The huge crystal chandelier fills the hall with light, like daylight, the reflective transparent goblets rub and collide with each other, the clear liquor of various colors rises and falls in the glass, the slender and slender high heels hit the white and smooth marble floor, making a pleasant sound, the gentlemen and ladies, handsome men and beautiful women talk softly, laugh and whisper, the band next to them plays music that fits the atmosphere, and even has a hint of hormones

Everything is so perfect.

But when that man arrived, everything that was perfect was shattered.

Although she is isolated from the circle, the eldest lady of the Three Thousand Courtyard has always been watched by everyone - the difference is only in the degree of attention.

Among all the people present, regardless of talent, family background, appearance, and status, it can be said that in addition to the two points of chest and height, the eldest lady is a well-deserved leader, and on the whole, she is even more condescending and looks down on all beings.

All of this made her the natural center of attention, even if she didn't like it herself.

Therefore, when the handsome humanoid Gundam next to him finished the phone call and reported to the eldest lady, a considerable number of the guests present knew that today's other protagonist, or prey, was about to arrive.

Then everyone, at least most, looked to the door.

Wait for that guy to arrive, and then give him a hard dismount!

Hundreds of elite heroes who are unknown friends and foes are invariably the same, or they have a tacit understanding to watch at the same time, as a meeting gift to someone, it is not unceremonious.

When the minister walked into the main hall, he saw this scene.

In that moment, he even had the illusion that he was back in the age of fourteen, surrounded by a tribe of spotted hyenas in the African savannah.

He narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth drew a faint arc.

That night, the hyena tribe, after being killed by dozens of them, dispersed.

At that time, the short swords in his hand were only a dozen or so that had just been sharpened, not as many as the current thirty-odd ones, and after killing about ten, he stopped throwing and switched to hand-to-hand combat.

Fists, palms, knives, elbows, knees, feet, heads, movements like thunder, hair like a broken bow, all parts that can be used to attack, are used by him.

Like an incomparably efficient precision machine, dozens of attacking hyenas were all dealt by him, all of them killing with one blow. The rest fled like lost dogs.

So, it's just a group of hyenas, although it takes a little effort, but compared to cheetahs, jaguars, tigers and black bears, lions, and even hippos, forest snakes, and silverback gorillas, it's only a little bit of effort.

Even those primitive tribes and cannibals are inferior.

Although fierce, although cunning, although a little bit of cooperation, although there are a lot of them

But there is no Liliang that is enough to kill in one blow, so there is no threat to yourself.

Perhaps they can still win by numerical superiority against lions, a beast that is powerful but has only one mouth and two front paws; But if you want to be as powerful as Shi Chen, and the whole body is full of murder weapons, outstanding skills (although not often used), and you can attack from a distance and fight in close combat, you are simply looking for death.

Absolutely, look for death.

Since they are looking for death, what reason does Shi Chen have to stop them?

There's no reason at all!

Thinking like this, a smile gradually appeared on that originally expressionless face.

And a moment later, the hall was filled with staggered and whispered as if nothing had happened, and the hall regained its previous scene.

It's just that only you know what everyone is thinking.

"It seems that tonight will be a good show!"

In the middle of the crowd where he couldn't see, a young man with a thin and tall figure and a slightly frivolous temperament raised a goblet in his hand from a long distance to greet him

"You guy, you're a little late!"

When he walked in front of the Three Thousand Courtyard and the Gui family, the first thing he heard was such a complaint from the eldest lady.

"Something, a little delayed."

Shi Chen explained - of course, this is not the case, but a loyal and honest driver comrade, seeing that his young lady and him did not speak in the back row, so under the eyes of a certain maid next to him, he made a big circle on the road.

However, someone who doesn't know the way and isn't paying attention to it doesn't know.

"So, good evening, Senior Sister, Sa, Yanye, and Miss Himenomiya."

Every time he said a name, he nodded slightly at the other party, which was considered to be courteous.

"Good evening, hour." Gui Daisy had a tired voice.

"Hmm." The debtor steward nodded.

"Good evening, senior." Yan Ye tried his best to make a forced smile.

"Good evening, Mr. Tosaka." Miss Maid gave a gentle salute.

"Look at the appearance of you and Yanye, senior sister, it seems that something happened before I came" He pushed his glasses expressionlessly, "Can you say come and listen?" Of course, forget it if it's inconvenient. ”

"Nothing inconvenient." The pink-haired president sighed lightly, "Before you came, the head of the Sawayue family called me and Yanye up"

"Oh" only listened to this sentence, combined with the information that Akiko had told him before, Shi Chen probably guessed what was going on, so he said, "I understand." ”

“”X5

"Although I have full confidence in you, let me ask you - senior sister, you didn't let them succeed, did you?"

"Don't be so formal!" Scolding his younger brother, Gui Daisy's face had a trace of regret, as if he was very dissatisfied with his previous performance, "Although I have tried my best, I was still persuaded by the head of the family. ”

"Persuaded?"

"Yes, convinced." Katsura Daisy shook his head, "However, judging from the performance of the young man surnamed Ito, he should and did realize his mistake, so, there is no way, I will let Yan Ye forgive him." ”

said that you 'made' Yan Ye forgive him, I'm afraid Yan Ye couldn't stand it and reluctantly forgave him, right?

"They, just asking Yan Ye to forgive him?"

"Hmm."

"Humph!" Shi Chen, who received an affirmative answer, snorted lightly: "Do you want to learn from that Arab brute?" I finally have some brains, but that's just a few. ”

If he had been a little smarter, he would not have tried to meddle in the affairs between him and the Itsukushima family - it was a contest between outlaws and normal people, and anyone who tried to stop them could only do so by violent rather than peaceful means.

Either incapacitate the outlaws or the outlaws win.

There is no other way - negotiation, persuasion, inducement, intimidation, or other non-violent acts.

It's a pity that the Zeyue family didn't realize this, and treated the outlaw as a child, and then, self-righteously, used the trick of seducing the child.

This is their doomed defeat.

Not because of good or evil, right or wrong.

It's just that the awareness of the enemy is not deep enough.

That's all.

PS: Shi Chen used the fable stalk of the Arabs and their camels, which in the idiom of the Celestial Empire probably means to inch in and dove to occupy the magpie's nest.
