Dark Contractor

. After paying the bill, she cast an interested look at each of the daily necessities.

"I am honored by your compliment. The carriage cannot enter this alley. I wonder if it has caused you any trouble?"

"No. I asked the carriage to wait for me outside. But I didn't expect it to be in this alley."

Even Marquis Anderson, a perennial customer, repeatedly asked him to move to a better location, but Yuesheng did not intend to move the store to a lively place.

The street has just the right amount of people coming and going, and just the right indifference to others, making it comfortable to live in.

Even if Yuesheng's store disappears tomorrow, the rumors will spread for at most a week.Even if they are puzzled, no one will delve into it.And it should be forgotten right away.

No, that's the way it is.It is not a pleasant thing for Yue Sheng that his own existence is deeply imprinted in the hearts of others.Anyway, everything goes with the wind.Gone like sand.

After the woman paid the money, she only left her name in the customer list that Yuesheng handed over, and left the store with brisk steps.

"Shop Manager, please use tea." Jeremy brought a plain-fired tea bowl filled with Chinese tea, so Yuesheng took it with both hands.This capable clerk had to make a lot of fuss about making Chinese tea at first, but after Yuesheng's careful teaching, he is now able to make delicious tea.

Since Yuesheng's appearance is a bit difficult to approach, Jeremy's personality of being a bad guy helps him a lot.However, every time he showed his undefended sincerity, in the eyes of Yue Sheng who always had to draw a line with them, it was inevitable that he would have complicated thoughts, which was also true.

"Thank you. It smells so good, it must be brewed very well." Only to confirm the aroma of the tea, Yue Sheng did not bring it to his mouth.

No matter how good Jeremy is, Yuesheng still doesn't intend to let him see his true face.

"Hey hey, it's the store manager who taught me well." Seeing Jeremy smiling all over his face, Yue Sheng felt a little warm in his heart.

"The one just now might become a regular customer."

"Yes, thank you very much for the Marquis who introduced us."

"This shows that the Marquis trusts us very much. Should we make more publicity? Shall we ask Marquis Anderson to help us write an introductory article and publish it in the "Lady's Queen"?"

"Even if we don't do this, the store will survive."

After Yue Sheng offered advice, Jeremy deliberately "cut" and smacked his lips. "It's because you don't want to make money. You're always scolded by those people. You've been selling this box for several years, so it's not impressive at all."

"It's best to live a low-key life like this. It's better than losing everything and not even being able to hire you." Yue Sheng said leisurely, stopping the conversation.

Jeremy originally planned to say something, maybe he knew that Yuesheng didn't like talking to people, so he didn't pursue it further.He must think that Yuesheng is talking more than usual today.

Yue Sheng even had an illusion that this period of being with quiet and stable life might last forever.

Yue Sheng's wish is to fulfill his parents' wish for him to live a carefree life, which is no different from Yue Sheng's own wish.Although they had eagerly expected him to leave the country, it was impossible.

...Maybe one day, that day will come.However, you cannot wait.Please don't wait, get out of here.The last words of his adoptive mother still remain in his heart.

The so-called day will be the day when someone comes to see me, right?If not, he did not understand why his parents were so evasive.Although he understands that he should follow her warning, Yue Sheng also wants to know who he is?Where should I go?

Although no one told him, the only thing that can be called a clue is an old bracelet on Yue Sheng's body.A bracelet made of black tourmaline, a carbonized stone with black luster, carved with lions and dragons.But this badge is too common to be a clue for Yue Sheng to explore her own origin.

The sound of the violin resounding in the hall is full of deep sadness, intertwined with melancholy.

The old violinist, who has successfully toured in various European countries, murmured that it was almost time to retire, but his performance was more mature.It is a sad melody that shakes people's hearts.The audience that filled the concert hall was engrossed in the performance, including Alexis in formal attire.

The timbre played by the violinist friend reflected a strong gypsy color, and even Alexis was deeply moved.As long as we live in this world, everyone will have the emotion of "nostalgia".Critics have said - his music is full of mourning for lost things.

Alexis was alone tonight, because he wasn't planning to bring Lucius, and Lucius had made it clear that he didn't like concerts.In addition, he is also a demon with rich sensibility, if he listens to such a sad song, he will definitely cry in full view.

After the encore, the violinist moved behind the stage.

"Brilliant! What a shame to retire with such great skills."

"That's right. It would be fine if his retirement was a rumor. His retirement is a great loss to the music industry in our country."

"But Richards is also very old, right? It's almost time to give the underachievers a chance to perform."

"You are talking about backwardness, who is as outstanding as him!" The noble young man sitting next to Alexis praised the violinist and excitedly talked about today's performance.

Soon people were getting ready to go home, and Alexis got up and walked down the hall.In the hall, many people gather and chat, and the nobles gather here every night, which can be said to be an extension of the social world.The conversation among the women in gorgeous dresses also reached Alexis' ears.

"Hey, who is that black-haired gentleman?"

"It seems to be from the Dowding family. I don't know...I saw him in a certain salon before."

"You're so handsome. Black hair and dark eyes give you a mysterious impression."

Avoiding the amazed eyes of the women, Alexis walked backstage.Forget about the hair, his pupils are more like dark brown than black, but it shouldn't make much difference to them.For Alexis, who was born in a monastery and kept to poverty, it was very uncomfortable to wear a high-end tuxedo, but for the sake of her friends, she had to wear appropriate clothing.

Inheriting the blood of the Baron Dowding family, which is well-known as a prominent family in northern England, Alexis has almost cut off contact with the family.To be correct, when Alexis was determined to step into the Shinto, his father expelled him from the house as if he severed the father-son relationship with him.

Alexis hadn't even heard of the reason he had given himself a foreign name that didn't fit the family at all.A long line of aliases that had nothing to do with the saint, and because they were omitted at work so few remembered them, everyone now called him Alexis Dowding.

Despite this, he still attends social gatherings as needed, and some viewers still see Alexis' face.However, no one here has the courage to approach Alexis.

It's best not to have anything to do with the exorcist who was excommunicated, maybe these upper-class guys really say it.Moreover, they were also afraid of the influence of the wealthy Baron Dowding's family, and everyone avoided Alexis, who was obviously full of mysteries.

"Excuse me, I want to meet Mr. Richards." Alexis said to the uniformed staff standing in the backstage corridor.

The man asked politely: "What is your name?"

If he was wearing a priest's clothes now, the other party would probably think him more suspicious. Now Alexis was wearing a formal dress and gently stroking her hair. No matter how she looked, she looked like an elegant young gentleman.

"My name is Alexis Dowding. Please read this." Alexis took out a letter from a friend from the inner pocket and instructed with an elegant gesture.

"It turned out to be a friend of Mr. Richards, I'm sorry, please follow me."

From behind the staff who answered kindly, a familiar silver-haired man walked past him.Alexis did have an impression of the profile of this gentleman who came out of the backstage.

No, it was impossible for him to forget.The other party was walking towards the entrance of the hall with leisurely steps that night.In the polished planks of the hallway, he walked without creaking at all.At that moment, Alexis wondered whether he should catch up with him, and later he felt that his agreement should be the priority.

In addition, if he insisted on fighting now, the familiar Lucius would not be by his side, which would be very bad for him.

Who is he?Later visits indicated that he must have been someone Richards knew.In order to find out the purpose of that man, he is now asking Lucius' demon companion to help him find out the news.Although he knew very well that he should wait for the result now, it felt a little uncomfortable to be caught by the other party first.

"Please come in."

Alexis came by after she had just finished a concert and was wearing a unique hot air passage.

After knocking on the door, the old man asked in a hoarse voice with a unique depth: "Who is it?"

"It's me. Alexis Dowding."

"Alec! Come in."

After Alexis entered the room, the little old man who was smoking a cigar wrinkled his face and smiled kindly. "Long time no see, Alec. How long has it been? How are you? Still working as an exorcist?"

Richards asked him one after another in English with a nostalgic accent.

"
