Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery
#77 - Audrey and the Gangster
Backlund's department store is one of the largest in the entire Loen Kingdom. Two floors of this store are not open to the general public, but only to nobles and the wealthy.
After all, no matter how noble the nobles are or how rich the wealthy are, they all have shopping needs.
Audrey Hall arranged to visit the department store with a few good friends on a Sunday afternoon.
When they said their goodbyes, Audrey took her maid Annie and her dog Susie back to the carriage, Susie suddenly became a little uneasy.
This can't be blamed on Susie's slow reaction. There was a faint scent of perfume in the carriage, which had a certain impact on her sense of smell.
She didn't notice it when she first got into the car, but after lying on the carpet, she found a strange smell in the carriage.
Audrey immediately noticed Susie's unease and asked, "Susie, what's wrong?"
"Woof!"
Audrey also noticed that there were several tiny wrinkles on the carpet, which were not there when they got out of the car before.
So Audrey immediately smiled and said, "Annie, I've decided to buy the mirror we just saw. We can go shopping again."
As she was about to get up and get out of the car, the active door panel under their butts quickly opened, and Odis rolled out from inside, and instantly drew his gun, pointing it at the two people and a dog opposite him.
Standing in front of Odis was indeed the blonde, blue-eyed, exceptionally beautiful, pure and elegant "Justice" Miss.
He sighed in his heart: Indeed, she is a little too beautiful.
Annie was startled and was about to scream, but Odis pointed the gun at her: "Don't shout."
Then he glanced at Susie: "You are not allowed to shout either."
Susie glanced at the revolver and nodded obediently, almost raising her dog paws.
"I have no intention of hurting you, I'm just hiding from an opponent," Odis smiled.
Yes, Chebman is someone who can be called an opponent.
At this moment, there was a noise outside, and Chebman was searching carriage by carriage with his men.
Odis slowly slid onto the carpet, continuing to point his gun at the people and dogs opposite him.
Annie was frightened, Susie was also shivering with fear, only Audrey looked normal, and even smiled as she looked at the bandit in front of her.
As a "Mind Reader", she had of course realized that Odis had no malice.
Moreover, she was very interested in Odis's purpose and the opponent he was hiding from.
This noble lady, who was wholeheartedly fantasizing about having her own great adventure, was the first time encountering such an exciting thing.
I don't know who shouted: "This is the Earl's carriage, who dares to search it?"
Chebman and the others really didn't dare to continue searching. To be precise, the organization he belonged to was established by nobles, and their mission was to obey and entertain nobles.
Moreover, in Backlund, even extraordinary people would not dare to easily offend the nobles.
The carriage slowly moved forward and drove out of the department store's parking area. Chebman and the others only dared to observe from a distance.
At this time, Annie seemed to react. She was about to rush out of the carriage, risking being shot by the bandit, to remind the guards outside that there was a bandit in the carriage and Miss Audrey was in danger.
But Audrey took the lead and stopped her: "Don't be impulsive, Annie."
She knew that if Annie really rushed out, things would get very bad.
Odis slowly got up and sat back on the chair opposite them: "This lady is right, you will be knocked unconscious by me before you touch the doorknob."
Annie took a deep breath and said, "Jesse must have been lazy again, and didn't notice that someone had sneaked into the carriage."
"And those department store guards, didn't they notice either?"
Jesse is the coachman of this carriage.
Audrey thought: Because the person in front of you is an extraordinary person, don't expect ordinary people to notice the traces of extraordinary people.
Odis joked: "I can be invisible, they can't see me."
He added: "You don't have to be nervous, I'll leave after walking a few blocks."
Audrey asked curiously, "Why are they trying to catch you?"
"They want me to join their organization," Odis said truthfully, "but I refused them."
Audrey seemed to understand something: "Is it a mysterious organization?"
"Not very mysterious," Odis replied, "If you use your family's channels to inquire at 155 King's Avenue, you can find out about them."
Audrey recalled that she remembered that 155 King's Avenue seemed to be a fighting arena. Her brother Alfred in the Southern Continent had been there to watch the matches.
Then she asked again, "They even used weapons to threaten you?"
Odis looked down at his chest, at the damage caused by Eden's dagger, and smiled at Audrey: "Very good observation skills."
Although this knight's uniform helped him resist the two daggers, some places were still damaged.
Hearing the other party's compliment, Audrey suddenly felt that the bandit's tone, eyes, demeanor were somewhat familiar. In fact, she had had this feeling since just now.
There is no mistake in the first first first first first first!
But she thought about it carefully, but she couldn't remember where she had seen a similar person.
After taking a deep breath, Audrey continued to ask, not wasting this "wonderful experience": "Why do you wear a mask?"
Odis smiled and said, "To protect you."
Audrey immediately understood and nodded slowly.
Annie on the side didn't quite understand: "Protect us?"
"Yes," Odis said, "For example, in this situation, I don't need to kill you to silence you."
Annie opened her mouth in fright and then said, "The person in front of you is Huo..."
"Okay, Annie!" Audrey immediately interrupted her close-fitting maid, she understood that the bandit in front of her would not be intimidated by her father's name, Annie's intimidation would only expose more of her own information.
Odis praised again: "What a calm and rational lady."
He paused and then said: "If I remember correctly, the coat of arms on the car seems to belong to the Hall family."
Odis didn't know any coat of arms, but he knew that Audrey's father was Earl Hall.
Then he smiled and said: "I have long heard that Earl Hall's daughter is very beautiful, and has the reputation of 'Backlund's most dazzling gem'. After seeing her today, I realized that such praise is too conservative."
"Thank you," Audrey smiled, "I won't tell anyone that you were ever in this carriage, but in return, please tell me your name."
"Lelouch." Anyway, it was a newly "created" identity. If any nobles came to make trouble, it would be better not to use this identity again.
"Okay, Mr. Lelouch," Audrey smiled.
Then Odis looked at Annie on the side, and Annie immediately said: "I won't tell anyone either."
"I believe you," Odis smiled, "If any nobles come to make trouble for me, I will sneak into the Earl's mansion and cut off your ears and nose while you are asleep."
He got up and said, "Goodbye! Ladies."
After speaking, Odis put away his gun and jumped out of the carriage.
Audrey hurried to the car window, she saw that Mr. Lelouch quickly entered a church with a "Mechanical Holy Emblem" logo.
Tomorrow is Tarot Society time again, and also starting tomorrow, 2000-word chapters will be changed to 3000-word chapters, and three updates will be changed to two updates, and the extra updates will also be 3000-word chapters.
