Chapter 353: Building Manager of Wantong Tower
Not far away, a man heard the noise and looked over. He stared at Audrey for a full two to three minutes. A strange look flashed across his face as he quickly walked forward.
“Miss Audrey, it’s you. Please come in.” The man who spoke was Charles, the head of Wantong Tower. He had a wide range of contacts and knew almost all the n.o.bles in Spark City.
Therefore, even if this person was just an ordinary resident, the ability behind him could not be underestimated.
“I’m Charles. Miss Audrey can tell me whatever you need,” Charles said warmly. Then, he turned to look at the shop a.s.sistant and berated. “This is Miss Audrey of the Davis family. Don’t neglect her.”
Hearing this, the shop a.s.sistant revealed a frightened expression.
Audrey’s name had long spread in Spark City. She had broken through to level-10 in one night, and her alchemy skills were second to none. It had long been spread by many people.
However, the shop a.s.sistant had never expected that she would meet Audrey and treat her with such contempt. The shop a.s.sistant was so regretful that her intestines turned green.
“I’m sorry, Miss Audrey. It’s my fault for not recognizing you.” The shop a.s.sistant hurriedly apologized and begged for Audrey’s forgiveness.
However, Audrey only gave her a cold glance. She did not have the mood to argue with a small shop a.s.sistant, nor did she want to attract too much attention.
“I want to look for your director.” Audrey sized up Charles, and a hint of a smile flashed across her eyes.
Since this person was willing to help, why should not she? However, according to Audrey’s intuition, Charles would not be a simple person. It was better for her to have less contact with him.
Hearing this, Charles was stunned. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said, “There are many people who want to see the director every day. I’m afraid Miss Audrey will have to wait for a while.”
“Okay.” Regardless of whether Charles was speaking the truth or not, Audrey agreed immediately.
Today, she had to see the director.
“Then, Miss Audrey, follow me.” Charles smiled and nodded. He brought Audrey to the lounge. “You can rest here first. I’ll call you later.”
Audrey nodded with a smile on her lips. That was great.
She stayed alone in the lounge and took out a book to read quietly.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the door of the lounge was finally pushed open. Charles walked in with a flattering smile. “Miss Audrey, please follow me to see the director.”
“Okay.” Audrey smiled happily and got up.
After leaving the lounge, Charles led Audrey upstairs. The higher they went, the quieter it became. It was so quiet that Audrey could hear clearly which room there was someone walking in.
As she walked, she looked around.
Suddenly, Charles stopped in front of her. He pointed at a big door in front of him and said, “The director is waiting for you inside. You can go in.”
In front of her was a very solemn door, as if the room was filled with mystery.
Audrey stared at the door, her eyes unconsciously showing a trace of eagerness. She nodded at Charles and pushed the door open.
Inside the door were layers of bookcases, and an old aura blew into her face.
Walking in was like falling into a sea of books. Audrey stood where she was and closed her eyes, feeling the aura of another person in the room.
A moment later, Audrey suddenly opened her eyes. A sharp gleam flashed in her blue eyes as she looked straight in a direction and walked straight over.
A man in a long black robe had his back to Audrey.
“I’ve already concealed my aura, but you found it so quickly. Your strength isn’t bad,” the building manager said meaningfully.
“Since the building manager has invited me in, why do you have to beat around the bush and not show my true colors directly?” Audrey snorted coldly. Her tone was sharp, and her neither servile nor overbearing manner made people look at her in a different light.
The director chuckled and turned around. Audrey sized him up. He looked to be in his forties or fifties, but he was still full of energy and high spirits.
“h.e.l.lo, Miss Audrey. My name is Constance. Please take a seat,” Constance said gracefully and invited Audrey to sit face to face with him.
Audrey was not restrained and sat down directly. There was a table between her and Constance. Before Constance could ask, Audrey had already said, “I’m here to inquire about an organization, the Carol a.s.sociation.”
When he heard the word Karo Society, a look of surprise and complexity flashed across Constance’s eyes. He gave Audrey a meaningful glance.
Audrey did not avoid his gaze. Instead, she chuckled and said, “Others might be unfamiliar with these three words, but the building manager must have some understanding of it. I want to know everything about the Carol a.s.sociation. You can name the price.”
In order to make progress in her investigation of the Carol a.s.sociation, Audrey could be said to have thrown caution to the wind. After all, it was only a matter of a few bottles of medicine for her to earn money.
If she really could not, it was probably possible to ask Lance to reimburse her.
“How much does Miss Audrey know about the Carol a.s.sociation?” Constance asked meaningfully.
“Very little, almost nothing,” Audrey replied frankly.
Hearing this, Constance curled the corners of his lips, and a profound look flashed across his eyes. Following that, he extended two fingers, and Audrey knew that he was quoting a price.
“Twenty million?” Audrey asked tentatively.
Constance nodded. This price was worthy of the words ‘Carol a.s.sociation’.
Audrey thought about the balance in her account. It was probably only this number. Although it would make her suddenly very poor, Audrey still agreed.
