Chapter 302 I feel like I’ve won
night.
Mist.
Upscale restaurant.
The black car stopped slowly.
Wearing a black suit, Wayne walked into the restaurant like a dog, followed by Mona in a formal suit.
Her appearance is very similar to that of Meghan. She is a woman in a suit and trousers, with a tall and upright posture and a capable manner. Except for the short hair and the addition of a pair of glasses, there is almost no difference.
It's obvious that Wayne is cosplaying Alston. He doesn't even need makeup to play the role of Trash Can, so he restrains himself...
Just use your strength and try to magnify your shortcomings.
At the window on the third floor, Wayne met his poor relatives Banser Landau and his family.
The head of the family, Banser Landau, his wife Jennifer, the eldest son Orin, the second son Naren, the third son, the fourth son, the fifth daughter...
All in all, the population is prosperous, and counting down there are a group of young people of Wayne's contemporaries, there are 30 or 40 people there, mainly one person has the power of numbers.
In terms of seniority, Banser is Auston's uncle. He is said to be a distant relative. In fact, his bloodline is very close, but he lives far away and has not moved around for many years.
The grandchildren of Wayne and Banser were quite unhappy when they saw him coming with the step of not recognizing his relatives.
Auston is the head of the Landau family. Although he is a junior, Banser still has to look up to Auston because of his status as the head of the family. Wayne, the heir, is nothing. He is just a grandson. How can anyone be so cruel to someone else?
Banser felt that he had been scorned and insulted, but did not show it. His smile remained the same, and he took the initiative to say hello: "You must be Wayne. The young man looks so much like Auston. I thought you were an illegitimate child. It was just a rumor, but I didn’t expect it to be true.”
Banser is an old man who is several dozen years old. He has an old heart and a middle-aged appearance. He looks only about ten years older than Auston.
These words were strange and full of thorns. Wayne felt normal when he heard them. He said to the aggressive eldest son Orin next to him: "Your Excellency has a good temperament and is quite like the Landau family. I guess he is the head of the family, Grandpa Banser." ”
"..."
Orin's eyes widened, sensing his father's anger, and hurriedly explained: "I'm not, I am your uncle Orin Landau, this is my father Banser Landau, the real head of the family ”
"No way, this old man looks ordinary. He doesn't have the momentum and ambition of you at all. You are the head of the family."
"I'm not!"
"Then it will definitely be the future. Your brothers and sisters are nothing compared to you."
"..."
Wayne's eyes lit up and he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
Mona pushed up her glasses, took two steps forward and stood beside Wayne.
"That's enough. What's the point of arguing with a junior in public? The Landao family has lost all their face." Banser snorted coldly and scolded everyone to sit back down.
"Wayne, I came to London because of the queen's summons. Why didn't Auston come? Didn't he understand the queen's order?"
"Old man, is it the first day you come to Lundan? Don't you know about the relationship between my father and the queen?"
Wayne sneered. Seeing the crowd watching the excitement, all dressed in gorgeous clothes, he pointed at them and said, "Go and ask around, who doesn't know that my father is the Queen's first love? Their relationship is known to all in London." Chu.”
"..." xN
I don't know, please be more specific! xN
All the onlookers were helpers invited by Banser. They were friendly passers-by tonight, but in fact they were supporting Banser's scene. They were all curious after hearing this.
They don't have the guts to gossip about the Queen, but they still have the guts to listen to the Queen's gossip as passers-by.
Wayne knew very well that among these people there must be spies of the Queen, and maybe spies of other Tulip families, or even princesses and princes.
It is not easy for nobles to maintain the dignity of the upper class. It is reasonable to sell one piece of information to three houses.
Knowing this relationship, Wayne simply said loudly: "I'm not afraid to tell you that the prince passed away young. Over the years, my father Auston was often summoned by the Queen late at night and talked with her all night long about national affairs. He was the Queen's most trusted minister. "
"Be sensible and don't talk about the Queen in front of me. My father has more photos of meeting the Queen in person than you have of meeting the Queen!"
"Do you think the Queen is enjoying the blessing of calling your family here? You're laughing so hard, it's impossible. If it weren't for the fear of dissatisfaction from other Tulip families, you would never be able to return to Lundan in this life."
Arrogant and domineering, this guy will not last long! xN
Everyone’s comments were surprisingly unanimous, and they all expressed their condolences for Wayne’s future.
But when I think about it, Auston is so shrewd. Wayne has his blood in his body. He shouldn't be this virtuous in both emotion and reason, unless...
Everything Wayne said is true!
For a moment, the entire restaurant was extremely quiet. The Banser family was stunned, and the onlookers stood still holding knives and forks.
You can hear a pin drop.
"Ahem, I've said too much. What I just said shouldn't be mentioned."
Wayne opened the seat, Damajinda sat down, raised his eyebrows and said: "But it doesn't matter, Lundan's heaven is always the Queen's heaven, even if I say it, no one dares to spread it."
With a flurry of punches, Banser couldn't be beaten anymore. He took the handkerchief handed over by his wife, hastily wiped the sweat from his forehead, and sat down opposite Wayne with a civilized stick.
Judging from the position of the seats, Wayne was completely surrounded by the Banser family. He should have been in danger, surrounded by wolves. However, due to the unclear relationship between Auston and the Queen, Wayne occupied the C position, and the Banser family was reduced to a foil.
Banser expressed doubts about Wayne's words and did not believe that the innocent queen and Alston were disconnected. After all...
He knew that Prince Douglas was suspected of not being dead and was still alive.
"Old man, no, Banser, I am here today on behalf of the goodwill of the Landau family. Auston asked me to take good care of you. He said that poor relatives from other places came to our family to beg for food. I didn't believe it at the time, but now..."
Wayne glanced at everyone and raised his chin slightly: "It is indeed a bit embarrassing. In terms of clothing and appearance, you have made the word aristocrat become a commoner."
"..."
Dressing up to attend tonight really cost me a lot of money. I thought I was gorgeous enough, but after receiving such comments from Wayne, I suddenly lost my confidence.
Did I really embarrass the nobles?
Banser felt lonely. Compared to his own family, Auston did have a powerful son: "Wayne, you are going too far. I am yours no matter what..."
"We are all nobles. We don't need to play the emotional card. Talking about relationships costs money. I can afford it. Can you afford it?"
Wayne interrupted directly and said to the waiter who was standing aside: "Let's take away the food. The consumption tonight will be counted on me. I don't want the best, I just want the most expensive."
The manager nodded repeatedly. Although Wayne was very arrogant and extremely annoying, this was Lundan and the rich were the boss.
If he were the heir to the Landau family and had a father who was obsessed with the Queen, he would definitely be more arrogant than Wayne.
The offensive and defensive momentum reversed, and it turned into Wayne entertaining the Banser family.
It didn't matter, the money was well spent. Seeing the Banser family's entangled behavior of wanting to eat but caring about their appearance, Wayne smiled and said nothing.
"Jiejiejiejie——"
Mona stood behind Wayne throughout the whole process, acting as a bodyguard, secretary, lover, and waiter. Whenever she saw Wayne's domineering appearance, a trace of matter-of-factness flashed in his eyes.
Faith makes people firm, religion makes people stupid!
Banser tasted the pure French food and it tasted like chewing wax. Some of the words he originally prepared were useless at this time.
He said that he had the Queen's support, and Wayne said that Auston slept with the Queen. He didn't dare to say what Wayne dared to say, and it was nonsense.
Fortunately, it wasn't a big problem. Everyone in the room was his. Wayne went into danger alone, with only one secretary...
secretary?
Speaking of secretaries, Banser suddenly thought that according to the information sponsored by the royal secret agent, the secretary next to Auston was very good at fighting. What about the secretary next to Wayne, could he also be good at fighting?
The problem is still not big, with so many people watching, Wayne really dares to hit him.
Play the best, and you can make a lot of money just by lying down.
Thinking about it, Banser felt a sense of sadness in his heart. Both of them had the surname Landau. To make money, Auston and Wayne only had to sell their conscience, but he had to sell his face.
As a noble, he failed so much.
"Mr. Banser, are you Mr. Banser?"
A strange voice penetrated Banser's ears. He raised his head in confusion, looked at the uninvited man, and subconsciously stood up: "I, Banser Landau, forgive me for not having been active in Lundan for many years. Who is your Excellency?"
"As expected, it's you. Have you forgotten? I am John, the priest of the Moonlight Church. We even drank together at that banquet." The man named John stepped forward enthusiastically and held Banser's hand tightly. He looked like he was meeting old friends.
Is there any?
Banser was not very clear, but this did not affect his sudden realization. Faced with the warm embrace of his old friend, he quickly chatted with him about the banquet that year.
Banser recalled the past and quickly figured out the reason for John's arrival. As expected, it was the forces assigned to him by the Queen to put pressure on Alston.
The Moonlight Church has recently settled in Lundan in a big way and is in the honeymoon period with the royal family. If the Queen invites them, the Moonlight Church will not mind sending a priest to help.
It's reasonable and there's nothing wrong with it.
"Hahaha----"
Banser laughed loudly, and the figure of his old friend John became clear in an instant.
Yes, we even drank together back then!
While chatting, Banser looked at Wayne from the corner of his eye. Seeing him lowering his head to eat the food without speaking, the smile on his face became even wider.
Gradually, the banser family's laughter increased.
"There are no rules at all in making noises. What about your table manners? Have you left them in the countryside?" Wayne put down his knife and fork dissatisfied, took the napkin handed by Mona, and wiped the corners of his mouth with great restraint. "I'm sorry, John and I haven't seen each other for many years, and I interrupted your meal out of excitement."
The sky cleared up and the rain stopped. Banser felt that he was doing well again, and he was much more humble in his words.
Humility often means self-confidence. The better people are, the more they know how to respect others. On the contrary, easily belittling others is actually a manifestation of people with low self-esteem looking for a sense of superiority.
Comparing the two, Banser felt like he was winning.
"Banser, I'm sorry to disturb you and your friends. This is a high-end restaurant. I was rude just now." John smoothed things over.
"It doesn't matter, they are all family members. Let me introduce them. These are my family members..."
Banser completed the introductions one by one, and finally it was Wayne's turn: "He is Wayne Landau, a Lundan noble, and he can be regarded as one of my juniors."
"Wayne Landau, I seem to have heard this name somewhere..."
John frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head: "Stop talking about this, Banser, I'm not here to eat. We'll contact you another day."
"Come to the restaurant and don't want to eat?"
"Well, the French food in this restaurant is very pure. They are all the best chefs in Lundan. The high priest of our church likes to dine here. Today we invited a distinguished guest. I want to go to the private room to check." John explained road.
Banser's eyes lit up. The Queen was very clever. In order to suppress the Tulip family, even the high priest of the Moonlight Church moved here.
Is it possible that the high priest's guest is him?
Thinking of this, Banser straightened up a lot.
At this moment, three women entered the hall outside the door.
The two identical-looking twins had excellent looks, and any one of them would be a beautiful woman. Together with the bonus of the twins, they instantly became the focus of the audience.
Unfortunately, the focus was only for a moment, and everyone's attention was attracted by the woman walking in front.
The woman is wearing a long white dress, her figure is graceful, delicate and pure. As she moves, the hem of the skirt flutters gently, as if the breeze is carrying a whisper, which unknowingly touches people's hearts.
Her long golden hair was tied up, and a black veil covered half of her beautiful face. Her skin was as white as snow, and her eyes were as clear as the traces of moonlight falling on the world. Only half of her face was exposed and she was already beautiful.
"Gudu!" xN
No one doubts her appearance, and the mystery of the veil makes her more noble and beautiful.
"High Priest."
John came to Philomena and whispered: "I met an old friend and chatted with him for a while, but I didn't have time to check the private room."
Philomena shook her head slightly and glanced at the Banser family. Suddenly her eyes lit up and she moved towards them.
This change in expression and the undisguised joy in his brows made the whole hall a little brighter.
Banser was ecstatic, secretly thinking that the queen treated him well and supported this big scene today, so he would be more confident against Auston in the future.
This is a stable rhythm!
"Ms. High Priest, Banser Lan..."
Banser's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and he watched in shock as the white-clothed figure passed by him, arrived at Wayne's side without looking back, and then...
Sit down.
Yes, sitting on Wayne's lap.
"It's so rare that you are not late today. I used to ask you to come out to have a meal with various excuses." Philomena complained again and again, not caring at all about her identity as a high priest and the increasingly horrifying looks of the people around her.
The legendary mage is somewhat crazy.
For example, Philomena has long wanted to make her relationship with Wayne clear, but Wayne has always disagreed.
"Don't make trouble, you are the high priest, so many people are watching!" Wayne patted his butt, asking Philomena to restrain herself.
Philomena glanced at the others with a raised eyebrow, then quickly looked away: "Where is there, why didn't I see it?"
As he said that, he glanced at Mona in displeasure and hummed: "Asshole, your secretary is getting more and more beautiful!"
This sour smell can be tasted even from a distance. The little woman's behavior is not as majestic as that of a high priest. She is clearly someone who has fallen in love...
Speaking of which, she is already a high priest, so she must be quite young, right? xN
Everyone thought this way, and then looked at Philomena's beautiful face hidden by the veil, and instantly firmed their stance.
Sister, I can do it! xN
"Go and wait for me in the house. I have guests here. I'll come find you after I'm done with them." Wayne glanced at Philomena, who snorted coldly and refused to do so. People get up.
"..." xN
Banther: ()
Is this the queen's arrangement? I'm afraid it's not... right?
Banser may not be as shrewd as Auston, but his IQ is definitely online. Thinking about his 'old friend' John at this time, how can he still not know who arranged it?
Why?
Why can Wayne give orders to the high priest of the Moonlight Church, and why do he make the high priest sacrifice so much? Is it the ability of the Landau family?
Banser hopes it is his ability. If not, there is no point in his coming to London.
The Queen found the wrong way to threaten Alston. This kind of high-end game was not something he, a down-and-out noble, could participate in.
"I really can't do anything about you, but forget it, it's not an important guest anyway."
Wayne stood up with Philomena in his arms and said apologetically: "Banser, the high priest and I have important matters to discuss. That's it for today. I'll invite you and your family to dinner another day. Just leave the bill at the front desk and wait. I'll pay for it later."
"Don't worry, I'll do it another day, it's not worth the money!"
After saying that, regardless of Banser's stiff face, he walked into the box with his hands on his slim waist.
Mona followed closely and entered the private room with the twins.
Outside the house is the gatekeeper John, a dignified priest of the Moonlight Church. Because of his gender, he is not even qualified to enter the house and sit down to eat.
If he didn't enter the house, it would be interesting to think about what was being eaten in the house and who was being eaten.
The crowd of onlookers, mostly men, showed their subjective initiative. They were all in a sad mood, muttering to themselves, looking sad as if they were visiting Wayne's grave.
Sensing the dissatisfied look in their female companion's eyes, they...
Not changed!
Still devastated, I just wish I couldn't take Wayne's place.
What should I change? Do I have the intention to change it now? xN
After a while, the onlookers remembered their mission, looked back with envy and hatred, and sympathized with the Banser family.
Give up, big cities are too cruel. If you want to gain a foothold here, you must have at least a high priest in your arms.
Before it's too late, pack your bags and go back to the countryside to work on the farm. At least in the cotton plantations you will be the winners in life.
They didn't bother to say hello to the loser's family and ended the dinner one after another. They didn't eat in vain tonight. They gained an important piece of information that could be sold for several high prices.
Regardless of the reasons why Wayne touched the butt of the high priest of the Moonlight Church, causing the high priest to act as if he was in love in public, regardless of his ability or personal charm, it was an indisputable fact that the high priest was held in his arms.
Faced with the Queen's centralization of power, the Landau family revealed a trump card. The heir Wayne had an affair with the high priest of the Moonlight Church.
Considering that Alston also had an affair with the high priest of the Church of Nature and adopted a daughter, they had already won two of the three major faiths of the Life Alliance in Lundan.
Of course, conversely, it can also be said that the two churches, Nature and Moonlight, took advantage of the Queen and successfully broke into the Tulip family.
But that's not the point.
Among the three major faiths of the Life Alliance, the Landau family has a close relationship with the two churches of Nature and Moonlight. What about the last church, the Sun Church? Do the father and son often go there for fitness and wrestling?
As expected of Auston, a well-known loyal minister in the Tulip family. He eats the queen's food, sleeps with the queen's food, and pulls up his pants. He is already so familiar with the Life Alliance.
The hall went silent, and no one in the Banser family spoke.
The juniors had no intention of tasting pure French food, and Banser, the head of the family, looked confused and tired, and he looked much older.
Jennifer supported her husband, with a sad expression on her brows, she opened her mouth not knowing what to say, and her eyes asked if she wanted to leave.
"Let's go, we're almost done eating."
Banser didn't answer directly. When he passed by the manager, he insisted on paying the bill himself. He looked at the private room and paid the bill for Wayne's house by the way.
It hurts, but this is his last stubbornness, and it is also the tuition he pays tonight.
Well worth it!
Auston opened his eyes to what it means to be a great noble with a profound foundation. Even without relying on the queen, the Landau family can gain a foothold in Lundan.
"Auston, you are too arrogant. I will convey these words to the Queen and add some personal opinions. Since you don't need the Queen, there is no need for the Queen to need you."
Banser's expression was sinister, and although his back was not as straight as before, he was still unwilling to accept it. From the perspective of the Tulip family, the Landau family under the leadership of Auston had crossed the line.
Is that the butt of the high priest of Moonlight Church? That is a slide that cannot be touched!
The stronger Alston becomes, the more the Queen needs him, and Banser represents the true loyalty of the Landau family.
This loyalty is enough for the Queen to make a choice!
"Auston, you shouldn't have revealed this trump card. You left the Queen with no choice."
