Chapter 83 Raphael's Lobbying of Klein
Raphael immediately realized that the wealthy man's identity might be a cover for the other party, and as long as he didn't act too outrageously, Mr. Dantès wouldn't harm him.
At this moment, Raphael also realized why he had been so apprehensive when he decided to meet this wealthy man.
Because he planned to suddenly appear at Dawn Dantes' party and ultimately portray the "werewolf".
The feeling of being terrified is a spiritual warning that if he actually does that, he will die a terrible death.
Furthermore, Raphael was certain that he once possessed memories of this wealthy man, but for some reason, they were covered by layers of gray fog.
This indirectly proves that this demigod is not simple.
Because the memories that were also covered up included those about Adam and about the "true Creator".
At the same time, Raphael breathed a sigh of relief, because he really did have something to see Dantès about today, and the widow's request was a good cover.
So after they were both seated, Raphael began to get down to business. He was prepared and started by talking about the current buying and selling of titles in Rune.
Klein knew Raphael's arrogance, so he wasn't in a hurry and simply continued the conversation along the lines of the other man.
At this moment, he was truly at ease. He not only knew Raphael's purpose in advance, but also knew that the guy in front of him was actually a time traveler.
Raphael was clearly unaware of this, meaning there was an information gap between them.
Klein hadn't yet found out anything about this fellow villager, so of course he had no intention of acknowledging him.
At this point, Raphael changed the subject: "Mr. Dantès, to be frank, I know very well that money can no longer sway a wealthy gentleman like yourself."
"But if you want to achieve a higher status, money plays a much smaller role."
He paused, then added, "I recently heard some news that might be helpful to you."
Klein feigned curiosity: "What news?"
At the same time, he felt that Raphael had not shown any crazy side so far.
In fact, Raphael himself did not realize that since drinking the "Fallen Angel" potion, he was no longer as insane as before.
"There is a lady with a noble title who longs to find a life partner to bring new brilliance to her dreary life," Raphael said earnestly. "Mr. Dantès, I think this is an opportunity for you."
Klein thought to himself: If I were really a millionaire, this would be a great opportunity. But—but I'm not!
"This is indeed an opportunity," Klein said with a smile, wearing Dawn Dantes's face. "But I've been quite busy lately and haven't had time for this at all."
Raphael said earnestly, "If you can't handle it, I can take care of it for you."
"Don't worry, it won't take up too much of your time. You only need to meet with that lady occasionally."
"Wait until you're done with your busy schedule before considering taking things further with her."
Klein thought to himself: "He's clearly an envoy for Lady Matilda, yet he acts like he's considering things from my perspective. This guy certainly has some brains."
Then he thought to himself: After I finish what I'm doing, I'll probably have to escape Backlund, or even Loon. How can I still have the mood to flirt with a widow?
Klein then further declined, saying, "I'm sorry, I really don't have that plan right now."
Before Raphael could say anything more, Klein spoke first: "It has been very pleasant chatting with you, but if we're going to continue this conversation, please excuse me."
Raphael had no choice but to say, "Alright then."
In his heart, however, he was cheering: at least he didn't give himself away.
The two then discussed the current international situation, and quickly reached a consensus that war was possible.
Then they talked about some social issues, and they quickly reached a consensus on many issues.
Raphael thought to himself: Could this guy also be an Extraordinary being of the "Audience" pathway? Why does it feel like I've met a kindred spirit?
Klein thought to himself: Raphael was the kind of person who lived a very clear-headed life before he traveled through time.
When the conversation turned to current business trends, Klein suddenly said, "There's something I might need your help with."
He smiled and said, "I originally planned to investigate through other channels, but after meeting you today, I think it would be more appropriate for you to do the investigation."
Klein suddenly realized that he could use this opportunity to establish some contact with Raphael and conduct further investigations if the opportunity arose.
Raphael shared the same idea. After his previous battle with the "liberals," Raphael realized the benefits of having someone back him up.
If he hadn't met Mr. White, he would have run into the Church of the True God that night to hide, and eventually had to seek help from the official Extraordinary, becoming their informant and completely tied to the position of the Mafia boss.
However, this wealthy man in front of him was clearly not as easy to deal with as Mr. White.
But in any case, this could be a channel for Raphael.
Although Raphael dislikes joining extraordinary organizations, he would not refuse to establish good cooperative relationships with extraordinary individuals of a higher rank than himself.
So Raphael asked, "Investigate what?"
"Have you heard of Kent Machinery Factory? They're currently seeking investment to develop new products, and I'm very interested in that investment," Klein said, mimicking Dawn Dantes. "But the factory's owner, Kelton Kent, doesn't have a very good reputation."
"This makes me a little hesitant, so I would like to ask you to investigate the new product that is under development and whether there are any problems with this investment."
It's not that Kelton Kent has a bad reputation, but rather that Klein had previously predicted that the investment would fail, but there would be unexpected gains.
He hadn't had a chance to claim the specific gains yet, so he could let Raphael investigate and establish a cooperative relationship in the process.
Raphael noted down a few key pieces of information: "No problem."
After chatting for another half hour, Raphael politely took his leave, and Klein escorted him to the living room door. Both of them looked like they wanted to continue the conversation.
After watching Raphael leave the courtyard, Klein smiled and said, "He's a very interesting fellow."
This was actually meant for the servants around them, to let them know that they got along well with Raphael, so that it wouldn't seem awkward when they met again.
Dawn Dantes's butler, Walter, was about to warn him that it was best not to associate too closely with such a person, but after hearing his employer's words,
Then he thought that the employer's background was similar to Raphael's, and such a reminder would be seen as sarcastic towards the employer, so in the end he didn't say anything.
After his meeting with Raphael, Klein went to the Rune Charitable Scholarship Fund as arranged that morning, and soon noticed that Audrey Hall seemed to be in a low mood.
