At this dinner,

The identity of the woman is a mystery.

But it's not a secret to some.

In the corner seat, Mitheus, the judge under the command of the Second Judge of the Shangjing Adjudication Division, sat in a brightly lit seat, and the iconic black robe shimmered in the light.

It is different from the mysterious woman who was in the limelight at the banquet and was like a black swan.

Most of the guests invited to the birthday dinner of Congressman Kenneth's daughter tonight were either rich or wealthy.

However, when almost everyone's eyes fell on the man, they would all look away silently and silently in perfect understanding.

Probably for the vast majority of distinguished parliamentarians and ministers of the United States of Tagos, almost no one is willing to take the initiative to deal with those in the black-robed adjudication division, unless it is absolutely necessary.

This is not just the simple awe of ordinary people,

What's more, it is also a kind of political wisdom and a way of doing business.

For a moment, except for the black-robed execution team scattered around the seats, a "forbidden place" seemed to have formed around Inquisitor Mitheus.

It obviously occupies the main seat of the banquet, but it feels as if it is split in the courtyard, and Sen Ran is independent of the whole banquet.

"Interesting..."

Inquisitor Mitheus leaned lazily in his seat, holding a glass of the strong liquor that the men called "the eaux-de-vie" of the Mezi Mansion, and the amber hue of the goblet swaying in the light of the dinner lights was mesmerizing.

The middle-aged man shook and gently sniffed the aroma of wine, and then said with a smile to the deputy captain of the black-robed executive team who was standing beside him without squinting and waiting:

"I've known the stupidity of human beings for a long time, but tonight's dinner party is all the best of the human race, and I thought that as an elite, they should be smarter."

The captain of the black-robed execution team heard the big man sitting next to him suddenly speak, carefully pondered the meaning of the other party's words, and said carefully,

"You mean... Alita-sama? ”

Inquisitor Mitheus shrugged his shoulders noncommittally and said with a smile, "I can understand that sheep avoid wolves out of fear, but what I didn't expect was that they would instead fall in love with a lion, which is funny..."

"But why would Alita-sama..."

The captain of the black-robed enforcement team glanced at the woman in black dress who was walking towards the strange boy, quickly withdrew his gaze and carefully lowered his voice.

"Hehe... How do we know what a lion thinks..."Inquisitor Mitheus asked with a deliberate squint, "do you think that Lord Alita would have any thoughts of a human man?" ”

The deputy captain of the black-robed execution team suddenly turned pale, and quickly lowered his head and said nervously, "The subordinates don't dare!" The subordinates don't dare! ”

The ruling department is very ranked, and almost no one dares to talk about their superiors like this, not to mention that the woman who landed in Meiji Mansion from Shangjing is not an ordinary superior.

Mitheus smiled indifferently, as the inquisitor under the command of the Second Adjudicator, he did not have much awe for this "hypocritical benevolence" of the Third Adjudicator, and he may not even have the idea of replacing it one day.

As for the other party deliberately separating from him when he entered the venue tonight, hiding his identity, whether he wanted to experience life or do something else, he didn't care about it.

Thinking of this, Inquisitor Mitheus couldn't help but squint slightly.

Tonight's feast,

There was only one thing he cared about.

That is, whether it is possible to end this boring "mission" early.

......

The black curtain on the second floor of the mansion slowly opened, and the top band of the invited Meiji Mansion had been debugged, and the conductor in a white tuxedo standing at the front raised the baton in his hand with a full smile.

With his gesture of raising his baton, a melodious piano prelude flows through the courtyard.

As the cello and violin mix was heard, the men and women in the courtyard who had found their dance partners slowly paced to the clearing, and the outstretched hands of each other were held with reserved smiles.

It was also at this time that Higashinohara, who was about to leave through the side door after completing the "messenger mission", was "accompanied" by the agents of the Condor Bureau, when he heard a cold voice like a black swan behind him.

......

"Can you enjoy your face and dance?"

——Pure black evening dress, small black shirt, those slender arms and face are covered with a layer of black light veil, and the long black hair bulges as if to hide something, and at a glance it looks mysterious and cold, revealing a touch of carelessness.

It's like walking in a flower garden in the morning, and she accidentally sees a flower that she loves, so she casually sends out an invitation that belongs to her.

Beep Pavilion

Higashinohara turned around, looking at the cold woman in front of him with a temperament like a black lotus with some surprise, and he didn't expect why a strange woman he didn't know would find him.

Is it a bit of a down-and-out charity to see yourself go?

Higashinohara had heard that there were many "rich women" at such high-class dinners, specializing in hunting young men who wanted to stand on their toes and want to fight for their heads.

It's just that Higashinohara didn't have that idea.

As soon as he delivered the letter.

"I'm sorry, maybe the host of this banquet didn't welcome me, I think I should leave now." Higashinohara shook his head and declined.

Hearing this, the woman wearing the black veil raised her eyes and gently swept over the Condor Bureau Capable Agent who was following behind Higashinohara, and said with some indifference in her tone, "Is that so?" The prom has already started, I want to invite him to a dance, is it okay? ”

The woman said this in a surging tone, but there was a sense of undoubtedness.

Under normal circumstances, no matter how eye-catching and mysterious the woman in front of her is, the tall man of the Condor Secret Service who followed behind Higashinohara would not go against the will of Councilor Kenneth who held this banquet.

However, at this moment, the man in black faced the woman's words, opened his mouth and wanted to refuse, but found that the words of refusal could not be said no matter what.

It's not that I'm embarrassed, it's that the vocal cords suddenly lose their ability to express themselves.

The whole person is like a drowning fish, watching the people on the surface of the water under the water, gurgling bubbles in his mouth but not making any sound.

This feeling made him a little frightened, and he subconsciously wanted to make a move.

And then the next second...

The man in black was even more stunned to find that he was frozen in place at this moment, not to mention the act of refusal, and even the muscular expressions on his face stiffened together.

Higashinohara was a little surprised, but the man in black didn't refuse.

He glanced around, and the eyes of the guests in the courtyard, even the man with his dancing partner in his arms, converged on the woman's body from time to time.

Is this woman's identity very unusual?

Higashinohara guessed in his heart.

At this time, he looked at the slender jade arm draped in black light yarn that the woman took the initiative to stretch out.

Higashinohara pondered for two seconds, remembering something that had just happened in the corridor next to the courtyard, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

So he stretched out his hand, gently took the woman's inviting hand, clasped his fingers politely, and put his other hand around the woman's waist, and then the two of them walked together from the side door of the corridor into the courtyard.

......

Who is that man?

Seeing this sudden scene, many single magnates in the courtyard who were about to move and wanted to take the initiative to invite were stunned.

Who would have thought that the noble black swan who attracted countless eyes at tonight's dinner would actually face an unknown and mediocre appearance.....

Well, the young man who looked "a little handsome" stretched out his hand, and his face suddenly became cloudy for a while.

Among these people, of course, there was also the Foreign Minister of the United States of Tagos, His Excellency Sharvin, who had just met Higashinohara in the corridor and had a cigar in his mouth.

In fact, from the moment the woman in the black evening dress walked into the courtyard of the mansion dinner alone tonight, many people's eyes fell on her.

His Excellency Minister Sulvin of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is one of them, and he is also the man who is most likely to be favored by the black swan in his status at this banquet tonight.

For this reason, our Excellency Minister Sulvin even sent off the female companion who accompanied him to the banquet tonight in advance, completely ignoring the sad and mournful look of the female companion when she left, just for the "desperate gamble" at the beginning of the ball.

That's why the conversation just ended,

When Congressman Kenneth spoke of "the ball begins," Minister Sulvin's face immediately flashed with excitement.

It's just that in the middle of the courtyard at this moment, Minister Sulvin, who had finished arranging the collar of his shirt, didn't think of it.

He just came on the front foot,

I want to send an invitation to that black swan.

On the back foot, a young man who had just been abandoned by them reaped the favor of the black swan faster than him.

In the center of the courtyard, Minister Sulvin, who stood in place like a goose for a moment, had a gloomy face and could drip water.

He looked around,

It was as if I heard the silent sneer of this scene in the hearts of countless guests.

Damn it!

What a guy who doesn't know whether to live or die!

Minister Sulven stared at Higashinohara with a gloomy look.

When he turned to leave, he quietly beckoned to the powerful agent of the Condor Bureau on the side, and said something in his ear...

.....

On the dance floor of the courtyard, men and women dance on bluestone slabs and tiles to melodious music, and the lotus flowers in the lotus pond with skirts rotate, and the air is filled with the smell of rich hormones and expensive perfumes.

On the dance floor, most of the dance floor is dominated by men and women spinning around.

Only Higashinohara is different from the woman who wears a black veil like a black swan, and from the moment he steps into the courtyard, the other party firmly controls the rhythm.

Every time you spin,

Every jump,

Every move...

Leg lifts, strides, arm swings...

It's always so elegant and precise.

That's for the Queen...

No, the momentum and power of the empress.

For a while, under the light, the two people who were like flowers and leaves blooming and closing again suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention in the courtyard.

Under the watchful eye, no one noticed that a surging mist suddenly floated from the side door, and several men in dark green coats walked out...

In the courtyard, Higashinohara had a little Latin dance foundation in his previous life.

Coupled with the comprehensive control of the body after the comprehensive development of various attributes of the body, every muscle line of the body is gradually forming muscle memory.

After a few rhythms of the melodious music, he was still a little jerky at first, and soon kept up with the pace of the "black swan" in front of him.

Gradually, the strength of the other party also aroused Higashinohara's inner desire to win, and he began to try to regain the initiative in this dance.

Even if he was passive at the beginning.

The woman opposite seemed to sense something, her red lips under the black veil curled slightly, and the slender dark blue almond eyes through the veil reflected the outline of Higashinohara.

At the same time, Higashinohara also saw the other party's white jaw and slightly upturned red lips under the occasional glance of the black yarn raised.

She's laughing?

Did you really meet a rich woman who gathers and hunts in the upper class?

Higashinohara's face suddenly turned strange.

The melodious violin sound gradually soothed,

Higashinohara finally began to alternate with the black swan-like woman in front of him to control the rhythm of the dance.

When the song comes to an end,

Driven by Higashinohara's traction, the woman in front of her took a stride like a knife out of its sheath, and her dancing posture was neatly approaching Higashinohara's chest.

The slender arm made a dazzling arc in the light, and then the wrist rested lightly on Higashinohara's shoulder.

Bang Bang Bang!

Suddenly there were people around applauding,

Then there was a wave of applause.

However, at this moment, a soft whisper came from Higashinohara's chest.

"You don't deserve to be looked down upon...

Isn't it? ”

.....。
