Chapter 404: A Talk Within a Chapter
"The flowers are very eye-catching, giving people a feeling of winter coldness..."
“The painter has been searching for this flower all his life, but as he gets older, he may come to understand that this is just a beautiful vision.”
"It looks like we've come a long way and are almost at the ball."
"Sorry, I may have to excuse myself first. My purpose is to help with the reception. Please feel free to do as you please from now on."
"See you later then."
There were a lot of desserts at the party. Mond's desserts... well, very sweet, but you can eat a little. After all, sweets are very high in calories. Although they are far less than the energy brought by potions, they are already very good compared to other foods.
He picked out a piece of delicious-looking cream cake from the plate, cut off a small piece with a delicate fork, and put it into his mouth.
So sweet! Fortunately, I only took a small piece and ate it quickly. Seeing that there was no one else around, I picked a piece of cake that looked like an apple and had a small piece of apple on it as decoration.
This time it was not that sweet when I took a bite, but had a slightly sour taste, which should be the taste of the apple itself. This piece tasted good, but I wanted to eat a few more pieces to try other flavors.
But now is not the time to eat.
The first time the three major families gathered again, there was naturally a war of words and guns.
I walked over and stood behind the other person, who was trying hard to deal with the other two family heads who were almost twice as old as me.
"The current head of the Lawrence family is so young, how can he handle so many things? In my opinion, it is better to hand over some of the affairs to us, which can also reduce your burden, right?"
"Although the Lawrence family has temporarily encountered some setbacks, this is far from a reason for you to take advantage of the situation!"
"It's just a joke. That's what young people are like..."
"Alas, although the current patriarch is young, he is very smart. The previous patriarch was very willing to pass on the position of patriarch. After all, he knew that time would take away many things. If the other party did not give up power, then the current Lawrence would only decline further..." He moved closer and stood next to his students, "I wonder if you still remember me?"
"Sunset Witch... Of course I remember. A long time ago, there was a dance party just like this one, and we even discussed business together..."
"I am the teacher of the current patriarch. The patriarch and I will handle the family affairs together, so you don't need to worry too much about it for now..." He smiled and spread out the fan, then looked at them with a sharp look, "Lawrence is not a piece of fat meat now, but a dormant snake. Anyone who wants to eat a piece of meat will be bitten."
"Really? It's just a snake with its head chopped off."
"Then be careful that after being bitten, you may be poisoned by the snake and it will be difficult to protect yourself..."
He confronted the other party, and then closed the fan: "Well, no matter what the family is, everyone should enjoy this dance, right?"
I smiled and spoke, and they also maintained superficial harmony and followed my words: "Indeed, this dance should be happy, let the younger generation have more fun..."
"Everyone should relax. If you have been working so hard... your family is still at its current level, then it can only be said that you are not good enough in learning~"
His students understood what he meant. At first, they wanted to divide Lawrence. The current head of Lawrence was too young, which meant that he definitely could not do it like those experienced people.
But my appearance is like having a poisonous snake circling around this piece of fat meat. Anyone who wants to take the meat or hurt the snake will be bitten severely.
They believed that if they died, only the snake's head would be left and it would not live long.
However, if a snake with only its head left bites them, they will be poisoned, which means that if they die, they cannot afford the revenge of their family.
The existence of three families is the best way. The reduction of any one family will make the environment of the remaining families more tense and precarious.
And he deliberately provoked the relationship between the two families. After all, whichever family took the initiative would be suppressed, so the other family could take advantage of the situation.
Seeing that his words did not gain any advantage, he said that this dance was for young people and that the other party was too young.
But he directly retorted, saying that the other party must not have taken the family seriously, otherwise the current situation could not be considered the result of such hard work.
The teacher was very good at these things. After giving me a reassuring look, I went to drink some juice at the banquet. The teacher said that I should not drink the wine at the banquet casually. Some of the wines were too concentrated, but the taste was sweet. After drinking them, I would get drunk unknowingly and easily say something bad about the family.
I stood aside, watching people coming and going, and eating the small dessert I had just made. It is not good to eat dessert in the morning, but the teacher said I can eat whatever I want today.
Delicious! The orange flavor is delicious!
The teacher was chatting with others not far away, smiling from time to time and drinking glass after glass of wine.
But there was no feeling of drunkenness.
What a great teacher!
25nd……
Are you all crazy?! Very strong wine taste, I don't like wine, the wine taste here is too strong, it makes people uncomfortable...
"I'm a little drunk, everyone..." Playing with her hair, she chuckled and said, "I'm a little tired, I want to sit for a while. Sorry, I have to leave first~"
"Oh, how much did you drink? You should at least drink this cup, right?"
I frowned. I had already made my refusal clear and didn't lose face for anyone. The other party was not giving me face!
"As far as I know..." He smiled and walked closer, "Do you really need the family's help? Offending us will be of no use to you..."
When the other party heard this, he clenched the cup tightly and wanted to pour the wine on himself...
I dodged sideways and hooked the opponent with my foot, causing him to fall flat on his face...
"Oh, come on, I said I don't want to drink anymore... It's not nice to persuade others to drink~"
My movements were very small, and I was very grateful for the skirt that was not that wide. I looked down at the other person, and after seeing the eyes under the mask, all the words the other person said were swallowed back into my mouth.
