Chapter 789

"Miriam?"

After the other party frankly announced a name, Mallory couldn't help repeating it secretly. But no matter how he recalled, he couldn't find a face that could match the name. After all, this is not a very common name.

But

you 're right! This attractive looking young lady is Miriam, who was followed all the way to Azkaban by Maka.

I don't know. She suddenly sneaked into the ball this time. What's she doing here.

"Oh, it's really a beautiful name. I think it's really suitable for the beautiful you."

Saying nice things to make girls happy is the most basic quality a qualified gentleman should have, and Marlowe is obviously very handy - or is he used to it?

In a word, he spoke very smoothly and praised it almost without thinking.

"Really?" Miriam was noncommittal. "I know you've been used to using these words to please women, but it's not necessary for me. Don't you think it's a waste of saliva to say these words to a worthless woman like me?"

"Er..."

It was probably the first time that she was rejected by a woman in such a straightforward way. Ma slightly obviously didn't adapt. Dialogue like this doesn't exist in family textbooks, does it?

"I... um, I'm sorry." Ma slightly pulled the corners of his mouth, trying to get rid of his stiffness as soon as possible. "Although I admit that what I said just now is too stereotyped, I think I should be right about 'you're beautiful'."

"Well," millian nodded with a smile when she heard the speech, "it's much better for you to say so - although you're also praising, only by letting the praised party feel your sincerity can the other party be really happy."

"Ah," said Mallory, with a subtle wink on his face, "so... Well, thank you for your advice?"

"Poof."

To be honest, millian didn't expect that the designated heir of the Augustine family would say "thank you" because of this inexplicable thing.

So she couldn't help laughing with her mouth covered.

Of course, Mallory is embarrassed now. Just now he didn't know what was wrong with himself. He just felt that he couldn't find how to respond for a while.

If you can't respond to others' words in time, it must be a very impolite behavior.

Therefore, when he hesitated in his head, he subconsciously said the first sentence he could think of. He didn't expect that it was so "silly" now.

"All right, master Augustine, forget what you just said!" Millie put down her slender hand covering her mouth, but there was still a residual smile on her face.

"Forgot? What?"

Since this was the first time that she had been teased repeatedly by women, Mallory really couldn't react.

"Of course it's all," millian raised her glass and took a sip. "Except my name, nothing else is very important... So that's all the jokes to adjust the atmosphere. But next, please write down every word I say."

"What do you say?"

Seeing millian's smile disappearing with the words, the serious expression made Marlowe subconsciously serious.

Once he calmed down, the approach of the beautiful lady in front of him suddenly made him feel deliberate, and the reason why the other party would find him, Mario Augustine, was afraid that it would be really revealed.

"Of course it's about you, the Augustine family," Miriam said in a low voice, looking straight at Mallory. "It's about the Witt family."

As soon as he heard the name "Witt", Marlowe's heart jumped - he didn't want to hear the family name, neither public nor private.

However, when someone mentioned the surname in front of him, he couldn't help but ignore it. After all, no matter how to say, it is also an ancient wizard family at the same level that has "origin" with his Augustine family!

"What on earth do you want to say?" Ma suddenly frowned and asked intently, "and who are you?"

"Oh, don't be so surprised," millian shook her head. "It's just an undisclosed withdrawal. Even if someone knows, it's only spread in a small range. Don't you see that the Witt family gives you face?"

"Not a divorce!"

Mallory was obviously annoyed that Miriam brought up the matter rashly. But he was still very restrained and didn't even raise too much volume to refute.

Because he knew that such a thing could not be said on this occasion.

"That's the unilateral repentance of the Witt family!" Mallory stared at millian sitting opposite and lowered his voice. "I don't know which side you are, but you don't want to threaten me with this matter - we Augustine family don't eat this!"

"No, no, no, no -" millian immediately waved the left hand without a glass. "Although I did come as a representative to make a deal with your family, and the content of the deal was really related to the withdrawal of marriage... Oh, no, I said it was related to the repentance of the Witt family."

At this point, she paused a little.

"However, there is no threat."

After hearing this, Marlowe could not help hesitating. It was obvious that he was still skeptical about millian's words.

"Then you --" he hesitated. "What deal?"

"Well, we can't say it here," Miriam smiled. "We need to meet your father, the current owner of the Augustine family - you can decide where and when, which may show our sincerity to a certain extent."

"'You '?" Mallory expressed his doubts with some concern.

"Yes, we!" millian said bluntly, "there are two people with me."

Mallory still hesitated and frowned.

"If you have nothing to say," he said slowly, "I will convey your words to my father... Of course, I don't guarantee that my father will pay attention to your so-called 'deal' with unknown meaning."

"Oh, of course I have to explain one more thing!"

Millian said with a look of "don't worry first".

"Our boss knows that the situation of your Augustine family in recent years is not very good..." she said leisurely despite the sudden change of Mallory's face, "so our trade fair starts with the transfer of 'elby and badmo company'."

"Eller..."

When Mallory heard the name of the company, he just felt familiar at the first time. But soon he remembered what company it was.

"You mean... The competitive broom company that launched fire crossbow and arrow three years ago?" Ma slightly suddenly said, "you..."

"Yes, our boss has bought it," millian said calmly. "At present, the most powerful and valuable flying broom receives a considerable number of orders from all over the world every year. Moreover, even excluding the income of fire crossbow and arrow, the profits of other types of brooms are also stable..."

"And that's our price for this deal with your family - you can repeat all these words to your father. I think he will be willing to listen to what we want."

Nowadays, many confident wizard families hold all kinds of ways to make money. Since ancient times, the growth of wizards has been linked to wealth, which will never change.

However, with the passage of time and the change of the world, everything has become different.

Muggle's scientific and technological power is growing, but the inheritance of wizards has lost more than half. The impact of this increase and decrease will eventually be worrying.

In this case, the separation of the wizard from the Muggle is obviously a rational decision.

Because they understand that if they continue to mix with Muggles, the two development systems of science and magic, which have the characteristics of mutual interference, will eventually end in the complete extinction of one side.

At that time, which party will die... This is quite self-evident.

However, in that year's change, the most seriously injured were these ancient wizard families. You know, originally they had many basic industries in the Muggle world!

"Elby and badmo company..." Mallory silently recited the name of the company again in the bottom of his heart. Then he looked at Milian and said, "although I don't know why you mentioned the repentance of the Witt family, but... I'll tell my father."

"That's good," millian nodded immediately. "In fact, even without this valuable 'gift', our transaction is also good for you Augustine family."

But this time, Marlowe did not show any happy expression.

"I have to listen to the specific content to know," he said with a strained face. "Then, if my father promised to interview you, where should I find you?"

"Oh, it's easy to do," Miriam said easily, ignoring Mallory's little vigilance. "My other companion and I are living in a Muggle apartment building in London now. Well, you wait..."

As she spoke, she took out a small piece of paper from her chest and put it directly in the middle of the table. When the horse saw this, his face, which had just stretched up, let out his anger again. Obviously, it had a great impact on him!

But Miriam is currently wearing a dress. If she has to say, the place where she can hide this piece of paper is indeed quite limited.

"Just send the letter to this address - remember to send it, not an owl."

After being stunned for a while, Marlowe took the piece of paper into his hand with a complex face.

"I hope we can get a happy deal," Miriam raised her glass and said happily.
