Chapter 129: Fors's Dream



Hearing the middle-aged man's shout and seeing his distorted expression, Hazel's eyes, which were originally filled with anger and hatred, gradually solidified, melting away a little bit of confusion and bewilderment.

Not only her, but also Senator Macht, Lady Liana, and Dwayne Dantès beside them fell silent. No one spoke for a while. Even Fors, who was hiding behind a cover, lost her excitement and strong sense of justice.

After about ten seconds, Macht stopped looking at the attacker, turned his head, and said to his bodyguard:

"One of you stays here to guard the scene and the prisoner until the police arrive."

Having said this, he paused for a second, then turned to his personal servant and said:

"Notify reporters from several newspapers to come and cover this matter."

After making the initial arrangements, the MP looked around and found that many passers-by were trying to gather to see what was going on. He then looked at Dwayne Dantès and said with an apologetic smile:

"I'm sorry to have put you through such danger. I never thought things would develop to this extent. We actually considered the actual situation of similar factory owners and coal mine owners and provided some help and transition plans. Who knows..."

Formulating a plan is one thing, and implementing it is another. When the control of air pollution becomes extremely urgent and all parties are under great pressure, the emergence of a "one-size-fits-all" approach is not surprising... Klein sighed and laughed at himself:

"Don't take my feelings too seriously. I've been in more dangerous situations than this in the past."

On the surface, he was talking about his experiences while doing business in West Balam in the southern continent, but in reality, he was recalling Megose, who gave birth to the offspring of the evil god, the terrifying meteorite that fell from the sky, Cynthia who wanted to give birth to a child for Admiral Amyrius, and the angels of the Rose School and the monsters of the Spirit Cult that caused the collapse of the mountain outside Bayam City.

Compared to these, what happened just now was just like a drop of drizzle falling from the sky. There was no need to pay attention to it at all. Considering the presence of Xio, Miss Magician's two bodyguards, and Hazel, Klein did not even take action. He just dodged normally as an experienced person.

His focus is on whether this will be followed by a "rainstorm".

Macht sighed and nodded:

“I can see that you are very calm.

“I used to be a little skeptical about the experiences you described, but now I truly believe them.

"Okay, Dawn, let's go back separately. The police will take care of the rest. If it is necessary to take a statement, they will come to your house to complete it."

Klein nodded and said to the Macht family:

"Please pay attention to your safety afterwards."

Senator Macht nodded solemnly and sighed again:

"Backlund's social season has just begun, and this happened... Let's cherish the peace we have now."

The symbol of Backlund's social season is the return of the noble senators of the House of Lords. It seems that it just started last weekend... and two incidents have happened consecutively this week, the frame-up of Baron Syndras and the attack on Senator Macht... With his thoughts running through his mind, Klein did not stop and walked towards his carriage with his valet Richardson, who was obviously a little scared.

Sitting on it, Klein watched the scenery outside the window slowly recede. He exhaled silently and half closed his eyes.

He had no way of judging whether this attack involved extraordinary forces, because every step was something that ordinary people could do and accomplish, and the middle-aged man's reasons were sufficient and did not need to be fabricated. Klein believed that there was more than one former factory owner or unemployed employee in Backlund who had a similar experience.

The only question he had was why the attack targeted Macht?

Although this member of the House of Commons is indeed a supporter and advocate of air pollution control, often makes relevant speeches in parliament and is interviewed by newspapers from time to time, he is by no means the most eye-catching person in the process of introducing the bill. In comparison, members of the "Kingdom Air Pollution Investigation Committee" are more likely to be selected as targets of retaliation.

Klein leaned against the wall and slowly opened his eyes. He saw that it was already dark outside the window, with overlapping clouds and raindrops falling rapidly.

Once again, he felt the whirlpool beneath Backlund's calm surface grow bigger and more violent.

Retracting his thoughts, Klein slightly raised his left palm and touched his pocket.

It contained a letter that seemed to be from Frank Lee and some unknown species of mushrooms.

Klein wanted to return home very much, so he went above the gray fog and used the newly acquired mushrooms to communicate with the Creeping Hunger so that he could use this seal again. As the storm was brewing, he felt that he needed to restore his peak combat capability as soon as possible, and in this regard, the Creeping Hunger was indispensable.

Unfortunately, he is accompanied by two Beyonder bodyguards, so he has to try not to go above the gray fog recently.

I clearly didn't need protection, but I spent several hundred pounds to hire two people to restrict my movements. This is really the helplessness of a rich man... Klein sighed in his heart and picked up the black tea that Richardson had just made.

He took a sip, and his facial muscles tightened a little, then relaxed again.

Klein looked down and found that there were twice as many lemon slices in the black tea as usual.

He glanced at Richardson beside him inconspicuously and saw that the valet looked a little dazed, as if he was still immersed in the shock of the attack.

As timid as ever… Klein commented in his mind and placed the bone china teacup in his hand on the table.

…………

Late at night, at 39 Böklund Street, at Congressman Macht's home.

Hazel sat in front of the dressing table, looking at the gray mouse squatting on the powder box, and said in silence for a long time:

"Did my father do anything wrong? What he promoted was clearly a good thing..."

"Nothing is beneficial to everyone. There will always be people who suffer losses. At times like this, the corresponding laws or plans must be considered, compensated, and helpful. If your father did something in this regard, then the problem is not with him. On the contrary, it shows that he is cold-blooded and cruel." The mouse said perfunctorily.

Hazel thought carefully for a few seconds, her expression relaxed, and she said:

"During dinner, I noticed that there were some very valuable items hidden in a cupboard in the box, but when I found an opportunity to open it later, I found nothing."

The mouse was stunned for a moment, then said after thinking:

"That might be Dwayne Dantes' bodyguard.

"He was recently involved in a suicide case, which is said to involve Baron Sinderas. It is normal to hire some bodyguards to provide secret protection.

"Hmm... the bodyguard in the cupboard might also have supernatural powers and carry magical items, so you sensed it."

Hazel nodded slightly, accepting this explanation, and subconsciously said to herself:

"I wonder what kind of supernatural powers those bodyguards have..."

After saying this, she glanced at the gray mouse in confusion:

"How did you know that Dwayne Dantes was involved in a troublesome case?"

The mouse squeaked and said:

"My current state is perfect for eavesdropping on other people's discussions."

As it spoke, it looked in the direction of 160 Böklund Street and its eyes flickered twice.

…………

Fors, who was sleeping on shift, felt himself floating in an ancient and majestic palace, which was filled with all kinds of extraordinary materials and magical items, and even two blurry tarot cards.

However, she couldn't take any of them away as they were all sealed by an invisible force.

Fors looked around, trying to find a way to break the seal. Finally, she saw a complex symbol engraved on the dome:

This is a symbol that combines "fate" and "anonymity"!

If you find an object with this symbol engraved on it, you can unlock the seal of a treasure... Fors suddenly realized this and woke up suddenly. She found herself curled up on the carpet in the room, covered with a thin silk quilt. She and Xio didn't dare to sleep in the armchair, for fear that Dwayne Dantès, who often sat there, would notice something wrong.

Rubbing his forehead, Fors turned over and sat up, and saw Xio leaning against the wall leading to the master bedroom, listening carefully to the movements around him.

"I feel like there's some secret hidden here. I had a strange dream about exaggerated treasures and complicated symbols." Fors said with a frown as he walked towards Xio.

As an "astrologer", she intuitively felt that there was something wrong with the dream just now!

Seeing that Fors's expression was very serious, Xio suppressed his doubts and said after thinking for a while:

"Maybe there really is a secret. I once heard a proverb in the mysterious world. It goes like this: 'When one extraordinary element is found somewhere, there must be a second one.'"

"It's hard to tell if there's a housekeeper with extraordinary powers. Miss Hazel is the first extraordinary element. There should be a second one near her, or in this neighborhood." Fors nodded slightly and smiled. "But this has nothing to do with us. Tomorrow evening, we will receive our rewards, finish our bodyguard mission, and leave here. The most pitiful one is Dwayne Dantès. He is innocent and ordinary, but he has to deal with troublesome events and extraordinary elements."

Having said that, Fors looked at Xio and joked:

"Quick, say may the goddess bless him.

"I am a believer in steam and machinery. I can't do that."

Xio thought seriously for two seconds, drew a crimson moon on his chest, and whispered devoutly:

"May the goddess bless Mr. Dwayne Dantes."

Fors had completely gotten rid of her sleepiness. She covered her mouth with her hand and yawned.

"I'll walk around the house and inspect it. You can wait for a quarter of an hour before going to bed."

"Okay." Xio's energy was obviously more abundant than Fors'.

Fors immediately turned to the door, reached out and pressed the wall, and arrived at the corridor.

Just as she was about to walk towards the stairs, she suddenly noticed a slight noise coming from the room where Dwayne Dantès's personal valet was sleeping.

Fors's eyes moved slightly, and she moved closer cautiously, opening a "small door" in the wall and leaning her eyes in.

She then saw Richardson doing a slightly crazy, mysterious dance.

"Spiritual dance? Doesn't this male servant believe in the Goddess of Night? Is he secretly worshipping the God of Death?" Fors frowned as he watched Richardson finish the spiritual dance, and then he prayed in a low voice to the God of Death to protect him and keep him away from all kinds of dangers.

When everything was over, Fors shook his head and said silently to himself:

"Poor Monsieur Dantès."
