At the same time (?), in Cairo, Egypt, in the luxurious suite on the top floor of the Cairo Grand Hotel.
"Hmm." After returning to the hotel, Albert was so tired that he couldn't help but rub his shoulders.
"Don't you need to go take a nap?" Mutt asked.
"But I'm not in the mood to sleep at all right now." Albert lay lazily on the sofa and continued to rub the next door, "Aren't you going to take a bath? Then go ahead. After you wash it, it will be my turn."
"Okay." Mutt didn't waste any time with Albert. He went to get some changes of clothes and walked towards the bathroom. Then he suddenly thought of something and turned around and said: "Daddy's dinner tonight."
The memorial service...you also plan to attend, right?"
"I went back. What happened?" Albert replied without thinking.
"That's good." The death of Sphinx's father seemed to have caused a considerable blow to Mutt. The cat-man boy is still a little sluggish and in a trance: "Although Captain Shiloma said, Dad's
The will requested that the memorial service be kept simple and not disturb too many big people to come and pay their respects. However, I think for a big man like him, the more people attending the memorial service, the better.”
"You think so, Meow?" The tiger man young man said: "On the contrary, I agree with dad's idea. If it is just a casual acquaintance without any real friendship, it would be better for such a person not to come to the memorial service. Only those who sincerely will mourn him,
Only those who feel sad about his passing are qualified to attend his memorial service."
"You're right." The look on the cat boy's face changed subtly: "That's okay. That's it. I have to go to bed after taking a shower. I can't attend my father's memorial service in a low spirit.
"
"Yeah, let's go ------" At this moment, the phone in Albert's trouser pocket rang.
"Hello? Who is it?" Tiger took out the phone and put it to his ear without thinking.
"Albert? We need to talk." What rang out from the microphone was the voice of the elf girl Chanel.
"Is it you?" The tiger man youth was a little stunned: "Wait a minute, how did you get my phone number?"
"Whose phone call is it?" Mutt asked when he saw something was wrong with Albert's expression.
"Don't worry..." The tiger man covered the phone and hummed to the cat man a little unhappily: "I have to go out for a while. You should go to bed after taking a shower. The door of the hotel room should be locked properly.
Get up, just stay here without my company and don’t go out, do you understand?”
"I'm not your prisoner!" Mutt said angrily.
"But don't forget, there are bad people outside who want to take your life." Albert retorted: "You running around outside without any ability to protect yourself will only make people more worried."
"Okay!" The cat boy pouted, turned around and rushed into the bathroom angrily, slamming the bathroom door shut.
"Don't worry about me, go on a date with your girlfriend! You're a guy who values sex over friends!!" His voice still came out clearly from the bathroom, and he seemed to be shouting at a very loud volume.
Was the secret revealed so easily? Albert couldn't help but feel shocked.
"Um, are you okay over there?" Chanel's urging came from the phone: "We should probably make an appointment to meet somewhere?"
"Indeed." Tiger originally wanted to invite Chanel to his hotel room, but when he thought that their conversation would be heard by Mutt, he felt that this was inappropriate. So, let him go to Chanel's room? No, no.
No, this seems even more inappropriate.
"Don't meet at the hotel, how about we meet at a restaurant outside?" Albert then asked.
"Exactly what I want." Chanel said, and without talking to Albert, she hurriedly interrupted the conversation: "Then, in twenty minutes, can we meet at the [Sea View Restaurant] on the northern suburbs of Cairo?"
"Okay, okay." Albert replied with a blushing face. Think about it carefully, isn't this just a date? And it's a date with a girl? But it's a date with a beautiful girl like Chanel? It's really annoying
So excited---although he had already done those embarrassing things with Chanel before...
When he thought of this, Albert's already red face became even redder. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You must put away your evil thoughts quickly. It would be very embarrassing if little Albert, whose lower body is still excited, goes on a date.
The tiger man young man took a series of deep breaths and tried his best to calm himself down. At the same time, he also went to the bedside table to pick up some high-end clothes and prepare for a date. Then he suddenly remembered that he was actually full of sweat and stinky, and he drove the iron cavalry all the way from
I haven’t washed myself since I flew back from Lvov. In addition to my own smell, I also have the smell of the cat boy. This will definitely be disgusted by girls, right? Should I take a shower first? However, the bathroom is already there
Occupied by Mutt. Albert had the weird idea of rushing into the bathroom and washing with Mutt for a moment, but of course his reason immediately rejected this weird idea. Fortunately, there were more places he could go than this luxurious suite.
, as a benefit for participating in the Round Table Trial, there is another room in the Cairo Hotel that he and Uncle Palamedes share. Now Uncle Leopard Man should be in Bediville's ship, so Albert
Wouldn't it be better to go to another hotel room and take a shower?
Albert acted quickly when he thought of this. He only had less than twenty minutes left, and it took a long time for the hairy orc to take a bath. He didn't want to be late for his first date with Chanel.
So he took a change of clothes, rushed out of the luxury suite like a tornado, and went straight to another hotel room.
"Idiot." Hearing the exaggerated noise outside the bathroom, Mutt probably knew what Albert was eager to do, and he hummed a little unhappily.
Fifteen minutes later.
"Oh, you're early." Although he said so, in fact Chanel came earlier. When the tiger rushed over, he could already see the elf girl standing gracefully in front of the store from a distance.
"I, I've arrived as early as possible..." Albert said while panting. He thought that Chanel would dress up more beautifully before going out on a date, but he didn't expect that the other party would only wear a suit to facilitate movement.
A short-sleeved shirt and jeans. Isn’t it embarrassing for Albert to appear in formal clothes like this?!
"Aren't you hot dressed like this?" Of course, Chanel also noticed Albert's outfit. She couldn't hold back her smile. However, the white tiger appeared in front of her in a white suit with a serious face, and she was still so silly.
It's really cute.
"No, it's not hot..." Albert turned his head and glanced at the restaurant they had agreed on, and then he finally knew the real reason why Chanel was waiting outside the restaurant. Because the restaurant was not open at all yesterday.
Moby Dick's attack seems to have had a huge impact. Even now, many shops and restaurants have put up "Closed for Business" signs, not wanting to commit crimes in such an unfavorable situation.
For couples to go on a date, today might be the worst day, and this might be the worst place? Thinking of this, the tiger man's young man's ears drooped.
"Why do you look disappointed? You don't think I asked you out to play, right?" Chanel also saw through Albert's thoughts and asked directly.
"No, not meow?"
"I'm here to talk to you...(she suddenly lowered her voice) about the Sphinx daddy." Chanel smiled bitterly at the tiger and said: "This is not a date, so can you keep it tight?"
point?"
"Okay, okay..." Knowing that this was indeed not a date, Albert was obviously disappointed.
"Do you want to change your clothes?" Chanel said jokingly: "I originally planned to talk to you at a place where there is no one at the beach, but you are dressed so well, I am embarrassed. There are still a few people in the city.
Let’s go to a clothing store that is open for business and get a set of clothes that are convenient for movement?”
"This...Okay." Albert thought that he might need to wear this formal suit tonight when he attended the memorial service of Father Sphinx. It would not be a good thing to get it dirty now, so he agreed.
The elf girl's proposal.
"So this is really a date, shopping for clothes or something." He added.
"Stop it!" Chanel said in a long tone, but she was smiling and not angry at all.
Five minutes later, on a depressed urban street, a clothing store was still operating normally.
"Wow, it's really deserted." Albert couldn't help complaining when he saw that there were no other customers in the store except him and Chanel. The only clerk on the cashier desk in the distance seemed to hear Albert
If you are serious, you are forcing a smile.
"Are you embarrassed to say this directly..." Chanel felt helpless at Tiger's low emotional intelligence. She smiled wryly and pretended to pick up her clothes casually, then she came to Albert and lowered her voice: "
It's not convenient for me to talk nonsense in the hotel, because I'm afraid there will be eavesdroppers in the hotel room. Now that I've asked you out, I guess we can talk about it anywhere."
"So what do you want to talk about?" Albert also asked in a low voice.
"It's about Father Sphinx, of course." Chanel said: "I think his death is very suspicious. To be honest, I don't even think he is dead yet, he just claimed to be dead."
"I have doubted that too." Albert snorted, "But he divided all his property in the form of a will. Hundreds of billions of property was distributed to his descendants and even the team.
Are you a member? Is there really someone who would take death as a joke and let his wealth go away?"
You know, as one of the main players of the Sandstorm Sphinx team, Albert also received two percent of the inheritance of Father Sphinx, which is two billion Egyptian coins. No one will do it for "
Acting" and giving away his two billion fortune to outsiders who were strangers to him.
"What you said is correct. Normal people would definitely not be willing to part with it. Unless ------"
"Unless?" Tiger frowned.
"Unless he has a special reason to do this." The elf girl looked at Albert with keen eyes and deduced: "For example, there is a dangerous enemy that he must pretend to be dead and avoid."
