Because he understood the meaning behind these words too much, Wayne could only remain silent.
Chris didn’t rush her and waited patiently.
After thinking for a long time, he answered -
"cannot."
"Why?" Chris asked who already had the answer in her mind.
"Even if you know that your privileged life is based on the efforts of others, even if you know that such a smooth life is too lucky to be reasonable...will you voluntarily give up this advantage?" The words without any concealment are like sharp blades.
However, under his relentless questioning, Chrissy's smile became genuine.
"I won't."
Wayne was not surprised.
"Yes, so for you, this is indeed an irreparable shortcoming. However, recognizing and admitting your own shortcomings is also a kind of maturity."
"No one is perfect in the world, right?"
Although it would seem a bit hypocritical to speak so nakedly, but realizing that each other's psychological activities are so similar, Wayne can subtly feel a sense of security as a group of similar people for warmth.
I always want to hold on to everything and don’t want to lose anything. As both travelers from different worlds, in a sense, he and Chris faced the same situation and would make the same choice.
The difference is that I am a little more extreme than her.
No, it's much too much.
Chrissy didn't comment on his reply, just nodded and officially left for the banquet.
Wayne sat on the sofa and thought for a long time.
As the most dazzling pearl city of the Kingdom of Lornes, the Royal Capital is also very prosperous at night, no less prosperous than during the day.
The streets are brightly lit, and cars and horses are constantly coming and going. People are keen on dressing up and having fun at large and small banquets, and this is the fashion of the royal capital.
However, the hustle and bustle is coming to an end, and the excitement will stop at eleven o'clock in the evening. No matter how hearty the party is, it will have to wait until the next day to continue. After the curfew begins, guards will regularly form groups to patrol various streets to prevent illegal activities.
Although it doesn't mean much to caring people, for civilians, the protection of guards can indeed improve public security a lot. Especially recently, the City Guards took the lead in organizing a special purge activity, vigorously publicizing the deeds of a group of rising stars represented by Ecos in punishing lawless elements. Under the shock of the iron fist, the number of young people has significantly decreased.
Wayne was wearing a trench coat and a high hat, leaning against the wall not far from the banquet location chosen by the Edgeworth family.
His face was hidden in the shadow of tall buildings and could not be seen clearly.
After a while, another man turned into this small alley.
"grown ups."
He bowed respectfully.
This person is none other than March, whom Wayne had rescued from Chapman Manor by extraordinary means.
March has been free for some time.
In his opinion, the person he saw was a secretive master of pharmacy. Poisons that were previously unheard of, and even magical potions that change appearance, this adult can easily access.
It was risky to work for someone who didn't know the details, but he had no choice. The situation in the royal capital was changing, Chapman lost power, and Bulwer regained power. Various gossips spread around the world, and he also inquired a lot about it. But the key person in front of him who had clearly broken into Chapman Manor seemed to have nothing to do with those events and was completely invisible.
Even with March's weak sense of smell, he could detect the unusual information behind this.
As the saying goes, wealth can be found in danger. Maybe, following this adult is your chance to stand out.
Under the brim of his hat, Wayne glanced at him without trace.
"How, have you met your sweetheart?"
Ma Qi's expression froze, slightly embarrassed. "She... and I are just friends."
Do you believe this?
Wayne
He chuckled, noncommittal.
The maid rescued with Madge claimed to be an agent of the Edgeworth family, and was previously handed over to Song Li for disposal. Wayne originally thought that Song Li would give her a sum of money on behalf of the Edgeworth family, allowing her to fly away and never return to the royal capital. Unexpectedly, in the end, she was given a new identity, working for the Edgeworth family— -Mainly she handles some affairs secretly.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he just arranged for March to meet the maid.
It's not that I want to fulfill their love as a concubine, but since I want to use this person, I have to make him care a little.
"You have already completed several investigative activities that I have assigned you. Now I have a more important task for you."
A document was handed to him, and then a slightly hoarse low voice came. "This is a new identity certificate and some information. Remember these contents, and then join the City Guard in this capacity."
Ma Qi was shocked when he heard this: "Sir, I..."
"Don't worry, just work hard when you get in."
As for what needs to be done in the future, Wayne did not say.
Ma Qi was very anxious and did not dare to refuse, so he had to take the document first.
"The interview will be in three days. Every record in it must be memorized and answered according to the above content. There will be no problems." After explaining, the figure in the black windbreaker gradually faded away and disappeared in front of Ma Qi's eyes.
Madge was the only one left in the empty alley. He looked around, wrapped the documents in his coat, and left in a hurry.
Not long after, the space in an open space fluctuated like a mirror, and the figure reappeared.
It was Wayne who had not left just now.
In this huge royal capital, it seems that I can have some connections with various forces, but it is a little inconvenient to mobilize the manpower of any party. In the past, he thought it didn't matter. If pushed hard, Ecos would take action, but now he can no longer act badly.
If you don’t lay down a few nails as early as possible and rely on yourself to fight alone, there will always be times when you are stretched too thin to cope with it.
Even if these little pawns never play a big role, it is enough to lurk down and collect some information for themselves.
He glanced at the lively banquet place in the distance. The Wenche family's carriage was already parked at the door.
After a while, Chris came out of the gate holding her skirt, and boarded the carriage with the help of the maids.
Wayne breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that this confrontation between Song Li and Chrissy did not cause any big trouble, otherwise Chrissy would not leave the scene so simply.
He set off quickly and returned first in his own convoy.
at home.
Although Wayne was mentally prepared for Chris to complain and criticize Ge Li, Chris never mentioned it after she came back, and it was impossible to tell whether she had ever had a quarrel with Ge Li.
"Ahem... did Song Li say anything to you?" Finally, Wayne couldn't help but ask.
