Banquets, or drinking parties, were social necessities for the nobility, in addition to showing their wealth and status. In an era when sources of information were mainly newspapers and chats, socializing was an important part of aristocratic life. In the old aristocratic families that strictly adhere to the ancient traditions, although they no longer need to get news from drinking parties or banquets, they still flock to them.

The Duke of Sherman's banquet every weekend is a very orthodox aristocratic reception, and without the title of British royal warrant, even if you have a lot of money, you can't get into it. This is the best opportunity for the Clark family, who have just settled their family debts and want to return to aristocratic circles.

Although Li Huan repeatedly emphasized that this was an interrogation, apart from him, even Bellamy himself did not take this matter to heart. It seems that the two guys who were burned into a vegetative state by mental power have never appeared, and this incident has never happened.

At nine o'clock, half an hour before the banquet began, Li Huan and the three of them took the Rolls-Royce Silver Thorn arranged by the old butler and came to the door of the Duke Sherman's mansion.

The Duke of Sherman is the oldest aristocratic family in the whole of Britain, whose ancestors are said to date back to the Roman royal family, and was one of the contributors to the establishment of London, even older than the history of England, and even the royal family gave them three points. Attending their banquet is the glory of status. The three of them got out of the car at the door of the Duke's mansion, and the silver thorn left silently. Li Huan stepped forward to ring the doorbell and reported his identity, and soon the door opened, and a shiny elongated Humvee drove to the door and brought the two to the door of the white villa in the middle of the manor mansion that was crawling with creepers.

The door of the inner courtyard had not yet opened, and there was a thick red carpet at the door, and twenty or thirty men and women stood scattered around, all of whom had been invited to the banquet. The door of the inner courtyard was not opened, and they were not in a hurry, so they chatted with acquaintances and waited for the time when the gate opened.

"It's like the White House. Li Huan looked at this unique mansion, how familiar it looked: "It's so special......

"The White House was built in 1792, and the mansion was completed in 1678. Nicole whispered, "It's not that he resembles the White House, but that the White House resembles it." ”

"Uneducated...... Bellamy also said disdainfully: "This building has been in my time...... I warn you, don't disgrace me today, if you do, it's the face of the Clark family, don't blame me for being rude. ”

"Can you take our purpose here seriously?" Li Huan sighed.

Bellamy glanced at Li Huan with disdain: "Since that duke is in charge of the inquisition, it is not direct

Arresting you and inviting you to his mansion alone means that he must have another purpose. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked you to come to his house to talk. Moreover, he doesn't know who I am, so his main target this time is you, not me. ”

"That seems to make sense...... But what did he ask me for, we know each other. Li Huan muttered.

"Isn't it clear when you see the duke?" Bellamy's face didn't matter.

Li Huan once again told Bellamy: "Remember, you can't hurt people at will here, let alone kill people, even if others want to hurt you, you must focus on avoiding it." Your strength is too strong for ordinary people. Until you have learned how to master your own power, it is strictly forbidden for you to do it with others. ”

"It doesn't matter if you hurt me, but you can't hurt my family. Bellamy said seriously, "Or, you can stop me by force." ”

If I could beat you, I would have done it a long time ago. Li Huan thought to himself.

"Hee-hee, Sister Bellamy, are you really that good?" Nicole covered her mouth in surprise.

"She's great, she's great, she's the best in the world. Li Huan pouted.

The three of them were whispering and waiting for the door to open, and no one noticed that a few eyes were already on them. Li Huan and the three of them came not early or late, but they were the most conspicuous. Nicole is known as the "Red Rose of Lendinium", and although the family is in decline, her beauty is still very famous in aristocratic circles. Although Bellamy doesn't know anyone, her beauty that is not lost to Nicole has also become the focus of everyone's attention.

The three of them were chatting, when suddenly a woman in her twenties, wearing a red ladies' gown with blonde hair and a few freckles on her face, walked up. Without saying a word, she directly hugged Nicole's shoulder, seemingly very affectionate.

"Nicole, you're coming to the dinner party, what's the matter? Have you paid off the Clark family's debts, or have you decided to marry the rich merchant I introduced you to?" the woman in the red gown smiled coquettishly.

When Nicole saw this woman, she immediately shrugged her shoulders without a trace, and tried to remove the hand from her shoulder, but with little success, the woman not only pretended not to feel it, but took Nicole's hand even harder.

"Look at our red roses, finally sold themselves!"

Her words caused a burst of laughter from the crowd.

Nicole's family's financial situation is no secret in high-level circles. Generally, when encountering a declining aristocratic family, everyone will not take the initiative to provoke, after all, there are so many people in this circle, and there is no need to offend people if they look up all day long and don't look down. But as the saying goes, women's

Jealousy is the scariest of all, and Nicole happens to have the jealousy points of most of the women present.

"You, you're talking nonsense!Angela, I haven't offended you, why do you always have trouble with me?"

"If you haven't sold yourself, then your family's financial problems haven't been solved?What banquet are you here to attend?Or are you buying an invitation??," The woman named Angela laughed even louder, and the expression of disdain on her face was undisguised.

"You're ......," Nicole blushed.

Beautiful women are prone to jealousy, and they are especially vulnerable to bullying, and if the conditions at home are not good, they are simply a live target. The Angela who spoke to her was a marquis lady who was very well-known in the top circles of London, and her family was in the jewelry business, and her family was extremely wealthy.

"Who is this person?" Li Huan couldn't help frowning after listening to it for a long time.

"A nuisance, she introduced a man in his seventies a few months ago and said I was interested in getting married, and asked my mother to kick him out with a broom!" said Nicole, with tears in her big pretty eyes.

While the hatred between classes is naked, women's jealousy is terrible...... Isn't that terrible?

Li Huan saw Bellamy's brows furrowed, hurriedly stepped forward, protected Nicole behind him, and said lightly: "Get out." ”

"Who are you!?Who gave you the right to talk to me like that!"

"It doesn't matter who I am, but I warn you that if you continue to be vexatious, you will do so at your own risk. Li Huan looked at Bellamy, who was unhappy, for fear that she would disagree and do it again, if someone died here, the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable.

The circle of aristocrats is very xenophobic, although Li Huan is dressed very decently today, but his bloodline, hair color, and skin color have been decided, and he is destined to be excluded from this circle in his life. Seeing that someone was helping Nicole out, Angela sneered and was about to speak, only to hear the bell ringing softly, and the door of the inner courtyard opened.

An old man in a tuxedo comes out of it. When the crowd who were watching the excitement saw him, they immediately stood in line in an orderly manner, took the invitations in their hands, and handed them to the old man one by one.

Judging by his dress, this old man should be Duke Sherman's butler.

Everyone entered the gate one by one, and when it was Angela's turn, she first handed over her invitation, and then pointed at Li Huan and his party maliciously: "You have to pay attention to check their invitations, the Clark family has been in decline for a long time, and their invitations must have been bought." ”

The old butler nodded, indicating that he understood, and did not raise his head.
