Chapter 380 Reception

The palm trees outside the balcony rustled in the evening breeze. The wide platform made of marble was covered with a velvet carpet. Someone stepped on it with bare feet. He was only wearing a casual robe, his chest was open, and light red wine was in the cup. It was churning, but the wine glass didn't sway at all. The man's face was printed on the wall of the glass, and his eyes exuded a faint blue light.

"Sir, Miss Violet hopes that we can help her rebuild the team. In return, she will..."

In the room behind the man, an old man wearing a butler's uniform was reporting on the recent situation.

"Future? I've heard too many promises like this. It's meaningless. Go tell her. If you want me to help, there's only one way for her to agree to the engagement with me. As long as she becomes my wife, of course I will give her all her support." Try to help her."

As he casually ordered, the man's eyes never left the wine glass in his hand. To be precise, it was the strange dark blue ring on the index finger of his right hand. Occasionally, he looked at the liquid in the glass and changed it according to his own wishes, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face. With a look on his face, he said in a deep voice,

"I always thought that to do this kind of thing, you need a lot of time to practice, or to drink those weird potions, to reach this level. I didn't expect that you only need a small ring to do it. It's really magical. strength."

The butler did not stay in the house. After receiving the reply, he turned around and prepared to leave. Instead, there was a figure appearing in the shadows of the house. He just stood there, still a few steps away from the Earl of Oatland, feeling a salty and wet breath. The sea breeze blew suddenly in the room, and the damp and sticky feeling made the housekeeper who had just walked to the door look back involuntarily, and then quickly retracted his gaze. He didn't want to pay too much attention to that weird person. .

"This is just an imitation. My Lord Sir, are you satisfied with this low-level energy manipulation?"

Something seemed to be moving under the dark hood, and his voice was hoarse and broken.

"What is stored in the Searing Box is the real gift of Poseidon. With it, you can instantly possess the power of Poseidon!"

"Help me get the Searing Box, and I can give you whatever you want!"

Putting the wine glass on the edge of the balcony, he turned his mind and saw that the wine condensed into a line of water and flowed into his mouth. The count closed his eyes intoxicated, raised his head, and clenched his hands into fists.

The wine didn't taste that good. What he enjoyed was an unparalleled sense of power and control, which made him more intoxicated than any fine wine!

It's not enough, just like the guy said, he needs more power.

At this moment, the door was opened again, and someone came in with a weapon on his waist.

The blond hair was draped over his shoulders, and his strong and well-proportioned body had clearly defined muscles as he moved. The man glanced at the situation in the room, showing undisguised disgust at the strange person standing in the hall, raising his hand to cover his nose, and moved forward. A few steps later he said loudly: "Sir, the new president of the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce has arrived."

"We're finally here, France, bring a few people with you, you have to help me get the treasure that belongs to me!"

The knight looked far away at the door of the manor, where two people had just entered, so he couldn't wait to shout.

"This is it, it's too luxurious."

At the entrance of the manor, Zhu Jue looked around at the spacious manor in front of him. He originally thought that the Earl of Oatland's reception would be in the hall on the second or third floor of a certain house. When he found the seat on the invitation, he Only then did I discover that this place was actually a small manor castle.

"Yes, the Count of Oatland is the highest-ranking nobleman here in Dilas Harbor, so we must try our best to ensure that there is no conflict with him, otherwise the Chamber of Commerce's business will be greatly affected."

As mentioned before, going against the nobles in the dreamland will undoubtedly make you uncomfortable, let alone such a noble noble at the earl level.

"Whether there will be a conflict depends on him. In fact, he has already taken action, hasn't he? Sending a guard to search the house is not a friendly signal."

Lowering his head and stretching out his clothes, Zhu Jue crossed the gate, walked a few steps inside and suddenly stopped, took a step back to Lisanna's side, leaned closer and asked in a low voice,

"If I accidentally kill that guy, no one will know. Will I be suspected?"

"ah?"

Lisanna really didn't know how to answer Zhu Jue's question.

Killed an earl by accident.

How careless do you have to be?

"Sir, are you the president of the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce?"

Before Lisanna could say anything else, someone in butler clothes came over and asked.

"Yes, I am the new president of the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce. What can I do?"

"The Earl of Oatland hopes to meet you before the cocktail party begins. Please come with me."

Without any intention of asking for advice, the butler turned around and led the way after speaking, as if he had determined that Zhu Jue did not dare to disobey the earl.

Because of this, he didn't see the twinkling light in Zhu Jue's eyes when he picked off a green plant leaf behind him.

"Are you sure you didn't offend the earl in any way before today?"

After tearing the leaves apart along the veins, Zhu Jue deliberately slowed down and walked with Lisanna.

The other party's attitude was clearly looking for trouble. Zhu Jue didn't know much about the situation here, so he could only ask Lisanna.

"Our business has no conflict with the Earl of Alterland. Maybe he wants to buy our president. The situation is not right. As the Earl of Alterland, if it is the possibility I just mentioned, he can definitely Sending an agent, there is no need to put on such a posture, it should be something else.”

Lisanna imagined a possibility, but after thinking about it, she denied it.

This time Zhu Jue did not answer Lisanna's words, remained silent, and followed the housekeeper all the way deep into the manor.

On the way, I happened to pass by the reception venue. It was not inside the house, but on the open-air lawn. The tables and chairs were all ready, and there were many guests coming and going. They each took the items on the table and chatted in groups. .

"Who is that gentleman? He seems to be a stranger."

The girl sitting on the exquisite bench looked at the people passing by not far away, her delicate and fair face now showing a hint of paleness.

"It should be someone from Dilas Harbor. You have just arrived here not long ago, so naturally you don't know him."

The old man beside the girl bowed and said softly.

"Grandpa Moro, I have seen a lot of big shots at Dilas Harbor in the past few days, but I am certain that I have never seen him. Even at a cocktail party, Mr. Butler can lead him personally. Look in this direction. Obviously he is going to see Jazz, such a character is not simple."

After taking a sip of the fruit wine, the girl looked at Zhu Jue and Lisanna who were walking away, with some expectation in her eyes.

PS: The fox has his own little Fengling~~~ I have been busy these two days to give it a good environment and fulfilled my long-cherished wish. Hehe, normal updates will resume tomorrow.
