When the golden dog's peaceful gaze from the shadows came into view, Klein's forehead twitched slightly, and he did not hide the fact that he was a little frightened.

His gaze naturally turned away and looked at Miss Justice's group.

It's really scary... Why is this dog squatting in a corner and hiding in the shadows... It just seemed to be looking at everyone in the hall... Uh, Miss Justice seems to have fed an "audience" potion to the animals, and once asked Mr. Hanged Man for advice... Could it be this golden retriever? Two "audiences", one in the open and one in the dark, which "actor" can withstand it! In the upper class, there should be more "audiences" than just Miss Justice. She joined the Psychological Alchemy Society under the guidance of other nobles. She seems to be the sister of Duchess Negan? While criticizing and analyzing, Klein walked towards the Macht family and asked casually:

"The few people who just came in seem very noble?"

Macht glanced at Dwayne Dantès and laughed:

“The Earl of Eastchester’s family, you can just call him Earl of Hall, you should have heard of him.

"That is his wife, Lady Catelyn, and that is his eldest son, Lord Hibbert, whom you have met..."

After hearing Senator Macht's introduction, Klein suddenly felt ashamed, because he had indeed seen Hibbert Hall at the ball held by the other party, but he had not paid any attention to this lord just now, otherwise he would not have wondered which noble family he was from.

Surprised by Miss Justice’s sudden appearance… Klein kept smiling and listening.

Senator Macht continued:

"That's his daughter, Miss Audrey Hall. In the past two years, she has been known as Backlund's most dazzling gem in the social world. This is very realistic, isn't it?"

Without waiting for Dwayne Dantès's response, he pointed out tactfully:

"Her suitors include princes, duke heirs, and many noble lords and gentlemen."

Congressman Macht's hidden meaning is very clear, that is, you, a guy who has a wide range of interests in women, should not have any ideas about this lady. She is a target you cannot and must not touch.

Klein had another thought in his mind:

"It turns out that Miss Justice is the daughter of Earl Hall. No wonder she is so rich and no wonder she never bargains...

"Earl Hall is one of the kingdom's top bankers, the most influential senator, and one of the hereditary nobles. His wealth is no less than that of Baron Sinderas...

"Even if Miss Justice cannot inherit the title and the family business, the property she gets should be worth at least 100,000 pounds...

"With her looks, background, and personality, she is indeed the best candidate for marriage for the royal family and the nobles...

"However, her continuous purchase of magical items doesn't seem like her assets are only a few hundred thousand pounds... Can this be reimbursed? I want to compete with my father too..."

As his thoughts flashed, Klein responded to Senator Macht's reminder with a smile:

“I’ve heard all kinds of rumors about Miss Audrey before, but today I realized they weren’t that exaggerated.

"It's a pity that I'm not a prince, nor am I the heir to the title of duke, marquis, earl, or viscount. Otherwise, I could also be her suitor."

He was implicitly indicating that he was aware of his identity and status.

Senator Macht did not continue the topic and instead introduced Dwayne Dantès to some of the guests he knew, truly bringing him into the upper class. Of course, the biggest help in this matter was the Church of the Night. Without the charity party they held for the student aid fund, Macht would not have been able to bring Dwayne Dantès directly to those noble people.

Marquis de Losent, Count Gros, Viscount Lavran... each of the goddess' noble followers exchanged a few words with Dwayne Dantès, and their attitudes were all quite warm.

Before Macht finished his introduction, an old man came in through the door.

He was wearing a black and red clergy robe, with five dark holy emblems on his chest. His face was clean and beardless, and his eyes were deep, dark and peaceful.

Including Earl Hall, everyone turned to face the old man and saluted respectfully:

"Good evening, Saint Anthony."

This old man is none other than Saint Anthony Stevenson, one of the thirteen archbishops of the Church of Night!

He is the head of the Backlund Diocese and a true church leader.

As soon as Klein saw the archbishop, his body and mind began to tremble involuntarily. It was difficult to control and conceal. It was as if he had returned to his childhood, walking on a country path with no street lights and occasional graves.

He glanced around and saw that other guests did not have such a strong reaction. He immediately understood that the "fear" brought by Saint Anthony was that the stronger the spirituality, the clearer the feeling. He hurriedly meditated and tried to restrain himself.

When he began to control his trembling, Saint Anthony smiled, looked around, tapped his chest four times clockwise and said:

"Praise the goddess."

"Praise the goddess." The guests attending the charity gala responded one after another.

With the arrival of the Archbishop, Councillor Macht stopped introducing the remaining guests to Crane as the party had officially begun.

As per custom, everyone sat in their seats and prayed devoutly to the goddess for three minutes. Then, the church choir walked to the front of the shrine and praised the goddess with ethereal and orderly songs that seemed to cleanse the soul.

After the religious ceremony, Bishop Elektra was assigned by St. Anthony to come to the side of where the choir had just stood. There was a high wooden platform on which various books could be placed.

"Thank you all for coming. Your character is like the shining stars in the quiet night..." Bishop Elektra said a few polite words first, and then said, "We established a scholarship fund for the poor this time because of the proposal of Mr. Dwayne Dantes. He is a truly noble gentleman. His piety and character are impeccable and can serve as a model. Now, please allow Mr. Dwayne Dantes to give us a brief speech."

Although Klein was prepared, he still hissed quietly when he heard the last half of the sentence.

This is not like usual, there are two or even more "audiences" here, so he can't brag as much as he wants. The content of the speech must be true enough so that it can't be seen that he is lying or using false examples!

Holding the clothes on his abdomen, he stood up quickly and buttoned up his formal suit while walking towards the high wooden platform.

Coming to the back of the high wooden platform and standing firmly on his feet, he looked around at the nobles, parliamentarians, clergy and senior government employees, and spoke with a smile:

“I was a little nervous, as it was the first time I was stared at by so many distinguished people.

"I used to be active in areas where poor people gathered, and in the chaotic southern continent, so I saw a lot of things. There was a little girl who had been helping her mother paste matchboxes since she was 6 years old. If she didn't do this, her family would not even have money to buy black bread after paying the rent. The black bread they ate had a lot of bran, and occasionally you could bite into gravel and stones, which were hard enough to be used as sticks to attack others..."

"When the little girl grew up, although she worked very hard every day and her family had no extra money, she still yearned for the night school held by the church, hoping to learn to read and master knowledge, because she knew that only in this way could she not continue her current life, not be hungry, wear clothes that could really resist the cold, and not work in a factory with poor conditions and die in her twenties...

Klein selected some of the experiences of the poor children he had seen, combined them together, and told them with true feelings.

He could clearly see that the ladies all showed sympathy and compassion to varying degrees, and some girls, such as Audrey Hall, even had a gleam in their eyes.

What a child who is easily moved... My performance comes from my heart, and even I can be moved, let alone the "audience"... However, most of the gentlemen were not very moved. Some of them should have known the plight of the poor, and some were the type who didn't care about those of low status... Klein glanced and continued:

"Our industry is developing, and we will definitely need more literate workers in the future... Our election conditions are being relaxed, and those eligible to vote in the future will definitely include the vast majority of educated people... With compassion for these poor children and expectations for the future of the kingdom, I have decided to donate all of my Coim Company shares to the church and establish a scholarship fund for the poor, so that they can have the opportunity to enter the real palace of knowledge after free night school..."

Count Hall, who had a handsome mustache, nodded and was the first to raise his hands and applaud softly.

Amidst the warm applause, Klein returned to his seat, and Bishop Elektra stepped forward and announced:

"The shares donated by Mr. Dwayne Dantes are worth 15,000 pounds. We will use it to establish a 'Roen Charity Education Fund'. Ladies and gentlemen, if you agree with his ideas and sympathize with those children who are thirsty for knowledge, you can participate in this fund."

As he spoke, he pointed to the donation box next to him.

Audrey then retracted her gaze, pressed her eyes, turned her head and said to her father:

"Dad, I plan to donate 1,000 pounds, what about you?"

As she spoke, she quickly summarized what she had just observed in her mind:

"Dwayne Dantès must have lived a life at the bottom of society. His sympathy, his compassion, and his speech are all very real... Those poor children are really pitiful...

"When the bishop mentioned that the shares were worth 15,000 pounds just now, the corners of his mouth curled up unnaturally. It can be seen that he must be very distressed about the money. However, the sincerity of his donation does not seem to be fake... This can only show that he is a gentleman who loves money but loves kindness even more...

“Why was he so surprised and concealed when he saw me before?

"Where has he seen me before, but he doesn't know my identity? But there's no need to hide this...

"He recognized my necklace as a magical object, was surprised, and then tried to cover it up?

"If this is true, it means he must be a Beyonder, and his sequence cannot be too low...

"Well, let's ask Susie when we get back. Maybe it has observed other details. It hides in the dark and won't be on guard, so it can discover more."

While Audrey was lost in thought, she saw her father, Earl Hall, smiling as he took out his checkbook and pen.

The amount he wrote down was:

10,000 pounds!
