Chapter 37: It's getting worse

Chapter 37: It's getting worse

Arthur's fiancee Martha is a very small woman.

The face is beautiful and pure, wearing a long light red slim dress, dressed very dignified, does not look like a person with deep scheming.

However, it was this person who made Arthur, a promising half-blood wizard, ridiculed, depressed, and decadent to the point that he even took the enemy's mother as his only means of revenge.

Therefore, when Arthur saw the person coming, his expression was tense and even a little distorted.

But then, his face returned to calm, or rather, pretended to be calm.

"Severe disaster?"

He sneered, "Worse than what happened to me?"

"Disasters are associated with a large number of fatalities..."

Martha replied in a low voice, looking at Arthur with a very complicated look, like guilt, pain, and even a little grievance.

However, since the man in front of him openly threw himself into Jim's arms and kissed at school, Arthur no longer believed in any of this woman's words and deeds.

"Ms. Elena from Roland Desserts often asks me why I haven't seen you in recent months."

His eyes fell, and his tone returned to normal.

"In the clothing store on the corner, the dress I made for you before has also been sold to others at a low price by the boss. The boss thought I was playing tricks on him and gave me a good scolding before selling it."

"Mr. Edward fell seriously ill a while ago. I thought about it for a long time and didn't think of what condolences to send. In the end, I had to buy some apples."

"The chihuahua dog that little Tom raised died, and he cried for several days. He also told me that he misses Sister Martha, and I hope that Sister Martha can visit him when she comes back. If you don't have time, can you? write a letter…"

Arthur seemed to be talking about some trivial things, but when he heard it in Martha's ears, it was unusually harsh, making her face turn pale involuntarily.

Because if there is no such thing, these trivial matters are actually her life.

But now, these words all turned into sharp knives, stabbed fiercely into her heart.

How sweet it used to be for all this, how sharp these knives are now!

Arthur didn't understand this.

So this is actually a basic conversation skill that Mellen gave him before. By uttering some key words and even some key paragraphs, the corresponding scene will naturally emerge in the mind of the conversation object.

A meaningless scene is useless, but if the scene is meaningful or even special to the conversation object, the corresponding emotions will naturally be aroused.

Then, when such emotions accumulate to a certain level, it becomes easy to manipulate the other person's thoughts and decisions.

It's just that the purpose of Mellon's hand to Arthur was to make rich women, but he never thought that Arthur would use such a brutal attack on his "ex-girlfriend".

The effect was not bad, so Arthur was secretly surprised.

It's a pity that even though her face became paler, the woman named Martha never responded.

Her final expression turned calm.

"Get out of here while no one notices you, or it will be too late."

Martha said in a low voice, after looking at Arthur reluctantly, she simply turned and left.

"Pretentious bitch."

Arthur sneered in return.

However, even though he despised his ex-fiancee so much, he couldn't withdraw his sight until the other party's back disappeared from the crowd.

Then suddenly I lost the thought of continuing to find the target person.

So he carried a bottle of rum, went to a sofa in the corner of the banquet hall, sat there and drank the boring wine to himself.

No one noticed the depressed young wizard.

A sudden masked dance made many young people very excited. They gathered in groups of three or five, chatting and discussing topics of interest to each other.

Lively turns a dance party into a place for anonymous dating.

So noise and silence, excitement and depression... Although they are in the same venue, the two sides seem to be standing in two worlds.

Until an elegant voice sounded, breaking the dull atmosphere in the corner.

"This rum needs to be in your mouth for at least ten seconds to release its true flavour, it's a waste to drink like you do."

The voice was very nice, but there was an inexplicable astringency. Along with the voice, there was also a fragrance of violets, which made Arthur couldn't help but look up at the person who came.

Seeing this, he was startled unconsciously.

The visitor wore a white lady's gauze hat, and his face was covered with a purple fox mask embellished with lace. When sitting on the sofa opposite, a pair of moist emerald green eyes were staring at Arthur with interest.

But that's not the point.

The point is, from her smooth chin and plump lips, how she looks like his enemy Jim.

Is it the goal?

Arthur was a little unsure about this.

He didn't know what Jim's mother looked like, but he had only heard about it, she was a woman with an ordinary face.

But right now, even if you only look at the chin and lips, it seems that it can't be described as ordinary...

However, a woman who looks similar to Jim, not his mother, who else could it be?

"Maybe the rumors are wrong..."

"That's right, with Jim's looks, how could his mother be a woman with an ordinary face?"

There are a lot of knowledge points to memorize in these two days, so Arthur completely forgot that Merron once said a word to him.

That's someone like Jim's mother, even if they admire someone, they are unlikely to take the initiative to strike up a conversation.

So Arthur, who thought he really got the favor of his fate, was a little excited.

But he had experienced a blow that an ordinary person might never have experienced in his entire life, but he was calm on the surface.

"If one's in a bad mood, all those so-called wine tastings turn into shit."

He answered in a low tone.

Because he drank a bit too much, he is no longer nervous when he first entered the banquet hall, and his mind is particularly active.

Mellen had told him before that a man with vicissitudes was very attractive to a girl, and sometimes, middle-aged women were actually girls, but most people would subconsciously ignore this.

Arthur is very vicissitudes now, not pretending, after all, he just met that vicious fiancee, so what he does now is a little boring.

And Mellon also said that although a lady with a good family education is difficult to accept a person swearing outside.

But if this lady is a middle-aged woman and her life has not changed in recent years, then they will actually be more eager for a little unexpected excitement.

Therefore, making one's words and deeds wild and ignoring the so-called rules and etiquette is more attractive than the rules - the latter is seen by many people.

Will it be more attractive Arthur doesn't know, but after sitting on the opposite sofa, Erlang's legs are straight up, obviously he has no intention of leaving.

Moreover, judging from this action, she is obviously not a law-abiding lady.

"well said."

Unlike a lady, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she said with a smile: "But if you're in a bad mood, I suggest you drink something stronger than this, otherwise it will only get boring."

When speaking, this man picked up a silver wine glass on the table and poured himself a glass of wine, but instead of drinking it, he casually played with his fingers on the glass.

Her fingers are very white, and the nails are painted with a touch of pink, which contrasts with the textured wine glass, making it difficult to look away.

At the same time, those moist emerald green eyes were always circling Arthur with interest, as if they were very interested in him.

She is such a charming woman...

Arthur's eyes were a little dazed unconsciously, and then he lowered his head and pursed his lips.

"I very much hope to drink the Dragonflame Wine of the Northern Empire, but unfortunately I can't afford it."

He did not hide his gaffe, nor did he conceal that he was a "bottom of wizarding society".

Melon said that only the strong can completely conquer the heart of a "rich woman", but if you are not strong, then positioning yourself as a weak person and being conquered by a rich woman is also a shortcut.

However, he said that the premise of this situation is to arouse the interest of the rich woman in some aspects, otherwise even if you pretend to be weak, it will be no different from other weak people, but it will make people look down on it.

Arthur felt that he should have aroused the interest of the lady opposite him now, so he naturally spoke according to Merron's teaching.

"Since the owner of the manor didn't provide Longyan, I'm not very interested in anything else."

"So, you like this silver rum?"

"It can't be said that I like it, I just asked the waiter for a bottle of the most stocked wine here."

"Is that so..."

The lady nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly changed the conversation.

"By the way, I haven't asked what your name is yet?"

"Arthur, is a mixed race."

Arthur answered without concealment.

Mellen said that even if you can get on the line with the target, it must be repeated several times to have a "result", and you can't expect any progress from the first meeting.

During this period, if the other party wants to check his information, it is actually very easy. Lying now will only make the target's impression of him greatly diminish in the future.

So there is no need to hide at all.

Although mentioning his name on the first meeting may remind the other person of what Jim did.

But when the status gap between the two sides is large enough, this kind of conflict between children does not actually make the other side hostile.

Because it's totally unqualified.

After the wealthy woman who took the initiative looked at Arthur's complete failure with her son and even was robbed of his fiancée, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com would have a sense of complete control over him, thinking that Arthur would not bring him. What a threat to her.

In contrast, if the rich woman is someone who is eager to break the ordinary life and has a little interest in Arthur, then this matter will bring her a strange kind of stimulation.

According to Mellen, this is called a sense of immorality.

"Arthur?"

The other party was obviously stunned when he heard the words, but then he didn't see any alienation, but looked at Arthur more carefully.

When his eyes flickered, it seemed... suddenly became very excited?

"You are the Arthur who was robbed of his fiancée with extreme humiliation, and he was still enduring it?"

"If you want to laugh, feel free."

Arthur replied with a blank face, "There are hundreds of people who laugh at me, and you are not one of them."

"I just wanted to know..."

The lady smiled and said: "How do you feel when you see your fiancee thrown into the arms of the enemy?"

"The feeling of hopelessness in life."

Arthur replied slightly annoyed, "Are you satisfied?"

He was really annoyed, because he felt that the other party was now taking pleasure in exposing his own scars, rather than simply being interested in this issue.

In other words, Jim's mother in front of him doesn't seem to be a normal person!

"very satisfied."

The smile on Jim's mother's face, who was not considered normal, grew even stronger.

"But if you'd like to accompany me around the back garden here, I think I'd be more satisfied."

These words were simply unpredictable, and completely exceeded Mellen's previous statements.

Arthur was stunned unconsciously.
