Uncrowned king

When Miao Yu heard what Xiao Bai said, he immediately laughed: "Don't underestimate this viscount. Although his title is hereditary, his two uncles also have the right to inherit it. Unfortunately, neither of them his opponent."

Abbot Lewis had absolutely no talent for making money, and since he became a viscount his debts have increased instead of diminished.But he is not material for making money. Miao Yu paid a little attention to some intrigues before the lord's succession, and found that this man was very outstanding. He made his two uncles bloody in his early 20s.

There are so many capable people in this world, Xiao Bai didn't care about Lewis's ability at all: "Just because he has outstanding skills, you accepted his task? What kind of logic is that?"

"This task is very interesting. On the surface, it looks like a simple search for gems, but at the dinner table just now, judging from what he said, the focus is not on gems, but on the value of gems." Miao Yu said with a smile.

Xiao Bai raised his neck and thought for a long time, deeply feeling that his IQ is not enough recently.He simply stopped asking, squinted at Miao Yu and remained silent.

It's rare for him to be stupid. If the two of them were sitting face to face, Miao Yu wished he could take two bites of him in his arms, so he simply stopped teasing him and said directly: "There are no bullshit gems. I guess he wants to Use this matter to speculate and sell the house for a good price."

Lewis' logic is also very simple. Since the only castle left by his father is more valuable, he doesn't have to worry about making money to support his family. He only needs to use fraud, trickery, and deception to make the castle more valuable. .

For a moment, Xiao Bai imagined that Miao Yu went to a foreign country to look for the gem lost by Lewis's dead ghost father. He searched for clues all the way back to England, and found that the priceless gem was most likely in this old castle. When the rumors spread, Lewis could resell the castle for a good price.

It makes sense logically, but it's too far-fetched. People who have money to buy castles are not fools.Xiao Bai hesitated, "Is it difficult to operate?"

Of course, Miao Yu didn't deduce so much simply based on the recruitment brochure published by Lewis on the website. If he could really think of so much, it would not be called sharp eyes, but paranoia.

Miao Yu would accept this commission, which seemed to be unremarkable. It was Mr. who knew from somewhere that he wanted to build his own team and recommended Lewis to him.

With the idea of ​​taking a look and not losing money, Miao Yu came here with Mai Yongzhi. After some testing, he confirmed that this Lewis knew very little about the gray world, at most he knew that it was on the gray platform. Just post the commission.

At the same time, he also saw that Lewis's so-called gems were fabricated and used to deceive fools.

However, the husband more or less revealed the meaning of "you are going to be the boss in the future, you can't do everything yourself, it's better to have a younger brother as an agent".Lewis holds a dignified British title-no matter how unpopular this title is now, it is a real status symbol after all, and enjoys a certain degree of diplomatic amnesty throughout the European Union. Knowing how to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, if you really want to hire him as an agent, it will save you a lot of trouble.

Miao Yu omitted the part about Mr.'s point, and said that he wanted to accept Lewis as his subordinate. After hearing this, Xiao Bai laughed and said: "That's true. Some nobles have declined, but they managed the industry well. There are also quite a few nobles in Shuiqi. Dealing with them is really troublesome. They have their own set of etiquette and rules. If you really want to go upstream, you have to find a guide. As a shallow upstart, Lewis's identity is enough to bluff people."

He didn't think nobles were superior to others. Xiao Bai always admired capable people, but he had to admit that it was not easy to open up the nobles' market.On Pluto, he doesn't have to worry about dealing with people. Firstly, Pluto has a great reputation, and secondly, Pluto doesn't need to work hard to gain the favorability of rich people.

However, if Miao Yu really took Lewis under his command, the chances of the two of them meeting would suddenly increase. When Xiao Bai thought of Lewis' goblin face, he felt heartbroken, and hurriedly said, "But it doesn't matter if he wants to work under you." Definitely, you have to finish this order before you think about anything else, right?"

This is the first international commission that Miao Yu has taken over. If you don't want a hit, at least you can't miss it.He knew this well, answered a few times, and then changed the subject with Xiao Bai.

After the call was over, Miao Yu couldn't help but reached out and touched his chin. Since Xiao Bai had thoroughly checked the situation of the fake love rival, he should tell him if he found something abnormal.Since Xiao Bai didn't say anything, it means that Lewis's details are clean both bright and dark.

This person is quite capable, but he is not capable enough to attract Mr.'s attention. Especially when he saw the real Lewis, he did not have any traces of special training. Miao Yu really couldn't understand why Mr. would specifically pick this person up. Come out and mention him.

He fell asleep with his mind full of thoughts, got up early the next morning, went out and followed the signs all the way to the banquet hall. There were dinner plates for three people on the long table, but they were all empty.

Lewis was baking bread, and when he saw Miao Yu, he smiled and said, "Good morning, Mr. Miao."

He seemed to be in good spirits, but Miao Yu could see that he didn't sleep well last night, and he was still in a slightly excited state at this time, especially when he saw himself, he became even more excited.

Lewis looked like someone who usually wouldn't get up so early, so he probably got up early to wait for him.It seems that Xirou is coming soon, Miao Yu smiled at him, and after getting permission, he also went to the dining table to prepare breakfast.

Holding a small half bowl of borscht, Lewis suddenly stared seriously at Miao Yu who was cracking eggs: "When are we going to Liverpool to look for that shining gem?"

"The 10:30 flight has been booked." Miao Yu doesn't like fried eggs very much, but there are too few unprocessed foods on the dining table, so there are not many options in total.

Lewis froze for a moment: "Is there my ticket too?"

"According to your request, didn't you add new clauses to the contract, will you participate in the whole investigation of the case?" Miao Yu replied calmly.

It's not that he doesn't understand what Lewis wants to ask is how to buy him a ticket without an ID number, especially since he is an aristocrat, and he needs a few more procedures, but it's unnecessary to explain too much about this kind of thing, it's an understatement The highest level of pretense.

Lewis' reaction also made Miao Yu more certain that he has no connection with the gray world. This is just a small trick worth mentioning in the gray world, and it is not worth such a big reaction at all.

However, Miao Yu also underestimated Lewis. While he was making psychological evaluations for others, Lewis's mind was also spinning non-stop.

He hesitated for a long time, lost the excitement just now, and said in a low voice: "Did you...see something?"

Lewis is not good at making money, but he is very good at judging people. He felt that something was wrong when he dealt with Miao Yu yesterday. With the help of the contacts left by the dead ghost father, he asked capable acquaintances and found out that Miao Yu still has a lot of money. Somewhat capable, not to mention how famous he is in the world, but he can be regarded as a leader of his generation.

He didn't think much about it at that time, and he was still thinking that it would be a good thing for him to have Miao Yu's name, and he could arrange the scam more seamlessly, but seeing Miao Yu arrange everything early in the morning, his feverish mind just clam down.

Miao Yu thought for a while, but didn't hide that he saw through his little thoughts, and replied: "You are worrying too much, you are the one who signed the contract with me, and you are the one who hired me."

——So no matter what you have, I don't care whether you meet the moral standards recognized by the public. After finishing this list according to the contract, my task is over.

Just as the defendant's lawyer will not give up defense because the defendant has committed a heinous crime, the police will not give up arresting the murderer because the murderer is forgivable. This is the most basic professional ethics.

It doesn't matter to Miao Yu what Lewis wants to do with this non-existent gem. He is only responsible for going to Liverpool to investigate.As long as Lewis doesn't use too clumsy tricks to coax children, Miao Yu doesn't mind being led by the nose along the obvious clues.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to see how Lewis set up the trick. If it was really a child's play, let alone hinting at it by insinuation, even if it was clearly stated that Lewis was his own son, Miao Yu didn't intend to have it.

Lewis obviously understood what he said, hesitated for a long time, sighed helplessly, and knocked the bread and soup bowls on the table: "I also know that my thoughts are a little naive, but my great-grandfather did have a Gemstones are not really expensive, but they were brought out of the ancient Egyptian pyramids hundreds of years ago."

He paused, and then said: "At that time, the Lewis family had not yet declined, and my grandfather was not interested in collecting gemstones, so he bought a piece of scrap at random, but it was a pity that it was lost long ago."

"Since it is leftovers, even if gemstone collections are popular all over the world now, there is a lot of room for appreciation. It will be worth more than a hundred years ago, and it is not worth letting people buy this castle first at a high price." Miao Yu said while thinking. With his hand in his pocket, he pressed his mobile phone and sent a text message to Xiao Bai, asking him to check if this happened.

Lewis didn't notice his small movements, and said furtively, "Whether it's worth it or not is not determined by the gemstone, but by the buyer. Do you know Bill Larson?"

Miao Yu didn't have the slightest impression of the name, and he didn't hide his clumsiness. He took out his mobile phone and googled it: "Pala International CEO?"

Although Miao Yu didn't know anything about it, the company's name was still very famous, and it was said to be a leading company in the gem mining industry.

"This Larson has a little hobby that not many people know about. I didn't inquire about it, but my father told me before he left." Lewis whispered, "But everything he collects must be I have collected a whole set, and the gemstone in my house is the leftovers of a famous set of gemstones in ancient Egypt, and the main material of that set of gemstones was in the hands of Larson more than 20 years ago."

Miao Yu smiled and said, "Oh? Then why doesn't your father start planning?"

"My father has been preparing for several years, and even Liverpool has arranged it. Unfortunately, there are three main ingredients, and Larson only has two. He only received the third two months ago, so he began to buy scraps. , but my father... half a year ago..." Lewis sighed.

He suddenly talked so much with Miao Yu, and of course he wasn't overwhelmed by Miao Yu's charisma. Lewis stopped talking and looked up at Miao Yu.

Miao Yu looked at him with a half-smile, and Lewis had no choice but to say it straight: "There is also a saying in China that tea is served cold. Favors are not used, and my father is gone. He can trust his friends in Liverpool." Dude, I can't believe it."

Old Lewis had already laid out the hidden line, but now that he was gone, little Lewis didn't dare to make a move.Although he didn't say it clearly, Miao Yu reckoned that this was not just speculation, it was very likely that he was really aware of the rumors.

Miao Yu's tone of voice showed a little bit, and Lewis could see it, and suddenly told him the truth without knowing what to think. This vision is really not covered.
