Chapter 180 Father-in-law visits son-in-law?
At the entrance of the villa.
Hibbert saw Hasta off. After he walked out of the door, he said, "Hasta, why did you refuse this kindness just now?"
"It was too sudden. It felt out of control."
Hasta sighed. He had been thinking about this question all the way.
He needed Earl Hall's help, and Earl Hall also made it clear that he would support him and even paved a smooth road for him.
Why would he refuse such a good condition?
Why not just accept it frankly?
Hibbert looked at Hasta deeply and said, "Hasta, you can never control everything."
"I understand this truth."
Hasta nodded. He really understood this truth.
But facing Earl Hall's sudden kindness, his first thought was to refuse.
At that time, he felt that as long as he agreed, he would be tied to the chariot of the Hall family.
Benefits and human feelings... In this regard, he is indeed not a qualified noble.
The lesson tonight is worth recalling.
Seeing Hasta's distressed expression, Hibbert smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "This is just the first meeting. You will have a chance to please our Earl Hall in the future."
"I hope so."
Hasta could only pin all his hopes on the hound that had not yet been trained.
But he felt that after this incident, it was very unlikely to repair his relationship with Earl Hall.
"Think about what my father said after you go back. He usually doesn't say too many irrelevant words to people."
Hibbert left Hasta the last words and watched Hasta leave in the carriage.
After Hasta's carriage went away, he frowned slightly. To be honest, he didn't understand Earl Hall's thoughts tonight.
Even if he wanted to help Hasta get promoted to the title, he shouldn't be so blunt and direct, right?
The Loen nobles have always been a symbol of restraint.
He couldn't figure it out just like Hasta.
Back to the villa, came to the study, Earl Hall was waiting for him to come back in the study.
His face was very calm, and he didn't look angry and drove people away just now.
Hibbert walked in and said with a smile: "Your behavior tonight seems to have frightened him."
"Why do you think I suddenly said those words?"
"You want to let Hasta know through this incident that nobles put interests first, and they are too naive and innocent to enter the political arena."
Hibbert thought a lot along the way, and he seemed very calm in the face of Earl Hall's test.
"I'll give you another chance."
Earl Hall's rejection made Hibbert's expression slightly stiff, and then he fell into deep thought.
After a long time, Hibbert said uncertainly: "Are you really angry about the friendship between Hasta and Audrey? So you deliberately use this method to scare him away?"
Earl Hall's face sank, and invisible majesty enveloped Hibbert, "In this regard, Hasta is right, you are really stupid, you can only see what happened on the surface, and then make associations without authorization."
"..."
Hibbert, who was scolded, couldn't say a word, and sighed in his heart. Even Hasta, the person involved, didn't understand this problem, so how could he, an outsider, see it through completely.
"It is true that the nobles are all about interests, but not everyone is willing to accept this. In addition to interests, there are also favors."
"The reason why he rejected my kindness is that the help he sought is to offset it with interests, not by owing favors."
"This is his confidence and his naivety. In my position, he is just a baron. What benefits can he bring to me?"
Hibbert listened to Earl Hall's lecture and said thoughtfully: "Do you want to use favors to bind Hasta to the chariot of our Hall family?"
Earl Hall smiled, but still rejected Hibbert's guess, "This is also what he can't figure out."
"..."
Hibbert really wanted to say, why do you have to be so roundabout?
I can understand that my father has many tricks, but why does Hasta have so many tricks?
He is so young!
How did he notice something wrong from his father's question?
"In fact, I am very satisfied with his performance tonight."
Earl Hall suddenly changed the topic, and Hibbert almost couldn't keep up with his train of thought.
He had just had a stern face and issued an order to expel the guest in a stern tone, but now he said he was very satisfied with Hastur?
After thinking for a while, Hibbert asked his confusion, "If you are very satisfied, why do you want to be a villain for no reason?"
"Hastur's performance tonight is too simple and naive, and he still lacks real tempering. Giving him a little setback can make him go further."
Hibbert couldn't understand this again.
Is he satisfied with Hastur's simplicity and innocence, or dissatisfied?
"At this stage, I am very satisfied with his simplicity and innocence in some aspects. This may be the reason why Audrey is willing to get close to him. It is relatively pure and without too many selfish desires."
"..."
Hibbert turned his body silently and didn't speak.
Just now, he said that he made an association between Hastur and Audrey without authorization.
But what about the beloved Earl Hall?
Isn't what he did a test of Hastur's character?
Father-in-law looking at son-in-law?
His sense of substitution is stronger than mine!
Hibbert was sure that Earl Hall must have his own personal emotions regarding this matter tonight.
Especially when he scolded Hastur for being naive and asked him to leave.
…
Hastur returned home and sat in the study thinking about Earl Hall's intentions tonight.
He didn't think Earl Hall was a person who would show his emotions so easily, but his performance tonight was very puzzling.
He showed kindness in front of him, but then he told him to go home directly.
"It's inexplicable."
Hasta sighed, took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. It was already past ten o'clock.
He had no intention of continuing to think about this issue.
No matter what Earl Hall's true thoughts are, just take your time and go your own way.
After walking out of the study, Butler Neil looked sad at the door. In the end, he couldn't help but said: "I have always believed that the future of Lord Baron is limitless. I hope you will not be discouraged because of what happened tonight."
"..."
Hasta was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Butler Neil, thank you for your comfort."
Butler Neil gave Hastur a look that encouraged him to work hard, and then went to do other things.
"Even Butler Neil is so good at making associations, so no wonder Greco and Hibbert are thinking wrongly. Fortunately, Miss Audrey is not thinking wildly."
Hastur murmured, choosing to take a bath and then go back to his room to rest.
The Hall of Stars.
Hastur's eyes fell on the star where the High Dimensional Overlooker was.
The white crystal eyeball, which was originally normal, was discovered by the personnel guarding the bell tower. They regarded this thing as a divine object given by God, and even built a small chapel to enshrine the white crystal eyeball.
The white crystal eyeballs emit a hazy light, which seems to be affecting the people around them.
But not many people come to believe in it. Most of them come to watch it just out of curiosity.
Except for the clockkeeper who discovered it, other personnel did not show too much fanatical worship.
"There should be the consciousness of a high-dimensional observer in the white crystal eyeball, otherwise I shouldn't be able to see this scene."
"Does the high-dimensional overlooker want to develop his own followers in this way?"
"This is too casual. It doesn't show any miracles, nor does it show anything too abnormal, except for the fact that it emits a little light."
Hastur stared for a long time, but chose to continue watching.
If the high-dimensional overlooker really develops his followers in this way, it can also provide him with some future reference.
After looking at this side, I looked at another small spot of light.
The incarnation of the High-dimensional Overlooker no longer stayed at the seaside, but was sailing on the sea following a ship.
His attire has changed into a classic sailor look, and he even does hard work on the ship.
"Did you come here specifically to experience life?"
Hastur really doesn’t understand the thoughts of a high-dimensional overlooker.
After watching for a while, Hastur glanced at the other stars.
There is nothing unusual about it, only the lamp god is unfortunately sealed in the wishing lamp.
…
Late at night, in Mrs. Germani's room.
The crimson light outside the window spread little by little along the edge of the window, and a shadow that melted into the darkness silently came into the room from outside the window.
Mrs. Gemeni, who was already lying in bed, woke up immediately and looked at the graceful figure in front of the mirror as if there was no one around.
"You came in through the window again, don't you have a long memory?"
"Don't be so cold. I didn't mean to hurt your sweetheart last time. Besides, I was the one who suffered the loss. He stabbed me hard in the heart."
Moraka took off all her clothes in front of the mirror, then walked naked to the bed, lifted the quilt and lay down in it.
Before Mrs. Gemani could refuse, she took Mrs. Gemani's hand and placed it on her lower abdomen. She said in a bewitching tone: "I still have his breath left here."
"His sword penetrated my lower abdomen from here, and he stirred it hard. That feeling is really unforgettable."
"Don't you want to follow the passage he opened and come in to take a look?"
Soon, the quilt was covered, and a suppressed moan floated from the room to the window.
The crimson moon in the sky wanted to take a closer look at this beautiful scene, but was blocked by black clouds.
