Chapter Ninety-Six: Invitations and Misunderstandings

"Excuse me, is it Mr. Roland?"

A polite-looking young servant in a tuxedo and bow tie stepped out of a carriage that had been parked for a long time in front of the tavern and bowed politely to Karl.

"Yes, I am!"

Karl glanced at the servant, then at the delicate, lightweight, open-top carriage that was parked, and at a glance at the mermaid insignia on the glossy brown painted wheels.

"Hello, Mr. Roland!"

The young servant touched his chest with his hand, and after greeting Karl politely, he took out another invitation, handed it to Karl with both hands, and said, "Mr. Karl, I have sent this invitation to you on the orders of Lady Loris!"

"In three days, Madame will hold a dance party at the Lolites Mansion, please be sure to enjoy it!"

Carl couldn't help but be slightly surprised that it was just a chance encounter in the carriage yesterday, a joking invitation, and Mrs. Loris actually sent an invitation.

Carl couldn't help but open the invitation, only to see the invitation card with gold rim and beautiful patterns decorated on the border, with a line of graceful and smooth handwriting.

To Mr. Carl Rowland:

It is an honor to hear that you have written a beautiful story and poem for my daughter. I'm going to have a little dance party at my home this week when the sun rises and I look forward to seeing you there......

The final payment is: what I look forward to for you: Mary Laura Loris.

After reading Mrs. Loris's invitation, Carl was surprised by Mrs. Loris's efficiency, and couldn't help but feel slightly complacent about himself.

"Please tell Lady Loris, I'll be there on time!"

Of course, Carl would not miss such a good opportunity to show himself and promote himself, and slightly suppressed the smugness in his heart, he replied in a polite tone: "Please help me convey my thanks and greetings to Madame, I am also very much looking forward to Mrs. Loris's ball, and even more to seeing the beautiful Mrs. Loris!"

"Okay, I'll convey your greetings to Madame!"

Lady Loris's servant finished the invitation, and was polite and bizarre. Karl also turned to walk into Uncle John's tavern and have another big meal to fill his hungry stomach.

And at this moment, a question that had been lowered in his voice was transmitted to his ears along the breeze in the air.

"He's Carl Rowland?"

"What did I see? the carriage with the mermaid marking? The servant, who seems to be the first valet of Lady Loris's house?"

"This Carl Rowland has something to do with the mermaid family! No wonder, no wonder, no wonder he dared to beat up the Marcus family Crassus mercilessly......"

A deliberately low-pitched whisper made Carl alert. Ever since the awakening of the dragon vein, Carl has found that he has suddenly gained a lot of interesting skills.

The dragon vein not only gave him the power to manipulate wind and water, but even made his eyes, ears, nose and other five senses sharper than ever.

His eyes have multiple effects of dim vision, dark vision, and magical vision, not only can he see in the darkness as if it were day, but he can also see the dazzling spiritual light entrenched on the spire of the church, and can see the spectrum of power blooming with all supernatural powers, and easily distinguish the difference between ordinary items and items with supernatural powers.

His ears have also become extremely sharp, not only can easily hear all the subtle movements within a few hundred meters around him, but after entering a state of concentration, he can also use the power of the wind flowing in the air all the time to transmit all the vibrations and flowing sounds in the air to his ears, which brings a powerful effect - as long as he pays a little attention, he can hear the voices of people several kilometers away.

Although he didn't listen intentionally this time, because the person who spoke was so close, he was easily caught by Carl.

Karl looked at the source of the sound, and saw a carriage parked around the corner of the street, with its carriage and curtains tightly closed. However, the curtain made of silk can't stop Carl's gaze now.

Carl condensed his attention slightly, his dark pupils contracted slightly, and he naturally saw through the thin curtain and saw the appearance of the people in the carriage.

The people in the carriage were not strangers, one was Jimmy Eric, who had just been badly lectured by Carl in the morning, and the other was a short, stocky middle-aged man with a bald head.

At this time, the stocky middle-aged man is teaching Jimmy Eric a hard lesson.

"You idiot, how did I give birth to such a stupid son of you......"

"I warned you a long time ago, be careful, keep a low profile, don't take the initiative to make enemies, don't cause trouble!"

"You idiot, I don't want to think about it, with a surname like Roland, can you easily mess with Franco, a son-in-law, on the first day?"

"But, but, didn't you teach me to make friends with big people, to get to know those who are really powerful and have powerful families?"

Jimmy Eric couldn't help but distinguish in a low voice: "Crassus is not only the heir of the Marcus family, but also loved by the Duke of Boston, and he still has the blood of the royal family of the Holy Hyrule Empire, his status is noble, and his future is immeasurable, as long as he can catch his line, our family will never have to ...... in the future."

"You idiot, why didn't I shoot you against the wall in the first place......"

Jimmy Eric's argument suddenly made the middle-aged man even more angry: "I told you a long time ago, don't provoke the Mermaid Family and the Wave Trident Family, clinging to these two families will certainly bring benefits, but it will also cause endless trouble...... A small body like ours, sandwiched between two behemoths, even a small friction between two giants, is enough to break us to pieces......"

"I told you earlier, the wind in Silver Tide City has not been in the right direction recently, and there are more and more contradictions and conflicts between the Mermaid Family and the Wave Trident Family...... You idiot just ran headlong into it......"

"As you have just seen, even the first valet of Madame Loris's family personally sent an invitation to that Carl Rowland, and it is clear that he has a close relationship with the mermaid family...... You idiot, it's obviously a struggle between the mermaid family and the Wave Trident family, and you just ran headlong into ......"

When Carl heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little speechless, he was just beating up a little guy who came up to provoke for no reason, how could it suddenly become a struggle between the mermaid family and the wave trident family! The imagination of these onlookers is too rich!
