Chapter 272
Nicholas saw a seat away from Dudian. Sergei’s size was very large so he sat opposite to Nicholas but was able to cover two seats. He looked at the table full of dishes. He was drunk in excitend and reached out to grab roasted chicken in front of him.
Whoosh!
A silver knife shot and nailed onto table half an inch from his hand.
Sergei’s face changed as he turned and looked at Dudian in anger: “What are you doing?”
Dudian indifferently said: “This house has its own rules. If you are eating on the table then you must comply with my rules. Additionally, it is the second ti I forgiving you.” Afterwards he looked at the maid: “Give another knife.”
“Yes.” Maid replied in a silent tone.
Sergei recovered his palm and said: “You have got quite a number of rules. It is best for you to write them down and give it . I am a rough man, I don’t want to incidentally destroy sothing else when I break the rules.”
Dudian indifferently replied: “It is actually very simple. I have only one rule. Be ‘good’. You only need to comply with this point.”
Sergei frowned but didn’t continue to argue.
At this ti the sound of footsteps echoed from upstairs. A girl slowly walked down the stairs. A trace of surprise flashed in Dudian’s eyes as he looked up. The girl was as beautiful as an elf. She had very pale complex which made her look sowhat weak. She had pair of silver-like eyebrows with dark black eyes. Her pupils were like deep pools which had nothing but coldness and death. Her body was wrapped with a set of loose red robe. Her long hair was tied at the back of her head and waist. She looked like a charming dark spirit.
Sergei, Nicholas, Scar, Jin and others looked up too. Sergei was especially attracted to her. After being imprisoned for several years even her waist hadn’t gained a bit of fat. Sergei’s fingers tightened as he grabbed the silver knife. He wasn’t aware that this little action was seen by the Nicholas who was sitting opposite to him.
The girl was Gwyneth. She silently wen down the stairs and sat near Nicholas but close to Dudian. There was no gratitude on her face as she looked at Dudian: “I am hungry.”
Dudian laughed: “Everyone is here so let’s eat.”
Nicholas laughed: “Aren’t we going to pray before eating?”
Nicholas was clutching the knife was ready to plug it into the wild porn but still controlled his emotions and looked at Dudian.
Dudian said: “I assu none of us believes in God.” Dudian picked the knife brought by the maid and took a piece of steak from the table. He began to slowly eat.: “Sergei, tomorrow get up early on as we will go after so work. Nicholas, the castle is under your care. If soone cos over to find then refuse them telling that I’m busy with work. Rember, don’t reveal my whereabouts.”
Nicholas glanced at him and nodded: “I know.”
Sergei talked as he bit onto the leg of chicken: “Where is the workplace?”
“You will know when we get there.”
Gwyneth cut the foie gras on her plate and asked: “What about ?”
Dudian looked at her: “Your task is very simple. There are ten pots behind the yard. Help and take care of them. Don’t let them whither.”
Gwyneth’s brows wrinkled and stared back at him. Afterwards she bowed her head and kept eating the foie gras.
Scar and Jin looked at Dudian: “What about us?”
“The spikes have just been pulled out. So recuperate for now. ” Dudian didn’t want to overwork them.
After dinner, everyone returned to the assigned rooms.
The next morning when the sun was raising Dudian got up on ti. However, maid went to wake up Sergei who was still sleeping. Nicholas made sure that the carriage was ready to leave the castle at any given ti.
There was a trace of coldness in Nicholas’s eyes as he looked at the back of the carriage which gradually went away. He turned back to the castle and carefully checked two young maids. He confird that they were working on their respective jobs and didn’t have any extraordinary power. He went to the second floor and deliberately made the footsteps heavier so that everyone would think he is going to his own room. As he approached the door of his room he bent over and took off his shoes. He was wearing the socks only as he swiftly went over the carpet. The figure flew through the corridor and reached the room where Dudian slept.
He took out a handkerchief form his pocket and grabbed the handle of the door. He gently twisted and found that the door was not locked. After a little pull the door was opened. He looked inside and was surprised to find another shadow standing by the desk in the room. His eyes was looking at the eyes of the other. The latter was Gwyneth.
Nicholas’s heart which was tightened monts ago filled with relief. He quietly ca in and locked the door: “It seems our purpose is the sa.”
There was no slightest emotion in Gwyneth’s eyes. She indifferently looked at him and didn’t reply.
Nicholas coughed: “Are you looking for the bail docunts? Did you find them?”
Gwyneth looked back at him and replied after a mont: “I just ca in.”
Nicholas smiled: “We will find them. But try not to leave any sll or fingerprints. The power behind the guyy is not small and we have to prevent any clues that will co back towards us.”
Gwyneth was silent.
Nicholas used her silence as a confirmation. He ca to the room and looked around. He opened the wardrobe and other places. After a mont at the bottom of the wardrobe he found an unregular place after knocking for few tis. He took away the clothes and saw that there was a small gap. He split it open and found a secret drawer.
He spoke in hurry: “Found it.”
Gwyneth ca over in hurry.
Nicholas saw that there was a keyhole. He reached into his pocket and took out a small iron needle. He put it inside the keyhole and began to toggle. Soon the drawer loosened. There was a trace of smile and happiness on his face. He took out the drawer but found only papers in the drawer. There were sketches and models of weird pattersn but the docunts that he was after.
He carefully wiped his hand with a handkerchief. Nicholas frowned as he found that everything was a drawing which was very hard for him to understand.
“There is an envelope next to them.” Gwyneth who was silent all the ti said.
Nicholas eyes fell onto the envelope which was on the side after he heard her words. He has long been aware of this envelope’s existence. But looking at its size and thickness it was obvious that it didn’t contain bail docunts. But now, as he had gone through all other docunts there was no aning if they didn’t check it. He twisted the envelope and found that the veil was not sared. IT was very strange but he carefully opened the envelope and poured out the note.
“Do not squander my things! Go back to your original tasks.”
Nicholas was startled.
Gwyneth slightly frowned.
