Chapter 567 Spending Money Like Water, The King of the Far East (Part 2)
Milan has actually not been peaceful these past two days, especially among the city's top aristocratic circles,&1t;/p
Or maybe it should be said that it caused a stir.&1t;/p
On the edge of the city of Milan, in a noble manor with high stone walls and large iron gates with patterned thorns, there is a luxuriously built sunshade ceiling garden, with white streamlined tea tables and seats dotted among the green flowers.
&1t;/p
The bright autumn sunshine refracts into the glass ceiling and shines on the gathering place specially designed for afternoon tea gatherings in this noble manor.&1t;/p
It is the stage and battlefield for noble ladies.&1t;/p
Large skirts in light or dark colors sway among the flowers, creating a typical lady's party of this era,&1t;/p
No one in the aristocratic circle is better informed than them. From the mouths of these ladies who regard chatting as an indispensable part of life, you can learn about all the recent events in the aristocratic circle,&1t;/p
Although it is a gathering of ladies and gentlemen, they are actually divided into their own small circles, and they compete for status and face.&1t;/p
But there seems to be some exceptions today, everyone gathered in a circle.&1t;/p
Because what happened in the fashion store that they were all familiar with yesterday was like a huge rock that hit the calm waters of these aristocratic ladies. A figure they had never seen before broke into Milan's upper class society in the most arrogant way.
circle.&1t;/p
A young man from the Far East, after meeting the owner of the store by smashing expensive handicrafts in the lobby,&1t;/p
I bought that store on the spot!&1t;/p
What makes this story even more incredible is that whether he smashed the sculpture or bought it for use in the store,&1t;/p
It’s all gold!&1t;/p
"Oh, God, he just smashed that beautiful glass sculpture without any warning, like a thug, and we were all shocked until the owner of the store came out."&1t;/p
On the inner side of this circle, Countess Loomis is wearing a rich expression, enjoying the attention and wonder of everyone else,&1t;/p
As a personal experiencer of what happened that day, she was like a proud peacock telling the other ladies what happened that day.&1t;/p
"Obviously he was throwing gold like a gangster from the lower class, but after he threw out the blank card, even the angry owner suddenly became humble and flattering..."&1t;/p
Speaking of this, Mrs. Loomis paused before adding: &1t;/p
"It's like magic."&1t;/p
"Does he really have that much gold?"&1t;/p
Surrounded by the circle, a lady listened to this incredible turn and suddenly asked what everyone was most concerned about.&1t;/p
Mrs. Loomis glanced at her. She was also a lady from an earl family like her, and they had a good relationship.&1t;/p
"Although it's unbelievable, but... yes, oh, God, I don't even know how much gold he threw away to buy that store that day, 1 pound? 5 pounds... or 10 pounds?"
/p
There were low exclamations in the party. Whether it was the noble ladies sitting in the inner circle or their daughters surrounding the outside, the juniors, that is, the ladies, all lightly covered their lips and expressed disbelief to the people around them.
&1t;/p
"Then who is he and why does he have so much gold!?"&1t;/p
A viscount's wife asked this question in a hurry. For her, who is not a high-ranking member of the social circle, wealth is the most important thing.&1t;/p
Although she felt that it was rude to ask such a question, the other women still nodded slightly because they were also extremely curious about who he was, especially the ladies in the periphery who were not yet engaged.&1t;/p
Because this is just like the fairy tale they all read when they were children. A foreign young man with a mysterious origin has unparalleled wealth, and then meets the princess who falls in love at first sight, and uses his power to defeat evil and protect her for life.&1t;/p
"No one knows who he is, just like no one knows why he has such a large amount of wealth."&1t;/p
Lumis picked up the black tea and took a sip. He secretly smiled at the Viscountess, and then answered somewhat arrogantly.&1t;/p
"Then what does he look like?"&1t;/p
The sudden gentle female voice made Mrs. Loomis feel nervous. Loomis looked in the direction of the woman. It was Mrs. Visconti wearing a light pink skirt, a woman who always worked with her husband in certain situations.
Great conversation at the party and a social rival.&1t;/p
Listening to this obviously difficult question, Mrs. Loomis snorted and replied confidently: &1t;/p
"That was a foreign gentleman with a very special temperament, leading a little girl in a beautiful dress."&1t;/p
"Really? It turns out that he is leading a little girl. No wonder I heard that Loomis wanted to buy that girl's skirt from that gentleman for 200 lire of silver coins."&1t;/p
Mrs. Visconti smiled softly. After hearing her words, the noble ladies nearby suddenly looked at them strangely but they hid them well.&1t;/p
2oo silver lire coins...&1t;/p
For the gentleman who was dissatisfied that he could not enter the store and just spent a lot of money to buy the store, this is probably a price that is not worth even taking a look at it...&1t;/p
Her eyes paused for a moment, and Mrs. Loomis' face suddenly became unnatural.&1t;/p
"Sisters, according to the information I have learned, that gentleman is from the golden country in the Far East. He has just arrived in Italy recently, and the first place where he showed off his lavish financial resources was not in that fashion store...
”&1t;/p
After interrupting the other party's words, Mrs. Visconti just smiled and opened her mouth, easily stealing all the attention from Loomis.&1t;/p
"From the Far East, really? That guy is..."&1t;/p
"The first place he went to was the beautiful little manor owned by Viscount Barofey. As for the process and results, I believe everyone can guess what happened."&1t;/p
Visconti revealed the information she knew with a smile, and instantly won the attention of all the ladies and their curious questions.&1t;/p
"Mr. Viscount Barrophy's manor, oh, my God, does that mean he lives there now?"&1t;/p
Visconti expressed her affirmation with a smile and answered everyone's questions. She also did not forget to add her own point of view:&1t;/p
"There is no doubt that the gentleman who owns an unknown amount of gold must be a noble king with a high status in his hometown in the Far East. He is probably the royal family of the dynasty that just collapsed."&1t;/p
Then when she finished speaking, Loomis on the other side raised his lips with renewed vigor: &1t;/p
"You are really well-informed. Did Viscount Barrofi tell you this at a dance?"&1t;/p
Hearing this retort, all the other ladies suddenly closed their mouths. Visconti narrowed his eyes slightly and was about to return it with a polite smile, &1t;/p
&1t;/p
The woman who had been sitting in the main seat spoke.&1t;/p
She is a lady in her forties, wearing the most gorgeous dress among them all. She holds the authority over gatherings of noble ladies in Milan. She is the beloved wife of a marquis in the kingdom, Lady Leila.&1t;/p
"Okay, okay, ladies, no matter who that gentleman is, you should not argue about this for the rest of your life."&1t;/p
The gentle and kind female voice stopped the verbal argument between the two of them, and then Mrs. Laila, who was wearing a big crimson skirt, looked at everyone:&1t;/p
"But since that is a foreign gentleman who came to Milan, as nobles, we cannot avoid interacting with him."&1t;/p
"But, I'm sorry to interrupt you, Mrs. Leila,"&1t;/p
The other countess looked at both Visconti and Loomis, then walked around the circle with a questioning look and said: &1t;/p
"As far as I know, everyone who wants to visit that gentleman so far seems to have been turned away."&1t;/p
Everyone's eyes suddenly turned to her again. Visconti and Loomis frowned slightly at the same time, forgetting that they were not the only smart people.&1t;/p
"This is just a matter of a ball. We don't have to worry. It would be very rude. This is something we will consider after a while, when the noble gentleman from the Far East gets used to Milan."&1t;/p
Mrs. Laila glanced at her, folded her hands and said with a smile, but at this moment!&1t;/p
A maid in maid uniform hurriedly walked in, came to Mrs. Laila's side and whispered quietly, then handed an envelope with a wax seal into her hand,&1t;/p
The moment she saw the seal on the wax wax symbolizing the highest title under the king, Mrs. Laila, who had always remained gentle and steady, suddenly showed a look of surprise, and then she opened the envelope and read it on the spot,&1t
;/p
After seeing the end of the letter, Laila carefully folded it and put it back into the envelope, and then spoke softly to the noble ladies present: &1t;/p
"Ladies, a very distinguished person is going to pass through Milan. It seems that our ball needs to be moved forward..."&1t;/p
...&1t;/p
.....&1t;/p
The deep and charming Italian night is the time for men and women,&1t;/p
The light pink palace skirt was torn off with force, and the messy white complicated underwear revealed the white soft shoulders and plump breasts, which were held in the palm of a hand,&1t;/p
The waist was hugged, and the lace skirt had already been lifted up by a hand. She was pressed into the arms of the man beside the wall. The clothes on her entire upper body had been completely taken off. Visconti breathed out hot breath.
Looking at the extremely handsome man in front of her in confusion and infatuation, she threw away all elegance and shame and moaned in courtship, letting the other person capture her lips,&1t;/p
Then he picked her up and walked to the bed with a smile...&1t;/p
A few hours later,&1t;/p
In the master's bedroom of the count's manor, Sigg put on his white robe and shawl and took one last look at the countess on the bed, who had no trace of snow-white skin and was fast asleep. She smiled and made a farewell gesture with her fingers, &1t
;/p
Then he jumped out of the window, and his figure flew across the rooftops in the night. He kept jumping and finally stopped at one of the most famous buildings in Milan.&1t;/p
On the roof of Milan Cathedral, there are also three figures in white robes and cloaks, but the leader waiting there does not look very good.&1t;/p
"You're three hours late, and you're wasting your time on those women?"&1t;/p
Myerson frowned and looked at him questioningly, feeling a little intolerable for his prodigal behavior. Sigurd smiled indifferently and spread his hands to explain: &1t;/p
"In order to obtain information, a small price is inevitable, not to mention that a countess who inherited her late husband's property and title and is also a social butterfly is really very charming."&1t;/p
Listening to the typical Italian man's wild words, Myerson frowned fiercely, while the woman on the side frowned slightly. On the contrary, the other man showed a smile that everyone knew to Sigg.
Smile.&1t;/p
"So what's the specific situation?"&1t;/p
Holding back the twitching corners of his eyebrows, Myerson held back his question and asked. When he heard that business was being discussed, Sigurd also put away his playboy demeanor and spoke out the information he had received seriously: &1t
;/p
"If the countess didn't lie, the guy who paid with wanton gold must be a participant and have some kind of alchemical ability,"&1t;/p
"And if I guess correctly, he is a Chinese."&1t;/p
"Huaxia...he is a member of that nightclub in the Far East!?"&1t;/p
Hearing the word ‘Chinese’, the woman wearing a religious robe, Kesti, frowned and asked in surprise,&1t;/p
Almost everyone in the night war world knows that there is an extremely mysterious being in the Huaxia Night Club.&1t;/p
"I don't know. He suddenly appeared in Delizhen, Italy without any trace, and no one knew his purpose."&1t;/p
Sigg looked at her and replied, appreciating and praising her beauty in his heart. Only women like this who are also extraordinary people are worthy of his pursuit.&1t;/p
"Whether he is a member of the Night Club or not, the order we received is to eliminate any factors that may hinder the noble Lord on the battlefield during this period!"&1t;/p
Taking a deep breath, Meyerson, who had the right to speak among the four, said decisively, then continued to look at Sigurd and asked: &1t;/p
"What's that person's pattern of action?"&1t;/p
"There's nothing special to say, except that he always brings a little girl with him."&1t;/p
After talking about the main business, Sigg spread his hands and said with a smile, and looked at Kesty with interest in the figure and appearance beside him, who was more outstanding than the countess just now.&1t;/p
"You can't involve innocent people. They may be ordinary people who were coerced by him and held hostage."&1t;/p
Myerson felt a little troubled and his eyes sank, and then he looked at the young man on the other side. Since he had been a participant for the shortest time and was the weakest among the four, he said: &1t;/p
"Welsh, the task of separating that innocent girl from him is left to you. Your ability should be able to do it."&1t;/p
"Okay, leave it to me."&1t;/p
Wales, who had no objection to entrusting him with such a marginal task, agreed, and then the three of them listened to Myerson speaking out the final decision and arrangements:&1t;/p
"The time is tomorrow night's dance. Sigg, you go and make preliminary contact and warning to him. If he doesn't listen to the advice..."&1t;/p
On the roof of Milan Cathedral, on the towering Gothic spire, the European participants stood erect and bathed in the glory of the Lord.&1t;/p
"Then we don't mind letting him get out of Europe."&1t;/p
