After thinking for a while, Klein, who already had a corresponding plan, sorted out his thoughts and determined the next few things to do.

Pah! He shook the letter with his right hand, and in the rising red flames, he looked up at Renette Tinicole across from him, preparing to take out a Loen gold coin from his pocket to pay for the postage.

However, the messenger lady had already left, and there was no one opposite him.

"Not charging you any more?" Klein was stunned at first, but then he had all kinds of associations. He wondered if Renette Tinicole, who habitually took gold coins from non-contractors, had taken the initiative to ask for the postage.

Maybe the messenger lady didn't say anything, and just stared at Leonard with four heads and eight eyes, waiting for him to pay the gold coins. In the end, this guy couldn't understand it at all, and tried to end the summoning by force, but his neck was broken... Klein hissed and used the gold coin he just took out to do a divination. The result was that Leonard Mitchell was alive and well.

He breathed a sigh of relief, put away the gold coins, and shouted to the outside of the door:

"Richardson."

The door of the half-open room opened back without making any noise, and his personal servant Richardson walked in quickly and asked respectfully:

"Sir, how can I help you?"

"Please ask Mr. Butler to come over." Klein gave the order while feeling sad in his heart. He was really corrupted by his extravagant life. Even if he wanted to find someone at home, he would not move a step and would ask his personal valet to do it.

Well, this is what acting requires... he said to himself silently.

A few minutes later, Walter, wearing white gloves, went up to the third floor, lowered his arms naturally, and stood in front of Dwayne Dantes with a standard posture, waiting for his employer to speak.

Klein had already considered his words and spoke at a moderate pace:

"Go to Congressman Macht's house and tell him that I have prepared the upfront payment.

"Also, prepare the carriage. I will go to the 'Charity Student Aid Fund' in the morning and return at noon.

"If Senator Macht doesn't allow me to set aside time in the afternoon, then you should go to Dr. Allen Kress's home again and tell him that I will pay a visit in the afternoon."

Klein had previously withdrawn 10,000 pounds in cash from the gray fog and put it in a small suitcase, waiting for the right time to complete the preliminary work for the arms deal.

In order to dispel the smell of gray fog on the banknotes, he deliberately "teleported" to the sea and found food for the "creeping hunger" - he was afraid that Amon, who knew the existence of gray fog, would be able to "smell" that specific smell in the same city, or use it to sense the location of the desired treasure.

"Okay, sir." Butler Walter did not ask his employer where he raised the initial funds. In his impression, Dwayne Dantes had hardly been to the bank during this period.

Of course, this was not a problem that people would worry about. Many wealthy people who came to Backlund from other places, especially from Dixie Bay and Jianhai County, would always prepare a large amount of cash in boxes in advance.

…………

No. 22, Pacefield Street, the headquarters of the "Luen Charity Student Aid Fund".

Klein passed through the door, went inside, went up to the second floor, and found the reception room provided for the directors.

——As an honorary director who only occasionally participates in certain affairs, he does not have an office here, but can use the reception room.

He clenched his right fist, put it against his mouth, and deliberately coughed twice, then walked into the reception room and found a sofa to sit down.

After waiting for a while, he stood up again and said to Richardson, the personal servant standing beside him:

"I'm going to the bathroom."

After buttoning up his clothes, Klein walked out of the reception room and happened to see Justice Audrey coming out of her office.

The dress that the noble lady wore today was rather plain, with a white base and dark green embellishments. The cuffs and collar were mainly ruffled, with only layers of lace interlaced to form a bow-tie-style flower on the chest.

She didn't even wear any jewelry, and was wearing a belt that was of unknown quality. Only on her left arm, where the wind blew and the clothes stuck to her skin, there was a slight bulge.

"Good morning, Miss Audrey." Klein made an expression of surprise at meeting the other person by chance.

Audrey glanced at Dwayne Dantès, who had gray hair on his temples and looked good, and replied with a faint smile:

"Good morning, Monsieur Dantès."

She wanted to say "long time no see" in a somewhat light-hearted manner, to tease the other party that he had not come to the charity education fund for a few days since the establishment ceremony, but considering that their superficial relationship was only acquaintance, she forced herself to hold back the corresponding words.

Klein rubbed his forehead, smiled bitterly and shook his head:

“I’m sorry I didn’t come here until today.

"I've been really busy lately. It's foreseeable that I'll be even busier in the future. I may have to go to the Southern Continent to deal with some things."

The reason why he came all the way here and told Miss Justice that he would be leaving Backlund for a while was to show his sincerity, hoping that this noble girl could help look after the foundation and keep it running smoothly. For Klein, he sincerely hoped that this "charity education fund" could help more poor people in need.

"Go to the Southern Continent?" Audrey could tell Dwayne Dantes was sincere and asked in surprise.

Klein smiled and said:

"For a business deal."

At this moment, the first thought that popped into Audrey's mind was: Is another Sequence 5 going to lose his life?

Realizing that Miss Justice seemed to have made some bad associations, Klein added:

"We cooperate with the military and sell some necessities."

What's the point of this? Is Dwayne Dantès's identity used to gather military intelligence? Audrey suddenly realized something, raised her right hand, pointed four times clockwise, and said with a bright smile:

"May the goddess bless you with all the best."

After she finished saying this out of habit, she realized the incongruity. She was actually telling a follower of Mr. Fool that the goddess should protect him!

This is probably closer to a curse...Will Mr. Gehrman Sparrow be angry? No, he is actually a gentle man, and I didn't mean any harm just now...After going to the southern continent and coming back, the person who plays Dwayne Dantès should be another favored one, right? Could it be a demigod? Audrey's thoughts diverged unconsciously.

Klein smiled helplessly and skillfully drew a crimson moon on his chest:

"May the goddess bless us."

Instead of bringing down divine punishment... he added silently in his heart.

Then, he chatted with her as if they had just met by chance on the street:

"Have you been to the school to promote during this period?"

"Yes." When Audrey mentioned this, her face seemed to glow. She was proud and happy that she had finally done something practical.

She nodded slightly, and a look of pity gradually appeared in her green eyes:

"I went to several public primary schools and found that many of the children there were really poor. In order to save money, they brought their own black bread for lunch, along with a glass of water."

Having said this, she looked up at Dwayne Dantès and said a little embarrassedly:

“I knew they would not take me to night school and Sunday school for a while, and would not let me see anything worse.

"But I can imagine, I can imagine, just like those workers who can only live for a few years after entering the factory..."

This was what the "world" Gehrman Sparrow had told her. It was the first time she knew the true situation of Backlund's lower class. However, since she had not seen it with her own eyes, she could only rely on her imagination.

Klein sighed silently:

“It’s probably worse than you think.

“Don’t be in a hurry. Once you have demonstrated your abilities, abilities that are worthy of their trust, you can truly become one of them.”

"Yeah." Audrey nodded, seeming to be thinking about how to perform better.

Klein didn't talk any more. After all, this was only the third time they had met, and they had only exchanged a few words before. If he talked too much at once, it would be easy for people to suspect him.

He pointed in the direction of the bathroom, said sorry, and walked over.

Audrey looked at Dwayne Dantes' back and was silent for a few seconds before whispering:

"What would be worse..."

…………

After receiving a reply from Congressman Macht inviting him to the East Balam Veterans Club in the evening, Klein followed the planned schedule and visited Dr. Allen Kress at 4 p.m.

"Mr. Dantes, your housekeeper didn't tell me what happened to you." Because his wife is about a month away from giving birth, Dr. Allen has turned down a lot of work recently and has been staying at home all the time.

He was quite puzzled by the sudden visit of Dwayne Dantès, a person he was not very familiar with. In addition, he himself was not very sociable, so after the greetings, he asked questions directly.

Klein smiled and said:

"It's like this. I may have to go to the southern continent next. You know, the weather there is hot and humid, and there are all kinds of bugs and diseases. I want to prepare some medicine in advance to prevent unexpected situations. Do you have any suggestions? I'm really ashamed that you are the only excellent doctor I know."

Dr. Allen accepted his explanation, began to think seriously and gave the name of the medicine.

In the end, after writing a full note, Klein made an excuse that he had a stomachache and went into the bathroom on the first floor.

The wash mirror there suddenly became darker, as if it had been completely shrouded in a thick shadow. In the shadow, a black baby carriage slowly approached, with a blurry child wrapped in silver silk lying inside.

"What's going on this time?" Will Auceptin asked in a clear voice.

Klein coughed twice and smiled:

“You should have heard that I’m going to the Southern Continent.

"I don't want to miss your birth, so I want to ask which day you plan to celebrate your birthday?"

Will Auceptin sucked his thumb and said:

"I have no idea."

"Even angels can't control when they are born?" Klein asked in surprise.

Will Auceptin replied hesitantly:

"You don't understand... I have already picked out three birthdays. They all have unique meanings in destiny, but I am not sure yet. I still have a vague idea. Maybe when the time comes, I will suddenly understand what to do."

This is a case of indecisiveness, and it also has a strong aura of a charlatan... Klein clasped his hands together, rubbing them slightly and said:

"Then how can I find out in time and rush back to complete the transaction with you? Uh, that paper crane is no longer usable."

PS: Please give me a monthly ticket on the last day of June~
