Lindon listened with a slight furrow of his brow, while Carlson said, "Elise, what does he do, and what's his status here?"
Elise shook her head, saying, "I'm not sure, I've only met him twice."
"Ah, he's not some local big shot, what's the use?" Carlson shook his head, lighting up a cigarette.
Lindon also furrowed his brow, saying, "Out there, don't easily trust others' words. Didn't your brother and Jaden suffer losses? Haven't you seen it?"
Upon hearing this, Elise could only remain silent. But deep down, she always had a strange feeling, though she could not articulate what exactly it was.
…
The next morning.
Ben arrived early at Earl Hans's estate and waited outside.
It was not until he received a notification from the steward that he was escorted to the drawing-room in the castle.
At this time, Earl Hans had just finished his breakfast and was sipping black coffee. When Ben entered, he quickly bowed in greeting. As he bent down, the fat on his belly almost touched the ground.
"Oh, it's you, Mister Ben. Please have a seat," Hans smiled and said.
Ben modestly sat across from Hans, but only half of his buttocks touched the chair. It was not that the chair was too small, but he dared not sit completely.
The steward then brought a cup of coffee for Ben, who promptly expressed his thanks.
"Mister Ben, do you have some business with me?" Hans politely inquired.
Ben sighed and said, "Your Lordship, just last night, my old comrade Jeff was killed by a man from Dasha."
"Oh, why is that?" Hans still wore a smile on his face.
Ben shook his head and said, "That guy was looking for someone named Lou. He found his way to me, and because I didn't provide him with information, he killed Jeff and declared that today was my last day unless I gave him what he wanted."
