Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Late Night Feast
"Smack!"
The vase was slammed to the ground and shattered.
"Why are you inviting that bastard! Father!? β
Helen stood in the living room with a huff, glaring at a gloomy Keller.
"Now is not the time for you to be willful."
Looking at his daughter's face, Keller sighed, but then, his attitude immediately hardened.
"In any case, someone else saved your life, and you have to show something, have you forgotten what I taught you before?"
Helen shrank back at the sound of her father's roar, but soon she was ashamed of her cowardice and jumped again.
"I don't care, I hate that guy anyway, and I'm never going to thank him! I won't go to death! β
"You're ......! You bastard.........! β
Pointing to his daughter who dared to argue with him, Keller's face turned pale, he couldn't figure out why his daughter, who always followed everything in everything, was so stubborn this time, didn't she have any brains at all?
"Go down! Let me go down! You keep me in my room tonight, and I'm not allowed to go anywhere!" β
"If you don't go, you won't go!"
Helen stomped her foot and turned away in a huff, while Keller watched her daughter's back disappear before she sighed and sat back in her chair. At this moment, his face showed an extremely tired expression, and his originally resolute face even looked a little old.
He felt tired.
"Adult ........."
Ben cautiously walked over from the side and bowed respectfully to Keller, and he asked hesitantly as he observed the patriarch's face.
"Miss'........."
"You take care of her, don't let her out of the room tonight."
Keller waved his hand weakly, then let out a long sigh and waved his hand impatiently while holding his forehead.
"Go down, I'm tired and need a rest. Tell me to go down and inform me as soon as the gentleman arrives, that I will greet him personally. β
"Yes."
After receiving Keller's order, Ben immediately turned to leave, while Keller closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time. Now he is under a lot of pressure, not only these irritable trivial matters at home, but also a headache on the side of the Merchant Association, after the other party actually tried to kidnap his daughter to threaten him, Keller has decided to draw a line with the Merchant Association, he doesn't know how these guys who have nothing but money in their heads can suddenly become so bold, but he has decided that he will definitely not participate in it. To be on the safe side, he even ordered Helen not to go out, at least until the matter was completely over, and she had to stay at home all the time. Keller knew that this made Helen very unhappy, but he had to do it, and the personal feelings of an heir could be completely ignored in the face of the interests of the family.
Lately, Keller has been feeling a little frightened, as if something is wrong, but he can't see it. Although there was no movement on the Golden City's side, Keller knew that this was not without problems. You must know that the young lady has always done things after making plans, and when there is movement on the side of the Golden City, then it means that her neck is not far from the gallows.
After thinking for a moment, Keller shook his head irritably, since he couldn't figure it out, don't think about it, at this dinner, the president of the Mercenary Association of Deep Rock City and the city lord will attend, it seems that he must talk to them about this matter, you must know that the matter is very important, you can't wait for death to come to think about it. Originally, Keller didn't plan to explain it because it was a problem within the businessman after all, but since the kidnapping incident, he felt that the development of things seemed to be a little strange, and if it was just an ordinary business dispute, it would be impossible to take such drastic and extreme measures. β¦,
No matter what the other party wants to do, you must be fully prepared.
Thinking of this, Keller couldn't help but think of the young man who saved his daughter, although Deep Rock City is not a small city, and it is not easy to find people. But it was not difficult to investigate the information about Rhodes, for no other reason, but the young man was too high-profile.
As soon as he came to Deep Rock City, he was assessed by Serek's mercenary and won the victory. After that, he inherited the quota of a mercenary group and became the leader of a mercenary group with only two people. He even spent money to buy the most famous Cyrell murder mansion in Deep Rock City, and according to rumors, the young man was still very beautifulβββ I have to say, if it wasn't for the fact that everything was not easy, it was really hard not to wonder if he was deliberately in the limelight to attract the attention of others.
What surprised Keller even more was that this young man actually led his "miniature" mercenary group to victory and completed the four-star Pavel Cemetery, although many people doubted the authenticity of this rumor, but the skull and staff of the necromancer received by the mercenary association were real, not half false.
Rhodes didn't know what to say, there were many mercenaries watching his movements now, after all, since he had the ability to lead such a small number of people to complete such a dangerous mission, he must have his merits. Mercenaries are also human beings, so they naturally want to be able to serve under the hands of the strong, you must know that they sell their lives, since they are also selling their lives, then it is better to be a member of a powerful mercenary group than to live under a boss who does nothing.
I don't know what kind of person this young man is?
Keller closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
When night falls, the previously quiet upper neighborhood begins to come alive.
The gorgeous lights and luxuriously decorated carriages are close and close, which is the best time for the nobles to connect with each other and have a relationship. Banquets and parties, whether they are legitimate or inappropriate, are all opened under the cover of night, bringing wonderful enjoyment to everyone.
And today's banquet is even more lively.
"There are still so many people in this hellish place."
Stepping out of the carriage, the elder glared at his eyes unhappily at the nobles in fine costumes around him.
"Every time I come here, I feel like I'm in the market, and I hear a thousand ducks crowing in my ear, and it's so uncomfortable!"
"Alright, old friend, Mr. Keller is rarely invited, so don't look for anything wrong here."
Compared to the slightly casually dressed guild leader, Serekze's dress was much more elegant and luxurious, this celebrity in Deep Rock City was completely aristocratic today, except for the magic sword that never left his waist at his waist, no matter how you looked at it, this sword master looked like a middle-aged nobleman with a high education and good education.
"That guy guess he's getting into trouble."
Ignoring the disgruntled gaze from the attendant next to him, the elder walked into the brightly lit hall, then took out his pipe and struck it vigorously.
"Otherwise, how could he be so low-voiced? Well? You see, even the old fox Krauser is here. Looks like something must have happened. β
"Perhaps, I heard from a friend that the Merchants' Association seems to have been in turmoil lately, but......... If it were just these problems, he wouldn't have wanted to ask our Mercenary Association and the City Lord of Krauser to help solve them. What do you think...... What could it be? β
"I'm not interested in these troublesome things, and if anyone dares to come to me for trouble, it's the easiest thing to smash to death with a hammer, don't you think so?"
"That's not right, after all, ............"
Before Serek could finish his sentence, the door opened again. β¦,
And the originally noisy people in the hall were also quiet at this moment.
For these nobles, there were few things that moved them, but now, they completely diverted their attention and set their eyes on the three new faces who walked in.
Rhodes, who walked in the front, was wearing dark clothes, some pale skin and a slightly thin figure looked a little weak, and his long black hair was draped down, reflecting the striking face, with Rhodes's unique coldness and seriousness, but it produced a bit of strange charm.
And the two girls who followed him were equally dazzling.
Marlene's outfit hadn't changed much, she was still wearing that sumptuous robe, and the faint magical glow flickered with her master's movements, showing her mysterious beauty. Coupled with the ruby staff held in the girl's hand, it immediately exudes an aura that no one can enter.
Compared with these two eye-catching people, Lijie's dress is relatively low-key, and the white dress is neat and elegant, like a slim lily, which is endearing.
Although there were many people present, the unique momentum of the three people still attracted the attention of many people, and soon, they began to talk to each other in private, asking about the origin of these three people.
"Huh......... It seems that the hillbilly banquet is a little more tasteful than I thought. β
Marlene completely ignored the crowd around her, just looked around carefully with critical eyes, and then said with a slight mockery.
"Marlene, Marlene, that's rude."
Lijie reached out, gently grabbed Marlene's sleeve, and whispered advice to the side.
"Nothing to worry about, take it easy, Lijie."
But Marlene apparently didn't take Lijie's advice to heart.
"It's just a matter of coming out to relax and have fun, and besides, Miss Ben's willingness to deign to come to this kind of hillbilly aristocratic banquet has already given him enough face, and people must know how to be happy."
At the same time as Marlene spoke, I saw a middle-aged man dressed in a gorgeous costume with a resolute face come to the door, and after seeing Rod and the others, his eyes lit up and he immediately walked up.
"Hello, Mr. Rhodes......... I'm Clayte. Keller, I've been hoping to meet you ever since I heard about you from my little girl, and now I've finally gotten what I wanted. On behalf of the Keller family, I welcome you to this dinner. β
"You're welcome, Mr. Clete, it's my pleasure to have your invitation."
Facing the middle-aged man in front of him, Rod replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, although he is not a nobleman, but in the game, he has also participated in this kind of event many times, as the saying goes, he has never eaten pork and watched the pig run, and these communicative terms between the nobles have long been familiar to Rode. Hearing Rod's answer, Clay smiled slightly, and then he moved his gaze behind Rod.
"You're welcome, these two are ........."
"Hello."
Marlene took a half-step forward and lifted the hem of her skirt slightly.
"I'm Marlene. Shania, it's a pleasure to meet you, Dear Clay. Mr. Keller. β
"Shania?"
Hearing Marlene's answer, Clay was slightly stunned, and a trace of surprise immediately flashed in his gaze when he looked at Rod.
This young man still has a relationship with the people of the Shania family?
What is he?
