You Call This the Black Man Behind the Scenes?

Chapter 53: Messy Arthur

The men and women under the street lamps in the backstreet of Ernest Manor did not chat for too long.

About ten minutes after Kevin left, the graceful lady got up and said goodbye to Arthur.

In the dark of night, Arthur watched the other person’s back disappear into the corner before he reluctantly retracted his gaze.

Then, he saw Mellen walking out from the other side of the street.

“Are you already there?”

Seeing that the timing of Merron’s appearance was so clever, a flash of embarrassment flashed on Arthur’s face.

“Is the party over? Sorry, when I wasn’t paying attention—”

“Kevin Felix just left.”

Merron interrupted, “Let’s get out of here first.”

He did this out of caution, although some kind of result obtained by using the hush money to test Kevin before gave him a vague guess that was not very reliable.

But there is no definite evidence, this can not be regarded as relying on.

However, Arthur did not show panic after hearing the words, but was slightly embarrassed.

“About that…Ms. Susan said before she left, I don’t have to worry about her family, she’ll take care of it…”

“Are you kidding?” Merron was stunned when he heard the words, a little suspicious that he had heard it wrong.

“Of course not, that’s what she said.”

Arthur hurriedly said: “She also said that she would like to invite me to a dinner party later, and then, uh…then let me meet her son…”

Go crazy!

Melon was even more stunned when he heard the words, and then the thoughts in his mind quickly turned.

This **** is absolutely abnormal!

Let’s leave that guess aside for now, just look at what’s actually happening right now.

Arthur has initially hooked up with Jim, and Jim invited Arthur to meet the family at the first meeting.

This family member robbed Arthur’s girlfriend not long ago, and was extremely humiliating to Arthur…

Even in an open modern society, this kind of thing is too bizarre.

Not to mention in this relatively conservative world!

“Tell me what happened after you separated from me.”

Mellen then said: “Especially after meeting this lady.”

After all, today’s incident was planned in advance by the two of them, so Arthur did not refuse when he heard the words, and simply began to tell it.

Starting from meeting his fiancee Martha, going to the corner to borrow wine to relieve worries, and then being approached by the lady, and then going to the back garden to enjoy the flowers…

“This is going to the back garden… is he serious?” Mellen couldn’t help but interject.

Arthur was puzzled.

“Is there any unethical way to go to the back garden?”

“Uh, nothing, I think too much, you continue.”

“Actually nothing.”

This man, who was full of dullness before he came, now speaks with a little smile unconsciously.

“After we strolled in the back garden for a while, she proposed to go to the beach to see the sea, and said that there would be some glowing seaweed on the coast at night, which was very beautiful, and then we went in a carriage, but it was a bit of a coincidence today, so There was nothing to see but a dark stretch of sand.”

“And then, we came back and sat here chatting for a long time.”

“What have you been talking about?”

“It’s mainly because she said, I listened, nothing important, just mentioned some trivial things in life, too bland and boring. She misses her school days very much, and said that she envied me at my age, even if it was to make enemies with others, It’s always an exciting thing…”

“Oh, by the way, she also talked about the reason why she likes the white rose most, because this flower symbolizes pure love. Unfortunately, her marriage failed very much, and she can only pin her heart on flowers and plants. Fortunately, she is now divorced. , with a free body…”

This guy Arthur has obviously been moved, and even his words unconsciously have a taste of stimulating a single dog.

However, Merron, a single dog, was not stimulated, and his face became more and more strange.

“So, you never thought that the progress between you and the lady is so fast… Is it really wrong?”

“She said she likes excitement.”

Arthur said frankly: “And being with me is a very exciting thing. According to what you told me before, this is called a sense of immorality.”

Good guy, Meren was speechless.

He was still thinking that the guy was a pervert before, who would have thought that people had already admitted this, but they didn’t deny it at all!

Thankfully, Arthur said this with a calm expression on his face.

Although there is revenge, but looking at his appearance, it is obviously not just because this can help him avenge.

“Are you really sure that lady…is Jim’s mother?”

Mellen asked hesitantly.

He was now able to confirm his previous guess, so he was hesitant to talk to the big man in front of him who had initially stepped out of the shadow of being backstabbed by his ex-girlfriend and quietly glowed with his second spring.

“She looks a lot like Jim.” Arthur was taken aback when he heard the words. “It’s not his mother, who else could it be?”

“Maybe…his dad?”

“how can that be!”

Arthur was stunned when he heard the words, “I can’t tell if she is male or female? Besides, how does she look like a man?”

From the outside, it doesn’t really look like…

Mellen thought to himself, but he felt that some of his guesses were reliable.

First of all, the lady’s appearance does not match the rumors.

Although Merron thought this point could not represent anything before, but now with other clues, it has become a suspicious point.

Secondly, Kevin’s attitude was very strange before.

Seeing that her friend’s “mother” was hooked up by her friend’s enemy, not only was there no anger at all, but she was like a “child who did something wrong”, and she wanted to “dispose of” the witness, Melun, at all costs. .

This can be seen as Kevin is not directly related to the matter, so there is no anger at all.

And the huge hush money is just to prevent the scandal from leaking, and it is purely for the benefit of friends.

However, his mentality was not right.

There is a pervasive strange psychology in this sort of thing.

That is, if a man hooks up with someone’s girlfriend, wife or mother, then everyone will generally think that the man is the one who “takes advantage”.

And if the woman takes the initiative to hook up with someone’s boyfriend or husband or even father, then everyone will still think that the man is the one who takes advantage.

All in all, no matter who takes the initiative, it is the man who takes advantage and the woman who suffers.

So if Jim’s mother is really Jim’s mother, then Kevin, who is in Jim’s camp, should think that he is the one who suffers.

But now, the disadvantaged party not only did not want to find trouble for the advantaged party, but also took the initiative to pay a large amount of hush money, and his attitude was even a little guilty…

Is it really just because the outsider has no temper, or is it simply afraid that the scandal will affect friends?

Or, Kevin doesn’t think that Jim’s side has suffered a loss, but Jim’s side “takes advantage”, so he does not hesitate to pay a huge hush money?

This is just a preliminary conjecture, so Melon was just skeptical.

However, when he listened to Arthur talking about the chat between the two sides, he felt that his guess was 80% correct.

That is, what Arthur met was not Jim’s mother, but his father!

As Arthur said before, she looks so similar to Jim, who else could it be if it wasn’t his mother?

It won’t be siblings or relatives, because Kevin’s words have already determined the scope of Jim’s parents.

So, it can only be Dad!

And if that’s the case, then it all makes sense.

A lady who should have received a good education not only took the initiative to approach a certain man, but also invited the man to see the sea at night…

A woman who is serving in the Supreme Court of the Wizard and should be a serious-minded woman not only has no sense of seriousness, but is unrestrained, so unrestrained.

Not only did she invite the man she met for the first time to see her family, but this man was actually her son’s enemy.

The purpose is to pursue excitement…

To say that a person of this character can work in the Supreme Court, Mellen feels that the wizarding world is too degenerate.

But if you replace mom with dad…

“It’s still **** exaggerated.”

Merron secretly wondered if he had guessed wrong. This person was neither Jim’s mother nor Jim’s father, but was disguised by an outsider with special hobbies and even special purposes.

Otherwise, why would there be such a perversion?

And he’s also the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Magic’s Transportation Department, a proper high-ranking political official!

The more I thought about it, the more reliable it became. Mellon didn’t even consciously doubt that what happened at the banquet tonight was the result of that Jim’s father’s indifference?

Otherwise, Tangtang, a sizable wizard family, was infiltrated into a sieve. Not to mention, as the master, he was still hanging out with wild men outside without realizing it?

This is not reasonable!

“I think.”

Filled with uncertainty, Melon said slowly, “We should take a long-term view on this matter.”

“There’s no need to be so cautious.”

Arthur, who has been listening to Mellen’s words since the beginning of the plan, immediately retorted: “Let’s not say that she can’t be a man, even if he is a man, as long as he can avenge me, I don’t care!”

“But, have you ever thought about it, if he’s just playing with you, just making fun of you…”

Melon couldn’t say that the person might have another identity. After all, it was just speculation without evidence.

However, even though his words were not in vain, Arthur was still a little annoyed.

In other words, since Mellen said that Jim’s mother was not a mother, but a father, the tall and strong man had become a little embarrassed.

“Even if I play tricks on me, what can I lose?”

“What more can I lose? Dignity? It’s already gone! The future? Is there a future for me like this?”

“If I can get revenge, I don’t even need this life! And since I don’t even care about my life, what am I afraid of!?”

His tone was angry.

Or rather, he was not so angry that Mellen denied that Jim’s mother, but rather that he was angry that Mellen denied the ray of revenge he had just seen in front of him.

“Have you ever thought about how you would feel when your fiancée openly fell into the arms of your enemy in front of all your friends, and then kissed him without shame?”

“Have you ever thought that when your father who is seriously ill and dying is lying on the bed, holding your hand tightly, full of anticipation and hope that you can make a name for yourself in the wizarding world. As a result, you have now become the eyes of wizards. The big laughing stock, how would you feel?”

“Have you ever thought about how you would feel when your mentor who once attached great importance to you came to comfort you after you suffered setbacks, but his eyes were full of disappointment?”

“You haven’t thought about it, so you’d think it wouldn’t be a big deal if it failed tonight. And I don’t have to think about it at all because it’s my own **** experience!”

Mellon was silent.

The seemingly calm big man has obviously been occupied by hatred, and even if he is denied hope, he will become a little extreme.

However, some problems cannot be solved by mere emotion.

In other words, if you really stepped into a new trap unconsciously, emotionality will only make the ending worse.

“Maybe I should mention this to Mrs. Chelsea?” This thought flashed through Mellen’s mind unconsciously.

He thought it was possible that he suspected that Daddy Jim had another purpose, but because there were too few clues, he couldn’t be sure.

But if it is his teacher, he must have a deeper understanding of the entire Ernest family. If there is something wrong, he must be able to associate it.

Graham, after all, is her territory.

But…

Merron hesitated again.

Because if you want to mention this to the teacher, it will inevitably mention his and Arthur’s plan to seduce Jim’s mother, this… It’s too bad for his image, right?

…

When Merron was silent due to hesitation, Arthur did not continue to speak.

Instead, he sat on the side of the street, took out his pipe with trembling hands, took a few deep breaths after lighting it, and his expression gradually calmed down.

“I have given that blue heart and matching magic spell to our association’s mentor Edward in advance.”

He said, “I don’t plan to go back to the Meteorological Association until this matter is over. You can get it yourself later.”

“you sure?”

Mellon was startled when he heard the words, “Our deal is not done yet.”

“Your method works very well.”

Arthur replied, “If it doesn’t work out this time, I can’t think of how I can get revenge, so the deal ends here.”

As he spoke, a wry smile appeared on his face, “Sorry, I was a little excited just now, I shouldn’t be angry with you.”

“I can understand.”

“You shouldn’t understand.”

Arthur shook his head and said, “You should keep in mind, keep in mind my lessons, keep in mind the tragic situation I am now, and keep in mind the price I will pay for it.”

“Then, when you go to a wizarding school in the future, you’ll be less likely to get caught by those purebloods.”

“After all, your appearance is too conspicuous. There will definitely be many pure bloods jealous of you, and then they will not hesitate to harm others and not themselves to trouble you, and humiliate you in a different way.”

“There are good people among the professors in the school, but you can’t expect them to protect your safety. They actually care more about their future than kindness.”

“So you have to be vigilant, because everything depends on yourself, and with my lessons ahead, you can’t even trust the mixed-race friends around you.”

With that said, the 20-year-old youth put away his pipe, got up and patted Melon’s shoulder with a bitter look on his face.

“That’s it, if this can help you and those mixed-race compatriots who are about to enter school, I will also feel that this matter is not too bad.”

Melon didn’t say anything after hearing the words, just nodded silently, with a sincere expression, obviously listening to his heart.

Arthur was relieved to see this, but he had nothing more to say, so he turned and wanted to leave.

However, at this moment, a hesitant greeting suddenly came from not far away.

“Is it Iger? Iger Wilson?”

The sound came from the corner of the street.

Under the hazy moonlight, it could be seen that it was a young wizard in a black tuxedo with a mask in his hand, obviously one of the previous banquet participants.

He is a pure blood.

Arthur saw this, and a flash of vigilance flashed in his eyes.

However, before he could say anything, the hesitation in the boy’s tone suddenly turned into surprise, as if he had already seen Merron’s face.

“It’s really you! Iger? We’ve been looking for you before~www.readwn.com~ but never found it.”

“I didn’t expect to meet you on the way home!”

After speaking, without waiting for a response, he turned his head and shouted happily in the other direction of the street corner.

So it didn’t take long for a group of teenagers and girls of about a dozen people to run over from there with excited faces, and surrounded Merron.

“Iger! Can you tell me how you conspired with Kevin? Also, what are the identities of those people?”

“You’re on fire, Iger. My dad is the editor-in-chief of the Wizarding Education newspaper. He asked me about you just now.”

“I heard that Kevin is actually your brother, Iger, is that true?”

“There’s a party at our house tomorrow… can I invite you to it, Iger?”

“…”

“…”

Their problems were all kinds of strange, and they completely shattered the originally low atmosphere of the place.

Mellon felt a little embarrassed about it.

Arthur, who was on the side, stared blankly at all this, and didn’t come back to his senses for a long time.

When did this group of young but arrogant pure blood treat a mixed blood so politely?

Not only is his tone extremely close, but his attitude is very enthusiastic. In his expression, there is even a hint of reverence?

Even inviting Iger to the banquet was a little cautious, for fear that he would refuse…

This is not the most exaggerated.

The most exaggerated thing is that among this group of young pure-blood wizards, there is an acquaintance who used to be full of contempt and disdain for Arthur.

Seeing him standing beside Iger now, not only has his attitude softened, he even took the initiative to show him a smile…

Arthur was completely messed up.
