Music rang out in the ballroom.

Du Xiuxian smiled, took his wife's hand, and began to dance to the beat of the music.

More than half of the ladies were on the dance floor with their dance partners and danced the popular ballroom dance. In the midst of the change of light and shadow, Shi Qi came to the corner of the dance hall, took out the packing box, and quietly stuffed food into it while the attention of others was on the dance floor.

She didn't care much about Miss Su, who was hungry at home.

It's just that these are difficult times, so it's good to save a little money on food.

At this time, she was wearing a girdle dress, elegant and tight-fitting to perfectly bring out the elegant and noble temperament. There were many men who came to invite the dance, but she only cared about dressing and eating, with a faint smile on her face, expressing that she didn't want to be disturbed.

After packing the food, Tokizaki faced the dance floor, a pair of sparkling eyes staring ahead.

In essence, she is still a little girl, and she still has some spiritual yearning for the dreamlike dance party in front of her.

Everything here is bright and lively, beautiful and tasteful.

The walls are inlaid with cream-colored wooden planks, the ceilings are painted with gold, and a lot of money has been spent everywhere. She almost held her breath, her beautiful bulging chest rose and fell evenly, and she subconsciously looked for the figure of the section leader in the group.

At such a ball, the girl naturally needs a handsome dance partner.

Miss Adjutant is not interested in other men, but if she is the section chief, she can think about it...... When thinking about these things, the dance music gradually came to an end, and what Du Xiuxian and his wife said, glanced at Shi Qi and smiled.

Mrs. Du walked over to this direction.

She wore a rattan dress with a dark purple satin shawl over it, and her body was slightly sweaty from dancing. In the vague smell of perfume mixed with sweat, you can feel that she is slowly dissipating the fatigue after exercise.

"Doesn't Miss Tokizaki dance?" Mrs. Du asked enthusiastically.

Shi Qi shook his head slightly, smiled and said, "No, I'll wait here for the section leader to come back."

"Where's Chief Adel?" Mrs. Du's eyes roamed around the dance floor and asked casually, "I haven't seen him all night today, and Mr. still wants to talk to him about something......

"What is the matter with Mr. Du looking for the section chief?" Shi Qi frowned slightly.

"How can I, a woman, know about men......" Mrs. Du smiled faintly, "When he comes back, you can talk to him."

"Hmm."

Shi Qi nodded slightly.

The band on the dance floor started a new round of dance music performances.

The sound of music was heard, and it filled the corridors and resting areas like fog, making it difficult for people to speak. Mrs. Du returned to Du Xiuxian, and Du Jingwen ran over again and grabbed Shi Qi's arm: "It's pitiful to stand alone, let's dance."

Shi Qi shook his head helplessly: "I don't have a dance partner, you can go by yourself......

"Are you waiting for Nance? Forget it, there are so many people tonight, choose ...... carefully" Du Jingwen said funny, raised his hand and gestured, and the usher brought over a few empty chairs.

More than a dozen young men and women gathered around to chat, and Shi Qi could only listen patiently.

Not far away, Du Xiuxian and his wife stood side by side, raising their wine glasses and drinking with the guests. The plates and carved glass cutlery shone with countless lights, and the gold and silver threads on the woman's body shimmered blindly. Madame accompanied her husband with a slight smile, and when she talked to everyone, she happily folded her clothes neatly. ….

In a corner a little farther away, several leaders of the Inagawa Society gathered to talk and laugh.

The newly appointed Mayor Lin, wearing a pair of soft-soled leather boots, slowly socialized during the banquet, greeted the dignitaries and low-status figures he knew equally, and sometimes searched for something with his eyes. He was now the second largest center of attention in the crowd, surrounded by all those who worshipped wealth and power, and he assumed a pro-people posture and treated them with an unpretentious expression.

Superintendent Erin champagne and aimlessly walked through the crowd.

Almost all of the people who came from the imperial capital knew her and wanted to come forward to slap her

, but her cold expression did not give people the slightest chance to speak. There is also a hierarchy between the powerful, and among all the people present, except for Shuichi Akasaka and Du Xiuxian, none of them are worthy of her***.

Oh yes.

Shuichi Akasaka is also ......

Superintendent Erin's gaze passed through the crowd and landed on Shuichi Akasaka.

The middle-aged man with a mustache and a very scheming face was also the focus of the crowd. Whoever is more powerful among the guests will be treated with kindness by others, just as it is a matter of course that water flows deep and low.

Because of California's special political status, imperial decrees are a piece of waste paper here most of the time. In this prosperous land, the people of Tokyo are undoubtedly the most powerful group, among which Shuichi Akasaka is the leading brother of the people of Tokyo, which is well known in the upper echelons of the empire.

Superintendent Erin took a sip of wine and looked at him silently.

The riot in the ninth lesson some time ago was undoubtedly secretly supported by Shuichi Akasaka, and the top echelons of the empire knew about it. However, she couldn't understand why the upper echelons of the empire would be so indifferent and watch the ninth lesson fall without taking any remedial measures.

The whole thing can be said to be completely undealt with, and the upper echelons of the empire give people the feeling that they wish the ninth lesson was finished sooner.

Poor Nance, you have been abandoned by this country...... Superintendent Erin couldn't help but feel worthless for the newcomer.

On the other side of the dance floor, Mayor Lin and Du Xiuxian, as well as Shuichi Akasaka, came together. The waiter slammed the cork and poured the champagne, and Shuichi Akasaka picked up his goblet, stood up, and walked to the microphone.

The crowd stopped and waited for him to speak.

"Long live the Empire!" Shuichi Akasaka shouted.

At that moment, the band played the Imperial March, and everyone stood up from their seats, chanting "Hurrah". From the mouths of more than 300 guests, there was a warm cheer. Shuichi Akasaka shouted again, "May Your Majesty be healthy, and may the empire live long!"

With that, he drank dry in one gulp and threw the glass heavily on the floor.

For a while, many people imitated his movements, and the loud cheers lasted for a long time.

When the cries ceased, the attendants began to sweep away the broken cups, and the singers of the band began to sing in chorus.

"Celebrating the Great Black Gold Age......

"Defend our brave Black Gold Majesty......

"Mighty and fearful leader and benevolent, Caesar of the battlefield!"

"Courage is a guarantee of victory......

"Black gold people are unstoppable......"....

The singers' voices were loud and powerful, and the guests raised their glasses again and again, more and more bottles were shattered, and the cheers grew louder and louder. The entire banquet hall suddenly turned into a study meeting of the patriotism of the Black Gold Empire......

Just then, someone pushed open the glass door and entered.

Bringing in the fresh night air, a man and two women appeared.

Everyone turned their gaze in unison and looked towards the gate.

The darling of Shin-Yokohama's social circle, the dangerous and charming Sister Marlene, walked through the crowd on both sides with a smile on her face. Her bright red gown swayed as her body swayed, and the hem of the hem embellished with thorny rosaceae flowers made a brushing sound. Snow-white, round shoulders, shiny black hair, and diamonds on the chest are all shining.

She walked all the way, not looking at anyone, but smiling at everyone. Like a queen who suddenly descended at a banquet, she delegated the power to every one of her people to admire the beauty of her body and the beauty of her sexy back.

Next to her is a beautiful woman who looks very raw.

It was a slender blonde with gentle blue eyes hidden by her long eyelashes. The bright blonde hair is coiled on her head, revealing the skin of her beautiful arms and neck, her cautious eyes, and the softness and flexibility of her limbs, which make people look a little girlish.

Her arrival was like adding luster to the ball.

She is so beautiful, but you can't see the slightest delicate in her

There was a little uneasiness in her demeanor, as if she was deeply ashamed of her ability to pour out everything. Her restless eyes, as if she wanted to reduce the allure of her beauty, but could not do so.

At this time, she is like a beautiful and cute kitten.

In time, she is bound to become a charismatic she-cat, and her owner ......

Everyone's eyes turned to the young man.

Nance looked fashionable in a tie given by Sister Marlene and a suit she had personally selected. With his ruddy face, broad shoulders, and sharp eyes, he looked a bit like a war-hardened young officer on the front line.

There is no doubt that he is a man of astonishingly beauty.

A straight neck, broad shoulders, a gentle and broad chest, arms with a sense of strength, a long, clean and full torso, and strong feet like a sword. The chandelier overhead illuminated the side of his face, making him look like he was smiling. Straight eyebrows, slightly melancholy eyes, and a straight nose bridge tug on the muscles of the cheeks. On this face, in addition to giving the impression of elegance and vulgarity crumpled together, there is also an indescribable impression of pure wildness.

"Chief Adel ......"

"Sister Marlene......

"The blonde girl next to her is a ...... of the Saste family."

"Hiss~"

Listening to the sound of inhalation, Nance couldn't help but laugh with white teeth showing white teeth in her lips.

It's so cool to see you jealous!

Sister Marlene was pleased with the effect.

The more attention Nance gets, the greater her sense of accomplishment.

She made her way through the crowd to a couch, slung her silver-white mink shawl over her back, and sat down cross-legged. There was a tree next to the couch with colored lights, and the faint light from the flickering small bulbs shone through, dyeing the diamond pendant pearls on her chest in various colors. ….

She propped her chin and her eyes fell on Nance's face.

That young and beautiful face, those melancholy eyes, full of youthful vitality with a manly carved and deep face...... This kind of beautiful young man should really step on his feet and watch him weep bitterly and pour out his love for himself......

In the crowd, Shi Qi puffed out his cheeks slightly.

Nance didn't notice the lieutenant's side, he grabbed Sister Rena's arm and led her to the corner where Sister Marlene was. Rena is not Marlene, she can't stand the gaze of so many people, her face has long been red, and she refuses to raise her head.

"Nance ......"

"What?"

"I'm a little scared of ......."

"If you're so shy, don't come......" Nance smiled helplessly and helped her sit on the couch.

"I—How did I know there would be so many people...... Sister Rena was slightly embarrassed, quickly looked up at him, and then lowered her head, "Uh, don't leave me, don't let anyone else come and disturb me...... Especially those people from the imperial capital, I don't want to see them......" As she spoke, she raised her head slightly, her blue eyes showing a pleading look: "You come to me and help me block the eyes of others......

While saying this, someone was already surrounding him.

Sister Rena's face became tense, and her restless eyes echoed the innocence of the soft lips on her sweet face. The curve of the waist that hides deep in the couch shows the pure lines of the legs, the roundness of the shoulders, and the beauty of the lips...... All give people an indescribable sweetness, and can even make people smell the subtle fragrance emanating from her body.

Nance had planned to go to Shizaki, but when she begged like this, she immediately sat down.

"Whew~"

Sister Rena breathed a sigh of relief.

Those little hands subconsciously grabbed his sleeves, as if they were afraid that he would suddenly disappear.

"Don't worry, I'll be with you......," Nance whispered comfortingly, his arm gently pressing against her fingertips, looking at her flushed face and curled up body with interest, as well as her padded and bulging breasts.

Looking at it, he came closer,

A hand took her to his side.

The body, which exudes a fragrant fragrance, is stretched tightly by powerful fibers.

Perhaps nervous, Sister Lena didn't notice his little movements.

Staring at the strange-looking people in the imperial capital in the distance, her head was a mess, and she didn't realize that she was being taken advantage of.

Nance enjoyed it, but he was worried that the queen would notice his current abnormality.

Pain and happiness......

The picture here is very weird, in the middle of the ball, it seems that a healthy couple is suddenly added. Both the guests and the attendants with the drinks were looking strangely at Sister Rena's shy demeanor and Nance's radiant face, and even the light of the crystal lamp seemed to be condensed only on these two happy faces.

Whether it is Shi Qi or Shi Qi, or Du Xiuxian Akasaka Shuichi, or Superintendent Irene, his face is extremely strange at this time. Only Sister Marlene, who knew the inside story, had a victor-like smile on her lips.

She looked at Nance with a stern gaze.

The eyes of the two men met.

Didn't you say you didn't like Rena...... Sister Marlene's eyes flashed with a hint that sounded like scolding and mockery.

I'm here for you...... Nance gave a determined look back.

Sister Marlene, smoking a long, thin cigarette, skillfully threw him a wink: "Kneel before me and kiss my feet, and I will believe you......

Wait until you get back tonight to kiss ...... Nance's gaze fell on her lap.

At the slit of the skirt, the snow-white thighs loom and are sultry.

The adjutant's lady in the distance finally couldn't sit still.

Worried that Rena's mother was deceived and felt that she was hiding something, she came to her boss angrily to settle the account.
