You call this a black hand?

Arthur's fiancée Martha is a very small woman.

She has a delicate and pure face. She is dressed in a slim-fitting light red dress and is dressed very dignified. She does not look like a scheming person at all.

However, it was this person who made Arthur, a half-blood wizard with great potential, suffer ridicule, become depressed, and become so decadent that he even considered sleeping with his enemy's mother as his only means of revenge.

Because of this, when Arthur saw the person clearly, his expression was tense and even a little distorted.

But then, his face returned to calmness, or in other words, he pretended to be calm.

"A serious disaster?"

He sneered, "Is it more serious than what happened to me?"

"Disasters will cause a large number of fatalities..."

Martha replied in a low voice, looking at Arthur with very complicated eyes, seeming guilty, painful, and even a little aggrieved.

However, ever since the woman in front of him openly threw himself into Jim's arms and kissed her in school, Arthur no longer believed in any words or deeds of this woman.

"Ms. Elena from Roland Dessert Shop often asks me why I haven't seen you in recent months."

His eyes lowered and his tone returned to normal.

"In the clothing store on the corner, the skirt I customized for you has been sold to someone else at a low price by the boss. The boss thought I was playing a trick on him, so he gave me a good scolding before selling it."

"Teacher Edward was seriously ill a while ago. I thought about it for a long time and couldn't think of what condolences to send. In the end, I had to buy some apples."

"Little Tom's Chihuahua died. He cried for several days. He also told me that he missed Sister Martha and hoped that Sister Martha could visit him when she came back. If she didn't have time, could she?

write a letter……"

Arthur seemed to be saying something trivial, but to Martha's ears, it was extremely harsh, making her face turn pale unconsciously.

Because without that incident, these trivial matters would actually be her life.

But now, all these words turned into sharp knives, stabbing fiercely into her heart.

How sweet it all felt in the past, how sharp these knives are now!

Arthur didn't understand this at first.

So this is actually a basic conversation technique that Mellen gave him before. By telling some keywords or even some key paragraphs, the corresponding scene will naturally appear in the mind of the person you are talking to.

Meaningless scenes are of little use, but if the scene is meaningful or even has special meaning to the person you are talking to, then the corresponding emotions will naturally be aroused.

Then, when such emotions accumulate to a certain level, it will be easy to manipulate the other person's thoughts and decisions.

However, Mellen's original purpose of giving it to Arthur was to pick up a rich woman, but he never thought that Arthur would use it to beat his "ex-girlfriend" so violently.

The effect turned out to be quite good, which surprised Arthur secretly.

Unfortunately, even though her face became paler as she listened, the woman named Martha never responded.

Her last expression turned calm.

"Get out of here quickly while no one is paying attention to you, otherwise it will be too late."

Martha whispered, looked at Arthur reluctantly, then turned around and left.

"Pretentious bitch."

Arthur sneered in return.

However, even though he despised his ex-fiancée so much, he couldn't bear to look away until the other person's back disappeared into the crowd.

Then he suddenly lost the intention to continue looking for the target person.

So he carried a bottle of rum, went to a sofa in the corner of the banquet hall, sat there and drank to himself.

No one noticed this depressed young wizard.

A sudden masked dance made many young people very excited. They gathered in groups and chattered about topics of interest to them.

Huohuo turned a dance party into an anonymous dating place.

So there was noise and silence, excitement and depression... They were obviously in the same place, but the two sides seemed to be standing in two different worlds.

Until an elegant voice sounded, breaking the dull atmosphere in the corner.

"This kind of rum needs to be held in your mouth for at least ten seconds to release its true flavor. Drinking it like this is simply a waste."

The sound was pleasant, but there was an inexplicable harshness to it. Along with the sound, there was also a faint fragrance of violet, which made Arthur couldn't help but look up at the person coming.

This sight made him startled unconsciously.

The visitor wore a white lady's gauze hat, and her face was covered by a purple fox mask decorated with lace. While sitting on the sofa opposite, a pair of moist emerald green eyes were staring at Arthur with interest.

But that's not the point.

The point is, judging from her smooth chin and plump lips, she looks exactly like his enemy Jim.

Is it a goal?

Arthur was a little unsure about this.

He didn't know what Jim's mother looked like in detail, but he had heard roughly that she was a woman with an ordinary face.

But the current person, even if you only look at his chin and lips, it seems that he cannot be described as ordinary...

However, if a woman who looks similar to Jim is not his mother, who else could she be?

"Maybe the rumors are wrong..."

"That's right. With Jim's appearance, how could his mother be an ordinary-looking woman?"

There were a lot of knowledge points to remember in the past two days, so Arthur completely forgot that Mellen once said something to him.

That is people like Jim's mother. Even if they admire someone, they are unlikely to take the initiative to strike up a conversation.

So Arthur, who thought he had really been favored by fate, was a little excited.

But he has experienced a blow that ordinary people may never experience in their lives, and he seems to be calm.

"If a person is in a bad mood, then all the so-called wine tasting methods will turn to bullshit."

He replied in a low tone.

Because he drank a little too much, he was no longer as nervous as when he first entered the banquet hall, and his mind was particularly active.

Mellen had told him before that a man who has gone through many vicissitudes of life is very attractive to girls, and sometimes, middle-aged women are actually girls, but most people subconsciously ignore this.

Arthur is very depressed now, and he is not pretending. After all, he just met his vicious fiancée, which makes everything he does now a bit boring.

And Mellen also said that although a lady with a good family education would find it difficult to accept a person speaking dirty words.

But if this noble lady is a middle-aged woman and her life has not changed much in recent years, then they will actually be more eager for a little unexpected excitement.

Therefore, letting your words and deeds be full of wildness and ignoring the so-called rules and etiquette is more attractive than following the rules - people see the latter a lot.

Arthur didn't know if it would be more attractive, but after the visitor sat on the sofa opposite, he crossed his legs and obviously had no intention of leaving.

Moreover, judging from this action, she is obviously not a well-behaved lady.

"well said."

The lady, who was not like a lady, raised her lips and said with a smile: "But if you are in a bad mood, I suggest you drink a stronger wine than this, otherwise you will only become more and more bored."

While speaking, the man picked up a silver wine glass on the table and poured himself a glass of wine. However, he did not drink it. Instead, he casually played with the glass with his fingers.

Her fingers are very white, and her nails are painted with a light pink color. The contrast with the textured wine glass is obvious, making it difficult to look away.

At the same time, those moist emerald green eyes were always looking at Arthur with interest, as if they were very interested in him.

She is really a charming woman...

Arthur's eyes were unconsciously dazed, and then he lowered his head and pursed his lips.

"I really hope to drink the dragon flame wine of the Northern Empire, but it's a pity that I can't."

He did not hide his gaffe, nor did he hide that he was a "lower member of wizarding society".

Mellen said that only a strong person can completely conquer the heart of a "rich woman", but if you are not a strong person, then positioning yourself as a weak person is a shortcut to being conquered by a rich woman.

However, he said that the prerequisite for this situation is to arouse the interest of the rich woman in some aspects. Otherwise, no matter how weak he pretends to be, he will be no different from other weak people and will be looked down upon.

Arthur felt that he should have aroused the interest of the lady opposite him now, so he naturally followed Mellen's instructions and spoke.

"Since the owner of the manor didn't provide dragon flames, I'm not very interested in anything else."

"So, you like this silver rum?"

"It's not that I like it. I just asked the waiter for a bottle of the most abundant wine here."

"That's it..."

The lady nodded thoughtfully, and then suddenly changed the subject.

"By the way, I haven't asked you what your name is yet?"

"Arthur, he is a mixed race."

Arthur answered without any secret.

Mellen said that even if you can connect with your target, it will definitely take several repeated contacts to get "results". You can't expect to make any progress at the first meeting.

During this period, it is actually very easy for the other party to check his information. Lying now will only greatly reduce the target's impression of him later.

So there is no need to hide it at all.

And although mentioning your name when you first meet, it may remind the other person of what Jim did.

But when the status gap between the two parties reaches a certain level, this kind of conflict between children will not actually cause the other party to become hostile.

Because he is completely unqualified.

After the rich woman who takes the initiative examines the fact that Arthur has failed completely with her son and even had his fiancee robbed, she will have a complete sense of control over him and believe that Arthur will not pose any threat to her.

On the contrary, if the rich woman is a person who is eager to break her ordinary life and has a slight interest in Arthur, then this incident will bring her a strange kind of stimulation.

According to Mellen, this is called a sense of betrayal.

"Arthur?"

The other party was obviously startled when he heard this, and then as expected, there was no alienating attitude. Instead, he looked at Arthur more carefully.

As his eyes flickered, he seemed... suddenly very excited?

"Are you the Arthur who was robbed of his fiancée by extremely humiliating means and still endured it?"

"If you want to laugh, feel free to."

Arthur replied expressionlessly, "There are hundreds of people who laugh at me, and you are not missing one."

"I just want to know..."

The lady smiled and said: "How do you feel when you see your fiancée fall into the arms of the enemy?"

"That feeling of hopelessness in life."

Arthur replied slightly annoyed, "Are you satisfied?"

He was really a little angry, because he felt that the other party was just having fun exposing his own scars, rather than being simply interested in this issue.

In other words, Jim’s mother in front of her doesn’t seem to be a normal person!

"very satisfied."

Jim's mother, who was considered not a normal person, had a bigger smile on her face.

"But if you would accompany me to visit the back garden here, I think I would be more satisfied."

These words were simply off guard, and completely exceeded many of Mellen's previous statements.

Arthur was stunned when he heard this.
