17:00, seaside hotel.
"This is the hotel that was booked by the Lukes family to hold a birthday party for the second lady. It's really quite grand." Kalida walked into the birthday party, which is located in a magnificent seaside hotel. above the emerald waves.
Sunlight shines through the large glass windows into the spacious banquet hall, reflecting the twinkling light and decorating the entire venue as beautifully as a fairyland. "This hotel is too close to the seaside. It cost me a lot of money to take a taxi here. I really miss the days when there was a jump device." Khalida said, dressing up as "Carly" in the dressing room After "Da", we came to the banquet hall.
The decoration in the banquet hall is exquisite and stylish, with rose gold chandeliers emitting soft light, reflecting the large oil paintings and gorgeous wall hangings on the walls.
Tall marble pillars and carved railings intersect with each other, seeming to separate the entire space into small worlds.
"Who is the girl playing the piano? Fross?" Kalida looked carefully at the source of the sound. The person playing the piano was none other than Fross.
At this time, Floss was sitting in front of the piano, her fingers gently covering the keys, as if touching the softness of the world.
Her fingertips danced like a group of elves dancing in the air.
The notes under the keys seemed to feel her agility and jumped with joy.
She raised her head slightly, her eyes gentle and focused, as if she had some mysterious tacit understanding with the piano keys.
"She's so beautiful." Kalida almost fell in love looking at such a versatile and perfect second lady.
He remembered that he had fallen in love with Dr. Ling for some unknown reason. The Frossi in front of him was so much more perfect than Dr. Ling.
"You're here! Kalida." Fros's fingers gently stopped on the keys, and the notes seemed to still be reverberating around the beams. However, her voice did not echo here. Instead, she warmly entertained Kalida.
"I'm here, Fross." Kalida was deeply attracted by Fross's beautiful dress, and she became at a loss for a moment.
"Haha, I didn't expect you to show up at the birthday party as a girl." Floss smiled mischievously.
"Uh... I'm worried that you won't be able to recognize me if I dress like a normal boy, but this is my first time on such an occasion."
"Haha, you're really cute when you get nervous."
"Uh... even if I am nervous, I will not forget the purpose of today. By the way, Floss, this is your birthday gift." Kalida took out a small gift made of rose petals and handed it to Floss.
"This is my favorite rose petal sachet. Thank you. It seems you understand a girl's thoughts quite well." Floss took the gift with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"Ah hahaha, as long as you don't dislike it." Kalida was glad that she usually read books on how to get along with girls, and she knew a lot about girls' preferences.
"Does Khalida play the piano too? Maybe we can play a song together."
"Not at all. I can only play a few children's songs on the guitar."
"What a pity. I have to continue playing the piano. You can find out what you want to investigate next from the guests present." After finishing speaking, Floss bowed and returned to the piano to continue playing.
"Even if you ask me to greet the guests here, I don't know who I should talk to?" Khalida looked at the tables in the hall filled with exquisite meals and various drinks. People were wearing high-end dresses and they were all talking and laughing.
Khalida secretly observed everyone, trying to find clues related to the silver-blooded people. He found that many of these people exuded a distinctive temperament, as if they were hiding some kind of secret.
He secretly speculated that most of these people were also group CEOs who had a cooperative relationship with the Lukes family, and even the people here had very close relationships with the Black and White.
Worried that he would get into trouble if he was not careful, he did not dare to take the initiative to strike up a conversation with anyone who knew anything about Silver-blooded people.
"You are Fros's friend, right?" Then, a blond boy wearing a gorgeous suit, Adil, came to Kalida.
"Who are you?" Kalida asked.
"I am Adil Lux, Frossi's brother."
"Uh...Hello, I'm Kalida."
"I heard Fross mention you. You want to know about the silver-blooded people."
"That's right. Does Mr. Adil know anything about the silver-blooded people?" Kalida asked tentatively.
"Silver-blooded people, they are different from blood demons. No one knows how they were born. The only thing that is known is that they can imitate humans and lurk in human society. It is said that people who have seen the true face of silver-blooded people They will all be killed," Aidil said.
"So, the security guard of the community was killed only after he saw the true appearance of the silver-blooded man." Kalida pondered, and at this time, Fross's performance came from the banquet hall again.
Listening to Floss's playing, Adil turned his attention to Floss.
"We are the only two brothers and sisters in the Lukes family who depend on each other. She will definitely become the most outstanding head of the Lukes family in the future." Adil looked at Floss, who was playing gracefully, with hope in her eyes.
"Why do you let your sister become the head of the family? Don't sons usually inherit their father's business?" Kalida asked.
"Our mother died when we were young, our father was killed by a cobra, and my sister has also disappeared. Now only Floss and I can support the Lukes family. Making my sister the head of the family makes it easier for me to protect her at any time, and I also want to Seek revenge from Cobra." Speaking of Cobra, Adil's eyes became sharp.
"(Cobra? Is it Makate? Why did he kill Adil's father when he crossed over to this world? Is there any misunderstanding?)" Only then did Kalida realize that Adil wanted to kill Makate as his father. Revenge, but Makate is his good brother who he grew up with, and he will not let Adil kill him no matter what.
"Khalida, no, it should be Mr. Kalida. Our Lukes family sincerely invites you to work with us to revive the Lukes family." Adil said sincerely.
"Sorry, I'm not in the mood right now. I just want to find out the silver-blooded man pretending to be Horlock." Kalida thought, there was no way she would join the Lukes family and become the enemy of Makart and Zhu Chiyun. At the moment I had no choice but to find a way to decline.
"It doesn't matter. When you think about joining, our Lukes family welcomes you at any time."
Then, Adil did not talk about letting him join the Lukes family. Instead, he introduced him to various upper-class people, and even arranged for him to sit next to Floss during the meal to celebrate her birthday.
At this time, Kalida also felt that Adil and Floss didn't look like bad people.
But why did Makate kill their father, and what happened?
"(I still don't know anything about the Lukes family when I first came to this world. I'd better ask about the Lukes family when I meet Makate.)"
After the meal, the entertainment program also started, and I saw pairs of men and women dancing waltz together in the ballroom.
Kalida looked at Fross's charming and beautiful face and suddenly turned red. Although he wanted to invite Fross to dance together, he was dressed in women's clothing and didn't know how to speak.
Suddenly, when he mustered up the courage to invite Floss, a man in a black suit walked in front of Kalida. He looked at Kalida with gentle and kind eyes.
"You are!" Kalida immediately became wary when she saw the man in front of her.
"Are you Kalida? The girl brought here by Miss Frossi is really beautiful." The person in front of me said, with a hint of deep magnetism in her voice. "You are Yao Xiu, right." Kalida stared at the man in front of her with a serious face. That was because he knew that this man was his counterpart in this parallel world, Yao Xiu.
"Yes, I am Yao Xiu. I am now the chief bodyguard at the Lukes family's birthday party. Adil told me that you are very interested in silver-blooded people. If you are willing to dance with me, I can tell you something. About the secret of the silver-blooded people." Yao Xiu said with enthusiasm. Kalida wanted to reject Yao Xiu's sudden appearance immediately, but in order to get more information about the silver-blooded people, he only nodded in agreement.
