Mystery: I Can Transform Things from Books
Chapter 252 Prom
Chapter 252
Chris looked at Anthony standing behind the waiter, looked back, and asked:
"Why don't you let him show the invitation? Are you discriminating against me and doubting my identity?"
"No, sir..."
There was also a slight panic on the waiter's face, and he also realized that he seemed to have made a mistake.
"Then why do you want me to show you the invitation? Do you have the right?"
Chris tried to lower his voice as much as possible. If the voice was too high, it would attract more attention.
Fortunately, no one is looking at this place.
Anthony came over, deliberately pretending to be curious, and asked:
"What happened?"
His voice was not loud, but it attracted the attention of several young barons around him.
Anthony did this on purpose. Anyway, he no longer lives in Tingen and has no contact with Catherine, whom he once pursued. Naturally, he no longer needs to pretend to be hypocritical and help Chris.
Moreover, he did not believe that Chris was invited by Duke Negan.
I was lucky enough to attend this dance through some connections at Backlund Bank. The other party was just an ordinary person, so what qualifications did he have to be invited?
The more Anthony thought about it, the angrier he became, and he would use the most vicious words he knew to humiliate the other party.
He was just about to come up and say something to Chris when a nice voice sounded beside him.
"What happened?"
Audrey Hall walked up to a few people, put her hands behind her back, and asked with interest.
The servant showed a horrified expression, lowered his head, and replied tremblingly:
"Miss Audrey, Mr. Anthony suspects that this gentleman does not have an invitation."
Audrey Hall didn't even look at Anthony. She said directly to the servant:
"Do you suspect that your master would be foolish enough to let someone in here who is not invited?"
"No, of course not..."
The servant denied it repeatedly and did not dare to raise his eyes.
The housekeeper told them earlier today that among the important guests attending the ball were Earl Hall, his wife, and his daughter, Audrey Hall.
"All you have to do is provide services to the guests. As for the identity verification work, I don't think it's over long ago?"
When she said this, she had a smile on her face and her tone was very relaxed.
Audrey was not angry at all, nor did she have any intention of "hiding a knife behind a smile". She just observed the details of the servant's nervousness.
Chris looked at her and thought that what she meant was, "If you continue to be entangled like this, it will be Duke Negan's face that will be embarrassed, and this will undoubtedly insult other people."
He knew in his heart that Audrey must have recognized his identity, but he could not reveal the fact that he "knew" Audrey.
He could only regard Audrey as a warm-hearted and helpful person.
As for Anthony, when he watched Audrey come down from the corridor on the second floor, he was shocked and speechless.
As a banker, Earl Hall’s identity is clear to him:
"The largest shareholder of Bavart Bank, the fourth largest shareholder of Backlund Bank, the special advisor of Loon Royal Bank, and the third largest shareholder of Intissuchit Bank"
He also has a certain understanding of Earl Hall's daughter, Audrey Hall, who is known as "Backlund's most shining gem".
Just now during the opening dance, he noticed Audrey Hall who was shining in the audience.
Afterwards, although he was on the edge of the dance floor, he raised his eyes from time to time and peeked at Audrey.
As for Audrey, he naturally didn't have the guts to ask her to dance.
But when he saw those young barons, eager to try but lacking courage, he only found it funny.
This happy and relaxed atmosphere ended when he saw Chris' figure.But before he could humiliate Chris, Audrey came down in person to speak for Chris.
This is something he can't even imagine.
Anthony felt as if he had eaten animal excrement.
He silently walked away from this place of right and wrong and hurriedly walked towards the restaurant.
After the servant apologized profusely to Audrey and Chris, he hurriedly left the place.
At this time, Chris raised his head and glanced at the young barons on the stairs. Their eyes were almost burning, and they wanted to eat him.
"I apologize to you for that servant's reckless behavior."
Audrey looked at Chris, pretending not to recognize him, and said politely.
Chris thinks the current relationship between the two is very interesting: he and Audrey both know each other's identity, one learned it through observation with extraordinary abilities, and the other has known it for a long time.
And the two of them can't reveal the news that they know each other, which is very interesting.
But comparing the two, although Chris is already Sequence 6, he is the one who is under more pressure.
It is still somewhat difficult to hide one's identity in front of the extraordinary people in the "audience" path.
He came back to his senses, smiled and said:
"It's ok."
Audrey nodded, looked at Chris with a smile in her eyes, and said nothing.
She wanted to dance with the "hermit" and then use her extraordinary ability to observe him, but as a woman, she could not take the initiative to invite men.
Chris didn't understand what Audrey was thinking. He looked at her almost perfect face and was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of Qilingos.
The timeline has changed and Zillinges might be on the dance floor right now!
According to the original timeline, Audrey met the fake Baron Gramiel when she was walking to the corridor of the restaurant. After realizing something was wrong, she told her father, Earl Hall, about the incident, and then reported it to "The Fool".
hiss……
Chris gasped and could only hope it was not too late.
What should I do now?
He took a few steps out, frowning, and thinking nervously.
It is absolutely impossible for him to take action at the dance. Qilingos can only be killed by the Bone Messenger through the hands of Klein. This is absolutely impossible to change.
After receiving Audrey's prayer, Klein conveyed it to Alger and then wrote a letter to Mr. Azik.
Based on this, Chris discovered that when he entered the hall just now, Audrey had not yet walked to the restaurant.
In other words, there should still be enough time. Qilinges is at most on the dance floor now, and there will still be some time before he carries out the assassination.
But time is also passing quickly, and there is not much time left.
Chris turned his head and looked at Audrey.
"Sir, you seem very nervous." She stroked her blond hair on her shoulders and chuckled.
Chris secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He took the initiative to show some nervousness just now, and the other party really saw it.
At this moment, Audrey was also very nervous - the "hermit" came to the dance and was still a little nervous, which meant that Qilingos had already sneaked in here.
He was planning to assassinate Duke Negan at the ball.
Chris did not answer Audrey's question directly. He turned to look at the dance floor, then looked up at the corridor on the second floor. He turned back and said with a solemn expression:
"Something doesn't feel right to me."
