Chapter 78 Toxicology (8)
After getting in the car, the sloppy man first glanced at Danica's left arm and asked with some concern: "Is there any problem with the wound?" He knew very well the powerful lethality of that kind of corrosive agent. Although the wound was not very big, it would definitely be very deep, and the whole piece of meat was corroded and carbonized. There was only one way to deal with it, that is, dig out the whole piece of meat.
Danica touched her left arm and said coldly: "It's okay, it's all done."
Danica wore a long-sleeved piece today, and the sloppy man couldn't tell what the wound was like. He wanted to continue asking, but Danica said impatiently: "Will we go now?"
The sloppy man swallowed the words that had already reached his mouth and said, "Yes, let's go now."
Under the guidance of the man who was no longer sloppy, the carriage moved forward.
Today's dance party is held in the Town Hall. All the prominent and powerful people of Mellens will attend, and each will ride a luxurious carriage. This will lead to a crowded road near the Town Hall, and the staff will be responsible for the clearance. What's worse is that it's not much to be far away. If you are closer, you need to consider the gap in the identity of both parties. Those with higher positions must go first, which will delay a long time.
At first, Danica was wondering if they would come too early. After all, ordinary dance parties were set in the evening, and they couldn't even say evening when they set out, but by the time she could finally get off the carriage, there were already stars in the sky.
Danica followed the sloppy man and walked nervously towards the entrance of the banquet. She had not asked them before what method and identity they would enter the venue. To be honest, she was not familiar with this kind of occasion, so she could only say that she was calm, but she did not understand the specific etiquette of dealing with it.
The two walked towards the venue one by one. When they arrived at the door, the sloppy man took out two red invitations and handed them over, without stopping at all, and walked forward directly.
Danica was walking behind. She noticed that the waiter was in a dilemma. He probably had never seen this man before, but he did not dare to continue asking. After all, the powerful people who could participate in such a dance could not be offended by them. If you ask directly, it would be very likely that the other party would be dissatisfied.
After following the sloppy man into the venue, he stood there, and did not continue to move forward, but began to look at the surrounding environment. Danica stood behind him and didn't know what to do. There was no one she knew here, and everyone was talking in a low voice, only the two of them stood there abruptly, especially conspicuous.
Fortunately, Danica didn't make any trouble for long. After observing the surrounding environment, the man turned around and walked towards the stairs and went directly to the second floor. He seemed to be very familiar with the layout here and had a clear purpose. He quickly arrived at a door on the second floor. He didn't knock on the door and walked in directly.
After Danica followed in, she saw that this was a small living room.
The area of this living room is really small. A coffee table is placed between the two sofas, which has filled the room. There are some fruits, snacks, etc. on the coffee table, and a bottle of red wine, which looks not yet open.
The man walked into the room with a lot of relaxation. He sat on the sofa and said, "Let's wait here. Edward Mike will come over in a while. Now you think about what you should say after seeing him."
"Okay." Danica nodded and replied.
After a simple question and answer, the room fell into silence. Danica sat there seriously lying on the belly. The man sat on the sofa opposite her. At first, his eyes were still shaking, and he would look at Danica from time to time, but slowly, he seemed to be very tired and began to close his eyes and rest.
The two of them waited in this small living room for a long time, because the surroundings were quiet, and Danica could clearly hear the speeches of the important figures before the dance, the music flowing from the orchestra pool, and even the footsteps of the guests dancing.
More than two hours later, the man was completely asleep leaning against the sofa, and Danica was also very energetic and yawned repeatedly.
Suddenly, a knock on the door sounded, and the man suddenly woke up and said, "Please come in." Then he immediately tidied up his clothes, at least making it less bad and sleepy when others looked at it.
Seeing the man like this, Danica quickly sat upright.
After hearing the sound, the person outside the door pushed the door and came in. It was Edward Mike, who came this time to take charge of the overall situation and negotiated with the Cardinal of the Holy See of Light.
At the previous Miss Hort adult ceremony, Danica had met Edward, but she was still standing in a very remote position at that time and didn't see it clearly. At that time, Danica felt that this young man was elegant and energetic. This time, after close observation, Edward was of course still very handsome, but his eyebrows seemed a little haggard. I don't know if it was too much trouble and effort because he needed to negotiate with the Cardinal.
