Chapter 35: The Banquet
At night, London is shrouded in thick smoke and lit up the dark and silent streets of London.
Perth Manor, on the other hand, in West London, is different from the rest of the city, with bright lights, horse-drawn carriages lit by lamp stoves, and people in fancy gowns walking back and forth.
A magnificent carriage stopped in front of the iron gate of the Perth manor, the door was opened by the jumping groom, and Arnold, dressed in a luxurious black dress, walked down gracefully with a pestle and a cane in one hand.
In front of the iron gate of Perth Manor stood a butler in a black tuxedo, white gloves and a bow.
The butler looked at Arnold who stepped out of the carriage and hurriedly greeted him: "Welcome, distinguished guest, can I please show you the invitation, I don't doubt your meaning, it's just a process." ”
Before Arno could speak, Able in the carriage stepped out of the carriage, walked up to Arno, and handed the four invitations to the butler.
The housekeeper took the invitation and did not open it for inspection, but bowed slightly to Abel: "Ah, it is the respected family of His Excellency Abel, please forgive my ignorance, please come in ......"
Abel nodded to the butler expressionlessly, and then slowly walked towards the manor with Ms. Messer, who had just gotten off the carriage, and said to Arnold, "You two brothers, go and have fun for yourself." ”
Arno shrugged helplessly and looked at Meghan on the side: "Hey, I think our father has his own things to do, I plan to taste the famous champagne here, what about you?"
Megan looked up and thought about it, and finally looked at Arnold: "I guess I'm better with you, I don't have any friends here." ”
As the two brothers walked towards the manor, they chatted without a word: "Arno, aren't you going to find a lady to have a banquet with?"
"There is no such idea. ”
"I sometimes really wonder if you're a!"
"Of course I am not, because I have heard that when a man is single until he is thirty years old, he has the opportunity to become a magician. ”
"And that kind of statement?"
"Of course, if you don't believe it, you can give it a try. ”
——————————————
In the square of the manor, long tables covered with white cloth are arranged in an orderly manner, and the white cloth is full of exquisite food and wine, and a long oil lamp stands on the four sides of each table, and even several candles are placed on the table.
And the table was full of richly dressed men and women, who elegantly held up fine wines and served delicious food on delicate porcelain plates, tasting them in small sips. They divided into several groups and gathered together and talked as if they were happy.
Arno walked into the manor with a pestle and a cane in his right hand, followed by a expressionless Megan.
Arnold walked over to a crowded table, gently picked up a glass of champagne, and took a sip: "Well, it's not bad, maybe you should try it!"
Meghan walked over to Arnold and took a sip of a glass of champagne without saying a word, but her face seemed to be worried about something.
Arno looked at Meghan strangely: "You don't seem to be very happy tonight, what's wrong?"
Meghan's face was a little solemn: "I was just wondering why Greg invited us here......"
Arno shook the goblet in his hand slightly, with a smile on his face: "When I saw the invitation, I already guessed that Greg found out who you were. ”
Megan put the goblet back on the table and looked at Arnold with a frown: "Since you guessed that he found out who I am, why are you still laughing?"
Arnold raised his goblet and drank the wine in one gulp, then looked at Meghan, but still had a smile on his face: "Megan, don't panic when you encounter anything, there is a way to solve anything, since this is the case, why don't we greet it with a smile?"
Arno looked at Megan, who was still silent: "And you don't have to worry, he can't do anything!"
Meghan looked at Arno in surprise: "He can't do anything?"
Arno picked up a glass of champagne from the table and held the goblet elegantly: "Of course, even if he finds out your identity, what can he do without evidence? If we were ordinary civilians, I think he would have a way to clean you up, but you are from the Dorian family! Without evidence, he can't do anything! Even the investigation doesn't dare to be open!"
Megan picked up the goblet from the table and looked at the wine in the glass with a complicated look: "Is this so...... While we are deploring all the injustices in society, we are also enjoying a superior life and power......"
Arnold patted Meghan on the shoulder: "There is no true absolute equality in the world, only relative equality, maybe only death can bring absolute equality......"
Megan looked at Arno and laughed, but she didn't think the smile was so good: "Ha, what a desperate world." ”
Arno shook his head with a smile, and whispered to Megan: "That's why there are us assassins, and we, the assassins, are here to break this desperate world, I don't expect the world to be absolutely equal, but I want every citizen to get relative rewards and relative freedom through their own efforts, instead of being enslaved and exploited by some black-hearted magnates, and these black-hearted magnates ......"
Before Arno could finish speaking, a figure seemed to reach his foot and leaned towards him.
Arno gently dodged sideways as the figure slammed into it, grabbing the figure's arm and pulling him up before he fell, and when the figure stood still, Arno had time to observe the reckless figure.
She is a young lady, different from the generous body type of European women, her body shape is more like that of Asians, so petite and delicate. He has long silver-white hair, a firm nose, narrow eyes, and a small mouth.
Arnold admitted that he was amazed by the lady in front of him, and he quickly let go of his hand: "You didn't hurt there, this lady?"
The young lady stood firm, looked at Arno with an expressionless face, and her voice was extremely cold: "It's okay, thank you for your help." With that, she didn't wait for Arno to speak, and turned and walked into the distance.
Arno looked at the lady who was leaving, stunned, it was the first time he had seen such an indifferent person.
"The ridiculous Kenway family is still delusional about blending into the circle of our nobles!"
"Ha, did you see what she looked like after she was rejected?"
"Of course, she's so angry that she can't even walk steadily, haha!"
"I wonder how their family can attend today's banquet?"
"I heard they were invited by Gregor!"
Arno looked at the young men and ladies who were talking not far away, his brows furrowed deeply, this group of people should be the children of those powerful people, I don't know why, they were laughing at the young ladies just now.
