Chapter 631: Banquet Shock

"Dad, don't speak too absolutely." Little Lucas disagreed with his father's pessimistic view, and his eyes flashed with excitement: "The new police chief James Gordon is a tough guy that everyone praises. I want to bet heavily on him and use the protection money originally used to bribe pirates to support Mr. Gordon in cracking down on crime and cracking down on pirates."

"I believe this is an investment that will pay off well, and more importantly, it is in line with my conscience and philosophy."

"If we can use money to uphold justice, improve public security, and increase total social welfare, why should we use this money to honor pirates and indirectly help the pirates?"

His son's remarks completely angered Lucas Sr.

"Idiot! Don't think that because you went to college and learned some ungrounded theories from textbooks, you are qualified to tell me what to do! My child, you don't understand the real operating rules of this society at all. Your black and white, unreasonable Sophisticated and naive ideas will not only harm yourself, but will also destroy the family business sooner or later!"

Lucas Sr. stood up with a cane.

"I can't allow you to continue making mistakes! Starting from tomorrow, I will take back the management rights of the company!"

"Dad, I'm afraid this won't work." Little Lucas' words also revealed uncontrollable anger, "Your health is very bad and you shouldn't work too hard."

"Boy! Don't think about taking power away from me so easily. I'm going to convene a board of directors and remove you from your position! We'll see!"

"Dad, I might as well tell you frankly that after these three years of reorganization, apart from you, there are no more old guys left on the board of directors. After they retire, the new young directors who come up are all my firm supporters."

"Dad, the era that belongs to you and the elders is over. It's our young people's turn to take the helm of this ship. Why do you have to ask for trouble?"

"Ah? You...beast, how dare you ignore me! You..."

There was a crashing sound in the small living room, which seemed to be the sound of a wine glass being knocked over, and then there was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

Louise stood up, wondering whether to go into the living room and see what was going on.

Before she could make up her mind, Athos, the old housekeeper of the Lucas family, hurried over and pushed open the living room door.

"Master, Master, what happened?"

"Dad has angina!" Little Lucas sat on the ground, hugging his pale father with his eyes closed, "Athos! Get the medicine quickly!"

"Okay, Master!"

The old housekeeper took out the life-saving pills he carried with him, ran quickly into the living room, and fed old Lucas the medicine.

After swallowing two pills, Old Lucas' breathing gradually returned to calmness, but his face was still pale and depressed.

He couldn't listen to a word of his son's apology and consolation.

With the help of the old housekeeper, he stood up, leaned on a cane, and left the banquet hall gloomily and hobblingly, like a defeated rooster.

Little Lucas adjusted his appearance in the mirror, returned to the banquet hall, pretended to be calm, raised his glass, and apologized to all the guests.

"Sorry, my father and I just had a little argument about the company's business policy. I hope it didn't disturb your enjoyment."

"Come, let's have a drink for my father's health!"

The guests, including Louise and the Gordon family, raised their glasses and the atmosphere of the banquet seemed to be lively again.

However, on this long night, the Lucas family's banquet is destined to be troubled and difficult to end well.

A young servant hurried in, a package in his hand.

"Master, a stranger came to visit just now and asked me to hand over this package to you. He said it was a small gift for you and the new police chief Mr. Gordon's family."

"Oh? This is the first time I've encountered such a strange thing. The gift-giving is so mysterious. Let's take it apart and take a look. Maybe there will be a surprise."

Little Lucas took the package and planned to open it.

"Mr. Lucas, please wait!" Louise suddenly stood up, "Can you let me open this gift for you?"

Little Lucas was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "Of course, Miss Quinn, thank you for your work."

With her well-developed perception attributes, Louise had a premonition that this mysterious package might contain evil intentions.

She waved to the guests who were leaning over to join in the fun to stay away. Then she picked up a table knife, cut the bow tied on the package, and gently opened the wrapping paper.

A foul smell immediately emitted.

There were exclamations in the hall.

Inside the package was the corpse of a rat, its open belly already infested with maggots, emitting a suffocating rotten stench.

This scene on the dinner table is really off-putting.

Just when everyone covered their noses and retreated, with disgust on their faces.

The dead mouse suddenly had a magical aura and flew into the air before everyone's eyes, turning into a big crow.

The crow hovered over the restaurant, first making a hoarse quacking laugh, and then uttering human words.

"Little Lucas! Little Lucas! The boss of the 'Blood Anchor Gang' asked me to bring you a message!"

"Do your business well and stay away from the Gordon family to avoid getting into trouble!"

"Quack! Without warning, there will be consequences at your own risk! There will be consequences at your own risk!"

After saying these threatening words, the strange crow flew out of the window and disappeared into the depths of the night.

Affected by this fright, the guests lost interest in attending the ball and stood up to leave one after another. The fundraising dinner ended hastily.

After tonight's turmoil, Commissioner Gordon seemed to realize that his future was not going to be smooth sailing, and he went home with his wife and children in disappointment.

The Gordons' two children seemed quite happy.

They all received a gift from Mr. Lucas.

William got a magic rapier that glowed.

Alice got a big box of toys.

There was another guest who had a great harvest tonight, Louise Quinn.

The news she got at the banquet helped her find the best target to rob the rich and help the poor.

After leaving the Lucas mansion, Louise got on the carriage, changed into her nightgown and put on a black cat mask in the carriage.

"Daniel, drive the carriage home, and don't worry about anything else."

"Okay, miss." The driver said without looking back.

Louise Quinn, disguised as the thief "Black Cat Lady", jumped out of the window silently, and blended into the night in a black dress.

Under the bright moonlight, the masked girl ran across the undulating roofs like a civet cat, and in a blink of an eye she arrived at the neighborhood where the former police chief Gilbert Bagum lived.

The masked catwoman hid under the shadow of the eaves, observing the courtyard of Bagum's mansion, and her mask revealed a pair of shining eyes.

At the same time, Jiang Feng received a reminder of the main task from the system.

The long cutscene finally ended. From now on, she can control the heroine to sneak into the heavily guarded mansion and steal the ill-gotten gains of the corrupt official Bagum.
