Charles had to speak up and call Adele back.

The temporary butler was so scared that he was sweating profusely. If Adele went to ask him for her salary again, Charles was worried that the butler would kneel down and kowtow to Adele on the spot.

After all, this is just a small misunderstanding, and there is no need to put any more pressure on the other party.

"it is good."

Adele turned around and came back, sitting obediently opposite Charles.

The fact that Adele has lived this long without being cheated out of everything is largely due to the efforts of her sister Julis.

Speaking of Julis, Charles suddenly remembered and asked, "Has your sister returned to the Vatican?"

"is back."

Adele nodded and said, "I have to go to my sister for lunch at noon... Ciel, do you want to come with me? It seems like you haven't met my sister yet."

Yes, I have, but I can’t say whether your sister has seen it.

"I won't bother you anymore. Adele, thank you for making the potion for me earlier."

Charles reached out and took out five 20-pound notes from his pocket and handed them to Adele across from him. "This is your reward."

Adele looked a little disappointed after being rejected. She waved her hands repeatedly at the banknotes that Charles handed over: "It's too much, Charles... I didn't do anything, I just took it as a practice."

"Do you have money for food?"

Ciel asked, looking at Adele.

Adele: "Yes...right?"

Ciel: "How about next month's rent?"

Adele: "But..."

"Didn't you say you would listen to me from now on?"

Charles shook the banknotes in his hand and said, "Here."

"Okay...thank you, Ciel, you're so kind!"

Adele stood up, took the money handed to her by Charles with both hands, and bowed deeply to Charles.

Adele...did she forget that she still had over a hundred pounds with Avina...

But that amount of money is probably already negative - because Adele's rent was also paid by Avina.

"correct,"

After receiving the money, Adele seemed to remember something. She looked at Charles and said, "Charles, we need to buy new equipment to set up a new laboratory... Where do you think I should buy them?"

This is a question that Adele has been struggling with for a long time.

Before, she had purchased all her instruments at low prices from the Redemption Society. Even after she left the Redemption Society, the Redemption Society did not come to take the instruments away.

But this time she came to Ansu in a hurry, and Adele couldn't pack up all the instruments and take them away. She only took away the more important materials and all the reagents. The rest of the things would probably be cleared away by the landlord after the rent expired.

Because Adele had promised Charles that no matter what important matters she did in the future, she would have to discuss it with Charles first, so Adele thought that buying equipment was such an important matter, so she had to ask Charles first.

"Want to buy some equipment?"

After thinking for a moment, Ciel said, "Give me a list of the instruments and materials you'll need."

Now is a sensitive time point. After the explosion of the Ansu Royal Medical Society, an individual extraordinary person suddenly purchased a large number of experimental instruments. It is hard to say whether this will arouse the vigilance of the Royal Music or the Queen's Sword.

She needed a supply channel that the other party couldn't investigate, and giving it to Lucy would be much more covert than buying directly from the Redemption Association.

It seems that after what happened last time, Adele has changed, and the child still listens to advice.

In the remaining time, Adele and Charles talked briefly about the next research ideas. Now Charles can use his professional knowledge to understand what Adele said.

After confirming that there was no problem, Charles said goodbye and left Adele's new home.

After visiting Amy on the way, Charles headed towards Lucy's mansion with the list given by Adele.

When passing by the Church of the God of Order, Charles had the carriage take a slight detour and pass through a private park nearby. Deep in the park was Avina's family cemetery.

After letting Tara wait in the carriage for a while, Charles got off the carriage directly.

As soon as he got off the car, Charles saw the gravekeeper standing at the park entrance. He had been guarding the grave all day and all night and had dark circles under his eyes, but he seemed to be waiting for someone. When he saw Charles walking towards him, he subconsciously took a step back.

"Uh... Miss, please stay. The area ahead is private."

The gravekeeper stood trembling in front of Charles.

For some reason, whenever he looked at the eyes in the hollow of the silver chip mask, an uncontrollable fear would surge in his heart.

Charles raised his hand and took out a silver coin - it was a one-shilling piece.

"Heads or tails."

Ciel looked at the gravekeeper and spoke.

"what?"

The gravekeeper was stunned.

"Heads or tails?"

Ciel repeated the question.

"The other side..."

The gravekeeper then reported it, and in his heart he was just begging the girl in front of him to leave quickly.

Charles gently flicked the silver coin into the air, then reached out to catch it, unfolded the coin, and pointed the back of the coin towards the sky.

"Congratulations, you won."

Charles pulled out a 50-pound note and handed it to the other party, "This is your reward."

The gravekeeper looked at the silver coins in front of him, his mouth slightly widened. He subconsciously reached out to take it, but was afraid that this was some kind of conspiracy... The money was too much, and it came too easily.

At this moment, the gravekeeper and Charles heard footsteps coming from the park almost at the same time. The gravekeeper gritted his teeth, took the banknotes handed to him by Charles, stepped aside, and whispered: "The Duke is about to come out, His Excellency, please leave quickly..."

Duke?

Charles Russell? Avina's father?

He's also a troublesome person... It's better to avoid him during this sensitive time.

But just as Charles was about to turn around and leave, the Duke's figure walked out from the corner of the green wall, and their eyes inadvertently met.

Fortunately, the gravekeeper had already stuffed the money into his pocket.

Deton's silver chips?

Charles' face was tense. He just glanced at Charles' mask, but when he looked into the girl's pupils, he felt an inexplicable palpitation in his heart.

This is not normal.

It is counterintuitive that nothing that looks ordinary can cause a level 4 transcendent to have such emotions.

Charles, who was originally planning to walk towards the carriage nearby, stopped and quickly looked at the girl in front of him.

Red hair... young... slightly taller than my daughter, and a member of the Deton Group.

Is that the guy who came into town with Avina?

At this time, Seraphim, who was following Charles, also noticed Charles standing at the door.

"It's you?"

Unlike Charles, Seraphim confirmed Charles' identity the moment he saw his red hair.

"Your Excellency, she is the person I mentioned before, who is next to the young lady."

Seraphim took two steps forward and whispered in Charles' ear, "She seems to have a close relationship with Lucy from the Deton Group. It was she and Lucy who stopped me from inviting the eldest lady back before."

Seraphim reported to Duke Charles in front of Charles without any scruples, as if he wanted to use the Duke to make Charles suffer.

"Avina's friend?"

Charles' face was expressionless. He looked at Charles and nodded slightly. "I'm very relieved. Even though Avina left Anzu City, her level of friendship remains unchanged."

The Duke had already stopped, and it was no longer possible for Charles to leave.

"Charles."

Ciel bowed his head slightly, bent his right knee slightly, and curtsied, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency."

Just from Charles' simple words, Charles could probably feel some of Charles' character.

This is a very old-fashioned aristocrat with a strong desire for control.

"Is Miss Charles planning to meet someone here?"

Charles didn't seem to be planning to leave, and he started chatting with Charles right away.

"No, I just saw a bored guy here, so I got out of the car and played a coin bet with him."

Charles replied half-heartedly, "I lost 50 pounds."

"That's really unlucky."

Charles took out his antique golden pocket watch, glanced at the time, and said, "I'll invite you to my house for a chat some other day. I'm in a hurry to go to a meeting now... Seraphim, let's go."

Charles and Seraphim boarded the carriage one after the other. After the carriage had gone far away, Seraphim, who was sitting opposite Charles, spoke:

"Sir Charles, why don't you just arrest her? The young lady has already been bewitched by her. Didn't you see the look in her eyes? Just one look at her gives me the creeps!"

Charles just closed his eyes and ignored Seraphim's words.

Arrest people directly?

How could an ordinary person reach the silver chips? How could an ordinary person behave dignifiedly when meeting the Duke? How could a simple glance from an ordinary person cause a Level 4 to palpitate and a Level 3 to stand on end?

Charles would not take any action before finding out the other party's background.

Moreover, his energy is now completely focused on Qiang Yin, and he cannot be distracted to do anything else.

Qiang Yin has been making a lot of small moves these past two days, and it seems that he is looking for someone... but he doesn't know who exactly he is looking for. Charles wants to figure this out.

After all, at the royal private lunch that day, Qiang Yin's performance was too suspicious...it always gave people a bad feeling.

Fortunately, Charles had already recorded the scars on Qiang Yin's face.

I just don't know what the reason for Qiang Yin's urgent meeting is...

Meanwhile, in another carriage.

Charles breathed a sigh of relief only after Charles' carriage had gone far away.

She came to the private park just to fulfill the promise she made in the simulation. Who would have thought that she would meet Duke Charles here by chance? If she had known that Duke Charles would be here, she would definitely not have taken this detour.

Fortunately, Charles didn't seem to have any interest in why she was here, as if something more important was waiting for him.

I can only say that it’s a good thing that I met only Charles and not Qiang Yin… The West District is still a little too small, and you can run into acquaintances even when walking down the street.

In the remaining time, Charles came to Lucy's house, handed her the list of equipment Adele needed, and confirmed with her the current condition of her sister Lizzie - she wanted to send Lizzie to the Redemption Sanatorium in Bliss City - without staying long, he left directly.

Charles was worried that if he stayed any longer, he would meet someone he shouldn't meet.

Charles's last destination was her new house, which was slightly closer to Amy's and the price was about the same.

At this time, Charles' house had been almost cleaned up. After confirming Charles' identity, the butler at the door called the other maids together and introduced them to Charles one by one. He also asked them to say hello to Charles and get to know his new employer.

After Charles walked Tara for a bit to familiarize himself with his new house, he finally walked into the room, leaned back in his chair, and sighed softly.

In the simulation, Ciel personally approached Lizzie to discuss treatment, but in reality, Ciel did not go there himself, but instead let Lucy handle the entire process.

She knew Lucy could handle it, but at the same time, Ciel wanted to minimize contact with Lizzie.

Lizzie is just an ordinary person, but now she has been deeply involved in the supernatural power... At least until this matter is settled, Charles will not look for Lizzie again.

Charles also knew that doing so might seem a little heartless to outsiders, but there was no other way - it was simply too dangerous to stay with Charles.

If you make a mistake in reality, there is no chance to make up for it.

"Tara, come here."

Charles waved to Tara and asked her to come to him.

"Lord Ciel."

Tara took two steps forward, stood beside Charles, lowered her head and asked, "What do you want to see the servant for?"

"There's something I'm going to ask you to do."
