Chapter 631 A Visit
"It's a bit messy inside, please don't mind..."
Fors hurriedly welcomed the two into her home.
The two men's visit was indeed somewhat sudden, and she was completely unprepared.
Thirty minutes ago, Fors was still thinking about the beginning of her new book; twenty minutes ago, after racking her brains, she decided to give up, collapsed back onto the bed, and took a nap; ten minutes ago, a woman with black hair and red eyes suddenly appeared and forcibly woke her from her sweet dream.
Fors's strongest impression of this woman was that she was excessively beautiful.
She wore an asymmetrical black dress that strangely suited her style, making her look like a work of art.
The woman exuded an imposing aura, her scrutinizing gaze cutting across Fors's face like a knife. Fors didn't even have the courage to question why the woman was in her home; she only subconsciously felt that her messy room was completely unworthy of such a beautiful woman, and felt a pang of guilt as if she had done something wrong.
"Take it."
Fortunately, this intense pressure didn't last long. After waking her up, the woman in the black dress handed her a letter and then departed through the spirit world. It wasn't until she saw the name on the envelope that Fors realized the sender was actually a messenger from Mr. Temperance.
The letter was simple. Mr. Temperance told her in a very calm tone that he would be visiting her with The World to discuss the next steps in dealing with the Aurora Society.
To be honest, Fors was completely stunned after reading the letter.
"Mr. Temperance is coming to my place? And he's bringing Mr. World with him?"
"I'm not ready to meet you!!"
After realizing what had happened, she immediately panicked.
reject?
The messenger had already left, and it was too late to reply. Besides, she didn't really have a good reason to refuse... after all, the messenger had started this whole thing, and it was reasonable for her to want to discuss the details of the operation.
But the pressure of communicating with those two in real life is just too much!
And why did we have to meet at my house?!
At this moment, Fors, the homebody, felt as if her safest territory had been suddenly invaded. Although she was afraid and nervous, she had no choice but to welcome the two of them in.
Lu Ze stepped into the living room.
"Fors lives in a pretty big place...right, she's a bestselling author, her finances are pretty good, and Hugh shares the apartment with her..."
As he pondered, he glanced around casually. He noticed a room opposite the living room, its door ajar. Through the crack, he could see the scene inside—scrap paper strewn across the floor, piles of books, an ashtray overflowing with cigarette butts, and a half-empty coffee cup with dried-out stains on its interior.
"brush!"
Fors appeared in a flash, slammed the door shut with astonishing force, and then turned around.
"Would you like something to drink?"
She tried to keep her voice calm. "Black tea, coffee?"
"Then let's have black tea."
Klein chuckled with his refined, gentlemanly face, though inwardly he was already feeling embarrassed for the other person.
As for Lu Ze, he didn't care at all.
"I just need hot water."
As he spoke, he sat down on the sofa. He casually picked up a strand of blond hair, which appeared to belong to another tenant in the house, Hugh Deercha.
With just this one strand of hair, I can curse her to death...
Lu Ze suppressed the dark thoughts that suddenly welled up in his mind, shook his head, and threw the blond hair on the ground.
At this moment, Fors had already brought over three cups of hot drinks.
"Thank you so much."
Klein maintained his gentlemanly demeanor, accepted the tea, and greeted the other party with a perfect smile.
But Fors was frightened.
[World] Mr. was so gloomy in the gray fog, but when you actually met him, he was so gentle and friendly.
A sense of unease festered in her heart, and she increasingly felt that the man in front of her was like someone with a split personality, possessing an alien and inhuman aura. Therefore, she did not dare to communicate with him further, but simply nodded and sat back down awkwardly.
Two things.
After she sat down, Lu Ze calmly began, "First, I will take care of Louis Wayne within this week."
"That's great!"
Just as Fors was about to pick up his cup to take a sip of coffee, he heard this and quickly put the cup down and said...
After waiting for several weeks, she finally received a definite time from Temperance, which was enough to bring good news to her teacher... However, she was still puzzled by the other guest who came to visit.
Why would Mr. World come here?
Does his appearance alongside Temperance suggest that the two of them know each other?
"As for the second matter... let Mr. [World] tell you himself." As if guessing her confusion, Lu Ze steered the conversation to [World] beside him.
However, the words spoken by that gentle gentleman instantly filled Fors with terror.
"I wish to express goodwill to the Abraham family."
"!"
Fors' arm jerked, nearly dropping the entire cup of coffee. She quickly looked up, her gaze filled with astonishment as she looked at the "world" opposite her.
How did he know I was connected to the Abraham family?
I didn't say that publicly at the Tarot meeting!
"What do you want with them?"
Fors asked, his voice filled with wariness and unease.
To be honest, in the Tarot community, the two figures she fears most are the gloomy "The World" and the brutal "Temperance." Now that both of them have come knocking, the pressure she feels is immense.
However, no matter how much pressure she was under, Miss Salty still mustered up her courage when the other party might hurt her teacher.
"Don't worry."
Seeing this, Klein chuckled and said, "I mean no harm, I just want some help."
Is helping... really that simple?
Looking at that gentle smiling face, Fors recalled the gloomy demeanor he had displayed at the Tarot meeting, and felt a pang of panic. But she still managed to say, "They are very cautious, and I'm not sure if they will accept your kindness."
"You just need to relay the message."
Klein chuckled, "Tell them that as a gesture of goodwill, I will help hunt down Louis Wayne."
"But didn't Mr. Temperance already agree?"
Fors retorted instinctively.
"It's not that simple. Louis Wayne's high-profile appearance might be a trap, and there are probably more enemies hiding behind him. In order to deal with him and the powerful figures behind him, I also need their help."
Luze explained, "And with the help of [the World], we can also get more loot in battle."
As a fellow time traveler, he wouldn't mind putting in a good word for him here.
