Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 236 Wine Estate

Lewis signed a contract with Walsh to get him his job as a housekeeper again.

"Now, I need to buy a decent house on the West Side or in Queens. You are responsible for selecting a suitable property and then let me know.

In addition, I need a group of servants and maids. You can try to hire some. I hope they all have good professional qualities. "

After briefly mentioning his request, Lewis Harvey left Walsh's house and asked him to report the work progress to him the next day or the day after tomorrow.

If you want to hold a decent party, a decent mansion is essential, and in addition, you also need decent servants.

Butler Walsh began to get busy, taking care of the property and servants.

Lewis glanced at his pocket watch. It was just one o'clock in the afternoon. Today was Sunday, and he wanted to visit another friend.

"Speaking of which, Arthur Wade still owes me a wine estate. I hope he won't default on the debt."

Yesterday, after they separated on the island, Arthur Vader was protected by the Loen army, and he went directly to Backlund.

Logically speaking, Arthur Wade's speed would be half a beat slower than his, but not much slower.

"A big businessman should travel with appropriate pomp and ceremony, otherwise he will be laughed at by nobles and peers. I just arrived in Backlund, and I can't afford such a grand ceremony yet, but a luxurious carriage is necessary."

Lewis temporarily rented a carriage inlaid with gold thread and headed to White Swan Street in Queens with the coachman.

Lewis went straight through the path next to the casino and arrived at Arthur Wade's residential area. To be honest, the place where Arthur Wade lived was a bit remote and not in a particularly good location in Queens.

The house had a black fence gate, and behind the gate there was a butler guarding the gate. Lewis leaned his head out of the carriage window and said to the butler:

"Tell Mr. Arthur Wade that his old friend Lewis Harvey is here to visit him."

Of course, although he claimed to be an old friend, in fact he was more like a debt collector. If Arthur Wade wanted to default on his debt, he would most likely ignore him.

However, Lewis guessed that a nobleman of not very high status would probably not have the courage to default on the debt owed to the "father of alternating current". It was not cost-effective to do so for a manor worth only tens of thousands of pounds.

The butler entered the house, and less than two minutes later, he came out, opened the door, and welcomed the carriage and Lewis in.

The flowers in the garden in front of the door had begun to bloom. Lewis walked along the path between the gardens into the mansion and met Mr. Arthur in the living room.

"Welcome, my old friend. I didn't expect you to visit me so soon." Arthur Wade stood up to greet him and the two shook hands.

"For businessmen, friends always come first." Lewis smiled faintly, sat down in front of the coffee table, and threw his top hat on the coat rack.

The waiter brought the freshly brewed coffee, and Arthur Wade explained:
"These are the coffee beans I brought from the Southern Continent. I believe you will like the taste."

Lewis took a sip. The coffee was indeed good, but he had had better, so he was not that surprised.

“This is the best coffee I have ever tasted. It has such a rich flavor.”

"As long as you like it, I'll ask the butler to send you some. By the way, I don't know your address yet." Arthur Wade put down the coffee cup and said in a good mood.

Lewis and Arthur Wade exchanged pleasantries for a while. From beginning to end, Arthur Wade did not mention the winery, which made Lewis suspect that the other party wanted to default on his debt.

Suddenly, a lady dressed as Intis happened to pass by the living room. Lewis glanced at the mistress and asked, "Mr. Arthur, where is your other mistress?"

He was referring to the woman who was instigated by Tifana and then assassinated Arthur Wade.

Arthur Wade shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying:

"Liz is locked up in the house behind me. I plan to buy a house for them both in Queens to stay in temporarily. You know, I can't betray my wife."

So you are married. I wonder how crazy your wife will be after she knows what you did in Intis...

Lewis smiled faintly and said:
"I will keep your secret, Mr. Arthur."

There is no doubt that these two Intis lovers are Arthur Wade's handle. If a Loen diplomat were to be found to have such a promiscuous private life, his political career would most likely be affected.

Lewis intentionally or unintentionally turned the topic towards the winery. The purpose of his visit this time was for this matter.

With the evidence against Arthur Wade, Lewis was convinced that the other party would not default on his debt again, so he reminded him:
"I want to hold a banquet to showcase the charm of alternating current. I need to invite some famous people. Do you have any suggestions?"

Arthur Wade inadvertently revealed an expectant look, but then hid it and said in a mature tone:

“Mr. Lewis, do you remember the wine estate I owe you?

It was located on the outskirts of Backlund, and had a batch of freshly brewed wine.

This manor will be the best gathering place, and the freshly brewed wine will add interest to the dinner. I believe no one will refuse such a banquet. "

When it came to the issue of interests, Arthur Wade spoke even more clearly, and even took the initiative to return the manor that had been promised in advance to Lewis.

Lewis nodded. Promoting alternating current is a time-consuming and laborious task. If there is a local person willing to help, it would be great, even if he gives up some of the profits.

What's more, he had the leverage over Arthur Wade, so he didn't have to worry about being stabbed in the back before his career even got off the ground.

"That's a really good idea." Lewis agreed. He discussed the details with Arthur Wade, and Arthur Wade invested 10 pounds, accounting for % of the shares.

There is no doubt that Arthur Wade got a great bargain, as the profits from alternating current are huge.

Lewis waited until mid-afternoon, drank two cups of coffee in a row and left, taking Arthur Wade's butler with him.

He needed a bridge of communication between him and Arthur Wade, and this butler played a similar role.

Of course, this butler must have a mission. He can also monitor Lewis's actions to prevent him from running away with the money.

"Tonight I will pray to Mr. Fool and ask for Miss Justice's help. I believe that the enthusiastic Miss Justice will definitely want to make a small deal with Mr. Fate's followers.

Of course, this is also for the development of the Tarot Club.”

Lewis smiled faintly and gave Miss Justice a yellow crystal pendant as a reward. The pendant had the ability to tell fortunes. This item overlapped with his abilities, so it was worth giving it away.
