Chapter 703: The Missing Guest

Previous Chapter

"Sir, I suppose we should not disturb His Highness and the President, shall we?"

After a while, Ivan seemed to figure it out. He said politely to the black-clothed manager next to him.

"That's right. The management was even more embarrassed, "Then let's go back to the banquet hall, I'm sorry, the president will never snub the guests." ”

"It doesn't matter, it's His Royal Highness the Prince after all. Ivan made a nonchalant look. He didn't deliberately lower his voice when he said this, believing that the two people at the small table also heard it. The president turned his head and smiled apologetically.

Ivan followed the black-clothed manager back to the banquet hall.

It really seems that the crow has only come to talk to the president. Looking around the still lively banquet hall, the music that never stops accompanied the enthusiastic and unrestrained dances of the people, the city of Ode at night is much less solemn than the day. One mission was accomplished, Ivan thought, he had met the Raven himself, and besides, he should be doing well, at least not in the mire of suspicion like Christina.

The crow pretended not to know him, and he was forced to wonder if the knight was spying on him. Although Ivan really wants to talk to the crow alone now, it seems that the crow is not easy to get out. The raven returned to his father's country to be a prince, not an outlaw magician.

"I thought—I'd better visit the president another day. ”

Since there is nothing to be found here, it is better to go to the treasure tavern and find Carlo. The black-clothed manager's face turned red with embarrassment, and he crossed his fingers and bowed to Ivan, an unidentified little "businessman".

"I'm so sorry! You see, the president invited His Royal Highness the Prince, but I don't know if he will come...... Ah, please go this way. "The management doesn't intend to leave through the gate," but His Royal Highness the Prince still seems to attach great importance to the development of the Chamber of Commerce, and some time ago, when they met for the first time, it was at the Chamber of Commerce's dinner. When the president returns, he often holds such dinners. Our president was really bold, and he actually invited His Royal Highness the Prince directly to hold a banquet for the first time in the Chamber of Commerce......"

The black-clad management kept sending him outside the gate.

After leaving the headquarters of the Augustus Chamber of Commerce, the streets suddenly became deserted, and the air seemed to have returned to its previous depression. It was probably going to rain, and Ivan looked at the dark and low night sky, intending to find the treasure tavern that Carlo had told him about as soon as possible before it rained.

He didn't have much effort to find it, the Treasure Tavern was not far from the Chamber of Commerce headquarters, and it hung a striking sign with red and black inlaid gold. The tavern was no more deserted than a banquet, and the noise was louder than a banquet. After all, there are no etiquette constraints in such a place.

Ivan's gaze swept over the drunk, shouting and shouting guests who had no regard for their image, and he had expected to find Carlo soon, whose serious aura was out of place in a tavern. But no, with Carlo's serious attitude, since he said it, he will definitely wait for him here.

But Carlo really doesn't seem to be in the hall!

The tavern was so noisy that the guests were so strange that it was like a dinner party on the other side. The tavern also belonged to the Augustan Chamber of Commerce, and Ivan saw the sign on the signboard, which could be seen everywhere in the continent of Paran. Ivan once again felt that what Xiulin said was really reasonable—how did such a terrifyingly big chamber of commerce get to where it is today?

The owner of the tavern didn't notice him at all, after all, it was not uncommon for taverns to come and go. Holding on to the year of trying, Ivan squeezed in front of the boss, who was beating to the music, the boss was chubby, and his red face was full of smiles.

"Welcome to the Treasure Tavern. ”

"Well, I'd like to ask, have you ever seen a man dressed in a Faderland-style suit...... Uh, it's something like me...... Guest?"

The boss's smile froze for a moment.

"Oh—you're here to find someone, how can I notice every guest when you see I'm so busy?"

Suddenly, the boss seemed to remember something, and his brows furrowed.

There was such a guest who came, and he didn't drink, but after talking to the other guests, he went out. The boss said, propping up his chin, "I remember him, because he didn't look like he was here for a drink, but like a ......."

The flush on the boss's face faded somewhat.

"Did he tell you where he went?" asked Ivan.

"I don't know the guest. The boss pursed his lips and added an apologetic smile.

"That'...... Is the guest who spoke to him still here?" Ivan's heart sank, why didn't Carlo leave a message when he went out?

The boss immediately looked at a prominent spot in front of him, where several drunks were giggling.

"It doesn't seem to be these guests, I don't remember, you see I'm so busy......" The boss spread his hands helplessly, Ivan turned around and glanced at the drunks to see how they were dressed...... Appears to be someone from the security patrol, but is probably too drunk to remember anything.

"Boss, did a woman from the Kuiling nationality come here last month?"

Ivan suddenly remembered that Xiulin had probably been to this tavern as well! It was so close to the headquarters of the Augustan Chamber of Commerce, and there were many customers, so it was estimated that the wine was also good. Xiulin is very fond of drinking, and if Xiulin had come here to investigate the Augustan Chamber of Commerce, maybe she wouldn't have missed the opportunity to drink......

"How do I remember last month. The boss couldn't help but laugh, "But you said Kui?"

His eyes widened.

"Ah, yes, yes, that's the thing! Last month, about the fifteenth, there was indeed a very beautiful Kuiling woman! She was dressed so specially, and she even praised my ale!" the boss's face turned red again, "I remember this, don't look at me as a guest, such guests are really uncommon." ”

...... It seems that Xiulin is more eye-catching than Carlo!Ivan glanced around the chaotic tavern hall again, so it is possible that Carlo has really heard about Xiulin.

But at least ask the boss to give him a letter! Carlo has never been an impulsive person, and he will never break his promises, unless-

"Boss, I have another question, has that woman been here since then?"

"And then, no, she came that time. You can rest assured, I remember what she looked like, and she really didn't come back. ”

"Thank you...... Well, excuse me. ”

Ivan said goodbye to the boss and passed by the drunks, a cool breeze blew through the door, and several more young men entered the tavern. Knowing what to do now, Ivan turned and walked towards the headquarters of the Augustus Chamber of Commerce, where the dinner continued.
