Chapter 394 The Visit of ‘Troubled’ Cornerstone (Part )

"Please come in."

As two sets of footsteps came closer and closer, Ives hurriedly freed himself from the complex and unspeakable emotions. He silently exchanged glances with Alina on the sofa opposite, and then there was a look on his face. He responded calmly in the direction of the knocking sound.

"Good afternoon, nice to see you again, Master Ives."

The moment the door was opened, an elegant man wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, long brown hair, and dressed with a scholarly and aristocratic temperament immediately entered this ordinary-looking room under the leadership of the butler Wesley. In the reception room, he first bowed deeply to the young man on the sofa.

After doing all this, the visitor looked at the other figure in the room as if belatedly, and also solemnly saluted the sage assistant of the East District of Wind on the other side: "The same words are said. It applies to you, Your Majesty the Wind of the Suzuran."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Claude, I'm glad to see you again."

Without caring about the order of the other party's salutes, Alina immediately nodded to the visiting "Troubled" Cornerstone after obtaining the consent of Water Begonia beside her, and gestured with her eyes to signal him to take a seat as if he were in a superior position.
  "Master Claude, would you like tea or coffee?"

After the two guests in the room were formally seated, Ives followed the plan and asked the former mentor opposite him with a smile.

"Just a cup of black tea, thank you."

Claude answered simply.

"Wesley, prepare a cup of black tea for Lord Claude."

After receiving the answer, Avis nodded clearly, turned to look at Wesley, and gave the order.

"No problem, Master."

After bowing to the three people at a suitable angle, Wesley immediately exited the reception room, gently closed the door, and began to prepare the corresponding tea.

"I already understand the general situation. Could you please tell me what is the specific purpose of Master Claude's visit this time?"

Secretly rehearsing in your mind the way you are going to speak next, Avis gently raised the corners of his mouth and asked with a reserved smile.

"Three things. The first thing is that we want to make some adjustments regarding the follow-up cooperation plan of 'Language of Silence'. I want to discuss with you two about the part I am responsible for. This is what I mentioned in the invitation letter. Things already mentioned above.”

Seeing that neither of them showed any objection, Claude turned to look at Alina to the side, and spoke of the second thing calmly, "The second thing, my teacher, the 'Sky Witness' Sir, I would like to meet you during the afternoon tea time the day after tomorrow. I wonder if you are free during this time?"

"I can answer this question for you right now," without paying attention to the brief glance of the young man beside her. Alina, who was sitting on the side, simply reviewed her arrangements in the past few days in her mind and confirmed that they were correct. , immediately replied, "No problem, I have no other arrangements for that time period."

"I will convey it on my behalf."

"Where is the specific location? Will my side know it in advance?"

Not being fooled by the other party's polite bowing behavior, and finding that the other party did not mention the meeting place, Alina immediately raised her questions without hesitation.

"My teacher will personally send you a formal invitation letter regarding the specific location later. If you don't mind, please allow me to reserve my opinion for now,"

While speaking, Claude stood up, faced sideways, and bowed solemnly.

"No problem, I respect your decision, but what about the third thing?"

Unexpectedly, Alina slightly outlined the corners of her mouth, and once again gave an affirmative answer. "Thank you for your understanding," Claude bowed slightly again and saluted. Claude quickly sat back on the sofa and turned to look at the Water Begonia opposite. "The third thing, I want to..."

"excuse me."

Just when the 'Troubled' cornerstone was about to talk about the third thing, there was a restrained knock on the door in the reception room where the three of them were.

"Please come in."

Without a trace of hesitation, Ives immediately looked in the direction of the source of the sound and gave an affirmative answer after a brief apology.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the reception room where the three of them were was opened again. The butler Wesley held a small tray and placed three cups of black tea at a suitable temperature in front of the three of them.

"Go on, Master Cloud."

Without looking at the tea that was served, Ives looked back at his former mentor opposite, smiled and made an invitation gesture.

"The third thing," Claude paused, and then under the gazes of the two sage assistants, he took out an envelope with a gold edge and some complicated patterns on the seal from his coat pocket. , handed it to the young man opposite, "This is the invitation letter I gave you. I hope you can read it after I leave."

"I understand."

On the surface, he remained calm, but in reality, he accepted the envelope with the "Trapped" cornerstone identity mark engraved on it with complicated emotions. In the end, Ives said nothing and silently put the envelope aside.

"Let's talk about the first thing now, shall we?"

Seeing that the two matters, which were handed over to different people respectively, came to an end, Alina, who had not spoken during the conversation between the other two, immediately picked up the tea cup and drank the black tea in the cup, withdrawing her short stay on the 'difficult' cornerstone. With his eyes, he suggested in a deep voice just right.

"Ok, no problem."

Gently adjusting his glasses, Claude once again took out two letters with exactly the same style and pattern from his coat pocket and handed them to the two sage assistants at the same time.

"Would you like to see it now?"

Not paying attention to the fleeting strange feeling just now, Alina was too busy to get up when she saw the letter handed over by the other party. She reached out and took the letter with a sky background instead of a simple 'moon' pattern. At the same time, Ask directly again,
  "Yes, look now."

Claude answered without hesitation.

"Okay, then I also have a piece of information here. If Mr. Claude doesn't mind, you can take a look first."

Seeing that Elvis, who was relatively poor at adjusting emotions on the other side, had adjusted his emotions again, Alina felt relieved. She opened the space storage bracelet, took out the document bag she had prepared long ago, and handed it to her right hand. The cornerstone of 'difficulty'.

"Please allow me to express my gratitude in advance for your sincerity."

Seeing this unexpected scene, Claude couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

However, this impolite state did not stay with him for too long. He quickly calmed down his excess emotions, put on a polite and decent smile again, stood up and saluted the sage assistant whom Lord Ovid was not optimistic about... …
