Chapter Twenty-Three: The Banquet Begins
However, Barron is not lying, after all, Viscount House has the strength of a mid-level knight, judging from the simple temptation just now, just in terms of strength attributes, Viscount House's attributes are at least 2 times that of Barron, and this is not counting other attribute values.
I just don't know what the real combat power of the intermediate knight is?
"Haha, don't flatter each other either, the banquet is about to start, let's go in first. Old Johnny smiled as if he hadn't seen Viscount House's temptation of Barron, and gave the two of them a round.
"Yes, let's go in first. Viscount House also seemed to notice his recklessness, patted his head and said.
"By the way, Barron doesn't know if you'd like to join our vigilante brigade? I'll give you the position of sheriff adjutant. As soon as Viscount House turned around, such a sentence suddenly popped up.
This made Barron stunned suddenly, he didn't expect Viscount House to start poaching people in front of old Johnny, what is the situation?
"House, you old fellow, actually poaching people in front of me, this is not good, Barron is from our Chamber of Commerce. Old Johnny didn't expect that Viscount House would poach people in front of him, but his city government made him not angry, but helped Barron get back from Viscount House for the first time.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, professional habits, seeing such a young and promising talent, I can't help but want to try, it's me who is too reckless. Viscount House immediately admitted his mistake and dismissed his words as if they were a joke.
"Haha, House scared me a lot just now, my old bones can't stand your scare. Then old Johnny and Viscount House arrived at the banquet hall as if nothing had happened.

"Viscount Carter, welcome. ”
"Count Harold, I didn't expect you to come so early. ”
"Earl Delhi, I heard that you have recently reaped a great harvest from the auction of the royal capital. ”
Barron followed behind Old Johnny, watching Old Johnny greet the nobles in the banquet hall one by one with his wine glass, and some of them even stopped to chat with each other. It seems that the nobles in the entire hall have a good relationship with old Jonny.
Barron, who was following old Jonny, felt only boredom and hypocrisy, and the entire banquet hall was filled with hypocrisy, and everyone wore a mask called hypocrisy, hiding their true side behind the mask.
But it doesn't matter to him, he has only one task, and that is to protect old Jonny closely.
"Sir Johnny, Lord Viscount House has informed you that the time is almost up, please come with me. A waiter walked up to old Johnny and whispered to old Johnny.
Old Johnny nodded his head to indicate that he understood, and after apologizing to the few people who had spoken to him, he followed the waiter to the rostrum of the banquet.
"Ahem!" Old Johnny stood on the rostrum, coughed lightly a few times, and focused everyone's attention on him before he spoke again.
"First of all, thank you for being able to come here to participate in the banquet organized by our Chamber of Commerce, and secondly, thank you to Viscount House who provided the banquet venue for our Chamber of Commerce. Old Johnny raised his glass and gestured to Viscount House in the distance, who returned the salute.
"I will call everyone today just to announce a good news of our Chamber of Commerce, that is, the Ending City Branch of the Jonny Chamber of Commerce has been officially established today!" Old Jonny was full of red light at this time, "A few years ago, due to various reasons, the End City Branch of our Jonny Chamber of Commerce was forced to close, but now it has finally been established today!"
Immediately, there was a round of applause from the audience, and it seemed that everyone was applauding for this.
"The Chamber of Commerce of the Ending City of the Johnny Chamber of Commerce, at the beginning of its establishment, will uphold the principle of integrity and fair trade......" When the old Johnny was talking on the rostrum, looking forward to the future development direction of the branch, a group of people in the east of the banquet looked at the old Johnny and sneered.
"Old Johnny, how dare this old dog establish a chapter in Ending City, has he forgotten what happened five years ago?" someone in the crowd said coldly.
Of course he won't forget, but he was just a stray wild dog before. Now that he has finally found his owner and has become a domestic dog, the owner has asked him to come out and bite, so he must come out to bite. The other man was not at all polite to old Jonny.
"So what do we do now?"
"The dog owner hasn't come out yet, so what are we anxious about? The leader of the crowd seemed to have come to a conclusion, and the rest of the people didn't say anything more, and all of them fell silent, watching old Jonny's performance coldly.
But before Old Johnny could finish speaking, the waiter at the banquet suddenly came out and interrupted Old Johnny's speech.
"Count Mex, the lord of Ending City, has arrived. ”
With the announcement of the banquet waiter, a thin but gorgeously dressed man walked into the banquet hall under the guidance of the waiter, and then dozens of guards behind him immediately began to take over the security of the banquet hall.
Although Barron was far away, his better eyesight allowed him to see that the man who came in had a Mediterranean hairstyle, triangular eyes, a tall olecranon nose and thin lips, making him seem not to be an atmospheric person, and the city lord Mix, who was at least in his early 50s, actually had a thick layer of white foundation on his face, so that Barron could not look directly.
With the arrival of Mex, the city lord of the Curtain City, the originally quiet banquet began to be lively again, and all kinds of whispers spread quietly in the banquet room.
"Why is the city lord here?"
"I don't know, I didn't expect the connections behind the Jonny Chamber of Commerce to be so strong, even the city lord can invite a banquet. ”
The unsuspecting nobles were discussing why the lord had arrived, and only the faces of the crowd on the east side of the banquet changed, and they found that the development of events seemed to be a little unexpected to them.
"I didn't expect him to come too. ”
"It's for old Johnny's old dog. ”
"The dog owner has also appeared, so what should we do?"
"Wait and see what tricks they have, no matter what conspiracy they have, whether it should be ours or ours, if they want to destroy our interests, it will not be difficult for what happened five years ago to happen again. ”
"But no matter what, I will let White and them get ready, and you will immediately order the people below to pay attention, and you must be vigilant during this time, maybe there will be a big change in the end city this time. When the rest of the men heard what the leader had said, they immediately called for their own guards or servants, and conveyed all the orders of the leader.
