I thought she would say contemptuously that she didn't like childish and incompetent people, implying that she looked down on ordinary people. Who knew that she couldn't even be bothered to answer this question … Heh, such a strong sense of superiority can easily cause her to lose control when advancing … Klein couldn't help but lampoon inwardly.
From what he knew, Beyonders were only humans with additional powers. It was equivalent to being rich and having a lot of status. In essence, they still had human attributes and were unable to escape society. Only when one reached Sequence 4 would there be a qualitative change.
Besides, most demigods are active in human society. Even the Sequence 1 Snake of Fate, Will Auceptin, is doing his job as an unborn fetus … Perhaps only when one reaches the stage of Blasphemer Amon and company can they truly look at the real World with the eyes of a "god" … Klein's thoughts raced as he took the initiative to say, "Sorry.
I was once a merchant who frequently traveled between the Northern and Southern Continents. I don't have much experience at balls. Heh heh, I'm referring to this kind of ball. "
"It's fine," Hazel replied calmly, as though she didn't care if he brought up the topic from before.
If it were anyone else, they wouldn't know how to chat with this arrogant girl. All they could do was focus on dancing. However, Klein was now considered knowledgeable and experienced. He had a sufficient understanding of the mysterious world and different Beyonders, so he smiled and said, "I'm sorry, but I'm sorry.
After the apology, he said with a smile, "To me, this isn't a simpler challenge than the sea. It similarly has beautiful scenery, but it also contains countless difficulties. Of course, there are also all sorts of stories about treasures at sea. Some of them are obviously fake, while others sound real, but there's no way to verify them. Just like the number one treasure, Death's Key."
"Death's Key?" Hazel looked up at Mr. Dawn Dantès, who was much taller than her.
Indeed, such Beyonders with a strong sense of superiority are always interested in matters that involve mystery … Klein chuckled inwardly and nodded gently.
"Yes, it's rumored to be in a secret spot in the Berserk Sea …"
He recounted the legend of the treasure he had heard on the White Agate back then and added more details he had heard in his subsequent adventuring career.
During this process, he inevitably mentioned the Four Kings and the Seven Pirate Admirals.
Hazel was clearly interested in this. She responded to Klein, which was rare for her. She even raised questions occasionally, which made the dance between them less awkward. Unknowingly, the dance came to an end.
Klein skillfully ended the topic and asked, "What's the matter?
"Are you going back to where you were, or are you going to get some food over there?"
After a dance, the man had to follow the woman's wishes and send her to the place she wanted to go, not necessarily to her original position.
Hazel opened her mouth as though she wanted to ask something, but she ultimately didn't say those words. She nodded in a reserved manner.
"The place just now."
Hehe, she's clearly a little reluctant to part with the story at sea … She's just an oversized brat. As long as I get the right temper and find the right hobbies, she's actually not that difficult to get along with … Klein held back his laughter and sent Hazel back to the edge of the dance floor, where she had been standing.
As for himself, he naturally acted nonchalantly as he walked to the long tables that had all sorts of food placed on them. He picked up a plate and picked up a pan-fried Dragon-Bone Fish for himself, as well as a sliced steak with black pepper sauce.
Compared to dancing and socializing, delicacies are the true essence of a gathering … As Klein thought, he tried his best to make his actions of eating appear elegant.
At this moment, he saw Ma 'am Mary walk over and fork a piece of foie gras in red wine onto her plate.
When Klein saw her glance at him, he politely smiled and nodded as a form of response.
"How might I address you? I've never seen you at the banquets and balls hosted by Member of Parliament Macht. " Perhaps it was because she saw Dawn Dantès's white sideburns and deep blue eyes that made him very charming, the average-looking Ma 'am Mary with high cheekbones took the initiative to ask.
Klein smiled.
"I'm a merchant who just came from Desi Bay, Dawn Dantès. I live on this street.
"Ma 'am, may I know your name?"
Mary nodded thoughtfully. She roughly understood that this was a businessman who was trying to get into the upper class, just like her in the past.
She smiled and said,
"Mary Schott, director of the Coim Company."
She didn't mention that she was the largest shareholder of the Coim Company, nor did she mention that she was currently a member of the National Atmospheric Pollution Council. This was a Rouen -style subtlety.
Was Mary Shaw returning to her father's name? That's right, she's already divorced … Klein muttered silently as he smiled.
"I know this company. Its main business is anthracite and high-quality charcoal. It has been expanding very rapidly in recent months. Hehe, frankly speaking, I have the intention to invest in it, but it seems that I can't compete with others."
After the air pollution bill was passed, the demand for anthracite and high-quality charcoal increased greatly. The Coim Company had developed beyond its years of hard work, and its total value was said to have exceeded 250,000 pounds. Klein's intention to invest wasn't just spouting nonsense. He truly felt that this industry would become even more important in the years to come, until humans discovered alternative energy sources.
Mary had always been very proud of the atmospheric pollution investigation report that allowed the Coim Company to develop rapidly. She couldn't hide her smile when she heard that.
Upon hearing that, she couldn't hide her smile and said, "This is because people are paying more attention to the environment they live in."
Having said that, she sighed slightly.
"While it's getting better, there's also more trouble."
As they had "just" met, Klein didn't press her about the trouble. With his previous acquaintance, he easily found a topic that she was interested in, allowing them to have a rather pleasant conversation.
Heh heh, her attitude towards Sherlock Moriarty and Dawn Dantès is very different … People she's familiar with have changed their faces and identities, but when they stand in front of her, they receive a brand new treatment without any problems. This feeling is truly fascinating … As they chatted, Klein felt wistful. He felt that the Faceless potion he had consumed was rapidly digesting.
After a few minutes, a handsome man with bright blonde hair walked over with a glass of red wine. He smiled at Madam Mary and said,
He smiled at Mary and said, "Mary, what are you talking about?"
"Hibbert, this is Mr. Dawn Dantès from Desi. His experiences at sea in West Balam were rather interesting." Mary immediately introduced them. "Dwayne, this is Mr. Hibbert Hall, the eldest son of the Earl of East Chester. Heh heh, we should address him as Lord, but he wishes for us to address him as Mr. Chief Secretary, the Chief Secretary of the National Atmospheric Pollution Council."
I've heard you mention it before. Of course, it was when he was active as Sherlock Moriarty … The Earl of East Chester. That's a powerful noble, a true member of the upper echelons of society … Klein bowed respectfully without appearing humble.
"Please allow me to express my gratitude as an ordinary person. The National Atmospheric Pollution Council's work has allowed us to obtain a better living environment."
Hibbert Hall was rather pleased by the sincere thanks. He replied with a smile, "Yes, sir.
"This is a result of all of our hard work."
Mary smiled and said, "Dwayne, don't mention this again.
"Dwayne, don't mention this again. It will make Hibbert proud. No, I was just joking. He's more humble than all the aristocratic scions I know. He's supposed to be on vacation in the East Chester County, hunting with a group of friends, but after I sent a telegram to Member of Parliament Macht inviting us to this week's ball, he immediately returned."
"It's not just for the ball. There are many other matters that require my attention. My father, Earl Hall, will also frequently travel between Baekeland and our fief before June," Hibbert explained seriously.
A gentleman who places great importance on his social image … Klein made a preliminary judgment.
When Mary heard that, she asked in passing,
"Is there anything else? When will you be leaving Baekeland? "
"Everything else has been settled. There's only one thing left. Heh heh, my sister, Audrey, is very interested in 10% of the Baekeland Bike Company's shares. She hired a professional team to help her negotiate. I'm in charge of coordinating this matter," Hibbert said without much thought.
10% of the Baekeland Bike Company's shares? What a coincidence … I have to say that the circle of high society isn't that big … Klein sighed inwardly as he deliberately mentioned, "I've also found a team to purchase the 10% shares.
I offered it at 9,000 pounds, but unfortunately, there's no way for me to compete with others. All I can do is give up. "
Hibbert looked at him in surprise.
"You have good taste."
He didn't mention the exact price he offered, to prevent Hibbert from competing again.
9,000 pounds … Mary silently muttered to herself, feeling that she had underestimated Dawn Dantès's wealth.
At this moment, the melody of the third dance sounded. Hibbert Hall turned to Mary and said,
Hibbert Hall turned to Mary and said, "May I have the honor of inviting you for a dance?"
"I've been waiting for your invitation." Mary immediately extended her hand.
This prevented Klein from directly exchanging name cards with them. However, he wasn't in a rush, as there was still some time before the ball.
After getting another plate of food, he enjoyed it while watching the dance floor, enjoying the ladies' dancing.
During this process, he discovered that Member of Parliament Macht and Ma 'am Riana were mingling with different guests, chatting happily with everyone. They even danced a few times.
According to Walter, after confirming the guest list, the host has to seriously summarize every guest's preferences and experiences. Based on that, they can design different conversations or jokes, making everyone feel like they are being treated individually … Interpersonal relationships in high society sure are troublesome … Heh heh, this might be the reason why Rouen gentlemen generally have receding hairlines … As Klein sighed, he lampooned.
He retracted his gaze and looked at the empty plate. He seriously considered whether he should invite a particular lady or lady for a dance or eat a little more.
At this moment, he caught sight of Hazel Macht's figure from the corner of his eye. The girl was hurrying to the third floor.
