Is boyfriend the dark knight today? [Comprehensive British and American]

Bruce pushed open the door of Dawn's room, but just stood at the door and didn't come in.Probably because the permission of the owner of the room has not yet been obtained.

Dawn frowned.

He didn't expect Bruce to come to open his door suddenly, so he didn't let O'Brien guard the door.Don't know how much Bruce heard.

The man's probing eyes couldn't hide from Bruce.

He stood by the door, staring at Dawn calmly, as if he hadn't suddenly inserted himself into the other's conversation.

"I didn't eavesdrop at the door."

With that said, Bruce gestured to Dawn's pocket: "I just think that what you are going to say may have something to do with me."

Dawn fished out the sapphire cufflink he returned to Bruce from his pocket.He looked down, and then looked at the man with the same color eyes.

In all fairness, he could understand what Bruce was doing.It's just that Clarion's specific whereabouts have not been revealed, and it doesn't make sense for Bruce to know about it at this time.

And Dawn was also thinking about observing the opponent's skiing situation.

Dawn didn't intend to hide this matter from the other party for a long time, but Bruce didn't know this.In the eyes of people like them, there is a big difference between intentional concealment and active disclosure.

He could completely imagine that in Bruce's heart, most of the fragile friendship that the two had gotten along with during this time had been reset to zero because of this incident.

"I'm afraid I'm resigning from you, Mr Employer."

"I don't think that's necessary, Bruce," Dawn said, "I wanted to find out the exact location of Clarion before I would notify you, but if you want to find out by yourself, the Dawn family will also be Your help."

Bruce was silent for a moment.

Dawn was right.He only knew of the location of Florence, without any relevant information. It was quite difficult to find Clarion in the vast crowd.

Besides, Clarion had left Florence for two weeks.

Originally, Dawn had concealed something as a reason, and Bruce could logically get out of the other party's monitoring range.

He had foreseen that most of what he was going to discuss with Clarion would be something that others should not know—especially after hearing Soran's phrase 'portal gate'.

But in Dawn's power, this is almost impossible to do.Leaving Dawn thus became imperative, which is why Bruce would simply push open Dawn's door to show the two that he had heard their conversation.

But for Bruce, Dawn's proposal is indeed more favorable.

……

Florence.

It was dusk, and the city known as Emerald was glowing reddish in the sunlight, looking from a distance like a still lake of fire.

A man in a light gray jacket stands on the street.

November is not the peak season for tourism in Florence. There are not many tourists on the streets, but more artists who come to this city to find artistic inspiration.Florence in autumn and winter is cold and humid, and the ground that has just been washed by a rain is still slightly damp.

Bruce put away the umbrella in his hand.

It has been nearly half a month since he bid farewell to Dawn, but he still hasn't found any news related to Clarion.It wasn't just Bruce, Dawn also didn't find any clues.

It shouldn't be.Bruce was confident that he hadn't missed any clues, and the Dawn family's influence in the city was not small, but with the combined efforts of the two, Clarion couldn't be found.

Even if Clarion was a highly capable mercenary, this incident was too strange.

Bruce originally thought that the reason why Dawn couldn't find Clarion for a long time was because the other party fell into his own world when he jumped in time and space.But the traces of living in Clarion's safe house obviously overturned this conjecture.

At least, no matter what Clarion went through during this process, he still stayed safely in the current space.

This is a good thing, which means that Bruce may be able to ask the other party the details he wants to know, instead of guessing the special reason that caused him to jump through time and space.

But Bruce didn't know whether Clarion was affected by his time and space jump - judging from the conversation between Solan and Dawn he heard that day, Clarion had disappeared for nearly two months After that, he suddenly appeared in Florence's safe house.

West Asia and Florence are separated by several countries and thousands of kilometers, but there is no clue about how the other side crossed such a long distance.

Bruce couldn't help thinking of the "portal gate" that Soran casually mentioned that day.

Space-time has always been a very mysterious field, and there are not many related studies.The only thing that is certain is that every time-space change requires huge energy as support, and the areas where time-space tunnels appear will also be affected to a certain extent.

So will Clarion have also gone through time and space?

If yes, what happened during the two months he disappeared?

Bruce had an intuition that this might have something to do with his past.

While thinking, a car drove over and stopped in front of Bruce.

This is the car sent by Dawn's subordinates.According to the information Dawn sent to Bruce recently, there will be an auction held in Florence tonight.One of Clarion's regular patrons was said to be in attendance.

Generally speaking, there is a non-interference relationship between mercenaries and customers, but this regular customer is rumored to have a close personal relationship with Clarion, and Clarion may contact him to accept some tasks.

Bruce's trip is to try to see if he can find out any news.

He and Dawn are considered semi-disengaged. Dawn does not interfere with what Bruce wants to do, and only provides some support when he needs it.It didn't do Dawn any favors, but Bruce had no reason to refuse the help that came to his door.

This auction can be regarded as a relatively formal occasion. For this reason, Dawn's subordinate forces specially sent a car to take Bruce to change into suitable clothes.

Of course, this can't be Dawn's special order. This kind of auction is considered high-end in the eyes of ordinary people, but it's nothing to a behemoth like the Dawn family.Even if Dawn went there in beach shorts, no one dared to show him face.

Naturally, the suits prepared by his subordinates could not be compared with those prepared by O'Brien.

The last time I attended the dance held by Dawn, French shirts, cufflinks, watches, vests, and custom-made suits were indispensable, but for this auction, English shirts and suits were enough.

The suit was obviously prepared temporarily, and the brand label on the collar was not removed.But there was not enough time, and this auction didn't pay attention to so many details, so Bruce didn't force it.

When we arrived at the venue, the auction was about to start.

Due to time constraints, the waiter at the door did not register Bruce's information in detail as it should have been. Instead, after checking the invitation he brought, he temporarily registered Bruce's bidding number, and asked him to turn around and take it with him after signing. Leading the man hurriedly to the main hall.

Halfway along the long corridor, there was a sudden noise in the hall.

Bruce had arrived later than the others, and he clearly remembered that there was only one pair of guests behind him, and the dispute could only have occurred between the service staff in the front hall and the pair of guests.Yet auctions, if not fancy, don't employ staff who would argue with guests.

Especially now that the auction is about to start, neither the guests nor the service staff should want to waste time on useless disputes. After all, once the auction starts, guests will be prohibited from entering.

The commotion was unusual.

Bruce glanced back.The tall and thin young man who got out of the car behind him had already let go of his female companion, and for some reason, he was talking to a bodyguard standing at the reception desk with his head held high.

The distance was too far, and the speed of the other party's speech was too fast. Bruce couldn't hear what the other party said for a while, and only vaguely noticed the suppressed embarrassment and anger on the bodyguard's face.

Looks like he really wants to punch it.

Come, come, buy and leave, guess who is playing?
