The air on cold winter nights is always desolate and merciless.
But tonight, the chill is even more unbridled.
Victor's appearance caused many people standing at the door to look over unconsciously.
Feeling the oncoming cold whirlwind, the venue, which originally seemed a bit noisy, became much quieter at this moment.
It was as if a chill had penetrated his bones, and the surrounding atmosphere gradually cooled down.
All the nobles held their wine glasses, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, and remained motionless.
Kokot was sitting on the clouds outside the carriage, enjoying the cold wind comfortably.
Suddenly she felt an even colder wind blowing across her body, making her shiver.
After coming back to her senses, she looked in the direction of the cold feeling.
When his eyes passed the door of the banquet hall, Kokot's eyes suddenly lit up.
Isn't that Victor?
The moment he saw Victor, Kokot laid his body on the clouds.
He lowered half of his body from the roof of the car, stood on his head, and said to Liya sitting in the carriage along the window:
"Liya Liya, look over there."
Liya, who was still sitting in the carriage, was not in a good mood.
His brows were furrowed and he felt a little anxious.
After all, Victor hasn't arrived yet, and Liya thought Victor had let go again.
But after hearing Kokot's words, she was still a little curious and looked in the direction of Kokot's gestures.
The familiar black trench coat immediately caught her eye.
This made Liya slightly stunned, she narrowed her eyes and looked at it carefully.
Well, sure.
It's Victor.
After all, in a scene like today, only Victor would like to appear in an old-fashioned black windbreaker.
but……
"Why didn't he come to me and just went there by himself?"
Liya felt a little strange and looked at Victor's gaze again, then she felt something was wrong.
At this time, he was standing in front of Gwen.
And in front of him, there seemed to be another person standing, who looked familiar.
Liya frowned slightly and looked at it carefully for a while.
Oops, I remembered it.
Isn't this the head of the Reese family?
"Is this Leiser family starting to get sick again?"
After all, people in the Reiser family have fallen ill not once or twice, starting with Professor Devin at the beginning, and then with that Jace.
Look at this, each of the three father and son have to offend Victor once before they will be satisfied?
At this time, Kokot's voice came from the roof of the car, leisurely and relaxed:
"Victor is here, should we go there now?"
"Um……"
Liya put her hands on the car window, gently lifted the ends of her hair, and looked in the direction of Victor with interest.
While watching, he said:
"Don't worry, let's see what Victor wants to do first."
Victor is not the kind of person who just looks for trouble.
If Victor really got to that point, obviously, he must think there was something wrong with the other party.
At the same time, there was silence in front of the banquet hall.
Victor still had that cold look in his eyes, as if he was looking at Lipoot without a trace of emotion.
The atmosphere seemed particularly solemn and cold.
In such an atmosphere, Lipoot still smiled and looked at Victor in front of him with a smile.
None of these nobles dared to speak and could only watch the confrontation between the two.
They looked at Victor and then back at Lipoot.
There were few people present who didn't understand the feud between the Reiser family and the Cravenner family.
And these two are both prominent people, no matter who they are, they have extremely high influence.
Obviously, at present, the most important thing about this banquet is no longer the elves.
How to prevent these two people from quarreling.
After all, if they really want to take action, they can't say what will happen to Lipoot.
Victor might be able to blow up the entire banquet hall.
In order to relieve the condensed atmosphere before the banquet, the nobles took the initiative to speak to Lipoot:
"Mr. Lipoot, I think you'd better get yourself checked out."
"Indeed, Mr. Lipoot, today is a special situation after all."
Today's banquet is very important, and the most important thing is to protect the elves who appear in the banquet hall.
After all, the elves must not be harmed in any way, otherwise they will attract the wrath of nature.
Therefore, no one is allowed to enter the banquet hall with weapons or dangerous items that may contain magic.
The other nobles also understand this and have cooperated with the knights to complete the security check.
So when Gwen stepped out to intercept Lipoot, no one around him said much.
After all, Gwen is not only the Knight Commander of the Imperial Knights, but also a Earl with a high status.
Her status within the empire is not low, and generally no one can reach her height.
In addition, Gwen not only has such an identity, she is also Victor's fiancée.
This relationship alone is enough to keep everyone silent.
Although today's banquet is funded by the Reiser family, rules are rules after all.
At this time, Lipoot looked past Victor again and looked at Gwen behind him.
At this time, Lipoot, who had come to his senses, finally noticed something unusual about Gwen.
No wonder he just made a stupid mistake like a gaffe.
The light of justice emanating from this female knight is as dazzling as the blazing sun, making it difficult to look directly at her.
'It's justice that can't be ignored. '
Disgusting.
But he still suppressed his emotions and took off his hat politely.
He bent his body slightly and bowed to Gwen.
Although his voice was soft, it was filled with sincere apology:
"I'm very sorry. I was rude just now."
"I am willing to cooperate with the examination."
The other nobles all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. Fortunately, Mr. Lipoot was easier to talk to.
Hearing this, the other nobles breathed a sigh of relief. They all knew the subtle relationship between the Cravenna family and the Reiser family.
Fortunately, as a businessman, Mr. Lipoot is relatively knowledgeable and easy to talk to.
So Gwen waved gently, and a group of knights in shining armor quickly gathered around.
Each of them held a crystal clear gem in their hands, aiming it at Lipoot's body.
Rays of pale light burst out from the center of the gem, shining around Lipoot's body.
The light surrounded him, scanning him meticulously from head to toe.
The knights stared intently at the gems in their hands, checking for any unusual reactions.
Fortunately, no signs of metal weapons or magical items were found on Lipoot.
The knights put away the gems, put their arms on their chests, gave Lipoot a knightly salute, and then said politely:
"Everything is normal, sir, please have free passage."
They then dispersed and continued to use the gems just now to check the other arriving nobles.
Lipoot put on his hat again, looked up at Victor, smiled and said:
"It seems that you are Mr. Victor Cravener."
"When we meet for the first time, I want to apologize to you for my two ignorant sons."
He turned to Gwen again, with a sincere smile flashing in his eyes:
"You two are really perfect for each other. If there is a wedding day, please be sure to notify me to attend."
After speaking, he nodded elegantly to Victor and continued:
"I have been looking forward to meeting you to clear up any misunderstandings between us."
"But today may not be the best time. There are still many guests waiting. Please forgive me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lipoot turned and walked towards the splendid banquet hall.
The surrounding nobles also followed his steps and rushed into the banquet hall.
When the other nobles passed by Victor, their hearts beat faster.
Although they were reluctant, they still managed to smile and nodded politely to Victor.
Until the people around them are completely gone and no one is paying attention to them.
Victor turned around and looked at Gwen.
But Gwen was still staring at Lipoot's leaving figure, with no intention of looking away.
"what have you found?"
Gwen looked at Lipoot and the nobles chatting seriously, and slowly spoke:
"This person has a very false feeling."
True and false, false and true.
If you say it, maybe even the other person himself doesn't know how true or false it is.
Victor also turned his head, looked at Lipoot who was walking away, and said lightly:
"This is what a businessman is."
He is so eloquent that he never knows which sentence is true.
"So I don't like it very much."
When dealing with such people, he always chooses to keep a distance as much as possible and does not give the other party any chance.
Moreover, knowing that the other party might be the God of Business, Victor would not take the initiative to fall into the other party's trap.
However, since Gwen can see that there is something wrong with the other party, it means that Victor's guess is quite accurate.
His identity has become transparent in front of Victor.
At this moment, Lipoot had gradually disappeared from sight.
Gwen turned around and suddenly looked at Victor:
"Victor, I have a question too."
"What?"
Victor looked at Gwen with some confusion.
The next second, Gwen said something shocking.
"So when will our wedding start?"
"..."
Victor stood still and opened his mouth.
Looking at Gwen's eyes staring straight at him, he couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion in his heart.
At the same time, the crow on his shoulder stretched out a wing, covered its beak, and let out a sharp and playful laugh.
This is why Victor said that he hates this kind of eloquent business god the most.
Obviously, the other party accurately grasped Gwen's psychology when he first met her.
He easily led her into the trap.
And seeing Gwen staring at him and unwilling to look away, she seemed to be unwilling to let him go until he got an answer.
Gwen's eyes were locked on Victor, seemingly determined not to let him go until she got the answer.
Just when Victor was about to find a reason to reluctantly fool Gwen first.
But a familiar voice suddenly sounded next to him.
"Gwen, Victor has no plans for this yet."
"He still has a lot of things to deal with and doesn't have time for the time being. I think you know this too."
Hearing this familiar voice, Gwen couldn't help but turn her head.
Seeing Liya wearing a black dress, the black fluff on the back of her neck was trembling in the breeze.
She walked over gracefully, approached Victor step by step, then stretched out her hand and gently put it on his shoulder.
There was a bit of mischief in his eyes, and he winked at Victor:
"Am I right, brother?"
Right.
Liya is also a businessman.
This fact makes Victor dislike him.
