"Ah... I didn't expect you to recognize me?"

Marta Louise looked at Alan and told him directly about her life story with a look of surprise on her face.

But Alan still had that cold expression.

"It wasn't me who recognized you, it was my butler who recognized you. He reminded me and I just remembered it."

Although Alan's words were hurtful, Marta Louise was not angry at all. Instead, she looked at Little Stone with a smile on her face and exclaimed, "Is this the butler of a traditional British aristocratic family? He is so strong, capable of both literature and martial arts, and can remind the owner of the guest's identity when the owner needs it most. He really lives up to his reputation..."

Marta Louise looked at Xiao Shitou with envy. The butler did not look very old and was most likely not a head butler but a trainee butler. However, even such a trainee butler had such high professionalism that he could accurately remember who each noble was, their names, their identities, and could remind his master just at the right time.

He is not like his old housekeeper, who only knows how to nag and complain, and would talk about himself for a long time whenever someone spends money.

The gap in this comparison is too big!

Marta Louise was so envious that she felt like she was about to break free.

Marta Louise was devastated by the confidence and strength that Allen exuded naturally after just a few minutes of knowing him.

…

The reason why Allen was indifferent to the Norwegian Princess Marta Louise was mainly because her family had a very low presence and was a poor royal family.

The Norwegian royal family is only slightly better off than the Swedish royal family.

But they are both in the same boat, and in Allen's eyes, they are both poor.

Let’s take the Norwegian royal family, the eldest princess’s family, for example.

So far, the entire Norwegian royal family has only one car that belongs to them. It was produced in 1930 and is now more than 60 years old. It is a classic car among classic cars.

This car is older than the current king.

In addition to this car, their family also has a royal yacht.

Sounds awesome...

But this yacht is also a vintage yacht produced in the 1930s, more than 60 years old...

There is also a royal train produced in the 1960s.

In addition, their family has six palaces, and then...

That’s all.

…

By the way, the most important point is that their family is very small, with only four people in the family, which is all the members of the Norwegian royal family.

King Harald V, Queen, Princess Royal and Crown Prince.

No more...

The eldest princess and the crown prince have not yet married. There are only four people in their family, six palaces, an old car, an old yacht, and an old train. These are all their family assets.

With assets like this, they are not qualified to compare with the British royal family, let alone Allen.

So... facing these poor guys, Alan couldn't muster any interest at all. He was afraid that if he got involved with them, they would be in such a miserable state that they would come to him for money.

The Norwegian government only gives the Norwegian royal family more than 10 million pounds in support every year.

This 10 million pounds may seem like a lot, but many people cannot earn that much money in their entire lifetime.

But the Norwegian royal family has a lot of trouble.

The six palaces need to be maintained and repaired every year. Appearance is the most important!

In addition to these, the servants' salaries also have to be paid. With these six crappy palaces, they cannot have too few servants. If there are too few, no one will look after the palaces. If something happens to the palaces, they will have to spend more money.

Apart from these expenses, at the end of each year, the family of four would only have about a million pounds left to spend at their disposal.

And that’s it… That doesn’t even include the maintenance costs of their classic car, yacht, and special train.

The remaining money is used for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of their family of four, as well as for attending various activities and giving gifts to relatives. They live a tight life all year round.

…

"This is what they are supposed to do. What did you order? Do you want any more?"

Alan was kind enough to prepare some extra dishes for the poor princess to show his hospitality. The main reason was that their family was so miserable. Although they lived much better than ordinary people, it was still very miserable in the aristocratic world!

"No, no, no... It's already very kind of you to let me sit here and rest. I'll treat you to your coffee."

Marta Louise seemed not to understand what Alan meant, and even took the initiative to invite Alan for coffee.

“…”

Although a cup of coffee was not worth much, Alan was still speechless at her false generosity.

Alan would feel guilty if he spent a penny on them.

"No."

Pointing to the floor under his feet, Allen introduced casually: "From today on, this place belongs to me. I just came here to take a look today, and found that there was really nothing I wanted to buy here, so I sat here to rest for a while."

“…”

Alan said it casually, but this sentence contains a lot of information. What does it mean that this place belongs to you from today on?

The famous Harrods department store has changed hands?

Although this place was originally purchased by an Egyptian owner, who claimed to have spent 400 million pounds on renovation, now let's just look at the decoration style.

Even if these 400 million are not counted as money, the market value of this department store itself is at least worth 600 to 700 million pounds!

It's just that simple and it belongs to you?

This is 600 to 700 million pounds, not 60,000 to 70,000 pounds!

Marta Louise swallowed subconsciously, she had never seen so much money since she was a child.

Look at other people...

At such a young age, he not only has such great artistic achievements, he is also so handsome and has such great talent in business.

This is... As expected, he is the No. 1 man that women have a crush on on the British Isles.

First of all, Princess Marta Louise's look at Allen was even more strange. If just now it was just the most primitive appreciation, now it has become the most primitive appreciation, plus the passion and yearning from the heart.

I heard that this person has never been married, and even has very few scandals, and has always been devoted to his artistic career?

this……

This is simply the top template of the perfect husband.

Marta Louise looked at the seat next to Allen and wanted to sit closer to him, but then she thought, what if she sat over there so rashly and left a bad impression on the other person?

A man like Allen must have no shortage of women around him, even beautiful women!

Plus, he also likes to make movies. Although he rarely shows his face to the public, the film and television industry...

Marta Louise thought for a moment, could a woman in the film and television industry resist this man's lust?

Any normal woman wouldn't be able to handle this, right?

What advantages do I have compared to them?

The identity of the princess?

Even though the other party is just an earl, he is much better than their family in terms of financial resources and strength. At this point, they can no longer simply judge by title.

If you want to get closer to the other person, or take the relationship to the next level, you have to...

Try a different approach!

Thinking of this, Marta Louise suddenly had an idea. She leaned forward and said to Alan with a smile: "Alan... I heard that you don't have a partner yet, right?"

…

“…”

Alan felt a little annoyed as he watched the little girl asking him such questions with a gossipy look on her face. It was not polite to ask a friend he had just met about private matters.

Alan shook his head and said nothing, taking it as an answer.

"Then... do you believe in horoscopes? I'm very knowledgeable about this, and I can help you. If you want to know more, I can also tell fortunes, which is very accurate."

Marta Louise spoke in a gentle and persuasive tone, looking at Alan expectantly.

“…”

Even the fucking fortune teller has come out. What? Are they planning to tell me that I look amazing and destined to be rich and powerful, and that those junky cars and yachts in your house are suitable for me, and then you sell them to me at a high price?

Allen stared at Marta Louise for a long time, and in the face of Marta Louise's expectant gaze, he rejected her mercilessly: "I don't believe in astrology or divination. I believe in...guns."

“…”

Alan's answer once again stunned Marta Louise. It is understandable that you don't believe in horoscopes or divination. It's also fine if you say you believe in science, but what does it mean to believe in guns?

Is there anyone who still believes this?

Allen's answer really surprised Marta Louise.

For a moment, she even forgot some of the words.

…

Alan stood up and looked at the dazed Marta Louise. He felt that this girl was a little abnormal, she was mumbling and nagging.

If I stay with her for a while longer, who knows what will happen.

"I have something else to do. Bye bye, Little Stone!"

"Master, I'm here."

"Leave someone to accompany the princess, and when they pay, give them a 20% discount."

"ah?"

Little Stone opened his mouth and reminded quietly: "Master, Harrods does not offer discounts outside of the discount season."

"I know. We can just make up for the discount. Let's go."

After saying this, Alan nodded to Marta Louise and walked away without any delay, looking extremely cool.

His behavior of trying to keep people and giving discounts was so unpredictable that Marta Louise was a little confused.

After everyone had gone far away, the butler came over and gently touched her, reminding her in a low voice: "Your Highness... this gentleman is really..."

The butler thought for a long time but couldn't think of any words of praise. He usually didn't praise others, but he regretted not having read enough when he needed it. Now he was a little stuck for a moment.

But this gentleman's way of doing things is indeed very generous.

He didn't just wave his hand and say it was free.

Although it looks more grand that way, they come out to represent the Norwegian royal family.

It’s a bit disrespectful to just give it a waiver. It’s a matter of face!

A 20% discount is fine, since he is the new owner of the department store. Although it is against the rules to give a discount now, he is using his own money to subsidize the cost of the discount.

This is giving them a lot of face. Look... this is the Norwegian royal family's face. They can get discounts when they buy things.

Although it is not much cheaper, it can be seen from the way this person does things that this person is not simple!

As expected, he is a traditional hereditary earl of Britain. Everyone from such an orthodox old aristocratic family is an elite.

The old butler admired Alan again in his heart.

…

When Alan returned to the manor, it was almost noon. After having some lunch, he took a short bath and went out for a walk in the morning. He was not in a particularly good mood and was a little depressed, so he simply took a nap.

…

On the other hand, Yasin Rania followed Alan's orders and picked out some things that she usually liked but had never been willing to buy or had no money to buy, such as a small bag, a pair of mid-heeled shoes, and a high-end dress.

After buying three items, Yasin Rania thought for a moment, went to the men's section, and bought another belt.

That's all the purchases.

She wasn't going to just buy whatever Alan said.

Since she is just allowed to experience shopping, it is enough for her to try a few stores. People should learn to be content!

After taking her things and waiting for the bodyguard to pay the bill, Yasin Rania was about to go back to find Allen, but the bodyguard reminded her that the gentleman had already left.

At this point, Yasin Rania was a little dumbfounded. The boss was gone, so what should she do now?

"His Excellency said that if you finish your shopping, you can go to the manor to find him. We can set off now."

The bodyguard looked at Yasin Rania, who looked helpless, and gave her some considerate advice.

"Going to... the boss's manor?"

"Well, let's go, you don't have to worry, it's in London."

"Ah? In the manor in London?"

Yasin Rania couldn't imagine what it would be like to have a private estate in London.

This is a manor, not a villa!

A manor specifically refers to a house with front and back gardens that is much larger than a villa.

In a place like London where every inch of land is valuable, this... is beyond her imagination even more than Harrods.

…

Following the bodyguard back to the manor, Yasin Rania looked at the servants she met along the way. She had not seen the maids in this family yet, but these male servants all gave her a very strange feeling.

Although they were also working, these male servants were all tall and strong. When they looked at them, they gave them fierce eyes. This kind of eyes... Yasin Rania was very familiar with it.

Her family used to live in Kuwait. It was very chaotic there in the past few years, with many marauding soldiers. The eyes of those soldiers were just like those of the servants, extremely fierce.

Yassine Rania followed her parents to seek refuge abroad because her hometown was plunged into war. Later, she went to Egypt to attend university. She was instinctively afraid when she thought of these soldiers.

But when she thought that this was her boss's manor, she had a strange sense of security, a feeling of both fear and safety.

…

The next time she saw Alan was on the balcony. Yasin Rania looked at Alan wearing only a bathrobe, sitting on a lounge chair, revealing his strong chest muscles.

Seeing this scene, Yasin Rania's face turned red again.

"Are you back? How was the investigation?"

Alan asked without even turning his head when he heard the footsteps.

"Boss... I didn't buy many things. I also bought you a belt."

Yasin Rania's weak voice, coupled with her slightly accented English, sounded strange.

Alan turned his head slightly, pointed at his back and said, "Do you know how to massage? Come here and give me a massage."

His unyielding tone prompted Yasin Rania to take small steps, move behind Alan step by step, and gently place her small hands on his shoulders.

"Boss, I didn't do your job well. Will you be angry?"

"Haha...there's nothing to be angry about."

Alan felt that this young tour guide was quite interesting. When he asked her to go shopping, she couldn't help but let go and even bought herself a belt.
