Varina took a step closer and said:
"Warden released the news that he was personally keeping the jewelry. This was a gesture of bowing his head. Correspondingly, Mr. Roger, I have also designed a gesture of acceptance."
"This is what I mentioned before. I need a little cooperation from you, sir."
Roger raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Oh? Then what should I do?"
"It's very simple."
"It's very simple," Varina said with a smile: "You only need to prepare an afternoon tea party and invite Varden to attend, which will send a very obvious signal."
"Right, that is it!"
Roger raised his right hand and made a fist-swinging motion, "Your suggestion is great, I'll do as you say."
“I can’t wait to see Varden’s face at tea.”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and waved to the butler in the distance.
Waiting for the butler to approach quickly, he ordered:
"Tomorrow afternoon, I'm going to hold an afternoon tea party. Well... let's set the theme as jewelry appreciation. You can draw up a list of invited guests to me as soon as possible, and then send out invitations."
"My request is that among the guests there must be Varden Gramiel, a reporter from the Daily Observer, and Mr. Alucard, the jewelry designer."
"Yes, sir." The butler bowed slightly, took two steps back, turned around, and left quickly.
At this time, Roger remembered that Varina beside him had no arrangements.
After thinking about it, he took off the opal ring on his left index finger and handed it to Varina.
"I'll lend you this, and I'll give it to you. If you show it tomorrow, you can attend my afternoon tea."
…
In the afternoon, in the Hillston area, in another garden villa.
The gray-haired old butler took the afternoon tea invitation that had just been delivered and reported the news as soon as the young master took a nap.
This news made Varden, who was still a little anxious, suddenly excited.
"This Lexa really changed Roger's attitude!"
"He's really good at persuading people."
After a night, Varden had already come to his senses and felt that he had been a little too trusting in a strange bounty hunter last night.
But the invitation letter did appear as he promised.
This once again dispelled the suspicion that had begun to grow in Varden's heart, and even after repeated repetitions, his trust level increased.
He began to look forward to the bounty hunter's visit again so that he could hand over the key prop - the piece of jewelry designed by the master - as agreed.
This is a necessary step.
During afternoon tea, if this piece of jewelry was taken out of his hand, it would not be reconciliation, but a slap in the face.
With Roger showing his good intentions in advance, this kind of thing must never happen!
Bounty hunter Rexxar is the best choice.
At the deadline of the bet, when Roger was about to lose, he took the initiative to hand over the jewelry to the bounty hunter entrusted by Roger, and reached a settlement tactfully, which would surely release the greatest goodwill.
But here comes the question, where has this Lexa gone?
Why haven't you come yet?
Walden had been thinking about this person since the afternoon, but he waited until night and still didn't see half of him.
No man has ever made Varden worry about him for so long.
Varina did it.
…
Varina went to the East End in the afternoon.
The bounty task of building an identity image is getting better and better, and the only thing left is the perfect ending. What he needs next is to get closer to, or even get into the commission of the workers.
Taking advantage of his free time in the afternoon, he visited several bars in the East District.
There are many incidents that can be exploited, but they are all limited to individuals or a small number of people, which is inconsistent with his plan to quickly build reputation.
In the end, Varina found a suitable intervention point in the dock area where he was most affected -
Many workers in the dock area have spontaneously united to demand unpaid wages from the dock union.
They have appointed representatives and are negotiating with the new president of the union, the new boss of the Dead Eel Gang.
Varina was not optimistic about their attempts.
This is also described in the original work, where workers go on strike and entrust representatives to negotiate with factory owners, but the final result is that the representatives are bribed by the factory owners;
They cooperated and recruited groups to attack groups. They easily divided the striking workers and solved the problem.
If this is the case with this salary-demand incident, then Varina has an excellent opportunity to enter.
Of course, if not, it doesn't matter much.
The East District is so big, as long as you wait a little longer and search patiently, similar opportunities will always appear again.
…
At night, full moon night.
Varina arrived at the Brave Bar at just the right time.
After this month of getting along, he and Maric were already very familiar with each other.
The two sat opposite each other, neither of them speaking.
Varina was flipping through the Temperance sect's Holy Scriptures, wondering when he would be fully trusted and able to learn deeper occult knowledge from here.
For example, he really wanted to take a look at the "Book of Secrets" that was finally given to Klein.
Compared with the horizons he opened through the original novel, Wariner's current knowledge of occult knowledge is still too little.
And without enough occult knowledge, he couldn't figure out what was special about him.
Soon, midnight comes.
Varina connected Maric with a living corpse like last time.
This time, the living corpse only acted a little impatient and did not jump up like last time.
Beyond that, Wariner felt differently.
The rate of loss of spirituality has been greatly slowed down. In addition, when he was promoted to Sequence 8, his spirituality increased greatly. Warina felt that it would not be a problem for him to hold on for half an hour.
Of course, this doesn't make sense to Maric.
Because he is still only willing to accept help for 4 minutes.
…
On the 13th, it was around eight o’clock in the morning.
Varina rushed outside a garden villa in Hillston District. , rang the doorbell.
This is the residence of Baron Gramiel.
After being informed by the servant, Varina met Varden under the leadership of the old housekeeper, also in the garden.
The young man seemed to have not slept well last night and was still yawning.
Varina exchanged a few words with him and showed him the ring Roger gave him, which dispelled the doubts that had just arisen in his mind and successfully obtained the piece of jewelry.
Only then did Varina truly take control of the incident.
Along with the jewelry, there was also a thick envelope, which obviously contained a reward of 300 pounds.
Varina collected the bounty, stuffed the large jewelry box into his arms, and said goodbye.
Affected by the "charm" ability, both Varden and Roger overlooked one point. If Varina took the opportunity to run away at this time, the benefits would actually far exceed all the bounties.
Of course, Varina is not an ordinary bounty hunter. He has other purposes and will not really run away.
