Chapter 873: Undetectable Communication

After entering 22 Phelps Street, Audrey instantly saw Dwayne Dantès walk

out from the side corridor.

This good-looking and gentlemanly gentleman was wearing a black formal

suit and holding a gold inlaid cane. He was communicating with the

foundation's staff beside him.

As though sensing Audrey's gaze, Dwayne Dantès naturally turned his head

and looked at the door. Then, his eyes lit up in amazement like he had

seen a treasure. Following that, he smiled and gently nodded as a

greeting.

Audrey returned with a smile and nod that wasn't a breach of etiquette

in any way. She then followed the Loen Charity Bursary Foundation's

staff that came to escort her and walked up to the second floor.

During this process, although she didn't look in any other direction,

but be it the talent of a woman or her instincts as a Spectator, they

told her that Dwayne Dantès's gaze kept following her figure in secret

until the wall beside the staircase blocked his view.

*Impeccable acting! He perfectly played out the reaction of what a

gentleman who has zero resistance against beauties but remains

sufficiently reserved and cultured would do when meeting me for the

second time. It's as though we have only met once at the charity party

the last time... It's exactly as I imagined. He was even able to light

up his eyes...*

*This is a technique that's part of his Beyonder pathway, or is it an

ability that he possesses to begin with? I have to say that Gehrman

Sparrow, uh---I think it's better to use Mr. Gehrman Sparrow is a

professional, no---an excellent actor. Furthermore, he doesn't act in an

exaggerated manner like those play actors...* Audrey

complimented in thought before seeing a few reporters waiting to

interview her about the establishment of the Loen Charity Bursary

Foundation on the second floor.

She wasn't a noble lady who enjoyed having her photo plastered on the

papers. As she exchanged a few words with her valet that had accompanied

her to inform the reporters that pictures were forbidden by Earl Hall's

authority, she went into the VIP lounge with her lady's maid, Annie.

Earl Hall was friends with the owners of a few publishing houses and had

made the corresponding investments to acquire quite a bit of their

shares. If Audrey so wished, she could exchange some of the estate she

received in order to create a sizable publishing house.

In the VIP lounge, Audrey, who didn't find it appropriate to bring her

dog, greeted the children of the rich and aristocracy, as well as the

Church's clergymen. She habitually found a seat where she could see

everyone, and she waited until the opening ceremony began and for the

first board of directors meeting to begin.

She surveyed the area and said to the female staff that was in charge of

escorting her, "Lovesa, this is my first time joining in the actual

operations of a charity organization. I wish to know what we should do."

The lady named Lovesa was still in her twenties. She also had blonde

hair with somewhat rough skin and tanned freckles. However, her smile

was brilliant, making her rather affectionate.

Upon hearing Audrey's question, Lovesa introduced without holding

anything back, "The current plan is to not be too eager in widening the

scale. We will start mainly with Backlund and reach deep into the public

primary schools, weekday schools, and night schools, promoting the

bursary to all the students and let those in need to apply to us.

"After the application, we will organize a committee to do the exact

audit. This will not only require us to make some verifications with the

government, but we would also walk across the grounds to understand the

candidate's actual situation.

"Once the examination is over, we will disburse the bursary and help the

poor who yearn for knowledge to change their fates..."

Just as Lovesa said that, a male voice filled with magnetism

interjected, "I have two suggestions:

"The first suggestion is that staff are to be gathered today to head to

the different weekday schools, night schools, and public primary schools

to promote the bursary. June is the examination period, and it's a

critical period for them to enter institutes of higher learning. If we

aren't efficient enough, there will be many students from poor families

that will give up taking the examination because of the lack of funds.

Even if they later learn of the existence of the bursary foundation,

they won't be able to withstand the loss of wasting a year. As such,

they will lose the chance at changing their fate.

"What we are doing might seem simple, but it completely affects each and

every child's life. Therefore, we need to begin quickly and not waste

any time."

The person who was speaking was none other than Dwayne Dantès who had

just entered the lounge. He expressed his thoughts with a warm but

serious expression.

*Ah right, June is the examination period. Be it entering grammar school

or the preparations to enter university, as well as the various

technical schools to gain experience in their profession, this is a

critical period. Once they give up the entry examinations this time,

they will have to wait till next June... I actually forgot this. Ma'am

Lovesa and the foundation staff seems to have missed this problem... Mr.

Dwayne Dantès actually noticed such a detail and had considered those

children who are so close to giving up their dreams... He's actually a

person with a gentle heart?* Audrey suddenly felt that she had a

new take on Dwayne Dantès---on Gehrman Sparrow.

This was what a Spectator had just obtained.

*A cold assassin, adventurer on the surface but has a warm heart deep

down? Unfortunately, I've only been able to obtain descriptions

regarding Gehrman Sparrow's crazy side. I'm unable to find any concrete

proof...* Audrey blinked as she carefully listened to Dwayne

Dantès's suggestions.

"Second suggestion. In regards to the bursaries that are to be

disbursed, it's best if it's put in the corresponding bank account. When

school fees need to be paid, they can bring their documents to us to

apply for a withdrawal. For relatively cheaper board and lodging, things

don't have to be that troublesome. They can obtain a fixed sum of money

every month or week. This is to prevent the applicant's parents and

siblings from spending the money. To a poor family, this is an

irresistible temptation. Similarly, an account corresponds to one

person. No matter who is withdrawing it, the person has to be present.

This can effectively prevent people from suffering from the trial of

greed."

Having said that, Klein pressed his palm to his chest and said to Audrey

and Lovesa, "Sorry, pardon me for barging into your conversation."

Audrey smiled and said, "Mr. Dantès, your suggestions are excellent. You

have opened my eyes to matters that I never considered before.

"The only problem is that what you say to us is meaningless. I'm only

listening to Ma'am Lovesa's introduction."

Lovesa smiled and said, "Yes, you should mention all of these at the

first board of directors meeting."

*Don't you see me deliberately coming over to convince Miss Audrey

first? With Justice's part in this, I can ensure that there will be no

objections from the board of directors. Otherwise, it might easily be

tabled or altered by someone using some excuse such as lacking

manpower...* Klein made an enlightened and regretful expression

as he rubbed his palms slightly.

"Look at me! Being all anxious about these matters and forgetting my

place! Hahaha! Sometimes, I just wish that things will be made into

reality once I'm given the chance."

*Mr. Dwayne Dantès's acting is a little exaggerated... He should know

that he can't fool me. Oh, he's doing it deliberately to communicate

with me ahead of time without leaving behind any traces. He wants me to

support him?* Audrey instantly read his thoughts as her smile

turned clearer.

Although she hadn't communicated with The World ahead of time, she

believed that she would support this Tarot Club member of hers. However,

being able to exchange some ideas ahead of time left her rather happy.

This was because she felt that he was treating her as an equal.

After "forgiving" Dwayne Dantès's recklessness and watching the man walk

to the table with beverages and pastries in the lounge, Audrey looked

away and said to Lovesa, "What I'm responsible for is to raise funds at

different occasions, and to communicate with the government and

parliament?"

"That should be a simple matter for you," Lovesa answered frankly.

This was also why the Church's charity department didn't object to

Audrey Hall's participation. In fact, they were very supportive of it.

Audrey nodded in thought and said, "If I have the time to spare, can I

join you in visiting the different schools for the promotions, as well

as the examination of the candidates?"

Lovesa was originally unwilling to agree, worried that the environment

wasn't suitable for Miss Audrey. But when she saw her clear green eyes

and took in her request that she couldn't resist, her heart softened.

She felt that such kindness shouldn't be stopped. It wasn't to be

isolated from the reality of the lower class.

*If Miss Audrey sees true misery and ugliness and is still willing to

help the pitiful people, she will definitely be able to be of greater

use. It will prevent the higher-ups from always formulating unrealistic

measures...* Lovesa quickly found a convincing reason as she

sighed and smiled.

"No problem.

"However, you won't be able to wear such a dress or wear any jewelry."

*What do I do with Lie? Turn it into a bracelet and hide it under my

sleeves?* Audrey thought as she replied with a smile, "Alright."

With Miss Audrey Hall's support, the Loen Charity Bursary Foundation's

first board of directors meeting ended perfectly after its

establishment. Klein returned to 160 Böklund Street in a good mood.

Following his usual habits, he entered his master bedroom at around two

to have an afternoon nap.

In his hazy dream, Klein suddenly jolted awake and sensed something.

Someone was attempting to infiltrate his dream!

*Who is it now? I'm even getting disturbed in my afternoon

naps?* As Klein mumbled, he made the dream transform into the

half-open room with the balcony.

Then, he saw the black-haired, green-eyed Leonard with his unkempt

clothes somersault through the window.

*Does this fellow not know how to use the main door? Why is he suddenly

here? I should remember to get his contact method...* Klein sat

in his reclining chair, feeling peeved and amused. He looked at the poet

with a leisurely expression and said, "This is an impolite way of

visiting me."

When Leonard heard that, he bowed in a manner that lacked standards.

"Mr. Dantès, I have something I would like to consult you on."

*Consult? That's a nice attitude. Also, it doesn't seem to be anything

major...* Klein secretly tsked as he said, "What's the matter?"

Leonard grabbed a seat and deliberated before asking, "You were

embroiled in Cuarón's suicide. Who do you think the real murderer is?"

*If I wanted to know, I would have thrown out Frank's mushrooms!

However, I can't say that I've no idea at all. That just lowers the

impression he has on me...* Klein was very accustomed to such

situations, so he expertly laughed and, instead of answering, asked,

"How were your investigations?"
