Li Muye drove and asked Liverani and Schmidt to sit in the back. In the cab only

"Little evil, you tell the truth to Lao Tzu now, what do you want to do, Lao Tzu is in a good mood, maybe you can cooperate, if you play tricks with Lao Tzu again, don't blame your uncle for not giving you any face. Li Muye looked at the path in front of him, and said to the frightened evil beside him: "Just tell what you know, I don't blame you for this, uncle told you the truth, Bai Wufang's tricks of fiddling with people can't even catch myself, let alone you." ”

"I know first of all that she's not going to hurt you. Evil came and said seriously: "I think the hall master aunt is absolutely sincere to you, and she also told me that you know what she wants to do in your heart." ”

"How the hell do I know a fart!" As soon as Li Muye mentioned Bai Wufang, he was angry, this woman was holding back and wanted to screw Brother Xiaoye into her rivers and lakes, just a few days later, this is looking for trouble again. When I remembered the horrific scene I saw in Almaty that day, I really didn't dare to refuse her like that. God knows what vicious things that vicious can do.

Evil said: "The aunt of the hall master also said, let us come here and take away someone." ”

"Take someone away?" Li Muye was surprised: "What person? Why do you do this?"

"It's a woman, a foreigner, in her early twenties, it's called Margaret." ”

"It's what it's called. Li Muye reprimanded: "You kid, you can't even remember a name, what else can you do?"

"It's called Margaret, Aunt Hall Master said, this woman will not leave Gent Manor in a short time, let us think of something to get in, just get people out, and then naturally someone from Baiyun Hall will come to answer." Evil Lai tilted his head and recalled, "That's probably all I know. ”

"This white and flawless is sure that you kid has no heart. Li Muye said: "Just your point, when I was in the Montreal City Hall Square, I knew that your kid had something to hide from Lao Tzu, let me ask you, if I didn't get out of the car to pee just now, and didn't find Liverani and them, what are you going to do?"

"Drive the car down the slope. Evil Lai said without hesitation: "I originally planned to do so, but I didn't expect you to meet an acquaintance in this ghost place." ”

Li Muye said: "This is a stupid way, and then you can find an excuse to go inside and ask for help." ”

As he spoke, the outline of the Ghent manor was already in front of me.

It is a large six-storey building with three smaller buildings built around it, and there are stables and garages next to it. It was all built in a large courtyard, with a fountain in the center, which is now winter and has been discontinued. Many low shrubs are planted around the pond, and various artistic patterns have been cultivated.

In front of the gate, Li Muye handed over the car to the staff of the manor, and the two followed Liverani and Schmidt into the manor together.

It was getting dark, and the open field in front of the manor building was lit up and the staff was preparing a bonfire.

"The owner of this estate is a member of the Ghent family from France, and a close friend of mine, whose full name is Auranger Petain Gent, or as you can call him for a moment, Aubert, who is a very hospitable man. ”

Schmidt humorously added: "At least it's not as embarrassing as I am." ”

••••••

In January, it was still a bitterly cold ice age in central Canada, but on this estate, the cold winds were blocked by the trees, and the roaring campfires and geothermal heat changed the temperature. People are not heavily dressed, and they toast each other through the piles of burning bonfires, and the atmosphere is harmonious.

Obey was a middle-aged man in his fifties, short and stocky, with swollen eyes, a mouth full of tetracycline teeth, a sky-high chin, a lewd temperament, and a bit rude in his language, but he was indeed hospitable. At least in terms of politeness, Li Muye was not treated specially. Because he was rude to everyone, including Liverani and Schmidt. Liverani said this guy has had this attitude toward anyone since he had no hope for a future in politics.

Li Muye now knows that this is a grand event organized by Europeans. The general characteristics of the congregation were that they were not famous, but they held important positions and had a lot of authority, and that there were no big businessmen, who looked like they were middle-class, and in fact every accessory they carried with them was of extraordinary origin, representing a deep family heritage, which was by no means qualified to be worn by the famous business tycoons.

None of these people are powerful tycoons in the front stage of business and politics, but through Liverani's introduction, Li Muye learned that these people are generally one of the behind-the-scenes shareholders of those well-known giant companies. Their eggs are scattered among countless baskets of business geniuses, and they will never lose everything because one of them turns over. They don't have tens of billions of assets, but they all inherit the mantle of wealth and nobility for a hundred years or even a thousand years.

These veteran aristocratic forces have infiltrated their influence into all walks of life by cross-holding a large number of original shares of listed companies, and have used these influences to guide the direction of public opinion, extend their hands to the political arena, and even regulate the economy and people's livelihood with their huge economic potential, using this as a means to deal with those opponents in the political and business circles.

When they join forces, they are giants of great power, who can collapse a business empire at any time, or they can disintegrate a political giant overnight. Because they are the elite of the Imperial Alliance.

Canada is a country of immigrants, and many places in history have been given strange names, New England, New France, new things, and so on. It is in the process of years of strife and evolution that today's equilibrium situation has been formed. Nominally, the owner of this country is the whole people, but in fact, it is like a big cake that has been divided, and the rights and interests have already been carefully distributed according to the size of the strength.

Riverani is a peripheral member of the Imperial Alliance, having just been absorbed as a full member this year.

The official annual gathering ended a few days after New Year's Day, and what was now going on was a general banquet of an entertaining nature. Everyone can talk about business with each other, they can also talk about feelings, exchange interests and hobbies with each other, do some interesting activities, or show interesting things to others, but they cannot rise to the level of organization. At this stage, outsiders will be allowed to participate.

They would show each other the rarities they claimed to be proud of, and Li Muye and Schmidt saw a beautiful French woman show her girlfriend her boyfriend of African elephant tribal blood. Schmidt said that the had grown a fifteen-inch strip.

Ghent Manor has an extensive hunting ground in the area, home to many wild rodents and herbivores. Fierce beasts such as grizzly bears, polar bears, North American wild wolves, and North American giant wild boars will also frequent this area.

Hunting was a favorite activity of European aristocrats, and now European wildlife has been hunted and killed as protected animals, and the abundant African and North American resources have become their new hunting grounds. In order to be able to experience the thrill of conquering nature, they don't mind spending a fortune here in search of the thrill of hunting.

The highlight of the night was to select the best hunter from all those involved in the hunt. According to the selection principle, the more ferocious the prey, the easier it is to get a high score. Schmidt was full of ambition, as the big grizzly bear he had hunted with his own hands had a good chance of being the heaviest prey of the night.

Every time the number one killer is elected, there is a lottery reward, usually the prizes are provided by the Alliance Elders, there is no certain rule for what is rewarded, maybe it is a female star's spring supper, maybe it is a rare thing, if the winner is a lady, the prize may also be a male star.

Li Muye and Evil Lai didn't know what that Margaret looked like or what she did. Under such limited conditions, it is almost impossible to find out in the face of so many options. One can only hope for the more familiar place with the Livilani. He was not involved in the hunt, but only accompanied Schmidt. You don't have to go to the stage and stand behind your prey to pose for a photo.

"Brother, I remember you said that the Imperial Power Alliance will regularly absorb fresh blood, and to become a peripheral member of the Imperial Power Alliance, what conditions do you need besides marriage?" Li Muye hugged his shoulders and looked at the hunters participating in the selection on the stage with an envious expression.

"Wealth and influence, or a special talent in some area, of course you have no problem in this regard, and then you are single, and when you meet a member of a formal member family who is in love, you will automatically become a peripheral member after marriage, and after a ten-year probationary period, you can be promoted to a full member if you raise more than three children." ”

"It doesn't sound too difficult. Li Muye asked again: "Do you have any requirements for skin color and bloodline?"

"There used to be, but now in the era of global integration, it's not so absolute, there are more Americans, and there are Africans and Asians. He asked rhetorically, "What's the matter?" Brother Li is still interested in joining the Imperial Alliance?"

Li Muye said: "Resource sharing, it's very interesting to watch, are you familiar with these celebrities and beauties?"

"It's not particularly familiar, but it's basically all known, if you're interested in it, I can help you introduce it, as for whether there is hope for in-depth communication later, it depends on your own ability. ”

At this point, the topic can be regarded as getting to the point step by step, but it is not yet possible to directly ask if there is a name Margaret. Li Muye glanced in the direction where the women were more crowded, and said, "There's a blonde girl over there, wearing a light gray princess hunting costume." ”

"You have a real vision, that's Countess Marnet, she's single, but she's been divorced three times, and although she's over forty, she's rich, and she has a huge castle in Budapest, Hungary, with a private collection that is said to rival the top public museums in Europe. ”

"I'm not interested in listening to your introduction, I like that kind of little girl in her early twenties, she's so mature, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it. ”

"Well, don't look that way. Liverani turned his gaze in the other direction and said, "Look over there, sitting in the moonlight, the one who is alone in a daze at the sky, I think she's the one you're looking for......"
