Chapter 87 I Know the Way(2/6)

Snapped!

Glover stretched out his hand from the driver's seat and slapped him with an expressionless face, slapping Conmuto back, who was so lost in thought that he forgot about his business (it also woke up Thales, who was wide-eyed).

"Sorry, cough, cough," Conmuto said awkwardly, touching the sore back of his head:

"I've been here - of course for official business - a few times. It just opened in the afternoon, and it's even more lively in the evening..."

"Second-class escort officer, Konmuto," Glover said coldly, and moved to the car window to block a beautiful young lady who was winking tenderly at Thales on the second floor:

"Your Highness still has something to do."

"Of course, of course..."

Conmuto apologized and turned his head to look at a few "local fellows" who gathered around him shyly when the carriage slowed down:

"No, we don't need a tour guide, we don't need an introduction, let alone... Hey! Don't pull my reins! Okay, take the money and stop bothering us!"

The escort officer sent these hospitable "local companions" away angrily.

Obviously, at this point, Commuto didn't lie, he was indeed not good at such scenes.

The carriage drove forward for a while again, turned a few corners, and passed a group of young nobles who were full of blood and were commenting on different girls and beauties.

Look at them, they are so confident, frivolous and comfortable.

Thales said to himself silently.

Not like myself.

Although he is young, he is already burdened with heavy pressure on his shoulders and restrained all over his body.

The twilight energy is deep inside.

The young man smiled bitterly to himself.

They drove out of the busy area, and Commuto stopped the carriage and pointed to the other end of the street:

"Look, that's 'One Night's Encounter'. It's located at the front of the core area of ​​Hongfang Street. It's in a good location."

Thales stuck his head out.

What appeared in the far end of his sight was a luxurious and majestic house filled with people coming and going.

The brokers outside the house were flattering and enthusiastic, and the madams on the steps were waving handkerchiefs and smiling happily.

Not to mention the beauties at the windows and balconies, they are so charming and blooming.

That's the...club opened by Belicia?

A one-night affair?

But for some reason, the young man felt that it looked strangely familiar, yet a little strange at the same time.

"Something new," Glover frowned and observed the appearance of the building of "One Night's Encounter" and expressed his doubts:

"It doesn't fit in with the surroundings."

Conmuto sent away another broker who wanted to introduce the business. When he heard this, his eyes lit up:

"Of course, it was rebuilt on the ruins of an old card room."

The former vigilance officer was enthusiastic:

"One night six years ago, two gangsters competed for the protection rights of Hongfang Street, and they went crazy here - those sons of bitches even moved out of the Eternal Oil, and the explosion made the general defense officer of the royal capital...

Alarmed."

Thales' heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

He looked at the newly built clubhouse and compared it with the intersections around it, slowly confirming his memory.

No.

Six years ago, it was not the explosion caused by Everlasting Oil that allowed this house to be rebuilt.

He supported the car wall and told himself silently.

no.

Conmuto noticed that His Highness the Prince had an unusual look on his face, and hesitantly said:

"Before we get out of the car, may I ask what we are here for, Your Highness?"

"You can't really come here... to find a woman?"

Glover looked at the surrounding situation vigilantly, but his ears subconsciously turned towards Thales, obviously also wanting to know the answer.

"of course not."

Thales smiled mysteriously:

"I just need to confirm something, something that doesn't need to be spread out."

"Even to Marius."

"Do you understand?"

The prince looked seriously at Glover in the carriage and Conmuto in the driver's seat.

Maybe it was due to their status, or maybe it was the compelling look in their eyes. The two of them looked at each other and finally nodded in unison.

"Okay, you are the master, I have no right to comment. But if someone knows about our coming to Hongfang Street..."

"Jian, believe me," Thales said helplessly to Conmuto:

"You're not the first to worry about this."

"And I've been lectured about it all day."

Conmuto hesitated again and again, but he still buried the words "Then you haven't learned your lesson?" in his heart.

He jumped out of the driver's seat, opened the car door for Thales, and concentrated on the promising task of "accompanying the prince to run away from home to have fun".

"No."

Glover reached out in time and held down Thales who was about to get out of the car.

"You can't go so directly. It's too obvious, both for His Highness's age and our temperament."

The zombie looked warily at the people coming and going on the street:

"People will recognize it..."

Conmuto raised his eyebrows and put away his "I am the guard officer" expression:

"Oh, they already recognized it."

Thales was confused for a while, and Glover looked at him.

The former security officer pointed to the street with a accustomed expression:

"I'm not talking about His Highness's identity... but this is Hongfang Street. Everyone along the way, whether it is a street beggar or a club doorman, a carriage master or a pastry shop helper, they have made a living here on Hongfang Street.

It's been a long time, and I have a sharp and unique vision. I have long recognized that this is a carriage belonging to a wealthy family."

Glover looked solemn and pondered silently.

But Conmuto changed the topic and said freely:

"But don't worry too much. Many nobles and officials' children will come here to have fun. Of course, it will be more lively at night... In fact, I bet that Guardsman Doyle must be more familiar with this place."

Thales exhaled: It would be great if Doyle hadn't been whipped.

Conmuto tried his best to dispel the two people's worries, but Glover still had a vigilant look on his face and did not relax at all.

It seemed that after entering Hongfang Street, he turned into a suspicious beast.

Thales looked at their expressions, raised his eyebrows and nodded:

"Okay, but we really might as well keep a low profile."

The prince poked his head out of the carriage and pointed at the "One Night Encounter" diagonally across the street:

"When we go in, can we not cross the main road or take the main entrance, for example," Thales looked at the bustling streets filled with customers:

"Take the back door?"

Conmuto scratched his chin:

"Theoretically, we can go around to Xiacheng District, enter Hongfang Street from another direction, and then take the back door to avoid the flow of people, but I strongly recommend not to do this."

Downtown area.

Thales frowned, while Glover looked suspicious.

"Although the security of Xihuan District and Xiacheng District are both under the responsibility of the Xicheng Police Department, with all due respect, their authority only extends to Hongfang Street. Among the five police departments in Yongxing City, Xicheng City has always been the worst.

There are scum collaborating all over the place, and every year a few corrupt police officers and patrol members are found out."

Conmuto showed disgust and disdain:

"Especially the lower city area - I don't doubt our ability to protect His Highness, but that place is unsafe and can easily cause trouble."

At this moment, Glover suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashed, and he pierced the outside of the car.
