It is precisely because of this that many young and beautiful girls are eager for such banquets, and many people who usually don't even dare to think about it can chat and dance with them in an approachable way, and if you are lucky, you may be able to climb from the bottom of society to the top overnight, and you can live a good life for a long time if you are a little closer.

"Let me tell you, this kind of banquet is like a huge hunting ground for girls, full of all kinds of game, and enough to eat for a long time. Evely held a crystal cup in her hand and smiled to Kane, who looked calm next to her.

Kane's face didn't change, and he was about to say something when he heard a voice coming.

"Then I wonder if Miss Evely has found her target?"

The two turned their heads and saw a noble young man standing next to them, who was naturally Henry.

"Your Excellency is... Henry?" The two had apparently not seen each other in a long time, and Evely looked up and down for a moment before recognizing him.

Henry nodded slightly, turned his head to look at Kane next to him, his eyes stayed on the Leitt family crest on his chest for a few seconds before looking at Evely again, and the corners of his mouth raised and said, "Miss Evely seems to have forgotten me, who is this next to me?"

Both stood up, and Evely smiled, "This is my friend Kane. Then he introduced to Kane: "This is Henry, the second son of the Jones family, and we studied together at the Holy Light Academy back then. ”

Kane smiled and saluted him, but Henry didn't mean to return the salute, but just said to Evely, "Can you please sit with me?"

Evely didn't blame him for his actions, still smiling on her face, "It's not an honor." ”

Henry nodded and walked to Evely's other side and sat down, Kane said playfully, "Then you talk, I'll go around." ”

Henry didn't say anything, but Evely said a little embarrassed.

Kane nodded slightly and walked to the table on the other side of the hall with a glass of wine, guessing in his heart what the son of the Jones family was, from the tone of Evely's introduction just now, it was not difficult to see that this should not be a big man, but he obviously did not know Evely's true identity.

"The Jones family..."Kane muttered, he hadn't heard of this name before, either he was lonely and unheard, or this family should have just emerged, judging from the style of the son of Henry, I am afraid that their family's power here is not too bad, and it seems that he must improve the intelligence network.

It's just that it's not easy for a city like Saint Laurent to fully understand it, each field of influence has its own circle, and many circles may not be able to get into it even if they have money, unless they can buy people in a circle, it is difficult to get really useful information no matter how much effort they spend.

The problem is that people who have reached this level are not so easy to buy, money may be just a pale number to them, and as for the wine woman, I have never heard of any rich and powerful person who lacks this.

Kane thought for a while and simply didn't want to, not to mention those intricate circles of influence at the moment, he didn't quite understand what was in front of him, and he didn't know why Evely brought him to such a boring banquet.

"It's better not to be the kind of all-night dance!" Kane looked at the more and more people in the hall, and sighed helplessly, if that is the case, the matter on the other side will be delayed, thinking that he is really busy enough!

"Why, don't you have a dance partner?" Suddenly, a pleasant female voice came from the side.

Kane looked up and saw that there was a beautiful girl standing next to him at some point, not that there was a problem with his perception, but that there was no need to perceive anything on this occasion.

The girl was wearing a white dress, her figure looked a little tall, and her appearance naturally didn't have to be said, Kane smiled slightly, "The place is too big and scattered, and the young lady doesn't seem to have a dance partner, so she is also here to hunt?"

"Hunting?" the girl was surprised at first, then smiled, "I usually wait for the prey to come to the door by itself." ”

Kane was not interested, but suddenly found that this girl's conversation was interesting, if nothing else, it was probably a character, and he smiled when he heard this, "So we are the same kind of people." ”

Amused by his words, the girl lifted the cup in her hand, "Katie." ”

Kane smiled and touched her, "Kane. ”

"Kane?" the girl had a puzzle in her eyes.

Kane nodded, "Kane Reiter." ”

Of course, there was no need for him to hide his family, because the chance that the girl in front of him had heard this name was less than 1 in 10,000.

Sure enough, Katie's face returned to flat after thinking for a while, obviously not having heard the name, "You're Jason's friend?"

Kane shook his head, Jason Sean was the owner of this mansion, that is, the young man in the black gown outside the door.

"A friend of mine knows him, and I was piggybacked. ”

Katie smiled again, "So you're here to hunt." ”

Kane looked calm, "You can say that, and it looks like I hunted a good prey, no, in your words, there should be a good prey delivered to the door by itself." ”

Katie laughed and said, "It seems that you don't go to banquets like this very often, at least you don't know how to talk to girls." ”

Kane nodded, "It's true that I rarely participate, and to tell you the truth, when I stood here alone just now, I felt like I was in hell." ”

Katie looked at him with more interest, "And what do you usually do?"

Kane smiled slightly, "Fighting is my forte, and when I don't fight, I study something on my own." ”

Katie seemed to be used to his chatting style, and her smile was much more restrained, "For example?"

"For example, how do you win? ”

Katie sneered, only to feel that the flesh on her face was about to stiffen with laughter when she stood with him for a while, and it was undeniable that this guy she had never seen before was indeed quite interesting, at least more interesting than the other guys at this banquet with green eyes.

Kane shook his head and took a sip of his wine, which seemed like a joke, but a few people could understand the meaning.

Katie laughed for a while and finally stopped, raised her glass and said, "Okay, then I'll wish you in advance that you can win every time." ”

Kane touched her, "Actually, I would rather there be no more enemies, but thank you." ”

Katie smiled and nodded, and drank with him.

"The enemy is coming. Kane whispered suddenly.

Katie was a little puzzled, suddenly heard someone behind her calling her name, turned around and saw a handsome young man walking over with a glass of wine, it was Henry.

However, Henry's eyes were not on her, but on Kane, and he couldn't tell whether he was looking at or targeting.

Kane ignored it, said let's talk, and walked in Evely's direction.

Henry looked at his back for a moment before he said to Katie, "You know him?"

Katie seemed a little unkind to him, and said with a flat face: "A friend." ”

Henry's brows furrowed slightly, "I see you're smiling a lot, I don't know what you're talking about?"

Katie casually picked up the wine on the table and poured herself a glass, "He's not always nice like you." ”

Henry's face became more and more gloomy, but for a moment he regained his composure and talked to her about something else.

Here Kane walked over to Evely and sat down, placing the empty cup in his hand on the table in front of him, "Who was that person just now?"

Evely smiled and put her arm around him, "What, jealous?"

Kane snorted, "I may have one more enemy." ”

Evely was stunned for a moment, then smiled again, "Even Austin can only stare at you, and other young people are even less qualified to be your opponents." ”

Kane was noncommittal, "Tell me where he came from." ”

Evely took his arm with one hand and poured him a new glass of wine with the other, "It's nothing, his grandfather used to be the prime minister of the Wright Empire, but he passed away a few years ago, his father inherited his grandfather's dukedom, although the whole family still has a bit of foundation, but the general trend has gone, and it is not a threat to you at all, even if his grandfather is still alive, the service is limited to this empire, and it is not at the same level as you." ”

"But this Henry looks like a character, at least much stronger than his father and brother, but because of the fault line of his father's generation, it is not so easy to get up. ”

Kane was a little stunned, "Is there anything else in this world that you don't know?"

Evely grinned, "You are different from them, you started with extraordinary strength, although this method is very difficult in the early stage, but once you have a firm foothold, it is difficult to be shaken, and they are purely based on strategy and power, although it seems to be more clever, but also more precarious, once there is a mistake in some area, it is very likely to be lost." ”

Kane turned to look at her and said, "Then what are you bringing me here for?"

Evely smiled, "I have my intentions, but I can't tell you for now, and I think you should try to get used to this kind of occasion if you really want to get close to the core of power." ”

Kane was a little speechless, "All I saw was a room full of sparkling hunters and hypocritical prey. ”

Evely handed him the wine on the table, "You only see hypocrisy, but you don't see the chain of interests hidden behind hypocrisy, of course, this level of banquet is only the outermost, you can treat it as a trainee." ”

"Is it so mysterious?" Kane clinked glasses with her, lifted his wine and drank it down.

Evely took a sip lightly, looking a little hated for iron not being made of steel, "Then I'll give you the simplest example, do you see the couple over there?"
