They all call me master

Outside the door of No. 2 Kirk Street, a couple stood, followed by a coachman and bodyguard.

The couple are both well-dressed upper-class people. The man is wearing a four-piece suit and shirt. The head of the cane in his hand is a horse head carved from pure wood. The woman's long skirt looks simple, but the material is extraordinary silk. , and the pearl necklaces around the neck, each one is the same size, with a soft feeling of warmth in the morning light.

When they saw Arthur opening the door, the couple saluted and greeted him.

The level of etiquette standards is like measuring it with a ruler.

He is rich, literate, and has received upper-class training including etiquette, but he is not a nobleman - if he were a nobleman, he would not be able to come to him so openly.

It is even less possible to call for help.

The 'honor' of the nobles does not allow them to do this.

Moreover, when encountering problems, nobles have their own solutions.

"Hello, Mr. Kratos, excuse me for interrupting!"

The man handed his cane to his left hand and extended his right hand.

Arthur shook hands with the other party slightly, and then let go.

However, the calluses in the opponent's palms were extremely clear.

Arthur glanced at the man's clothes again. The ironed four-piece suit was very neat, but it was not new. The cane in his hand was full of traces of time. It didn't take ten years for it to be as good as it was. This effect, as well as the blue veins popping up on the back of the hand holding the head of the staff, showed that the other party was not calm in his heart, but he was still trying his best to endure it.

I have worked hard and have the quality of tenacity and the ability to calm myself down.

‘Isn’t it an inheritance, but a generation of wealthy businessmen who started their own businesses? ’

Arthur guessed, turned sideways, and raised his hand to invite the other couple to enter No. 2 Kirk Street - although Heywood was inside, there was nothing shameful about their relationship, especially when the acquisition of the haunted house began. Later, the relationship between the two will become more public knowledge, and it is far better to be honest about the employment relationship now.

Of course, the more important reason was that when Heywood saw the couple, he breathed twice.

Arthur was curious about the relationship.

Although in his plan, Heywood's 'haunted house purchase' was only at a secondary level of priority, Arthur still didn't want anything regrettable to happen.

"Hello, Mr. Bernice, Mrs. Bernice."

As the couple entered the medium's hall, Heywood immediately greeted them.

"Hello, who are you?"

After the man responded, he looked confused.

Obviously, the two parties did not know each other, and it should be Heywood who knew this Bernice unilaterally. After coming to this point, Arthur began to search for information about the name 'Bernis' in his mind.

And almost instantly, ‘Bernis Trading Company’ appeared in my mind.

After attending Malinda's salon invitation before, out of the need for review, Arthur had learned more about some of the famous business houses in South Los Angeles.

Among them, ‘Bernis Trading Company’ ranks among the best.

The main business is dock warehousing, and the side business is maritime transportation. A few shops and a clay workshop are all the "Bernis Trading Company" has.

Moreover, compared to the responsibilities of other trading houses, Bernice Trading Company is very pure - it is controlled only by the Bernice family... no, to be precise, it is controlled by Bernice alone.

Bernice's father was a craftsman who made clay vessels.

Bernice, who had been studying with his father since he was a child, was not content with the status quo. At the age of fifteen, he quietly went to sea for the first time and started working as a shipwreck.

It was during the Seven Years' War, with fierce fighting on the east and west coasts, and pirates rampant. Every time the ship was pressed, it was a risk of life, but there would also be matching benefits.

Within five years, Bernice had accumulated a lot of wealth and began to purchase a large amount of desolate land in the dock area and build warehouses.

Just one year later, with the end of the Seven Years' War, the land purchased by Bernice began to skyrocket. However, the son of a craftsman did not sell the land, but concentrated on transportation. Until now, This has made 'Bernis Trading Company' one of the best in South Los Angeles - there are rumors that half of the warehouses at the dock belong to Bernice.

"What happened?"

Arthur asked calmly.

In his 'Shadow Earl' plan, the dock is naturally indispensable.

The Bernice family, which owns a large number of warehouses, is obviously an excellent partner, but the young 'psychic medium' is not in a hurry.

The young ‘psychic’ knows very well how difficult it is for first-generation entrepreneurs with rich experience like Bernice.

If he takes the initiative to get involved, it will only make the other party wary and things will become more complicated, which is far less than 'business matters'.

"My son, Clay, has been missing for three days - he has never stayed up all night, let alone three days, and I have asked his friends and no one has seen him in these three days. This is also It’s impossible, he loves salons, and it’s impossible for him to stay away from people for such a long time.”

As soon as Arthur finished speaking, Mrs. Bernice said immediately.

At the same time, he also took out a portrait of his son Clay.

The Bernice family has two sons and one daughter.

Eldest son, Chloe.

Second son, Clay.

daughter, Edith.

Among them, Chloe, as the heir, has been studying with his father for a long time, while Clay, who also has the right to inherit, has no interest in the family business and has become a veritable lothario. His daughter Edith rarely appears in the public eye. , I only heard that my health was not good.

Arthur looked at the portrait.

The realistic style allows the young 'psychic medium' to confirm that Clay is a very handsome young man. In addition, he is worth a lot of money and should be very popular with girls - Bernice has already made a will. Among the children, the eldest son inherits 60% of the family property. This is only fair to the eldest son who has already helped his father. The remaining 40% is divided equally between the second son and the daughter. However, the property cannot be sold within twenty years and can only be Accept dividends.

But even so, its dividends are still a very considerable amount.

It is enough to attract the favor of many ladies.

While the young 'psychic medium' looked at Clay's portrait carefully, Mrs. Bernice continued.

“Since returning from the last ‘Chasing the Wind’, Clay has become very strange and somewhat mysterious.”

"'Chasing the Wind'?"

Arthur was stunned when he heard this term.

Mr. Bernice's face darkened.

Mrs. Bernice immediately raised her hand to comfort her husband before continuing.

"When the storm comes, chasing the storm and feeling the thunder, Clay thinks this is a symbol of courage - four days ago, when South Los Angeles was hit by a storm, Clay went to the dock to 'chasing the wind'."

"So that's it."

Arthur said this, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart.

How much time do you have to think of such a boring move?

Chasing the wind is also a symbol of courage?

Why don't you go after the Thunder?

You should really let the Countess who created the ‘storm’ drop a thunderbolt to let you experience what it means to be struck by five thunders.

And, more importantly, it is absolutely impossible to close the disappearance case immediately. It will take a lot of time to investigate and collect evidence to get a result.

This kind of elaborate approach is inconsistent with the identity of the 'spiritual medium' he created.

Therefore, he learned how old Charlie looked in his memory when he was 'communicating' with his clients. He leaned slightly into the chair, with pity appearing in his eyes, and his voice became calmer and calmer——

"There will always be creatures on earth who dare to face the power of thunder...

There are also arrogant people who are ignorant and blind without knowing it. Darkness, loneliness, blood, and everything broken will gather at that moment. "

The words were indifferent, but [bluffing] flashed quickly.
