10000 pounds … Audrey blinked as she expressed her surprise with a subtle change in expression.
Without needing her to ask, Earl Of Hall sensed her puzzlement and chuckled.
"He's a very knowledgeable person. Some of his ideas have inspired me and resonated with me. Besides, we can't ignore suffering just because it's an objective existence that can't be resolved for a long period of time."
Audrey vaguely understood her father's words, but she felt that she didn't understand it clearly enough. She nodded slightly and took out her checkbook from her handbag that matched her dress. She wrote down the number 1,000 pounds.
This was a charity gala, and it was held in the cathedral's side hall. Therefore, there wouldn't be dancing or overly extravagant arrangements. There wouldn't be any servingmen or maidservants accompanying them. There would only be simple self-help and donations. The ladies would undoubtedly bring their own bags.
After the guests placed their checks into the donation box, they went to the two long tables on the two sides to get alcohol or simple food. They walked around the hall and conversed with others without sitting down.
This was closer to a buffet.
Klein followed Bishop Elektra to Saint Anthony's side and was introduced to the upper echelon of the Church of Evernight.
Saint Anthony smiled in response to Dawn Dantès's greeting and sized him up.
"Very good. We are proud to have a believer like you.
"The Goddess teaches us that character is more important than status. Therefore, you are a sufficiently noble gentleman."
To be frank, when facing this saint, Klein's heart was pounding. This was because any deity or Beyonder that was related to the fate domain could possibly see the gray fog aura on him. For example, all members of the Monster pathway, or the Evernight Goddess who wielded misfortune. And if Saint Anthony was a High-Sequence Beyonder of the Sleepless pathway and had grasped Beyonder powers related to misfortune, then it had to be said that there was a certain chance that he could tell that there was something wrong with Dawn Dantès.
For this reason, Klein had gone above the gray fog for a divination before attending the charity gala, and he had obtained an answer that was risk-free.
Since the Goddess didn't say anything, "Her" archbishop would probably pretend not to see anything even if "Her" archbishop noticed something amiss … Klein replied with a warm smile.
"Recently, I've often come to the cathedral to pray and listen to Bishop Elektra's sermons. I feel like my heart has been baptized, and even my soul seems to have been purified to a certain extent. That's why I can follow the teachings of the Goddess and pass on beauty and hope to others."
Saint Anthony nodded and said, "Yes.
"In front of the Goddess, all believers are only distinguished by their character, whether they are nobles or commoners, men or women, they are all the same.
"May those who live in a bad place be free from fear and find peace.
"Praise the Goddess."
Klein and Elektra then tapped their chests four times in a clockwise fashion.
"Praise the Goddess!"
Seeing that Saint Anthony had turned to another believer, Klein prepared to go to the long table and get a glass of champagne to quench his thirst.
At that moment he saw a gentleman approaching.
This gentleman's skin was a little loose, and his tummy was clearly bulging. However, one could tell that he was rather handsome in his youth. Even now, his blue eyes that had a smile in them and his beautiful mustache didn't make him look ugly.
Klein had heard Macht's introduction and knew that he was Earl Hall, a member of the House of Lords and a powerful banker.
Of course, to him, this noble's most important identity was Miss Justice's father. And Audrey happened to be by his side, her bright eyes focused on Dawn Dantès as she waited for the interaction between gentlemen.
This made Klein a little uncomfortable.
I have to act in line with Dawn Dantès's persona … A person of ordinary birth who has worked hard to squeeze into high society would definitely be a little nervous and uneasy at this moment. A gentleman who loves beauties would inevitably be nervous and uneasy when faced with the most dazzling gem in Baekeland. However, he would subconsciously reveal his own knowledge, his charm, and his desire to express himself. Yes, a tycoon who has rich experiences and walked out of chaos definitely has a hidden pride, confidence, and confidence. Regardless of how he feels inside, he will try his best to remain calm on the surface. He will be respectful but not humble … Klein's thoughts raced as a smile suffused his face. He bowed to the approaching Earl Of Hall.
"Honorable Count, I just happened to see your cheque. I admire your kindness and your benevolence, but you never flaunt them or tell others how much you have donated."
Earl Of Hall chuckled.
"No, I'm not as good as you, because the price I've paid is far inferior to yours."
What he was implying was that 15000 pounds might be a tenth, or even a fifth of Dawn Dantès's total assets.
10000 pounds was only a thousandth or less to him. Clearly, the former had paid a higher price, and his willingness to pay was purer.
"From my point of view, as long as it can help the poor who yearn to use knowledge to change their fates, all donations are sufficiently kind and benevolent. From this point of view, the difference between 10000 pounds and 15000 pounds is only 5000 pounds." Klein tried his best to appear sincere as he deliberately glanced at the blonde girl who was listening by the side without leaving a trace.
He knew that the normal "without leaving a trace" meant "very obvious" to a Spectator.
Audrey wore a faint smile as she quietly listened to her father and Dawn Dantès's conversation. She didn't seem to notice the gentleman's peeping. This made Klein, who didn't receive any feedback, lose his confidence in his "performance."
Earl Of Hall smiled and said, "Then let's keep our opinions to ourselves.
It's not a bad thing. At the very least, we are praising each other.
"I can tell that you have had difficult times in the past and have experienced the lives of the poor."
Klein nodded and said, "I don't avoid these past experiences.
"I don't shy away from the past. It's my precious treasure."
"And this is also what my friends and I lack." Earl Of Hall smiled and nodded. "It's precisely because of this that you possess unique wisdom and views. I hope there will be a chance to cooperate with you in the future."
"That's what I'm looking forward to as well," Klein replied in an appropriate and sincere manner.
Earl Of Hall pointed to the side.
"Some friends are waiting for me. May your good deeds and your wealth increase."
Klein didn't waste his breath as he drew the crimson moon on his chest.
"Praise the Lady."
"Praise the Lady." Earl Of Hall and Audrey tapped their chests four times in a clockwise fashion.
As he watched them walk past him and head elsewhere, Klein couldn't help but secretly heave a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, he tensed up again as he naturally looked around the hall, taking in the shadow of the door.
The golden retriever remained crouched there, silent.
…
On the carriage back to Empress Borough, Earl Of Hall, who appeared to be resting with his eyes closed, suddenly turned his head to look at his daughter.
"Audrey, didn't you previously say that you wanted to join a particular charity organization of the Church?
"Are you interested in joining this bursary foundation?"
"Ah?" Audrey had already sensed that her father might have such thoughts back in the cathedral. At this moment, she appropriately showed surprise and confusion.
"It's just a very small charity foundation," Audrey's brother, Hibbert Hall, argued for his sister.
Earl Of Hall smiled and shook his head.
"I've asked a few bishops. The total donation for tonight has already reached 100,000 pounds.
"Why do you think there's so much?"
Hibbert Hall furrowed his brows slightly and said as he thought,
As he thought, he said, "Bribe?"
At the same time, Audrey also gave her opinion.
"The sinking of knowledge and election qualifications?"
Earl Of Hall nodded and sighed.
"Nothing is inevitable, including human beings and nobles."
He then looked at Audrey and said with a smile, "You don't have to force yourself.
"You don't have to force yourself. I can find someone else to join this bursary foundation. I just hope that you can see more because of this. You won't see certain things as inevitable and will never change. Hehe, if you miss this, there are other charity organizations."
"Dad, I'll think about it," Audrey replied seriously.
After hearing Dawn Dantès recount the stories of the poor, she already had the intention of joining the bursary foundation to raise donations, contact the government, and organize events. She was hesitant because she felt that there was something wrong with the middle-aged gentleman.
After returning home, Audrey immediately got Susie and closed the door.
"What do you think of Mr. Dawn Dantès?" Audrey asked directly.
The golden retriever sat opposite her and thought for a moment before saying, "He seems to know you or something on you.
"He seems to recognize you or something on you. Also, he is acting most of the time. There are certain traces … He seems to be on guard against me. He is very sharp …"
"Yes, I also noticed that he might be a Beyonder. He acts very well, but it's still an act. However, that's very normal. When we socialize and face different people, we will play different roles and perform accordingly." Audrey thought and said, "The biggest problem is still why he was surprised when he saw me, to the point of being a little frightened. Also, he was actually involved in two cases, especially Baron Syndras's case. There seems to be some Beyonder factor involved. There are signs of him being guided …"
Susie turned agape, but she couldn't find a definite explanation. All she could do was bark.
Audrey changed her train of thought.
Hmm … I have to get someone to investigate Dawn Dantès. After confirming that there's nothing wrong with him, I'll join the bursary foundation … Ah right, it's almost Monday. I can entrust Fors and Mr. Moon on the Tarot. They're both in Baekeland …
…
Monday afternoon, three o 'clock.
Dark red beams of light shot up from the magnificent palace, freezing into blurry figures.
Audrey quickly surveyed the area and looked at the end of the long bronze table. She smiled and bowed.
She smiled and bowed, "Good afternoon, Mr. Fool ~"
