Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 30 They Can’t Hear

Klein and Mike were first taken by a waiter to a reception room on the first floor. After sitting there for a few minutes, they were invited to the third floor by another waiter.

On his way to the stairs, Klein saw the huge ballroom on the first floor.

The roof of the first floor was opened up, and a gorgeous and huge chandelier hung from the top of the second floor. This structure made the ballroom look big and tall, and the murals and decorations even gave people a sense of art.

Klein sighed. Although it wasn't as luxurious as the aristocratic ballroom, it still gave people a very classy feeling.

This should be the favorite of the middle class. It feels decent to spend money in such a place.

Even if they want to take care of the business of street girls, they hope to go to a more decent place.

The ballroom was deserted at this time, with only some waiters cleaning.

On the sofa in the ballroom, two or three girls were chatting and laughing. When Klein and Mike appeared, they all looked at the two men with smiles.

Klein suddenly had the same feeling as when a girl looked at him in school.

Mike also sighed: "It really feels different here."

Klein also nodded.

We followed the waiter all the way to the third floor, where the decoration was even more gorgeous, and there were entertainment areas such as squash and billiards, as well as a dining area, a cafe, etc.

Of course, there are also warmly decorated rooms here.

The two were led to a small reception room where Mandy was already waiting. She stood up from the sofa and said sternly, "Glad to meet you, both of you."

In addition to Mandy, Enoch was also there, but he did not stand up. Instead, he looked at the two guests with a gloomy face.

He came here today just to intimidate people, no need to say anything.

As soon as Klein entered the room, he looked towards the inner wall. He felt a pair of eyes watching him and Mike from inside.

Mike also said: "Nice to meet you, Ms. Mandy."

Mandy gestured for everyone to sit down, and after they all sat down, Mandy asked Mike, "Have you ever heard of the 'Nanmu Ballroom'?"

Mike said honestly: "I don't really understand."

Mandy said seriously, "Then why did you write reports that could easily lead to misunderstandings?"

Mike was originally very calm, but when asked by Mandy, he suddenly became a little uneasy: "I... I just reported the facts, there is no slander."

Klein sighed inwardly: Unknowingly, the initiative of this conversation has been in the hands of Ms. Mandy.

This is not some extraordinary method, just ordinary rhetoric.

But the cold gaze of the vicious man beside him and the powerful aura of Ms. Mandy made the experienced Mike affected by the atmosphere in the room.

As Mike began to explain and saw him becoming increasingly uncomfortable, Klein cleared his throat and said, "Since Mr. Gar is here, why don't you come out and talk to us in person?"

Mandy was slightly stunned, and her conversation strategy was instantly interrupted.

Just as she was about to deny it, the inner wall slowly opened, and Odysseus stepped out from the secret door. "Originally, there was no need for me to talk to this reporter Mike in person, but you are different."

Klein was slightly startled, realizing that Mr. Gar had discovered that he was a Beyonder, and therefore was being treated differently. Then, he felt that this "Mr. Gar" gave him a very familiar feeling.

But because the other person was wearing a mask that only revealed his mouth and chin, and he didn't know where he had seen it before, he could only wait until he had time to do divination.

At this time, the four people in the room stood up. Odysseus came and sat down opposite reporter Mike, and Mandy and Enoch quickly stood behind him.

Odysseus opened the cigar box on the coffee table, picked up two cigars and threw them aside: "Have a cigar."

The ability of "Combat Scholar" allowed Odysseus to control the strength accurately, and one of the cigars fell steadily into the hand of reporter Mike, even between his index and middle fingers.

Just as the other cigar was about to enter Klein's hand, he used a clever "magician's" technique to flick it lightly, and the cigar flew back into the cigar box: "Sorry, I don't smoke cigars."

Odysseus seemingly casually waved his hand and threw the cigar back at Klein: "Have a smoke."

Klein was about to flick away the flying cigar again, but this time the cigar seemed to come alive. Just as it was about to touch Klein's hand, it suddenly turned and didn't hit his outstretched hand, but fell right into his palm.

The fight happened very quickly, and by the time Mike and the others reacted, it was already over.

Just now, when Odysseus was hiding in the dark room and realized that Klein had looked at him many times, he knew that he must have noticed his presence. After all, the "Fortune Teller" was also a Beyonder with a relatively high spiritual level.

If it was "Odysseus, the owner of the herbal medicine shop", he would be discovered, but now Odysseus is "Mr. Gar" who has a gray industry. Even if he is discovered, he will come out openly, and it is reasonable to give the other party a warning.

Klein felt the immense pressure emanating from "Mr. Gar" and understood his intention to intimidate him. He certainly wouldn't confront him head-on on someone else's turf, so he put away his cigar and said, "I'll take it back."

It was then that he suddenly thought: Our fight just now felt a bit like the contest between masters in martial arts movies... Haha, Mr. Gal must be an extraordinary person who is good at close combat.

After knocking on the "bodyguard" and making Mike feel a huge pressure, Odysseus said to Mike while cutting a cigar: "Mr. Reporter, I have read some of your reports, and they are very profound.

“But I really want to ask you a question: your report has attracted some attention, but has it solved the actual problem?

"For example, the poverty in the eastern suburbs, and economic policies that are becoming increasingly unfriendly to the middle class."

After Odysseus cut the cigar, Enoch immediately bent down and slowly lit it for him with a lighter.

As the owner of a herbal medicine shop, Odysseus always smoked tobacco that he roasted himself and added some herbs to it. When he was the "leader" of the Occult Research Society, he always smoked rolled cigarettes.

As "Mr. Gal," he smoked cigars.

Different clothes have been scented with different smells of smoke, and this is just one of the details.

Of course, it is mainly because Odysseus gives these three characters different temperaments.

So the herbalist Odysseus, Mr. Gal, and the "leader" appear to be three different people.

Pressured by the aura of "Mr. Gal," Mike answered honestly: "Some of the problems were solved, but most of them were not."

Odysseus took a puff of his cigar and gestured to Mike and Klein to sit down. "Mr. Reporter, I know you are a journalist with a strong sense of professional ethics and have done a lot to help others.

"But you can't solve the problems of poverty in the East End and the miserable fate of streetwalkers, because the people who pay attention to your reports don't care about the fate of the poor and streetwalkers!"

Mike was slightly stunned, and suddenly felt like he had grasped the key to the problem!
