Melodious bells ringing by the sea, night falls in the harbor of Haynes, the sea and the sky are connected in a deep royal blue, and the Burj Al Arab is brightly lit like a giant cruise ship that will never sink.

The scale of tonight's banquet is not small, almost all the celebrities and nobles of Haines City, one luxury carriage after another drove into the Burj Al Arab Hotel, gentlemen and ladies showed off their own style, people greeted each other in various places, and for a time, a scene of ukiyo-e of the high society of Haines Port was interpreted.

Celebrities pay the most attention to circles, different large and small circles, some contain, some overlap, and some intersect, they distinguish their bloodlines by circles, divide their levels by circles, and determine their identities by circles.

So, there were two outliers in the crowd, Charlie and Brian walked into the hotel, their eyes did not squint, although they could not be distinguished by people at a glance from their clothes, but seeing that they were unnoticed all the way, they knew that they were inconspicuous little characters.

The ballroom is located on the top deck of the Burj Al Arab, which is a duplex with a large indoor ballroom with a dance floor and bar on the lowest floor, and a multi-purpose hall on the middle floor, with a lounge facing the sea to the north and a large curved floor-to-ceiling window that offers a panoramic view of the sea.

Half of the upper floor is a terrace facing the harbor of Hennes to avoid the harsh sea breeze, while in the center is a sunroom enclosed by floor-to-ceiling glass for a multi-purpose relaxation, and on the north side there is a small protruding balcony that embraces the sea with railings.

While setting up the carriage, Charlie and Costa became separated, meaning he could hardly find any acquaintances.

Most of the gentlemen with wine glasses and gorgeously dressed ladies in the hall did not know each other, Charlie could recognize some of the Pavel family, but since the last time Charlie and the acting head of the family Brad had a falling out, coupled with the unpleasant experience of the past ten years, they did not want to see each other.

It was not yet time for free time, so everyone gathered in a small banquet hall on the south side of the bottom of the top platform, where people gathered in twos and threes, chatting and laughing and whispering while taking food and wine.

Charlie stood in the crowd, looking around, a little lonely.

In fact, there are many celebrities who see this outstanding existence in the crowd, their eyes light up, but they see him alone, and feel that he is not at the level enough, and they feel sorry, unless they are accosted by the initiative, otherwise, they will not take the initiative to contact Charlie, of course, except for a very small number of courtesans who hunt for beauty.

Charlie politely declined the accosting of several beautiful women with heavy makeup, and the etiquette he learned since childhood indirectly showed his level, in exchange for the same muttering of several beautiful women, "Hmph! ”

Brian opened a bottle of red wine and said with a smile, "Do you see an acquaintance?"

"There are a few, but they don't know me!"

Brian handed him a glass of wine, "Of course, from appearance to body shape, to temperament, the young master has changed drastically, he is much more energetic and handsome than before, and it is normal not to recognize it." ”

As soon as the words fell, a timid voice responded to Brian's exclamation.

"Excuse me...... Are you Charlie?"

Charlie was stunned, looked up, and saw a girl about 18 years old standing in front of her, wearing a light white triangular checkered dress, with a pair of light green shoes, slim, clear and bright eyes with some doubts, some fear and a little expectation.

Winnie Sweet.

Viscount Sweet's beloved daughter, a former girlfriend of Charlie, the two had a brief relationship, which ended with Charlie's empathy farewell, of course, the most important reason is because Charlie got her, and what he got was not so cherished.

The Sweet family is a declining aristocracy, an old aristocrat in Haynes City, very conservative, and has a lot of rules, Winnie's loss made his father very angry, scolded Charlie for being lewd, scolded her for being indecent, lost the face of the Sweet family, and almost forced her to death, the story of the two once caused a stir in the city, and was finally forcibly suppressed by the Pavel family, becoming a bright spot in the disgraceful past of "Charlie".

Charlie involuntarily had a name and a piece of information in his mind, which was a love debt owed by "Charlie", but he had to bear it.

"Yes. Charlie sighed secretly, smiled back, and said, "Winnie, long time no see, are you okay?"

Brian held his glass, pursed his lips, and quietly paced to the side.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not here to pester you today. Winnie lowered her head, combed the hair on her cheeks, and said: "I just came in, I saw your back, I felt a little familiar, and asked casually, I didn't expect it to be you, your changes are quite big, which makes people feel a little strange, but now you look very sunny, very healthy, and much more handsome than before!"

"Yes, thank you!" Charlie kept a warm smile, picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and said sincerely: "I was immature before, I did a lot of wrong things, and I still owe you an apology, I'm sorry for you, I made you suffer a lot!"

At that moment, Charlie seemed to see something quietly melt in her eyes, her eyes were moist, and she stubbornly wanted to endure it, as if there was a momentary impulse to pounce, but she resisted.

At this moment, a male voice amplified by magic sounded in the hall, instantly shattering the charming style here, and the man opened his mouth after briefly trying the sound effect.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Crowley, the editor-in-chief of the Millennium Magic Newspaper, and it is a great honor to have you here today for the second anniversary of the Millennium Magic Newspaper, and I hope we can bring you a pleasant and memorable evening.

Millennium Magic Newspaper, created by Princess Elsa in Haines City, originally chose this place as the starting point because Haines City is the largest, most prosperous and most open port city of the Millennium Empire, and it is precisely because of this background that the Haines people are the most receptive to new things in the Millennium Empire, and in this regard, they are much stronger than the Imperial Capital people.

Newspapers are an emerging medium proposed by Princess Elsa, which carries the expectations of Princess Elsa, and it has many advantages, it can convey topics of interest to everyone very quickly, and it can especially make a significant contribution to scholarship.

For example, the "Princeson Hierarchy" that has recently caused a sensation in the magic world of the entire continent, it can sweep the entire continent at such a rapid speed, and the thousand-year-old magic has contributed a lot, for which His Majesty is very happy.

Reality has proven the role of the newspaper, and it took us two years not only to make people accept this new thing, but also to make it an inseparable part of people's lives, which is the credit of all the employees of the Millennium Magic Newspaper and the embodiment of Princess Elsa's vision.

I would also like to thank all of you for your support, for all the help you provided in the early days of the Millennium Magic Newspaper, thank you!"

The scene erupted in applause one after another.

"Now I would like to ask Princess Elsa to share some of her thoughts. ”

And so, the applause that had just fallen silent rang out again, especially the young people, who were looking forward to seeing Princess Elsa's demeanor.

Gradually, the light in the ballroom dimmed.

A beam of bright light fell from the sky, falling at the door of the hall, an unusually beautiful girl appeared in everyone's field of vision, ivory-like skin in the white light slightly glowing with a layer of glory, she was as cold as ice, her eyes were level ahead, but it made people feel that she was looking down on all beings, her temperament was arrogant and luxurious, which made people involuntarily feel ashamed of themselves, and the celebrities and beauties in the hall were like clouds, and they were not worth mentioning in front of her.

Winnie sighed softly and said, "What a beautiful woman in the city, no wonder you are crazy about her." ”

Charlie smiled bitterly and replied, "If I say that I was framed, do you believe me?"

Winnie smiled, "I believe it!"

"Just believe it, no wonder it's so easy to be deceived. ”

Winnie smiled, turned to look at him, and said, "That's your charm! ”

Charlie raised his eyebrows and smiled, but he looked a little reserved.

Winnie couldn't help but sigh: "You have really changed a lot. ”

Suddenly, a dark shadow burst into the field of vision of the two, raised a fist, and struck Charlie on the cheek.

In the moment when Winnie was distracted and had no time to make a sound, Charlie had already calculated the trajectory, landing point and power of the fist, which was easy to avoid with his speed.

Then, Charlie saw an angry face, the face of a middle-aged man, it was Viscount Sweet.

Charlie restrained his body's dodge reflex, stood in place, and took his punch alive.

Bang!

There was a dull sound of flesh and skin, Charlie was beaten to the point that his head was tilted, his mouth was knocked on his teeth, the skin was broken, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Daddy, what are you doing?!" Winnie interrupted Princess Elsa's statement with a startled exclamation.

There was an uproar in the hall, and people turned back in surprise to search for the location of the accident.

"Charlie, you dare to seduce my daughter! Do you think I won't dare to beat you?" Viscount Sweet's angry roar echoed throughout the hall, his neck clenched, his fists clenched, and his body trembled slightly, perhaps from excitement.

Winnie retorted loudly, "I took the initiative to find Charlie, and he apologized to me just now, don't you be so gaffe, okay?!"

Sweet glanced at her coldly, "What do you mean to pass? Can you get back what you lost? At this time, you still defend him, you are really a shameless woman!"

A rebuke made Winnie's face pale, and her whole body trembled slightly.

Sweet didn't seem to think it was sharp enough, and added, "Not only do you not know shame, you don't have a brain!

"Oh!

"I dare to interrupt Princess Elsa's speech, tomorrow is the front page headline!"

"Yes! It happened at the celebration banquet of the Millennium Magic Newspaper, and a best-selling gift was given to the newspaper!

There were sighs in the hall, some sympathy, and some laughing at the farce.
