Mystery: The Returner of the Stars

Chapter 216 Miss Audrey, You Have Learned to Bargain!

On the second floor, Hastur and Audrey stood at the railing, overlooking the cat and dog below.

Seeing that Susie was imitating herself to walk gracefully, and showing off intentionally, Audrey couldn't hold back anymore.

"You know, Susie, well, it always likes to imitate, because it is very smart, so sometimes it will learn how to walk from me."

"I really didn't specifically teach it how to step its feet one after another, and what position the height of the feet should be."

Audrey's cheeks were slightly flushed. Seeing her trying to explain, it seemed more like she was confirming what she had taught Susie how to walk gracefully.

"Mr. Hastur, let's go inside and talk."

Audrey took a deep breath, pretending nothing happened, and calmly revealed what happened just now.

In his heart, he was regretting that he shouldn't have taught Susie how to walk gracefully on a whim.

Thinking of how she taught Susie to walk step by step at that time, she felt that her cheeks were going to burn.

"Susie is really smart."

Hastur gave a comment and led the way. When he came to the door of the study, he said again: "Susie walks so gracefully, Miss Audrey must have worked hard at the beginning, right?"

"..."

Audrey froze in place, and waited for Hastur to walk into the study for a while before she realized, trying to suppress her shyness, at least she was calm on the surface, and was not disturbed by that sentence at all.

"Mr. Hastur, your joke is not funny."

"Well, I'm just having a reasonable suspicion."

"You always do interesting things when you are young. Was Mr. Hastur always so calm and wise before?"

Audrey who calmed down answered this question generously, so as not to be too embarrassing.

Speaking of which, it was also an honor for the master to teach Susie to walk gracefully.

Seeing that Audrey regained his composure, Hasta had no intention of continuing this topic, and instead said: "I have recently obtained a new batch of Roselle diaries, but some of them have not been studied thoroughly, so I can only sell a few first. "

"can."

As long as the water flows, Audrey does not dislike this transaction method.

Hastur took out four Roselle diaries from the drawer and handed them to Audrey. Seeing her looking like a treasure, he felt a little guilty.

These four diaries of Roselle were all imitated by him at that time. There is not much specific content, but there are a lot of deeds about Roselle's love affairs.

I hope Mister Fool can hold on, anyway, he doesn't want to watch it a second time, so as not to pollute his eyes.

"Is it still the original price?"

Hasta was stunned for a while by Audrey's sudden huh. Is Miss Audrey, who is always proud, going to learn how to bargain with herself?

Hastur was silent for a while, and tried his best to choose his words: "If Miss Audrey is in financial difficulties, the price of each diary is not negotiable."

"What if I'm in a very, very difficult financial situation right now?"

"... 100 gold pounds for a Roselle diary?"

For the sake of Audrey's words, Hastur directly gave a [-]% discount.

"Mr. Hastur is really generous, yes, deal."

Audrey did not give Hasta a chance to repent, and directly finalized the deal.

Although he still earned 400 gold pounds, Hastur always felt that he had lost 400 gold pounds.

Seeing how readily Audrey paid, she didn't feel financially tight at all.

"I'm not lying to Mr. Hasta. A few days ago, I invested in a new project according to Earl Hall's arrangement." Audrey explained softly.

Hastur frowned slightly and said, "With the wisdom of Earl Hall, you shouldn't need to spend a penny of your own money, but directly ask the bank for a mortgage?"

"..."

Audrey's face was embarrassing, and her eyes were a little erratic.

She did invest in new projects, and she really didn't spend a single penny.

The reason why I said that just now is to enjoy the fun of making money from Mr. Hastur, although the money is hers in the first place.

Seeing Mr. Hasta staring at her all the time, Audrey pretended to be calm and said: "Mr. Hasta, I still have a literary salon to attend later, so I'm leaving today, and we can talk later when I have time."

"..."

What can Hastur say?

He could only send Audrey, who was obviously suppressing a smile, out of the study and down the stairs.

In the lobby on the first floor, Azshara, who was asking Susie for advice on how to be more elegant, was slightly stiff, shaking the black hair on her body, and ran to Hastur's feet, with her little feet resting on his trousers.

Hastur bent down and hugged Azshara, and Susie on the other side glanced at the indifferent Audrey with resentful eyes, turned around silently, and walked towards the gate step by step.

At this moment, its figure is full of vicissitudes and loss, as if countless stories have happened to it.

Audrey's eyelids twitched slightly, she knew that Susie's addiction to drama had come up again.

But it's okay, as long as you don't talk to it, it will return to normal after a while.

"Susie, Emperor Roselle once said: Life is an incomprehensible lonely journey, and only by learning to enjoy loneliness can we go further."

Hastur's voice made Audrey's heart skip a beat, and sure enough, Susie made a sound that was close to whimpering, and then walked out of the gate without looking back.

"..."

Audrey was stunned. She didn't know if these words came from the mouth of Emperor Roselle, but Susie, you are a dog, why are you so easily touched by people's words?
"Susie, she is really smart. She can easily understand what I say."

Hastur had a slight smile on his face, as if admiring Susie.

"Mr. Hastur, have you read "The Complete Collection of Quotations from Emperor Roselle?"

"No."

Hastur answered this question very honestly, he just said it casually, and then put Roselle's name on it.

Audrey didn't say much, and led the two personal maids away.

At the gate, Susie was lying on the ground, wagging her tail lazily.

Audrey wanted to laugh, but held back her smile, and pretended to be stern: "Susie, don't you want to enjoy the lonely journey alone?"

"Wang!"

Susie immediately got up from the ground, came to Audrey's side, and kept trying to please her.

The general idea is: Although the lonely journey is very good, I have Audrey to accompany me.

"Hmph, let's go."

Audrey raised her chin slightly, with a smile flowing from the corner of her mouth. It was really a happy afternoon.

After sending Audrey away, Hastur looked down at Azshara, who was pretending to be dead, stretched out a finger to tease its little head, and woke it up before saying:

"Didn't you learn how to walk gracefully from Susie just now? Come, let me see how you are learning."

"Meow."

"Don't deny it, I've seen it on the second floor."

"Meow……"

Azshara whispered, then took advantage of Hastur's carelessness and jumped into his arms, and fled.

……

At night, Hastur was about to go to bed, and when he came to the window, he found a line on the paper crane sent by Will: double the ice cream.

"Is there any good thing to tell yourself?"

Hastur understood the meaning of Will's words very well, took off the paper crane, put it on the palm of his hand, and went to bed to fall asleep.

In his sleep, Will appeared in a wheelchair and pushed the wheels forward by himself.

Hastur asked curiously, "Haven't you already been discharged from the hospital?"

"Wouldn't you be able to use a wheelchair after leaving the hospital?"

"Of course, do you want me to help you?"

"No, I can support myself."

Hastur laughed, walked over, pushed Will's wheelchair, and said, "Since this is the case, then you should be able to make ice cream yourself."

"There are free ones to eat, why should I waste my time on my own."

Will gave Hastur a blank look, as if wondering how he could ask such a question.

After chatting a few words, Will explained the purpose of coming tonight.

That Earl Gil, who has been overwhelmed by his unfilial descendants these days, is estimated to die in the hospital bed tomorrow night.

Tomorrow night is an opportunity to seize the extraordinary characteristics of the corrupted baron from Earl Gil.

"Although this is a bit immoral, I have been waiting for this day for a long time."

Hastur is in a good mood, and his Briberer potion has almost been digested. He only needs to take away Earl Gil's Extraordinary characteristics, then he can be promoted to Sequence 6.

"Didn't morality have been lost when you chose this extraordinary path?"

"Will, you are right, so I have decided that if you want to eat ice cream in the future, you can find a way by yourself."

"??"

"Because I have no morals, naturally I will not follow the principle of repaying kindness with kindness."

A black line flashed across Will's forehead, and he changed the topic and said, "I have another matter to discuss with you tonight."

"Will, you actually used the word "negotiation?"

Hastur's expression became solemn, but Will rarely talked to himself in such a tone.

"The thing is like this. I'm used to eating chocolate ice cream and strawberry ice cream recently. I want to change a few flavors. I heard that a rainbow ice cream is popular recently. Each color has a different flavor. I also I want to taste it."

"...This is the main purpose of your looking for me tonight, right?"

"You can't say that, it's an incidental reward."

Will smiled awkwardly, left a sentence saying that he remembered to deliver the rainbow ice cream, and then disappeared.
