Chapter 78 Elopement

"You dance really well!"

Kuroro glanced to the left.

"Miss Florence."

"And you're really worried." Florence laughed. "Oh, you have to dance again!"

Kurapika gently tugged on Kuroro's sleeve to warn him, but Kuroro didn't need his warning.

"Ah, or wait a minute," he said, "I haven't danced like this in a long time, and I don't know what my sister thinks, but I can continue in about 10 to 15 minutes."

"Then we should get off the dance floor," Florence reminded.

She approached Kuroro, but to his surprise she went straight to Kurapika and took his arm.

"Ah, I'm really envious," she said to Kurapika, leading him to the giant French windows that led to the terrace: "Your brother is stunning! Tell me, tell me, is he married?"

Kurapika coughed to hide something, whether it was surprise or laughter, Kuroro didn't know, he wanted to hear Kurapika's answer, but a middle-aged man attracted his attention.

"I'm sorry," the man said to Crollo. "For a quiet lady, Florence would be a very passionate girl."

"Not at all," Kuroro said politely. "I find her enthusiasm charming."

"You feel that way because you're not her father," the proud father said with a slight smile, his chest puffing up a little.

"She must have been a temperamental child," agreed the Spider Chief.

He kept looking at the two "ladies" in front of him, and he saw Kurapika gesturing to the floor-to-ceiling windows, and Florence immediately led her guests out of the terrace, followed by Kuroro and Florence's father .They stood right by the glass window, standing aside so that the passage would not be blocked, and when Florence led Kurapika up to a group of young, elegant ladies, they immediately gathered around the boy and chatted excitedly.

"I'm Florence." Florence's father laughed at himself after introducing himself: "I know, I know; to my wife, her husband is nothing special."

Kuroro smiled slightly, then glanced at the other party.

"Isn't that why she loves you so much?"

Florent looked surprised. He cleared his throat and said, "Very well, cough!" He looked at the spider leader and said, "Who are you? A shrewd businessman? You must know how to compliment others."

"I'm afraid it's not something to be praised for," Kurolo said. "I usually do work on art and antiques, but I don't get in front of crowds that often. I'm on vacation." He gestures to Kurora with his head. Pickup's direction: "She wants to see the world before she gets married."

"The Warwater family." Florent commented, "Let me tell you, the only thing I know is the legend from my daughter. I know that your sister is engaged, and you need to stay close. Very disappointed not to be able to dance with you."

"I can come back when the work is done," said Crollo. "I can invite her to dance then, if Ms. Florence throws a similar banquet."

"But you won't," Florent said.

Kuroro smiled slightly, and he asked, "It's possible, why do you think so?"

"I'm a pretty shrewd businessman, and I can tell which promises are false."

"I'll keep that in mind," Kuroro said with a smile.

A few enthusiastic men were walking towards Kurapika, Kuroro frowned, his eyes kept looking at the group around the terrace, those young people should retreat in spite of difficulties, two of them had been arrested not long ago The ladies shooed away, save for a flashy young man with curly brown hair who kept trying to get Kurapika's attention.

"Do you need to interfere?" Florent asked.

"Not yet," Kuroro said. "Right now I'll just keep an eye on them. There's nothing wrong with a man trying to get close to her. If my sister can't work it out, she'll let me know."

"Sounds great," Florent commented.

The young playboy desperately wanted Kurapika's attention, and when he touched Kurapika's arm, Kuroro took a step forward, but the boy dodged it deftly with familiarity, and then smacked his finger hard with his fan.Seeing the scene in front of him, Kuroro frowned, as if he could feel the pain, but Kurapika seemed very proud of it, this feeling was inexplicable, and the spider leader stood there observing the crowd opposite.

"Oh," said Florent, "she and her fan are deadly."

"This is the price he paid for retreating without any difficulty." Kuroro said immediately.

Florent glanced at Kuroro, blinking his eyes as if amused.Kuroro met his gaze, and then they both looked at Kurapika, and there was another knocking sound.

"He's so persistent," Florent commented.

Kuroro frowned. "She can stop him." He assured Florent, "She's not as fragile as she seems."

"Well..." Florent murmured, "I guess it makes your conservation work easier."

"Actually, it's not easy at all." Kuroro said with a sigh.

They watched Kurapika silently for a while, the young nobleman had finally learned not to touch the young "girl" in front of him casually, and he was now convincing Kurapika to tell him his name.Kurapika continued to ignore him, he was really patient, and Kuroro was sure the boy really enjoyed the chance to fan the idiot.

More women began to surround Kurapika, forming a wall between the persistent nobleman and his target.

"I need to ask you," Florent said suddenly, "you're not her brother, am I right?"

Kuroro cursed secretly.

"Feel sorry?"

"I said," repeated Florent, with a pleased look on her face, "you're not her brother."

"What gave you that impression?" asked the Chief Spider carefully, he needed to know what was wrong for Florent to notice.

"Hmm..." Florent whispered softly, as if thinking about how to answer, he finally said, "It's just a hunch."

He looked at Kuroro quietly, observing his face, Kuroro carefully hid the expression on his face, he made himself look very curious, Florent's eyes were very heavy, as if he wanted to spy on the other party Looking deeply at Kuroro as if in his heart.

"Okay," he finally said, speaking very slowly, "I think your behavior makes me think you are not brother and sister." Florent glanced at Chrollo, and then said, "You threw it at her." eyes, especially when those young nobles surrounded her."

"You know I need to protect her reputation," Kuroro said cautiously.

"You can't fool me." Florent said, he shook his head and said, "No brother will look at his sister with your eyes."

Kuroro needed to think, to think very fast, but he was terrified of finding himself not sure exactly what eyes he was looking at Kurapika with.Did he look at him the way he looked at his subordinates?It definitely wouldn't be like looking at the enemy, even when he was in Youkexin City, Kuroro never used a similar look.Or maybe he looks like Kurapika's mentor, because he's using the red eye back as an excuse to teach the boy to be part of the brigade.

Florent suddenly raised a smile: "Ah," he said with a clear smile: "Forbidden love! It's amazing, it's nice to be young."

Kuroro tried not to look dumbfounded: "Excuse me?"

"Oh, you don't have to hide it; it's useless to me. I won't expose you, don't worry, just want to make sure; you eloped, am I right?"

"We didn't." Kuroro said, but Florent immediately interrupted him.

"I told you, there's no need to hide it. So, getting engaged to another man makes you take care of your sister and run away together, right? Or am I wrong?"

Kuroro's head was running very fast, and he said with begging eyes: "Please don't tell other people that our fate is in your hands. And please don't let her know that you found out, she must be very nervous , I don't want to upset her."

"Oh." Florent nodded: "You can rest assured, I will protect your secret for the rest of my life."

The old man got everything wrong, but Kuroro had developed a rapport with Florent and his daughter, which was of great benefit to their mission.Kuroro stood where he was, watching Kurapika pretending to be a young girl from the Warwater family in the distance. The sun on the underground line gradually set, rendering a layer of orange-red color on the horizon, like knocking on the ground. Like a wake-up call, after sunset it is time for the spiders to move out.

Kurapika met Kuroro's gaze, Kuroro looked away, he took the whiskey from the tray held by the passing attendant, he pretended to take a sip of the alcohol in his hand, but for Kurapika It is a hint that "it is not time to act yet".He began to ask Florence for information about his work, or these materials would be useful in the future. Kuroro has been keeping an eye on Kurapika and those suitors who are persistently approaching him.

When the sky turned black, Kuroro thought the time had come, and he quietly put down the wine glass.After a while, Kurapika noticed Kuroro's movements, he said "Excuse me" to the ladies surrounding him, and before he left, he moved closer to Florence and whispered in her ear. whisper.Florence smiled, she nodded, and Kurapika walked over to Kuroro.

"I need a touch-up," Kurapika said, playing his character perfectly: "Can you come with me?"

"Of course, my honorable lady," Kuroro said, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

Kurapika sighed, he acted like a dissatisfied brother teasing his sister, he slightly bent his horns, and Kuroro stretched out his arm to Kurapika.

"My sister." Kuroro said to Florent, "Excuse me."

"Of course, of course," Florent said.

Kuroro left with his "sister". Although he greeted the guests who came to them with a smile, he deftly avoided any topic. After all, Kuroro needed to make them look like ordinary guests.They walked into a quiet corridor on the second floor, and Kuroro followed Kurapika into the large bathroom.

"Ten minutes." He reminded the boy, "You must come back in ten minutes."

"I know." Kurapika said, taking off his wig.

He turned to let Kuroro undo his clothes, and the spider head quickly untied the knots of the corset and shirt, he took a step back and summoned to read, and then took out a bag from the convenience wrap.

Kurapika was only wearing his underwear. He pulled out a T-shirt and baggy jeans from his bag. He put on his clothes, changed his shoes, and finally put on a baseball cap. The brim of the hat perfectly concealed his face. Kurapika was ready After everything is done, take the empty bag for the red eye.

"Be careful," Kuroro said.

"I will," Kurapika assured him. "Climb up for me?"

Kuroro picked up Kurapika, and the boy pushed up a ceiling tile, slipped into a hole in the ceiling and disappeared into the hole.Kuroro hated letting him do it alone, but they agreed it was the best way, after all Kurapika's insistence on getting Red Eye back without hurting anyone else.

When Kurapika left, the spider leader put his clothes back in the convenience wrap, closed his book, stepped out of the bathroom and stood in front of the door, silently counting the time in his mind while waiting for Kurapika's return.

Some of the guests passed by the corridor, and one of them tried to speak to Kuroro, but Kuroro skillfully avoided his subject and let them go.

To pass the time, he imagined Kurapika's actions in his mind.First, Kurapika climbed a few meters on the ceiling, and then entered the third floor of the house, which was not allowed to enter.There, he'll find his way into Florence's private library, which leads to her safe, which Kuroro taught Kurapika to open beforehand, and he's confident enough in the boy's abilities .

Time passed minute by minute, stumbling forward like a snail.Kuroro started looking at his phone, partly because he appeared on the monitor to look like a brother bored waiting for his sister, and partly because he could keep an eye on the time.All of Kuroro's senses are paying attention to the movement outside, he is carefully checking whether there will be a crisis coming, or whether someone will walk up to the third floor and bring danger to Kurapika.

Every movement of a log being pressed down, every sound from the house, even a shadow passing by a wall caught Kuroro's attention and irritated him.Suddenly, the "squeak" sound of the wood being pressed stopped. The sound came from the dance party downstairs, and the shaking shadow on the wall was only caused by the wind blowing the curtains.

Finally, finally -- Kuroro heard (just barely) the sound of Kurapika jumping from the ceiling into the bathroom.After a while, there were two light knocks on the back of the door. Kuroro opened the door and quickly went into the bathroom. When the door was locked, he summoned Kanshu and Kurapika's clothes.

"Got the eye?" Kuroro asked.

"Got it," said Kurapika, and he carefully placed the bag with the red eyes on the counter, and from the way the spider leader saw that the bag did indeed contain eyes.

"Okay." He said as he took off the hat that Kurapika was wearing on his head. "Let's help you dress up again."

Kurapika sighed, but he stepped into the skirt and pulled it up before taking off his pants and t-shirt, Kuroro stopped his movements to check that the tattoos on his body were not blurred, he used a professional human body paint, and the tattoos are still perfectly attached to the boy.Putting on the blouse and corset, Kurapika turned around to let Kuroro tie the knot in the back.

"Ah, it's so tight," Kurapika grumbled, and when the dress was knotted, he said, "Wig."

Kuroro handed the wig to Kurapika, and together they hid his blond hair under the wig.The Spider-Man took a moment to make sure everything was in order, and the two picked up the clothes, hat, and bag with the flaming eyes, and Kuroro put them back in the Great Convenience Wrap again.

As they were walking back downstairs and heading to the ballroom, the alarm bell in the hallway suddenly rang twice.Kuroro cursed in his heart, he never thought that the thief would be discovered so soon.

The long night is long, and what is waiting in front of them will obviously be a long night.
