Mystery: Mr. Witch and Miss Hunter

Chapter 244 Slaves, Champagne, and Homomorphic Revenge

"So, you were also a man before?"

Although there are no unwritten rules for questions like this in the social arena, any Loen gentleman who has a basic understanding of social etiquette should know that this kind of question itself is a great offense to the other party.

Yet Solar Gawain didn't care.

Compared with before, Solar Gawain seemed to be a different person.After coming out of the brightly lit banquet hall, he almost forgot all about etiquette.

However, Adele felt a lot more relaxed.After all, he'd been dealing with all sorts of bad manners for most of her life on the East Side.

"To be precise, it was a month ago."

Adele said directly without any psychological burden.At the same time, she turned around so that she could look at Gawain's features more clearly.

The knight in front of him was about thirty years old, with blue eyes and golden hair.He was wearing a luxurious white dress. Even a single wrinkle in the expensive fabric would make people feel distressed, but now he leaned against the railing without any scruples.

"Looks like you've seen other witches before."

Now that the two had already spoken, Adele didn't need to deliberately try to please others, so she spoke straightforwardly in a declarative tone.

"Yeah, you really left a deep impression on me." Solal smiled sarcastically, "In the beginning, every beautiful woman I saw had to check carefully whether she was Witch, all the maids in my house thought I was crazy."

"It's a sad experience, but to be honest I don't have much sympathy for you."

Adele dismissed it lightly, and continued to ask: "So, what was the situation like at that time?"

"Do you like to ask questions so much?"

Solar scratched his hair irritably, "I've already talked to Miss Hall, and she also promised that as long as I cooperate with you, I won't be held accountable for similar issues..."

"But I still want you to tell me in person."

Adele grabbed Solar's wrist and insisted on her opinion.

"You guys are more annoying than all the long-winded women I've ever seen put together." Solar said angrily.

"Maybe it may be difficult to understand based on your level of mastery of social etiquette, but we generally call this kind of behavior reciprocity."

Adele fires back with bitter words, and the two confront each other.

"Also, although you have tried your best to behave like those arrogant priests in the Church of the Storm's caricature of the Church of the Eternal Sun, but this does not dissuade me from understanding these things."

Adele gently pushed back the hair that fell to her ears, "After all, I'm quite experienced in dealing with guys who are more annoying than you. It's just that this level of rudeness can't make me Get out of trouble."

The eyes of the two collided in the air, almost sparks.

After a while, Solar still gave in.

"Although I don't know what kind of life you usually live, I still have some sympathy for you."

Solal sighed, "Let me tell you first, this story is not as interesting as you imagined."

"My family once supported George III and cooperated with the 'Nightingale of Despair'. After the accidental death of George III, we were pushed out of Backlund's aristocratic circle, and we could only be kept in Constant's family. survived."

"Ever since the slave trader Capin was murdered by the thief 'Dark Emperor' and 'Mad Captain' Connors Victor was murdered, my father started to leave the center of political conflict. The family survived."

"In other words, your family was also involved in human trafficking in the colonies?"

Adele said without emotion.

"Hey, of course." As if sensing the change in Adele's attitude, Solar said without any guilt: "In various senses, my family has experienced similar things."

Before Adele realized the meaning contained in this sentence, Solal pointed to his face, motioning Adele to look at him.

"It doesn't look like a Loenian, right?" Solar smiled sarcastically, "My ancestors arrived in the southern continent because of shipwreck, and then they were sold as slaves to Loen as cannon fodder by the people there. Only when meritorious deeds have been established, can a knighthood be obtained."

"After the Kingdom of Loen occupied most of Balam, my family has been doing a similar slave business, specializing in buying and selling the natives of the Southern Continent, and it didn't stop until my generation."

Sir Solar stretched out his finger to Adele, and Adele inexplicably felt that he was as dazzling as the sun.

"Of course you can use conventional moral concepts to accuse us, but if those ancestors were asked to choose again, I'm afraid they would make the same choice. This is holy homomorphic revenge."

Seeing that Adele was silent, Sir Solar gradually calmed down.

"Father only found out about Backlund's affairs and the connection with those slaves later, and it was only then that he decided to quit."

Sir Solar put out the cigarette butt in the flowerpot, and straightened the wrinkled dress.

"I heard from Ms. Hall about the cooperation. You can contact me directly after Conston's related matters. The Gao Wen family plans to buy 10% of the shares of Queen's Island Company. This data has been passed by Ms. Hall's actuary Confirmed, you can rest assured about this."

As he spoke, he somehow conjured up a contract and a pen and handed it to Adele.At the end of the contract is painted a mysterious golden symbol.

"Is this your ability?" Adele signed and handed the contract back to Solar.

"Notary certificates can make certain contracts have mystical effects. However, you signed it more happily than I imagined."

Solar explained briefly, and then asked curiously.

"This is the benefit of dealing with a guy who is destined not to like and doesn't need to like." Adele raised her head slightly, and straightened her hair that was a little messed up by the evening wind. "I'm going to continue going to sea tomorrow, and there is a high probability that someone will notify you of anything in the future."

"For us, it's one of the few pieces of news today that makes us both happy."

Solal smiled, and raised his champagne glass to Adele. "Cheers to never seeing you again."

"A refreshing toast."

Adele was not polite to him either, she raised her glass and touched Solar lightly, "I hope the next glass of champagne I drink with you will be at your funeral."

"Each each other."

The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

After a while, they put on their masks again and returned to the clothes and shadows of the upper class.
