I thought she would say disdainfully that she didn't like childish people who had no abilities, implying that she looked down on ordinary people. Who knew that she wouldn't even bother to answer this question... Oh, this kind of mentality with a strong sense of superiority can easily lead to loss of control when promoted later... Klein couldn't help but complain in his heart.

In his understanding, Beyonders were just humans with extra abilities, which was equivalent to being very rich and powerful. In essence, they still had human attributes and could not be separated from society. They had to reach Sequence 4 before a qualitative change could occur.

Moreover, most demigods are also active in human society. Even Sequence 1 "Snake of Fate" Will Auceptin is doing his best as an unborn fetus... Perhaps only when we reach the stage of "blasphemer" Amon and others can we truly look at the real world with the eyes of a "god"... Klein's thoughts turned, and he took the initiative to speak:

"I'm sorry, I used to be a businessman who traveled frequently between the northern and southern continents, and I don't have much experience in balls. Haha, I mean this kind of ball."

"It's okay," Hazel responded calmly, seemingly not caring at all whether the other party brought up the previous topic.

If it were someone else, they wouldn't know how to chat with this arrogant girl and could only focus on dancing. However, Klein was now well-informed and experienced, and had enough knowledge about the mysterious world and the different Beyonders. Following up on his apology, he smiled and said:

"For me, this is no easier challenge than the sea. It has beautiful scenery but also contains countless difficulties. Of course, there are all kinds of stories about treasures on the sea, some of which are obviously false, and some sound like they are real but cannot be verified, like the number one 'Key of Death'."

"The key of death?" Hazel raised her head and looked at Mr. Dwayne Dantès, who was much taller than her.

As expected, this kind of Beyonder with a strong sense of superiority is always interested in mysterious things... Klein laughed secretly and nodded slightly:

"Yes, it is said to be in a secret place in the Raging Sea..."

He recounted the treasure legends he had heard on the White Agate one by one, with some modifications, and added more details he had heard during his subsequent adventures.

In the process, he inevitably mentioned the "Four Kings" and the seven pirate generals.

Hazel was obviously interested in this. She rarely responded to Klein and even asked questions occasionally. This made the dance between the two no longer awkward and it came to an end before they knew it.

Klein skillfully ended the previous topic and asked:

"Are you going back to where you were, or are you going over there to get some food?"

After a dance, the man must follow the woman's wishes and take her to where she wants to go, not necessarily where she is originally.

Hazel opened her mouth, as if she wanted to ask something, but in the end she didn't say anything, and nodded reservedly:

“The place just now.”

Hehe, she was obviously reluctant to part with the story at sea... She's just a big naughty kid. As long as you understand her temper and interests, she's actually not that difficult to get along with... Klein suppressed his smile and sent Hazel back to the edge of the dance floor, where she was originally standing.

As for himself, of course he pretended to be casual and walked towards the long tables where various foods were placed, picked up a plate, picked up a portion of seared dragon bone fish for himself, and paired it with sliced ​​veal steak with black pepper sauce.

Compared to dancing and socializing, delicious food is the essence of a party... Klein thought as he tried to make his eating movements appear elegant.

At this moment, he saw Lady Mary coming over and forking a piece of red wine foie gras onto the plate.

Klein saw the other party glance at him, so he smiled politely and nodded in response.

"I don't know what to call you. I haven't seen you at the banquet or dance hosted by Senator Macht before." Perhaps because she saw Dwayne Dantès with gray hair on his temples, deep blue eyes, very charming, high cheekbones and average looks, Lady Mary took the initiative to ask.

Klein smiled and said:

"I'm Dwayne Dantes, a businessman who just came from Desire Bay. I live in this neighborhood.

"Madam, may I have the honor of knowing your name?"

Mary nodded thoughtfully and roughly understood that this was a businessman who was trying hard to squeeze into the upper class, just like herself in the past.

She smiled and said:

"Mary Short, director of Coim Corporation."

She did not mention that she was the largest shareholder of Coim Corporation, nor did she say that she was currently a member of the Air Pollution Investigation Committee. This was a Looney-style implicit statement.

Mary Short, is this returning to her father's surname? Yes, she is divorced... Klein muttered silently and said with a smile:

"I know this company. It specializes in anthracite and high-quality charcoal. It has expanded rapidly in recent months. Haha, to be honest, I intend to invest in it, but it seems that I cannot compete with others."

After the introduction of the air pollution-related bill, the demand for anthracite and high-quality charcoal increased greatly, and Coim Company achieved development beyond its previous years of efforts, and its overall value was said to have exceeded 250,000 gold pounds. Klein's intention to invest was not just nonsense, but he really felt that this industry would become more important in the years to come until humans discovered alternative energy.

Mary has always been proud of the fact that she pushed forward the release of the atmospheric pollution investigation report and helped Coim to achieve rapid development. She couldn’t hide her smile when she heard this and said:

"This is because people are paying more and more attention to the environment in which they live."

Having said this, she sighed slightly and said:

"As things get better, there are more and more troubles."

Since they had just met, Klein did not ask what the trouble was. Relying on his previous acquaintance with Madam Mary, he easily found a topic that interested the other party, allowing the two to have a very pleasant chat.

Haha, her attitude towards Sherlock Moriarty and Dwayne Dantès is very different... The familiar people changed their faces and identities, and when they stood in front of her, they were treated completely differently without any problems. This feeling was really wonderful... As they chatted, Klein sighed, and felt that the extra "Faceless Man" potion he had taken was being digested quickly.

A few minutes later, a handsome man with brilliant blond hair came over with a glass of red wine and said to Madam Mary with a smile:

"Mary, what are you talking about?"

"Hibbert, this is Mr. Dawn Dantes from Desire. His experience at sea in West Balam is really interesting." Mary immediately introduced the two. "Dawn, this is Mr. Hibbert Hall, the eldest son of the Earl of Eastchester. Haha, we should address him as Lord, but he prefers us to address him as Mr. Chief Secretary, Chief Secretary of the Air Pollution Investigation Committee."

I heard you say that, of course, it was when he was active as Sherlock Moriarty... Earl of Eastchester, he is a great noble, the real top of society... Klein saluted respectfully but not humbly:

"Please allow me, as an ordinary person, to express my gratitude for the work of the Air Pollution Investigation Committee, which has given us a better living environment."

Hibbert Hall was quite pleased by the sincere thanks and responded with a smile:

“This is an effort from all of us.”

Mary laughed and said:

"Dawn, don't mention this again. It will make Hibbert proud. No, I was just joking. He is more humble than any noble son I know. He should be on vacation at the family's territory in East Chester County, hunting with a group of friends. But after I sent a telegram to Congressman Macht inviting us to the ball this week, he came back immediately."

"It's not just for the ball. There are many things I need to take care of. My father, Earl Hall, will also frequently travel between Backlund and the family territory before June." Hibbert explained seriously.

A gentleman who attaches great importance to his social image... Klein made a preliminary judgment in his mind.

Mary heard this and asked casually:

"What else do you want? When are you leaving Backlund?"

"Everything else has been taken care of, except for the last one. Haha, my sister Audrey is very interested in 10% of Backlund Bicycle Company's shares. She has hired a professional team to help her negotiate. I am responsible for coordinating this matter." Hibbert said nonchalantly.

10% of Backlund Bicycle Company's shares? What a coincidence... I have to say, the upper class circle is not very large... Klein sighed secretly and deliberately mentioned:

"I also found a team to buy that 10% stake and offered 9,000 pounds. Unfortunately, I couldn't compete with others, so I had to give up."

Hibbert looked at him with a little surprise:

"You have good taste."

He did not mention the specific amount of his offer, so as to avoid the other party from participating in the competition again.

9,000 pounds... Mary muttered to herself, feeling that she had underestimated Dwayne Dantès's financial resources.

At this time, the melody of the third dance sounded, and Hibbert Hall turned to Mary and said:

"May I have the honor of asking you for a dance?"

"I've been waiting for your invitation." Mary immediately extended her hand.

This prevented Klein from exchanging business cards with them directly. However, he was not in a hurry because the dance was still a long way off.

After getting another plate of food, he enjoyed it while looking at the dance floor and admiring the dancing of the ladies.

During this process, he found that Senator Macht and Lady Liana were interacting with different guests, chatting happily with everyone, and even dancing a few times.

"According to Walter, after confirming the guest list, the host must carefully summarize the preferences and experiences of each guest, and design different conversations or jokes accordingly, so that everyone feels like they are being treated individually... Interpersonal communication in the upper class is really troublesome... Haha, this may be the reason why the hairlines of Loen gentlemen are generally high..." Klein sighed and complained in his heart.

He looked away, looking at the empty plate, and seriously considered whether to ask a young lady or woman to dance or to eat more.

At this moment, he caught a glimpse of Hazel Macht from the corner of his eye. The girl was heading to the third floor in a hurried pace.
