The second prince actually had such a strong reaction to Nightingale Club?
Could it be... no, he must know something!
Facing the second prince's question, Ma Wei acted very calmly and said calmly: "Yesterday when I was visiting the celebration, I heard someone talking about the club, and those people mentioned the name Nightingale Club. "
"Who is that person? What does he look like?"
"Hmm..." Ma Wei thought in sheep's clothing and described the appearance of an ordinary gentleman: "Wearing a suit and a hat, he is tall, thin, and has a beard."
"Could it be him?"
According to Ma Wei's rough description, the second prince Shukri thought of a person, a smile appeared on his face again, and his tone became gentle again: "Nightingale Club ranks high among many clubs in London. But, it’s a mysterious club that’s not open to the public.”
Gentlemen's clubs are probably a unique feature of the Kingdom of Windsor, especially in London. There are dozens or hundreds of clubs with different circles and levels.
The lowest level of the club, you only need to pay a membership fee to join, no recommender is required, and the members are uneven, and it is rare to see aristocrats and very wealthy gentry.
Slightly more high-end clubs require recommenders. For example, the oldest established white's club requires an annual membership fee of 1,000 pounds. At the same time, you must have 3 members of the club as your recommenders. Not only that, but also your background. , the identity will also be investigated, and all conditions must be passed before you can become a member of the club.
Some clubs are alumni clubs with obvious characteristics, such as the 'Oxford Alumni Club' and 'Cambridge Alumni Club', while others are hobby clubs, such as 'Equestrian', 'Literature', 'Shooting' and so on.
But the truly top clubs have no categories, they only have names.
White's Club, located on St. James Street, is one of the top clubs in London. Even King Rhodes IV was a member of the club. The other members are also rich or noble. They are definitely the top social circle in London. Ordinary people Can't even get through the gate.
It is worth mentioning that all traditional gentlemen's clubs do not accept female members. Women who want to enter the club must be accompanied by a male member.
The club will distribute jewelry with the club emblem to its members, such as rings and handkerchiefs, as a symbol of status.
If someone sees you wearing jewelry with the crest of a top club, they will be in awe, and of course, they may also feel hostility.
After all, the club is divided into social circles, and nobles in different social circles will always have people they dislike, who are not harmonious.
Not open to the public means that it is a private club. Ma Wei is even more curious about the boss behind Nightingale Club. Not many people dare to open a private club in London. You must know that although private clubs are mysterious, they will be subject to government restrictions. To prevent illegal terrorist activities, who dares to claim to be a private club without full confidence?
"Your Highness, as far as I know, there are only five private clubs in London. Is this Nightingale Club one of them?"
"Yes, the owner behind the Nightingale Club is Hilton Mobile. He is a businessman who runs a pharmacy business. He came to London twenty years ago and established the Nightingale Club.... My brother, Charles, is very familiar."
Upon hearing Charles, Mawe immediately understood why the second prince Shukri was so nervous.
The Nightingale Club is a place where members of the eldest prince’s camp gather. Those who can join them are probably members of the eldest prince Charles’ camp. It’s no wonder that the second prince Shukri is nervous. Ma Wei is a member of his camp, how can he join the big prince? What about camp clubs?
It seems like this....
Could it be that the 'Mr. Butler' who secretly helps the werewolf is actually a member of Prince Charles' camp?
Even if not, it must have something to do with Hilton Moby, the owner of Nightingale Club!
But Ma Wei thought about it again and found it very strange. The eldest prince Charles was very close to the church. The church and the ancient gods were incompatible enemies. The Free Society was the target of all the churches, unless the eldest prince Charles ate the wrong food. Yao, he doesn’t want to be the king anymore, otherwise he will never get entangled with the Freedom Society.
If the eldest prince Charles had not betrayed the Church of the Three Destinies, then Hilton Mobile had secretly joined the camp of the Ancient Gods, or he was the spy placed by the Ancient Gods' forces among London's upper class.
"Nicholas, if you want to join the club, I can recommend you to join the Moose Club where I am. The membership fee will definitely not be a problem for you. As for recommenders, in addition to me, Baron Frederick and Stuer can also help. Busy, this way, you will definitely be able to join the club." Second Prince Shukri took out a cigar from the box and said slowly.
Ma Wei readily agreed to the second prince's proposal. Joining the club meant that he could get in touch with the core members of the second prince's camp, and could also further draw closer to the second prince.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Ma Wei said goodbye to the second prince, declined his invitation to have dinner, and left Regent's Park with Yunia and returned to Flower Street.
In the evening, Lai Wen and Daniel, who went out to inquire about the news, also came back.
"Brother!"
Lai Wen and Daniel quickly ran into the store, closed the doors and windows, and then came to the kitchen and said to Mawei who was preparing dinner: "The investigation is clear! The boss behind the Nightingale Club is Sir Hilton Mobile. He lives at No. 33 Marie-le-Peau and is the vice president of the pharmacists union. He owns three pharmacies and has considerable influence."
So detailed?
"Where did you get the information?" Ma Wei turned around with the shovel.
"Brother, please don't worry about it. Anyway, I have my own way..."
"What kind of connection? Stop pretending. You are obviously going to find Miss Helena for information!" Daniel revealed the communication without mercy.
Ma Wei's eyes suddenly became strange when he looked at Lai Wen.
"You and Miss Helena..."
"Brother, don't get me wrong!" Laiwen said quickly: "I really have nothing to do with her! It's just that she has been the prince's lover for so long, so she must know some inside information, so I went to find her!"
"Did anyone notice when you and Daniel passed by?"
"Yes, Miss Helena's maid knows that we have been there...Should we hide our whereabouts?"
"There is no need to hide your whereabouts." Ma Wei said: "The eldest prince Charles originally wanted to give Miss Helena to you. Although I chose the second prince Shukri, that did not affect his choice. He wanted to use Helena Miss Na came to seduce you, and you just used her trick."
Lai Wen was stunned for a moment: "Brother, do you mean that I want to accept the advances of the eldest prince Charles?"
"Yes." Ma Wei nodded and said seriously: "This afternoon, Yunia and I went to the second prince's villa and asked about the Nightingale Club. The owner of the club, Hilton Moby, came Sir, is a member of the eldest prince’s camp. I joined the second prince’s camp and cannot have too much contact with them. You are different. You can use Miss Helena to get close to the eldest prince Charles.”
"You want me to pretend to be a traitor?" The messenger frowned: "Is this okay?"
"Not a betrayer, because you won't really betray me, but the eldest prince Charles can ask some insinuations about the second prince Shukri from your drunken mouth... Do you understand what I mean? ?”
"Oh!" Daniel's eyes lit up: "If the communication reaches the camp of the First Prince Charles, we can quietly reveal the information that should be disclosed to the First Prince Charles! He can also join the Nightingale Club after submitting the communication. , become a formal member and secretly investigate Sir Hilton Mobile!"
"That's it."
Ma Wei looked at Lai Wen and saw that he was still hesitating, so he couldn't help asking: "Aren't you willing?"
"....I'm just thinking about Miss Helena's feelings."
The source hesitated and said:
"If I deliberately get close to her, use her, deceive her... what is the difference between this behavior and the eldest prince Charles?"
