At the Silent Island Hotel, the ball hosted by the Dardanelles family has come to an end.

Brian Buckler, the patriarch of the family, greeted each guest with a smile on his face.

"The Dardanelles family thank you for your presence and look forward to seeing you again. ”

"Hope you enjoyed your stay!"

"Go all the way!"

Lord Derby Anderfritt, Lord of Royo, came up to Buckler and said, "It's almost time, I should go too, Mr. Dardanelle, and before I go, I have to say, congratulations, the Dardanelles have an excellent heir." ”

"Thank you very much for the compliment. I'm sorry that Heather is dealing with some questions about alchemy at the moment and can't come to see you off in person. ”

"It doesn't matter, I totally understand that. ”

O'Kung Man Dodge of the Dodge Firm, Viscount Radur of the Bavarian House and others also bid farewell to Brian Buckler.

"Please say hello to your heir on my behalf, Dodge Comptoir is pleased to work with him. ”

"On behalf of the Bavarian family, I would like to extend my sincerest greetings to the Dardanelles and wish Master Cisher a happy day. ”

The crowd said goodbye to Brian Buckler, and tonight, at least at this ball, the Dardanelles had been a great success.

But the operation carried out in the shadows, so far no news has been received.

When the people were almost gone, Hodding whispered in Buckler's ear, "Our people have arrived, and Huey has taken Leeburger away, and almost half an hour has passed. ”

"Didn't he say that he was absolutely sure that he could take out any powerhouse below the Sanctuary in a short period of time in a one-on-one situation?" Brian Buckler frowned.

"Yes, he said so, but the truth is obviously not so smooth, the aura of the strong is not painted with oil paint, but with the blood and corpses of the enemy. Huey didn't seem to be going so well. ”

"Hopefully he will come back alive, otherwise all the going well will be illusory and meaningless. In fact, if he doesn't come back in half an hour, maybe I'll be ready to run away. ”

"I believe in him. ”

"Oh?"

Huo Ding said lightly: "If a person is ready to fight against a country, but he can't even do it with a sixth-level mage, then he is a delusional madman." Obviously, Huey is not. ”

Not far away, a horse-drawn carriage stopped at the door of the Silent Island Hotel.

When Raschel stepped out of the carriage, Buckler frowned, "Why did he come back again?"

"It seems that Master Sythor has come to see us here. Hodding replied.

"Damn!" Buckler stomped his foot, turned back and whispered to Releyasa, "Go to Xiuy's room at once and tell them to get ready." Our Lord Raschel is a real nuisance. ”

Stepping out of the carriage, Raschel's face was filled with a warm smile.

He approached Buckler's side: "I'm sorry, Mr. Dardanelle, it's rude to leave the ball without saying hello, but unfortunately I have to. Out of respect for the Dardanelles, I came back as soon as I settled the matter at hand. I hope to express my apologies in concrete deeds rather than empty words. ”

"I've heard something about what's going on in the city tonight. It's terrible, that demon Huy Glore has appeared in Royo City, right?"

"Yes. ”

"Hopefully you've caught him. ”

"Actually, we don't, but don't worry, we'll get him soon. No one can escape the Empire. Raschel grinned. Buckler shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "I hope so." ”

"So......" Raschel dragged out his voice, then looked around, "Can I say a parting greeting to Master Heather?" I hope he doesn't lose too much for me. ”

"yes? I don't know very much about it. Barnett, you take Mr. Raschel to see the young master. ”

"Yes, Patriarch. With a smile on his face, Hotin said to Raschel, "Please come with me, Mr. Raschel." ”

Walking through the spacious ball hall towards Huey's place, Raschel and Haddin chatted casually without a word.

"Mr. Barnett, may I ask how long you have been with the Dardanelles?" Raschel asked casually.

"Oh, that's been a while. ”

"Listening to what you say and what others have to say about you, it's clear that you're a well-read poet. It's hard to imagine that a family of maritime adventures like the Dardanelles could have someone as knowledgeable as you as a steward. ”

"It is true that the Dardanelles did not have a tradition of reading, but because of this, they also had a special respect for readers. I think that's probably why I chose the Dardanelles in the first place, because here, I can get things that I don't have anywhere else. You know that sometimes money isn't the only thing you can turn to. ”

"That's right, a lot of times we are more motivated by interest. It's like for me, for me, to be able to catch those cunning criminals who are difficult to catch will give me an unparalleled sense of accomplishment. ”

"And what if you don't catch him?"

"Then I'll keep trying. The sense of accomplishment that comes with easy success is limited, isn't it?"

"Mr. Raschel, you must admit that you are a very wise man. ”

"Compared to your family young master, I think I'm still far behind, he is a real genius. ”

"Yes, he is very talented, but he is still young and inexperienced, and there are some experiences that cannot be replaced by talent. ”

"So he needs the help of someone as wonderful as you. ”

"Just as much as I can. ”

"I can see that he respects you very much, even more than your patriarch. ”

"Don't say that, Mr. Raschel, the patriarch is only so hurt in his heart because of the death of his brother that he doesn't want to take care of things anymore. ”

"Maybe he should leave the family in the hands of Young Master Dardanelle now. ”

"Oh, there should always be a transition period, and nothing should be rushed. ”

"That's right. Raschel muttered softly, "Don't rush anything." ”

These two people, one is an old fox who is good at calculation, and every word is secretly murderous, and there are words in the words, and the words are trapped. The other is the world's number one fraudster, who is also proficient in human tricks, as smooth as a fish, and does not give people any handles.

Between the detection of lies and counter-detection, it has always been the former that is more difficult than the latter, so when two people of similar strength collide, it is usually the liar who wins in the end.

Therefore, in this temptation, Raschel did not get any chance. Hotin easily reduced all the information that Raschel was trying to obtain into nothing, much to Raschel's displeasure.

Passing through the hall, they came down the long hallway, and beyond that were the living room and bedroom.

"Let's go to the parlor first. Hodding said.

"I have no opinion. Raschel said.

Just then, a girl suddenly appeared at the entrance of the hallway.

When the girl saw Raschel, her eyes shone brightly: "Oh, Mr. Raschel, so you are here. I've been looking for you for a long time!"

The girl walked towards Raschel.

It was the girl who invited Raschel to dance, Sandy.

This embarrassed Raschel a little.

"Oh, Sandy, I didn't expect you to be here, I thought you were gone. ”

"I didn't see you. After a few dances with you, you're gone. Oh, Mr. Raschel, how can you leave a girl alone like this and go away? ”

A big smile appeared in Hodding's eyes.

"I'm sorry, Sandy. Raschel said helplessly.

"I don't care, I want you to compensate me. ”

"How are you going to compensate?"

"I want you to dance a few more times with me. ”

"Now?"

"Yes, right now. ”

"That's not going to work, the prom is over. ”

"Then stay alone with me for a while, don't you want to?, or do you hate me, Mr. Raschel?" The little girl's voice was full of tenderness and infatuation, like a daughter meeting her father, and there was a kind of reluctance.

"Oh, of course not, but I still have something to do. ”

"What else is the matter with you?" asked the girl.

Huo Ding immediately said: "Mr. Raschel wants to say goodbye to the young master, but I think this is not a big deal, you can find a place to play for a while, and I can go and inform the young master to come out." ”

Raschel took a long breath, his often girlish "innocent" eyes, "innocent" expression, and then looked at Hodin's grinning appearance, and finally nodded helplessly: "Okay, Mr. Hodin, you win, just do as you say." ”

The phrase "you won" was like a needle piercing Hotdin's heart, and his smile remained the same, except that he politely bowed to Raschel and said, "So be it." ”

With that, he walked towards the end of the passage.

Looking at Hodding's back, a cold light flashed in Raschel's eyes, and a thick smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Raschel never believed that pies in this world would fall.

If there is, then it must be poisonous.

If Sandy's invitation to dance before was just a manifestation of the little girl's avoidance of young men's harassment, then the little girl's waiting and obsession with herself at this moment made him feel a taste of conspiracy.

He had the feeling that, despite Sisedada's invitation to his ball, he didn't really want to have too much contact with him.

In fact, he could never forget the look in his eyes before Huy Gler activated the teleportation array.

Full of confidence, mystery, and an inscrutable look.

He has a special temperament that ordinary teenagers don't have, and he doesn't have the immaturity and innocence that a teenager should have.

It's as if the soul of an adult is installed on the body of a teenager.

That kind of temperament, he had only seen and felt in a teenager, and that was Siser Dadanelle.

"Mr. Raschel, you're distracted again. Sandy's whisper came to his ears, with a hint of Bo's disgust.

On the small balcony outside the ballroom, Sandy grabbed Raschel's hand, her eyes full of tenderness.

Raschel said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Sandy, you see, I'm old, and I don't know how to care about the girls around me a lot of the time. I've been alone for decades, I mean, I'm used to being alone. ”

"Maybe you should find yourself a partner. ”

"No, people like me are not fit to have a partner. Raschel shook his head.

"Why?"

Raschel smiled and gently put his arm around Sandy's shoulder, took her into his arms, and then whispered, "Because a man like me is naturally wary of any woman who shows me affection and kindness, I will even ...... Hurt them. ”

Sandy's face changed dramatically.

Raschel's fingers pressed lightly on the back of Sandy's neck, and she fainted with a grunt.

Gently lowering the little girl on the ground and ripping off her coat to cover her, Raschel muttered, "I'm sorry, little girl, I hope you have a good dream." ”

Lifting the curtains on the balcony, Raschel noticed that there was no one around.

He quickly followed the passage and felt inside.

There was no figure in the silence of the living room, perhaps because the guests had already walked away, and even the servants could not be seen.

Raschel noticed that there seemed to be a man lying in the sand not far away.

He walked over and took a look, and it was Bailey.

His mouth was full of wine.

"Damn idiot. ”

This bastard was actually drunk, what did he think he was here for?

Raschel turned back to the bedroom.

Raschel tiptoed closer to the bedroom.

Closing his head to the door, Raschel listened intently.

The voices of a man and a woman could be heard inside.

"How's it going?"

"He wasn't fooled. ”

"That's bad, he's in trouble. ”

"Maybe we should increase the intensity of **, anyway, we have to give the young master enough time. ”

"I'll think of another way. ”

The voice was full of anxiety.

Raschel's eyes lit up.

He took out the communication crystal from his bosom and said softly, "Chakra, prepare to mobilize manpower to surround this place, I think I have found the lair of Siegler." ”

As soon as the words fell, he put away the communication crystal, suddenly opened the door and rushed in, shouting, "I don't think you need to waste any more effort!"

The next moment, he was completely frozen.

Hording and Lilith lay on the ground.

In front of them lay a large piece of flesh and bones.

They stared at the large closet not far away, and a fluffy shadow could be seen faintly from below, drilling through the cracks under the closet.

A pair of big black eyes stared cautiously outside, and while Hoddin was talking to Lilith, he shouted to Asahi, "Hey, baby, come out, come out." ”

Raschel's rush caused Hording and Lilith to raise their heads at the same time, and the two of them looked at him together in surprise.

Hording was surprised and asked, "Mr. Raschel, why did you come in?"

Lilith shouted angrily, "Who is this person? This is so rude, how can you rush in without saying hello! What did you just say?"

Raschel was also stunned.

"I'm sorry, I mean...... I think I went to the wrong room. I wanted to see Master Siseddar Daniel and say goodbye to him. Looks like...... I'm so sorry. ”

"Are you looking for me?" The bathroom door next to the bedroom suddenly opened, revealing half of Cisserdar Daniel's body—his upper body was bare, and his head was wrapped in a bath towel.

"Young Master Dardanelle?" Raschel's face showed a smile of surprise, "So you are really here, you know that I have been looking for you." ”

"I had just taken a bath and was about to give my sister's dog a bath as well, but the little guy always hated bathing and he didn't cooperate at all. He had to hide every time he took a shower, and he liked to hide out of our reach, making himself dirty, as if he would lose money when he didn't. ”

Xiui replied with a smile, lifting the glasses on his face, "Hey, Barnett, haven't you coaxed him out yet? ”

Lilith replied angrily, "He had already come out, but this rude fellow suddenly pushed the door in and frightened him again!Heather, where did you get these savage, rude friends?" Huey looked at Raschel with an inquiring look in his eyes.

Raschel spread his hands: "Ah, I'm sorry. Really, I'm so sorry for my faux pas. In fact, I was just going to make a joke. So, I'll leave now. ”

Saying that, Raschel hurriedly exited the bedroom, and Lilith's angry roar came from behind him: "Heather, you better remember that the Dardanelles family is trying to become a high-class nobleman, and you must pay attention to etiquette in doing things. As the heir of the family, you can't make friends with such uncultivated people at will, which will ruin the reputation of the family and ruin all our efforts. As your sister, I won't allow you to associate with this kind of person anymore!"

Damn!, Raschel stomped his foot in indignation.

He hurriedly took out the communication crystal and said, "Chakra, cancel the operation, wait for me to come down." ”

Back in the parlor, Raschel grabbed the drunken Bailey and shouted angrily, "You idiot, you've disgraced me!"

Grabbed him by the collar and walked outside.

The picture in the crystal ball doesn't end until Raschel gets into the carriage.

"He's gone. Xiu Yi said coldly. He put away the crystal ball and ripped off the towel that was wrapped around his head, revealing the golden color of his head.

Coming out of the bathroom, Huey was wearing only a pair of shorts, the wounds on his thighs that had not yet fully healed, and the scars left here and there were from the fierce battle.

Under the big closet, Xu rushed out and threw himself into Shienyi's arms.

It was half black and half white, the result of not having time to apply all the potion.

"I'm going to see how Sandy is doing, Lilith, you take care of Huey, he's just been through a series of tough battles and needs someone to take care of him." ”

"Okay. Lilith replied.

Haddin goes out, and Lilith and Hue are left in the room.

Looking at the injuries on Xiuyi's body, she was slightly silent for a while, and she finally said, "It's difficult?"

"There's always something unexpected. A perfect action depends 50 percent on planning, and 50 percent on improvisation and luck. Thankfully, we made it through the first hurdle. Huey replied lightly.

"Will Raschel believe us, then?" Lilith began to remedicate Huey's wounds, a top-of-the-line ointment that would help Huey remove all of his scars.

"Nope. To Lilith's surprise, Huey shook his head and said, "Raschel will still doubt me, doubt us, in fact, we can't do anything in this matter." ”

"Why? I thought it was a very good show. ”

"Yes, it's outstanding. But Raschel is also a good hunter. Do you know what a good hunter relies on to catch his prey?" Thuy asked Lilith.

Lilith thought for a moment and replied, "Rich experience." ”

"And a keen intuition. Huey added, "Two abilities that a good hunter must have. We can fool the hunter's eyes and ears and nullify his experience by all means, but we can't fool the hunter's intuition. It's an instinct for danger, an innate sense of smell for prey, and no matter what we do, we can't hide each other's intuition. So no matter how good I do, Raschel will still doubt me. ”

"Doesn't that mean that everything we're doing now is useless?"

"No, how could it not be useful? know that an experienced hunter, although he has a keen intuition, is more dependent on experience. They are not people who act on instinct, and their intuition only gives them a sense of direction, but it does not give them a plan to do things. A hunter's instinct for his prey is like the relationship between his eyes and his feet. Intuition is the eye, which helps him see what he wants to see, and experience is the foot, which helps him touch what he seeks. ”

Speaking of this, Huey smiled: "Now Raschel's eyes are still active, still able to catch what he is trying to capture, but his feet are going in the other direction without heeding. He kept moving forward, but his eyes always stayed behind him, and the result was ...... Sooner or later, he will hit the wall. ”

Lilith burst out laughing, "It's an interesting analogy, Huey. ”

"If you like it, if you like. Xiu Yi said lightly: "Anyway, Raschel has been fooled, and from now on, I have every reason not to approach him anymore to avoid more revealing possibilities." Thank you, Lilith, for doing so well. ”

It was the first time Lilith had received a positive compliment from Huey, and it made her feel flattered.

"Willful, self-righteous young lady?" asked Lilith.

After thinking about it, Xiu Yi nodded and smiled: "Yes, that's right, the rude and willful eldest lady...... You're a good fit for the role. ”

Lilith laughed sheepishly.

The eyes of the two people looked at each other, and at that moment, all the mustard and unhappiness finally disappeared at this moment.

The next moment, Huey dragged Bogle out from underneath. This former ** master, who was extremely beautiful, now wears a forbidden magic ring, his hands and feet are tied, and a large piece of rag is stuffed in his mouth, and he has completely become Xiuyi's prisoner.

Looking at Master Bogle with a frightened face, Huey's lips pursed into a smug smile.

"Have a good dream, Master Borgle. This may be your last night. ”
