Madeline's pretty eyebrows frowned slightly, and she emphasized the word 'friend'. She knew how these people behaved, and she might be implicated in Downton because of her rejection of their pursuit.
The man with a rose brooch on his chest nodded reservedly, in a gentlemanly manner, but his companion lost his temper and asked bluntly, "Commoner?"
"Are you in charge?"
The other party's condescending and scrutinizing gaze made Downton very angry. He was despised by the nobles at the port yesterday and was assassinated again in the evening. He was already suffocating, so his tone was not good.
"Haha, look, everyone, this guy is so angry." The young man with triangular eyes deliberately amplified his voice and joked, "A civilian is a civilian, and he has no self-cultivation at all. He is just a civilian, and we don't care. Why are you anxious?
"
There was laughter all around. Some nobles had a natural sense of superiority over the common people.
"Watch your wording. I say it again, no matter what his identity is, he is my friend!"
Madeline's tone darkened and she glared fiercely.
The aura of this royal sister was so powerful, like a furious female dragon, that a cold sweat broke out on Triangle Eye's back.
"Thank you."
Seeing Madeline's sincere defense, Downton smiled. She had a good character, otherwise Elaine wouldn't talk about her often.
"This is a misunderstanding."
The man tried to smooth things over, but he never let Triangle Eyes apologize to Downton, because he didn't deserve it.
Downton sneered. If he wasn't worried about Madeline's difficulty, he would definitely cause a big conflict and take the opportunity to kill this triangular-eyed guy. Seeing that this guy is dressed like a little nobleman. Just kill him. Don't use Andrea's trump card.
, he can handle it himself.
"He's just a commoner who relies on his own power, why are he so arrogant?" Triangle Eyes said with disdain. He wasn't pursuing Madeleine anyway, so what if he offended her?
"Miss Madeleine, are you free at noon? I would like to invite you to dinner?" The man extended the invitation with a bright smile.
"Sorry, I don't have time." Madeline refused impatiently, took Downton's arm and walked away, her expression full of expectation and excitement, "Do you have any more scripts? You don't have to ask for too much, as long as you meet the requirements.
The level of "Romeo and Juliet" is enough, give me five or six!"
Downton is dumbfounded. It is one of the four famous tragedies in the world of dreams. There are only a handful of classic works of the same level, and the female leader actually plans to wholesale them.
"I'll give you money, 10,000 gold coins for a script." Madeleine stared at Downton, pleading with her eyes, "Okay, 20,000 gold coins. This is already the highest remuneration in the screenwriting world. I have to live frugally for a long time to earn it back.
"
"Feel sorry!"
Downton had watched many classic operas in his dreams. It was still vivid in his mind when he recalled them, but he didn't know if there were any hidden dangers in writing them down.
"Why? You dislike the lack of money? How about fifty thousand gold coins?" Madeleine took a bite and offered a sky-high price. For the future of the opera troupe, she risked her life.
"It's not about money."
Seeing that Downton still refused, Madeleine was surprised. Isn't this boy a postman? I heard that he never even went to school. He worked hard every day in the wind and sun to earn living expenses for his sister. Judging from his current appearance, he should be
I have made some money, but I shouldn't look down on fifty thousand gold coins. That is enough wealth for a family of four to live a prosperous life for ten years.
Elaine is a girl who doesn't like to show off. She never told Madeline that her brother was rich. Sister Yu didn't stay in Venisha Town for a long time, so she didn't know that Downton made a fortune in the secret realm. Even the first element
Got them all.
"Do you want my body?"
Madeleine muttered, it's not that there are screenwriters who covet her beauty and use her body as a bargaining chip to write scripts, but all the playwrights who dare to say this have their limbs broken by the powerful sister, even if they have magical powers
After treatment, I can only spend the rest of my life in bed.
"Sorry, I really have something to hide." Downton left quickly, "I still have some things to talk about later."
"Well, it's probably not for my body."
Madeline looked at Downton's back and fell into deep thought, wondering how to impress him. The other person's eyes were very clear and he was not interested in her at all.
"Why are you running away? Why don't you take the opportunity to ask about the origin of the ring?" Homer was puzzled.
"She wants the script."
Downton argued.
"Then give it to her. Anyway, no one in this world knows that it's something in your dream?" Homer said depressedly, "Besides, it's your dream, so naturally it's your thing, so what are you afraid of?"
"Yes, what am I afraid of? There is no Shakespeare in this world."
Downton slapped his forehead. After all, he is still an upright young man who doesn't like to get something for nothing. Because he likes literature, he is not an ignorant waste, so he knows the value of those operas and the reputation they will bring.
Because of this, he dared not reveal it casually.
"Madeline is a leader with integrity. I just heard her announcement. The screenwriter's name is Downton. They have not appropriated the fruits of your labor. This kind of leader is rare."
Homer was right, Elaine provided the story, everything in the opera was organized and arranged by Madeleine, and if she put her name on it, no one would be able to make irresponsible remarks.
"Okay." Downton compromised, then fell into new confusion, "You said she knows my ring? It's impossible, my mother should be just a commoner."
"That's not necessarily true. Did you know that your behavior sometimes reveals a noble temperament, especially when you are eating? You are very gentle." Homer explained, "So maybe your mother is a noble!
"
"So what? Her title can't be greater than that of a duke, right?"
Downton didn't care anymore. Being a Duke was a goal that many people could not achieve in their lifetime, but he had achieved it at the age of seventeen, and he might even climb higher in the future.
"What if you are the prince born to a princess in trouble?"
Homer teased.
"How can it be?"
Downton laughed it off. His mother did always teach him etiquette when he was a child. But as the family became more and more difficult, she focused more on making money to support the family. As for herself, these etiquettes were enough to deal with some small nobles. But let go
It's not enough to look good in front of the rich and nobles.
"That Madeleine is just the female leader of a third-rate opera troupe, why don't you just force yourself to do it? As for the gentlemanly demeanor?" He stared at Downton's back with his triangular eyes, his voice resentful.
"There are many people pursuing her, including several marquis heirs, and there are several big shots on this ship. I'm worried that there will be big trouble. Otherwise, she would have been forced to do so."
The man with the rose brooch cares about the family's reputation, and is also worried about forcing Madeleine into the arms of another man, otherwise he would have used brute force to get her into bed if he were in another place.
"By the way, don't cause trouble for that boy again."
The Brooch Man reminded his companion and went to pester Madeleine again.
Triangle Eyes promised, and when Downton reached a position that was out of sight, he gathered a few friends and immediately chased after him, "You dare to choke on me. I won't feel good if I don't beat you up."
The cruise ship cut through the waves and set sail. The waves hit the bow of the ship and broke instantly, reflecting the summer sunshine and shining like pearls.
"Hey, civilians. You're in a good mood. You're actually here to enjoy the scenery!"
A young noble raised his feet and put his arms on the railing. But the other man avoided it as if he had back eyes.
"Tsk, you still dare to hide? Do you believe that I will throw you down to feed the sharks?"
Triangle eyes terrorize Downton.
Downton turned around, leaned against the railing, and put his arms on it. He had already noticed these guys when they came over.
The young man who had not kicked Downton just now raised his leg again.
Downton moved faster than him. He raised his right leg and stepped directly on the bone of his calf, followed by a kick towards his lower abdomen.
Downton was wearing thick-soled military boots, and he used a lot of force. The young man was like a broken sandbag, his whole body fell forward and he fell straight on the deck.
boom!
First there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, followed by the young man's shrill scream, which shocked all the passengers around him to look over.
"How dare you hit a nobleman and you don't want to live anymore?" Triangle Eyes scolded, "Kneel down and admit your mistake, or I will kill you."
Downton's answer was simple. He pointed his middle finger and said, "Get away as far as you want, and don't disturb me from enjoying the scenery."
There were nobles around, and the Triangle Eyes guys were reprimanded by the common people. They were completely humiliated. They rushed forward in shame and anger, wanting to kill Downton to vent their anger.
"Beat him to death!"
Some nobles booed.
Downton smiled slightly, with eight white teeth exposed, and the sun was shining brightly. Not only was the noble lady who had seduced him with fan language just now dazzled, but also some hungry noble ladies were moved.
Downton couldn't even use his hands. He swung his right leg like a steel whip. With a few bangs and bangs, all these young men fell out, groaning and unable to get up.
"Hurry up and call the guards. This guy is a liar and intends to attack the nobles. Catch him quickly."
Seeing that he could not defeat Downton, Triangle Eyes immediately began to play dirty tricks. As long as he was a commoner, he was destined to be eaten to death by him.
"civilian?"
Some nobles showed disgusted expressions. In their opinion, traveling on the same boat as common people was an insult, and their aura of lowliness would be infected by them.
The Lady Atoka is a luxury cruise ship that belongs to the docking company of the Geese family. Because the passengers are all nobles, the defense force is naturally strong. Otherwise, if it is hijacked by pirates, not to mention the ransom, the family's face will be lost.
In less than a minute, a group of fully armed guards appeared on the deck and immediately surrounded them. The nobles felt that there was no danger, so they came over and watched curiously.
"Catch him quickly, he is a civilian liar."
Triangle Eyes pronounced the word "civilian" very seriously, because on the ship, it was a serious crime for him to step onto the deck.
"Who are you? What is your identity?"
The captain of the guard did not make any judgment based on the accusation of triangular eyes. Instead, he questioned Downton. Of course, the guards all had weapons and weapons in hand and were ready to subdue him at any time. (To be continued...)
