The Secret Code of Monsters

Chapter 208 Ch.207 Walking upright

"I promise that there will never be any rumors that make you uncomfortable. Mr. Anne, you will soon be a partner of the Hyman family. Although I am honored by my father's surname, but speaking of it, I admire you for being so persevering." smart."

Louis Hyman put one hand on his chest and bowed slightly to the woman in front of him.

Today, he had his burgundy curly hair neatly tied up, and the treble clef pendant in his left ear swayed with his body.

He and Marvolo Hyman received 'Diamond Anne' in the private salon, which also meant that the Hyman family was about to face up to this extremely tall and strong woman——

At least that's how Anne understood it.

She didn't have a suit today and was wearing a long lace skirt that looked nondescript on her body.

However, except for the domestic servants and the Heymans, no one dared to look at her strangely in the bar.

This was a kind of 'advance', and the Hyman family told her in advance what the future would look like.

"Your future will be brighter than today."

Louis Heyman smiled and invited her to take a seat. He sat under his father and was served by a servant.

"The hard work will pay off, just in a few days."

The Pence family's handmade silk carpets can be called brilliant murals, gold hand-rolled long beard lampshades, tablecloths as soft as skin, every inch of exquisite silver tableware, oil paintings of famous people with a long history, and the most expensive gemstone nowadays, silver tin. A hip flask, a limited edition cigar from Golden Smoke, a red wine from a certain winery that I can’t name but I always seem to hear about.

And the scent of flowers in the air.

Anne greedily enjoyed everything in the private banquet room.

This belonged to the Hymans, but soon she would have the decency to enjoy the same treatment.

At least, she can wear long skirts and wander around the same salon without any strange eyes - the life she has always wanted is now within her reach.

"Mr. Heyman."

Anne bowed and saluted the old man above her.

She wanted to go back to her old ways, but was stopped by Marvolo Heyman.

'You are about to become a partner in the Hymans - the Hymans never deprive a partner of his dignity. ’

have a look.

What she lost was found again with her own hands.

"The blood brick has been handed over to Mr. Louis Hyman." Anne bowed her head respectfully: "After this time, it will be difficult for us to have such a large number of babies. The adults, the church and the police are all focusing on us. If something happens..."

Old Heyman was careless. He seemed to care more about the dishes served by the servants than the 'blood bricks'.

From time to time, he nodded to the maid who served the dishes, and commented on the soup. He swiped a silver spoon over the milky white soup surface, dipped some juice on it and tasted it on the tip of his tongue.

After Annie finished speaking, she waited quietly, waiting for the old man to move his lips and tongue, put down the spoon, and tap the corner of his mouth with the cloth.

"You don't have to worry about the police and the church, Anne."

Marvolo Hyman said.

"After this incident, you will have left the Elephant Gang long ago... Oh, the new identity has been prepared for you."

"Thank you for your generosity."

"You deserve this." Old Heyman shrugged, turned to look at her, with a charitable look on his face: "You did a good job, but no one is brave enough. I hope you can handle the gang affairs as soon as possible. Being able to get away immediately after it's over - the Hymans never deal with low-life people, and they will never involve criminals."

His eyes were deep: "Right?"

Anne lowered her head: "I understand, Master Heyman."

Marvolo Heyman was satisfied with her attitude and picked up the handle of the silver fork: "Come on, let's use a little first."

"My dear Mr. Francis always likes to make meat puddings that are too juicy. I have said many times that too much juiciness tends to make the diner look disgraceful and dissatisfied some ladies and their husbands. Too little juicy will make the diners disgraced. It affects the taste of the pudding.”

"Am I too harsh?"

Louis Heyman smiled and answered: "Your most basic requirement for quality is the reason why the Heyman family is extraordinary among many nobles."

Marvolo Heyman thinks so.

"Standards, we are the standard and the flag. If we cannot even meet these most basic requirements, how can we show the nobility of our blood and even leave an imprint that will remain unchanged for thousands of years to future generations. This is a responsibility, a kind of Responsibility that comes from family, family name and blood.”

"Louis, I want you to remember."

"You are noble because of your surname, and you should also let your surname be great because of you."

Louis Hyman bowed his head to his father as respectfully as Anne.

Cutting a pie with a serrated knife is much more elegant than tearing it with your teeth. All the eating methods created by these people try to keep themselves away from cruelty and close to elegance. And Marvolo Heyman is one of the best.

Each cut he made was just right, separating the meat without touching the porcelain plate under the meat.

He ate silently, like some living thing dying.

"...I heard that a girl escaped."

He suddenly mentioned this matter and asked Anne casually: "...I hope it won't bring bad news, right?"

Anne subconsciously clenched her knife: "...She knows nothing about your plan, sir. My people will catch her soon. Next time, she won't be so lucky."

"Your people." Marvolo tasted the word and suddenly laughed: "Annie, maybe you can consider asking my Louis to do a small favor."

The father and son did not wait for Anne's reply.

Louis put down his knife and fork, "What's her name?"

The woman looked complicated: "…Rose. Her name is Rose."

"Rose." Louis Heyman nodded. "If you need, Mr. Anne."

After the salon, Anne was sent away by the Heyman family's carriage.

Old Heyman didn't eat much, but he drank a lot of wine.

He turned the ring on his finger, leaned back in the high-backed chair, and pointed to the table.

"Pick it up."

The maids put all the plates on the table into the tray. According to the master's instructions, some of them would be thrown away.

The part that Anne used.

"It's hard for me to imagine that I will one day sit at the same table with an inferior person to eat." Facing his son, Marvolo Hyman could not hide his contempt: "She seems to have learned a lot, but she is still like an untrained animal-gorilla, right?"

Louis Hyman laughed: "Forgive her, father, how can you ask this ridiculous person to really learn like us."

"I try not to ask too much, Louis."

Marvolo Hyman sneered: "But some people always have delusions."

Diamond Annie...

An animal over six feet tall.

An animal tamed by him.

"This matter cannot go wrong, Louis." Marvolo Hyman said seriously, "Those businessmen who can sell out their parents for profit already have enough power. We can't accept more concessions-"

"Especially letting those animals whose toes haven't been washed clean sit at the same seats as us."

"That would be a great insult to us and many families with a long history."
