Chapter 1792: Chapter 1792: Residual Contaminants
As a result, when the grilled fish was finished, those noble offspring never showed up, nor did they send anyone to ask questions again, and both of them went back after the al.
After that, of course, everyone went about their business peacefully, not encountering each other during the day at the villa.
Regarding the donations, Xu Huo contacted Mr. Dong to inquire about more details.
Before Xu Huo left Zone 011, he had instructed Mr. Dong that if they received a charity invitation, they could make a suitable donation. Other fundraising events could also be attended. Generally, such activities don’t require too much money, definitely not to the degree of a “Money Scatterer.”
“Lady Lily made quite a donation in your na,” Mr. Dong said.
“How much?” Xu Huo asked.
“Ten tis the amount you had left
for donations,” Mr. Dong said with a businesslike expression. “Because the money you left wasn’t sufficient, I only selected so important community fundraisers, and we skipped other noble events.”
After these words, there was a mont of silence on both ends of the communicator. A few seconds later, Xu Huo said, “Prepare a generous gift for Lady Lily on my behalf.”
Mr. Dong imdiately agreed and also revealed another piece of news to him: the district governnt has recently been secretly seeking dical talent skilled in making antitoxins. This is due to the Guile Sound Knights previously launching a secret attack on Zone 011 and releasing pollutants and diseases in so critical areas—although only Yuguo is famous for using germs, they all clearly know where the contagions Yuguo uses co from, and might even acquire so more. Unlike Yuguo, they cannot carry these germs in their bodies, but instead transport them tightly sealed, causing delayed outbreaks. This is also a major reason why Zone 011 decided to partner with other zones to place another high bounty on the Guile Sound Knights.
“According to rumors, among the places contaminated with germs is the district governnt’s central water collection area. This water area not only supplies important figures for drinking but is also used as experintal water for so potions, with significant losses.”
“That’s how it is.” No wonder Lady Lily proposed to exchange donations for honorary dals. It seems the district governnt is planning to save this water source, and donations are not just for tracking down the Guile Sound Knights.
“Can you get so?” Xu Huo asked again.
“I’m just a butler; please don’t make it difficult for .” After saying this, Mr. Dong hung up.
Xu Huo also felt he was being unreasonable, so after playing for another three days, he returned early to Rose Castle.
With the gift Mr. Dong had prepared, he went to visit Lady Lily.
Lady Lily was selecting an outfit for her brother when she saw him arrive and imdiately waved, “Co over, you’re about the sa size as my brother, help him try on so clothes.”
Xu Huo handed the gift to the butler, smiling, “Congratulations, I heard your brother received a Rose Knight honorary dal?”
From a distance, Lady Lily held up an outfit against him, saying carelessly, “It’s just an honor bought with money. For this title, I spent quite a bit. The dal awarding is in a few days, that’s why I’m preparing his clothes in advance.”
After saying this, her hand dropped, “Forget it, what’s suitable for you doesn’t suit him. If my brother were half as capable as you, I wouldn’t be so worried.”
“That’s his good fortune, having a sister who worries about him.” Xu Huo casually picked up a white outfit, “How about this set?”
Lady Lily glanced at it and nodded to the maid beside her, who stepped forward to take the outfit.
The two of them went to the flower hall.
Zone 011 has fresh flowers in all seasons, and the flower hall was filled with various fresh flowers, so untrimd. Lady Lily said “sit” and continued trimming the flower branches with scissors.
“If you’re interested in an honorary dal, I can help maneuver for one; however, it costs quite a bit, and you’d have to pay yourself.”
“Of course.” Xu Huo nodded, then brought up the issue of her making donations in his na.
“That’s all a minor matter,” Lady Lily winked at him, “You can tell I’m trying to draw you in, right?”
Xu Huo’s face carried a faint smile, not following her into an ambiguous atmosphere.
Lady Lily placed a pink rose at her lips, her eyes fixed on him, then gently bit off a few petals and slowly chewed them.
Xu Huo sat across from her, his gaze not avoiding hers, yet he made no other gestures.
Gradually, Lady Lily felt her interest wane, and she turned to talk about the flowers in her hands, “I used to think this kind of flower wasn’t very ornantal, not blooming intensely nor brightly, but since you moved into the Rose Castle, even this flower looks a bit eye-pleasing.”
“Shows nothing in this world is constant.”
“n may like you today and soone else tomorrow, and won are the sa, thinking this man is better today and another better tomorrow… People are fickle.”
“Since they’re fickle, they’re easily swayed and tempted.”
Slowly, she moved towards Xu Huo, placing her left hand on his shoulder and lightly caressing it. A few seconds later, she leaned close to his ear, speaking softly, “What could tempt you?”
Xu Huo blocked her hand as it started to slide downward, “Say more and you’ll cross the line.”
Lady Lily chuckled softly, withdrew her hand, and returned to her seat, “I want you to steal sothing for . In exchange, I’ll get you a nice title; a Rose Knight is dreadfully dull.”
“What is it?” Xu Huo asked straightforwardly.
“You probably know about the governnt-administered water source contamination. The pollution source placed by the Guile Sound Knights has long been cleared. They are now focusing on dealing with the spread-out pollutants, which haven’t been completely destroyed. So were taken by different nobles who want so to study, in case they encounter sothing similar in the future but are left helpless.”
“A shipnt is about to go to the Herta Family’s secret laboratory. If you can steal the whole truck, that would be best; how you handle it afterward doesn’t concern … Aren’t you building a lab? You can use it yourself. I just want the Herta Family’s reputation ruined.”
Lady Lily lazily leaned back in her chair, spinning a small fan, “Imagine for the next six months, every ti I et soone from the Herta Family, I can mock them. It’s so delightful.”
“I’ll think about it,” Xu Huo said.
“Do you really need to be that cautious about such a small thing?” Lady Lily seed a bit surprised, but then, she quickly changed her attitude, “I just like how careful you are. Make sure you’re not caught; the Herta Family may not be great, but their players are quite formidable.”
Xu Huo assured her he would be very careful and absolutely not implicate her.
Lady Lily chuckled softly, “Stay for lunch. The ingredients delivered today are quite good; I plan to cook myself.”
