You call this a black hand?

Here Melon was putting on his mask with a confused face, and then mixed into the banquet crowd with the tall and strong Arthur.

Over there, the blond-haired Kevin was actually very unprepared for this.

"What the hell are you doing Jim!"

In the bright corridor outside the banquet hall, a blond boy in a white shirt and tuxedo grabbed his friend's arm and sounded very annoyed.

"Didn't we agree that it would be a normal banquet? Why did it turn into this masked dance again?"

"What is your plan?"

"With their faces covered, who can tell which one is the illegitimate child?"

…

Kevin has been unhappy all day today.

On the one hand, it was because I was unhappy about being blackmailed out of a large sum of pocket money last night.

On the other hand, he found that his understanding of the illegitimate child seemed to be wrong.

He originally thought that when the guy faced the invitation, even if he didn't refuse, he would be very wary or even resist.

However, judging from yesterday's extortion of money, the other party was obviously not afraid of getting into trouble at the banquet, but instead deliberately wanted to anger him...

Why is this happening?

Where does the illegitimate child get the confidence to ignore the pressure they put on him in the past?

Or is it that the illegitimate son actually didn't see clearly his intention to cause trouble?

Rationally, Kevin didn't think the illegitimate son had any trump cards.

In other words, even if there were, how could it be possible to compare with them?

So the guy might be bluffing, or he might just want to extort a sum of money and run away.

But intuitively, he felt that there must be something beyond his knowledge about this matter.

This made Kevin feel a little uneasy.

That's why he was so angry when he found that even the banquet itself was out of control.

By the way, because of yesterday's mistake in the invitation plan, he felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at his friend.

"Actually, we're not just in trouble now."

When questioned by his friend, Jim, who has brown and black curly hair, said with a bitter expression: "Do you think this was my idea?"

"If it's not yours, it could be——"

Kevin suddenly reacted halfway through his words, "No, it can't be your father, really..."

"Who else could it be but him?"

Jim said with a frustrated expression: "He has always been so arrogant and unreasonable. As long as he thinks about himself, he doesn't care what others are doing, as if the whole world revolves around him..."

The words were full of resentment, but when he spoke, Jim's voice was kept very low, as if he was afraid of being heard by his father.

The two of them looked at each other in silence.

This sudden accident completely disrupted their plans. They were unprepared and seemed to have no idea what to do for a while.

But after hesitating for a moment, Jim suddenly gritted his teeth and said as if he had made a lot of determination: "No, we can't just let it go, and I can't let him really go and cause trouble in front of our group of friends!

"

"What can you do?"

Kevin asked hopelessly.

"Go to my mother!" Jim replied firmly.

If anyone can stop that annoying father from continuing to cause trouble, it must be his mother...

Kevin barely regained some confidence after hearing this.

So the two of them hurried towards the buildings deep in the manor.

However, when they arrived at a bright reading room, they were shocked to find that Mrs. Ernest, who had given them great hope, was not in the manor at this time!

"I'm at Mrs. Chelsea's place to discuss something."

Through the Book of Secret Words, Jim learned about his mother's current location, which made him a little anxious.

"Father is causing trouble at my banquet. Mom, please come back and stop him!"

"Of course I know he was causing trouble at your banquet, otherwise why do you think I would go out at this time?"

The words coming from the other side made the two teenagers dumbfounded.

"It's because of his disgusting habits that I hid."

"Out of sight, out of mind. Since he likes to wear women's clothes, let him wear them."

"Even if he pretends to be me again and goes to flirt with some man, I don't care!"

…

The dark words on the Book of Secret Words appeared quickly, proving that the lady opposite was unable to maintain a normal mind when faced with this matter.

However, even so, she still hid...

The room fell into silence.

After a long time, Jim said in a dry tone: "I'm not afraid that something will happen to me, but you..."

After taking a few glances at his friend's ordinary appearance, he comforted him: "Judging from your appearance, you probably won't be targeted by my dad."

"But...there is this mask."

Kevin said unconfidently: "Who can see clearly what a person looks like? Are you sure that your dad will definitely recognize you?"

"What if he doesn't ask anything and just casts a sleeping spell..."

"What are you afraid of? At worst, we won't go to this banquet."

Jim pretended to be relaxed and said: "My mother is hiding out, what can we, the younger generation, do? We can only hide too."

"But, is this the matter of illegitimate children?"

"This..."

This is obviously a problem.

After a great deal of work, Kevin even chipped in a large sum of pocket money.

If we really forget about it, wouldn't we be depressed to death?

But if you go to this banquet...

The two looked at each other unconsciously and suddenly felt a little confused.

…

"This is actually a good thing for you, Arthur."

When entering the banquet hall, Arthur heard "Eiger" beside him say: "Wearing a mask can minimize the effect of appearance. Your appearance is not ugly, but it is just the kind of mask that instantly increases your attractiveness by several degrees."

level of ordinary people.”

"On the other hand, your figure is very outstanding, and your figure cannot be concealed. This is a big advantage at present."

"So you should pay more attention and use the methods I told you to prepare. Maybe the lady will pay attention to you somewhere."

"Aren't you coming with me?"

Arthur understood the meaning of his new friend's words, and said with a slight hesitation on his tough face: "I actually don't have much confidence in myself..."

"Don't be afraid. This opportunity came suddenly. It's good to succeed, but it doesn't matter if you don't. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Mellen said: "I have encountered some trouble. Staying with you may affect our plan."

"Need help?"

"No, but I will tell you if there are any difficulties."

Saying this, Meren scanned the surrounding environment, feeling inexplicably unsure.

Because he really couldn't understand what the little yellow guy wanted to do with this so-called masked dance?

With his face covered, can he still recognize himself?

If he can't recognize himself, how can he cause trouble?

Or is it that the mask on his face has been tampered with in advance?

However, apart from artificially increasing the difficulty, what other use does this have?

I can't figure it out...

Mellen felt that he seemed to be unable to keep up with the enemy's thinking.

This changed his originally relaxed attitude and became much more serious.

There is a saying that goes well in the past life, it is difficult for you to make money beyond your knowledge unless you rely on luck.

This principle actually applies when it comes to troubles - as long as things are beyond your understanding, it will definitely not be smooth sailing.

Mellen had this mentality when facing death disaster before, and he still has this mentality now.

So after separating from Arthur, Meren hurried to the bathroom and used the mirror inside to observe his fate line.

This sight made him relax instantly.

"Very good, the date of death is still at the end of the month, and there are no accidents."

Mellen relaxed a lot.

…

On the other side, after Arthur separated from Mellen, he picked up a white rose placed in a vase on a certain dining table and inserted it into the small breast pocket of his tuxedo.

Mellen said that dating between men and women requires skills.

For example, if he invites a girl who likes fresh colors to an old-fashioned restaurant, no matter how carefully he prepares, the girl's first impression of the date will not be very good.

Based on this, if the opposite decision is made, then at least it will get off to a good start, if nothing else.

And if there are really no conditions, then the "scope" can also be reduced.

For example, sit under an oil painting that the girl likes, or place some small objects that the other person likes, or flowers, etc. between the two of you.

In this way, when a girl looks at him, she will naturally see the things she likes in her eyes.

The so-called love house and bird, using this method, silently, can affect the girl's sense of him.

Arthur's current approach is based on this principle.

In addition, he also specifically asked a passing waiter for a glass of strong-flavored light silver rum, holding it in his hand while walking around the banquet hall, occasionally lowering his head to take a sip.

According to Mellen, this wine is the most consumed drink at Ernest Estate.

The white roses inserted in the chest are also the most frequently replenished flowers in the manor during winter.

Its owner must like it very much.

Arthur didn't know where Mellen got the information.

In fact, since he came into contact with Mellen, he felt that Mellen was very mysterious, and some of the things he said were simply unheard of.

After thinking about it carefully, it makes sense.

That's why he was willing to listen to Mellen.

Because Arthur actually knew clearly that if he wanted to take revenge on his family's powerful enemy, all the methods he knew would not work.

Only by finding a new way, using knowledge, skills and even revenge ideas that no one else has heard of, can we achieve our goal.

"I hope fate will bless me and I can meet that lady..."

While wandering around the banquet, Arthur looked around at the people around him and prayed secretly.

However, before he could reach his target, he suddenly heard a very familiar voice coming from behind.

"You shouldn't be here, Arthur. A very serious disaster is about to happen here."

The soft words seemed to be full of very complex emotions.

Arthur was shocked when he heard this, and then slowly turned his head to look.

"Martha..."
