Chapter 680 Drama Queen Fors!
"This future magician has always had a rather easygoing personality and is quite unconventional in her daily life."
"However, speaking of which, Miss Magician is also a good starting point."
Having figured out the truth, Chu Yang naturally wouldn't mind Miss Xiu's seemingly difficult request.
"Then let's meet at this coffee shop at 10:10 noon."
Chu Yang said it casually.
"No problem, I will definitely bring her here on time, and we will cover all the expenses for lunch."
Miss Hugh spoke hurriedly.
After breakfast, the two parted ways formally.
Walking down the street, Chu Yang suddenly realized that he really should change his rented apartment in time.
Besides the lack of security there, it was also because he needed a more comfortable living environment.
However, besides that, what he needs most is a set of clothes that are of a high enough standard.
"Although Elinda's family shop is not high-end and mainly sells products to the general public, it is still a clothing store that has been open for many years. They should have some clothes that they have stored away."
After a short while, Chu Yang finally decided to visit Elinda and her father first.
If it really comes down to spending a lot of money, he'd much rather the profits go into the pockets of his friends.
Having decided on his destination, Chu Yang quickly quickened his pace.
Just as he caught a glimpse of Elinda's shop from afar, he saw Elinda's father respectfully seeing a well-dressed gentleman off as he walked out the door.
Elinda's father even opened the carriage door that was parked by the roadside himself, with a fawning smile on his face, and personally helped the gentleman into the carriage.
Finally, he stood at the shop entrance, gazing at the carriage in the distance until it completely disappeared around the street corner, before returning to his shop with a sense of loss.
"It seems this gentleman is no ordinary person. Since someone like him comes to buy clothes from Elinda's family shop, there must be some really good stuff here."
"Looks like I'm still too easily swayed."
Chu Yang shook his head with a self-deprecating smile. He had a feeling that he should be able to successfully purchase his clothes from Elena's shop.
As he stepped into the shop, he immediately saw Elinda sitting at the counter, constantly writing and drawing, holding a special measuring tool that looked like a ruler in her hand.
Then, seeing that there were no other customers in the store, Chu Yang walked lightly to the counter and slammed his hand on it.
Elinda was startled at first, and after looking up angrily and seeing Chu Yang's face clearly, she suddenly turned her anger into laughter.
"How dare you come to see me again? Last time, it was all because of you that I had to stay at home for a whole month."
"So, tell me, how many lavish meals are you going to treat me to as compensation?"
Elinda crossed her arms over her chest, making the rather imposing mountain peaks particularly eye-catching.
Chu Yang coughed lightly twice, then quickly looked away and said, "Your father wouldn't go so far as to prevent you from going to school altogether, would he?"
"Because the club I wanted to join was active at school, and that weird, idiotic teacher you mentioned was also a member of the school, it's obvious that my father didn't agree to me going to school at all."
Elinda shrugged helplessly, then asked about the purpose of her visit that day.
"I found a good job, so this time I'm buying a high-end suit."
When Chu Yang emphasized the word "high-class," Elinda's eyes widened immediately.
"Didn't you always say our family's clothing store wasn't high-end enough? Why did you come here to buy something today?"
"Have you finally figured it out?"
Elinda couldn't help but playfully circle around Chu Yang's body, observing him from all sides.
"I was a bit naive before, but now I realize how amazing your family's clothing store, which has been passed down for over a hundred years, is."
Chu Yang couldn't help but offer a few words of praise.
In fact, this misconception was generated by the predecessor and has little to do with him, the successor.
"You're smart to be sensible, but a decent formal outfit costs at least a hundred pounds. You've only just started working; are you sure you want to invest that much?"
Elinda's mind was already racing with various ways to persuade Chu Yang to give up this idea.
"Don't worry, the client I'm working for this time is the famous detective and scholar, Mr. Manhattan."
"He offered me a very generous reward and even gave me an advance so I could buy suitable clothes."
Chu Yang blurted out the response he had already thought of.
"Since he's Mr. Manhattan, he is indeed a big shot, but what exactly made him take a liking to you?"
Alinda's eyes were full of disdain.
"Elinda, don't talk nonsense. As long as Chu Yang can stay by Mr. Manhattan's side for a long time, he will definitely have a bright future."
Then, Erinda's father walked out of the house behind the house with a smile on his face.
"Hello, Mr. Holmes. I also hope that, as you say, I will have a bright future."
Chu Yang smiled and shrugged.
"Don't rush. As long as you keep learning, that's an opportunity to grow stronger."
"I used to work in a clothing store owned by a respectable gentleman, and I started out as his assistant."
"It took me a full ten years to build up my network and knowledge in the relevant industry."
"In the end, I returned here and continued to expand the small clothing store that my father passed down to its current size."
"Keep trying, young man, you can do it!"
Holmes gently patted her shoulder in comfort.
Chu Yang's thoughts, however, kept replaying the gentleman he had just met at the door.
Considering the respect Holmes showed when he spoke, it was clear that the gentleman from earlier was very likely the benefactor who changed his fate.
"Come to think of it, I do think that gentleman from earlier looks a bit like you."
"Do you think it's possible that the gentleman is a relative you haven't seen in a long time?"
Suddenly, Elinda began to carefully observe Chu Yang's appearance.
"There's no such thing as a coincidence. There are too many people in the world, and there will always be people who look alike."
"I don't want to be an annoying guy who comes to someone's door looking for relatives to climb the social ladder."
Chu Yang waved his hand dismissively.
Now he only wants to focus on slowly severing all ties with this body from the past.
It's absolutely impossible for them to proactively offer themselves up to establish a new relationship.
However, this severing of ties needs to be done gradually, rather than abruptly cutting it off.
That's what's most eye-catching.
Then Chu Yang and his daughter, Elinda, began to discuss the matter of high-end clothing.
Although Chu Yang was offered the cost price, he ended up spending a full eighty pounds to finally buy a set of clothes that were high-end enough.
When Chu Yang changed his clothes and came out from behind the house, little girl Erinda's eyes lit up.
She couldn't help but run to Chu Yang's side and sincerely praise him.
"My goodness, this outfit suits you so well! It not only hides your usual melancholy but also adds a touch of scholarly elegance to your look."
"I feel like you're a highly accomplished scholar now."
Even Holmes, standing to the side, couldn't help but nod in agreement, circling around Chu Yang several times before finally saying:
"What a handsome young man!"
Chu Yang noticed that Holmes's gaze was mostly focused on the clothes he was wearing.
Regardless, he was still grateful to Holmes for the cost price offered.
In the end, Chu Yang and Elinda arranged a somewhat vague time for a meal together, and then Chu Yang said goodbye and left.
To save time, Chu Yang even gritted his teeth and took a horse-drawn carriage to his destination.
But as soon as he stepped out of the carriage, he immediately felt a series of undisguised, malevolent gazes directed at him from all around.
"It seems this outfit is still a bit too flashy. I'll put it away after today."
Chu Yang gently stroked his chin, making up his mind.
After all, the area where he and Miss Hugh had arranged to meet at the café was a haven for gangsters.
Ordinary wealthy people would never venture here easily unless they had sufficient security.
The reason the original owner rented this house was simply because he had no other choice, since he was short of money.
With this thought in mind, Chu Yang made his way to the coffee shop while casually revealing the revolver he had tucked into his waistband.
In an instant, the dense atmosphere of malice around them lessened considerably.
When he pushed open the door of the coffee shop and saw Miss Hugh, the huge weight in his heart finally lifted.
After all, readers of Sequence Nine don't have much combat power, but Miss Hugh, as the arbitrator, is a different story.
Not to mention that Miss Hugh herself is a well-trained female knight, extremely skilled in both mounted combat and dismounted fighting, making her someone that ordinary gang members would never dare to mess with.
This is the real reason why she has been able to survive safely to this day while dedicating herself to helping blue-collar workers solve various problems.
Chu Yang sat down next to Miss Xiu, which immediately made her turn her head to look at him, and then a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.
"Chu Yang, why are you dressed so formally? Didn't those gangsters give you trouble on the street?"
Miss Hugh couldn't help but frown as she finished speaking.
She could even imagine how many malicious glances Chu Yang had received along the way.
"I just wanted to be in better shape to see your friend."
Chu Yang specifically emphasized the word "friends," deliberately guiding Miss Xiu to imagine in a specific direction.
As expected, Miss Hugh suddenly realized and said, "This is something I really didn't consider this time. I should have chosen a better place, so that your first meeting could have a perfect ending."
"But it's not a big deal. My friend is very easygoing and won't care about these details."
"After the meal, I'll take you back to Mr. Manhattan."
Hearing this, Chu Yang was quite speechless. It was obvious that Miss Xiu was treating him as a scholar who was completely powerless.
But why didn't he remember that his marksmanship had already improved significantly?
Just as Chu Yang and Miss Xiu were chatting enthusiastically, a woman was already watching the scene unfold with a mocking expression from a corner of the restaurant.
Clearly, she had already overheard their conversation.
When the woman stood smiling beside Miss Hugh, the mockery in her eyes became even more obvious.
Fortunately, Miss Hugh was already used to her best friend's behavior.
"Chu Yang, this is my best friend, confidante, and roommate, Fors."
Miss Hugh stood up and introduced herself quite solemnly.
At this moment, Miss Fors was dressed in gorgeous clothes, yet she still exuded nobility.
Thanks to her unique door-opening ability, she has no fear of being targeted by the gangs in this area.
Despite her noble demeanor and extremely delicate features, which were very eye-catching.
But it is precisely because of this that she possesses a unique magnetic field that makes many men feel intimidated.
"Hello, Miss Fors, it's an honor to meet you."
Chu Yang had long been aware of Miss Fors's true nature as a scoundrel, and had therefore demystified her. As a result, his behavior at this moment was quite measured and appropriate.
"It turns out that Mr. Chu Yang is a true gentleman. No wonder my friend has been so fond of him."
"Since you're Hugh's friend, then we're friends from now on. Don't be so formal, you can just call me Fors."
Miss Fors smiled and extended her right hand.
Chu Yang also extended his right hand and gently shook hands, and then the three of them took their seats.
Chu Yang didn't beat around the bush and immediately got straight to the point:
"Miss Hugh said you wanted to see me. What is the purpose of your visit?"
Hearing this, Fors was suddenly stunned, and she smiled helplessly:
"He truly deserves to be one of the few men that Hugh approves of; he's so decisive and efficient."
She was just being polite, but who would have thought Chu Yang would take it seriously?
"This is actually quite good; it allows us to handle other things more efficiently."
Chu Yang replied with a smile, saying that he did not find anything wrong with Miss Xiu's way of handling things.
So after spending this time together, he had already realized that he was unconsciously imitating Miss Hugh.
"What you say makes sense, but I didn't expect you wouldn't exchange pleasantries before getting down to business."
Fors couldn't help but shake his head.
A beautiful woman like her would attract many men who would try to strike up a conversation with her wherever she went.
She had long been used to this kind of treatment.
Who would have thought that Chu Yang, whom I met for the first time today, would be such an eccentric person.
She thought about it carefully and realized that her current feelings were exactly the same as when she first met Hugh.
This prompted her to utter the same exclamation as Chu Yang and Miss Xiu. (End of Chapter)
