Chapter 538 Preliminary Consensus
The four of them walked into the magnificent Aubrey Opera House together.
As soon as we entered the door, we saw some Meilushin following the security team members who were guarding their posts and maintaining order at the scene.
At this time, Shao Yun did not immediately follow Paimeng's hurried footsteps, but stood still and began to look at the interior decoration of this magnificent hall with interest.
Just as Shao Yun was immersed in admiring the exquisite interior of the hall, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Haha, you guys really kept your promise and showed up on time! It's so great to see you!"
Linnie appeared beside him without anyone noticing, with a bright smile on his face, and said teasingly.
Seeing this, Paimon shook his finger at Linny and responded in a serious tone: "We have been looking forward to watching your wonderful performance. How could we miss this rare opportunity!"
After hearing this, Linny's mouth corners rose even higher, and he replied: "Well, of course I believe you! The fact that you came so early is enough to prove it."
"It's just right. There are hardly any spectators in the venue yet. This is a rare opportunity. I have arranged the best seats for you. Take your tickets..."
After saying that, Linnie took out a carefully prepared ticket from his pocket and handed it to Paimon.
"The opera house has a special number and seat system, so every audience member who comes to watch the performance must register in advance."
Paimon took the ticket with great joy and could not wait to glance down at the seat number printed on it. When she saw the number clearly, she almost jumped up with excitement and shouted excitedly: "Wow! It's a great seat in the front row! It's great! Thank you so much, Linny!"
Hearing Paimon's thanks, Lini just smiled faintly and responded modestly: "It's nothing, no need to be so polite..."
At this moment, a slightly anxious shout suddenly came from the preparation room backstage.
"Hey, Mr. Linney, please come over here and help me take a look..."
Linney's magic assistant "Cowell" is calling him.
Lini quickly turned his head to look in the direction where the voice came from and responded loudly: "Okay, I'll be there right away..."
Then, he looked at Paimeng, Shao Yun and others with a little apology, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, everyone, my assistant Mr. Cowell seems to have encountered some troubles at the moment, I have to go over and see what's going on..."
After that, Linny hurried away with Linnet to deal with the emergency.
……
On the other side, Eula, who received the task, stood straight in front of the door, like a well-trained doorman.
She had a professional smile on her face and kept repeating the welcome words she was told to say.
"Welcome to the Oprykle Opera House, enjoy today's performance."
However, only she herself knew that deep in her heart there was an indescribable feeling of discomfort.
After all, she had never been a doorman!
Just then, Shao Yun and his group slowly walked over.
When Eula's eyes met theirs, she subconsciously wanted to avoid them, but in the end she still went forward.
She pursed her lips tightly, trying to suppress the awkwardness in her heart, and said softly: "Please... please come in... welcome to the Oprykle Opera House... enjoy today's performance..."
Paimon was keenly aware of Eula's discomfort, but she didn't say much. She just politely and briefly greeted her: "Eula... Hello, we'll go in first."
Eula forced a smile and responded, "I wish you a good day..."
After watching them go in, Eula finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After entering, Paimon grabbed his hair weakly and muttered in distress.
"Hmm... This feels so awkward! How about we leave Fontaine and head to Natta right after watching Linnie and Linnet's performance? I really can't stand this atmosphere!"
Paimon was not joking. This weird atmosphere not only drove Eula crazy, but she herself felt like she was about to collapse.
Ying, who was standing by, heard Paimeng's complaints, reached out and touched her little head, and comforted her: "Okay, Paimeng, even if you want to leave, you have to wait until the show is over."
"Don't worry about so many troubles now, let's go find our seats."
……
Putting aside the awkwardness between him and Eula, Paimeng led Shao Yun and Ying towards the first row of the opera house.
Finally, they found their place.
"Our seat is right here, it's really the first row, wow, we can see it super clearly from this way!" Paimon exclaimed.
At this time in the opera house, in addition to Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng, Villette and Funina also arrived at the scene early.
I saw Funina sitting elegantly in the VIP seat above, sitting solitary and gracefully.
And Villette sat quietly beside Shao Yun and his group.
Paimon glanced secretly at Navilette beside him, then lowered his voice and muttered to Shao Yun and Ying.
"What do you think? Should we take the initiative to say hello to the person next to us? After all, there aren't many people around right now, and our seats are so close to each other. It would feel weird and awkward if we don't say anything..."
Hearing this, Ying pushed this difficult social task onto Paimon.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Paimon..."
Paimon stared at Ying with eyes wide open, a look of disbelief on his face, and muttered: "Me? Oh, come on... How can this be!"
But despite his complaints, Paimon was actually quite willing to try to communicate with others.
Shao Yun casually glanced at Virat beside him and found that the other party was also looking him up and down with a scrutinizing gaze.
The moment their eyes met, an invisible tacit understanding flowed in the air.
Shao Yun said softly to Ying and Paimeng beside him, "Ying, Paimeng, please go buy me some popcorn and bring some drinks. Thank you for your help."
His words successfully interrupted Paimon, who had just organized his words and was about to speak.
Paimeng was stunned for a moment, then responded in confusion: "But Shao Yun, it seems that eating is forbidden in the courtroom! Didn't Ou Feini specifically remind us when we were on the boat before?"
Shao Yun smiled slightly when he heard this, and took out a small bag of heavy Mora without any hurry. After shaking it in his hand, he said: "She was talking about a trial, not a magic show!"
"After the show, we can take the garbage out of the courtroom. It won't cause any adverse effects."
After hearing this explanation, Paimon hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Villette who was sitting next to him.
Then, Paimeng turned around and said to Shao Yun: "Okay, then the negotiation will be left to you, Shao Yun. Don't get too excited..."
……
Ying and Paimon took Mora and left temporarily to buy drinks.
After the two of them had completely left, Villette slowly spoke, with a hint of appreciation in her tone.
"I have to say, you are very smart. Just by exchanging glances, you can tell that I have something to tell you."
Shao Yun did not respond to him, but stretched out his right hand and introduced himself softly: "Shao Yun."
Seeing this, Villette politely stretched out his right hand, shook hands tightly with Shao Yun, and gave his name concisely and clearly.
"That Villette."
As the handshake ended, Shao Yun leaned back nonchalantly, his whole body leaning casually and comfortably on the soft sofa seat.
"Well, it looks like our meeting is off to a good start."
When Villette heard Shao Yun mention that their conversation had started off well, he seized the opportunity.
"Welcome to Fontaine."
When Shao Yun heard Villette's welcome, all the things that happened in Hailu Port yesterday instantly emerged in his mind, and he asked the other party sarcastically.
"Oh? Really? But your way of welcoming is quite unique."
At this moment, in the VIP seats above the opera house, Funina was sitting quietly.
She seemed calm and composed, but in fact her heart was as turbulent as the ocean.
"Ah! What's going on? Did he know my itinerary and come to trouble me? Am I going to enter Mellow Petersburg now?"
While Funina was thinking secretly in her heart, she was nervously watching the communication between Shao Yun and Villette below.
"I hope he doesn't see me. I hope he doesn't see me!"
……
At this moment, Shao Yun noticed an extremely panicked gaze constantly scanning him.
He felt puzzled and slowly turned his head to look at the VIP seats high up.
When Funina, who was sitting in the VIP seat, saw Shao Yun suddenly turn around, her heart instantly rose to her throat.
"Oh my God! Did he glance at me just now? That should be right! Oh my God, he actually noticed me!"
Almost in the next second, Shao Yun showed a meaningful smile to Funina in the VIP seat.
Funina watched with her own eyes and saw that Shao Yun was smiling at her, and she was immediately frightened.
"Oh my God! He actually smiled at me just now! This is terrible. Is he planning to attack me?"
"But, I just saw that Villette was communicating with him quite harmoniously! How could this happen?"
……
On the other side, hearing Shao Yun's words, Villette expressed his apologies calmly.
"Regarding what happened in Hailu Port yesterday, Ms. Funina has caused you and your companions 'offense'. On my own behalf, I would like to express my most sincere apologies to you..."
Navillatte deliberately pronounced the word "offense" very clearly and with an emphasis, instead of using the word "discrimination", obviously wanting to test Shao Yun's attitude and reaction to the matter.
Shao Yun also didn't like those who liked to nitpick. Of course, there was one exception, except for that devil, he really didn't care about these.
Anyone else, except Ying and Paimeng, who dared to quibble with him and play word games, was simply asking for too much luck.
Shao Yun didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point, asking, "Let's not waste any more time and get straight to the point. How are you going to compensate us?"
Seeing Shao Yun's straightforwardness, Villette stopped being polite and responded straightforwardly: "Ms. Funina will apologize to you solemnly. We have no intention of becoming your enemy."
Listening to the "compensation" offered by Villette, Shao Yun pondered for a moment.
I don’t lack money, what I need is an attitude and emotional value!
After thinking for a moment, Shao Yun said, "Well, it seems that we have reached a preliminary consensus..."
