Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 929 Deyuelou restarts again

Time: Two days later, on October 10rd.

However, the location has to be changed from the western Liaoning region to the southern magical capital thousands of miles away.

When John Alexander slammed the thick stack of reports on his desk as if he was venting his anger, a string of curse words such as 'idiot' and 'trash' burst out from his mouth.

That angry look seemed a bit incongruous with his current gentlemanly attire in a straight tuxedo carefully made by an Italian tailor.

But if you think about it seriously, it seems that you can't blame him for having such a big reaction.

You must know that Mr. John Alexander is the head of the SIE Committee of the Industrial Bureau of the Shanghai Public Settlement in Shanghai. He is in charge of several patrol houses and detective teams.

In the Magic City, especially to the Jianghu people of Daqing, he is like a top big shot.

If it were in the past, such a big shot would only have to drink afternoon tea, play cards, and have some fun with other gentlemen.

All the work below will naturally be done by the people below.

Not only does he have a generous salary, but he also has a black income that is much higher than the salary. It was a pleasure in his childhood.

It was only six days ago that the legendary Xuan Ge Camp appeared in the Magic City again after 19 years.

Kill Mr. Elias David Sassoon, who is considered the top figure in the entire concession, and all the security personnel in the manor.

And a large amount of property was stolen, after such an incident occurred.

All his good days had come to an end, and there began to be a surprising amount of pressure on his shoulders, making him feel like he could hardly breathe.

Because of its astonishing wealth, it controls a considerable share of the trade with Daqing.

In front of the Sassoon family, which has close relationships with many local nobles, parliamentarians, and cabinet members.

He, John Alexander, and even all the responsible directors of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau can only be regarded as insignificant little people.

It was completely predictable that such a major event that would shake the world would happen.

By the time the Sassoon family got the bad news and the next important family member they sent arrived in the magic city, if he still couldn't hand over a satisfactory answer.

Then the best result for you is to work somewhere where there is no shit.

Rather than a magical city, this kind of prosperous place where the smell of wealth is flowing in the air.

So after the incident, Mr. John used an unprecedented serious work attitude and began to direct a group of subordinates to investigate, almost turning the concession over.

In addition, a huge reward was secretly issued to Daqing's many Jianghu forces, in order to find some clues about Xuange Camp.

The crux of the matter is, was it so easy for them to find Xuange Camp?

You know, because of the tragic defeat in Yangcheng 19 years ago, the Great Yin Empire, which was completely angry at that time, had been tracking the Xuan Ge camp for several years.

Even Her Majesty the Queen offered a baron title as a reward in addition to a high bounty.

However, under such stimulation, the Great Yin Empire found nothing about the news about Xuan Ge Camp; it was as if these people did not exist in this world at all.

Likewise, they are currently encountering some of the same situations.

Not to mention that these people can be found, except for the traces left at the scene, there is no trace that these people have been to the magic city.

Another point is, what can they do after they find the traces of those people?
Frankly speaking, not to mention the useless snacks under his command who only pretend to be powerful, I am afraid that some specialized combatants will be dispatched; he still has no confidence in whether he can catch these people.

That’s right!Just think of the scenes I saw in the manor six days ago

There was an indescribably relaxed smile on poor Mr. Sassoon's face, which made him feel terrified.

God knows what he encountered during this process.

Anyway, just thinking about those scenes made his scalp tingle.

What is even more frightening is what if the people from Xuange camp seek revenge on him.

But he had to bite the bullet and try to find the people in Xuange Camp; just like this, as time passed, he became more and more anxious.

After a lot of smashing, his office was in ruins.

After venting, John Alexander finally calmed down a bit; he knew he had to find a way to relax his spirit, otherwise he would go crazy before the Sassoon family members arrived.

After taking a look at the sunset outside the window, he decided not to work overtime tonight but to relax.

As for where to relax, of course it would be to go to the opening dance of 'Deyue Tower', where I happened to meet the magical Ms. Anne.

You know, this Lady Anne, who is said to have returned from Stockholm, is a wealthy widow.

After inheriting all the inheritance from an unlucky wealthy businessman husband, he returned to Shanghai with hundreds of thousands of pounds of wealth and prepared to open a high-end club that combines Chinese and Western styles.

Not to make money, just to pass the time and get to know more friends.
Just for this reason, this Ms. Anne has a fatal attraction for the men in Shanghai.

What's more, in just a few days, this Ms. Anne has become the darling of the ladies in the magic city by relying on some methods that are said to make ladies more attractive.

According to the ladies, Lady Anne not only has an astonishing beauty and figure, but also has the elegance of a top noble in the Great Yin, as well as a wealth of knowledge.

The only drawback is that the lady's singing voice is not beautiful enough.

However, all the men in the Magic City have become extremely interested in it.

After all, who can say no to a rich, beautiful, elegant and noble lover?
With some inexplicable expectations, John Alexander pulled out an exquisite invitation card from the drawer where he worked.

After getting on the private carriage, it didn't take long to arrive at the 'Zhongyang Hotel' on the Bund.

wrong!This three-story Western-style building has been bought by the generous Ms. Anne; it is said that the price given surprised the original owner.

After a slight modification, it has now been renamed 'Deyue Tower', a name full of oriental style.

But buying the 'Zhongyang Hotel' was just an emergency measure.

Because there is a piece of land next to it, which was also bought by Ms. Anne, and is now surrounded by a large circle of curtains.

Even though it's getting dark now, you can still faintly see a large number of people working on the construction behind it.

A larger and more beautiful five-story building will be built here, which will be the real 'Deyue Building'.

'Zhongyang Hotel' was once the best and most upscale hotel in the Magic City, and John Alexander had naturally visited it many times before.

But after walking in, he still felt his eyes lit up.

Because there are some lanterns and Chinese-style decorations with the word "福" inside, there are also many maids wearing the costumes of the ancient Eastern Empire, which should be the palace costumes of the Tang Dynasty.

They were like a group of beautiful butterflies, shuttling in the ball hall.

I have to say that this kind of palace costume is much more beautiful than Daqing's cheongsam.

The only pity was that the butler named 'Yun Qing' who greeted him told him apologetically.

Because Ms. Anne needs to perform a dance for everyone later and is currently putting on makeup, she cannot come to greet and entertain herself in person.

Regarding this point, John David expressed it quite gentlemanly: It doesn’t matter, just play by yourself...

******
well!A sinister ghost man's mouth would naturally not have a Sichuan accent, but the meaning would be similar.

The main reason is that the number of guests coming to the dance tonight is actually much higher than he expected; many well-known people from various countries in the Magic City are here tonight.

There are even quite a few who brought their wives, daughters, etc. with them.It's just that these ladies and unmarried ladies did not stay with their husbands and fathers, but gathered around a young man with an Eastern face, but a rather tall and strong figure, dressed in Western clothes.

I don’t know what they are talking about at the moment, but the scene is very lively anyway.

In the eyes of these ladies, that kind of burning look means as long as you are a man, you know what it means.

There are also some ladies and ladies who currently have some abnormal flushing color on their faces; God knows what they talked about before?
Xu is an Oriental pretty boy, but he is favored by so many Western ladies.

There are even a few of them that John Alexander has been thinking about and pursuing, trying to develop into his lover, but has never succeeded.

With an inexplicable fire in his heart, he immediately walked over there with a glass of champagne in his hand.

Prepare to join related topics and use your knowledge as a gentleman from the Great Yin Empire to embarrass this young oriental pretty boy.

He didn't notice that when the other white-skinned men saw this scene, their eyes were filled with the feeling of "another unlucky guy is going to be embarrassed".

Why?Because after getting closer.

Before John Alexander could say anything, he heard the beautiful lady Mr. Henry, who was engaged in the cloth business, begging delicately:

"Mr. Sean, when can you write a poem that praises love? It would be best if it is about 'until death do us part'. If you write it, please let me read it."

"No problem, even now."

That oriental pretty boy started talking in such an awesome manner when he heard the words.

After hearing such a sentence, John Alexander suppressed the urge to speak, planning to wait until this oriental pretty boy wrote his poor love poem, and then satirize him.

Let him know that literature is not just about having a pretty face.

Then, amidst everyone's good intentions or malicious expectations, the Oriental pretty boy picked up the wine glass in his hand and took a sip of champagne.

Then he walked slowly in front of everyone.

When he reached the second step, his eyes suddenly became bright, as if he already had a clue in his mind.

This is indeed the case. A second later, a magnetic bass sounded, causing an intoxicating love poem to flow out like the water of the Thames:

"When you are old, your hair is gray and you are sleepy,
When you get old and can no longer walk,
Napping by the fire, reminiscing about youth,
How many people have loved your youthful and joyful moments,
The beautiful pretense or sincerity of admiring you,
There is only one person who still loves your pious soul..."

Seven steps, just the distance and time of walking seven steps, such a love poem with a general theme and a long content was read out by the pretty boy.

Although John was so stressed that he actually didn't want to admit it at all, he still had to admit that this was a classic romantic love poem.

At a ball in Europe, there were so many aristocratic ladies and young ladies that they just spread their legs.

And given my own level, I probably won’t be able to write a love poem of this level in my lifetime.

This pretty boy indeed has a terrifying talent.

In fact, such a love poem at present also shows a huge power; in the screams of "Brother Su is on top".

One after another, ladies and ladies covered their chests and fainted like wooden piles.

This is because these ladies are all wearing crinoline skirts.

Although this thing is tightly tightened by the waist, it looks extremely thin, and the capital is large and fierce, but it makes breathing quite difficult.

As long as he gets a little excited, he will faint due to difficulty breathing.

Therefore, regardless of whether "When You Are Old" is such a classic love poem, it is Yeats's work or not; in such a world, after being plagiarized by a pretty boy, it has nothing to do with him anyway.

At the same time, under the power of this classic love poem, all the old Western ladies fell on the spot.

Fortunately, Westerners have already had sufficient experience in dealing with such a thing.

Soon after, these old Western ladies who fainted were given first aid by pinching people, slowly woke up, and were helped to rest on the seats beside them.

But even if he didn't completely recover, that flowery look in his eyes made John Alexander believe something in his heart:
These shameless bitches, as long as the pretty boy looks at them, they will happily spread their legs.

But in front of his talent, he has been completely suppressed, and he doesn't even have the courage to speak at the moment.

Thinking of this, John Alexander, who had clearly planned to come here to relax tonight, became increasingly depressed.

Fortunately, Mr. John's depression did not last long and completely dissipated.

Because when a dance ended, the lights in the room suddenly dimmed, and only the lights on a makeshift stage became brighter.

And in the music played by the band again, the rhythm became more and more cheerful.

In such a music, a lady wearing a dance costume with glittering gold and sequins, similar to a bikini and decorated with a lot of feathers, appeared on the stage.

With a playful expression, he danced some cancan dances similar to those of legal persons, but more lively dances,

In an instant, in the eyes of John Alexander and others, in addition to the delicate and beautiful face, the slender and straight white legs could not be seen.

There is also the elf-like dance between the dances, and there is nothing else.

There was only one thought left in his mind: no matter how difficult it was, even if he had to fight with someone, he would pursue this Ms. Anne.

With such a thought, he couldn't help but look at the other gentlemen in the hall.

Then he was helpless to find that those gentlemen seemed to have the same ideas as him; the eyes looking at each other were full of indescribable smell of gunpowder.

"Brother Su! I'm afraid that the number of men in the public concession who are willing to fight for Ms. Anne will not be less than a hundred, or even more."

John Alexander thought so in his heart.

But even so, it still cannot reduce his determination to pursue...

But when all the white-skinned gentlemen in the Magic City Concession were like big roosters, filled with fighting spirit, they did not notice these details.

For example: Mrs. Vivian, a director of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau, who was 45 or [-] years old, received a note quietly slipped in by a servant.

I secretly opened it and took a look, and my eyes were filled with a huge surprise.

The next second later, she held her head and said to the ladies around her: "Sorry, I still have a headache, so I'll excuse myself for a while and take a rest."

After finishing speaking, he raised his hand to greet a servant and asked: "Sorry, I have a headache and want to take a rest?"

"No problem, noble madam, please come with me." The servant immediately expressed his voice after hearing this.

Three minutes later, in a room on the second floor, there was the newly minted great poet Mr. Sean, the pretty guy in the team.

With fiery eyes, he greeted this old Western woman who was twice his age.

Half an hour later, Mrs. Vivian, who felt like she didn't want to understand anything in her body, looked at the melancholy expression of this great poet.

Suddenly, the emotions in my heart became extremely soft, and I felt extremely distressed and said:

"Haney, why are you always so melancholy? No matter what happens to you, can you please tell me? Hanks still has some abilities in a city like this. No matter what trouble you encounter, I can help you. Go talk.”

"Really? No, it would make the pure feelings between us no longer so pure, so it can't be like this."

With an expression of surprise at first, and then a resolute refusal to accept it, the pretty boy started to act...
