"Golden cup?"
Chen Lun took the golden cup from the faceless waiter's tray.
He examined the cup for a moment and saw that it was solid gold and worth a fortune, but the symbolism attached to it was even more valuable, for it was identification as a high-ranking member of the murder club.
Moreover, like an ordinary wine glass token, it has the function of summoning a messenger.
"Thanks."
Chen Lun held the golden cup and chuckled.
"Mr. Qiao Ke, the authority of the Gold Cup members is extremely high, second only to the 'Knights of the Round Table'. Not only can you accept any commission on the 'Commission Menu', but you also have a free opportunity to call for help once a month. You only need to knock on the Gold Cup three times to call on members of the Murder Club to come to your aid."
The faceless waiter explained to him very patiently.
"And the 'Wine Recycling Center' inside the club will recycle your wine at a higher price in the future, almost to the market price... Finally, you have the qualifications to submit a letter to the 'Knights of the Round Table', and your will will be seen by the Knights of the Round Table."
"Okay, I understand."
Chen Lun put away the gold cup, then took out four gold pounds and placed them on the tray.
"It's something worth celebrating, and the tip is doubled."
"Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Qiao Ke."
The faceless waiter bowed.
After it's gone.
Chen Lun continued to sit on the sofa in the study and think.
"The Knights of the Round Table? I only heard of them in my previous life. They should be the absolute top leaders of the Orthodox Church, and they are all high-ranking people... It seems that their high-profile actions during this period have attracted the attention of many people."
He smiled.
"But becoming a member of the Gold Cup directly is a bit unexpected... It's a good thing after all, it's one more card to play."
…
…
…
Two days later.
Miss Tracy came to visit in person.
"Lord Tracy, please follow me."
Floy said calmly, then turned and walked towards the main villa.
Tracy declined the two bodyguards' offer to follow him, whispered a word to the driver, and quickly followed Floy. The two walked slowly along the path of the winery, one in front and one behind.
"Well, Miss Floyd, please just call me Trill... that's what Mr. Jack calls me too."
Tracy said with a chuckle.
"Um……"
Floy simply responded.
Tracy seemed a little embarrassed. She felt that this girl seemed difficult to get along with.
He secretly glanced at the back of the blind girl in the black dress, and was secretly surprised at her temperament and appearance, which were better than countless women he had seen.
"Miss Floyd, I heard that you are Mr. Jack's sister?"
Tracy asked in a friendly tone.
"no."
Floy's answer was very concise .
"So you and Mr. Jack are...?"
Tracy was a little surprised and confused.
Floy stopped at the door of the main villa, turned slightly, and smiled :
"you guess?"
She raised her hands that were placed on her lower abdomen and opened the door.
"We are here. Please come in, Viscount Tracy."
"Um...thank you."
Tracy responded with a smile, then walked into the villa, still wondering if she had offended this young lady in some way.
Chen Lun was still reading in the study. He searched through all the books originally left in the winery, but did not find any mysterious books, and was a little disappointed.
After receiving the notification, he went downstairs.
When Chen Lun saw Miss Tracy sitting on the sofa and Floy standing beside her with a faint smile on her face, he felt something was wrong.
"Ms. Trill, welcome to Jack Winery."
He chuckled twice and walked forward to say hello.
"Mr. Jack."
Tracy immediately stood up, walked forward enthusiastically, and prepared to hug and kiss Chen Lun.
But Chen Lun was quick-witted and quick-handed. He grabbed the other person's shoulders and pulled him back to sit on the sofa. He then sat on the sofa opposite Tracy.
"Floy, why are you standing here? Come and sit down."
He turned to look at Floy and smiled.
Floy hummed lightly, but did not walk over immediately. Instead, she turned and went to the kitchen, made three cups of tea and brought them over.
"Thanks."
Tracy thanked him.
Her eyes roamed over Fuluo and Chen Lun twice, and she already had some guesses in her mind. The joy she had felt when she came here couldn't help but become a little depressed.
After putting down the teacup, Floy sat down next to Chen Lun, with her hands gently placed on her thighs. She looked quiet, like an exquisite doll.
Tracy retracted her gaze, took a deep breath, forced a smile and said:
"Mr. Jack, I came because there is news from the college area... the student named Francis has been found."
Chen Lun was a little surprised.
He didn't expect things to progress so quickly.
"Thank you, Trill."
Chen Lun thanked him and was glad that he asked Tracy for help.
Golov and his two companions are still a little weak and cannot take on all tasks.
After some communication, he got some information from Tracy.
It turned out that Francis' appearance was something of an accident, because this student was not a native of Peacock City, but a transfer student who had just come here from another place to study at Omto College.
According to Tracy, Francis seemed to be a distant relative of a board member of Omto College, and it took a lot of effort to successfully arrange for him to study at the college.
"No wonder I couldn't find this person before. It turns out he's a transfer student from out of town... I came a little early."
Chen Lun suddenly understood.
"But this is also good. I can keep an eye on him immediately. If I find any trace of the second opportunity, I can get it in time."
…
…
…
That afternoon.
Chen Lun then set off for the college area.
He planned to personally observe Francis and see what was so special about him. People who have opportunities usually have something extraordinary about them.
Maybe there are already clues now, and I can find the second opportunity through clues.
Chen Lun was still dressed like a gentleman, with his unchanging black hat and silver cane. He took a rented carriage to the college area and got off in front of the gate of Omto College.
After paying more than eighty copper crores for the fare, he looked around.
The entrance to Omto College is a huge stone archway, giving people a sense of heaviness and solemnity, with a tree-lined path on each side. The college area has a good environment, with a much higher degree of greening than other areas, and the streets are also very wide, giving people a sense of tranquility and comfort.
Students walked around in groups of three or four. They were between 17 or 18 and in their early twenties, full of youthful energy.
The academy district has grown to include more than just Omto College. There are four or five schools around it, all of which are universities. Therefore, the uniforms or badges on these students are more or less different.
But they also have something in common, that is, they basically all carry briefcases or hold books in their hands, giving people a feeling of excellent academic atmosphere.
Chen Lun walked straight into Omto University with his silver cane.
Passing through the huge arched door, he came to a main road with large lawns on both sides, clean and tidy.
Although he pulled down the brim of his hat, his temperament and handsome face that could not be concealed still attracted the attention of many female students.
These young girls are in the budding stage of love, and they always have a strong curiosity and yearning for handsome men of the opposite sex.
When they saw the young gentleman, they stopped unconsciously, stared at him with red faces, and even joked with their companions, instigating them to come forward and ask for his contact information.
'After possessing [Ultimate Beauty], the charm value reaches 40 points, which is basically equivalent to walking hormones... These mortal girls can't resist temptation at all.'
Chen Lun once again declined the two female students' invitation to date, glanced around inconspicuously, and sighed in his heart.
"Well, that's not the way to say it..."
He then noticed that in addition to the female students, there were even quite a few male students and two stray cats on campus, staring at him.
Seeing this, Chen Lun couldn't help but shook his head and immediately quickened his pace.
Following the guidance of the divination stick, he soon arrived at the college's football field. At that time, many students were exercising on the field. On the wide trapezoidal steps on one side, Chen Lun found Francis.
What surprised him was that besides Francis, there was another familiar face.
"Lucy, Lucy! Wait for me, don't walk so fast!"
A young man with short brown hair was holding a book and chasing after a beautiful girl. Both of them were wearing the blue and white uniforms of Omto Academy, but the girl's unusual appearance made this ordinary outfit look particularly pleasing to the eye.
Especially the long dark green hair and a pair of slender legs, which are like the finishing touches.
The enchantress Lucy had a look of impatience on her face. She seemed fed up with Francis' pestering. She sat down on the step seat, folded her elbows with her hands, and didn't even glance at the young man next to her.
"Whatever it is, just tell me now... and then stay away from me."
Lucy said coldly.
Her face was facing the football field, but her attention was obviously not on the group of boys who were sweating and trying to attract the attention of their female classmates.
"Hey, Lucy, look what I found..."
Francis sat down next to Lucy very attentively, and then handed the book in his hand to her as if presenting a treasure.
"This is a book I accidentally found when I went to the library today... It contains a lot of profound knowledge and secrets about this world."
Francis was eager to share the surprise.
"I bet that this author named 'Carmen' is definitely an unknown great man, just like the legendary hermit and magician, possessing extraordinary mysterious powers!"
"oh……"
Lucy curled her lips, not seeming to be upset.
She took the old book and asked in a lazy tone:
"So, did you learn any magic from this 'great book'?"
"Forehead……"
Francis smiled awkwardly and coughed twice.
"No...no, I don't understand it at all."
Immediately, he regained his confident expression and patted his chest and said:
"But if I am given some more time, I will definitely be able to uncover the secret! So I sincerely invite you, lovely Miss Lucy, to study it with me... I believe that in the end we can both possess that extraordinary mysterious power!"
Lucy looked at him with a strange look, and finally shrugged:
"I'll go back and take a look. If I'm interested, I'll get back to you."
After saying that, she stood up and left with the book.
Francis was left sitting there alone, his face flushed, watching Lucy leave with fascinated eyes.
But what he didn't see was.
After Lucy turned the road at the end of the football field steps, she bumped into a gentleman in a black hat, and then showed a look of surprise and admiration.
"Mr. Jack!"
