The train arrived in London on time the next morning.

Everyone tacitly chose to forget the terrible question Naib asked yesterday.

Jack looked at the time on the musical theater ticket in his hand.

"It only started at ten o'clock in the morning." Jack looked at the pocket watch on his body, "It's not even nine o'clock now, why don't we go get something to eat together."

But the waiting time was still too boring, so Jack thought of a fun thing.

"Do you still remember the game we played yesterday? In that game, Mr. Miles, Naib, and I all lost, so only Norton and Valletta were left. How about the two of you rock scissors? Come on, whoever wins, let’s be each other’s slaves and listen to what he says all day long, how about that?”

Jack: Actually, I know the answer to the question, but I don’t dare to say it. If I do, the owner of the manor will definitely tear me apart.

Jack's proposal was immediately recognized by everyone. After all, they had to wait for a long time and they needed to find some fun to kill the time.

"So are you ready? Valletta." Norton raised his right hand eagerly.

"Ready." Valletta was also very interested.

"rock-paper-scissors!"

...............

"Is there anything else you need? Sir." Jack held up a plate of donuts speechlessly.

In the previous game of guessing, Norton finally won.

So I am willing to admit defeat and everyone will be Norton's slaves for a whole day.

The first thing Norton asked after winning the game was to ask Jack to find him a plate of donuts.

As we all know, Norton's favorite thing is donuts, but the problem is, after staying out for such a long time, the only desserts Norton has eaten are either pie or cake, and he almost feels like a bird in his mouth.

And when he saw the pie, he would think of the dark dish that Jack often made at the manor.

To be honest, Norton would rather starve to death than eat.

So when Jack found the plate of donuts, Norton immediately stuffed them into his mouth one by one.

Norton: Chew, chew, chew, eat, eat, eat, swallow, swallow, swallow.

To be honest, Norton's eating behavior made everyone around him look hungry.

Of course, except for Jack, Naib and Valletta.

Jack was just a little disgusted with Norton's eating appearance, which was a bit too "heroic".

Naib thought that he might have looked at Norton with envy in the past, but not anymore. He was in the manor and could eat the donuts whenever he wanted. He wouldn't be envious at all.

Valletta simply wants to maintain her weight, so she doesn't eat donuts.

But Miles looked at the food in Norton's hands curiously.

It's not that Miles has never eaten desserts, but he has never eaten this round...shaped...cake? …or bread?

Of course, they are all adults, so Miles will definitely not be greedy for this bite. He just has never seen this food before and feels a little curious.

"Want to give you one?" Norton had noticed Miles's gaze and asked him, holding out a donut to him.

"Thank you, Mr. Norton." Miles took the donut politely.

To be honest, Miles didn't think this donut was that delicious. It felt like a fried round piece of bread with a circle of chocolate drizzled on top.

Of course, if it was the old Miles, he might even wonder why there is such greasy and sweet food.

However, Miles doesn't think so anymore. Now he simply feels that this food is not to his personal taste, but he will never despise this food or the people who like this food.

Because Miles already knows that many people can't eat food that he thinks tastes bad after working hard all their lives.

Thinking of this, Miles decided to finish the donut he had only taken one bite of.

In the past, when I encountered something that didn’t taste good, I would take one bite and throw it away.

But it’s different now. I don’t like to eat it, so the food I just waste is the hard work of many people behind it.

"Hmmmm..." Miles desperately stuffed the donut into his mouth. To be honest, the chocolate on it was so sweet that his throat felt cloying.

But Miles's somewhat barbaric eating method succeeded in choking himself.

"Ughhhhhh!!!" Miles covered his neck with one hand and pointed desperately at his throat with the other hand.

His abnormal situation soon attracted the attention of Valletta, Jack, Naib and Norton.

"Oh my god, you can't eat it, don't force it, just give it back to me!" Norton looked at Miles and was speechless. If Miles took a bite and didn't like it, he would give it back to me. That's fine with him. Norton doesn't mind it anyway.

(Norton's previous living environment was something he couldn't help but dislike. Even after he came to the manor, he still maintained this habit.)

"Stop making sarcastic comments and hurry up! Water, water, water, water!" Valletta pointed at Norton and shouted anxiously.

Sailor Norton put the plate full of donuts in his hand on the shelf next to him, then picked up the kettle he carried and handed it to Miles.

"Gulu! Gulu! Gulu!" Miles drank several large gulps of water before finally swallowing the food stuck in his throat.

Miles stood there, holding his neck and breathing heavily.

All the food was stuck in his throat just now, and he couldn't breathe at all.

But fortunately it's okay now.

Seeing that Miles was fine, Norton planned to take back the plate and continue eating donuts.

"??? Where are my donuts?!" Norton put down his plate. In less than a minute, the plate and the donuts inside were all gone? ! !

Norton: Where did the thief come from! Steal my donuts? ! (┙>∧<)┙へ┻┻

Norton's roar also attracted the attention of others.

"I feel like I was stolen, which is good. Norton, you should really pay attention to your weight recently." Jack said while rubbing Norton's belly with his hand.

"I agree." Valletta agreed.

Naib nodded in agreement.

To be honest, during this period, Norton was clearly being fed by the manor owner.

A bit fuller.

I remember when Norton first came to the manor, he was just a skeleton with a little muscle on it and finally a skin.

And those muscles are not healthy muscles, but the little muscles that Norton brought out by carving stones in the mine tunnels.

Now look at Norton, who is obviously being fattened by the owner of the manor.

The most obvious thing is Norton's belly. Originally, Norton could still faintly see his eight-pack abs, but look now...

His eight-pack abs have evolved into one, and they feel soft to the touch.

And Norton's face, his face clearly changed from

so: [ ]

became

so:( )

In this regard, Norton said, I am not convinced <(`^′)>

If Norton were a child, Jack and the others could still say that Norton's fleshy touch felt good, but the problem was that Norton was an adult and no one wanted to touch him.

Although Norton has gone from looking obviously malnourished to looking like he is well-fed now, which is a good thing.

But Norton is obviously getting lazy now.

To be honest, if someone hadn't been watching him, Jack and the others thought that Norton would rather stay in bed all day than go to the ground.

After eating too much and not exercising, it was finally time for Norton to cry.

"Norton, it's really time for you to lose weight and come out for some exercise." Valletta said to Norton.

To this, Jack and Naib nodded in agreement.

After hearing what everyone said, Norton poked his belly with his hand.

Norton: I seem to have gained weight recently.

………………

the other side,

The thief who stole Norton's donuts took the plate of donuts to the place where he and his two brothers were hiding.

"Hey, brothers, look what I found?" He handed the donuts to his two brothers without hesitation.

There were exactly three donuts left on the plate.

Among the three brothers, this donut seemed to be made of gems and flowers. They had never seen such a beautiful and sweet food.

"Eat quickly, one for each of us."

The three brothers couldn't wait to take a donut and stuff it into their mouths. They had not eaten for several days, and this food rich in fat and sugar was exactly what they needed.

The intake of food relieved the burning and pain in their stomachs, allowing them to have the energy to start thinking about the rest of their lives.

"What should we do next? Fewer and fewer people are willing to watch our performances." One of the three brothers asked.

"Don't worry, brothers, I have a good idea. I heard that there will be a musical performed by a great musician today, and this musical will be the musician's last show. We are in the theater Wait at the door, there will definitely be someone willing to accept us."

"Really? Will anyone really be willing to take us in?" Another brother couldn't help but ask.

"Of course we will, trust my instinct, there will definitely be someone who appreciates our talent."

The eldest brother among the three brothers reassured his younger brothers, but in fact, he himself was unsure, but other than that, what else could they do? He could only hope that luck would befall them.

...............

Jack looked at the pocket watch he carried with him.

"It's almost time. If you don't go to the theater, you'll be late."

When they arrived at the entrance of the theater, everyone discovered that Jack's five theater tickets were reserved for VIP seats in the stands.

After everyone was seated, the musical was about to begin.

The lights in the theater went out, and the audience discussed what the great musician's last musical would be like.

Snapped!

A beam of light hit the stage.

The people under the light, Norton, Naib and Valletta, were recognized at a glance.

"Antonio?" x3

Hearing the exclamations from the three people, Jack couldn't help but smile.

"Wow, is this the surprise you were talking about?" Norton couldn't help but said.

This is indeed a small surprise. After all, although Antonio has not officially entered the manor, the people in the manor already regard him as their new "family".

It is indeed a nice surprise to see your "family" shine under the lights.

Everyone sat down and quietly enjoyed Antonio's beautiful music.

But it turns out that

Jack would never have any good intentions.

Just when the musical is about to reach its climax midway through.

Norton ordered several cups of tea from the theater waiter.

After all, this is how these waiters earn tips, and the VIPs in the stands are always very generous.

However, just as Norton took a sip of tea into his mouth, he spurted it out the next second.

It's not because the tea doesn't taste good, but because...

At the climax of the musical, another beam of light came down.

To be honest, not only Norton, but also Valletta and Naib were shocked.

"Andrew?!" x3

Yes, the entire musical changed from Antonio's solo to Antonio and Andrew's ensemble.

Andrew is still wearing his "Cheese" costume.

Under the lighting of the stage and the beautiful music, it is as beautiful as an elf from fairyland.

Not to mention that at this time, Andrew lowered his eyes slightly and played the white flute beside his mouth.

In this situation, people felt that standing on the stage really buried Andrew. He should be standing in the jungle, standing among the mountains and flowing water, that is his destination.

in the stands,

Norton couldn't help but said.

"Is this the surprise you're talking about? It's really a 'surprise'."

"Isn't it nice?" Jack crossed his legs, held his cheek with one hand, and said with a smile.

"I don't want to ask anything else. I just want to confirm one thing." Nabu said leisurely from behind, "Does the owner of the manor know about this?"

As soon as these words came out, Jack, who was cynical just now, immediately sat up straight.

Looking at Jack's reaction, it actually didn't matter whether he answered or not.

"The manor owner will skin you." Nabu was serious.

"Oh, okay, if you don't tell me and I don't tell you, how could the top pick know?" Of course, Jack's words were purely a lie to himself, and even he didn't believe it.

"The manor owner will definitely kill you." Valletta thought so too.

"Absolutely, definitely, definitely, one hundred percent." Nabu also affirmed.

In fact, Jack had been lying to himself along the way. Now that he heard what they said, Jack felt like he was breaking out in a cold sweat.

"You're dead." x3

…………

"Ok?"

suddenly!

Valletta, who had been paying attention to the situation in the theater, seemed to have discovered something.

"What's wrong? Valletta."

Everyone who noticed Valletta's abnormality gave up the idea of ​​continuing to joke and asked Valletta one after another.

"Look over there." Valletta pointed to the theater and the VIP seats on the other side of the stand.

Everyone looked in the direction of Valletta's finger.

"Mr. Manus, Mrs. Mary?" While Jack and the others were still looking over there carefully, Norton answered first.

"How did you see it?" Jack couldn't help but asked in surprise,

You must know that in the entire theater now, except for the two beams of lights on the stage, there are no other light sources. Even the battle-hardened Naib took a while to see clearly, but Norton only glanced at it and answered. Come up.

"Don't forget, I used to be a miner."

You know, the once dark underground tunnel was much darker than this theater. In such an environment, Norton still had to distinguish which ones were stones and which ones were ores, and even had to find a little bit of gold the size of sand among the piles of waste rocks.

Although Norton felt that he might not be able to match Naib in terms of long-range vision, but in terms of ability to compare with things in the dark, Norton was definitely one of the most powerful people in the entire manor.

"Want to go over and say hello?" Valletta asked.

"No, it looks like they are not just a family out for fun." Norton retorted immediately.

"?" Valletta wanted to ask something else, but was interrupted by Nabu.

"Norton is right. In addition to the Manus family, there seems to be other people there. It seems that they should be Mary's natal family, because their hair is platinum blonde." Naib finally saw it clearly. The situation in the stands on the other side.

In this case, everyone felt that they should not disturb it. After all, this was their family's family matter.

If you're lucky, we can chat with each other when the musical ends.
