Chapter 46 Transaction
"Reasonable……"
Eveni instinctively felt that something was wrong, but according to the trading rules of the extraordinary world, what Amiste said was correct and reasonable.
"In a while it will be the annoying Autumn Hunting. During the Autumn Hunting, Mr. Lin En can just come and follow me for a day. That's all I ask." The Countess proposed a somewhat unexpected bargaining chip.
From a trading perspective, this makes sense.
It was a small favor for both parties, and something exactly what each other needed.
"Akikari?"
Lin En quickly remembered what the so-called Autumn Hunting day was. It was a celebration festival for nobles to hunt near the autumn harvest, mainly to praise the [Mother Goddess of Fertility]. Since its evolution, Qiuchi has become an important social festival, mainly among the powerful and wealthy businessmen.
It is not difficult to guess that the countess made this request as an excuse to refuse harassment.
Otherwise, during the Autumn Hunting, His Excellency Amiste will definitely be harassed by the suitors and his mentality will explode. With a reasonable excuse, she can kick out some guys who don't understand and feel good about themselves, and they don't even have to meet them.
Lin En immediately understood that it was no wonder that the countess seemed to like him so eagerly.
It’s all acting!
"Is this okay?"
Eveni was a little hesitant. She was thinking about whether this would be a good thing for Linn. The excuse of being a Countess is not something you can just use casually. You have to convince others, right?
"Why not? Miss Yevni, weren't you very excited just now?" Amiste let out an itchy and cheerful laugh. This beautiful woman with easy control of her emotions seemed to be proud of her outstanding performance. Yevni If you just believed it, other fools will definitely believe it too.
As long as most people are willing to believe it, lies will become facts.
The countess has seen too many such things.
The most ridiculous thing is the marigold scam that was started by a group of businessmen in the Goen Kingdom a few years ago. A few humble businessmen and a small noble actually turned marigolds into luxury goods. In crazy times, the price reached ten gold pounds per plant. It even indirectly affected Albion's financial market, and the official government issued emergency policies to regulate flowers.
Don’t people know it’s a money-making scam?
No, they mostly know that. It's just that they feel that it's not their turn to bear the consequences of this scam that was promoted, and they can just make a profit and run away before it collapses. As a result, everyone who thought this way was ruthlessly pushed into a hell created by greed when they thought about selling if the price rose a little higher.
It is said that during that period, bankrupts often jumped from the unfinished Gowan Tower.
"Since His Excellency the Earl has already selected the trading chips, of course I have no objection." Linn nodded helplessly. He felt that when he and Amiste met for the first time, she was already acting. Just to make myself a reasonable excuse.
"Then you two can enjoy afternoon tea first. I'll go to the study first. The steward will notify you when I'm ready."
The Countess stood up gracefully, giving Yevney and Linn space to communicate. Her conservative but provocative body slipped past Lin En's nose amid the fluttering white dress. Before leaving the flower pavilion, she took a hidden look at Lin En's used cup, which seemed to have no lip marks. Licking his lips.
Amiste can always easily stir up the fire in Linn's heart.
After the Countess left the flower pavilion, Yevni looked at Lin En and hesitated to speak. Lin En opened her mouth immediately after catching a glimpse of her.
"Captain, this is a reasonable deal. I will not forget my identity."
"That's not what I'm worried about. Your Excellency Amiste still has credibility..." Yevni shook her head in surprise, and then said what she was really worried about. "...She likes to study extraordinary things. I suspect that she may have inquired about you, so she is really curious about you."
Eveni said it very implicitly, but Linn's face was still a little stiff.
Sure enough, there is no such thing as pie in the sky in this world. Does the Emotional Countess still want to study him? Sure enough, except for Sister Sophia, all other women are covetous of him.
"Thanks."
While Lin En was complaining in his heart, his eyes looked at Yevni with a soft and glowing look. He could feel the sincere love and care shown to him by Eveni just now. As a subordinate, Lin En was certainly not a rebellious person who was ungrateful and was very protective of the team leader.
People are a combination of emotion and rationality. Who doesn’t want someone to support and trust him unconditionally when he is in trouble? When I work hard, my boss gives me clear rewards and punishments, and I am the first to protect my calf.
If Linn had had a boss like this before time travel, he wouldn't have run away with a bucket.
Subconsciously picking up the teacup and smelling the fragrant nectar tea, Linn could really taste it this time. The smell is very strong, but the taste is extremely light and sweet. It is as smooth as satin and spreads from the base of the tongue to the entire mouth. The fragrance is difficult to dissipate for a long time.

While Lynn and Evene were enjoying afternoon tea hosted by the Earl in a luxurious manor outside Chengdu, in the lower city where sewage flowed and was filled with odor, Mr. Bill was having a friendly exchange with a bald man with tattoos.
So-called friendship means that two patrolmen with thick waists and strong arms, holding batons, pressed the gang leader who could chop off the fingers of poor people without batting an eyelid when collecting protection fees in front of a water tank. From the bald man's wet upper body, choking nose, and terrified eyes, it is not difficult to see how afraid he is of Bill who is sitting on the side with a pocket watch.
"Tsk, tsk, this is not a cooperative intention."
Mr. Squinty smacked his lips and shook his head, and his finger moved to the button on the top of the pocket watch.
"Wait! Wait!! I really don't know what's going on with that damn corpse. We dare not care about the dead body even if it moves! Please! Be kind!"
Bill smiled and pressed the button.
The next moment, the two patrolmen roughly pressed the bald man into the turbid water tank, and the gang leader's terrified wailing soon turned into a gurgling sound of choking water. He struggled like a crucian carp on the shore.
One minute and thirty seconds later, Bill pressed the button again.
With a splash, the bald man was pulled out of the water before he was choked to death. He breathed greedily, his eyes full of fear for Bill.
"I said, you have to give me something. As for the rules here, I don't care." Bill tilted his head with his legs crossed. "Besides, I like playing games with tough guys. The last one lasted ten rounds with me. I sincerely hope you can surpass him."
Bill put his finger on the button again with a smile.
"No no! Stop! I tell you, I can give you a name. He is responsible for the sale of corpses... Um! Gurgle gurgle gurgle..."
In the bald man's desperate eyes begging for mercy, Bill pressed the button without any fluctuation. After dealing with these bugs for a long time, Bill knew that the next time he was pulled out of the water, the other party would not dare to hide what pattern his wife had tattooed on her buttocks.
