793 Surprise Visitor (2/2)
”Okay!” Derrick nodded strongly. ”I'll do my best to figure out the specifics.”
The exchange continued. As the members didn't encounter much this week, this segment quickly came to an end. The Tarot Club members began teaching The Sun mysticism languages of the outside world as they learned about ancient myths from him.
During this process, Audrey was a little disappointed and depressed. She had failed to buy anything or share anything this week, and her participation appeared lacking.
Sigh… My life has been too quiet and stable. I have nothing to share… However, this is normal. As the daughter of one of the top three bankers in the kingdom, a daughter of East Chester's earl, if I were to frequently encounter Beyonder matters, experiencing alarming and exciting matters every week, that means that the present society and government structure is unable to maintain the order of the Beyonder world. It would definitely result in a fundamental change to everything… Hmm, when I return to Backlund, my contact with the Psychology Alchemists will increase. I'll be able to change this situation… Audrey rapidly became optimistic, and she stood up and bade Mr. Fool farewell.
Over the past half a year, she had read quite a number of useful books thanks to Susie. In terms of profundity and maturity, she was a lot better than before.

Böklund Street North Borough, 160 Böklund Street.
After ending the Tarot Club, Klein walked to the attached balcony to his bedroom, and he looked at the surrounding environment which was filled with vegetation.
With Miss Magician's attempt to rent out Leymano's Travels, there will be more of such Tarot Club transactions in the future. Heh heh, they might not have realized that their own Beyonder powers can be sold! Once the rentals happen more frequently, someone will ultimately request someone to help record a particular power… When the time comes, I'll be able to supply Beyonder powers of various domains thanks to the numerous mystical items I have…
It won't be too expensive, but it's long-lasting, and it will often be in demand.
Heh, I wonder who will be the first to muster their courage to seek The Fool for help, hoping that a demigod power can be recorded… This needs to be a fair exchange, and a sufficient price needs to be paid… If no one dares take that step, afraid that it's blasphemous, I can let The World be an example. After all, Mr. Fool has shown his friendliness and casualness from the beginning. As long as no mistakes are made, similar transactions can be made…
Having the precedent of punishing Ma'am Hermit, I don't believe anyone will belittle The Fool as a result. They would be honored, delighted, and fearful… Klein thought about the Tarot Club as his thoughts wandered, filled with anticipation towards the trade of Beyonder powers in the future.
At this moment, he heard knocking at the door.
”Please enter,” Dwayne Dantès with his gray sideburns turned around and said.
The doorknob turned and the door opened. Butler Walter in his white gloves walked in and said respectfully, ”Sir, Ma'am Mary from the National Atmospheric Pollution Council is here to visit you.
”Do you wish to meet her?”
Mary Schott? The major shareholder of the Coim Company, the lady who got me to investigate her former husband's adultery? Why is she here? Don't tell me that Dwayne Dantès has caught her fancy… Klein was slightly puzzled as he nodded with a smile.
”It's almost tea time. Let's have it a little earlier.”
”Alright, I will invite Ma'am Mary to the activity room on the second story.” Walter easily understood his employer's intentions.
Klein nodded slightly without saying anything else. With the help of his valet, Richardson, he wore his coat and went down to the second story.
Soon, he saw Ma'am Mary with her tall cheekbones in the activity room.
This lady was dressed in a dark blue dress with elegant accessories in an ostentatious but restrained manner. Compared to last year, she appeared more classy and with a higher temperament.
”Good afternoon, Ma'am. I've always been considering finding a time to visit you. I would wish to hear about your investigations on Backlund's atmospheric pollution.” Klein took the initiative to speak politely.
Mary replied with a smile, ”Unfortunately, I didn't manage to wait for it.”
After exchanging a few words of pleasantries as they talked about the recent weather, Klein sat on a single-seater as he raised his porcelain teacup.
”Ma'am, you seem to have something troubling you?”
He could tell that Mary was hesitant and deliberating.
Mary laughed as she sighed.
”I've heard about your experience and wisdom. I believe that you're a gentleman with excellent foresight.
”This is the thing: Are you interested in purchasing some of the Coim Company's shares?”
”Why? Ma'am, are you in trouble?” Klein asked in a staid manner
Mary shook her head.
”Someone else is selling them.”
