"Oh, okay then."

Luna hung up the phone and sat down on the couch in the living room. After a while, she got up, dressed, and went to the garage. Alex was in the car checking the on-board computer, and Luna went straight into the car.

"I'm going to the hospital."

Alex immediately stopped what he was doing. "Yes Miss."

Luna sighed as she watched the garage door slowly rise. The person on the other side of the phone just now—Cavendish politely and coldly declined her invitation, and let her plans for a night's trip come to fruition. The reason for the other party was that there was a temporary consultation. Well, the doctor can't stop after work, and Luna understands. What she didn't understand was why Cavendish had so many "temporary" jobs.

Luna is constantly reviewing herself, reviewing every detail. Since Valentine's Day, there seems to be an invisible wall between her and Cavendish separating the two. Although he has the heart to deepen his understanding, he has no choice but that the other party does not appreciate it very much. She has heard these reasons several times when she is too busy at work and has something to do in the hospital. A month passed, and she and Cavendish met less and less frequently, and the time became shorter and shorter, and then they all had a meal together and left, not much to talk about, let alone get to know better.

Alex captures Luna's expression as always. "Miss, do you have something on your mind?"

"No, let's go."

The car started, drove out of the garage, made two turns, and got onto the road. There weren't a few cars ahead, Alex asked again.

"You don't have a class today, have you been rejected by Young Master Zoluz again?"

"It's none of your business." Luna looked up.

"With all due respect, miss, this person is too unreliable, hot and cold."

"You're commenting again......"

"Could it be that Mademoiselle approves of his reasons? That's a clear lie. ”

Luna was silent.

Does Cavendish hate himself? Luna had this hunch, and even Widkan agreed with her daughter. A good beginning is half the battle, but he can't see what the other half will end up with. Widkan never expected this to turn out like this. It stands to reason that Luna and Cavendish got married because Headley proposed it first, so he didn't have to worry too much about this kind of accident, and he didn't need to worry about the other party regretting it.

Still, he wanted to help his daughter—not because of the hospital, but because of the undisguised smile that Luna had shown at the dinner table after her first date with Cavendish that he hadn't seen in a long time.

As for Cavendis's father, Headley, he was also deeply disappointed with his son's performance. There is a saying that twisted melons are not sweet, but he hopes that his son can at least explain the reason. Suddenly Cavendish became so unincapable that he could not even hear his own words.

Fortunately, the two fathers had a chance. On May 2, they had already agreed to make a final effort on this day.

May 2 is Luna's birthday. In previous years, she spent time with her classmates or family. This year, Widkan decided to break the bank once and do it big.

Two months ago, he went to the city's best hotel, Shan Fiella, to charter the banquet hall. However, reservations for the banquet hall have been scheduled for June. He worked hard to find the person who chartered the venue on the night of May 2, and it took three days to grind and grind, plus a lot of liquidated damages and compensation, and finally snatched this key session.

After securing the venue, Vidkan was introduced by a friend and brought in the well-known celebration team "Pink Breath" in Kuaiser to design the entire birthday party. In addition to the general banquet, a dance party is arranged. The layout of the venue, the equipment, and the design of the stage are all done to the highest standards. When the other party asked for a sum of money, Widkan almost didn't ask in detail, and just agreed.

The deal went very smoothly. The person in charge of "Pink Breath", a woman with a model figure, was in a good mood, and immediately said that Luna's dress could also be made by them, and the price was discounted by 20%, 160,000 yuan. Widkan gave the original price on the condition that it would be a step up from the original standard.

With the venue, with the team, in the end, it is time to find someone to support the show. Widkan used all the connections at his disposal to invite guests everywhere. But if you have some contacts, please come and ask for it. Some people are basically just a one-sided relationship with Vidkan, and they have also received his invitations. For two months, Vidkan kept preparing. Everything is not only to make her daughter's face shine, but also to save the relationship between the two young people.

Naturally, Cavendish was invited, and he had been frustrated for the past three months, regretting that he had been indecisive at the time, and why he hadn't reported it earlier. After that day, Talanath became a completely honest man, and no matter how much Cavendish observed and followed, he could not find any flaws, but instead delayed his work several times and was severely reprimanded by Headley.

The blame of his father, the burden of work, the pressure on Cavendish was greater than ever. He wanted to decline the invitation, but at Headley's request, he had to show up.

Chanfila's reputation in the restaurant industry is similar to that of the University of Cousser in the academic world. It has a banquet hall on the first and second floors, which are entirely prepared for banquets and are decorated in gold. The ballroom on the first floor also has a dance hall that can accommodate 1,000 people, which is the main venue for Luna's birthday party.

In terms of the layout of the venue, according to the requirements of Widkan, the style of the Fifth Empire of Tuya Tesla was adopted, and one of the three major decorative woods - Blue Valley wood was used as the main body for decoration and decoration. This brown wood, when exposed to light at a certain angle, glows a faint blue from the inside out, which is amazing. The tables, chairs, and stage in the venue are all made of Blue Valley wood. Once the dance begins, the lights from the eight-meter-high ceiling will immerse the entire venue in a sea of pale blue.

The main entrance on the south side of the venue is connected to the lobby on the first floor, and there are several small doors on the east and west sides to lead to two corridors on the periphery of the venue, and seven small rooms are arranged in the corridors for guests to rest or change clothes. The two corridors meet on the north side, where there is a back door to the parking lot.

May is the best season in Vidi. The breath of spring allows people to change into their favorite dresses and show their charm in public. Just after 7 p.m., guests dressed in various costumes appeared one after another. Wearing a black tuxedo, Widkan personally stood outside the hotel and greeted every guest with a smile.

Most of the people who came came were known to him, and there were some people who were unfamiliar and didn't know each other, and they all came with their acquaintances. They were welcome as warmly as they were. After sending nearly 100 people in, he saw the faces he wanted to see.

"Welcome, Headley."

"Thank you, Vidkan."

Two good friends met and hugged each other. Headley wore a gray gown that matched his gray hair. Cavendish stood beside him, and the lad seemed to be in a more average mood today, smiling reluctantly as he shook Widkan's hand. Widkan exchanged a few nonchalant words with Cavendish in a casual exchange. Then he saw that there were three more people behind them.

"I'll introduce them later." Headley said.

Widkan nodded, shook hands with the three men one by one, and watched them enter the venue. He hadn't seen any of the three, Rhea, Ivor and Talanath.

Talenath is a little clever, Cavendish knows. My father often visited the hospital, and sometimes when he walked to the pharmacy in the C section of the internal medicine department, Talanath would put down what he was doing and come up to report endlessly. I have to say that his words were very shrewd, which may have left his father with the impression that "this person is quite clever". Hearing that she was going to cheer for Luna, Taranat volunteered.

However, Cavendish was also somewhat relieved that he could spy on him at close range. Although Talanath hasn't behaved strangely since the powder disappeared, something is definitely going on today. Talanat, who usually only guards one acre and three points of land, is unusually unusual, and takes the initiative to follow, there must be something hidden. If you create an environment yourself, you might be able to grab him by the tail.

In the room, Headley found a few acquaintances, struck up a conversation with them, and asked Cavendish to say hello to them. After exchanging social rhetoric, Cavendish took the opportunity to make a request.

"Father, I'm a little unwell and want to go and take a break."

"Okay son, don't be tired." Headley said, "Tarannath, you go with you." ”

It's really dozing off and running into a pillow, Cavendish thought. He could use this opportunity to leave Talanath alone in the room, and then use what Jim had given him - he hid it in his coat pocket - to make Talanath appear.

Cavendish didn't know, and Talanath thought the same way: what a coincidence.

Three off-road vehicles weaved through the streets of Cousser and marched in a line for half an hour. They departed from a hotel in the city centre and arrived in the northern suburbs of Cousser. There is a construction site that has been suspended for a long time, and it is dark all around. Only one of the main doors was lit up.

Outside, a few people were smoking cigarettes and chatting. When they saw the headlights approaching, they became alert. There were also several people standing by the window, all with their guns raised and pointed at the cars. The three cars stopped in front of the house, and the people inside got out of the car together. As soon as the guards saw what the men were wearing, they recognized them as members of the Black Troop and lowered their guns.

One of them, with a crooked hat and a cigarette butt in his mouth, was the leader of the guards, Oin. He shook his head and stepped forward, and when he saw a man in a white coat getting out of the car, he immediately smiled.

"Yo, isn't this Mr. Baird? How did you get here? ”

At the lead was Baird, with seven men standing behind him, all wearing blue and black combat uniforms with the word "BF" on the back of the clothes. Baird looked at the people at the window, and they all went back to drinking.

"I'll check your condition," Baird said to Oin, "and I'm going to need a favor from Taranath tonight, and I've heard he's got an army here for emergencies, so I'm going to take a look." ”

"That's what happened," Oin nodded, taking a drag on his cigarette, "Boss, he didn't tell us anything. ”

"I'll tell him that there could be a fight."

"Hah, that's interesting."

"So I want to ask, are all your people here? Is it ready to go? ”

Oein's coherent tone broke for a moment. Taranath had instructed that when someone from the Black Army asked about him, he should be careful to answer correctly, and it was better to keep his mouth shut. But asking about the number of people is always not leaking, right? Besides, Oin didn't want to offend Baird—he would want to work in the Black Army in the future.

"Don't worry, Mr. Baird," said Oin, patting his chest and smirkingly, "twenty-five men, seven cars, all here. Although the boss hasn't moved for a long time, if you use it now, we promise not to drop the chain! ”

Baird mentally calculated a set of numbers, habitually checked them twice, and yes, the answer was the same as Euin's. He grinned.

"I'm relieved, Mr. Oin, thank you."

The sound of a gunshot alarmed everyone in the room, and some of them were hit by bullets and fell to the ground as soon as they showed their heads. There was chaos in the room, and the seven men that Baird had brought rushed in, followed by gunfire.

Baird looked at the house in front of him with a blank face, and glanced down at Oin again—he had been shot in the stomach by the first shot, and he was unsteady on his feet, sitting on the ground with a pained and puzzled expression. He didn't know where or why the shot came from.

After a minute, the gunfire stopped one after another. After another minute, seven soldiers came out one after the other.

"Report to the captain, all 24 people in the house, all wiped out."

"Good work," Baird replied, smiling at Oin again. Oin was so frightened by this face that he couldn't bear it, the sweat on his forehead turned into a trickle, his mouth was open and he couldn't speak, and he couldn't even feel the pain. Baird crouched down so that he could have a normal conversation with Oin.

"Mr. Oin, if Taranath calls me in a moment, you know what to say, right?"

The trembling Ouin was stunned for a moment, and immediately nodded like a chicken eating rice.

"Very well, bring him in."

The two soldiers threw Oin back into the house and onto the couch, and Baird followed. As soon as he entered the house, Oin's cell phone rang. He didn't dare to take it, but looked at Baird. Baird pulled out Oin's phone and looked at it.

"Tarannath, ...... so soon"

He looked at Oin, and the boy was about to stop breathing.

"You can't talk normally like this, I'll help you calm down."

Baird took out a plastic bag containing the needle, took out the needle, and asked two of his men to hold Oein down, and despite the latter's wails of fear, they forcibly stuck the needle in his neck.

The clear fluid in the needle tube became less and less, and Oin's emotions calmed down incredibly, and his head was dizzy, as if he was drunk. Baird called him to answer the phone, and he obediently pressed the answer button and put the phone to his ear.

"What's wrong, boss?"

Oin's tone was not much different from usual, with a hint of mechanicality in his arrogance, answering Talanath's words from time to time.

"Don't worry, boss, everything is normal on our side...... Okay, call if you need to, we're always ready to go...... See you later. ”

"Is it Talanaut's call?" Baird asked.

"Yes......" Oin said in a daze, as if he were dreaming now, answering the questions of others instinctively.

"What did he say?"

“…… Ready, assembled......"

"Mark me the location."

Baird handed over a map. Oin searched for a long time before drawing a rough location. Baird handed the map to one of his soldiers.

"Check it out right away."

"Yes, Captain," replied the soldier, "now that you know the location, would you like to contact the gopher again?" ”

"There's no need, just wait for him to get in touch. Speaking of which, did you find the contact information of the person I asked you to check last time? ”

"We found out, and we intercepted several of his calls and confirmed that they were correct."

"Show me."
