Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

When Audis arrived on the first floor, he saw two groups confronting each other. One group was dressed in dark-colored clothes and looked quite organized.

Old acquaintance Mike and "Sherlock Detective" were standing opposite this group.

But they weren't the only ones confronting that group. There were also waiters, cooks, and bouncers from the 'Nanmu Ballroom'.

Although they hadn't received explicit orders to protect this reporter, they vaguely had the posture of guarding Mike in the middle.

Mandy, on the other hand, was negotiating with the other party in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, warning them not to affect the ballroom's business.

Guests and ladies were hiding in the distance, and the band had stopped playing. Everyone was paying attention to the confrontation between these two groups.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what happened here?" Audis asked, feigning surprise, "Why is no one dancing on the dance floor? Why did the band stop playing?"

Seeing Audis, Mandy breathed a slight sigh of relief and smiled as she introduced him to the group opposite, "This is Mr. Gahl."

The leader of the other party was a man in his thirties with small eyes who didn't look particularly fierce. His subordinates whispered a brief introduction of Mr. Gahl into his ear.

This made the man squeeze out a smile, "Mr. Gahl, we've met before, at a ball hosted by a nobleman."

"I haven't attended a ball in a long time," Audis said. "If you're here to spend money, you're welcome. Considering we've met before, I'll even send you two bottles of wine.

"But if you're here to cause trouble, I'm sorry, please leave immediately."

"We're here to find someone," the man pointed at Mike. "Please have this gentleman come with us for a while."

Audis said lightly, "He's also a guest here. I don't care about other places, but here, he can sit on the sofa if he wants to, and he doesn't have to leave if he doesn't want to."

The waiters, cooks, and bouncers seemed to have received some kind of order, moving behind Audis and standing in front of Mike.

The man with small eyes, who had been speaking to Audis, took a deep breath after seeing this situation and said, "This is a disappointing answer. I will report this matter to Viscount Vede."

"Please do so."

The man's face darkened, and he waved his hand behind him. Most of his subordinates left the ballroom, while the man took a few subordinates and sat on the sofa not far away, obviously preparing to keep a close eye on Mike.

Audis said to the band, "Continue playing."

He also said to the waiters and cooks, "Go about your business."

As the music started, applause suddenly rang out around the dance floor. At first, it was sparse, but then it became a continuous wave.

Audis smiled. This was applause for him and Mike.

At the same time, this applause made Viscount Vede's few subordinates feel a little uneasy.

Soon, people started dancing on the dance floor again, and the ballroom returned to its previous liveliness.

Audis gestured for Mike and Klein to sit down, then he also sat aside, cutting a cigar while asking, "Are you here to spend money? Or do you want me to provide protection?"

Klein said, "I hope you can provide protection."

Audis smiled, "That's honest enough."

Mike frowned and said, "I didn't expect that this Viscount Vede would be so overwhelmed by anger that he would try to take me away in front of so many people."

For Viscount Vede to do such a thing at this time would only draw more attention to the matter.

"Haven't you read today's evening paper yet?" Audis asked, toasting the cigar with a lighter.

Mike suddenly guessed what was happening, "Other newspapers couldn't withstand the pressure and started reporting on this matter too?"

Audis had seen the 'Loen Evening News' at the pharmacy, "Yes, I believe that's what angered Viscount Vede."

The three of them listened to the soothing music and watched the lively dance floor, falling silent for a few seconds.

Of course, they weren't in the mood to appreciate the music at this time, each thinking about their own concerns.

A few seconds later, Klein spoke first, "Viscount Vede is likely to send people again, or use his connections to have the police or someone from some department take Mike away."

"Yes, that's what I think too," Audis said, taking a puff of his cigar. "We can't wait any longer, or we'll be very passive."

Hearing Mr. Gahl say 'we', Mike was very moved, "The truth can no longer be concealed. My purpose in reporting the truth under pressure has been achieved.

"Thank you both for your protection. I want to write a report about what happened today, so let them take me away, otherwise…"

Audis raised his hand, "Things haven't reached that point yet. What if Viscount Vede is tied up with something and doesn't have time to deal with this matter?"

Klein was slightly stunned, "You… you're not going to send someone to set a fire again, are you?"

"Please watch your words. What do you mean by 'again'?" Audis said seriously, "It was a fire caused by aging gas pipes. What does it have to do with me?"

Klein resisted the urge to twitch his lips.

"However, that's a pretty good suggestion," Audis said. "If Viscount Vede is busy putting out a fire tonight, he won't have time to catch Mr. Mike."

Klein thought, 'Hey, hey, hey, don't make false accusations, okay? How did it become my suggestion?'

But now wasn't the time to argue about this. He reminded, "I heard that Viscount Vede has some influence in Backlund, and after all, he's a nobleman with optimistic financial situation, so his residence must have some powerful Beyonders."

Audis nodded, "You're right, but I remember that Viscount Vede just got a new mistress last year, who has fascinated the Viscount very much.

"If a fire breaks out there, I believe the Viscount will be putting out the fire, comforting her, and arranging a new residence, and he'll probably spend the night there.

"By the time he pays attention to us again, it will already be tomorrow morning."

Mike opened his mouth, "This, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"Don't worry, no one will get hurt," Audis waved to Mandy, asking her to immediately notify Enoch to send someone to prevent the fire from spreading.

Even if Viscount Vede likes a mistress, he won't send her a Beyonder bodyguard, so it's okay to let Enoch handle this matter.

After Mandy sent her assistant to notify Enoch, Audis asked her to use the 'Nanmu Ballroom's' intelligence network to reveal to the radical nobles that Viscount Vede was arresting reporter Mike.

Viscount Vede was a staunch conservative, and one of the more extreme ones.

Judging from some of the nobles' reactions today, the radicals seemed to want to use Viscount Vede's incident to launch an attack on the conservatives, and Audis was very willing to provide them with some material.

Nobles, of course, don't care about the life or death of a reporter, but they can use this to attack Viscount Vede for being narrow-minded. Among nobles, this is very severe criticism and attack.

However, nobles generally act very slowly. The so-called radicals refer to their radical ideas, not their radical methods.

According to the habits of the nobles, they will definitely prepare and contact each other before launching an attack on the conservatives.

By that time, it is estimated that Mike will have been buried.

So, the most important thing now is to help Mike delay for a few more days.

Audis took a deep breath and asked Mandy to organize a file on Viscount Vede.

At this time, Klein suddenly said, "Sorry, I'm going to the restroom."

After he left, Mike said, "This detective seems to have a bad stomach. When he accepted my commission, he hurriedly went to the restroom."

Audis smiled slightly. Because that was his kingdom of God, of course he had to go and take a look often.

But then, he couldn't laugh, because he guessed why Klein wanted to go to the restroom.

After thinking about it for a moment, Audis called a waiter over and asked him to arrange a spacious room for Mike and 'Sherlock Detective'.

So he took the opportunity to follow Mike and the waiter to the third floor, and then excused himself to leave, returning to the room with the 'teleportation array'.

Just now, he had blocked Viscount Vede's subordinates, and Mike was temporarily safe, so there was no need to always be by his side.

After closing the door, Audis quickly took off his mask, took off his trench coat, and put it in the closet.

Just as he had finished dealing with 'Mr. Gahl's' equipment, he received a notification from Mr. Fool, asking him to prepare the altar for the bestowment ritual.

Audis quickly found two candles and drew the symbol representing Mr. Fool in the middle of the candles.

He also knew that Mr. Fool was in a hurry at this time, so he set up the altar as quickly as possible and quickly completed the prayer for the bestowment ritual.

The illusory door with mysterious patterns opened in front of him, and two 'Flying Peng Tree Fruits' appeared on the altar.

After Audis put away the extraordinary materials in a box, he quickly put on his trench coat again, put on his mask, and walked out quickly to take a look at the room that the waiter had arranged for Mike.

Not long after, Klein also came up from the first floor and smiled helplessly when he saw the pink-dominated room.

Audis said to them, "Don't find any ladies to accompany you tonight. Be careful tonight, and go to Mandy if you need anything."

After speaking, he said goodbye to Mike and Klein, took the information about Viscount Vede from Mandy, and came to the room with the 'teleportation array' again.

Carrying the 'Flying Peng Tree Fruit', Audis returned to the herbal medicine shop, went to the front shop to work for a while, and after the busiest period had passed, he returned to the room in the backyard, lay down on the easy chair, and looked at the information organized by Mandy.

The information said that Viscount Vede was very fond of a Lemburg snack called crispy croissant in the morning. Audiss thought for a moment, then went to the front counter to get some herbs and concocted a small bottle of strong laxative.

Then he returned to the "N楠 Wood Ballroom" and asked the chef to come early tomorrow morning to make a batch of exquisite crispy croissants.

After that, Audiss found Mandy again and asked her to send someone to track or find out where Viscount Vede was staying tonight, and then the two of them made a detailed plan.

By the time Audiss returned to the herbal medicine shop, it was almost midnight.

In order to prevent any emergencies from happening at the "N楠 Wood Ballroom" at night, Audiss simply stayed at the herbal medicine shop tonight.

Just as he was about to make the bed, his spirituality suddenly sensed something and he looked at the wooden box containing the "fruit of the fleabane tree."
