Chapter 277: Isn’t it normal for an ambiguous scene to be interrupted by someone breaking in?
Klein and Fors left the training ground early. Xio would be there for a while, so they went to a nearby vegetable and meat store to buy ingredients for dinner.
The former selected various ingredients and said with a smile:
"Hot pot, let's have hot pot tonight! It will be absolutely delicious!"
“Well… I don’t doubt this…” After hesitating for a moment, Fors leaned close to Klein’s ear and whispered:
"Do you know Audrey, Audrey Hall?"
Klein's arm holding the ingredients trembled violently, and then he said calmly:
“Ah? Who are you talking about? I don’t know any daughter of Earl Hall’s family… uh…” Klein didn’t want to know at first, but Miss Justice was too famous. When she apologized to Old Blue and himself in the gray fog, she mentioned the family of Earl Hall… After that, the true identity of Miss Backlund’s most shining gem was confirmed. This was a situation that Klein tried his best to avoid investigating…
Fors was both angry and amused. She took the bag of fresh fish from the clerk with one hand, and walked out of the store holding Klein's arm with her other hand. Without saying a word, she led the way and turned into a small alley. She reached out and pushed the young fortune teller against the wall. Their eyes met. The latter was obviously a lot more nervous, and hesitantly said:
"What...what are you doing...I...am not that casual..."
“Go home. What else can I do?” Fors had a blank expression on her face. She used the hand that was holding the fish to press on the wall to create a “door”. She gently pushed Klein, and they walked through the “door” together.
"Ah?" Klein felt as if he was being "teleported" by Old Blue! He turned his head in astonishment and found that the two of them had actually returned to the new house he was familiar with! This was... the kitchen?
Fors put the fish bag away and said:
"I have shown you the whole thing. With the 'Master Key', you can sneak into the Hall's house like this..."
If Klein couldn't even understand what this meant, then all his efforts to coax Little Kitchen Knife would have been in vain. He hurried forward, grabbed Fors's hand, and said,
"Fors, listen to my excuse...
“I have never met Miss Hall in real life!
"I was buying stockings at Philips a while ago..."
"..." Fors turned her head and looked at the guy who said something so incredible with an inexplicable look.
"…Purchasing for others! Purchasing stockings for others! My colleague from Tingen asked me to do this! Yes, the letter. I still have it. I'll show it to you later!" Klein explained hurriedly, then said:
"I went to the department store with old Blue. He wanted to buy a camera... You've seen it before, the one from Axon. We even took a photo together...
"Who knew that when we tried it out once in the mechanical area, the flashlight attracted the attention of the young lady's maid... That's right! Don't look at me like that, it was her maid who came to see me..."
……
Fors found this funny and couldn't help asking:
"You were able to defeat a Sequence 7 Extraordinary Bodyguard head-on? Haha, if I were that female bodyguard, I would definitely hate that maid! How infuriating!
"What happened next? Were you invited to Earl Hall's mansion in Queens?"
Klein laughed and said:
"How is that possible! According to what Old Blue and I estimated, Earl Hall didn't even know that his bodyguards attacked us... Uh, should we consider them as sparring partners?"
"Ah? How did you get Miss Justice to join the Tarot Club?" Fors showed an exaggerated puzzled expression. "..." Klein was stunned. It was not surprising that Fors had deduced the identity of Miss Justice, but how did she come to the extremely outrageous conclusion that the "world" introduced "Justice"? !
“Fors! Have you forgotten that you and I joined the Tarot Club on the same day? Miss Justice has been a formal member for a long time... uh... you..."
Klein saw Forth's lips curl up slightly... Only then did he realize that he might have been tricked!
He was so angry that he laughed. He exerted force on his hands and pulled the woman who showed no guilt at all over. He looked into her eyes and said:
"Ma'am, may I ask you to dance?"
"Oh?" Fors said with a smile on his face:
"What gentleman would hug first and then invite? Besides, this is the kitchen..."
Klein took the lady's soft hand, gave her a fake kiss, and said, "Intis is fine. It's not enough to invite her now..."
thump!
"Ahem! Um! I remembered that I have something else to do, so I won't be back tonight!" Xio, who had just jumped in through the kitchen window, coughed heavily a few times, and was about to climb over the wall to leave the same way he came, but failed because of his height or his emotional excitement.
"...Xiu! Why don't you go through the main entrance?!" Fors's face flushed, but she quickly stopped her friend and asked.
"...I don't have the key..." Hugh paused and expressed his difficulties.
Klein and Fors only then realized that the two had come through the wall and had never opened the door! This...
"Hotpot, Xiu, we'll have hotpot tonight! Well, you guys should leave the kitchen and rest first! You must be exhausted after a day of training, right?!" Klein quickly got busy, trying to make everyone forget the embarrassing scene just now.
Hey! Spiritual wall? Should we build a spiritual wall first? No, the illusory wall will disappear immediately after being invaded... The "space blockade" that Old Blue used in the Brave Bar is quite powerful! Maybe I can get a spell for free? No, how can such a powerful spell be used for such a thing? Klein was in a dilemma.
……
"You used to be a female bodyguard for the Hall family... Ms. Rebecca, why did you suddenly resign from such a good job and apply for the Wayne family's bodyguard again?" The Wayne family's new butler, the gray-haired Asnia, asked seriously. He must find out whether the female bodyguard has any conflicts with the Hall family. If so, hiring her will affect the employer's entry into the upper class.
Rebecca, who was dressed in a formal men's suit, replied normally:
"I was satisfied with my last job and my employer was very generous. I terminated the contract with the Hall family peacefully without any conflict. Earl Hall even tried to persuade me to stay.
“It’s just that Miss Hall seems to have some misunderstandings about me, but I don’t know the specifics;
“As a professional butler, you know that once the person we serve is not satisfied, even just a little bit, it’s time for us to leave.
"So I left, and happened to see the news that your house was recruiting 'bodyguards', so I came here to apply..."
The butler nodded and asked meticulously:
"As a female bodyguard, you usually serve a female employer. Do you know that the Wayne family hired you as a bodyguard for the gentleman himself? Are you reluctant to enter some more private occasions? Will this cause you to have different emotions and affect the protection of your employer's safety?"
Rebecca replied without hesitation:
"Please believe in my professionalism. I am very focused. I passed the very difficult 'Loen Kingdom Judicial Examination' a long time ago and successfully obtained my lawyer's license. I can even defend my employer after an abnormal incident occurs!"
"One last question," Asnia said after examining the female bodyguard:
"How good are your fighting abilities? Although I am a believer of the goddess, I admit that most women are weaker than men."
Rebecca showed a "savage" smile and said:
"Very good, I mean my fighting ability... is very good."
