Chapter 285 The theater starts

For Hoyle's family struggle, Chen Lun didn't take it very seriously.

Even if it involves the big family at the top of Peacock City, no matter how powerful Hoyle's brother is, in Chen Lun's view, this is just a silly farce among ordinary people.

If he doesn't bother himself, he doesn't bother to pay attention.

But if it affects his plan, then he doesn't mind crushing him to death.

Compared to this, he is more concerned about the whereabouts of the three opportunities hidden in Peacock City.

After returning to the winery.

Chen Lun summoned the three of Golov and gave them another mission.

"Go and investigate secretly. Which nobles, headed by Viscount Harrington, are more abnormal and involve the mysterious field. Give me a list... In addition, you need to find two people, one is a student named 'Francis', One is a farmer named 'Dorim'."

Chen Lun was sitting on the sofa in the study, with his silver cane leaning on his arm.

He looked at the three people in front of him and added:

"That student should be studying at Omto College and boarding in the dormitory of the college. The range of activities basically does not exceed the college area. But be careful and don't make too much noise. After all, behind Omto College is the righteous **** of magic. Church, School of Madmen...

As for the farmer, he should have his own land on the outskirts of Peacock City. Apart from farming, he usually goes to a nearby windmill to trade. "

Chen Lun tapped his silver cane rhythmically with his fingers, trying to search for the memory of his previous life in his mind.

The three opportunities came from a noble family, a student and a farmer in Peacock City. Even if the timing was advanced, it is not 100% sure that they are in their hands now.

That's at least about them.

Chen Lun intends to ask the three of Golov to investigate and collect some clues.

"If you find valuable clues, don't contact them rashly, go back and tell me the information."

"Yes, Captain."

The three of Golov nodded solemnly, expressing their understanding.

"Okay, you guys go get ready first."

Chen Lun raised his hand to signal.

The three of Golov immediately bowed and saluted, then turned and left.

Time passed in a blink of an eye for a week.

The work of Golov, Barton, and Morey was not going well. Only two nobles involved in the mysterious field were found. Chen Lun personally went to search, but did not find the shadow of opportunity.

These two aristocrats only had contact with the extraordinary forces in the mysterious field, and had entrusted the Black Sword Brotherhood to assassinate family enemies.

Although this kind of thing is not commonplace, in Chen Lun's view, there is no value for further study. Fortunately, at least these two nobles were excluded, further narrowing the scope of opportunities.

As for the student named "Francis", the three of Golov didn't find it. It seems that there is no such person in the college area.

The farmer "Dolimu" also failed to investigate.

There is indeed a farm in the suburbs, the owner is named this name, but the farmer and his wife have disappeared. Not even one of the livestock on the farm was left behind, as if they had already moved there.

The investigation results of the three Golovs made Chen Lun deep in thought.

‘The matter about Francis can only be put aside for the time being. As for the farm, I went to see it myself, and it was empty, with nothing left... This is not in line with the memory of my previous life.

It stands to reason that the player found a book of mythology from the farm and gained a lot of benefits from it. Farmer Dolim has always lived on the farm and never left...'

The process of finding opportunities has not been smooth, but he still has hope.

‘Since the clues of the students and farmers have been cut off for the time being, let’s find opportunities for the nobles first. '

Chen Lun secretly sighed.

Today is the day when Jack's circus takes to the stage.

But because almost everyone else in the team has other things to do, so this time the team leader Chen Lun can only do it himself.

City Garden Theater started preparations early on, and the original old entrance has even been renovated. Even the conductor invited a few young and beautiful women, all dressed up in fancy dress.

Because of Hoyle's massive publicity and promotion during this period, most people in Peacock City know that today the City Garden Theater will stage an important performance.

I don’t know if it’s good or not, but I’m full of curiosity.

Not only many nobles came with their wives and daughters, but even many high-level executives who are busy on weekdays also came here during the weekend break, wanting to see what kind of performance this is and whether there are any flyers It's as exaggerated as it says.

In addition, Viscount Harrington's family also came to the scene.

This shocked many people.

This unsmiling middle-aged man is surrounded by a woman, his wife and daughter, and several powerful bodyguards follow closely behind him. When their family passed by, the people in front stepped aside unconsciously to make way.

In the upper circles of Peacock City, there is no one who does not know Viscount Harrington. When many dignitaries saw his arrival, they hurried forward to greet him and greet him graciously.

But Viscount Harrington just nodded in response, and even turned a blind eye with a straight face.

The owner of the theater, Hoyle, stepped forward in person, but he didn't get any good looks from the viscount.

"Young people from Simon's family, I hope today's performance can be as you boasted... I am full of praise."

Viscount Harrington said coldly.

Hoyle's smiling face was a little stiff.

In fact, he already knew about the leaflets, and at the same time, he was annoyed by those pig-heads under him, why did he find some "amateur" salesmen to shout out that kind of exaggerated propaganda slogans.

Although he explicitly asked for more publicity, no one used the names of Viscount Harrington and the president of Moses Voyage.

Although this kind of thing can be used as an excuse for commercial hype, it is also easy to offend people, especially when it involves the two most powerful figures in Peacock City.

Even his father, Don Marne Simon, the helm of the Simon family, had to lower his figure when he saw Viscount Harrington.

"I only hope that Mr. Jack's performance today can be as shocking as when we met that day... Otherwise, this time it will be a big embarrassment. After all, there are so many big people present today!"

Hoyle wiped his sweat secretly, very nervous.

After sending Viscount Harrington to the VIP seat at the forefront of the auditorium, Hoyle returned to the door again to welcome the other dignitaries who came.

At this time, his complexion suddenly changed slightly, and then he cooled down.

"Oh, my dear brother, why don't you greet your brother when you see him, and still have a stern face?"

Two youths in their thirties came together, wearing colorful and expensive dresses, with a cynical look.

They all had playful smiles on their faces.

"Gardson, Lance, you two are not dawdling in your own property, what are you doing here?"

Hoyle asked with a frown.

"Listen, what hurtful words! What is dawdling... In fact, we are also working hard to make suggestions for the industry. Today we just came to see you, Hoyle."

"I heard that a new circus has come to your theater, and there will be wonderful performances. Aren't we happy for you... Come here to join us. Why? Don't you welcome it? We bought tickets anyway, shouldn't you Turn people away...that's not what a businessman looks like."

The two elder brothers said something to each other, making Hoyle's face even more ugly.

"Then you all enjoy watching the show. If you dare to make trouble during the performance, don't blame me for asking the security to invite you out... then it will be embarrassing!"

Hoyle said coldly.

"Hahaha, how come? We'll applaud the whole time, trust me, Hoyle."

The two brothers smiled hippiely, raised their heads and walked in.

Hoyle looked at their backs, feeling a bad premonition.

After a while.

He came backstage in person and found Mr. Jack who had just come out of the dressing room.

Seeing the young man in the black hat, Hoyle was stunned on the spot.

The other party originally had an unreal handsome face, but after some simple makeup, it seemed to be a face that did not exist in this world.

Too handsome!

"Hoyle, what can I do for you?"

Chen Lun gently put the silver cane in his hand, showing a polite smile.

"Mr. Jack, today's guests far exceeded expectations. There are many important people here... Even Viscount Harrington brought his family to the scene in person. I'm worried..."

Hoyle took a deep breath, resisted to take his attention away from the young man's face, and said in a deep voice.

"Don't stress, Hoyle."

Chen Lun said softly, and patted the shoulder of the young theater owner.

"You have to believe me."

"Ok."

Hoyle forced a smile.

The two came to the entrance of the stage and stood in the dark behind the scenes.

Hoyle suddenly noticed something and couldn't help squinting his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Lun asked.

"It's the person in charge of 'Taltar' and 'Golden Rum', and they're here too."

Hoyle pointed to the corner of the crowded auditorium. On the left and right sides, there was a man wrapped in a windbreaker and hat.

"Come here in disguise, probably to 'spot the enemy'. Hmph, it seems that they can't sit still."

Hoyle sneered.

Chen Lun glanced at the two of them, but stopped paying attention.

His gaze instead fell on Viscount Harrington's family at the forefront of the auditorium.

‘If you want to find opportunities hidden among the nobles, the best way is of course to find someone who is most familiar with the noble circles. '

Chen Lun is thinking about what method to use to drive Viscount Harrington without attracting the attention of local official extraordinary forces.

Hoyle watched the staff below the stage carrying magic props such as birdcages, ropes, wooden boxes, and water tanks, and asked nervously:

"Has everything been checked?"

"No problem, Mr. Hoyle, checked it three times."

The staff member wiped his sweat and replied.

"This way I feel at ease."

Hoyle nodded.

Chen Lun glanced at those magic props, with a playful smile on his face.

At this time, the host had already finished warming up the stage, and amidst the applause, he announced the name of the performing troupe on stage—

"I invite Mr. Jack, the head of the Jack Circus, to perform a wonderful magic trick for everyone!"

"Mr. Jack, please."

Hoyle said in a low voice and solemnly.

Chen Lun nodded with a smile, and walked towards the stage with a silver cane.

Seeing this, several staff who moved props turned around and looked at the dark place in the backstage, where Kewei, sisters Selina and the dwarves were hiding. The two sides exchanged glances and showed inexplicable smiles at the same time.

"Don't blame me, Hoyle... Mr. Gardson and Mr. Lance gave too much."

Kewei's gloomy face was hidden in the darkness, and he thought to himself.

And, of course, his hatred of the young magician.
