Alien Relic Hunter

The eyes of everyone in the banquet hall were once again focused on Ke Lan. To these young masters and ladies, the scene just now was like a top action movie... except this time, they were not sitting on a comfortable sofa. The audience is a group of cannon fodder actors who may belch at any time in the film...

"Why are you looking at me? Why don't you hurry up and save people?" Ke Lan's words made the people who were stunned to realize that those killed by the heavy-armored rhinoceros shovel actually only accounted for one of the casualties. A very small part of the victims, but the vast majority of the injured and dead, came from the crowd's pushing and trampling.

Many people still had expressions on their faces as if they had just woken up from a dream. It was not until the hotel security and medical staff rushed into the banquet hall that rescue work could be carried out.

The brief silence before disappeared, replaced by various voices of yelling and questioning - of course, this time, their target was not Ke Lan.

There were also people who were kneeling on the ground and sobbing in front of the bloody corpse... But Ke Lan noticed that the heels of the crying girl's high heels were stained with blood and minced meat, and the corpse in front of her was covered in blood. There are several bloody holes made by the heels...

Ke Lan was a little confused for a moment: Is this woman in pain because of the death of her lover, or is she afraid of some "responsibility" she is about to bear?

After all, judging from the wounds, the unlucky guy was probably trampled to death by her...

Ke Lan lowered his head and checked his condition: he was not injured at all, but the formal suit Zofia customized for her was quite miserable. The clothes and pants were scratched and torn everywhere. The opening was stained with a lot of blood and wine, and it was obvious that it could no longer be worn.

He shook his head sadly and said to himself: "It's a pity that such expensive clothes were reimbursed after being worn for less than an hour..."

"If you like it, I can have someone make a few more sets for you and wear them in rotation. It's no problem if you don't wear the same outfit for a month." Zofia said. She had already walked behind Ke Lan, while Lu Che stood behind him. Not far away, he was holding a mobile phone and talking quickly to the person on the other end of the phone.

"Forget it, this kind of formal dress looks good, but to be honest, the comfort is really not as good as my own clothes... Besides, I am always worried about wearing such expensive clothes, for fear of scratching somewhere, no Feel free." Ke Lan refused.

"Whatever you want... Also, I have to remind you that you have been targeted by the Morgan family."

"I knew it..." Ke Lan said helplessly. Although the young master who brought the heavy-armored rhinoceros shovel into the reception was the already dead young master, if he hadn't taken action himself, he would have saved the debtor. As for the gladiators, the heavily armored rhinoceros spade would naturally not trigger a "stress mutation"... and of course this tragedy would not have happened.

What's more, this kind of wealthy family has always defended its shortcomings. There is no way the Morgan family can blame their own people... What's more, the person is dead, so they can't scold them if they want... They will only transfer all their hatred to themselves. .

"Is the Morgan Consortium asking me to pay compensation?" Ke Lan looked around at the messy Empire Banquet Hall. Let alone the entire hotel, the cost of building this banquet hall alone is probably an astronomical sum.

"They won't let you lose money, and they will expressly thank you for what you have done... After all, no one can predict the mutation of monsters. From a factual point of view, it was you who saved the monster in the banquet hall. Children of the aristocratic family." Zofia said softly, "But from today on, the entire Morgan family will regard you as an enemy that must be eradicated. Those secret methods are what you need to be wary of."

"For example...send a killer to assassinate me?"

"Including, but not limited to." Zofia said in a voice that only Ke Lan could hear. She held one of Ke Lan's arms, stretched out her other hand, and used a napkin to help Ke Lan wipe the stains on his face. He saw the blood stains and said, "You'd better strengthen your personal security on weekdays... Or, I suggest you live directly in my house. This is the safest way."

"Isn't it bad to live together before we are officially married?"

"There are many empty rooms in the villa, you can choose whatever you want. As for the public opinion of the outside world... I don't care much, do you care?"

"Well, I think I'd better forget it. At worst, I'll move to the safe house provided by the military. No matter how awesome the Morgan Consortium is, they won't dare to send killers to the military's safe house, right?" Ke Lan Said, it’s not that he doesn’t mind those rumors, but if he lives under the same roof as Zofia, he will always feel like he is being “surveilled” all the time. If those secrets are accidentally leaked, it will be worse than offending. A Morgan family is much more troublesome.

"But you don't have to worry too much. Although you and the Morgan family are at odds with each other, among the people you rescued, there will always be a few families that will offer you olive branches as a symbol of friendship... These big families check and balance each other. The Morgan family may not dare to touch you."

As if to verify what Zofia said, out of the corner of Ke Lan's eye, he saw a white, fat "spherical object" walking towards him.

This man is a fat man, and he is also wearing a white suit. Even his leather shoes are white. The visual effect makes the whole man look more "inflated"... However, there are no wrinkles in this guy's suit, and his hair is white. There was no chaos at all. He must have found a place to hide just now and saw the whole process of Ke Lan trapping and killing the heavy-armored rhinoceros shovel.

"Hello, Miss Zofia. I haven't seen you for a few months, but you are still so bright and charming." The fat man first greeted Zofia with a smile, and then turned his attention to Ke Lan, "You must be Zofia. Miss Ya’s fiancé, Mr. Ke Lan, right?”

As he said that, the fat man bowed to Ke Lan with some difficulty: "Only in my own name, I would like to pay high respect to your heroic behavior just now. Including me, the lives of many people in this banquet hall are yours." Saved.”

Although the fat man said some clichés, at least he didn't reach out to hit the smiling person, and Ke Lan could only give him an awkward but polite smile in return.

"Ah, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself." The fat man stretched out his hand to Ke Lan, "Ye Consortium, Ye Yan."

"Hunting God Hunting Group, Ke Lan."

Different from second-rate consortiums like the Anderson Consortium, the Yip Consortium can definitely be regarded as one of the largest consortiums on the Ark. Even the influence of the Morgan Consortium, the organizer of this reception, is slightly overshadowed by the Yip Consortium. , and there is only one kind of business operated by Ye's consortium - arms.

Especially in the field of military mechas, the Ye's Consortium is almost the only one... Now more than 60% of the companies on the market that produce mechas or mecha accessories are assets of the Ye's Consortium, and the remaining ones Most of the mecha brands will use the technology provided by Ye's - the "Uniform Regulation Standard for Military Mechas in the New Era" was jointly formulated by the Ye's Foundation and the weapons and equipment development branch of the research institute.

And the organizer of the famous Ark Mecha Competition, known as the "New Era World Cup", is the Ye Group.

As soon as the hands between the two loosened, Ye Yan took out a hard card with no pattern or text on it from the inner pocket of his suit, and handed it to Ke Lan with both hands.

"What is this?" Ke Lan asked doubtfully. This thing neither looks like a business card nor an anonymous credit card. If you have to say what it looks like, it does look a bit like a luxury car or something like that. It's a key card for a mansion... But considering Ye Yan's background, could this card be the activation card for a new mecha?

"A VIP card, of course, you can also regard it as an invitation." Ye Yan said, "In one month, the 21st Ark Mecha Competition will begin. With this card, You can freely enter and leave the VIP viewing area, and I have a special thank you gift that I want to give you."

"VIP viewing area?" Although Ke Lan has never purchased a ticket for the Mecha Competition, he has watched every live broadcast of the competition on the Internet. He also knows exactly what a ticket for the VIP viewing area has. How rare - money alone can't buy it. Tickets for the VIP viewing area will not be sold to the outside world at all. Only those with special status will obtain this qualification from special channels.

If Layton knew about this, this guy would probably be so excited that he would break the wrench...

"By the way, can I bring my friend with me?" As soon as Ke Lan finished speaking, he realized something was wrong and quickly changed his words: "There's no point in going there alone. I plan to go with Zofia and some friends from the hunting group. Let’s go together, how many people can this VIP card bring to watch the game at most?”

Despite this, Ke Lan still felt Zofia pinch him gently on his arm.

"There is no limit." Ye Yan shrugged exaggeratedly, "Generally speaking, a VIP invitation can only bring up to five people to the entrance, but this card is different -"

He pointed to the card in Ke Lan's hand and continued: "Actually, this card was originally prepared for me, but even if I don't have this card, they don't dare to block me out - as long as Mr. Ke Lan With this card, you can bring as many people as you want, even if you want to play twice in person, it’s no problem, this card also includes a quota for a participating team.”

"How many places are there for a participating team? Then if you give me this card, wouldn't your team..."

"I didn't organize a team this year. All the good mecha pilots were recruited by my elder brother. I only had a few rotten fish and shrimps left. They were recruited by my elder brother's pilots even for training matches. Four in a row, why should I go to the main game to make myself miserable, so I simply disbanded the team." Ye Yan said happily.

"Then I would like to thank Mr. Ye for your kindness." Ke Lan put away the card - the first impression this fat man gave Ke Lan was pretty good. Coupled with the background of the Ye Group, if he just made a friend, Ke Lan would Lan is still very happy... Moreover, unlike those large consortiums that want to invest in shares or acquire hunting groups, apart from focusing on researching mechas, the Ye's consortium does not have much involvement in other industries, so Ke Lan also I don't think that Ye Yan is trying to win over him for the purpose of hunting down the God Hunting Group.

Another point is that if Ke Lan rejects this invitation and Leiton finds out, I am afraid that this guy will fight against him in minutes.

"It's getting late. I have other arrangements and I have to leave first. I hope Mr. Ke Lan will attend the competition in a month's time."

"Okay, I will definitely go."

Not long after Ye Yan left the banquet hall, the hotel's statistics came out: including the young master of the Morgan family, a total of 26 people died and 67 were injured in this accident, of which 8 were seriously injured and 59 were slightly injured.

However, only 9 people died directly at the hands of the heavy-armored rhinoceros shovel, and the remaining 17 people died due to stampedes. Of the 67 injured, except for one seriously injured person, he was hit by a table thrown away by the heavy-armored rhinoceros shovel. In addition, 66 other people were also injured by pushing and trampling.

To Ke Lan's surprise, the slave gladiator in the cage, the person closest to the heavy-armored rhinoceros shovel, was not dead. This was probably related to the heavy-armored rhinoceros shovel's sensing organ: this kind of insect His eyesight was far less sharp than his hearing, legs and vibration sense organs. At that time, the gladiator had fallen to the ground motionless, and the young master of the Morgan family happened to be close to the cage and spoke loudly, so he had just recovered from the near-death state. Only the heavily armored rhinoceros shovel that came over would select him as the primary target.

To put it this way, this young master’s death was not unjust.

After all, if you don't seek death, you won't die... What's more, he brought this heavy-armored rhinoceros shovel to this reception.

It's a pity that the Morgan family doesn't think so.

During this period of time, many people came over to express their gratitude to Ke Lan. In addition, there were even some eldest ladies and ladies who expressed their gratitude implicitly or explicitly in front of Zofia. Fang Fang asked Ke Lan for his contact information - but before Ke Lan could speak, Zofia refused on his behalf.

"Originally, the young master of the Morgan family wanted to be in the limelight, but now you have all the limelight." Zofia said angrily, "How about it, doesn't it feel good to be the center of attention?"

"It doesn't feel good at all, okay?" Ke Lan said with some depression, "The original purpose of my attending this cocktail party was just to get in touch with the Anderson family, but now I haven't gotten anything done, and instead I've made myself a mess. It's so unjust. no."

"That's what you asked for...Although I can't stand this kind of thing, you are still a little too impulsive..." Zofia said, her eyes suddenly moved elsewhere, "But I have to admit, The way you looked just now was indeed very attractive, no wonder those women were attracted to you."

"I didn't want to look cool. At that time, all I could think about was how to save my life."

"There is a little girl in the corner who has been staring at you for a while, but she seems to be thin-skinned and does not dare to take the initiative to strike up a conversation." Zofia added.

"Oh...then I'll pretend I didn't see it, to avoid embarrassment." Ke Lan scratched his head and said.

"It's just...this little girl is exactly the person you are looking for."

"ha?"

"Heather Anderson, the youngest daughter of Orano Anderson, the current head of the Anderson family."

"Isn't she still in school? Why did she come to this cocktail party?"

"But she has grown up... In addition, although she does not hold a position within the family, she has a very good relationship with her second sister. Being on the line with her is equivalent to being on the line with her second sister... And Her second sister's ability is probably the strongest among the seven children of Orano." Zofia said in Ke Lan's ear, blowing air from her mouth and gently rubbing Ke Lan's ear. An unusual, crispy and itchy feeling immediately made the hairs on the back of Ke Lan's neck stand up.

"By the way...you won't be jealous if I go find her, right?" Ke Lan asked cautiously.

"you guess."
