The air on a cold winter night is always bleak and unforgiving.

But tonight, the chill is more presumptuous.

Victor's appearance made many people who stayed at the door look at it unconsciously.

Feeling the oncoming cold whirlwind, the venue, which was still a little noisy, became much silent at this moment.

It was as if a cold had penetrated into the bone marrow, and the atmosphere around it gradually cooled down.

All the nobles held their glasses up, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, and they did not move.

Cocott sat on the clouds outside the carriage, and was comfortably blowing the cold wind.

Suddenly, she felt a colder wind blow through her body, and she couldn't help but shiver.

Coming back to her senses, she looked in the direction of the coldness.

As his eyes crossed the door of the ballroom, Cocott's eyes lit up.

Isn't that Victor?

The moment he saw Victor, Kokot lay his body on the clouds.

Then he drooped half of his body from the roof of the carriage, turned his head upside down, and went down the window, and said to Leah, who was sitting in the carriage:

"Liaria, look over there."

Liya, who was still sitting in the carriage, was not in a very good mood.

His brows were furrowed, and his mood was a little anxious.

After all, Victor hadn't arrived yet, and Liya thought that Victor had released the pigeons again.

But when she heard Kocot's words, she was still a little curious, and looked in the direction that Kokot gestured.

The familiar black trench coat immediately attracted her attention.

This made Liya stunned slightly, narrowed her eyes, and looked carefully.

Well, sure.

It's Victor.

After all, in a scene like today, only Victor would like to appear in an old-fashioned black trench coat.

But......

"Why didn't he come to me and go straight by himself?"

Leah was a little strange, and then followed Victor's gaze, and then she felt that something was wrong.

At this time, he was standing in front of Gwen.

And in front of him, there seemed to be a person standing, looking a little familiar.

Leah frowned slightly and looked at it carefully for a while.

Wow, I remembered.

Isn't this the head of the Rayser family?

"This person from the Lesser family is starting to get sick again?"

After all, the people of the Rayser family have not been sick once or twice, from the beginning of Professor Devon, plus that Jace.

Look at this, each of the three of them, father and son, will be satisfied if they mess with Victor once?

And at this time, Cocott's voice also came from the roof of the car, leisurely and relaxed:

"Victor is here, shall we go over now?"

"Hmmm......"

Leah put her hands on the window, gently brushed the ends of her hair, and looked in the direction of Victor with interest.

While watching, he said:

"Don't worry, let's see what Victor wants to do first."

Victor is not the kind of person who just finds fault.

If he really let Victor go to that extent, obviously, he must have felt that there was something wrong with the other party.

At the same time, there was silence in front of the ballroom.

Victor still had the same cold eyes, as if he was staring at Lipoot without a trace of emotion.

The atmosphere was particularly solemn and cold.

In this atmosphere, Lipoot was still smiling, looking at Victor in front of him with a smile.

These nobles did not dare to speak one by one, and could only watch the confrontation between the two.

They looked at Victor, then at Lipoot.

The grievances between the Rayser family and the Clayvener family were not understood by many people present.

And these two are people of prominent status, no matter who they are, they have extremely high influence.

Obviously, at the moment, the most important thing in this banquet is not the elves.

How to keep these two from quarreling.

After all, if you really want to make a move, they can't say what will happen to Lipoot's side.

Victor might be able to blow up the entire ballroom.

In order to alleviate the condensed atmosphere before the banquet, the nobles took the initiative to speak to Lipoot:

"Mr. Lipoot, I think you'd better have a check-up."

"Indeed, Mr. Lipoot, after all, today is a special situation."

Today's banquet is very important, and the most important thing is to protect the elves who appear in the banquet hall.

After all, the elves must not be harmed in any way, or they will incur the wrath of nature.

Therefore, it is forbidden for anyone to bring weapons or dangerous objects that may contain magic into the banquet hall.

The other nobles also understood this, and had already cooperated with the knights to complete the security check.

So when Gwen came out to intercept Lipoot, no one around him said much.

After all, Gwen was not only a knight captain of the Imperial Order, but also a count.

Her status within the empire is not low, and there are really few people who can reach her height.

In addition, Gwen not only has such an identity, she is also Victor's fiancée.

This level of relationship alone is enough to keep everyone silent.

Although today's banquet is funded by the Rayser family, rules are rules after all.

At this time, Lipoot's gaze also passed over Victor again, and looked at Gwen behind him.

At this time, Lipoot, who had come to his senses, finally noticed that Gwen was unusual.

No wonder he had just made that gaffe-like low-level mistake.

The light of justice emanating from this female knight was as dazzling as the blazing sun, making it difficult to look at directly.

It's a justice that can't be ignored. ’

It's disgusting.

But he still suppressed the emotions in his heart and politely took off his top hat.

He bent slightly and bowed to Gwen.

His voice was soft, but with sincere apologies:

"I'm so sorry, I was rude just now."

"I am willing to cooperate with the examination."

The other nobles were all relieved when they heard this, but fortunately Mr. Lipoot was easier to speak.

Hearing this, the other nobles breathed a sigh of relief, they were all aware of the delicate relationship between the Clevenner family and the Rayser family.

Fortunately, Mr. Lipoot, as a businessman, is still relatively knowledgeable and easy to speak.

So Gwen waved his hand lightly, and a group of silver-armored knights quickly surrounded him.

Each of them held a crystal clear gem in their hands, aiming it at Lipoot's body.

Pale rays of light burst out from the center of the gem, shining around Lipoot's body.

The light surrounded him, sweeping delicately from head to toe.

The knights stared intently at the gem in their hands, checking for any unusual reactions.

Thankfully, no signs of metal weapons or magic items were found on Lipoot's body.

The knights put away the jewels, put their arms on their chests, gave a knightly salute to Lipoot, and then said politely:

"All is in order, sir, please come freely."

They then dispersed, continuing to use the gems they had just made to begin examining the other nobles who had arrived.

Lipoot put his top hat back on, looked up at Victor, and said with a smile:

"It seems that you are Mr. Victor Kravenna."

"When we meet for the first time, I want to apologize to you for my two ignorant sons."

He turned to Gwen again, and a sincere smile flashed in his eyes:

"The two of you are really a good match, and if there is a wedding day, please be sure to notify me to attend."

With that, he nodded gracefully to Victor and continued:

"I've been looking forward to meeting you to clear up any misunderstandings between us."

"But today may not be the best time, and there are still many guests waiting, so forgive me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lipoot turned and walked towards the golden banquet hall.

The surrounding nobles also followed his footsteps and flocked to the banquet hall together.

The other nobles couldn't help but beat their hearts faster as they passed by Victor.

Reluctantly, they smiled and nodded politely to Victor.

Until the people around them are completely gone, and no one is paying attention to them.

Victor turned and looked at Gwen.

Gwen was still staring at Lipoot's departing back, and had no intention of withdrawing her gaze.

"What did you find?"

Gwen looked at Lipoot and the group of nobles chatteringly, and slowly spoke:

"This person has a very false feeling."

True and false, false and real.

If you say it, maybe even the other party doesn't know how much it is true or false.

Victor also turned his head, looked at Lipoot in the distance, and said lightly:

"This is the merchant."

Clever tongue, never know which sentence is true.

"So I don't like it."

When dealing with this type of person, he always chooses to keep his distance as much as possible and does not give the other party any chance.

Moreover, on the premise of knowing that the other party may be the god of business, Victor will not take the initiative to fall into the trap of the other party.

However, since Gwen could see that the other party had some problems, it meant that Victor's guess was very different.

His identity, in front of Victor, has been transparent.

At this moment, Lipoot had gradually disappeared from view.

Gwen turned around and suddenly looked at Victor:

"Victor, I have a question too."

"What?"

Victor looked at Gwen with some confusion.

In the next second, Gwen spoke in surprise.

"So when will our wedding start?"

“……”

Victor froze in place, his mouth open.

Looking at Gwen's eyes staring straight at him, he couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart.

At the same time, the crow on his shoulder stretched out one of its wings and covered its beak in a shrill and hippie laugh.

That's why, Victor says, he hates this kind of business god who can talk the most.

Obviously, the other party accurately grasped Gwen's psychology when he first met her.

Easily led her into a trap.

Seeing Gwen staring at him and refusing to look away, there was a sense that he wouldn't let him go until he got an answer.

Gwen's gaze locked on Victor, as if determined not to let him go until he got an answer.

Just as Victor was about to find a reason to reluctantly fool Gwen first.

A familiar voice suddenly sounded beside him.

"Gwen, Victor doesn't have any plans for that right now."

"He still has a lot of things to deal with and he doesn't have time for the time being, and I think you know that."

Hearing the familiar voice, Gwen couldn't help but turn her head away.

Seeing that Liya was wearing a black dress, the black fluff on the back of her neck was fluttering in the breeze.

She walked over gracefully, approached Victor step by step, and then reached out and gently placed her hand on his shoulder.

There was a bit of mischievous flashing in his eyes, and he winked at Victor:

"Am I right, brother?"

That's right, too.

Leah is also a businessman.

This made Victor hate it.
