Chapter 29: Good People and Good Deeds



What happened? Klein's mind tensed up instantly.

He has experienced too many accidents and is aware that extraordinary events are prone to happen around him. When encountering similar situations, he will inevitably be subconsciously highly alert, and it feels like he has post-traumatic stress disorder.

Watching Hazel Macht's back disappear at the stairs, Klein realized that she was just in a hurry, not panicking.

This seemed to mean that she had the situation under control... Moreover, Macht was a member of the House of Commons, an upper-class person in the kingdom second only to the aristocracy. He was likely to be protected by Beyonders. Well, Earl Hall's eldest son was also here, and his bodyguards must be Beyonders... In addition, Saint Samuel's Church was only a ten-minute carriage ride away from Böklund Street. If there was any problem, the Night Watchmen and the priests and bishops could come at any time... Unless they were determined to die, no one would create an accident at this ball... Klein gradually calmed down and had another guess about Hazel's condition:

She hurried to the third floor to deal with the negative effects of the magical item!

The question Klein asked Arrodes at the beginning was where he could get the magical item that could steal other people's extraordinary abilities, and one of the answers given by the "magic mirror" was Hazel Macht!

Recalling the previous dancing scene, Hazel's image was quickly reconstructed in Klein's mind, with the different accessories on her body as the main focus.

Hair accessories, earrings, necklaces, brooches, tulle gloves... Which one could it be? Klein withdrew his gaze and felt thirsty, so he picked up a glass of water and drank it all.

As soon as he put down the cup, he saw etiquette teacher Vahana Haisen approaching with a tray.

The lady was wearing a red dress, but she didn't look tacky at all. She smiled and said to Dwayne Dantès:

"I noticed you don't really like drinking."

"I've missed something very important because of drinking." Klein casually enriched Dwayne Dantès's image as a man of experience and depth.

Of course, he knew how to restrain himself and did not use the ability of the "Faceless Man" to change a finger to prove how determined he was at the time.

Upon hearing this, Vahana smiled thoughtfully and said:

"Your past is full of mysteries, which has a fatal attraction to many girls."

She did not continue the topic, but said:

"I forgot to tell you that my husband's trouble has been solved."

Klein picked up a glass of champagne, raised it forward, and said with a smile:

"It's a real joy, congratulations."

He didn't mention at all that he had secretly helped.

Wahana looked at him deeply, and also raised the red wine in her hand and said:

"cheers."

After they clinked their glasses and took a sip, Klein politely apologized, put down his cup, and walked towards the bathroom.

It wasn't that he wanted to go above the gray fog. It was simply because of the negative effects of the "Death Knell" revolver and he drank too much water, so he planned to go to the bathroom.

When he walked out of the bathroom, Klein looked up at the staircase leading from the second floor to the third floor and found that Hazel Macht was walking down step by step. Her steps were no longer hurried and her expression was calm.

Sure enough, there was no big problem... It should be the negative effect of the magical item on her... I don’t know what the effect is... Klein breathed a sigh of relief and casually glanced at the dance floor. In the interval between the music changes, he walked towards a lady and invited her to dance.

And with Dwayne Dantès's appearance and temperament, there was no doubt that he was not rejected.

As they danced, ate, and chatted, the party slowly came to an end and the guests left one by one.

The same thing happened to Klein, who had already completed the business card exchange task, but he was neither the first nor the last to leave.

The hall quickly became deserted. Lady Liana supervised the servants in cleaning up while waving for her daughter Hazel Macht to come over.

"Mr. Dwayne Dantes' performance is much better than I expected. Just now, many ladies have asked me about him in private." Lady Liana said implicitly, "Hazel, you danced and chatted with Mr. Dantes just now. What do you think of him? You are more mature than other girls of the same age. I believe in your vision and judgment."

She knew her daughter very well, so she deliberately added the second half of the sentence, otherwise Hazel might not be interested in answering in detail.

When facing her mother, Hazel was not so arrogant. She thought for a moment and said:

"He is not very familiar with this circle and tends to bring up topics that offend people, but he is very knowledgeable."

"Very insightful..." Lady Liana repeated her daughter's words with a little surprise.

Given her understanding of Hazel, this was quite high praise.

She couldn't help but feel a little worried, afraid that her daughter would fall in love with Dwayne Dantès.

Hazel didn't think highly of the eligible gentlemen around her. Was it because they were too young, too shallow, and not capable enough? Dwayne Dantès was exactly the type that precocious girls liked... Liana suddenly regretted inviting that gentleman to the ball.

She knew that with Hazel's personality, if she fell in love and was opposed, she might elope.

Hazel seemed to have sensed her mother's thoughts and said without any emotion:

"I only like men who are strong enough."

Huh... Liana secretly breathed a sigh of relief and no longer worried about the previous problem, because Hazel was a girl who disdained lying.

…………

Late at night, Hazel got up from bed and, with the help of her night vision, changed into clothes that were easy for her to move around in.

She climbed down from the balcony of her bedroom, carefully avoiding the bodyguards at home, sneaked out of the garden, and came to the middle of Böklund Street - not all sewer entrances allow humans to pass freely and have vertical metal stairs.

Hazel skillfully moved the manhole cover away, climbed down, and closed it from the inside.

It was nearly three quarters of an hour before she moved the manhole cover and returned to the shadow of the street.

Just then, Hazel saw a dark shadow nimbly flip into the garden not far away.

"No. 160..." She read out the corresponding house number.

This is Dwayne Dantes' home.

On the third floor of the building, Klein once again woke up from his dream due to spiritual intuition. He wished he could capture the intruder who interrupted his sleep and feed his "creeping hunger."

This time, he directly opened the iron cigarette box and released the "Ghost" secret doll.

Senior's figure in a dark red coat first walked into the full-length mirror, and then jumped onto the convex window of the valet's room.

"He" looked at Richardson and saw the servant turned over and sat up, looking at the door with fear and nervousness.

The door opened silently and a figure flashed in.

Under the crimson moonlight, the intruder revealed a brownish-yellow complexion, soft features, and short black curly hair, and was clearly a Balam from the southern continent.

He stood at the door with a slightly cold aura, looked at Richardson who was looking at him, and said in a deep voice:

“Have you thought about it?

“Don’t think that you can have the peaceful life you want by leaving us. You have the blood of the God of Death flowing in your body, and you are destined to give everything to restore the glory of God.

"Think about your dead mother, think about the bullying you have suffered. Do you want your children to grow up in the eyes of discrimination and be servants of others forever?"

"...But what can I do..." Richardson lowered his head and said with difficulty.

"Wait for the mission to be assigned to you." The intruder's voice softened a little.

Richardson didn't answer whether it was good or bad, and seemed to be struggling in his heart.

The intruder paid no attention to his hesitation. When he agreed, he turned around, exited the room, and left the same way he came.

“Death God’s people… the Spirit Cult, or other members of the Balam Restoration Organization?” Klein, who had witnessed everything just now, leaned back on the bed and muttered to himself, “What tasks will they ask Richardson to do? Steal my money and provide funding to the organization? Or create a terrorist incident at a banquet in an upper-class circle?”

At this time, the intruder had climbed down from the balcony, crossed the garden, climbed over the iron fence on the outer wall, and returned to the street.

Suddenly, he saw a figure rushing towards him from the left. He quickly dodged, clenched his fists, and attacked with all his strength.

Bang!

The fist hit the dark shadow, but it went straight through it, as if it had hit the shadow created by the light of the gas street lamp.

At the same time, he was suddenly hit hard on the back of his head and fell to the ground in a faint.

Hazel's figure immediately appeared behind the intruder, with a slightly excited expression, as if she had completed a successful fraud.

She quickly suppressed her emotions, maintained her proud attitude, and turned her head to look at the black iron gate of 160 Böklund Street.

The girl bent down, grabbed the intruder's arm, and dragged him step by step to the door of Dwayne Dantès.

Then, Hazel loosened her left hand, cleaned up the traces, raised her chin slightly, took two steps forward, and rang the doorbell.

Then, she walked away quickly with her back straight, returning home along the shadows of the street.

On the glass surface of a gas street lamp outside No. 160, wrapped in a black metal fence, a figure wearing a dark red coat and an old tricorn hat was quietly reflected, watching the entire process.

…………

What should I do... Klein thought in embarrassment in the room.

He knew that Hazel was kind enough to help her neighbor deal with the intruder and did not leave her name, but if the housekeeper called the police and the matter was investigated in depth, it would definitely be handed over to the night watchmen. At that time, who knocked out the intruder would be an important issue.

If Klein was really just an ordinary person, then it would be fine and the Nighthawks could investigate him at will. However, he was not only a Sequence 5 warrior, but he was also planning to steal items behind the Chanis Gate. He did not want his progress to be interrupted by an accident and had to change his identity again.

Frankly speaking, his first thought was to find an excuse to fire Richardson.

However, the conversation he just heard made him a little shaken.

If I fire Richardson at this time, he who longs for a peaceful life will be pushed into the abyss by my own hands, and he will have no choice but to get involved with that group of people... Unfortunately, Dwayne Dantès has a "mission" as a character, otherwise it wouldn't be a big deal to help him casually... Klein thought with a sigh.

Ten seconds later, the unconscious intruder at the door suddenly stood up, stretched his neck, and hid in the shadows nearby. At this time, the butler Walter, who heard the doorbell, just put on his clothes and walked out of the main door of the building.
