Chapter 164 Kapin's Dinner

After putting away the dark red round-bellied pen, Klein picked up the paper on which the divination statement was written, and leaned back against the back of the chair.

With his lips moving, he whispered "Cappin's dinner time today," over and over again.

These words swayed layer upon layer above the silent and empty gray mist, and Klein's eyes quickly deepened, and his eyelids slowly drooped.

In the fragmented dream, he saw the spacious and elegant restaurant, the ceramic tableware inlaid with gold, caviar, grilled chicken, stewed lamb, fried beef eye, fried keel fish, creamy soup and other food.

These foods were placed in front of several diners in a certain order and according to certain needs, including the slightly fat Kapin, the middle-aged gentleman Hellas wearing a white hood, Katie wearing only a thin shirt, The old-fashioned Parker has no deterrent effect.

Looking out obliquely from the end of the dining table, one can find a gorgeously decorated glass window, the clouds outside the window are sparse, and the red moon is faintly visible in the mid-air.

Klein opened his eyes, marked the position of the moon in the dream, and then quickly calculated the corresponding approximate time based on the common sense of astrology.

"It looks like 7:30 to 45... Considering that in several pictures, Capping and others have already eaten halfway through the meal, we can adjust it forward by another 15 minutes. In this way, 7:30 is a better choice..." Ke Ryan talked to himself silently, interpreting the enlightenment given by "Dream Divination".

It is not too uncommon to have dinner at 7:30. This is even the mainstream in the Loen Kingdom and even the Northern Continent. Because many middle-class people live in the suburbs due to environmental issues or because of the cheap rent, they have to take short trips every day. The steam train commutes to work in the city, and when they return home, it is often after 7 o'clock in the evening, so 7:30 to 8 o'clock is the normal dinner time.

Klein also had this kind of experience when he was in Tingen City, but it was because there were no servants and no full-time wife. When the three brothers and sisters returned home, they had to be busy for a while before they could enjoy hot food. It wasn't because of the long distance from work.

That is why the common people and the poor often have their dinner between 7:30 and 8 o'clock.

And because lunch and dinner are too far apart, afternoon tea, which belongs to the upper class, has gradually become popular among the middle class and ordinary people.

After reading it, Klein recalled the enlightenment he had just received, and keenly noticed a problem:

Where is Capin's wife and children?

They didn't show up in the dining room... Could it be that Capin was such an extreme believer in the Stormlord that women and children had to eat in the living room? Or,

Is there another reason? Or, Capin is not married and has no children? He is already middle-aged... Klein tried divination, but failed to obtain effective revelation, so he had to give up.

"7:30." He repeated the time and returned to the real world immediately.

…………

In the evening, Capin, who wore a formal bow tie even at home, squinted his eyes, looked at the subordinate in front of him, and asked in a slow but chilling voice:

"Fabian is dead?"

"Yes, boss." Even though he was Kapin's accomplice for many years, that subordinate was a little afraid and panicked.

"Odys, my name is sir, sir, in a few years, I will be called Sir." Capin pulled his bow tie, and seemed to be handling the thick cigar leisurely, "When did Fabian die? How did he die?"

"This afternoon, I asked him to go to the East District to do something. As a result, he clashed with members of the Zmanger Party and was stabbed in the neck..." Odess described tremblingly.

Kapin was smoking a cigar, and said in a calm tone:

"Fabian is such an idiot.

"But wouldn't the people in the Zmanger party know that he was one of my idiots?"

"Sir, as you know, people from the highlands often come to the East District to join the Zmanger Party. They are barbaric and reckless, and they don't care who is who at all." Odes quickly explained a few words.

Capin snorted:

"They forget it's not a plateau? Or, forget me Cappin?

"Odes, I want the body of the leader of the Zmang Party in that block, can you do it? If not, I will sink your wife, child, and you into the Tussock River."

"Sir, there is no problem!" Aldes immediately turned up the volume.

Immediately, he asked in a low voice:

"Who can I call?"

Just as Capin was about to answer, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a middle-aged gentleman wearing a white hair hood, Heras, walked in.

He glanced at Alders indifferently, and moved his gaze to Capin:

"I heard that some of your men clashed with gangsters in the East End and died?"

"Yes, Mr. Herras." Capin stood up, holding a cigar.

Heras stared at Capin's eyes and said:

"You want revenge on them?"

A drop of sweat suddenly appeared on Kapin's forehead:

"No, no, Mr. Heras, you are mistaken."

Heras nodded slightly and said: "You must remember that we are in a critical period, unless necessary, try not to cause trouble."

He paused for a second, observed Capin's reaction and said:

"You are not the only human trafficker in Backlund, we can support you or others, you have to remember this.

"I picked you at the beginning because you were vicious enough, shameless but extremely cautious, not because you were already the biggest human trafficker."

Aldes was listening to the conversation between the two, wishing that he was just a piece of air, so that he could not see the humble appearance of Boss Capin.

Kapin didn't show any sullenness on the surface, and said with a smile:

"Mr. Heras, my main concern is that Fabian's death is not simple, and it may disrupt your plans."

"No, there is nothing wrong with his death." Heras said in a firm tone, "I didn't get any feedback."

"That's it..." Capin pretended to be relieved, "Then I can rest assured."

He glanced at Odes, motioned him to go out, then lowered his voice and said:

"Mr. Heras, this time the goods contain the type you like."

Seeing that Heras's expression was loose but he didn't say anything, Kapin hurriedly added:

"The ones sent over there have been collected."

Heras nodded slowly:

"Let her come to my room at night."

"Yes, Mr. Heras!" Capin said with a smile on his face.

After watching Heras leave, his face suddenly became gloomy, took a breath, and whispered:

"I hope you guys can keep your promise this time... I don't want to get involved in something like this again!"

He clearly remembered that year's Harvest Festival, when someone approached him, hoping to buy a group of innocent girls.

From that day on, the trajectory of his life changed drastically, and he even ate one-fifth of the slave trade that was prohibited by law and went underground.

He quickly became a relatively well-known rich man in Backlund, got acquainted with many big men, and dragged them into the abyss of depravity.

At this point, he desperately wants to cover up the past sins, and wants "Kapin" to be baptized again and become a real high-society person. However, he cannot do so for the time being.

Glancing at the cigar in his hand, Capin picked up the framed photo on the table, which contained a photo of him with a beautiful woman and two children.

Rubbing the surface of the photo frame with his thumb, Kapin narrowed his eyes and whispered to himself:

"After this time, you should be able to come back..."

At dinner time, Capin walked out of the study with a warm smile on his face again.

"Ms. Katie, tonight I have your favorite caviar and roasted chicken specially prepared for you." He said to the lady in the thin shirt.

Katie touched the old scar on her face, but nodded slightly without saying a word.

Capin knew that she had a silent and fierce personality, so he didn't make any fuss, and watched her sit in the seat that belonged to her.

Immediately afterwards, Heras, wearing a white hairdress, entered the restaurant and nodded slightly to every diner.

The old-fashioned Parker took a sip of the pre-dinner wine, smiled and beckoned Kapin to sit down quickly.

The white napkin was spread out, and the food was served one by one. Kapin picked up the wine glass and said with a chuckle:

"Storm above, let's toast to a bright future."

"Cheers to the bright future," Parker echoed.

Heras didn't speak, just pinched the stem of the wine glass and lifted it slightly, while Katie completely ignored them.

At this time, the classical wall clock hanging in the hall had just reached 7:23.

…………

Backlund Bridge area, inside a cheap hotel.

Klein, who had made a disguise, took out his gold-cased pocket watch, checked the exact time, then took out the holy night powder, and sealed the room with a spiritual wall.

After finishing all this, he quickly set up the altar and held the ceremony:

"I!"

"I call in my name:"

"The fool who does not belong to this era, the mysterious master above the gray mist, the king of yellow and black who is in charge of good luck."

...

After the ceremony was completed, Klein immediately took four steps backwards and entered above the gray mist, preparing to respond to himself.

In that towering and solemn palace, he saw the "Gate of Summoning" condensed by rippling light patterns. It was an illusory door full of mysterious symbols that opened opposite.

Klein was not in a hurry to be summoned, but according to the predetermined plan, incorporated the "sun brooch" and other magical items into his spirit body.

Finally, he picked up the "Dark Emperor" card and let the spirit body wrap it.

All of a sudden, Klein felt that his spiritual body was as solid as flesh and blood, as if he could pick up a pistol and move tables and chairs!

A dark and illusory mist filled his surroundings, and this mist stuck to the surface, forming a majestic armor.

There is a dark crown on his head, and a long cape of the same color behind him.

At this moment, Klein is like an emperor who is about to embark on a journey.

Black Emperor.

He checked the purification bullets, revolver and other items that he didn't bring with him one last time, and stepped into the crack of the illusory door.

After jumping out of the candlelight, he immediately flew quickly to Capin Villa on Iris Street in Jorwood District under the cover of night.

Not long after, he floated in front of the artificial fountain, approaching the entrance of the villa at a moderate speed, the guards patrolling back and forth passed by him, but there was no reaction, and since it had not yet entered the real night, there was no The Extraordinary is on guard outside.

In addition, Klein is not afraid that the powerful Extraordinary inside will detect it in advance and have a premonition.

Because the "Black Emperor" card is anti-prophecy and anti-divination!
