MTL - You Call This the Black Man Behind the Scenes?-Chapter 52 Seal fee

In the dark night, a group of phototaxis mosquitoes fluttered outside the gas street lamp shade.

They were scrambling around, and the crackling sound was clearly audible, but it did not affect the two men and women sitting side by side under the street lights.

One of the two was tall, wearing a slightly tight tuxedo and white shirt. The top hat was taken off and put aside, revealing short brown and yellowish hair and a tough face.

Obviously Arthur.

Beside him, a tall and graceful lady was turning her head sideways, chatting hotly with Arthur with a smile on her face.

They looked like they were just chatting, but that was enough to amaze Mellen.

The cultural outlook of the country under my feet is somewhat similar to that of the United Kingdom in the early 19th century. Although the male and female aspects are not so strict, the overall style is still very conservative.

However, if it wasn't for seeing that the clothes they were wearing were very "retro", Merron would have thought that he had seen a couple who had crossed over from modern times and were in an ambiguous period.

"It hasn't been more than five hours since Arthur and I were separated, and this posture of sitting together so intimately has obviously already developed feelings for each other..."

After silently calculating the time, Meren looked admiring, "Five hours, he won a rich young woman, he is too awesome..."

Mellen didn't think that Arthur, who had a "great revenge", would be distracted by a certain wildflower during the mission, so the lady sitting with him was probably Jim's fucking.

Although the image looks a little different from the rumored one, the rumors are not reliable.

In comparison, seeing is believing.

But if this is the case, Arthur's "revenge" speed is too fast.

love at first sight?

Mellen doesn't think so.

Because in this world, even if it is love at first sight, the progress of both men and women will not be so fast.

So the answer is very clear, Arthur has used the little skills he taught him to be superb!

The first practice to be able to have such an effect, this talent makes Melen a little envious.

Then, he glanced cautiously at the little yellow-haired Kevin beside him, who was still sluggish.

Kevin and Jim are good friends, and Mellen already knows that.

And now that Arthur has taken down Jim's mother, will Kevin inform that Jim next?

After the notification, Jim must have become angry, and then he will do something, but no one can be sure...

Merron is also not sure, because he did not expect Arthur's revenge road to be so smooth, so he did not make this plan in advance.

"You have to stop Kevin's mouth first, otherwise the time to deal with it will be too hasty."

The thought flashed through Merlen's mind.

However, just as he was pondering how to tie the little yellow hair beside him to tie him to keep him from moving rashly, Kevin, who was in a daze for a while, suddenly choked out a sentence.

"This matter, you must not - how is it you!?"

Kevin's voice was very low in the first half of the sentence, but when he turned his head to see Merron, he was startled.

Mellon heard the words very strange.

He thought that even though Kevin would be shocked that Arthur had gotten into his best friend's mother, he wouldn't be so "unsettled", would he?

It's not because of your mother, why are you so ignorant?

Didn't even notice who was standing beside him?

"I just said hello to you."

Because he was thinking about the next thing, Merron replied in a rather dissatisfied tone, hoping to suppress the other party with his momentum first.

However, what he didn't expect was that the other party took the initiative to sneak in before he could get a set.

"Listen to me, you must not tell anyone about this."

After pulling Merron to the building next to the intersection, and away from the couple, Kevin said in a serious tone, "Especially don't let some newspapers know about it!"

Your attitude is a little weird...

Seeing this, Meren was thoughtful, but on the surface his face was puzzled.

"Why? Isn't it just a couple having a tryst? What's the point?"

…

It seems that this cunning **** has no idea who these two are.

Kevin heaved a sigh of relief.

Although the body has become extremely different, as long as you have seen that beautiful face, you will never forget it.

So he recognized at a glance who the "lady" sitting with Arthur was.

That's why he was so nervous.

My friend Jim just robbed Arthur's fiancée not long ago, and now his friend's father has turned his malicious eyes on Arthur himself...

This kind of thing is really going to be exposed, but it is a big joke in the wizarding world!

Although there was a deadlock with Jim tonight, it was precisely because of this that Kevin took a special interest in this matter.

Because he actually felt so guilty about Jim.

After all, they have been friends from childhood to adulthood, and now Kevin chose to deceive Jim because of his own interests. Although he didn't say anything on the surface, he didn't feel like he was nothing in his heart.

At the very least, he didn't want to see Jim be the laughing stock of the wizarding world.

Because of this, Kevin naturally wanted to seal Merron's mouth, lest he go out and talk nonsense.

However, just when he thought that Melun didn't know the identities of the two people and that he could just lie to fool him, he saw the other party suddenly realize it.

"Oh, I remember, that big guy should be Arthur from the Meteorological Society? He's quite famous."

"The one sitting with him, um... seems to be a bit similar to the one from the Ernest family..."

He seemed to be on the verge of discovering the truth.

Kevin's face tightened when he heard the words, and he suddenly said:

"That's right, he's Jim's mother, Ms. Susan Corion Ernest, currently serving on the Wizarding Supreme Court. Her ex-husband is the Deputy Chief of Magical Transportation."

"So you should know now, why did I just tell you not to reveal this?"

Mellon raised his eyebrows when he heard the words.

If Arthur seduces the mother of the enemy Jim, then this incident will indeed be a huge blow to the Ernest family.

So it's understandable that Kevin, who has a good relationship with Jim, is so serious right now.

However…

He always felt that there was something wrong with this matter.

"What does this have to do with me?"

Merron then said: "I can't help but tell others about such a big joke, do you know how hard it will be?"

"But if you say it, you will offend the entire Ernest family."

Kevin threatened: "You don't want to offend two high-ranking political officials before you leave your apprenticeship, right?"

"It's true..."

Meren blinked, a look of timidity on his face.

However, just when Kevin thought he was afraid, and then a sense of darkness rose, he heard the small voice in front of him:

"But, I heard that there is usually a hush fee for this kind of thing..."

This guy is really a treacherous villain!

Kevin scolded secretly when he heard the words, and nodded seriously on the surface, "Of course, there will be a hush fee, just look at this one I'm holding in my hand."

As he spoke, he opened the suitcase he was carrying, then took out his wand and shook it inside.

The night was shrouded, and the little white shimmer was born out of thin air like a drizzle, and then swayed into the suitcase, and the pair of black boots placed inside was particularly clear.

Merron took this opportunity to look up.

These boots look a bit like calfskin, and are beautifully crafted, with a slightly distorted golden texture on the textured surface.

Under the pure white magic light, it looks both advanced and mysterious.

"The boots of the wandering soul, also known as the boots of the wandering god, were famous two hundred years ago by the famous thief Saskia Batusiak in the wizarding world."

Kevin explained: "After Saskia's death, this treasure fell into the hands of our Felix family. It is very precious, and it is more than enough to be used as your hush money."

Having said that, he glanced at the once life-saving trump card with a little reluctance, and then moved the open suitcase to Merron.

"What does it do?" Mellen asked casually.

"You can use it to get into a state of wonder where you can ignore any building or physical attack in the world and disappear into people's senses."

Kevin said: "The upper limit is three times a day, and the duration of each time depends on your wizarding talent."

"Won't it only last a few seconds?"

"The average wizard is at this level, but for a wizard with talent like you and me, it can last for at least five minutes."

Kevin couldn't help but "casually" revealed that he was also a genius, so as not to be too proud in front of him.

However, Mellen didn't have time to pay attention to his thought. After looking at the boots a few times and fiddling with his hands, he shook his head under Kevin's inexplicable gaze.

"You better give me the money directly, I don't really want these boots."

"why?"

Kevin was very stunned, "These are the boots of wandering gods, a famous life-saving tool in the wizarding world, and a fool will come and grab it when they hear it!"

"Because it smells like feet in these boots," Mellen replied.

"...What did you say?" Kevin thought he had heard it wrong.

"I mean, these boots that have been passed through N hands by an unknown number of people have foot odor."

Mellen gave him popular science: "You know, there are several ways to smell foot odor, because the foot odor is not contagious because the feet sweat too much, but if it is because the feet sweat too much, it breeds bacteria. My feet stink, but…”

He said a lot in a row, and Kevin's face became more and more red when he heard it.

This is mad!

He had just taken off the boots not long ago, and because his grandfather told him to give them to Mellen as soon as possible, he didn't have time to send them for cleaning.

However, now, a pair of life-saving cards that he regards as a treasure has been rejected by the other party with disgust...

Still with this kind of... this kind of insulting rhetoric!

Kevin was very annoyed and wanted to get the boots back, too lazy to pay attention to this shameless bastard.

But thinking of what his grandfather had explained before, he never made up his mind.

So in the end, seeing that Mellen had finished Science Popularization with an unfulfilled desire, a reluctant smile appeared on his face.

"Listen to what you said, taking out such second-hand boots that have the potential to spread the plague is indeed not enough to be used as a hush money. It's my dishonesty—"

"It's not second-hand, it's N-handed." Merron corrected.

"Okay, N hand..."

Kevin was too lazy to get angry with him, and decisively pulled out the magic pocket from his cuff, took out a few blue keys from it, and threw them into the suitcase.

"Then add the 600,000 grams of ghost dust. What do you think?"

"make a deal!"

Merron put it away when he saw it, quickly buttoned the suitcase, and carried it into his hand.

Kevin's mouth twitched a few times when he saw this, but he didn't say anything.

The guy in front of him obviously guessed that he was carrying his boots and planned to give it to him, so he used the stinky feet as an excuse.

The purpose is to corrupt the sealing fee.

This made Kevin a little regretful. If he had known it earlier, he would have paid for it directly, and he could have avoided a humiliation—what kind of cleverness would he be playing in front of such a cunning person?

However, he is not angry now, but a sense of relief.

This feeling did not come from the shameless person in front of him, but from Jim.

His current thoughts are very simple-

You see, Jim, for the scandal of your family not to be exposed, I have to pay and be humiliated, and I have paid so much. You can't blame me for "cheating" you, right?

If you don't blame me, then I have nothing to owe you today.

What? Do you think this is not enough, and blame me?

Then that's not my problem, it's your problem.

The guilt of "betraying" the friendship was melted away, but Kevin was quite satisfied.

But on the surface, he continued to exhort Meerun a few times in an angry manner, telling Merron not to leak the news.

Merron hummed and agreed.

However, when Kevin hurriedly went to Jim, ready to tell him about the scandal his father had done, and by the way "asks for credit", the expression on Meren's face suddenly became serious.

"It's not easy..."

He thought to himself, and when he looked at the two figures sitting side by side under the street lamp not far away, he was full of suspicion.
