"Mr. Suleman, please come with me, we are going to meet the person in charge of this security work."
After Chris got off the car, he took the initiative to lead the way. As for the driver of the Lionheart Chamber of Commerce, he drove away in a carriage. In the area near the Hall of Hope, ordinary people are forbidden to park carriages. Even the Lionheart Chamber of Commerce does not have this right. .
Because of this, after Suleman got off the car, he also saw a lot of carriages driving away. They were also dressed up for convenience. They were wearing black and gray long dresses, outer coats with detachable shawls, and wearing Young and middle-aged people with bowler hats got out of the car and came. Most of them were men, but there were also heroic women. Many of them were seen wearing canes and dressed like men.
"They are employees of other chambers of commerce, or simply elites hired by ancient nobles from other channels. Hehe, they are definitely not comparable to you, at most they are at the level of ordinary people." Chrisf saw He was interested and took the initiative to explain.
The two went up the steps. At the entrance of the Hall of Hope, Chris showed his invitation letter and certificate to the police officers who were waiting in line. After careful checking by both parties, they were allowed to enter.
The interior of the Hall of Hope is very spacious, like a magnificent palace.
The two walked in the spacious corridor. Suleman recalled the previous scene and couldn't help sighing: "The scene is really grand."
"Yes, one week before the official start of the Northern Auction, the entire Hope Hall was no longer rented out. Everyone focused on security work, and some people in positions even had to remember our faces." Chris also said the same Sighing, after a while, Suleman, led by him, came to the second floor of the Hall of Hope, in front of a closed brown wooden door.
Pushing open the wooden door, the interior is a European-style study-like space with a desk and floor-to-ceiling windows.
There was a person standing in front of the window. It was a silver-haired old man with mottled hair. There were several people standing beside him. At this moment, Suleman discovered that the other party was wearing clothes similar to that of a deacon. From the looks of it, this old man should be playing the role of a housekeeper in a nobleman's home.
"Butler Sean, good morning. Good morning."
Chris took the initiative to step forward and introduced Suleman as his client to the butler called 'Sean'. However, some of the silver-haired butlers, Xiao En, reacted very indifferently, with a hint of dissatisfaction. Chris was confused.
"Is there only one person?" Butler Sean frowned.
However, before Chris could open his mouth and introduce Suleman's true strength, Butler Sean lost interest, waved his hand, and told him to wait beside him—that's how those restless people came. reason.
puff!
Seeing this scene, there was a middle-aged man in the crowd who was about the same age as Chris, but was even thinner and looked like a bamboo pole. Sheng and Suleman explained—
"That's another branch of the Lionheart Chamber of Commerce, Frank Burt, the grandson of Elder Burt."
"They and my faction have never been able to deal with each other very well."
"This time, I was caught by them, and I was arranged to make amends, but they also shared some tasks. On the surface, it is obviously impossible for the two parties to cooperate sincerely, and I have no delusions."
While speaking, Suleman's attention spread to the other side, and found that someone on the other side was also whispering. Relying on the extraordinary's keen hearing and physical advantages, he heard the general content—
"It seems that Butler Sean is angry, and his tone is not very friendly."
"No way, who made the bounty guild so unlucky, the only remaining silver hunter in the city has not accepted the invitation of Butler Xiao En so far. It seems that she is not going to intervene."
"Without a true extraordinary person, our defensive pressure will be much greater. Hey, butler Sean is also under pressure."
While they were whispering, suddenly, there was a clear sound of footsteps outside the door, with a sound like a heavy metal object falling to the ground.
Hearing this voice, Butler Sean's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly looked towards the door.
He even couldn't wait, and took the initiative to open the door. The next moment, a heroic lady wearing sterling silver armor, not very good-looking, but with a bit of sharp sense, came slowly from the end of the corridor with two companions.
"Great! Ms. Scarci, you finally changed your mind"
Butler Xiao En showed joy, and was about to go forward to greet them, but saw Scarlett at the front waved her hand, and said calmly, "Sorry, we just came to inform you about the entrustment of the 'Northern Auction'." , we are not ready to accept it, of course, you can invite other bounty hunters, even if they are gray iron level, there are still very powerful people."
"How is it possible!" Butler Xiao En interrupted the other party, with a look of anxiety on his old face: "Those gray iron hunters, how could it be possible to compare with you, Ms. Scarci, think again, the reward can be negotiated Yes, the two major churches in Gangdian City, the Jixue Church never cared about secular affairs, and believed in the [Natural Shelter] of the Goddess of Hunting, that is, the Natural Church.
They are the main members of the Pilgrims, and they are also hunting down those absconded elements, and they are also unable to get out."
Butler Sean hadn't finished speaking when suddenly, Katie, who was standing behind Scarci, saw a familiar figure in the room through the sharp eyes of the two of them. Suddenly, she became excited and squeezed directly from the door—
"Mr. Suleman, so you are here too!"
Suleman looked up in surprise, and found that Scarci and her two teammates, Katie and Lake, were outside the door. When the latter saw him, he still held up his golden cane and greeted Suleman. , there is no shelf at all.
Suddenly, Katie rushed into the room, alive and well, unlike the wounded with bandages on their shoulders.
Seeing this situation, the others couldn't help being taken aback. At this time, Scarlett also came in and took the initiative to talk to Suleman, but the housekeeper Sean was left aside for a while, with a dazed expression on his old face, a little at a loss.
"So you accepted the commission."
When Katie heard the reason, she turned her head to look at Scarci, her beautiful and delicate face was full of pleading.
Facing the request from her teammates, Scarci shook her head helplessly, and patted her on the head a little dotingly—
"Okay, then I agree to this commission, but your body."
"It's okay, it's just a small injury."
Katie said excitedly, unaware that she was the one who got hurt.
When the butler Xiao En heard this, he was excited and had a complicated expression, with a hint of annoyance and regret.
The next moment, he put aside these negative emotions, but tried hard to think about how to make up for the relationship between the two parties, so that Mr. Suleman's perception of him could at least change a little bit.
