Fen's expression was like she had eaten a lemon.
The others were greatly shocked, the logic was simple but not simplistic, Liszt really had some damn special abilities.
Rein was even more shocked, the mad woman probably also had some damn special abilities, and obviously, the mad woman thought so too, which is why she came up with such an idea, although she liked him immensely, she didn't give Liszt much of a smile.
It seemed simple, not even considered a date, just meeting, perhaps to discuss other matters, but in reality, it was a confrontation between experts.
Dammit, kill them, they really are a match made in heaven, damn.
"That's what they say, but I think you still need to prepare, at least change your clothes, and get up early tomorrow, it's about the financial turnover."
Fen looked at the shirt Liszt was wearing, it wasn't even fit for a rag anymore, sending it to the Western Continent might cause a major epidemic.
The waves crashed against the reefs, silver scales of light flickering among the folds of the sea.
The VIP room on the sixteenth floor of Star Sea No.1 Music Hall.
The hands of the metal clock moved crisply with each passing second, as time went by, Dreya stood by the window, looking at the undulating waves, her heart growing more anxious.
Blue snowflakes climbed around the lattice beams of the room's partition, intertwining the steel ribs into a blossoming crystal cage, the edges of violet leaves sliced the sunlight's shadow on the ground, resembling an illusion realm in the midsummer brilliance.
After hesitating for a long time, she thought it was still better to set up a bit, although she chose a cool color scheme, it seemed a bit overdone, with too many flowers, it appeared a little ostentatious, the spacious room aside from the stage for the piano and a passage, was left with flowers, more like a glass flower house.
Dreya was anxious to the point of wanting to end it all quickly, trapped in the anticipation and foreboding disappointment was torturous.
She didn't even know what she was doing, completely like a madwoman, but she had mentally prepared herself for failure.
Maybe it's just because she stayed indoors for too long without socializing, making her already sensitive nerves restless, if he doesn't come, although she doesn't need money, she might still have to find a job or something, it's already the end of the 27th century, nearly the 28th century, she can't live like it's the 25th century anymore.
She heard a knock on the door.
Dreya's heart immediately tensed, she adjusted her appearance in the high-reflective paint of the piano, hopefully not too extravagant, just some foundation, some concealer, a bit of lipstick, a touch of eyeshadow, drew her eyebrows, fixed her features with contour powder and highlighter, did her hair...
Is this dress too outdated, but it was custom made for past court banquets, it does look good, black is versatile, it's her best, but is it a bit inappropriate, formal dresses are for one-time wear only, would he think she's brushing him off, hope he doesn't see through it.
Are the heels too high, better to take off these tacky earrings.
Because there was no response for a long time.
The waiter pushed the door in awkwardly, not knowing who the woman was waiting for, but that person must have saved the world in a previous life.
"It's almost time for a meal, may I..."
Before the waiter finished speaking.
"Nothing, thank you, no staff should come in."
"Alright, I guarantee no staff will disturb you."
The waiter quietly withdrew.
Dreya, somewhat anxious, pulled off her matched evening gloves, wearing this in such hot weather would make him think she's pretentious.
Took another look at the standing clock, god, it's only ten past eleven, has he come or not, or is he on the way, or does he just not intend to come, driving her crazy!
And at this very moment.
At a mid-range inn on the outskirts of the Inner City, on the first floor.
They began a grand send-off ceremony.
Rein knew it was destined to succeed, Liszt was a bit mentally unstable but not a fool, with the woman's extent, as long as Liszt didn't do something too outrageous, it couldn't possibly fail, not to mention that he had special abilities, surpassing not just ninety-nine, but over a hundred percent of people.
"Damn it, you're so damn handsome, how can she resist you?"
Liszt adjusted the collar of his white shirt in the glass of the liquor cabinet, he had just bought it this morning, cost three silver coins, shipped from the Western Continent, a branded product, the fabric was excellent.
Fen was speechless, but it's okay, the weather is hot, dressing too formally makes you look foolish, casual is fine.
"Check what time it is."
Liszt stood firm, though in his heart he was unsure, according to the agreement with the old shipwright, he had to bring the money for payment tomorrow, the ship was indeed a masterpiece, the scoundrels on the island all lived by the ship, many wanted to buy it.
Meaning by tomorrow night, he had to get 160 Golden Dragons from the woman, a bit tricky, though she's rich, the amount is still significant, hopefully, she doesn't chop him up. Follow current novᴇls on novelFirｅ.net
"Half past eleven, if you leave now, you'd arrive around twelve twenty, it's better to go early, otherwise if it's really past one, it'd be troublesome."
Rein was guaranteeing Dreya's assurance no one's there, a no-show would mean he'd have to go see her head.
Mika was jealous, but he had to lean on the rich, if Liszt didn't lean, who'd fund Mika's club membership?
"Wait a bit longer, what's the point of going so early."
Liszt ordered a drink, downed it, shook his head, Rein boasted a lot, but if the woman was merely excited about Golden Dragons, and just wanted to talk business, look for an agent to help distribute her music or something, that'd be a huge misunderstanding, making him appear so foolish, becoming the laughingstock, and he might never lift his head again in Heaven Port.
