Chapter 87 Brown's Visitors
"Miss Whitehead...it's a privilege to see you." Brown stood up immediately. He didn't expect that he had just received a telegram from his home and his "fiancee" walked into his office. Given the other party's prominent identity, Brown saluted the lady of the Marquis's family with noble etiquette, and then said: "I just received this news, thank the Marquis Whitehead for his care for the Jennings family."
Anne did not put on the airs of a high-ranking noble in front of Brown. She walked to the desk and sat opposite Brown, and said, "Just call me Anne... I call you Brown, these seem intimate. Maybe you have guessed something, and I admit... Our engagement is to facilitate my contact with your friends. After all, your friends don't want too many people to know their identities, and I will definitely not avoid meeting Master Liang in the future. For unnecessary trouble, I need a reasonable identity.
As a noble child of the empire, the future Viscount Jennings, you have the obligation to contribute to the empire and need to tell me everything you know."
Brown sat back in his position, looking at Anne, thinking about how he should deal with the current situation. After repeated thinking, he replied to Anne: "Miss Anne... The honor of the Jennings family is indeed given by the Empire. I have been a citizen of the Empire. I have the obligation to serve the Empire. But I cannot participate in this matter... Since you say they are my friends, I cannot do the business of selling friends, at least I will not disclose any information about them to you until they threaten the security of the Empire."
Annie didn't expect that Brown was so stubborn. Robin and Eric knew too little about these ancient heroes, so they only got a few names and then spent 500,000 pounds for her. Although Annie was very happy with this money, she actually felt very painful.
In front of him, Brown, the eldest son of the Jennings family and the ancient heroes came to Saroyang City. Anne has conducted a survey these days. Brown took a train to leave Flormink alone, and the train he took was a day earlier than the one he took. In other words, Brown left the train on the Death Desert, and then boarded the train in the Death Desert one day after disappearing one day.
The train will not stop in the Death Desert... On the day he disappeared, he must have encountered this group of ancient heroes, just within the Death Desert.
From this we can conclude that Brown must have known many secrets about these ancient heroes, more than Robin and others, and these secrets were something Anne was eager to know.
Even Anne ignored her reputation and asked Marquis Whitehead to marry herself to the eldest son of a country baron's family to obtain more information and opportunities to contact these ancient heroes.
However, Brown refused to reveal the secrets about the ancient heroes, even if his father was Jinxun as viscount, his younger brother was promoted to major commander, even if he had a fiancée from the Marquis's family.
Annie did not show any anger since she was a child. She smiled and said, "I didn't mean to betray your friend... If you don't want to say anything, I won't force you to say it. But your father has promised my father's engagement, so you need to treat me like a fiancé in the future.
Stay shopping with me, play with me, watch movies with me... You don't need to be wary of me. Maybe I will really fall in love with you, and you will fall in love with me, and then we have a happy and happy family."
Brown frowned, and he said with some doubts: "You don't really have the intention to marry me, right? This is just a engagement. For the Florminke nobles, engagement is for the benefit of the family...it can be torn up at any time. I am just a professor in the Magic Academy with no political ambitions. If you just want to contact my friends through me... as long as you don't do anything, I can help you.
There is no need to date. I don’t know much. For you... I will soon have no value, and I am happy to take the initiative to terminate the engagement to maintain your reputation."
Anne kept looking at Brown, trying to see what he was thinking from his eyes. Accepting a marriage with the Whitehead family, whether true or false, could bring him huge political benefits. If he could really marry him, he would definitely become the new crown in the empire. In fact, Anne did not reject marrying Brown, as long as Brown had this value... This is also the fate of being born in the Whitehead family.
"You are a kind person." Anne could only give Brown this comment, and began to re-examine the eldest son of the country noble, saying, "But... you have to do what a fiancé wants to do on dates, send flowers, etc., because there are many people staring at me in Saroyang, most of whom are not good intentions. If you don't want to cause trouble for your friends, play your role well now."
Before Brown could answer, the office door was pushed open, and the voice came in first: "What trouble? Brown... Are you in trouble?"
Hearing the voice, Brown immediately stood up to greet him and said, "Dear Master Liang, I didn't expect you to come... and Miss Purple Spirit, Miss Black Pearl, Miss Sophia. Please let me introduce you to you, this is Miss Anne Whitehead, Marquis Whitehead's eldest daughter..."
The one who came in was Daliang who visited the Wharf Magic Academy. The ones who came in with him were Princess Purple Spirit, Black Pearl and Sophia.
Miss Anne didn't expect to meet these ancient heroes here. She also stood up and saluted Daliang, saying, "Master Liang, it's a great honor to see you... I am Anne, I believe you already know my job, I am the new Director of the Special Security Bureau. Robin and Eric who serve you are my subordinates..."
Daliang walked straight to Brown and Anne, and then sat down to the floor... Princess Purple Spirit waved her hand, and a crystal seat appeared behind Daliang, just holding up his butt. Then the crystal seat rose and raised to a height that could face Brown and Anne.
"Miss Anne, of course I know you. Thank you for giving me another 100,000 pounds to make me rich to do more. The first cooperation made me feel very happy. If there are evil cultists and demons who need to be killed in the future, you should have seen my efficiency in doing things."
With 500,000 gold coins, Annie's heart hurts again.
She looked at the child in front of her and felt the pressure coming... Just like Robin and Eric reported, she should never treat him as a child. It was not something a child could do after earning 500,000 pounds from her hands in five days. And Anne also knew that the other party took the money she gave and bought property when the house prices of Saroyang fell sharply... She even suspected that the evil believers and demons had been killed by them long ago, because they had to suppress the house prices and waited for a few more days before handing over it, otherwise it would not be so coincidental... As soon as the reward period of 100,000 pounds arrived, they notified Robin to receive the goods.
Now this child is already an invisible rich man in Saroyang City.
Anne and Robin had already reached a consensus on these heroes from ancient times: to appease, cooperate, and “be friends”… so Anne replied: “This money is really worth the money for me and the empire. The evil believers and demons who threaten the safety of the city have been eliminated, and the city of Saroyang will soon be restored to prosperity. Thank you Master Liang for everything you have done for this city.
Thank you for your care for Brown…”
After saying that... Anne leaned against Robin, looking intimate.
