true self.

On the other side, after the guards retreated, the cadres did not dare to neglect. While directing the people to move the crystal to the dungeon, they also ordered people to deliver the message to the "Reproduction Envoy".
