Fete?

In other words, the feast?

A round table seemed to appear in front of Jason's eyes, and then, a stream of delicacies from the mountains and seas appeared on the table like flowing water.

Suddenly, the anger in Jason's heart flashed away.

Jason was angry that he had been interrupted to eat, but it was still forgivable if there was compensation for such interruptions, especially considerable compensation.

Jason is such a principled person.

"Hmm."

Jason nodded.

Then, the roasted beef is placed in a small saucer, and after the chopsticks are turned from side to side, the hot, greasy beef is immediately stained with cumin, sesame seeds, coarse salt, and chili noodles.

When you put it in your mouth, you will feel the richness of the beef, and the salty and spicy flavor will bloom on the tip of the tongue.

The saltiness is like a sword, cutting thorns and slashing sharpness.

The spicy taste is like a bomb, and it roars instantly.

Coupled with the beef itself, the heaviness was like a layer of armor, which was put on Jason's body, so that he was not afraid of such chops and explosions, on the contrary, his body felt the shock of chopping and explosions, and trembled again and again.

After the whole body trembled, it was a sigh of contentment.

Sesame seeds and cumin are the embellishments in the sigh.

Crisp with aftertaste.

Under the aftertaste, a second sigh of course.

The initial impulse was gone.

But it's getting more and more long-lasting.

"It's delicious."

Jason commented silently in his heart.

It's not just the high quality of the beef.

Also because, the small ingredients are also just right.

Then, Jason's gaze turned to Hui Lijing.

Hui Lijing immediately kept muttering: "I just roasted it, and I didn't eat a single piece of beef - ten times!" Ten times! ”

However, muttering in her mouth, Hui Lijing still picked up the plate and put the barbecue on the grill one by one.

Laugh at! Snort!

The concert of grease and charcoal fire sounded again.

At this time, Jason looked at the young man of the Hua Kaiyuan family.

Immediately, the young man bowed again.

"I'm sorry, I was too rude before."

"Together, as you deduced."

"The attack just now was just a cover-up for the killing."

As he spoke, the young man raised his hand, took off a bracelet with a stone the size of a little thumb on it, and placed it in his hand.

"As agreed."

"This 'Blessing Stone' is yours."

After the young man finished speaking, he handed the bracelet to Jason with both hands.

Jason didn't hesitate and walked straight over.

This in itself is what he deserves.

Moreover, the smell of 'food' on it tells Jason that this 'blessing stone' should taste good.

Even when the aroma of the beef on the grill continues to exude, it is still extremely clear.

Although this prop is not the most flavorful on the other party, it is not the worst one.

This made Jason's heart move and he had some guesses.

However, Jason didn't think much of it.

In front of the 'food', it already took a lot of energy for Jason to maintain his usual state.

In fact, if it weren't for the outsiders around, Jason would probably swallow the 'Blessing Stone' in one bite.

The young man of the Flower Blossom House was immediately relieved when he saw Jason Jason accept the 'Blessing Stone'.

He was genuinely worried that Jason would not take it.

If that were the case, he wouldn't be able to talk about what happened after that.

And now?

"Your Excellency Jason, do you know anything about the Blossom Courtyard family?"

"About the separation of the house into the house of the Lord."

The young man asked with a slight groan.

This kind of muttering is not hesitation, but organizing the language.

He needed to use more tactful language to inform Jason of what had happened.

As for speaking directly?

I'm so sorry.

The sense of pride in his heart that came from the big family made it difficult for him to speak so directly.

Or rather, things haven't gotten to the point where they're really bad.

Still...... Not fatal.

It's just a lot of trouble.

Everything just now, after investigation, is indeed as Jason said.

And the person who was assassinated was Hua Kai Yuan Ming, and the person who assassinated Hua Kai Yuan Ming was Hua Kai Yuan Xiu.

Both of them were his companions in order to cope with this test.

It's just that what Hua Kaiyuan Qing didn't expect was that he was obviously a companion, but he directly backstabbed him.

Such a backstab made Hua Kaiyuan understand that he could no longer find a helper from the family.

Not everyone in the family is unreliable anymore.

It's that he can't trust these people anymore.

It's very simple, did the person who erased the traces and kill people go to such great lengths just to make him choose two partners again?

Of course not.

Blooming and sunny can be guaranteed.

When he chooses two partners again, there will immediately be two more suitable candidates than Hua Kai Yuan Ming and Hua Kai Yuan Xiu, and at the critical moment, these two people will inevitably give him a backstab.

For this is the task of these two men: to make him fail from the separation to the Lord's house.

And among these divisions, there are about three or five people who are capable of doing such things.

He can't be sure yet.

But one thing is certain.

He had to complete his original plan.

It's not just his ambition.

And his parents' too.

It is the division where he is located, the expectation of everyone.

Therefore –

He's looking for foreign help.

It just so happens that there is one in front of me.

"Know a little."

Under the gaze of the blossoming courtyard, Jason nodded.

Such a thing does not need to be denied.

He does know a little.

Tsuchigomon Yuan mentioned it.

The old monk of Tong Shouji Temple also said.

But specifically?

He really didn't know.

"I, the Flower Blossom Courtyard Tho, the Flower Blossom Courtyard Plant, the Blossom Courtyard Tree and the Blossom Courtyard Luo are the main contenders for this year's division into the main family."

"The five of us lead the outstanding children of our respective families to complete the tasks given by the main family."

"The just dead Hua Kai Yuan Ming and Hua Kai Yuan Xiu are the helpers I seek, but Hua Kai Yuan Xiu killed Hua Kai Yuan Ming, which put me in a dilemma."

"I need to complete the task given by the master, and I must have two helpers."

"But I can't trust anyone in my family right now."

"So, I hope that Lord Jason can help me—not for free, of course."

Hua Kaiyuan Qing said in detail.

"Two helpers?"

Instead of asking about pay, Jason asked about something more interesting.

"Yes."

"The task given by the master is to participate in this year's 'King of Fighters - The King of Fighters Tournament', and decide the water to enter the main family by ranking."

"Different from the previous solo and reserve mode, this 'King of Fighters Tournament' requires a team of three people to participate."

Hua Kaiyuan nodded and said.

The King of Fighting?

The King of Fighters?

King！

Jason almost immediately thought of Hui Lijing's sister.

The woman who snatched the invitation to the 'Extreme Stream'.

Hui Lijing, who was barbecuing, also raised her head involuntarily and glanced at Hua Kaiyuanqing, but immediately lowered her head.

It's not good if the meat is burnt.

As for her sister?

Although there should be something she didn't know, since that guy snatched someone else's invitation, he would naturally participate.

When the time comes, she will definitely be able to find that guy when she goes to watch the battle.

Hui Lijing thought so.

Jason thinks so too.

Jason has not forgotten the commission that Hui Lijing gave him, and the promise he gave.

Find the other person's sister.

Therefore, after hearing the invitation of Hua Kaiyuanqing, Jason was very moved.

It's killing two birds with one stone.

However, Jason didn't say yes right away.

One thing is one thing.

Jason doesn't mind fighting for more benefits for himself when he goes by the way.

"Remuneration."

Jason said.

"I'll get paid for the fragments of the Arrow of Rice and Rice."

As he spoke, Hua Kaiyuan Qing took out a rusty and badly damaged arrow from his cuff.

If it weren't for Hua Kaiyuan Qing saying the word 'arrow', Jason would not have been able to associate what was in front of him with 'arrow' at all.

However, the strong 'food' flavor on it is not fake.

Moreover, this prop is the one with the strongest 'food' smell on Hua Kaiyuan Qing's body.

"Although this 'Arrow of Inawa' is only a fragment, it still retains a trace of its former power, and it only needs to be activated to be able to deliver a blow that threatens the Great Demon."

"Of course, just a threat."

"It's not fatal."

"However, if you find a weak point, you may be able to deal a fatal blow."

Seeing Jason looking at the 'Arrow of Rice and Rice', Hanakaiyuan Qing immediately said.

Nothing is exaggerated.

It's about seeking truth from facts.

By the way, the "Blessing Stone" was also introduced.

"The prayer stone is a stone in a century-old temple that receives incense to pray for, which can effectively avoid malicious peeping, and can also scare off most ordinary demons, and even, if the life is right, it will bring good luck to the wearer."

"Hmm."

Jason nodded again.

Then, he asked.

"What about the other one?"

Since there are three people, it is definitely not possible to have only him and Hua Kaiyuan Qing now.

For the third person, Jason has no special requirements, he doesn't need to be how strong the other party is, but he must be reliable.

"I have a few candidates, but since the other party can kill Hua Kaiyuanxiu, he can naturally arrange people in the family in addition to planting similar secrets around me."

"So, I'll need to spend some time looking for it."

"However, please rest assured, as long as you agree to team up with me to participate in the 'King of Fighters Tournament', no matter what the final result is, the fragments of the 'Arrow of Inawa' will be yours."

"Of course, if you can help me win, I'll pay you higher and better."

"At least no less than five times the value of the 'Arrow of Rice and Rice'."

After the flowers bloomed and the courtyard was clear, there was a 'bellflower mark'.

Take this as an oath and prove your faith.

"Okay."

Jason's gaze at the blossoming courtyard became softer and softer.

Let's not talk about other aspects of the other party, at least enough to be generous.

First of all, a piece of food that can be and a good piece.

After that, five nice foods, or equivalents.

And also!

A feast.

"When's the feast?"

Jason asked.

When confronted with food, he is not at all ambiguous.

Because, once ambiguous, it is yourself who suffers.

It's like when shabu-shabu, whoever picks up the meat on the plate may be the one who can't eat the meat.

"I'll arrange it as soon as possible."

"This is my promise to you."

"When I find a second companion, when I introduce you to each other, I'll have another dinner."

Hua Kaiyuan Qing keenly grasped Jason's preferences.

Love to eat?

Really a pretty unpretentious and reliable hobby.

It's different from other hobbies.

This kind of hobby can be satisfied by almost anyone.

Even if Jason can eat it again, it is impossible to eat the flower blossom courtyard family, right?

Thinking of this, Hua Kaiyuanqing, who had received elite education since childhood, immediately spoke again.

"Also, if you can help me win, I'll have a big feast at the Blossom House to entertain you — and make sure you have enough to eat."

The flowers bloom and the courtyard is clear.

Jason's eyes lit up when he heard such a promise.

A substantial glow shot out of Jason's eyes.

An invisible momentum rose from Jason's body.

Monsters as black as ink.

Scarlet's eyes widened.

He opened his bloody mouth and roared loudly.

Hungry!

I'm so hungry!

With a roar, Hua Kaiyuan took two steps back irrepressibly.

He looked at Jason in disbelief.

The pitch-black monster doesn't seem to exist in the present world, but as an onmyoji, Hanakaiyuan Haru can feel as if something terrible has just appeared.

Is this your strength?

Hua Kaiyuan Qing broke out in a cold sweat on her forehead.

But the heart was overjoyed.

The stronger Jason is, the better it is for him.

Therefore, Hua Kaiyuan Qing immediately adjusted her mood and spoke.

"I assure you, every word is true."

"Okay."

Jason restrained his leaky aura and nodded again.

"Then I'll prepare it right away."

"When everything is ready, I'll go to the 'Machete X Mask X Meat' office to find you, and ask you to reserve time for me in the next month."

Hua Kaiyuan Qing said, and bowed back.

When passing by with the old monk of Tongshou Temple, Hua Kaiyuan Qing bowed very politely.

The old monk folded his hands in return, and a trace of pity and ...... appeared in his eyes when he looked at Hua Kaiyuan Qing Freemasonry.

The breath that Jason leaked just now, the old monk also sensed it.

It is clearer than what the young man Hua Kaiyuan Qing perceived.

The old monk could even clearly feel the 'hunger' in it.

It is the 'hunger' that can devour everything.

Even, he mistakenly thought that he had returned to the mythical era of the East and saw the legendary 'gluttony'.

It's just that the 'gluttony' is not black.

It was as black as ink, and it was impossible to see the face.

Can't see clearly?

Could it be......

Cover?

The inexplicable old monk thought of something.

But then an unprecedented sense of crisis emerged in my heart.

The sense of crisis was countless times stronger than when he was caught the first time he was out of the old man.

Immediately, the old monk folded his hands.

"Forget! Forget! ”

He muttered to himself.

Almost instantly, the old monk forgot all about the speculation just now, just walked back, looked at Hui Lijing who was gasping for breath, and asked softly, "Is Hui Lijing's female benefactor okay?" ”

"It's alright, just now?"

The female detective asked in disbelief.

"It's normal, if you stay on the 'mystery side' for a long time, you will get used to it."

The old monk replied.

He had long forgotten what had just happened.

He only thinks that Hui Lijing is asking about the cooperation between Hua Kaiyuan Qing and Jason.

And the female detective who has not really come into contact with the 'mysterious side' believes in the old monk very much.

"I see."

The female detective nodded.

Then, quickly turn over the cooked beef.

"The beef is cooked, hurry up and eat it."

"Why hasn't Ryosuke come back yet?"

"If you don't come back, the beef in the store should be eaten."

The female detective said very matter-of-factly.

When the old monk heard this, his face couldn't help twitching.

He thought of the blossoming courtyard again.

What about the big family background?

Shouldn't you be courteous?

If you disturb someone eating, shouldn't you settle the account?

Why did you just say that you would have a banquet next time?

My Buddha!

Save your faithful believers!

I'm not asking for retirement to go home!

But please don't let me stay to wash the dishes!

The smell of detergent is terrible!

The old monk prayed incessantly.

And just when the old monk's face twitched, Ryosuke's face was also twitching.

It's just that the old monk is worried about money.

Ryosuke is because of the ...... on the back of his head. Gun.
