"Oh, even if you are a lady, you still need gold marks to live a fine life.

Look at the little skirt you are wearing, the bow tie, the pendants, these gorgeous clothes and beautiful decorations, which ones don’t use gold marks.”

Mrs. Michelle said seriously,

“Only money warms my heart.”

"But Ketchev is not eating and drinking for free in our house. He has paid for his accommodation.

Every time I went out to buy groceries, Ketchev would accompany me and help me carry the heavy basket.

Besides, Kercherov is going to take me to the Munich Music Festival next."

The kindhearted Effie, with her hands on her hips, defended the cash-strapped Ketchlov.

"The Munich Music Festival."

Mrs. Michel repeated in a low voice, and then sighed.

"Go ahead, and be safe."

Mrs. Michelle said meaningfully, then sighed.

A few days ago, after Mrs. Michelle finished her work in the pharmacy, she had nothing to do and did another divination for Effie's unfinished experience, but the result of the divination was still simple and confusing.

Although Mrs. Michelle acted indifferent, she was becoming more and more worried.

Ever since Effie fainted in the concert hall last time, Mrs. Michelle became suspicious of the Munich Concert Hall.

She had walked around the perimeter of the concert hall. With the witch's unique and sensitive perception, she felt the evil aura hidden in the concert hall. However, as a grand event in the Muni black market, there was no reason to stop Effie from going. Mrs. Michelle even suspected that the concert hall was the place where Effie had to go through the disaster.

Apart from telling Effie to be safe, Mrs. Michelle didn't know what else she could do to help Effie.

Ketchlov sensed Mrs. Michel's concern, so he took the initiative to speak up and said,

"Please rest assured, Mrs. Michelle, I will take care of Effie."

Mrs. Michelle rolled her eyes after hearing this.

"You're lucky you can handle your own problems."

"Mr. Hermann, you have a visitor."

Butler Baird pushed open the door of Hermann's study and spoke to Hermann respectfully.

"Huh? Who would come to visit so early? It's only seven in the morning."

Hermann looked at the time on his pocket watch and replied in surprise.

"The one who claims to be your old acquaintance. Mr. Elphis from the city of Umr."

Baird lowered his head and replied.

"Oh my God, Mr. Elphis actually came to Mooney Black Market. Mr. Baird, please invite him to the banquet hall and serve him the best black tea and snacks.

Oh, please prepare my best suit for me, and tell Kirk to change his clothes as well.

Ha ha ha ha!"

Herman spoke loudly to Baird.

From his dancing movements and expression, it can be seen that Hermann is in a very good mood.

"Yes, sir." Baird responded.

"Oh, I must introduce Mr. Elphis to Brother Eugene."

Hermann thought.

So Hermann knocked on Eugene's study door, pushed the door open, and said excitedly to Eugene who was reading a newspaper,

"Brother, do you remember Mr. Elphis whom I mentioned to you? He is here to visit us. I asked Baird to invite him to the banquet room first. I will go change my clothes now. You should hurry up too."

After saying this, Hermann went back to his room to change his clothes.

Veronica, who was standing behind Eugene, bowed to Eugene and said, "Mr. Eugene, I will prepare your suit now."

"Well, thank you for your help, Veronica." Eugene put down the newspaper in his hand and stretched.

Veronica left the room with some thoughts in mind.

"Elphis? There's no record of such a person. Maybe we should pay more attention to him."

Veronica has been in office for several days, and her thoughtful service has made Eugene very satisfied.

Regarding Baird's previous test, Veronica was very grateful to learn that there was indeed a person named Mrs. Sharon in the Prussian Royal Vocational and Technical College, and she nodded at that time.

If it was a non-existent fictional character, Baird would have realized that there was something wrong with his identity.

During the few days that Veronica took office, she also received a notice from Fabia, but she also received an additional notice from Jobtran, asking her to continue to stay on standby at the Einstar family.

Fetched Eugene's suit and helped him put it on.

Eugene was anxious to go downstairs to the banquet room to meet this Elphis that Hermann always talked about, but Veronica said,

"Mr. Eugene, please wait a moment."

Eugene frowned, "What else?"

"I have prepared a bottle of perfume for Mr. Eugene. Please wait a moment, sir."

Veronica took out a bottle of perfume in frosted glass from the side.

After spraying some evenly on Eugene's wrists and behind his ears, Veronica introduced,

"Unlike regular industrial perfumes, homemade ones will have a shorter shelf life, but the scent will be more special."

Eugene raised his right hand and smelled it, then said in surprise,

"Oh, this smells much better than my old-school cologne. Fresh, floral."

Veronica nodded.

“This is a little surprise Veronica prepared for you, sir. I hope you like it.

The top notes are black tea, neroli and bergamot, the middle note is cardamom, and the base notes are more mature musk and amber.

I named this perfume Night Color."

"Well, very good. I almost blamed you. I'll send a bottle to Hermann later."

Eugene sniffed the night scent carefully and said with satisfaction.

Veronica then followed Eugene into the banquet room.

The ingredients of this bottle of Night Color are all extracts of some ordinary fruits and flower petals, but the only ingredient worth mentioning is holy water.

To ordinary people, the smell of this bottle of night is sweet and elegant, but to some evil beings, it is a pungent smell.

This was a test by Veronica on the unknown Elphis.

Eugene arrived at the door of the banquet hall before Herman, and waited until Herman arrived with his wife Kirk before he opened the door.

Elphis, wearing a gentleman's hat, was smoking a pipe in the banquet room. His calm demeanor showed his indifference.

Hermann opened the door and saw Alphis sitting alone. He stepped forward and opened his arms.

"Oh, look who's here! My good friend Elphis!"

Elphis put the pipe in his hand down on the table, stepped forward and gave Hermann a big hug.

"I'm really sorry for coming here without notifying you, but I couldn't help wanting to meet you. Please forgive me."

After the hug, Elphis took off his hat and placed it on his chest to apologize.
