Chapter 370: The Republican Party is divided into establishment and MAGA!
Walking along the garden, Mo Cheng soon saw Helena standing in the distance. It was obvious that she did not go to look for Isabella and the others as she had said.
The temperature at the seaside was slightly cool at night, and when the cold wind blew, Mo Cheng could even see Helena shivering with his eyesight.
Being cold.
"Why don't you wait in the hall?"
Helena turned around and saw Mo Cheng in black priest clothing.
It does feel strange to say, according to the information Helena collected, the man with a unique name named [Mo Cheng] not only has a mysterious origin and powerful strength, but even some of his daily actions make people feel that he is out of tune with the people around him.
For example, he always wears a priest's robe. Although it is solidified with [repair technology], in a sense it is not cheap, but the clothes are almost never changed, which makes people wonder if he only has one piece of clothes.
At the same time, the food at Albert House is no secret, and anyone can find out as long as they ask.
From the intelligence gathered, it seemed that the newly-appointed Earl ate what the people in the Albert family ate. Apart from eating more than others, there was nothing special about his food.
Even if one ignores his identity as a count, his quality of life should not be so poor just based on the powerful strength he possesses.
Yes, poverty, even slightly wealthier families may live better than Mo Cheng.
So many people think that Mo Cheng is an ascetic monk of the Church of Light, because even ordinary people with some spare money cannot achieve Mo Cheng's almost unchanging daily life standard.
In addition, Helena also collected more information about Mo Cheng, some of which was for the cooperation with [Glimmer Ointment], and some of which was after the cooperation, in order to get to know the partner better.
As one of the few successful business people among the nobles, Helena was able to understand the prospects of the [Glimmer Ointment] owned by Mo Cheng when she saw such an item.
In a very short period of time, she calculated to what extent the market could be occupied by using [Glimmer Ointment] as the main product if production and sales were expanded.
That would be a staggering number.
But Mo Cheng and his factory only produced enough every day and had no intention of expanding. It was like an apple tree full of fruits. He only picked a few when he was thirsty, and then watched those ripe apples rot and fall.
In Helena's eyes, this guy who had been wearing priest clothes for a long time and was not a member of the Glorious Church was a concrete example full of contradictions.
"It seems that you have finished talking with Viscount Nidas."
"It's a deal that could be very lucrative."
Mo Cheng casually talked about what they had just talked about, without any intention of keeping it secret. To him, this matter did not seem to meet the standards that required confidentiality.
Although it wouldn't sound good if the content were to be made public.
"So, the party has already started, why don't you go to the hall?"
After hearing Mo Cheng's question again, Helena paused, then said, "Your Excellency the Count should know that Seranis' fleet sank a few months ago. "
"I've heard of it before." Mo Cheng suddenly remembered what Viscount Nidas said before, and looked towards the direction of the hall, "Could it be that..."
Helena had a blank expression on her face. "The fleet departed from this port. Half of the nobles in it had once invested in the fleet of the Seranis family."
Well, now Mo Cheng understood why Helena didn't go into the hall. If he were in her place, he wouldn't be willing to go in either.
At the same time, Mo Cheng suddenly thought that Helena probably knew that Viscount Nidas had invited those people. Logically, she should not have come. Then why did she tell him that she would also attend the banquet tonight?
Is it possible that this was done so that he could enter the manor safely?
The answer was not clear, but tonight's goal had been achieved, and Mo Cheng had no intention of entering the hall to deal with other nobles.
"Well, would you please, Baron, walk me around this garden?"
He picked a rose and handed it to her, "This is my thank you gift."
The investigation task entrusted by Margaret has not been completed yet, so it is a good opportunity to take advantage of the time when only the two of them are together to get some information out of the other party.
Helena was stunned for a moment, then took the rose, shook her head and smiled bitterly, "My Lord, is this your first time giving flowers to a woman?"
"Well, I guess so. Any questions?"
"Black or dark roses symbolize self-esteem, deadly hatred, and vengeful spirits. Generally speaking, this is not a flower given as a gift, let alone given to women."
Although he did not explicitly agree, he had already taken the first step and was strolling in the garden.
The two of them discussed the meaning of flowers while strolling around the manor without any purpose.
"Before, Viscount Nidas told me to stay away from you, saying that the trouble you were in was unexpected."
As they walked, Mo Cheng suddenly said this.
"Oh, I'm not surprised by what he said. What does the Earl think about this matter?"
Helena was not surprised at all, as if she had expected it. She played with the black rose in her hand and pulled off the petals one by one. "Do you think it's troublesome, or do you want to help the head of the law enforcement team with the investigation?"
"You know?"
"All the nobles in Fairhaven know that the daughter of the Laurenfrost family has a close personal relationship with you, Lord Earl. At the same time, given Captain Margaret's character, she will not sit idly by when reporting a case to the Law Enforcement Corps. Not long ago, she was planning to come to my house to learn about the murder of the captain under the name of Seranis."
Helena's tone was calm and at the same time distant.
Mo Cheng couldn't help but frown. He was a little unsure of Helena's current attitude. As a member of the emerging aristocratic group, and even once the leader of the emerging aristocratic group, Helena was likely to be hostile to the powerful aristocrat Lauren Frost.
Although the emerging nobles rely on Queen Caroline for promotion, Lauren Frost is also a die-hard supporter of the queen.
But it is normal that there are still parties within parties.
The Republican Party is divided into establishment and MAGA.
At this moment, Mo Cheng could keenly feel that if he gave a bad answer, Helena would most likely become wary and distant from him.
Although their relationship was not that close, this way, their relationship would become just that of a normal acquaintance.
Then, the possible route to obtain clues about the Captain's murder case will disappear.
