Don't confiscate my citizenship

In the atrium hall on the third floor with a wide view, wood and stone full of natural life are intertwined, complementing the surrounding dark furniture decoration style, making it quiet and elegant.

In the meeting area located on one side of the hall, a luxurious sofa and a low coffee table are accompanied by the soft light of several floor lamps. It seems that time has become lazy here, and it is full of an indescribable sense of harmony.

At this moment, the three guests sitting on the sofa are all descendants of powerful people in the Hutton Kingdom.

They are waiting here quietly, like the most distinguished guests in the high-stage box of a concert. Even just sitting there, they have an unusual aura.

"Your Highness Ainol, Miss Hyperion, Miss Sophia, it turns out that the friends that Lan Qi cherishes most are you."

Lawrence bowed slightly and politely.

Obviously Lawrence knew regular customers such as Prince Ainol, and also knew Duke Milaya's daughter.

Lawrence was not surprised that Lan Qi knew these noble students from Icerita College.

However.

Lawrence couldn't help feeling that there was something unusual in the atmosphere.

Prince Ainol, his expression was filled with excitement and his eyes were shining with anticipation.

As for Hyperion, who was sitting on the single sofa on the left, she lowered her head and stared nervously at the toes of her shoes.

Countess Sophia seemed to have fallen into a dream and was still in a daze.

None of the three seemed to be on the same channel.

At this time, Hyperion was the only one who was awake.

Realizing that Lan Qi had finally arrived, she looked up at Lan Qi and knew that she couldn't ask any questions next. She just had to take Lan Qi out of this place as soon as possible!

But.

Before Hyperion's action had begun, Prince Einor had already stood up from the sofa impatiently, walked quickly over and gave Lan Qi a big hug, and grabbed Lan Qi's shoulders and asked eagerly:

"My dear friend! What level have you been rated at?"

Lan Qi didn't have time to speak.

Vice President Lawrence on the side had already said to Ainol with a smile:

"Your Highness, you are indeed very discerning and have made many good connections. Our Kingdom of Hutton is about to add another platinum-level card maker."

"..."

Suddenly, Hyperion's face turned pale.

If Lan Qi reaches the silver level today, it won't be a big problem. Sophia will be a little embarrassed at most.

If it was gold level, Hyperion would definitely be very happy, and then find a way to comfort Sophia, and the problem would not be that serious.

but now.

Platinum level.

Friends, this is a dead end.

Sophia felt like she was being roasted on a fire, and Hyperion felt helpless even if she wanted to save her.

"Platinum level..."

After Sophia heard Lawrence's words, she looked at Lan Qi blankly.

The young man who seemed to be sitting opposite her in the morning seemed to have become extremely distant in an instant, and even his shadow was stretched very long by the light on the floor lamp.

At this moment, Sophia recalled what she said in front of Ainol, "I'm 17 years old and already a silver-level card maker. What about you?", and she felt that her cheeks were gradually getting hot uncontrollably.

Standing there now was a 16-year-old platinum-level card maker, which was beyond her reach.

Sophia's shoulders were shaking slightly, and her red eyes were already misty.

At this moment, she only felt that the words she had said in the morning were like a curse, lingering in her ears over and over again, making her panic and unable to get rid of it.

She wanted so badly to find a hole in the ground, crawl into it, and escape from everything in front of her.

"Suo, Sophia, my father said that card making is three points to seven points of strength, and the remaining ninety points depends on the mood of the goddess..."

Hyperion looked at Sophia, feeling very anxious. She raised her hand slightly and tried to touch Sophia, but she was afraid that she would break at the touch, so she didn't dare to touch her arm.

"The orange epic...can't be made just by luck and performance..."

Sophia's voice was trembling, as if tears would overflow from her eyes and fall down at any time.

She herself also knows better that if she is not strong enough, even if all other factors are taken into account, she will not be able to make a card of this level.

In other words, Ainol's vision was actually right, and he was far inferior to the boy he was optimistic about.

She also clearly realized that when it came to painting, her level was like a baby compared to Lan Qi.

"..."

Hyperion felt that Sophia's eyes could no longer hold back tears, and she didn't dare to stimulate her anymore.

"Huberlian, you...have you known about his card making and painting skills for a long time?"

Sophia finally seemed to understand why Hyperion had been so uneasy.

"No, Sophia, I really didn't know he could be so outrageous..."

Hyperion said timidly.

This made Sophia tremble even more.

Sophia wanted to hold back her tears, but the shame in her heart that was about to kill her was indescribable, because she could not take back what she said in front of Enol.

Her cheeks became redder and redder, and her tears kept falling out like broken beads.

Finally, Sophia finally looked directly at Lan Qi.

Lan Qi's expression was still so gentle, with a little worry, as if he didn't have any bad intentions in his heart.

Such compassion is more hurtful than ridicule.

"Wow wow wow..."

Sofia cried uncontrollably and stood up from the sofa and ran away.

Ainol's face was full of confusion. He looked at Lanqi in front of him, and then looked at Sophia's back getting further and further away.

"Classmate Lanqi, congratulations, I..."

With his brain short-circuited and at a loss, Ainol could only congratulate Lan Qi hesitantly.

"Why are you congratulating me? Run over and catch up with her!"

Lan Qi patted Ainol several times.

"Oooh!"

Prince Ainol reacted, quickly agreed, and chased after Sophia in the direction she ran away.

Just like this, Vice President Lawrence had no idea what was going on.

Hyperion covered her eyes with her hands and lowered her head, feeling that the goddess was watching them both.

Lan Qi breathed a sigh of relief and returned to Hyperion, looking at her with a relieved and helpless smile:

"Huberlian, Sophia should never look at you in a way that bothers you again."

Hyperion was shocked when she heard this, and started to recall every scene from when she came to the Card Creators Association this morning.

"You...you didn't do it on purpose just to protect me, right?"

she asked in a trembling voice.

"Eh? What I mean is that Sofia and Enol conveyed their feelings to each other, so naturally they won't misunderstand other people in the future."

Lan Qi said as if he was worried that he had done something bad with good intentions.

"...?"

Hearing Lan Qi's voice, Hyperion was stunned for a long time.

She could no longer figure out whether Lan Qi was a black man, a white man, or a chuanzi.

If Lan Qi is cheating now, she has already been cheated.

She couldn't help but remove her hand, opened her eyes and looked at Lan Qi's expression.

His emerald green pupils were still as gentle and clear as ever, and his expression was a little naturally confused.

Hyperion felt a chill running through her body.

If Lan Qi was secretly smiling, she really felt okay.

But now just looking at Lan Qi's blank and pure expression, she felt like she had eaten a matcha cookie!

"Lan Qi, it's a good thing you're not a girl, otherwise it would be really scary..."

Hyperion now has no idea whether Ranchi is natural or green tea.

No wonder this guy has no fear of Shura Field.

It turns out that he himself is the one at the top of the food chain! !
