Chapter 69 First Meeting
The next morning.
The rain has subsided, but the whole city does not feel refreshed after the rain, because the clouds still linger in the sky, blocking the sunshine.
But the bad weather did not stop people from running for life. Long before the sky lit up, the working-class citizens had already solved the problem of filling their stomachs with bread and oatmeal, and hurried to their respective places of employment. factory.
In upper-class homes, this is the time for the servants to start preparing breakfast.
Catering conditions are the most direct representation of a person or a family's financial ability. Dry bread represents that the owner of the family has no time to light a fire for cooking due to time constraints. It may even be that for them, making a fire itself is a very important thing. It's a luxury thing, because even in a city like Nanwei City, which has humid weather all year round, the flame burning in the fireplace is a luxury consumption for many ordinary people.
If a family’s breakfast table includes things like smoked blackfin, bacon, jam, and rolls baked the night before, it means that the family is at least middle-class. level.
Of course, the above two are just breakfasts that save time.
On the dining tables of some top families, a series of complex meals will appear. As the complexity of the meals increases, the meal time will inevitably be postponed. The breakfast time of some wealthy families may The start will be postponed until ten o'clock in the morning, but people don't need to rush to the workshop on time, so meal time is not a problem at all.
To put it bluntly, the later you eat breakfast, the higher your status will be highlighted.
Milo woke up from the various sultry aromas filling the air.
He smelled the aroma of steaks, pickled oysters, shrimps, stork birds, small plates of eggs, golden-blue salmon meat, ham, caviar and other luxurious meals.
If Milo was a religious man, he might think that he had arrived in the so-called paradise or paradise, the kind of world where milk flows in the river.
But it is a pity that he does not have that belief, and based on his self-awareness and understanding, even if there really is a place like heaven, it is impossible for people like him to squeeze in after death. Gotta get in.
In other words, those aromas of steak, oysters, and baked ham are real.
Milo spent a lot of effort to open his eyelids.
His eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of glue and allowed to dry. The upper and lower eyelids were stuck together. Milo wanted to raise his hands to open them, but found that his wrists were locked behind metal objects. Get up, unable to move.
When he relied on his facial muscles to forcefully open his eyes, Milo felt that half of his eyelashes had been plucked off.
It was the dried blood that stuck to Milo's eyelids, and his perspective was very blurry at this time...
Not just his eyes, Milo felt that his mouth, nose and throat were extremely dry, and even normal There was a weird hissing sound in his breathing, which was probably caused by the large amount of blood flowing back into his trachea during his coma.
There was still a sharp pain in my head, but it was no longer as terrifying as last night.
Milo was breathing heavily. He could feel his heart beating extremely fast, which was a sign of abnormal physical condition.
At this time, he was in a magnificent hall.
All the furniture and decorations around him are the most luxurious and high-end that Milo has seen since he entered Nanwei City... no, he has seen since he entered this world.
The sources of the alluring fragrances in the air that he just smelled were now placed one by one on a nearly three-meter-long sandalwood dining table.
From Milo's blurry perspective, he could only vaguely see a slender figure sitting at the front of the dining table. She was wearing a dark purple dress, her sitting posture was very dignified, and her dining movements were very smooth and elegant.
Milo couldn't see the other person's face clearly, and could only hear the crisp sound of the tableware being touched.
Because there was no sound of any servants in the hall and the surroundings were silent, Milo could even hear the sound of the other party chewing with his lips tightly closed.
......
Gradually, Milo felt a little cold.
He found himself chained to a cold stone pillar, with heavy shackles on his hands and feet.
Maybe it's because of excessive blood loss, or maybe it's because the temperature has dropped today. Milo feels cold all over his body, as if he's not wearing anything...
Oh, no, I really don't seem to have anything on. Not wearing anything.
…Damn!
It took nearly five minutes after the dazed Milo woke up to realize that he was naked. Before that, he had been looking at the only figure in the field of view. He could even clearly see the food on the other person's table. What kind of dishes are there...
Listening to the movement coming from the direction of the dining table, Milo was confused for a moment.
Is she a pervert?
Why are you eating in front of me without any clothes on?
......
The woman at the table obviously knew that Milo had woken up, but she continued to eat calmly without even looking at Milo.
As time went by, Milo's vision gradually became clearer.
He saw the profile of the dignified and elegant lady in front of the dining table. She had a very upright figure and a swan-like neck. Every bit of her body was impeccable.
Milo confirmed the woman's identity at the first glance of her face.
Grace Sherman.
The infamous Castor Lady. What surprised Milo was that the photo of Grace he found in the archives was taken 15 years ago, and Grace is now close to forty years old, but from Milo's perspective, she is different from the one in the photo. There is not much difference between Grace and the passage of 15 years has only brought changes in her temperament.
Her makeup and temperament have become more mature, without the youthfulness and agility in the photos. Of course, the most important thing is what she is doing right now.
How can a normal woman eat breakfast in front of a bloody man?
......
After Grace finished her meal, four or five servants walked in from outside the hall. They took all the remaining food and tableware off the table in an orderly manner, and then brought them back. Things like warm towels and mouthwash cups.
Until the entire breakfast was over, the servants brought warm tea and exited the hall.
Milo really couldn't hold it in any longer:
"Before we start discussing, can you put me on some pants first."
Grace stood up slowly, He walked around the dining table and came to the stone pillar. He leaned lightly on the edge of the dining table with his lower back, crossed his hands in front of him, and swept his eyes calmly over Milo's body from top to bottom, as if he was looking at an ordinary utensil, with no expression on his face. Any emotional color.
Milo's figure is completely acceptable, at least with clear lines and moderate dimensions, but he has no ambition to be a bodybuilder and doesn't like being stared at like this, especially on such a cold day.
"Your clothes were sent for inspection, but unfortunately nothing I wanted was found."
Grace looked back and glanced at Milo's law enforcement hat, Bowie knife and revolver on the dining table , seemed to think about it seriously, turned around and said to Milo:
"How about I put the hat on you?"
"That would be even weirder." Milo shook his head. .
Seeing Milo's refusal, Grace did not force it. She turned around and looked at Milo calmly:
"This is the first time we met."
"Yes, I have imagined many ways to meet, but not including this one." Milo twisted his neck and made a series of crackling sounds.
"Milo Varrokan, you completed the level jump from city guard to law enforcement officer within one month, and you are the top in the law enforcement assessment. I thought you should be considered a capable person, hehe." Grace's eyes A trace of undisguised contempt began to emerge in his mind.
The slight snort in her tone when she spoke completely explained her attitude towards Milo.
But Milo didn't care about the attitude of the unknown woman in front of him. He sniffed: "So now is the time to read each other's life resume? Grace Sherman, 38 Years old, single with two children..."
Of course, the latter ones are pure nonsense.
But Milo just wanted to talk nonsense. He wanted to see if the Castor lady in front of him was really as deep as the rumors said.
But it turns out that verbal provocation cannot cause any emotional reaction from Grace, at least on the surface Milo can't see it at all.
"Aren't you curious about why you can survive until now? Or you haven't thought about this problem at all." Grace looked at Milo coldly.
From the beginning of the conversation between the two parties, until now, Milo's image in her heart is getting closer and closer to the direction of the clown. She feels that she overestimated this young man before, because the Milo in front of her looks like He was completely unaware of the situation he was in, or in other words, he had no discernment at all.
The buttocks were bare but there was no sense of shame at all, the conversation was frivolous and out of tune, and he didn't even show his desire to survive.
Grace felt that her arrangement was a bit unnecessary. She should have just let Milo die at the confession dock and be washed away by the current of the canal, instead of bringing him back to the manor.
As expected, this man refused to answer questions directly until he died.
Milo stared at Grace with blood-stained eyes:
“I’m more curious about why you took my underwear away, and whether you are a pervert.”
>
...
Grace closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then slowly turned away from Milo, returned to her seat and sat down.
It was obvious that she was too lazy to waste time with Milo.
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a thin face walked in from outside the hall.
The first thing he did after entering the hall was to lean down and kiss the back of Grace's hand, and then he said: "Madam, things on the other side have been arranged."
At this time, Milo, who was locked on the stone pillar, stared at the middle-aged man's profile for more than ten seconds before finally reacting.
It's Jonathan.
Jonathan from the House of Fun.
On that day, he took the initiative to find Milo and showed his kindness to him, exposing the illegal behavior of the j-daughter Eileen, and even said that he could deal with Eileen for Milo. Jonathan, appeared at Sherman Manor , kissed Grace's hand.
In other words, the mother in Erin's mouth, the real owner of the pleasure house, is actually Grace.
...
Milo's expression suddenly became serious.
