AT THE open area of a cafe located just beside the plaza, a tall young man was leisurely drinking tea . He picked the cup on the table, his slender white fingers almost blended with the porcelain tea cup . He slowly drank the tea inside . His movements was elegant . It"s the kind of innate elegance that not many people could copy . Unless you were naturally born with it . Despite the indifferent atmosphere surrounding him, pa.s.sers-by and customers alike couldn"t help but stare at him .

What they didn"t know was that this seemingly handsome teenager was actually a young lady in disguise .

Argent ignored the eyes that fell on her . She continued to stare at the Holy Temple standing tall at the distance . She already managed to plant one of the device yesterday . But she needed to plant three more of the same device - each of which should be at the four corners of the Holy Temple . She couldn"t do it all at the same time because she would only look suspicious . Especially since she"s doing all this during the middle of the day . She didn"t think of doing it at night because she knew that would be riskier .

She put down the tea cup back on the table . Tomorrow night was the date of the dinner party that her sister and Clay would attend . Their purpose, of course, was to get an invitation to the auction from that Bishop Ernst . Argent thought of replacing Clay but she immediately refuted the idea . Although Clay was wearing a mask, the both of them still had different builds, not to mention, different hair colors . That young priest would certainly notice the difference .

Besides, Argent had confidence in her sister . She knew that Aurum would definitely do great whether she came with her or not .

Currently, Aurum was shopping with Clay in a high-end clothing store . The two were going to buy clothes for the guy because he didn"t have clothes appropriate for a dinner party . Since they"re going to post as n.o.bles, Clay couldn"t go there all shabby looking . Argent didn"t want to go shopping with them, so she decided to just wait here at this cafe until they"re done . She could pa.s.s time here and at the same time observe the surrounding of the Holy Temple . Maybe while she"s here, she could think of other ways to set up her device .

"Excuse me, Sir," said a girl"s voice in front of her .

Argent looked up and saw a girl wearing a waitress" uniform and holding a tea pot in her hand . "Yes?"
Advertis.e.m.e.nt
The girl suddenly blushed for no reason . "Do you want another serving of tea?"

By the waitress" question, she just noticed that the tea she"s drinking was almost gone . She looked up again at the waitress . "Sure . "

Being looked at by this handsome customer, the waitress blushed once again . She carefully poured tea on his tea cup and then shyly walked away .

Looking at the waitress back, Argent couldn"t help but be slightly confused . The waitress" blus.h.i.+ng face meant that she"s shy . But what was she being shy about though? Because of the waitress" appearance, Argent suddenly remembered someone . Lei Feng whose ears always turned red whenever he was embarra.s.sed .

Before leaving Xing, she remembered Lei Feng asking her if he could call her . She agreed . But it"s been three weeks now and she still hadn"t received a single call . He"s probably busy, he"s a general after all . Or maybe he had already forgotten about her . Thinking that it might be the latter, she felt a sudden squeeshy feeling inside her chest .

Argent frowned and just chose to ignore it .

----------

Clay walked out of the dressing room and Aurum immediately laughed . He was now wearing a frilly s.h.i.+rt paired with a bright red trousers . It was so not in line with the elegant white mask covering the upper half of his face . That"s why it was even more funny .

This was the third dress that Aurum forced Clay to try, each one was more ridiculous than the other . This was the only form of revenge Aurum could think of - so she could at least release some of her frustrations these past few days . Who told this guy to confuse her? And now she even had to shop clothes for him? She hadn"t even done that for her brother . It"s only right for her to have some fun .

Clay stared at Aurum who"s laughing so happily and just sighed helplessly . He already noticed her low mood earlier when Argent left them . If this could lift her mood, then he didn"t mind indulging her . She probably didn"t want to choose clothes for him . Which he couldn"t really blame on her . If he could, he would rather choose clothes for himself . But sadly, he didn"t really know what clothes an aristocrat should wear to a dinner party . So he really needed help from someone .

Clay couldn"t really expect any help from Argent . Even if he knelt in front of Argent and asked him to help him chose clothes, that indifferent guy would probably just kick him . So he"d rather have the temperemental sister help him . He didn"t mind being laughed at by her . That"s definitely better than being ignored .

"Well, at least one of us is happy," he said .

"It"s only right for you to make me happy . After all, I"m the one buying," Aurum said with her particular proud tone .

"I"m going to pay you and your brother back . "

"Don"t bother . We don"t lack money . Besides, didn"t my brother said that he would sponsor you and your cause? Just think of this as an early investment," Aurum said . "Or are you the type of guy whose pride couldn"t handle having a girl spend money on him?"

"That"s not pride . That"s simply being conceited . So no, I"m not the type of guy who couldn"t handle something like this," Clay said with a grin on his face .

Besides, he knew that Aurum was not insulting him by doing this . So he had no problems accepting clothes bought by her . He experienced too much set backs in his life to even be bothered by something like this .

Aurum stared at the grin that crossed Clay"s lips and she just had a sudden impulse to remove the mask on his face . She clenched her fist and immediately extinguished that impulse . In turn, she no longer played around and seriously chose clothes for Clay .

She picked a pair of black suits and pants as well as a white inner s.h.i.+rt . She gave it to Clay . "Try this . "

Clay silently accepted the clothes and went back to the dressing room .

"The young miss and the young master have a very good relations.h.i.+p," commented by the sales lady a.s.sisting them . She was standing on the side so she saw the interaction between the two . "Are the two perhaps in a special relations.h.i.+p?"

Aurum"s face heated up because of that question . But she immediately stopped whatever feeling that started to rise inside her . She looked coldly at the sales lady . "I"m not here to gossip with you, so stop . "

The sales lady suddenly trembled . How could this girl be so scary? "Yes, my apologies, miss . "

Then the dressing room opened and Aurum immediately forgot her annoyance . Clay, with the black suits and with the addition of the white silk mask on his face, looked like a true n.o.bleman . Even with a rather rough temperament, it didn"t detract from his charm . Instead, it just only added to it . One couldn"t help but want to remove the mask on his face to see what"s hidden behind . Now Aurum could agree that clothes do make a man .

"How do I look?" Clay asked .

Aurum raised one of her brows . "Are you fis.h.i.+ng for compliments?"

Clay grinned . "I look good then . "

Aurum snorted then turned to the sales lady . "We"ll take this set of clothes . "

After buying the clothes, the two left the clothing shop . They planned to go immediately to the cafe where Argent was waiting when they suddenly heard a cry in an alley that they were just about to pa.s.s by . They turned on the direction of the alley and saw a man holding a knife to a little boy .

"You"re a devil! You should die!" the man shouted and raised the knife he was holding as if to stab the boy .

Before Clay could think, his body already moved inside the alley where the man and the boy were .
