Chapter 13: The Prom

With such an opportunity to ascend to the sky, John couldn't help but feel a little moved. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

He didn't care about the half of the $500,000 worth of his fortune, but the title of nobility of the earl, a title canonized by the British royal family and influential throughout the United States and throughout Europe.

With it, there will be a lot of unnecessary troubles in the future, whether it is business or other things.

The carriage moved slowly, anxiously waiting, but Frank's mood strangely calmed down, but the outstretched head still revealed the anxiety in his heart.

Turning a street, a light suddenly appeared in front of me, and the light was mixed with bursts of laughter.

Villa Carlton arrived.

John stepped out of the carriage and glanced up at the castle-like building in front of him, illuminated by the ball.

Colorful ribbons hang on the outer wall, docking each other into a piece, like a colorful dragon under the illumination of the light,

Passing through the outer wall, you will be greeted by rows of bright candle flames, each with a colorful cover on the outside, each with a unique color, different colors perfectly intersect, into a beautiful light, illuminating the night like heaven.

In this situation, John, who has seen many modern opening ceremonies, can't help but stop and watch.

After a while, the two men who had shown the invitation to the doorman came to the door of the villa and followed the servant's guidance to the side room to choose masks.

Hundreds of masks of different styles hung side by side on the wall, dazzling the gaze.

John glanced at it, stepped forward, and took off the black mask with a wolf's head at the top of the first row and put it on his head, while Frank next to him chose a colorful eye mask.

After the two of them had sorted out their costumes, they followed the servant's guidance into the ball hall.

As soon as the curtain opened a crack in the door, which blocked the sound, the noisy atmosphere rushed out like a river bursting its embankment, and for a moment the ears began to roar.

Countless young men and women wearing masks gathered in the hall, dancing, laughing, and talking.

Lights, candlelight, music, food, and colorful decorations continue to bring the atmosphere to a climax.

John exhaled softly, feeling a little uncomfortable, he hadn't participated in this kind of activity for a long time.

And, gradually, he found himself seemingly running into something very embarrassing.

There were a lot of people here, but he didn't know any of them except Frank, and this heartless hairy boy disappeared in an instant after entering the hall, so John didn't even have a familiar guide.

Now it's in trouble.

Looking at the countless small groups in the hall who gathered to talk and laugh, John was a little helpless, asked for a glass of fruit wine, walked up the stairs to the second floor, and sat down at a table next to it.

The bright lights illuminated countless energetic bodies, standing on a high place and looking down, there was no one in their eyes, and only the snow-white ravines imprinted on their chests came into view.

I saw the white ball without seeing my face, and this scene was really wonderful.

John glanced at it casually, and after mentally evaluating the shape, saturation, size, and other data, he turned his gaze to the guards in the passage on the second floor.

Then the disguise of the wine glass, the corner of the eye kept roaming back and forth on these skull-masked guards, observing their demeanor and behavior, and finally following their gaze from time to time, he found the most crucial one among the countless young men and women.

Dressed in a purple dress, tall, with an excellent figure, with a colorful peacock mask, I can't see clearly, but I can still feel an indescribable beauty from those watery eyes.

Grace Louis, daughter of the Count, queen of the ball.

So you're here!

With an inexplicable smile on his face, John picked up his wine glass and took a sip gently,

At that moment, there was a sudden tap on the shoulder, and a girl in a gray rabbit mask jumped in front of her, looking at herself curiously with a pair of beautiful eyes.

"Are you...... John Condon? She said with some uncertainty,

John frowned, not having the slightest effect on the girl in front of him.

"You don't know me, we just met during the day!"

His brows were loosened, and looking at those unique eyes, a familiar feeling came out of his heart, and John spoke,

"You're the girl from the patent office!"

"Hmmm! But I prefer you to call me by my name, I'm Evelyn Jackson. The girl smiled and said, "By the way, what are you doing here?" Isn't it boring? Why don't you go down and dance. ”

"What's the point of dancing with people you don't know?"

"Then you invite me! I happened to be free, and we danced together. ”

Evelyn said excitedly, her eyes were bright, like two jewels, no girl wanted her first ball to be spent alone, she had been hanging down there for a long time, but because of her age and health, no one had asked her to dance, which disappointed her.

John was stunned and glanced at the girl in front of him,

With a body like a hemp rod, a size that was less than his shoulders, and a chest as flat as the Pacific Ocean, he sighed helplessly in his heart, not knowing that the bastard had invited this kind of little girl who had not yet begun to develop.

"Why, you don't want to!" Evelyn's brow furrowed, her eyes nervous.

"Nope!" John shook his head slightly, stretched out his hand and rubbed her hair in a bun that she tied up at random, and said with a smile while rubbing it, "Little girl, you are so young, you can learn to dance with others, and you are not afraid that your father will spank you when he finds out!" ”

"You... You... You... Bastard! ”

Hearing this, the girl instantly exploded, her eyes widened, like an angry little tiger, she just looked small, in fact, she was sixteen years old, but she didn't know what the reason was, she just didn't grow her body, and she usually hated others talking about her the most, and now she was poked at the pain point, how not to be angry,

A heavy nasal sound came out of her mouth, and Evelyn glared at John viciously, turned and walked away.

"Looks like I wanted to say something I shouldn't have said!"

John shrugged, not taking the matter to heart, and took his glass and looked at the people in the hall as he sipped.

He was looking at others, but he didn't know that he had become a target in the eyes of others.

At a window on the third floor, the Witcher siblings who had come here on a mission appeared in the backlit area.

Gretel, who was wearing a fox mask, stabbed her brother next to her and said,

"Do you feel that person is familiar?"

"Which one?"

"The lewd man on the second floor opposite, wearing a black wolf mask and holding a wine glass in his hand, kept aiming at people's chests."

A hint of embarrassment flashed in Hansel's eyes, and he quickly withdrew his eyes that were constantly burrowing into the ravine, coughed lightly, and followed Gretel's guidance, and easily found John leaning against the table,

With such a body shape, such a hair color, and such a look, I can't help but have a name coming out of my heart.

"John Condon!"

"That's right, it's him!" Gretel's eyes lit up, and she said to herself, "This cunning young master is not staying in the manor, what are you doing here, is it possible that you know that we are short of money and came to give us money." ”

Hearing this, Han Seel was speechless for a while, he had only heard that there were thousands of miles to ask for accounts, how could there be thousands of miles to repay the money.

ps: I'm free tomorrow, three more!
