Chapter 178: Knowing the person, knowing the face but not the heart
“Can’t you even double the price?”
"Sorry, no." The middle-aged man smiled apologetically and then refused Grayfos' request.
Graves said that the weapon concepts he had told him were completely beyond the scope of the regulated weapons. As Caitlyn's father, he could not know the law and violated it, which would smear her daughter.
"Hey, there's nothing to say." Graves sighed, slapped Drizzt beside him, and turned toward the door.
The middle-aged man thought he was going to walk out of the workshop, but he didn't expect that Graffus would walk to the door and lock the door, and then walked back.
At this time, his wife came over with a box of parts in her arms, and he began to realize something was wrong.
"Madam, I'm sorry first." Drizzt picked up a card. The back of the card was broken chains, emitting a golden magic glow.
...
"Jeno, where did you go some time ago? I can't find anyone if I want to drink coffee."
Caitlin held her cheek with her hands, and looked at the absent-minded man in front of her with bright eyes.
Since the south of the city was invaded by plants, Caitlin hasn't seen Jeno for a long time. The incident about plant invasion was something that happened after Jeno came back from the city, and there seemed to be some connection between the two.
"I didn't go anywhere in the manor."
Caitlin seemed to be a little too wide to control her. Geno didn't want to tell her the truth about the recent supernatural incident.
The supernatural event will continue to happen. Zelas has no news after entering the rainforest, and Geno is distracted only after he doesn't know where he is going.
He has been trying to target Zelas for a while, but his understanding of Zelas is only because he knows that the other party is an energy collection, the incarnation of magic.
Geno plans to use the Forbidden Magic Stone to create a batch of weapons, but the exploration and research and development of new fields are really slow. If Zelas comes to Piltwolf now, he will not be able to come up with technology that can be targeted at all.
It would be great if Demacia's forbidden magic statue could be brought over.
A finger left a slight red mark on his head, and the pain pulled Geno from his thoughts back to reality.
"Who allows you to distract yourself when talking to a beautiful lady? If you don't cooperate, I will start a routine investigation."
"Sorry, I just..."
Geno's continuous ignorance has exhausted Caitlin's patience.
"Someone discovered that you were involved in a violent incident that happened at the School of Science and Technology Magic a few days ago. Can you tell me what happened?"
This time Caitlin took out the record notes and quills and prepared to do private affairs.
She had contacted two monsters that appeared on the scene, the werewolf, and the filing also recorded relevant information, but she had no information at all.
"That happened in Zuan, it's not your responsibility, right?" Geno asked back.
"But you are in Picheng, and now you are under my jurisdiction. Moreover, Zuan Technology Magic Academy has shares in Picheng, and Picheng police are qualified to intervene in the investigation."
"I am so curious, no wonder I can't get married even though I am twenty-eight." Geno complained, his voice was not loud, just as everyone in the cafe could hear it.
He wanted people to notice this so that Caitlin could not continue because of the crowds and eyes.
"Don't change the subject." Caitlin's serious expression was stained with a hint of imperceptible blush, but it was limited to this.
Geno thought he could go deeper on this topic, but the next moment, Caitlin's eyes looked like he was going to kill someone, and the tip of the boot kicked directly into his calf.
It hurts to be kicked by the tip of the shoe, but after experiencing all kinds of pain that were beyond imagination, Geno felt nothing.
"That's just a legacy problem left after the plant evacuated from Picheng City, and it has been solved."
The structure of the Twin Cities is still too small. He is the only one who has a shallow understanding of the Void creatures in the Twin Cities.
"Is that true?" Caitlin was skeptical.
If Geno really refused to tell her, she could not force the other party to cooperate. She also investigated the crime scene. Judging from the traces left by the monster, it was really not something she could deal with.
She looked at Geno thoughtfully for a while, and finally she didn't write anything. Then she saw an incident recorded on the memo page, and her face turned pale and then turned red.
After a long struggle, I finally made up my mind and told him a long-prepared dialogue in a very cramped tone:
"That... can you invite you to my house for lunch? My parents want to see you, right... it's just the kind of technical experience exchange between colleagues. They are also technical craftsmen like you."
Caitlin didn't dare to look at Geno's expression, but he was calm on the surface of the cool coffee. His expression changed just now, and his eyebrows were full of entanglement. Now she wanted Geno to refuse, but she didn't want to be rejected, so she could only wait for the other party's reply uneasy.
Although it was the request of her parents, it took more courage to say these words on her own than to break into a thief's nest alone.
And she also knows that the so-called exchange of experience is actually similar to blind dates for women...
If Geno went to her house, she would never dare to think about what would be like next.
Then she saw the reflection on the coffee, and Geno nodded and spit out a word:
"good."
Caitlin was suddenly shocked.
What's the situation?! Why did you agree so easily!
Jeno, have you been waiting for me to say this long ago?
Are you interested in your sister? No, we are almost ten years apart! There is a full generation gap!
I feel that Geno can easily pass the request of my parents. Am I going to marry into a wealthy family?
Even so, I will not succumb to the power of the big family. I, Caitlin, must follow this new identity and unearth all the secrets between the big family!
Sacrifice my happiness alone and give Piltwolf a law-based society!
Wait, I don't seem to lose?!
...
...
"Sir, this woman in front of you is crazy about self-propelling, thinking about your married life, and even thinking about the name of your children." Hex suddenly appeared in Geno's mind with a jealous voice.
Since the super electromagnetic hand cannon was born, this guy has always tried to please Jeno intentionally or unintentionally.
Now it often spys into other people's hearts and reports to Geno, which is quite helpful to him. As a result, he has learned more about the expressionless Camil on his face, and his cold human-shaped weapons are gradually heating up.
And this time, Hex just peeked into Caitlin's heart, and was frightened by her crazy thought storm.
