Chapter 329: House of Sin
"Oh, my old friend Wayne, it's been a long time since we last met! I heard that the bank you manage has recently changed its name, and you hired bodyguards with high salaries. You are becoming more and more like one of Backlund's upper class!" Patrick Jason, who had high cheekbones and gray blue eyes, enthusiastically greeted the middle-aged man who was still wearing a bathrobe in the middle of the day, accompanied by a beautiful female bodyguard and a beautiful maid.
"Ha, ha, that's all thanks to Mr. Jason..." Blue Wayne picked up the clean water, rinsed his mouth and spit it out. He was taking a nap just now, and his attention was more on his original body. Now he woke up in a hurry because of something here. It must be said that he is now not far from being completely split into three people...
"What advice do you have for me this time?"
"Haha, I heard it. You are still blaming me for selling the bank that Earl Hall wanted to acquire to you..."
"Apostle of Desire" Jason clearly felt the other party's emotions. He felt a little funny. This Wayne was quite capable and had unexpectedly abundant funds... He actually supported the operation of the bank and large investments with his own savings alone... But, that was the end! He smiled "sincerely" and said:
"Remember what I said before, that I would host a dinner party and introduce you to Earl Hall and other nobles at the dinner party?
"Now I've decided to hold it earlier! Tonight! I came here to visit you just to invite you!
"You don't have to worry about your bank being attacked or squeezed out anymore! We will all be partners in the future! Maybe Earl Hall will appreciate you and invite you to join the shareholders' meeting of Bavart Bank! Wouldn't you be soaring to the sky by then?"
After saying this, Jason sensed the excitement, astonishment, and agitation of this middle-aged man again, but he managed his expression very well, with only the corners of his mouth slightly raised...
He couldn't help but sigh, this guy is quite cunning! It seems that Wayne's panic and panic last time were mostly fake...
Blue Wayne really wanted to say thank you for the compliment. He now had a "manipulator" on duty who could accurately grasp the psychological activities of the visitors. It seemed that Jason felt the time was ripe and was about to officially start the assassination of Duke Negan...
Uh...how about delaying the progress of the investigation team a little longer, letting this guy succeed in the assassination and then killing him?
"Friend! I won't say anything more. From now on, you are my true friend!" Blue Wayne no longer suppressed his emotions. He stood up excitedly, held Jason's right hand, and shook it up and down a few times, then said:
"I will definitely arrive at your house on time! I will definitely present you with a great gift!"
"Haha, that's good. I still have to inform other nobles... I won't bother you for now! By the way, the first person I'll notify is you, brother Wayne!" Jason pulled his right hand away. He wanted to take out a handkerchief to wipe his palm immediately, but he restrained himself. He stood up and waved his hand:
"No need to see me off, buddy! I'll be waiting for you at 7pm!"
……
The blonde maid Xiao Fu sent the "distinguished guest" away, and after returning to the living room, she rushed directly to Wayne and said in a delicate tone:
"Sorry for disturbing you just now, shall we go back to sleep?
"By the way, are we going to kill Jason tonight? His malice is so strong that it scares me~"
Blue Wayne pushed aside the increasingly bold maid who was not "in the system" and said:
“Harvest, of course we have to harvest, but it’s not us who are going to harvest.
"If the 'merit' that has been brewing for so long is quietly crushed by us... then I still have to work hard to play him, which is not worth it.
"The tide of the times is unstoppable, so let's grab enough benefits from it... Xiao Fu, after tonight, don't go to the royal palace again, and definitely don't go to see George III again. He might notice something unusual afterwards..."
"He..." Xiao Fu's body trembled, and he rushed forward again, pulling Wayne's strong arm into his arms, and then he felt much more at ease and said:
"I understand~ Anyway, they always treat me as if I don't exist~ I'll just live here!
"By the way, do you need the title of 'Prince'? As long as I go back and tell them that I want to get married, they will be happy to send me away~"
Blue Wayne said helplessly:
"Xiao Fu, I have always respected your personality. Don't say such self-deprecating words. "The man in front of you is just an old man. Just because I look young doesn't mean I have really turned back into a young man. I am old, and I still have a deceased wife whom I miss. You are still young. Go find your true love, and find those young people."
Xiao Fu clenched his arms even tighter, but said nothing more.
……
Night gradually fell.
There were never enough servants in Patrick Jason's house because one or two of them would go missing every once in a while, so planning a large dinner party required hiring temporary cooks, maids, etc. from the "Metropolitan Association for Helping Household Servants."
As for those missing people, no one cares at all. Maybe they suddenly had other ideas and sought another way out.
But in fact, they have never left. They have been buried in the cement of the basement, in the thick walls, in the overgrown weeds of the garden... Over the past decade, the number of victims... has been countless.
As soon as old Blue Wayne got off the carriage, he sensed the strong sin in Jason's mansion, the indissoluble darkness, and the spirits huddled and wandering in the burial ground...
"Mr. Jason, your place... is really unique."
"Oh, Mr. Wayne is interested in my house? That's easy!" Patrick Jason, dressed in a gentleman's suit and very formally, said with a smile:
"I spent a total of 4000 pounds to buy this mansion, plus the paintings, furniture, and many of my unique 'collections' I bought later, pounds! It will be completely yours! Anyway, I will leave Backlund after tomorrow and will no longer need it. You really have a good eye!"
"Oh, it's not a gentleman's act to take away someone's beloved..." Old Blue said with a smile, and walked into the brightly lit house step by step with heavy steps, leaning on his cane. His bodyguards and servants stayed near the carriage as requested by their employer.
"This guy...why doesn't he want to pay?" Jason muttered, then he smiled brightly and greeted another visitor.
dong dong.
With every step Old Bruce took, his body seemed to get heavier, and when he arrived at the dance hall paved with bright marble tiles, his back was slightly hunched, revealing a temperament that was inconsistent with the "middle-aged" Wayne.
The elegantly dressed gentlemen and ladies did not approach Wayne, a stranger with the reputation of being a "nouveau riche", but just chatted and socialized in groups of two or three.
