Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 77 Audrey and the Gangster
Backlund Department Store is one of the largest department stores in all of Loen. Two floors of this store are closed to the public and are only open to the nobility and wealthy.

After all, no matter how noble the nobles are or how wealthy the rich are, they all have the need to shop.

Audrey Hall went shopping in a department store with some good friends on Sunday afternoon.

When they said their goodbyes and Audrey returned to the carriage with her maid Anne and the big dog Susie, Susie suddenly felt uneasy.

It’s not Susie’s fault that she reacted slowly. There was a faint smell of perfume in the car, which had a certain impact on her sense of smell.

It didn't notice it when it first got on the bus, but when it lay on the carpet, it discovered there was a strange smell in the car.

Audrey immediately noticed Susie's uneasiness and asked, "Susie, what's wrong with you?"

"Wang!"

Audrey also noticed that there were a few tiny wrinkles on the carpet, which had not been there when they got out of the car.

So Audrey immediately smiled and said, "Annie, I decided to buy the mirror I just saw. We can go shopping again."

Just as she was about to get up and get out of the car, the movable door panel under their buttocks quickly opened, and Odysseus rolled out from inside, and instantly pulled out a gun, pointing it at the two people and one dog opposite.

The person in front of Odysseus was indeed the blonde, blue-eyed, extremely beautiful Miss Justice, with a pure and elegant temperament.

He sighed in his heart: She is indeed too beautiful.

Anne was startled and was about to scream, but Odysseus pointed the gun at her and said, "Don't scream."

Then he glanced at Susie and said, "You are not allowed to scream either."

Susie took a look at the revolver and nodded obediently, almost raising her dog paws.

"I have no intention of hurting you. I'm just avoiding an opponent." Odysseus smiled.

Yes, Chibman is someone who can be called an opponent.

At this time, there was a noise outside. Chibman was leading his men to search the house one carriage at a time.

Odysseus slowly slid onto the carpet and continued to point his gun at the people and dogs opposite.

Anne was terrified, Susie was trembling with fear, but Audrey remained calm and looked at the gangster in front of her with a smile on her face.

As a "mind reader", she had certainly realized that Odysseus had no ill intentions.

And she was very interested in Odysseus's purpose and the opponent he was avoiding.

This noble lady, who had been fantasizing about having her own great adventure, was experiencing such an exciting thing for the first time.

Someone shouted, "This is the Earl's carriage. Who dares to search it?"

Chibman and his companions really didn't dare to continue searching. To be precise, the organization he belonged to was established by the nobles, and their mission was to obey the nobles and entertain them.

Moreover, in Backlund, even Beyonders did not dare to offend the nobles easily.

The carriage slowly moved forward and drove out of the department store's parking area. Chibman and the others could only observe from a distance.

Anne seemed to react at this time. She was ready to rush down from the carriage and take the bullet from the gangster to alert the guards outside that there were gangsters in the carriage and Miss Audrey was in danger.

But Audrey stopped her first: "Don't be impulsive, Annie."

She knew that if Annie really rushed down, things would get very bad.

Odysseus slowly stood up and sat back in the chair across from them. "This lady is right. I will knock you out before you even touch the doorknob."

Anne took a deep breath and said, "Jesse must have been slacking off again. He didn't even notice someone sneaking onto the carriage.

"And the guards at the department store, didn't they notice anything?"

Jesse is the driver of the carriage.

Audrey thought to herself, "Because the person before you is a Beyonder, don't expect ordinary people to detect Beyonders' movements." Odysseus joked, "I'll be invisible, so they won't see."

He added, "Don't be nervous. I'll leave after we're a few blocks away."

Audrey asked curiously, "Why did they arrest you?"

"They wanted me to join their organization," Odysseus said honestly, "but I refused them."

Audrey seemed to understand something: "Is it a mysterious organization?"

"Not that mysterious," Odysseus replied. "If you use your family's channels and ask around at 155 King's Road, you can find them."

Audrey recalled that 155 King's Road seemed to be a fighting arena, where her brother Alfred in the southern continent had watched a match.

Then she asked, "Did they even threaten you with weapons?"

Odysseus looked down at his chest, seeing the wound caused by Eden's stab with the sharp knife. He smiled and said to Audrey, "You have good observation skills."

Although this knight's suit helped him block the two sharp knives, there were still some damages on it.

Hearing the other party's praise, Audrey suddenly felt that the gangster's tone, eyes and expression were somewhat familiar. In fact, she had this feeling since just now.

But when she thought about it carefully, she couldn't remember where she had seen such a person.

After taking a deep breath, Audrey continued to ask, not wanting to waste this "wonderful experience": "Why do you wear a mask?"

Odysseus smiled and said, "To protect you."

Audrey immediately understood and nodded slowly.

Annie, who was standing by, didn't quite understand: "Protect us?"

"Yes." Odysseus said, "For example, in this case, I wouldn't have to kill you to silence you."

Annie opened her mouth in shock, then said, "The person in front of you is Huo..."

"Okay, Anne!" Audrey immediately interrupted the maid. She knew that the gangster in front of her would not be intimidated by her father's reputation, and Anne's intimidation would only reveal more information about herself.

Odysseus praised again, "What a calm and rational lady."

He paused and continued, "If I remember correctly, the family crest on the car seems to belong to the Hall family."

Odysseus didn't recognize any family crests, but he knew that Audrey's father was Earl Hall.

Then he smiled and said, "I've long heard that Earl Hall's daughter is very beautiful, known as 'Backlund's most dazzling jewel.' But seeing her today, I realized that such praise is too conservative."

"Thank you." Audrey smiled. "I won't tell anyone that you were in this carriage, but in return, please tell me your name."

"Lelouch." Anyway, it was just a newly created identity. If any nobles came to cause trouble, it would be better not to use this identity anymore.

"Okay, Mr. Lelouch." Audrey smiled.

Then Odysseus looked at Anne who was standing beside him, and Anne immediately said, "I won't tell anyone else either."

"I believe you." Odysseus smiled and said, "If any noble comes to trouble me, I will sneak into the Earl's mansion and cut off your ears and nose while you sleep."

He stood up and said again, "Goodbye, ladies."

After saying this, Odysseus put away his gun and jumped off the carriage.

Audrey hurried to the car window and saw Mr. Lelouch quickly entering a church with the "Mechanical Holy Emblem" logo.
