the days before i bought the galaxy

As soon as he stepped into the living room, Warren smelled the scent of flowers.

The black and white mosaic inlaid a circular pattern on the ground, with a white lily in the center of the pattern. This flower is the symbol of Bethel's business circle. The pistil and the six stamens surrounding the pistil represent Bethel respectively. Six of the most famous planets in Seoul and business circles.

The dome of the hall is supported by twelve Roman columns, and in the center of the dome is a huge crystal lamp, which is adorned with countless dazzling diamonds.The top of each Roman column is engraved with an angel relief.This sculpture surrounded by two angels, which can be seen everywhere in Bethel, symbolizes fairness and justice, which are the two most important codes of conduct in Bethel's business circle.

There are many white marble shelves on both sides of the hall, and many flowers are placed on them, most of which are lilies of different varieties.Warren even saw a double lily with a slightly smaller flower blooming again in the center of the flower, which was very unusual.

Otherwise, there was only a large rectangular desk and a few chairs in the rotunda.A man was standing behind the desk, with his back to the door, pruning an unknown plant.

"Uncle Henry!" cried Millet joyfully.

The man turned around, revealing a rather serious face.He is about 40 years old and has obvious nasolabial folds on his face, but he is still full of the charm of a mature man.He has dark brown hair mixed with some white hair at the temples.The combination of deep sunken eye sockets, straight nose bridge and square chin gives people an impression of justice and honesty, and the smile he showed after seeing Millet perfectly interprets the word love.

Warren knew that the man was Bethel administrator Henry Wickham.This man who holds the highest power in the entire business circle is wearing a white military uniform, and the Silver Wing Medal on the left chest shows that he has served in the strongest flying squadron of the Federation.In addition, the dirt on his fingers also makes people aware that he is not a person who sticks to small things.

"Hello, Your Excellency the Administrator, Your Majesty Warren Slim." Warren greeted politely.

"Warren, I've heard of you! Just call me Henry like Millet."

Henry Wickham wiped his fingers with a towel, sat down at the desk, and motioned for Warren and Millet to sit across from him.

"What do you think of my flowers? I'm trying my best to find the most suitable arrangement. There are huge differences in their varieties. It's really not easy to arrange them together in an orderly manner and highlight their beauty. "

Henry's casual attitude allowed Warren to appreciate once again the closeness between Millet and her.Undoubtedly, this place is used by the administrator to receive those who are close to him. Even the flowers placed here are the administrator's favorite varieties, which can be seen from the fact that he tends these plants with his own hands.

"I think it's the 'order' you're after that prevents these flowers from showing their individual beauty." Warren smiled, and continued, "I was once in a place where many plants were randomly placed together. , but it doesn’t look disorganized at all. No matter from which angle, every plant is so pleasing to the eye, making people feel like they are in a secret place.”

Warren's eloquence surprised two other people in the hall.Henry was very satisfied with this.This 17-year-old young man is much better than he imagined, at least Warren did not show the slightest timidity when facing the powerful.

If the administrator had a higher opinion of Warren at this time, Millet's mood was a little subtle.The smarter Warren is, the less convenient it is for her to calculate and use. At present, Warren's performance is close to the highest range she can bear. If there is another unexpected situation, she will have to consider another candidate.

"You're right." Henry nodded, "Plants are originally grown in the natural environment, and the deliberate pursuit of order can only make them featureless. Where did you see what you said? This makes I was very curious. I thought I had seen all the famous gardens around Bethel."

"It was on the ship under the crown of Archbishop Julius, and he is quite good at growing flowers." Warren said with a smile.

Millet couldn't help but suspect Warren's intentions in saying this at this moment.Is it to deliberately raise his status, or to win over the administrator?

Henry nodded thoughtfully: "No wonder. The Holy Light sect is pursuing the balance of the universe. His Majesty the Archbishop must understand the true meaning of nature better than me. But for me, order is always the first priority. It's like Compared with maintaining order in Bethel, my personal interest will always be only a second priority."

Although Henry's tone was calm, Warren could feel his rock-like conviction, which made Warren admire the man who revitalized Bethel.

"Everyone's pursuit is different, and the flowers they grow are naturally different." Henry continued, "It seems that you appreciate the teachings of the Holy Light Sect more. Are you a believer?"

Warren shook his head. "No, Julius said I wasn't fit for mental training."

"Then what is your pursuit?" Henry's momentum became stronger in an instant.He fixed his eyes on Warren as if trying to see through him for what he was.

Warren didn't feel nervous at all. "Fame and money, I only pursue these two things." He replied with a smile.

The administrator couldn't help but smile: "There are very few young people who are as straightforward as you, especially in front of me."

"That's because they don't possess a virtue."

Although Warren's smile can be said to be a little presumptuous at this time, Henry did not blame him for it. "Oh? Excuse me, what virtue is it?" His tone was more relaxed than before, and he even withdrew the pressure he had released on purpose.

"I never lie."

Millet tried her best not to show a mocking expression. It seemed impossible to her not to tell a lie.

Henry looked Warren from head to toe with his eyes again, and then he said with emotion: "I always thought this day came a little early. When Millet was young, I was still with Will, he was Mi Lit's father, jokingly talked about what kind of boy would be needed to marry our little sweetheart. We listed one condition after another, and finally thought that searching the entire galaxy may not be able to find a boy who meets all the requirements."

Henry paused and smiled: "This is a common problem of all fathers. They always think that their daughter is the most perfect, and no one is worthy of her. Will always said that he would prepare everything for Millet, She supports a sky that will never collapse. With this belief, Will and I, and the first-generation developers, we have polished the brilliance of this city bit by bit, making it a The brightest pearl in the universe. This is where our dreams come together, and the dreams we want to pass on to the next generation."

"I always thought that Will could see with his own eyes the day Millet got married, handing over the hands of his beloved daughter to a reliable boy, but he left us one step earlier." Henry sighed, "In Mi I was really surprised when Ritter said she found a fiancé for herself. I don't want her to make too hasty a decision, I want her to find a match. But when I see you, I think You are that man. Warren, I see ambition in you, but not unprincipled ambition, which is very rare. I believe you can bring happiness to Millet, and I will take her place in Will's place. Hand it over to you. But you have to assure me that you will treat her kindly, just like treating your own eyes. I don’t want to lock up your future with a city, and you can venture into a wider universe. But I You are welcome back anytime and anywhere, Bethel will always be your home!"

"Don't say it! Don't say it anymore!" Crystal tears fell from the girl's eyes.Millet walked over and gave Henry a hug. "Thank you, Uncle Henry! Thank you! Huh... Father's spirit in heaven will definitely thank you..."

"Okay, okay, we're all big girls, don't cry anymore. Speaking of the wedding, when do you plan to have the wedding? Do it with me then!" Henry patted Millet on the back, like Comfort her like a little girl.

"I still have four years to officially become an adult." Warren said with a smile, "so the wedding will not be held until four years at the earliest. At that time, I will discuss with Millet how to arrange it, which can be held at the executive mansion It was an honor for us to have our wedding."

"Haha, young people's affairs should be decided by young people themselves. Millet, have you taken Warren around Bethel? There will be an awards ceremony dedicated to him in a few days. This year's business awards , although Warren is the youngest winner in history, there is no water in it!"

"Not yet." Millet blushed a little, looking as if she was really shy, "Warren just arrived this afternoon, we plan to sign the marriage agreement tomorrow, and then I will slowly introduce him to you. Everything about Bethel."

"Is the agreement going to be signed tomorrow? Are you really not thinking about it anymore?" Henry glanced at the expressions on the faces of the two, and laughed loudly, "I'm just kidding, I'll congratulate you in advance!"

"Thank you, Uncle Henry."

The three chatted for a while before Warren and Millet got up to say goodbye to the administrator.The banquet outside had just reached its climax, but neither Warren nor Mirit had any intention of staying.They stayed for a while longer, then left the banquet hall early.

After leaving the administrator's mansion, Millet offered to take Warren back to the hotel, but Warren politely declined.

"I want to take a stroll nearby." Warren said with a smile, "It's rare to enjoy such a charming night view."

"Want me to accompany you?"

"No, Ma'am, it's better to go home earlier, I will let Lan pick me up."

Warren's answer dissuaded Millet from staying.She wasn't sure if Warren really meant to hang out or if he wanted to do something else.Tonight she had spoken at the banquet about the marriage between the Slims and the Lesleys, and the news would soon reach someone.In view of the other party's arrogant attitude, although Warren will not be in danger of his life, it is inevitable that he will be threatened and taught a lesson.At this time, he suddenly said that he wanted to wander around casually. Could it be that he wanted to lure the snake out of the hole?

Millet immediately vetoed this speculation.She felt that Warren, who had never been to the city, was more likely to want to enjoy the night scene than deliberately lure the snake out of the hole.Or does he want to go for a walk with that blue?Hope they don't suffer tonight.But even if it doesn't happen today, sooner or later that person will make a move.Millet said goodbye to Warren with a smile, and left in the airship.

Warren, who was left in place, glanced left and right at the street scene. There were bright lights in both directions, and the night in Bethel was lively but orderly.He chose a direction at random and walked forward, found a bus stop, and got on it.About 20 minutes later, he found another random place to get off.

The front looks like a bustling bar area.Warren picked a bar with a more suitable exterior decoration to go in. What he has to do now is to sit on the sidelines and wait for the rabbit.
