v3 Chapter 88: a frustrated leonard

"Old man, are you sure?" Leonard pretended to stroke his drooping hair and whispered to himself.

"There can be no mistake, that girl is your 'similar', and the one parasitic on her is not well hidden... I just don't know which wild 'thief' demigod who lacks 'common sense', Or Amon is deliberately 'fishing'." Pales Zoroaster's old voice sounded in his ear.

In response, Leonard scoffed and muttered softly, "If it was really Amon, would you take the initiative to talk to me now?"

"Yes, I have finally grown up. This time the analysis is good." Pallez didn't get annoyed, but laughed "haha" and praised, "Finally willing to use his brain to think about the problem!"

The corners of Leonard's mouth twitched a few times, always feeling that the old man was "connoting" himself.

"Find a way to get closer to her, I need to do some confirmation." Pallez suggested.

"How to get close? What excuse?" Leonard asked subconsciously.

"There is a dance party here..." Pallez reluctantly stated the surrounding environment.

Hearing this, Leonard was stunned for a second, then glanced at Abner Brain, who had just skipped the opening dance with a courtesan on the dance floor, and then he reacted, then tidied up his collar and hair, He walked straight to Miss Emma at the dining table.

Yes, because of the private investigation of Viscount Abner Brain, Leonard recognized her after seeing the information of this young lady.

Only halfway through, he felt a little strange, after all, no one came to invite such a beautiful lady to dance.

"Miss Emma, ​​can I ask you to do a dance?" Leonard said after putting on a gesture he thought was very handsome.

Emma glanced at him a few times, then turned her head away and said unceremoniously:

"I don't dance with weird men!"

"Huh?" Leonard, who stretched out his hand halfway only to realize that he was rejected, was suddenly confused.

...

On the other side, Abner, who had skipped the opening dance, was walking among the invited guests. While chatting, he talked about his plans for Beldan City.

But unfortunately, most people are actually more interested in his film company, while the response to the "Beldan City" project is slightly indifferent.

However, this was also expected by Abner, and he was not disappointed... Anyway, the same is true of investing in "movies". As long as the money is in his own hands, is it not how he wants to spend it?

After all, the current film industry is still in the stage of savage growth. The directors and producers are all performed by the company's own people. It's not up to you to decide where the money is spent.

As long as 80% of the budget goes to Beldan to build the location, isn't it also a disguised investment in the construction of the territory?

In this way, Abner stopped and walked between the gongs and chips, and soon came to a middle-aged man with black hair and brown eyes, deep facial features, and a typical Loen appearance.

He wears a silk top hat, has a slender face, and has a rather gloomy temperament, but it is not the type that is gloomy and uncomfortable, but the kind with night connotations.

"Mr. Patrick Brain?" Abner asked with a smile, holding the glass.

"Hello, Viscount Brian... I'm Patrick." After speaking, the man looked at Abner carefully before sighing, "When I heard the reputation of 'hero detective' before, I often talked to others. The clansmen said that your achievements are comparable to mine... and now, I feel that my original words were still too arrogant."

Ruen's subtlety always makes people smile when complimenting others.

Abner nodded thoughtfully, and under close contact, part of the other party's "River of Destiny" also appeared in his eyes. Although he couldn't see much from it, he could be sure that the other party was indeed blood relatives of this body.

As a result, Abner showed a "polite" smile, and began to chat with the "experimental" demigod cultivated by the "Spiritual Religion" artificial death faction in front of him, and took the initiative to lead the topic in the direction of "tribes" .

After all, it is still too difficult to silently obtain the blood of a demigod, even if the other party lacks a lot of knowledge in the field of mysticism, in the original work, Miss Messenger was evaluated as "undead..." "Fool..."

"My territory construction requires a lot of manpower. Can you recommend a few outstanding 'people'? After all, your own people are always more trustworthy." Abner smiled and put forward his "request". Out of "Olive Branch".

Patrick also showed a sincere smile when he heard the words, and immediately recommended three young people with college degrees.

One is Nalem, who graduated from Backlund Institute of Technology and is currently a staff member of a construction company;

One is Beaton, who graduated from the History Department of Tingen University and is Klein's senior;

The last one was named Kang Fu, who had never heard of Abner from the university he graduated from, but his major was more comparable to that of a film company—the Department of Acting.

Patrick even admitted that Confer is actually his illegitimate son. Although he is not named "Brian", he is a good actor. He has appeared in many dramas, but because of his background, he has been excluded by others, so he can't make it.

There should be no problem with Narum and Beaton. They are the so-called elites of the so-called Brain family, and they just want to follow me for a career... This is considered to be their own needs, just treat them as selling blood.

As for Kang Fu... I'm afraid he's an Extraordinary... Studying the "Acting" major is for better "acting"?

Hehe, maybe he was a "gift" from Patrick after he drank the excess potion...

Well, this illegitimate child still believes in "Death"... Is Patrick trying to preach in my territory through him?

Thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be a problem... Anyway, it won't be long before "Death" is the vest of the "Goddess"... It doesn't matter if you believe in him...

With the help of Patrick's disturbance of his "destiny", Abner observed more "tributaries", and many thoughts flashed in his mind.

Next, after instructing Patrick to let the three young people report to him as soon as possible, Abner passed him and walked towards the location of Viscount Horatio's family with a glass of wine.

Then, he witnessed Leonard being rejected.

Abner sneered inwardly, but also quickened his pace, because Leonard's abnormal behavior, coupled with the previous reminder from "The Lion" Leon, made him sure that there must be something wrong with Emma.

...

In order to play the role of a "swindler" before, Emma often played tricks on the men who invited her at the dance, which often made people not come off the stage, so she had a "weird" reputation.

But at that time, people mostly talked behind their backs and would not say anything in person.

But with the assassination of Duke Negan, her father was also dismissed, and all kinds of unpleasant words have begun to be disrespectful, and her reputation has become more and more unbearable... although she herself does not care.

However, she doesn't care, doesn't mean her mother doesn't care.

So, after Emma unceremoniously rejected Leonard's invitation, Mrs. Norma finally couldn't help reprimanding her~lightnovelpub.net~ But at this moment, Abner's voice was timely. Comes:

"Miss, do I have the honor to invite you to dance?"

Seeing this, Emma smiled and immediately put the champagne glass in her hand on the tray in the waiter's hand, and politely responded:

"It's my pleasure too."

This completely different attitude made Mrs. Norma very surprised and looked at Abner several times in surprise.

It also made Leonard Mitchell, who had not gone far, suddenly "indignant".

Obviously Abner Brain is not much handsomer than me!
