Chapter 164: Kapin's Dinner
Setting up the dark red round-bellied pen, Crane picked up the piece of paper on which the divination statement was written, and leaned back in his chair.
His lips twitched, and he whispered "It's time for today's dinner at Kapin," over and over again.
The words rippled over the silent and empty gray mist, and Crane's eyes quickly deepened, and the curtains slowly drooped.
In his shattered dreams, he saw the spacious and elegant dining room, the gold-encrusted ceramic tableware, the caviar, roast chicken, lamb stew, fried bull's eye, fried keel fish, creamy soup and other foods.
The food was placed in front of several diners in a certain order and in a certain demand, including the slightly fat Capin, the middle-aged gentleman Heras in a white hood, Katie in a thin shirt, and Parker with an old face and no intimidating face.
Looking diagonally out from the back of the dining table, you can find an ornately decorated glass window, outside which the clouds are sparse and the red moon looms in the sky.
Crane opened his eyes, marked the position of the moon in the dream, and then quickly calculated the approximate time according to the common sense of astrology.
"What it looked like from 7:30 to 45...... Considering that in several pictures, Carpine is already halfway through the meal, it can be moved forward by another 15 minutes, so that 7:30 is a better choice......" Crane muttered to himself, interpreting the revelation given by "dream divination".
Dinner at 7:30 is not too uncommon, and this is even the mainstream in the Kingdom of Rune, and even in the Northern Continent, because many middle-class people live in the suburbs either due to environmental problems or due to the cheap rent, and have to take a short steam train to and from the city every day to work, and when they return home, it is often after 7 o'clock in the evening, so 7:30 to 8 o'clock is the normal dinner time.
Klein had this experience when he was in Tingen, but it was because there were no servants, no stay-at-home wives, and the three siblings had to be busy for a while to get hot food when they returned home, not because they were far from work.
That is why the common and the poor often have dinner between 7:30 and 8 a.m.
And because lunch and dinner are too far apart, afternoon tea, which belongs to the upper class, is gradually popular among the middle class and the common people.
After reading, Klein reflected on the revelation he had just received, and keenly noticed a problem:
Where are Capin's wife and children?
They don't show up in the restaurant...... Could it be that Kapin is an extreme Storm Lord, and that both women and children have to go to the living room to eat? Or is there some other reason? Or is Kapin not married and has no children? He is middle-aged...... Crane tried divination, but failed to get a valid revelation, so he had to give up.
"7:30. He repeated the moment and returned to the real world.
............
In the evening, Kapin, who was wearing a formal bow tie even at home, squinted his eyes, looked at his subordinates in front of him, and asked in a slow but chilling voice:
"Fabian is dead?"
"Yes, Boss. Even though he had been an accomplice of Kapin for many years, that subordinate was a little afraid and frightened.
"Odeus, sir, sir, in a few years, you have to call sir. Capin tugged at his bow tie and casually disposed of his coarse cigar, "When did Fabian die, and how?"
"This afternoon, I asked him to go to the East End on an errand, and he got into a confrontation with the Zmanga party and was stabbed in the neck......" Mr. Odeus described with trepidation.
Kapin roasted his cigar and said in a tone that did not rise or fall:
"Fabian is such an idiot.
"But the Zmanga people won't know he's a fool of mine?"
"Sir, you know, there are often highlanders who come to the East End to join the Zmanga Party, and they are so savage and reckless that they don't care who is who. Odeus quickly explained.
Kapin snorted:
"Have they forgotten that this is not a plateau? Or rather, have they forgotten that I'm Kapin?
"Odes, I want the corpse of the leader of the Zmange party in that neighborhood, can you do it? If not, I will sink your wife and children, along with you, into the Tasok River. β
"No problem, sir!" said Odes, raising his voice.
Immediately, he asked in a low voice:
"Who can I mobilize?"
Kapin was about to answer when the door was suddenly pushed open, and Heras, a middle-aged gentleman wearing a white hair cover, walked in.
He glanced at Odysses indifferently and shifted his gaze to Kapin:
"I heard that one of your men clashed with gangsters in the East Side and died?"
"Yes, Mr. Heras. Capin took his cigar and stood up.
Heras stared into Kapin's eyes and said:
"You want to get revenge on them?"
A drop of sweat suddenly appeared on Kaping's forehead:
"No, no, Mr. Heras, you misunderstood. β
Heras nodded slightly, "You have to remember that we are in a critical period, and if it is not necessary, try not to cause trouble. β
He paused for a second, observed Kapin's reaction, and said:
"You are not the only human trafficker in Beckland, we can support you and we can support others, you have to remember that.
"I picked you because you were vicious enough and shameless enough to be extremely cautious, not because you were already the biggest human trafficker. β
Odyss, listening to the conversation between the two of them, wished that he was just a cloud of air, so that he would not be able to see the humble appearance of Boss Kapin.
Kapin didn't show the slightest anger on the surface, and said with a smile:
"My main concern, Mr. Heras, is that Fabian's death will not be easy, and that it may disrupt your plans. β
"No, there is nothing wrong with his death. "I didn't get any feedback. β
"Well...... "then," said Kapin, pretending to be relieved, "then I'll be relieved." β
He glanced at Odyss, motioned for the other party to go out, and then lowered his voice and said:
"Mr. Heras, there is a type of cargo you like in this shipment. β
Seeing that Heras's expression was loose but did not say anything, Kaping hurriedly added:
"I've got it there. β
Heras bowed his head slowly:
"Let her come to my room at night. β
"Yes, Mr. Heras!" said Kapin, with a smirk on his face.
After seeing Heras leave, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he took a breath and whispered:
"I hope you will keep your promise this time...... I don't want to be involved in anything like that again!"
He clearly remembered that year's harvest festival, someone approached him, hoping to buy a group of naΓ―ve girls.
From that day on, the trajectory of his life changed dramatically, and he even ate a fifth of the slave trade, which was forbidden by law.
He quickly became one of the more famous tycoons in Beckland, befriending many big people and pulling them into the abyss of depravity.
At this point, he desperately wants to cover up his past sins and want "Kapin" to be baptized again and become a real upper-class person, however, he can't do so for the time being.
Glancing at the cigar in his hand, Capping picked up the picture frame on the table, which contained a picture of him with a beautiful woman and two children.
Rubbing his thumb over the surface of the frame, Capping narrowed his eyes and whispered to himself:
"After this time, you should be able to come back......"
At dinner time, Capping walked out of the study, with a warm smile on his face again.
"Lady Katie, tonight there is your favorite caviar, and a roast chicken specially prepared for you. He said to the lady in the thin shirt.
Katie touched the old scars on her face and didn't say a word, just nodded slightly.
Capping knew that she was silent and fierce, and did not say anything long-winded, and watched her sit in her place.
Immediately afterward, Heras, wearing a white hair cover, entered the dining room and bowed slightly to each diner.
The old-looking Parker took a sip of aperitif, smiling and motioning for Kapin to sit down.
The white napkin was spread out, the food was served in turn, Kapin picked up the wine glass, chuckled, and said:
"The storm is above, let's toast to a better future. β
"Cheers to a better future. Parker responded.
Heras didn't speak, only pinched the high foot of the wine glass and raised it slightly, while Katie completely ignored the others.
At this time, the classical wall clock hanging in the hall had just reached 7:23.
............
Beckland Bridge area, inside a budget hotel.
Disguised, Crane took out his gold-shelled pocket watch, looked at the exact time, and then took out the Holy Night powder and sealed the room with a spiritual wall.
After doing all this, he quickly set up the altar and held the ceremony:
"Me!"
"I call in my name:"
"A fool who does not belong to this era, a mysterious lord above the gray mist, and a king of yellow and black who rules good fortune. β
......
When the ritual was complete, Klein immediately took four steps backwards and entered the gray mist, ready to respond to himself.
In that towering and solemn palace, he saw the "Door of Summoning" condensed by ripples of light, which was an illusory gate filled with mysterious symbols.
Crane was not in a hurry to be summoned, but according to a predetermined plan, he incorporated magical items such as the "Sun Brooch" into his spirit.
Eventually, he picked up the Black Emperor card and let the spirit wrap around it.
Suddenly, Crane only felt that his spirit body was as solid as flesh and blood, and it seemed that he could pick up a pistol and move tables and chairs!
A dark, illusory mist filled around him, and this mist clung to the surface, forming a majestic armor.
He had a pitch-black crown on top of his head and a long cloak of the same color on his back.
At this moment, Klein is like an emperor who is about to embark on a journey.
Black Emperor.
He took one last look at the purification bullets and revolvers he hadn't brought with him, and with one step, he stepped into the crack of the illusory door.
Immediately after jumping out of the candlelight, he flew quickly to Carpin Villa on Iris Street in the Jowood District, under the cover of night.
It wasn't long before he floated in front of the artificial fountain, and approached the door of the villa with little speed or slowness, and the guards patrolling back and forth passed him, but there was no response, and since it was not yet night, there were no extraordinaries guarding the outside.
In addition, Klein is not afraid that the powerful extraordinary people inside will detect it in advance and have a premonition.
Because the "Black Emperor" card is anti-prophecy and anti-divination!
