Chapter 57

"Harvey Adrian, who would have thought that this down and vulgar noble son would be the author of count of Monte Cristo? It's wonderful ~" a deep banter rang out in the dark room. The second son of the Elroy family, Kathy, who had a handsome face, threw his papers on the desk, which were all records of Harvey's actions some time ago, The deadline was the day Harvey paid off the debt.

"Do you have any idea why a mediocre person has changed so much in such a short time, Mr. cotton Lester?"

Lester, sitting on the sofa in the room, leans on a crutch and answers flatly, "I'm just an ordinary thug and I don't know anything about the changes in Mr. Adrian."

"Are you sure about this report on Diana's action on the night of the school dinner?"

"Yes, sir."

Kathy unconsciously tapped her fingers on the glass table and thought for a long time. "How much is Harvey Adrian's life worth?" she asked in a deep voice

"Are you kidding? Mr. Kathy Elroy. " Lester's serious eyebrows.

"No

"You don't look like someone who would take such reckless action."

"No matter how smart people are, they will become stupid because of impulse. The death of Harvey Adrian is not only because of Diana, but also because of his good novels. I have never been a man of high moral character, and I can't get what I want. Now I am Fernand and Danglars, isn't the reason enough?" The handsome Cathy's face was as gloomy as water, and her fierce look completely destroyed his impression. When she said Harvey's name, her eyes showed obvious displeasure.

Lester thought for a moment and politely refused: "we never attack people with social status. That's too risky. The death of a young and talented novelist, you know how much trouble it will cause. "

Cathy looked at Lester and said, "what are you talking about, Mr. Lester. It must have nothing to do with you. Mr. Harvey Adrian just fell into the river and drowned. It's an unfortunate accident. "

Lester was silent, holding the crutch tightly in his white gloved hands: "you are from the Elroy family. Of course, we will not question your ability. Harvey Adrian's life is not worth money, but we need to sign a contract."

"Contract?"

"Yes, when the risk is too high, we have to balance the two, even if we have to give up part of the benefits. This contract will clearly record the transactions between us and be kept in a safe place. As for the security of the contract, I can guarantee it in the name of the organization. Maybe I can give you some information to reassure you. Your father, the count, was our important guest

"My father signed a contract, too?" Cathy was stunned and speechless. Did his father have enemies that he had to get rid of? He thought, and then thought of a portrait that his father often stopped in the living room to watch, in which was his father's brother. If he had not suddenly disappeared, his father would not have been qualified to inherit the title.

"You know, I can't tell you any more. We will assess the life of Mr. Harvey Adrian. As a member of the Elroy family, you can reduce the price appropriately. Finally, as the price of signing the contract, the specific price can be reduced by more than half. Mr. Kathy Elroy, I would like to conclude by saying that you should know that this is not the best way to solve the problem. "

······

Lester returns to his temporary residence with Harvey's information, thinking that this is the negative effect of the action.

"It's a pity, Mr. Adrian. I gave you advice." He regretted muttering to himself. When he performed his duties as a debt collector, he still appreciated Harvey's firmness at that time. At the same time, he thought he was a wise man. In fact, from Harvey's ability to write the count of Monte Cristo, he was indeed a wise man.

His organization has no name, no rules, but it is almost all over the country. Correctly speaking, he is just a node of the underground organization network. In the city of Elroy, he can do anything as long as someone pays.

Most of them were aristocrats and businessmen who asked him to do some unknown business.

"Although the Cromwell chamber of commerce is a VIP, the repercussions caused by this incident may be beyond our control and we can not divulge any information."

······

A few days later, the first half of the count of Monte Cristo became more and more popular in Elroy. Some official bookstores could not bear the pressure from readers and secretly put the book on the shelves.

It seems that Leonard publishing house is not aware of this. Rather, they must know it, but they can only secretly hate it. Count of Monte Cristo is becoming more and more famous. Some well-known writers have written comments in newspapers and magazines. The incident may be out of control at any time. If they do not take action, the dike will break sooner or later. But if they continue to take a confrontational attitude, the contradiction will be intensified.

Now, the sound of broken cups is heard every day in the independent office of Leonard publishing house, and reviewers are getting used to it.

Most of the audiences of count of Monte Cristo are young people. When they are in their youth and looking forward to literature, the novel, which is easy to understand, has a wonderful plot and is full of philosophy of life, is very suitable for them. Interestingly, it is not the Revenge of count of Monte Cristo that is the most controversial, It's a dispute between Haide and Meredith.

A newspaper not printed by Leonard publishing house once published the results of the investigation, and then the newspaper, which was rarely seen, sold out of stock on that day.

According to the results of the newspaper survey, most of the women will choose Merseyside, while the male readers prefer Haide.

The literariness of count of Monte Cristo is sought after by nobles and writers, and the popular and wonderful plot also makes the common people infatuated. However, the price of count of Monte Cristo is not cheap for the common people's children. Many common people's children put together money to buy one, and then this one is circulated in different people's hands every day.

The price of the Earl of Monte Cristo is a little higher than that of other publications, but the children of ordinary people who buy the novel feel that it is worth the money. On the one hand, there is a lot of capacity in the novel, and on the other hand, the cover and illustrations of the novel make them feel great! The illustration contains any character in the novel, no matter the hateful Fernand, or the dignified and beautiful Merseyside, or the elegant count of Monte Cristo.
