Chapter 214 Golden Rose Theater (Part 2)
As soon as the store door was opened, a strong disco music came out, and the colorful lights hanging from the ceiling were so bright that they almost blinded Toru Amuro's eyes.
The person sitting at the front desk was the postman. His dog Wick had been converted into a sweeping robot, and was sweeping up the scraps of paper on the floor while barking.
Seeing the mercenary come in, the postman greeted him friendly.
“?(.???.)?”
"Oh, Victor, long time no see. Don't tell me you opened this shop just to go clubbing every day. Where is Jose?" The mercenary blocked the glaring light with his hands and asked the postman.
The display screen in the postman's eyes kept changing his expressions, while the printer on his chest kept printing out his thoughts and handing them to the mercenary.
“e=(′o｀*)))” “I don’t want to either, but Jose and the others just like this style.”
"(〃＞皿＜)" "Patricia was annoyed by their noise and went out for afternoon tea, but I had to stay behind to look after the shop."
“＜——” “Jose and the others are in the inner compartment, probably watching a movie and dancing.”
After reading the information provided by the postman, the mercenary's face suddenly darkened eight degrees: "Alright, I'll be out there fighting for my life and death, while they're here having fun, right?"
Toru Amuro recognized that the postman was one of the members of the Orientis group he met on the train. He didn't have time to observe him closely on the train before, but now it seems that this member should be a well-behaved big boy.
Amuro Toru also noticed that the undertaker behind him had been staring at the postman since he entered the shop, his eyes almost threading. Based on Amuro Toru's research on the behavior of undertakers in the organization, usually when he showed this kind of eyes, it meant that the person in front of him would soon appear in his coffin.
Toru Amuro's inner thoughts: Yukiguni had given that kind of look to Vermouth before. At first I thought he had other feelings in mind. I never thought he was such a career-minded person and wanted to bury her directly.
The mercenary kicked open the compartment door: "Jose Baden!"
The first mate, who was DJing in the middle of the room, hadn't reacted yet: "Who called me?"
I was dancing, and when I turned around, I saw the ferocious mercenary vanguard: "Ah!" (The macho man screamed)
The prisoner, sitting on the sofa, watching the train footage he had filmed, said, "Huh?"
"Viscount Baden." The mercenary clenched his fists and flexed his knuckles. "Could you explain what you're doing with the funds?"
The first mate, sweating profusely, said, "Naib, listen to me. Although I didn't pay for the shop, I paid for all the renovations and equipment out of my own pocket."
"Alright, I won't ask you about the financial matters. What I want to ask is whether the Melody family has any ideas about the Golden Rose Theater."
"Why are you asking me about this? Why don't you just go to the magician and the adventurer to find out more? They're well-informed."
The mercenary's veins popped out as he grabbed the first mate by the collar. "That's because you're the only nobleman here. Besides you, who else understands the customs of the upper class?"
"Tell me everything you know, or I'll tear the record player off your chest." The mercenary threatened the first mate harshly.
The first mate, who was released, clutched the vinyl record on his chest in horror and said, "Isn't that enough?"
"You know about Miss Michiko's situation. The leading actress in the troupe, 'Mrs. Bella,' is actually in the same situation as her. That Mrs. Mary is no longer just 'Mary Clayburgh.'"
"Could it be that 'Mary Kreborg' is someone from your organization pretending to be her? Or is she an artificial human?" Amuro Toru had experienced many bizarre experiences from Oritis and could already guess what was going on.
The first mate remained silent, but his silence had already allowed Amuro Toru to vaguely realize the truth.
"So Mr. Kleiberg was kept in the dark the whole time?"
The first mate nodded. "His code name is 'Composer,' but he doesn't care about the Melodi family at all. He's been discussing art with a few artists at the manor before, but I don't know anything more than that."
At this moment, the prisoner, who had been slumped on the sofa, turned around and revealed a rather shocking piece of news: "Wow, I've received news that the head of the Baril family, Old Baril, has died in a gas explosion. The entire villa has been reduced to rubble. Since Old Baril's son has already died and his grandson is paralyzed in bed, the position of head of the family will be passed on to his little granddaughter."
The forward on the side realized something: "Hey, isn't that Lily? That's great, she can finally escape this suffocating family!"
"Don't be too happy." The sorcerer returned from afternoon tea. "Lily is too young. Not to mention whether the Balir family's collateral branches might cause trouble, even if Lily truly took control of the family, she alone would struggle to support the family business."
The prisoner sneered, "There won't be any more collateral branches. Look at this I've compiled."
The prisoner placed a display screen in front of everyone, which showed that most of the branches of the Baril family had been destroyed during this period due to gas explosions or other accidents.
"It's only been a short time, and the entire Baril family is left with only this one member of the main family?" The first mate's eyes widened in disbelief. "Many people fled when the Uriel family was destroyed."
The undertaker immediately looked at the first mate with a stern expression, and the first mate immediately shut up.
"Perhaps for the sake of her brother, our little Lily will also ask others for help." The prisoner was still cheerful, as if the demise of an entire family was a trivial matter not worth mentioning.
The forward slapped his head and said, "Yes, Simon Baril, the excellent rider. He is Lily's brother, but he was framed during a horse race and became paralyzed."
The first mate also seemed to have remembered this. "He was racing at the Clayburg Racecourse, a place of entertainment built by Manus de Capet, Lady Mary's husband, to please his wife. And the horse Simon rode was Lady Mary's favorite horse."
"The horse suddenly went mad during the race and trampled the spectators. Simon was thrown off the horse and became disabled. Lady Mary was suspected of having an illicit relationship with the rider because of the horse. Manus was also burdened with debts because of these scandals."
The mercenary on the side started to eat melon mode: "Well, it's still you nobles who have to have fun."
"This is the problem of these old French nobles, not mine!" The first mate looked unhappy.
"Ah, yes, yes, your biggest mistake was drinking and causing trouble." The mercenary retorted bluntly.
Amuro Toru listened to this information and found that it matched what was heard at the previous auction, so he just listened quietly without saying a word.
"So Lily was the one who did what happened to the Baril family, right?" The forward didn't believe that the cheerleader could do such a thing.
The prisoner looked through his own information. "It was our mining director who took action. Consider the mine and his experiences in his youth."
The first mate nodded. "That's not surprising. He probably hates old Baril to death. Killing his mortal enemy while getting a good partner to take over is a great deal."
The mercenary brought the topic back to the Golden Rose Troupe: "So the Golden Rose Troupe is actually just a testing ground and gaming ground for you old nobles?"
The first mate frowned. "Throw me out! That's theirs, not mine! You've got the ticket, haven't you? Just go and check it out yourself?"
After a friendly exchange that was typical of Oritis, the mercenary, the undertaker, and Toru Amuro decided to go to the theater together on the troupe's tour day to see what was going on.
