"Bastard! I've been friends with Leon for many years, do I still need an invitation? Diego's slender phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and a small light flashed from the gap in his eyes: "You guys don't know what to do, be careful that there is no good fruit to eat." ”

The two guards were under the visible and invisible pressure from the young master of this wealthy family, and they both sweated on their foreheads, but they still persisted. Just as Diego was about to have another attack, a long laugh sounded from behind the door: "Diego, don't embarrass them, they are just acting on orders." ”

Leon walked out with gusto. Patted the two guards on the shoulders and led them to the other side. Only then did he say to Diego: "If you want to blame me, I missed you." ”

"I think you did it on purpose, right?" Diego said with a gloomy face.

Leon said with an exaggerated expression: "How come, who doesn't know that we are good friends." ”

"Good friends?" Diego laughed dryly.

Leon turned to the side and spread his hand into the door: "Please." ”

Diego strode into the venue with two women in his arms, and none of the guests in the venue knew the young master of the Grant family. Especially after the previous press conference of magic equipment, although Diego was not as amazing and brilliant as Allen, he also showed his face. What's more, his dual status as a child of a wealthy family and a disciple of Master Lawrins is enough for these young people to make friends at the cocktail party.

For a while, Diego was surrounded by men and women, like flowers. In the center of the circle, Diego had a smile on his face, enjoying the feeling of being in the limelight.

Leon quietly walked back to the booth and said with a wry smile: "The Grant family has had some business dealings with us recently, so this kid is really not good to sweep him out." ”

Alan moved slightly when he heard this, the Grant family had joined forces with Alexander before, and regarded Beth Kod as the number one enemy. Now he is trying to cooperate with the William family, and the Grant family naturally knows the relationship between the William family and Beth Kod. This has a deep implication in itself, and it should have happened after Main moved closer to Mobile, whether it was the recent reparations of the Alexander family, or the fact that Main broke the unwritten rule among the nobility, which made the Grant family reconsider their attitude towards Alexander.

The relationship between the extended families has always changed frequently, as businessmen often say. There are no permanent enemies, only eternal interests. The same is true of the family, and unless it is an irresolvable blood feud, there is rarely long-term hostility between the family.

Of course, the direction of family relationships always lies in the overall situation. As for the friction between juniors in private, as long as there is no major incident, those big people in the family will not ask. So tonight, Diego obviously took advantage of the change in family relations to step on Leon's field. Because he knew that Leon had to turn a blind eye to some of his practices out of family considerations.

These thoughts flashed through Alan's mind, and he suddenly felt a little irritable, only to realize that the communication between families was far more complicated than on the battlefield in the outer lands. In contrast, he prefers the Outland battlefield. There's more directness and purity.

Footsteps rang out.

But it was Diego who moved to the booth, and Leon frowned. Just about to get up, he held Alan down. Diego Shi Ran walked to the booth and said exaggeratedly: "It's really amazing, it turns out that Young Master Allen has returned." I thought you would never come back, and if that were the case, many people would be sad. ”

"Young Master Nadiago must be the happiest one. But now, I don't think Master Diego should be happy, right? Alan didn't have Leon's scruples, so naturally he didn't need to pay attention to Diego's feelings.

Diego's face changed slightly, but he laughed again. But he didn't entangle with Allen, and to the surprise of several people in the seat, he looked at Adele: "It turns out that the young lady of the Mosen family is here, Miss Adele." I really don't know where your Mowson family got the confidence to refuse the marriage of our Grant family. Do you think that if you catch up with Allen, you will really get on the chariot of Bethcord? If that's the case, why don't you two move now? ”

Since the beginning of the reception, Adele has been unusual, drinking silently by herself. Now when I heard Diego say this, I raised my head and said: "Even if all the men in the world die, I won't marry you, Diego!" ”

Diego's face suddenly became difficult to look at, and he snorted coldly: "Don't think that old Kate can protect you. He can protect you for a while, can't he protect you for the rest of your life? If something happens to old Kate, the rest of your family will want to send you to my bed so that we can get Grant's kindness. When the time comes, I'm going to have a good taste of you little goblin! ”

As soon as the words fell, a chilling killing intent suddenly covered Diego's body. Diego shivered on the spot, as if he had brushed against a sharp blade, and immediately retreated. Then his eyes fell on Allen, knowing that he had just inspired the killing intention.

Alan slowly looked at Diego, his face was calm, but his voice was like a cold wind whistling in the polar region: "Even if there is no Mr. Kate, there is still me." As long as Adele is unwilling, no one will try to force her, including you Diego. ”

Jin Liancheng got an oriental folding fan out of nowhere, and suddenly unfolded. As the fan unfolds, the falling flowers on it seem to come to life, and there is a slight fragrance on the seat. He shook his fan and smiled: "Jin is not talented, but he is also willing to be the person who protects the flowers." ”

"You are called a noisy leader." Leon shook his head, looked at Diego and said, "Adele is my best friend, Diego, it's better to keep your claws away." Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll chop it off if I'm not careful. ”

The son of the William family said with a smile, and outsiders didn't know that they thought he was joking. But his eyes were sharp, but there was no taste of half-parted jokes. Diego's face was white and green, he stepped back a little, and sneered: "Okay, let's see." ”

He said to Allen again: "By the way, the planet you discovered, the Federation has named it Heavenly Star. And due to the abundance of materials on the Heavenly Star, its level has far exceeded your Bethcord's development qualifications. So this time, the Federation opened the planet to several other families. We Grant have been authorized, and I am organizing an expeditionary force, and I believe that it will not be long before we can meet on the planet Heaven. ”

Adele's face tightened and she looked at Alan. The latter's expression was calm, and when he returned, Alan had expected such a situation, a planet larger than the Earth and rich in resources, and it was impossible for the Federation to let Bethcord monopolize it. Alan even thought that the Federation would monopolize it, and now it was much better than he expected to open it to several other families to participate in colonial development.

He smiled and said, "Welcome, but I want to remind Young Master Diego." The natives of that planet are not very friendly, and Master Diego should be careful of losing his money. ”

"It's you who should be worried, pray that you don't get bumped into by me on the Heavenly Star." Leaving this sentence, Diego embraced the beauty and left.

Looking at his back, Alan shook his head and said, "I really hope I can meet him, so that I can get an extra military fee at Grant's house, right?" ”

Leon laughed, raised his glass and said, "Come, don't talk about those unpleasant things, drink!" ”

By the time the party was over, Adele was already drunk. She drank a lot, obviously unhappy, and for this, the three of Allen were also quite helpless. When leaving, Alan was in charge of sending Adele back. As the car drove on the way to Mowson's house, Adele leaned on Alan's shoulder, looking half-drunk and half-conscious. Due to the effect of alcohol, Adele's face is flushed, and her appearance is delicate and moving. From time to time, she frowned deeply, and I felt pity.

The car stopped beside a tree-lined avenue leading to Mowson's house, and Adele pushed the door open and staggered out of the car. The night breeze blew, and she couldn't hold back any longer, so she threw up on the side of the road. Alan hurriedly patted her on the back, but watched Adele vomit to the end, but cried. He sighed and said, "Adele, don't be sad. Like I said earlier, even if the family doesn't protect you, you still have me. And Liancheng and Leon, we will protect you. ”

Adele shook her head, took out a tissue from her bag and wiped her eyes, stood up and said, "You don't understand." ”

She staggered forward, and Eren followed to hold her. Adele glanced at him, leaned on him, and said, "One night, Grandpa asked me if I really love you. ”

Allen's body shook slightly, and he didn't speak.

Adele smiled self-deprecatingly: "I thought about it for a long time that night, and found that from beginning to end, I just blindly pestered you. But I didn't think about whether I loved you or not. You may not know that before we were on an expedition, Liancheng also came to me. Although he said something different, the meaning was similar to that of his grandfather. It's just that I didn't think much of it at the time, and I didn't want to pay attention to it. I just want to borrow you from the family and get rid of your obligations as a woman in the family. Even, use you to gain more power......"

"I'm desperate to catch something, and I've been like that since I've been sensible. Step on someone else's shoulder and see the scenery farther away. So you see, I don't deserve the promises you made just now. Adele grabbed Alan's hand tightly and buried her head low: "I've always been afraid that you would find out about this, and if you knew, you would hate me." I don't know if I love you or not, but I feel sad at the thought of not being able to be with you. ”

"Alan, what the hell am I going to do......"

On this slightly cool night, the girl known as the fairy took off all her disguises and showed her weakness without reservation. At this moment, Alan could feel her helplessness and hesitation. He took a deep breath and said, "Adele, I'm glad you said these words so that I can hear your heart. What I want to tell you is that we can still explore and have adventures together if you want to. I promise that you will not let anyone or anything interfere with your wishes. ”

"As long as you want!" R1058
