Chapter 509: The Real Time Bomb (Part II)
"Of course we know, the Vantas family, but you can't enter the family feast without an invitation, two guests." Che and Qin Yue stopped a carriage, and the coachman said to them.
"Oooh. Well, don't worry, someone will 'invite' us in. Che couldn't suppress the smile on his face, and there was something special in it.
In Qin Yue's eyes, Che is now the time bomb.
"Sister Yiqing, why only talk to me and not to talk to Senior Che, now it's Senior Che who is going to make trouble at all, not me." Qin Yue pursed her lips and thought indignantly. Especially when I thought that Yi Qing and Che both said the same thing with the same face and the same tone, I was a little angry, but looking back, Yi Qing had a weird smile when she told her about it, maybe from the beginning Yi Qing knew that it was Che who would cause trouble, not her.
"Huh?! Do you have a way to get an invitation? This surprised the driver.
Che immediately put away his meaningful expression and replied, "Actually, I just said it casually, it would be great if there was such good luck to meet such a kind person." However, since we are here for sightseeing, it should be enough to see outside. β
That's a nice thing to say. Qin Yue complained silently.
The groom was not suspicious, for he had no idea that anyone would dare to do anything at the door of the Ventas family.
"But I'm curious, do they hold family dinners every once in a while?" Che continued to lead the conversation.
The groom smiled and said, "Their high-ranking slave owners are completely different from us commoners of the slave owner class who have no money to buy slaves. β
The people on the planet Slev have their own numbers, which are divided into slave ranks and slave owner ranks. But not everyone in the slave-owning class could afford slaves. Even on the planet Sref, slaves are a luxury item of high value.
"I saw it today, the ...... The lady named Sue whipped her slave with a leather whip in public. It seems that everyone is used to it. β
"It's not uncommon to whip slaves or something, but you've seen herβSue, who was known as the cold-faced queen of business when she was young, then you must have met Mr. Wayne too. The two of them are two of the most promising in the Ventas family's generation. However, in addition to their strength, they still relied on their daughter to sit on something that others didn't dare to think of. β
"Huh?" That mean woman is so famous, no, I should say that I didn't expect to encounter such an interesting thing on the road! It seems that he has seen a big celebrity on Planet Sref.
Qin Yue's interest also came. Gossip and gossip: "What are they doing with their daughters?" β
"Huh. relied on his daughter to bring down the once biggest ally and biggest competitor - the Odegaste family. β
"Huh?! Relying on my daughter, how did I do it, I'm curious. Che looked strange.
The groom scratched his head: "Actually, it's just rumors." If you really want to talk about it, there are many versions, and the most credible one I hear is that the Odegaste family and the Vantas family were originally allies, so they decided to marry. At that time, the youngest son of the Odegaste family had the best relationship with one of the daughters of the Vantas family. The two naturally had a marriage contract. β
"That'...... Isn't it good? "Che thinks so, although there is no marriage contract and there is no problem, but just like the relationship between the Senate and the Tojo-in family, because Isai is here, so it is very peaceful now, at least Che will not let the Senate calculate the Tojo-in family.
There was a look of pity on the groom's face: "But, now...... Nine out of ten of the slaves you have seen this morning, O guests, are the youngest sons of House Odegast. Perret. β
"What?!" Che was taken aback, if that was the case...... And no wonder. He doesn't look like a slave either.
The groom nodded: "The Vantas family has calculated the Odegaste family. Also with their daughters. The last young master of the Angel Clan, Ackes, likes her very much and pursues her, and as a condition, the Vantas family wants Ex to bring down the Odegaste family. β
"I see. But what ...... What about the two childhood sweethearts who have a marriage contract? Pere and ......" Qin Yue couldn't help but take the initiative to ask, but she didn't know the woman's name.
Marv added: "Ape. Even the name seems to be a match. β
It does feel that way, yes.
"Wait a minute, today's family banquet shouldn't be for this Miss Aipe and the last young master of the Angel Clan, right?" Che interrupted the groom and asked his own question.
"There's nothing wrong with that. The two had been dating for a while before the complete collapse of the Odegaste family, and now that they even had children, the appearance of two or three months in the womb made Ex very happy. The groom answered Che's question.
"How...... How so! Qin Yue's face was unhappy, in her opinion, the young lady named Ai Pei completely betrayed Xinyi, and even betrayed love, just because the other party's status was higher, so she chose him?
Che was calmer: "Then why did the people of the Odegaste family become slaves?" β
"Oh, no, no, no, you misunderstood, guest, although the people of the Odegaste family were brought down, but Pere was the only one who became a slave. I don't know exactly how it happened, but eventually Perret became a slave, and Ax spared the dying Odegaste family. But Perret was not fundamentally a member of the Odegast family from then on. Ma Fu thought about putting the information in the legal category into it, explaining it to Che and Qin Yue.
"......" Qin Yue has nothing to say, and she always feels disgusting. But he still looked at Che, as if to ask if he was still going.
I didn't expect Che to go now, it's super interested.
"Well, I've actually heard someone sigh about this on the road, I heard that the Odegaste family treats employees much better than the Ventas family or something?"
"Yes, from the perspective of others, the Vantas family are ambitious politicians, and the Odegaste family is always thinking about the lower classes, and from this point of view, it is also the reason why Young Master Ex wants to deal with them." The groom couldn't help but sigh, it looked like he might have been blessed by the Odegaste family as well.
Soon, when the galloping carriage was speeding to the territory of the Ventas family, the groom grabbed the horse rope and said in a little panic: "Well, although I don't know whether to say it or not, it is better for you to be careful when playing here." β
"How?" Che doesn't understand, can the Vantas family still eat people?
"I've heard that some people have been trying to riot lately, and those who can't stand being slaves all their lives are going to riot. I have a friend who said he pulled a mysterious person who felt like he had infiltrated an unidentified person, most likely someone from a slave family. Since there is such one, there will be many of them. And today's family dinner for the Ventas family is definitely an opportunity. The groom said cautiously.
Che couldn't help but laugh: "Are you afraid that I will be taken captive by the rioting slaves?" β
"No, I'm worried that a traveler like you with a more erratic identity will be arrested as a terrible person afterwards."
"Oh, scapegoat or something?"
"yes, that's it."
"Understood, thank you so much. This is your reward, no need to look for it. With that, Che handed over the large denomination coin, which far exceeded the fare, into the groom's hand.
"Huh?!" Before the horseman could react, Che had already taken Qin Yue's little hand and left.
"The ...... Isn't it really some kind of awesome character? Speaking of which, he seems to have said that he could get an invitation to the family feast...... Yes...... It can't be someone from the upper echelons of the Angel Clan, right?! "It's a little scary to think about the groom.
But he was completely wrong.
β¦β¦
"Senior Che, are you really going to participate in this family banquet?"
"Well, there's nothing going on anyway, Hua Yang reported that half of the things had been prepared when we were in the carriage, and the other half was more difficult to get and would take some time. Since you're bored, let's join in the fun. Che took Qin Yue's hand and shook it.
"Hmph, I was told not to make trouble before, but in the end, you were the one who wanted to make trouble." Qin Yue was dissatisfied.
"No, no, no, the real ticking time bomb is definitely not me." Che smiled mysteriously.
"Hey, you're saying that the slave revolt that the groom said was really going to happen?"
"Huh? Eh...... Yes, I also witnessed the collapse of slavery, which had been firmly established for so many years. Che's interest seemed to be even higher, but he didn't even mean to reveal any information before that.
"Mo ...... It's really ......" Qin Yue is dissatisfied, but it is really a little exciting to act like this with the car.
###
In front of the super-high-rise building, the flow of people is surging towards a dozen open doors.
Men in black suits stood in front of the various gates, and they needed to check the invitations of all those who entered the venue.
Each guest is then given a special magnetic card, which can only be walked around by sliding through some of the entrances and exits. And there is a limit to the magnetic card. This is to ensure the safety of the entire building.
The flow of people is slow, although everyone standing here is a rich person, but for the slow speed of movement, no one is dissatisfied, one does not dare, and the other is a good opportunity to get to know each other.
"Isn't this Mr. and Mrs. Mora?" A well-dressed young man walked over with a smile on his face.
The two men, known as Mr. and Mrs. Mora, were dressed in black and their faces were covered in black cloth. One of the men heard the young man's accosting, took his wife behind him and asked dissatisfiedly, "Who are you, who do you know us?" (To be continued......)
