Chapter Seventy-Eight: Carnival Night (4)
The Magic Lift Platform, or the elevator, is still close to reaching the ballroom on the top floor of the Grand Bahamas Hotel, where the Celebration Banquet is held.
"Look, it's three minutes until eight o'clock, just right. In the elevator with only two people, Hinata Naine pointed to the digital clock in her field of vision and said proudly to Li Mengxi.
"It's clear that it's about to catch up. I think it's better to arrive a little early. ”
"Although you say so, aren't the few times you made an appointment with me pinched?"
That's because Li Mengxi originally thought that Hinata Nain would definitely be late and responded, but in fact, only Yangxiju was accidentally hit. Therefore, he absolutely could not say this reason.
"You're good, okay. ”
"I'm already very good!"
As he spoke, the elevator stopped. As the two doors opened left and right, a huge crowd of people waiting in front of the banquet hall was revealed to the two of them. There were a lot of people coming, and the corridor was basically crammed, and maybe more people would come as the banquet officially began.
Although Richard said in advance, "Those who come do not refuse", but this number of people is really unexpected.
Li Mengxi and Hinata Nain, the two of them walked out of the elevator with the shock brought by a large number of participants.
At the same time, Richard, who was the first to be the organizer, was also greeted by Romania. They were also dressed more formally, with Richard in a plain white military uniform and Lomaria in a purple low-shouldered evening gown draped in a tulle pink silk scarf.
After the four of them briefly greeted each other, Richard smiled and pushed Li Mengxi forward a few steps.
"Everyone, this is the one who is responsible for the whole process, the last person bravely singled out the boss, the hero of this raider, mybrother, Li Mengxi!"
Hearing this, most of the people in the crowd let out an exclamation and cast a look of admiration, followed by thunderous applause. These eyes pierced Li Mengxi himself very uncomfortable, he raised his head slightly and whispered: "I said, Richard, what are you doing here?"
"I know you don't like to be in the limelight, but let's take care of it this time. Richard whispered to his voice by the cheers that rose to his feet, "This is a celebration feast, I have to talk about merit." And you also know that there are two other groups of Jinfan Thieves and Jinlan Gang, and they didn't participate in the raiders at all, if they take stock one by one, it will be equivalent to shaking out their affairs......"
"So, you pushed me out as a shield!"
"That's all there is to it. And now to help you increase a little popularity, maybe you can use it in the future. ”
"What's wrong?" Romaria, who was in the back, asked with concern when she noticed a little sadness on Hinata's face.
"Well, I don't think it's appropriate to say that. However, I don't really like you calling Dream Creek a 'hero'. ”
"Why?"
"I always feel very lonely. ”
"I see. Nayin, I'm not refuting you, but there are some things that I can't avoid even though I don't want to. In particular, that guy often unconsciously makes hero-like actions, just like this raider. Luo Maria looked at Li Mengxi's back and was also a little worried.
"Well, I know. ”
"And heroes don't have to be lonely. At least, isn't he having you by his side now?"
Hearing this, Hinata Nain immediately blushed and hung her head. Seeing this, Romalia laughed a few times.
"Alright, since the protagonist and the time have come, let's get started!" At this moment, Richard announced loudly.
As the voice sounded, the waiter NPC who was guarding the door of the banquet hall on both sides willingly pushed open the two huge door panels, revealing the luxurious layout and rich meals in the banquet hall.
Immediately, Richard laughed loudly and walked to the banquet hall with his arm around Li Mengxi's shoulders. Nane Hinata and Romania followed behind them with a down-to-earth and generous pace. And then there's the other people who participate in the raid.
This order is not set by anyone, and it is entirely based on the spontaneous respect of the players present. They were willing to follow them into the banquet hall after these brave men. Only by paying tribute to those who should be celebrating can they enjoy this celebration with peace of mind.
There was no special arrangement for the party except for Richard's speech at the beginning, and everyone was just eating and drinking at will, and engaging in social activities. Overall, I'm quite happy.
Almost an hour after this happy time, as a member of the participating guides, it was only natural that Sinapus in the venue had a full stomach. He took his eyes off the dining table, searched for a little and locked on to Li Mengxi's figure, and then walked over with a smile.
"Hoohoo!
"Sinaps. Hinata Nain was the first to say hello, but Li Mengxi chose not to say a word, putting on an attitude of complete ignorance.
In this regard, Sinapus didn't pay much attention to it, anyway, Li Mengxi has always been like this to him, and he is used to it.
"Hinata-san, could you please leave for a moment? I have something important to tell this guy. As he spoke, Sinapus put on a rather serious expression.
"Then I'll go talk to Romaria. Seeing this, Hinata Nain decided not to disturb the two of them to talk about things, and turned around and walked away after explaining.
"Important, who are you fooling? As he spoke, Li Mengxi smiled sarcastically.
"Don't say that. At least it's something that's important to you. ”
"What do you mean?"
"There are a lot of people here, let's find a safe place to talk. ”
Looking at Sinapus's mysterious look, Li Mengxi intuitively felt that the other party was plotting against him, but since he said that it was something very important to him, he still decided to listen to it.
So, led by Sinapus, the two silently walked out of the banquet hall to a corner in the corridor where no one was around. After arriving at the place, Sinaps still didn't immediately explain what was going on, but sent an email to Li Mengxi first.
What the hell is this guy doing?
With a full of doubts, Li Mengxi opened the received email under the evil gaze of Sinapus. At a glance, he was stunned for a moment.
There was only one photo in the email, which was the scene of Li Mengxi and Hinata Naine hugging each other and crying after the strategy.
"This, this! What the hell are you ......?"
I wanted to ask the other party how he got it, but as soon as the words came out, Li Mengxi himself immediately figured out the joint. In retrospect, the new multimedia function does have a "photography" function, and it seems that Sinaps had already discovered this at that time, and immediately used it to do this kind of candid thing.
"What do you mean by showing me this!" So, Li Mengxi changed his tone and asked, "Could it be that he is planning to blackmail!"
"Bingo! That's easy to say, split half of the prize money for the ride, and the sketch of this picture is completely gone. Otherwise......"
"How else?"
"I'll let it appear on the front page of the Hatsuba Morning Post, with polished text, of course, and you can imagine the content in the worst possible direction. By the way, you know what the Morning Post is, right?"
"I know! Besides, I know your skin is itchy!" said Li Mengxi, who deliberately squeezed his fist in front of Sinapus in a threatening manner.
"Of course you can beat me up here, and to be honest, I'm ready for that. Saying this, Sinapus instinctively took two steps back, "but to no avail." Unless you use the wild PK to make me disappear, but you're not that kind of person. So, I advise you to pay honestly. Personally, I think it's already very benevolent. ”
Sinaps was right, so even though Li Mengxi was trembling with anger, he still endured it, and then sent the invitation to Shinaps with a wave of his finger. Then, gritting his teeth, he painlessly punched in 50,000 gold. ”
"Thank you for your patronage!" said Sinapus with a happy smile after accepting the money.
Li Mengxi had a gloomy face.
"Don't let me see your face for the time being, otherwise I will hit you once I see you!" shouted angrily, Li Mengxi turned around and planned to go back to the banquet hall.
"You don't even look at the deletion operation, you really believe me. Sinaps said to Li Mengxi's back rather unexpectedly.
So, Li Mengxi stopped and turned around.
"There's only one thing I believe, you just think I hate you. If you don't delete the photos according to the content of the transaction, it's not just annoying. ”
"I think so. With that, Sinapus turned in another direction.
"Aren't you going back?" Seeing this, Li Mengxi asked.
"I'm here for two reasons. First, mix and eat. Second, blackmail. Now that it's all done, what am I going to do here? And isn't that what you said, you don't want to see my face for the time being. ”
"Hmph!" With a cold snort, Li Mengxi didn't care what Sinapus wanted to do with the embers, and walked quickly down the corridor alone.
In the afternoon, we fought side by side, and at night I used blackmail to disgust you, and next time I will be shameless and skinless as if nothing had happened. This is the man of Sinapus.
I have to say that this guy has a good grasp of the scale, and always hovers on the dividing line between hate and hate, but he doesn't let your mood simply cross to the side of hate.
Because as long as he feels that he has gone too far, this guy will definitely use intelligence or other methods to give a little sweetness and redeem his favorability, just like he asked Hinata Nain to help Li Mengxi almost a month ago.
From this point of view, since Sinaps did this extortion this time, he will definitely help in an emergency.
Li Mengxi, who had just lost a huge sum of 50,000 yuan, could only comfort himself like this.
"Alas!" sighed, and he walked back to the door of the banquet hall. When I raised my eyes, I unexpectedly found a lonely figure in the corridor opposite.
