Chapter 48: I'm Not a Star at a Banquet
"Damn, I know that Jessica was deceived by that little white face, maybe this kidnapping was instigated by him, and it was simply a farce directed and acted by himself. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info "After listening to the description of the Aix version, the teenager's anger value has exploded.
"Aivan, calm down, don't act rashly if you don't figure things out." A friend of the teenager hurriedly persuaded him, after all, now Jesica and Barry are now just like one person, and now if they go to Barry's trouble, a fool can guess that Jesica will definitely come forward to stop it, if the two sides are deadlocked, then they can only break up unhappily, maybe they won't even be friends in the future.
"Am I going to watch Jessica being deceived by that liar?" Evan said angrily, but fortunately, he hadn't lost his mind yet, and knew what the occasion was, so he deliberately lowered his voice.
"I didn't say it didn't matter, but we needed to think of a way, we couldn't just go on a rampage, and then we could only hit ourselves on the head and bleed."
"I didn't ask, this beauty is ......" Ax suddenly spoke, towards the person who had been blocking Aven, in fact, the girl was not pretty, but she had a small round face, and she looked very cute.
"I don't care what I call it, thank you very much for telling us these things, I will definitely repay this matter." The girl looked at Ax viciously, and she hated the initiator so much. What Ax said, they will definitely find out in a few days, but after Aix's personal emotional narration, it has already misled Aven. Therefore, the girl's return is by no means a good thing.
"Brother Aiwen, love is to be fought for, if you don't even dare to say it, you are doomed to be a loser." After Ax finished speaking, he glanced at the girl meaningfully, and then left his seat and returned to Tina.
"How? It doesn't seem to have succeeded, and I don't know who boasted about Haikou before leaving, but I didn't expect to be scolded back by a little sister after such a while. Tina's location wasn't far away, and it didn't take much effort to hear the conversation clearly.
"Who said I didn't succeed, not only did I succeed, but there was also a windfall." After Aix finished speaking, he glanced at the city lord of Moonlight City, who was standing in the center of the banquet hall and accompanying the councilor, and whispered, "If you want to use me, how can you not pay some price." ā
At this time, the Bruce Roy Councillor had just finished his speech, and the city lord spoke: "Everyone may know, my baby daughter was kidnapped by a gang of gangsters a few days ago, and I hope to strengthen the security of Moonlight City." Luckily, however, my baby Jessica met two teenage heroes, and thanks to their help, my baby was finally rescued safe and sound. Now, I invite these two young talents, Barry and Aix. ā
"It's your turn." Tina slipped a piece of cake into her mouth and mumbled.
"I know, it's just a show." Ax tidied up his dress, walked to the center of the banquet hall with a smile, and for the eyes of the people around him, because he didn't care, he didn't care, and naturally came to the city lord's side, and Barry was not far away because he had been staying by Jesica's side, and the two were already waiting there. So, it seems that everyone is waiting for Aix, as if Ax has become the protagonist.
"Hmph, pretend." Jessega whispered dissatisfiedly about Aix's behavior, but although it was a whisper, it was just enough for the nearby city lords, Barry, and Ax to hear, while the guests outside couldn't hear what she was saying, and would only think that she was saying hello to Aix.
"Miss Jessica, you are definitely the best lady of the night." Aix's greeting didn't need to be whispered, all the guests could hear it, and they all thought they were praising Jesica, but the three people nearby heard Jesica's previous words, and they all understood the irony of Aix's words.
"Thank you!" Jessica could only reluctantly smile and replied, as a lady, if she couldn't respond to other people's compliments, then it would be a little too much, but this was tantamount to slapping herself in the face, at this time, this Miss Jessica had already greeted Aix's eighteenth ancestor, but she still had to keep a smile on her face.
"Okay, now I'll introduce you to these two young talents. This is Barry, a top student beyond the academy. When everyone heard that Barry was from the Transcendental Academy, they all paid attention to it, because the status of the Transcendental Academy in Ionia was definitely transcendent, and it was the most famous academy in the Runeterras, and the son of the stars, Soraka, was once a student of that academy, so every student of the Transcendental Academy would have a bright future.
Hearing the introduction of the city lord, everyone was looking at this young man named Barry, and seeing the attitude of the city lord's daughter towards him before, it was obvious that he had exceeded the limit of treating his life-saving benefactor, maybe he would become the son-in-law of Moonlight City in a few days, and some people were even planning to befriend this upstart of Moonlight City for a while.
"Okay, everyone, be quiet, the next one is also very remarkable, he used to practice with Master Yi, and helped Ionia hide important treasures, Twilight Eye Shen also values it very much, and specially asked me to take care of it on my behalf! This is the Ax kid. ā
The city lord's introduction to Aix obviously made everyone not come back to their senses, just now I thought that the high-achieving student who surpassed the academy was enough to surprise people, but I didn't expect this one to be more fierce and valued by the two big shots. As a result, everyone's gaze at Ax was no longer pure, and even the Congressman Bruce Roy turned his head slightly to look at Aix, as if he was remembering something.
The introduction of the city lord of Moonlight City also surprised Ax, he didn't expect him to announce these in public, and he didn't reveal any of these to Ax before the banquet. Aix believed that if he had the heart to investigate, he would not be able to hide his own affairs, but he did not expect that the city lord would throw it out on such an occasion and make a temporary decision? Impossible, this kind of old fox has always planned and then acted, suddenly, Aix felt a suppressed gaze, Aix didn't look back and knew that it was Councilman Bruce Roy, was it because of him?
At this time, Aix couldn't deny anything, and could only humbly nod his head to all the guests in thanks, and when he faced the Roy Councilor, the two looked at each other for a moment and staggered their gazes, as if nothing had happened.
After introducing the two, Ax was surrounded by a large group of ladies and ladies, all of whom asked Ax if he was married, if he had anyone he liked, and what type of girl he liked. In short, it is a group of matchmakers with the name of a noblewoman, and Aix has become a sought-after item.
Finally, Ax finally got rid of the entanglement of those noble ladies, and for this, the price Aix paid was to agree to countless family dinners and date Miss Qianjin.
When Ax finally returned to his seat, he found that there was one more person, except for Tina, who was still eating there, and that Bruce Roy was also sitting on the side, as if waiting for Aix.
"Looks like you're the star of the night!" Congressman Roy picked up his glass and toasted it. Ax happened to be thirsty, so he directly picked up the wine glass and drank it directly, which made Roy stunned, he didn't expect Ax to toast, glanced at the red wine he still had more than half left, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's better to be young!" ā
"It's not that it's young, it's that it's on the muzzle." Aix sat down, relaxed, and said as if sighing and complaining.
"Bumped into the muzzle? That's a fitting phrase. Councillor Roy said with a smile.
"So, our Grand Councillor, why did you come to this cusp at this point in time, don't tell me that you are also here to enjoy the scenery." Aix joked, as if he were talking to an old friend. You must know that the identities and status of the two are very different, and Aix can talk to each other in this tone, which shows that they are on an equal footing.
"In what position do you ask this question? On behalf of Shen or Master Yi, or on behalf of the city lord of Moonlight City? Councillor Roy asked earnestly, as it was related to his position in the next conversation with Aix.
"Personally, a friend of Ionia, at least I think I helped Ionia." Ax shrugged his shoulders as if in response to the other's words.
"I agree with you." Councilor Roy relaxed his body again, leaned back in his chair, and said in a relaxed tone, and said to Aix: "The current Ionia is like a ruin after the war, waiting for construction, but for the construction plan, there are several plans, all parties are competing for each other, each does not give in, even if it is people in the same camp, there is also a competition for interests. In their eyes, Ionia is like a big cake, and everyone wants to take a bite, but they seem to have forgotten that Ionia belongs to all the people of Ionia. ā
Councillor Roy's tone became more and more agitated, but he didn't utter any drastic language in the end, after all, this was not his home.
Suddenly, Aix's eyes were attracted by a person, it was the Evan who he had kindly told Jessega to be kidnapped, at this time, although the young man was holding back his anger, but the anger in his eyes could not be concealed, behind him, the girl was trying to pull him, and kept persuading, but unfortunately, a red-eyed bull, obviously could not listen to anything.
When the girl walked up to Aix, she glared at Ax viciously, because all this was provoked by Aix, and this provocation was not only for the young men of Jessica and Aven, but also for the family behind them.
"It seems that there is a good show to watch, and there is, I am not the star of this banquet, they are." Aix said jokingly, and then, no longer gossiping with Councillor Roy, he watched Evan to see how the show would go.
