Chapter 190
This is a huge banquet.
As the organizer and inviter of this banquet, Green sat in a corner with a glass of wine, enjoying the joyous atmosphere and watching the crowd singing and dancing.
As expected, the person he was looking for was among the guests attending the banquet today, but he was not sure who that person was for the time being.
He took a sip of the specially prepared Coke from his goblet.
Some colas look similar in color to some wines.
No one would go out of their way to smell what was in his glass, so he was not worried about being exposed.
In fact, even if someone knew that what was in his glass was not wine but Coke, they would pretend not to know because of his being the organizer.
A young man suddenly came over with a glass of red wine in his hand, and the wine even had some sweetness that floated out of the glass.
Green could smell it even when he was sitting on the sofa.
"Hello, I am the guest who was allowed to enter here today."
"Hello."
"I heard that there have been parties here for a month, is that true?"
"If you live nearby, you will know that this is true."
"I'm sorry, I just came here recently, so I didn't live here before and didn't know anything about this place before, but I'm glad you can answer my questions."
"Then do you have anything else to ask?"
"It looks like this is not your first time here."
"I am the owner of this place."
"Are you the famous anonymous earl?"
"If there is only one owner here, then I am sure it is."
"But I heard that the owner here is nearly 60, weak, with white hair, wrinkles on his face, loose skin, spots on his body, and a smell."
"Don't I look like one?"
"You look too young. You look about 30, and if you wear makeup, you'd probably be only 40 without it. I can't imagine that you're 58."
"No matter how you imagine it, that's the fact,"
said Green.
"I would like to introduce myself to you. My name is Abel."
"It sounds strange."
"I think so too."
"Who gave you this name?"
"I don't know. It is said that it was your parents, but I have never seen them since I can remember."
"Then how did you grow up?"
"Wandering around and rummaging through garbage cans. Occasionally I would stay in an orphanage or some shelter for homeless people. But I don't want to be controlled by them and would run away."
"You mean you lived there for two days and then ran away. If you want to go back again, right?"
"Yes, you understand very well, you are absolutely right. I don't like being controlled by others, and I don't like being locked in a square box, just like being dead."
"Then do you have your own place now?"
"To be honest, I have a place to live, otherwise I don't think I can get in."
"I don't remember setting such a requirement at the door."
Green said with a smile.
"It may be that people outside spread rumors. When I was outside, I heard someone say that if you don't have a fixed residence, you can't come in to attend the party, so I rented a house on purpose."
Abel said with a smile.
"So before you came, did you really want to see the situation inside?"
Green asked.
"Yes, people outside almost say this place is the Garden of Eden. If there is such a good place in the world, and I know it and it is so close but I haven't been here, it would be a pity."
Abel said with a smile.
"Would you like to stay at my place for two days?"
Green asked.
"Of course, I would like to. This place is much better than the house I rented."
Abel nodded and said happily, unable to wait.
"The party here will take some time to end. Have you eaten? If you haven't had dinner, just have a taste here. There's still time for you to take me to your place later."
Green stood up and said to him.
Abel nodded happily.
He ate some lemon cake, drank some orange juice, and had a plate of fried chicken, which was specially paired with cold beer and tomato salad dressing. It looked delicious.
Abel seemed very satisfied. He wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, smiled and said to Green that they could go out now.
Green nodded.
Abel walked in front, and Green followed behind him. They walked all the way to the opposite side, turned a corner, and walked into a community. The gate of this community was made of white wooden fences.
The outermost door is only at chest height and can be opened with a hand. It looks cute and small.
Abel somehow pulled out a bag of halved quail eggs from his pocket.
He opened the package, threw it into the trash can next to him, took out an egg, ate it himself, and took out another one and handed it to Green, asking: "Do you want one too? This is delicious."
Green shook his head, said thank you, and ate it himself. He
didn't look disappointed at all, and seemed to really like quail eggs, especially the halved and peeled ones in the package.
Green felt a little hungry watching him eat.
But it must be an illusion, because Green ate a cream cake for lunch and didn't feel hungry the whole afternoon. He also drank a cup of Coke before going out, so it's impossible for him to be hungry so quickly.
If you want to count the afternoon tea, he also drank a cup of tea, but a cup of very strong tea, which has the same refreshing effect as coffee, and the price is expensive.
After all, he is very rich now.
He doesn't know how much money he has, because he can't count it for a while.
The time to make money has passed, and what he should pay attention to now is Abel's affairs.
So he spent money lavishly, hoping to meet Abel as soon as possible. Now that he has indeed met Abel, he may use more money to make Abel agree to his request.
Therefore, he tried not to look at his money, for fear that after looking at it, he would not be able to spend the money like he is now.
Abel's house is not far from Green's villa, but the size is completely incomparable.
Green's villa is in a huge manor, with a huge iron gate surrounded by thorny roses, and heavily guarded security on both sides. The first thing you see when you walk in is a huge fountain.
Perhaps for the sake of beauty, or perhaps to show off wealth, this fountain also deliberately uses a sculpture of Aquarius.
It was a slender and simple girl, wearing a long skirt commonly seen in rural areas, with long, thick hair tied up behind her head, and a square scarf with patches on it. She
had a long white towel wrapped around her waist, like a belt, which set off her slender waist very well.
The girl was holding a jar in her hand, probably a clay pot, high up, and when she lifted it up, she was very gentle, and the jar was very beautiful. The water poured out of the jar, like a brilliant galaxy.
Walking along this road, there were gardens on both sides, with lush flowers, obviously well taken care of.
People outside said that even if you only work as a gardener here, it is enough for an adult man to take care of his family of five.
From this, we can see how luxurious this place is, exquisite and beautiful, which makes people fascinated.
Going further in is a huge villa, which looks like a castle.
The door in the middle is big enough for five people to walk side by side.
On the left and right are small white houses with red pointed roofs, windows of various shapes, and colorful curtains. When the breeze blows, this area seems to be filled with rich floral fragrance.
After walking in, the floor is as smooth as a mirror, the lights are like shining gold, the tabletop is marble, and there is a silver tray on the table. The aroma of lamb is fragrant, and the sausage is an alluring red.
The intoxicating wine is classified into different categories, including sake, spirits, ordinary beer, and cocktails of different colors mixed with fruit juice. The rich aroma is enough to make drunkards unable to move.
The high roof makes the whole villa look extremely spacious.
When you lie on the ground drunk and look up, you can see hazy carvings, which are complex, mysterious, elegant and full of artistic beauty.
There are all kinds of mirrors and masks hanging on the wall.
The mirrors make the whole living room bigger and allow passers-by to observe their appearance at any time.
The masks make the mysterious and elegant atmosphere here more intriguing.
Climbing up the wide stairs, there is a row of rooms on the second floor.
The lounge, guest room, dressing room...
everything is beautiful and expensive.
There is nothing much to say about Abel's room.
Standing here, you can reach the ceiling, and the floor is blurry. It is not due to neglect, but due to the materials.
If you want to rest, you have to bend over and lie on the floor. Fortunately, the floor is covered with carpet, otherwise it would be too cold to sleep even in summer.
The washing machine and toilet are together, there is a shower hanging on the wall, next to it is a mirror, and under the mirror is a sink.
Across the wall is a crooked range hood, and underneath is a stove, and in the corner next to the stove is a sink.
If there is any advantage, it may be that you can breathe some fresh air with your head facing the window.
Although you can't sit up when lying on the floor because your head will hit the wall, being able to breathe fresh air is the only good thing, as long as your feet are facing the door when you sleep.
It has everything it should have, and it doesn't lack anything.
It's just that the space is small and the shape is strange, which makes people feel a little breathless after staying there for a while.
"How much is the rent here?"
Green asked.
"100 per month, one deposit and three payments."
Abel squatted beside him and answered.
"Then pack your things now and move in with me."
Green took a step back, stepped over the threshold and stood outside. The corridor was even wider than the room. He felt his chest rise and fall more when he breathed.
"I don't have anything to pack. I just moved in not long ago."
Abel said as he pulled out a cup-sized bag from the corner.
"Okay, follow me now."
Green nodded.
