Chapter 142 Borrowing money is not the purpose, establishing a debt relationship is the purpose
A series of question marks floated on Wayne's forehead, suspecting that Meghan sent the invitation to the wrong person. If I remember correctly, Auston never took the initiative to talk to him Have spoken.
An invitation was sent out of the blue...
Understood, the social waste has not changed its original intention. After acquiring the cement bucket factory, it is time to attack this little white flower again!
After Megan left, Wayne flashed back to the study and placed the invitation in front of Heaphy with a serious face.
"Teacher, what do you think?"
"???"
Xifei also had a series of question marks floating on her forehead, and she read the invitation letter over and over again: "Then you can participate, he won't eat you up."
Wayne's eyes widened, he couldn't do it, but his big star could!
Seeing the student's defensive look, Xifei smiled and waved her hand: "I also have an invitation letter. My sister will be there when the time comes, so he won't dare to embarrass you."
The stockings market is booming, and the clothing brand "Heaphy Valentine" under Heaphy's name has opened up the London market in one fell swoop and has become a fashion benchmark sought after by upper-class ladies.
The factory that produces stockings, including the nylon patent, is owned by the Landau family company. Putting aside their relationship as husband and wife, Auston and Heaphy are business partners, so they naturally received the invitation.
"So, this is a formal business gathering?"
"What if?"
"I thought the meeting place was at the cement barrel processing factory by the River Tame." Wayne complained sharply.
"No, I've taught him a lesson. He doesn't dare to embarrass you again." Xifei was overjoyed and stepped back to watch. The fight between these two people was quite interesting.
"Teacher, I still don't understand. Since it's official, why did you invite me?"
Wayne was puzzled. It wasn't that he wouldn't go in a formal manner, but that he and Auston had no business dealings. The other party even looked at him too much, so there was no need to invite him to a formal occasion.
"Well, maybe there are other reasons."
Xifei pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "The Landau family is withering away. Apart from those useless distant relatives, as my student, you are one of the very few trustworthy people."
Wayne was even more confused. He admitted that what Heaphy said made sense. After all, the future heir of the Landau family had to rely on his efforts. Auston would not always be at odds with him. Sooner or later, he would respectfully call him uncle.
But are you giving up too quickly? Do you really not want to persist anymore?
If Veronica is not pregnant, this behavior is tantamount to surrendering with a white flag three to five years in advance.
It’s too fast, the other side of the sea hasn’t surrendered yet!
Wayne suspected that the matter was fraudulent, and he was trying to judge others by himself. The invitation was not as simple as it seemed, but Xifei was steadfast in her vows. He could not continue to speak ill of her husband, so he could only secretly be on guard.
"By the way, teacher, I have some information for you."
Wayne said: "The news came from the detective agency a few days ago that the Moonlight Church is planning to build a new stronghold. It is currently in urgent need of funds and is looking for the enemy."
Xifei's face darkened: "I know this matter has been settled. The Free Mage Alliance has mediated and acted as a guarantor for the Moonlight Church."
It is easy to see from Xifei's face that this matter is very complicated and involves many parties. The big cake of Windsor has to be re-divided into spheres of influence.
The Church of Nature was seriously injured by the Dark Knight and could not hold on to its base. In all likelihood, it would be cut off from them.
"Teacher, we are both in the Life Alliance, so it should be fine, right?" Wayne asked tentatively.
Xifei shook her head and said nothing. The Life Alliance was to fight against the belief in darkness and death. Internally, everyone still managed their own affairs. On the surface, they were harmonious, and competition always existed.
Otherwise, she would not snatch Wayne away from the Moonlight Church.
"Maybe it has something to do with the appearance of the Death Knight..."
Xifei smiled bitterly: "Coupled with the Dark Knight and the increasingly active Hell Evil God, the royal family does not want to consume its own power, so it can only delegate power to the church. Congratulations to the Moonlight Church, they have seized this rare opportunity."
Wayne listened to a few words and asked another question: "Since the Free Mage Alliance is the mediator, why don't they provide funds or loans?"
There is a saying that goes well, borrowing money is not the purpose, establishing a debt relationship is the purpose.
With this relationship, the Free Mage Alliance, no, the royal family can easily dictate to the Moonlight Church.
Xifei shook her head: "Perhaps it is the reason within the Free Mage Alliance. The chaotic beliefs are doomed to have different thoughts within the alliance..."
Teacher, this has nothing to do with whether your faith is confusing or not. You are bringing in private goods again.
Before speaking, look at the card first, and then look at your saintly bestie. Your beliefs are single and devout, and you don’t all have your own thoughts.
Wayne had an understanding of the general situation, and then he was no longer interested. He was a silver mage, a little drifter who just drifted with the crowd. What could he do if he knew all the inside stories? He was not qualified to cause more troubles.

Wayne House.
Wayne stepped out of the car and handed the invitation to Fula, asking him to arrange his schedule and remember to remind him to attend the business party on the 14th.
It was still early, so Wayne took the time to learn swordsmanship with Valkyrie. After taking a shower, he returned to the study alone.
He was doing three things at once, reading a book to recharge his batteries, calling on the fire element to find a new base for his fellow villagers, and sensing the silver cross in his body.
Xifei believes that among the Silver Cross, God is the most important, related to faith, and guides the future path of magicians;
Free Mage Dean Schrödinger is just the opposite. He ranks God last in the Silver Cross. There cannot be a single belief, otherwise it will affect the future path.
Wayne said he would not believe or listen to one another, but he still couldn't help but lean towards Planck's point of view. Starting from his own perspective, the essence of life is too strong. In the case of pursuing balance, only one goddess cannot satisfy him at all. .
The three goddesses of nature, the sun, and the moonlight he had planned for him already exist, and the sun can be easily dealt with. After wearing the Valkyrie, the power of the sun stored in the Book of Greed is enough for use, but only the moonlight...
"It's not impossible. We have a debt relationship with Chris. She even changed into a short skirt last night. Ask her to help steal a sacred object. She shouldn't refuse."
Wayne touched his chin, dreaming before it got dark.
He assumed that the power of the moonlight had been obtained and that the thighs of the three goddesses could be held firmly, and then he took out the dark ring from the drawer.
Plank said that the dark ring can help Wayne gain dark faith. The Book of Greed has tasted this ring, and joining the faith is not a problem.
The Dark Ring is no longer a problem, and the Death Knight's Shadow Nightmare is easier to use.
In the book of greed, the two little eyeballs of nature and death are the brightest, especially death, which is the brightest one.
"Can you bear to hold the thighs of five goddesses at once?"
Wayne was hesitant. The silver cross was all about balance. The more thighs he held, the higher the corresponding requirements for life, space, and self. Especially life, the countless four elements. Just thinking about it made his scalp numb.
Moreover, after being promoted to Silver Mage, the appetite for the Book of Greed has become larger and larger, and the four elements consumed will also be an astronomical number.
"I can bear it, but my fellow villagers can't!"
Wayne let out a long sigh, gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, deciding to suffer the fellow villagers one more time.
Believe it!
Target the five goddesses and contact Gangplank another day to ask him to return the ancient silver coins.
After confirming the target, Wayne looked at the little eyes that represented heaven and hell. For example, he said, for example, if you hug the thighs of five goddesses at once, it will inevitably be a bit yin and yang. Do you want to borrow two rough men? Can we neutralize it?
Wayne knew that this idea was wrong and the fellow villagers couldn't stand it, but he still couldn't help but want to take action: "It's all because of the Book of Greed. I'm becoming more and more greedy now."
Wayne suppressed his desire and postponed the issue. He first obtained the ancient silver coins to see where his upper limit was. If he still had some energy left, it would be too late to join Heaven and Hell.
As he said, Wayne picked up the phone and dialed Dean Plank.
Hey, Schrödinger, how do you know I have silver?
Wayne put the phone back and couldn't make any calls. His breakthrough into the silver stage had shocked Heaphy. He believed in his teacher, but he didn't have such high trust in Plank.
"We have to wait a little longer and contact him after the party on the 14th next month..."
Wayne rubbed his temples, he couldn't stop practicing and couldn't be idle for half a month. His cultivation requires a lot of resources, and he has been creating an elemental restricted area in Lundan, so there is no guarantee that he will not be found and fined. "It's time to attack the fellow villagers outside the city!"
Boom, boom, boom!
“Wayne, it’s time to eat!”
Willy's energetic voice came from outside the door. Wayne came back to his senses and found that he had been thinking for an hour and a half and missed today's pick-up.
"Coming."
Wayne shouted, put away the dark ring, stood up and left the desk: "It shouldn't be a big problem, I'm ready to borrow money."
…
After dinner, the tutoring class started on time.
Chris carefully quoted a price, 100,000 constitutions.
"You sold yourself for only 100,000?"
Wayne's eyes widened, and he found that Chris's eyes were even wider than his, and he changed his words: "I mean, who am I looking down on? I'm famous for my righteousness, but you already said it, 100,000 is too little, add a little more Bar."
Chrissy was angry and funny, and had no intention of exposing the pervert, although she was indeed very useful. She said: "Wayne, 100,000 is already a lot. Although the wind can't blow the money here, it can blow it away, and You are cooperating with the Moonlight Church, not me.”
"It doesn't matter. If the church doesn't pay back the money, I will come to you when the time comes."
Wayne looked indifferent and joked: "You work as an accountant in a detective agency and you get a salary every month. After all, working for me for a lifetime can just pay off the debt, and you can still earn enough money for a coffin."
Chris was shocked and gave Wayne a very reproachful look. She still said the same thing, the situation was too complicated, Veronica and Willie were both good girls, and she didn't want to get involved.
Also, she advised Wayne to close the net quickly and catch whatever he wanted, otherwise no one would be able to make friends in the future.
The two discussed, Wayne raised the price, Chris bargained, and Wayne confirmed an investment of 180,000.
"When I go back and tell the priest, she will prepare an agreement, and then I will bother you to go to the library to sign..."
"No, there are many people, and I am the pastor of the Church of Nature. If someone is seen as being a collaborator, you can just sign on my behalf." Wayne waved his hand and it was decided.
The Moonlight Church is too big and there is nothing he can do if he refuses to pay, but asking Chris to sign is different. It would be better if you don't pay it back. If you buy a mother with 180,000 yuan, you won't lose any money. You won't starve the child and he won't be hungry.
Chris opened her mouth. Things were more difficult than she thought.
After thinking for a moment, she agreed. If Wayne's investment lost money, she would keep working to pay back the money.
After talking about investment, the two started today's class. Wayne looked at the textbooks that jumped from third grade to seventh grade, which is the knowledge for the first grade of junior high school, and glanced at Chris in surprise.
If you have the ability, you will be in the second grade of junior high school!
Chrissy smiled softly, but the teasing look in the corner of her eyes still made Wayne couldn't help but blush.
Exposed.
The fact that the senior still insists on tutoring after knowing it must have nothing to do with him being a creditor. From a detective's point of view, the most unlikely thing is the truth. The senior is greedy for his body!
Coincidentally, he thought so too, and they both went to the right place.
The study course that night was very relaxed, and Wayne continued to draw inferences. In the middle, Chris switched to the eleventh-grade senior textbook. Without teaching, Wayne managed to answer questions fluently.
It turns out that he is already a college student!
"I'm so stupid..."
Chris leaned on the desk, held up her head with one hand, and said speechlessly: "Wayne, time is the most precious, and you shouldn't waste your precious time on boring things."
"No, Chris, you're not boring at all."
"..."
Chrissy blushed, her words were too explicit, and she advised Wayne to take it back quickly.
"Besides, without tutoring classes, I wouldn't trust you so much. If you can't borrow money, you won't be able to complete the mission of the church, right?"
Wayne made a quick move and changed the subject: "After all, I didn't waste my precious time. You also helped the church overcome the difficulties. We all have a bright future."
Chrissy blushed when she was interrupted. After thinking about it for a while, it seemed to make sense.
Bah, how can it make sense!
She glared at Wayne, packed up her textbooks and said, "There are no classes tomorrow and the day after, so I will prepare college courses. Don't hide it from me next time something like this happens. You are a genius and you can't waste an hour and a half every day."
"It's so kind of you."
"Well, you are not allowed to say this kind of thing again. During class, I am the teacher and you are the student. Do you understand?"
"..."
Wayne: (ω)
“What’s there to be ashamed of!”
Wayne was not embarrassed, but Chris was so embarrassed that her face immediately turned red, she picked up her textbooks and fled from the study.

Commerce Street, Wayne Detective Agency.
Wayne checked in as usual, looking through the documents from the past two days and signing them one by one.
Assistant Kelly handed over a notebook with a phone number recorded on it: "Detective Mona called in a hurry this morning. There was a small problem when investigating the missing pet. She didn't explain the specific situation. Please contact her boss when you have time."
Wayne's assistant is Veronica, but the eldest lady only pays wages and only comes to work when she is bored, so he hired an office assistant.
The little girl has just graduated and has not yet tasted the ups and downs of society. She insists on working overtime every day with full energy.
The last one to lock the door and the first to open the door, rain or shine, Wayne voted her the employee of the month and promised to become a regular employee immediately after the three-month internship.
"What kind of trouble could she get into..."
Wayne frowned. A request for a missing pet actually stumped his two generals: "Kelly, how many days has Detective Mona been investigating the missing pet?"
"Five days."
"..."
Wayne was silent for a moment. Mona was not an ordinary person. She was a member of the Vatican's tactical team. It took five days but she still couldn't find a dog.
Could it be that he encountered another devil?
Oh my god, why are there so many devils and hell organizations forming a team?
He picked up the phone and called the number. As expected, no one answered.
Two times later, the hotel owner said that the man with glasses and long legs had checked out and left in a hurry, as if he had met a creditor.
"Not in Lundan City, but still being hunted..."
"This is a serious matter."
After exchanging butt friendship, Wayne couldn't just ignore it and made another phone call: "Kerr, it's me, Wayne."
"Remember your sister?"
"How do I know how many sisters you have in your family? I'm talking about Mona, the detective you recommended to me before. She is in trouble."
"While the body is still warm, let her family members rescue her immediately."
"I can't. I'm busy making money. I don't have time to go there, so I'll just hang up now. You can treat me to dinner another day."
Wayne hung up the phone and asked Mona not to panic. He overcame many difficulties and helped call for reinforcements. The Vatican's troops arrived soon.
