Chapter 547: Chapter 546: Trancy’s Sudden Visit
Struggling to keep his eyes open, Lu Zixun put on a serious expression of attentiveness.
After mumbling for about a quarter of an hour, Bell finally stopped, "I have done a rough calculation, and you will need at least 1,300 Rebel Coins to make you look like a petty aristocrat."
1,300...
Looking at the 500 Rebel Coins in the talisman storage, which took two hours to produce, Lu Zixun fell into deep thought.
Perhaps he should create a machine that automatically prints money?
However, half a second later, Lu Zixun came back to his senses.
He wasn’t truly trying to infiltrate the noble circles of Ribel City, organize wine parties, and buy estates in the suburbs for appearances.
"We can purchase the estate for the wine party later."
With a light chuckle, Lu Zixun tapped the table, "Let’s first acquire the necessary staff and items for the estate."
He took out the 500 Rebel Coins from the talisman storage and handed them to Bell.
Lu Zixun said indifferently, "This will serve as the working capital for the estate. In the evening, the invitations need to be made properly—social proprieties must be observed."
Bell, who thought Lu Zixun was going to withdraw money from Hodler Bank, saw that Lu Zixun casually took out another 500 Rebel Coins.
Bell became even more respectful, "Alright, I’ll take care of it now."
"Mhm."
With a slight nod, Lu Zixun appeared to be resting with his eyes closed, but in fact, he was pondering how to enter Lantexi’s villa as a human.
After a while, Lu Zixun suddenly thought of someone—Mrs. Malfarian.
From the conversation he overheard earlier, it seemed Malfarian was quite familiar with Trancy.
Perhaps he could start from there, to investigate how Trancy came into contact with It, and it would be even better if he could find out Its name.
However, he couldn’t be too abrupt.
Otherwise, Lu Zixun wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to fabricate an aristocratic identity.
Rising to the balcony of the third-floor bedroom, Lu Zixun could see Trancy’s villa from this angle.
At that moment, Trancy was lying on a rocking chair, basking in the sun, her right hand resting on her stomach, gently caressing something.
"???"
Seeing the maternal glow on Trancy’s face, Lu Zixun’s brain momentarily short-circuited.
Was Trancy actually pregnant?
And she dared to pray to the Evil God?
Lu Zixun involuntarily gasped, suddenly feeling the sensation of being watched by a malicious gaze, a chilling feeling creeping over him.
Forcing a smile that wasn’t quite a cry, Lu Zixun’s gaze remained on Trancy and he whispered, "How wonderful."
Only after speaking did he feel that gaze depart.
With the danger averted, cold sweat slid down Lu Zixun’s forehead. Just being seen as a human was enough to attract Its notice.
Why hadn’t Sithur’s preaching noticed it?
Was it because of the Dark Night Goddess?
Shifting his gaze away from Trancy, Lu Zixun stood on the balcony, letting the wind blow for a while before heading toward the bathroom.
The feeling of being drenched in sweat was by no means pleasant.
In the afternoon, after sorting out the estate affairs, Bell was directing the servants to make the visiting cards when a visitor arrived at the door.
"Bang bang."
"Come in."
Bell walked into the study with a light voice and, standing before the desk with a smile, said, "Mr. Zixun, Lady Sherman Trancy has come to visit."
Trancy was coming over?!
Lu Zixun’s pupils shrank slightly, his face showing a thoughtful expression.
Yet within, he pondered what the objective of Trancy’s visit was. Perhaps she had sensed something?
"Mr. Zixun, as far as I know, Lady Trancy enjoys making friends," Bell added softly, noticing Lu Zixun’s hesitation.
"Mhm, I’ll be right down."
It could be a blessing or a curse, but if a curse, it could not be avoided.
Even if Trancy’s visit was not pure in intent, it was still within acceptable bounds—just suspicion or probing at most.
Otherwise, the visitor would not have been Trancy, but one of Its avatars.
After straightening his clumsy clothes, Lu Zixun took a deep breath and turned toward the drawing room.
At that moment, Lady Trancy, dressed in a white dress and radiating pure innocence, was sipping tea brought by a servant, quiet and sweet.
"Lady Sherman Trancy, hello."
Upon entering the drawing room, Lu Zixun sat across from Trancy, his face bearing a kindly smile.
"Just call me Trancy, Mr. Zixun."
Trancy, hearing this form of address for the first time, laughed lightly and covered her lips, "Mr. Zixun, did you come from the North Continent? This form of address seems to be unique to the North Continent."
"Lady Trancy is indeed perceptive; yes, I have recently returned from the North Continent."
Nodding his head, Lu Zixun gestured for the servants to bring sweet tea, "I came back at this time precisely because I heard that God’s Church is about to be successfully established. With the Goddess’s blessing, I trust that business will be booming."
During the conversation, Lu Zixun watched Trancy earnestly.
As Lu Zixun mentioned the Goddess’s blessing, there was a fleeting look of disgust on Trancy’s face.
"Indeed."
Without endorsing Lu Zixun’s words, Trancy changed the subject, "Mr. Zixun seems to be a prominent businessman. May I know what field you are in? Perhaps my husband could collaborate with you."
"Some weapons trade. If your husband could grant me some support, I would be deeply grateful."
To Trancy, surprisingly adept at conversation, the words came as a surprise.
Again, she laughed secretly, "Mr. Zixun is too polite. I’ll ask my husband when I return, but it may take a week before I can give you an answer. As you know, being a governor, he only comes home on weekends."
What did that sentence imply?
Lu Zixun resisted the urge to frown, inwardly sighing at how exhausting it was to converse with these people.
"I understand, Lady Trancy, your kindness is sure to be praised by the Goddess."
Trying to bring the conversation back, Lu Zixun raised his hand in the shape of a moon and said sincerely, "Praise the Goddess."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zixun felt a wave of twisted intention coming from Trancy’s abdomen.
But it quickly subsided, and Lu Zixun was internally startled.
"You truly are a devout Believer."
Trancy smiled faintly, "Next Wednesday, there will be a wine party hosted by my husband. Would Mr. Zixun happen to be free?"
Abruptly standing up, Lu Zixun performed an exceedingly gentlemanly bow, his face bearing excitement he struggled to contain: "It would be the utmost honor."
