PS. I revised the first draft first and then revised it. After half an hour, I had no words to read.
This was the first time Su Lun saw how a young gambling-addicted woman dressed up.
The long skirt is made of dark blue brocade with gold patterns, and the graceful figure is outlined with beautiful lines. There are also large swaths of gauze decoration, like a wisp of breeze lingering, coupled with the faint smile between her eyebrows His heroic spirit made Su Lun even take a second look at him.
Elegant, luxurious, exquisite and pleasant.
The gangster lady in front of the full-length mirror changed her outfit and immediately looked like a lady.
But Senjo seemed to be very unaccustomed to wearing skirts. He looked at himself in the mirror with a look of disgust on his face, muttering something that he couldn't hear clearly.
At this time, she seemed to notice Su Lun's gaze, turned around and asked: "Boy Su Lun, do you feel anything weird?"
Su Lun looked at it and smiled, saying only two words: "It looks good."
Chijou pursed his lips after hearing this, "Don't be stunned, hurry up and change your clothes. Although the reception is at nine o'clock, we have to enter early to wait for the little princess."
Upon hearing these words, Su Lun also put away the puppets in his hands and stood up.
As soon as the eight-armed spider spear was withdrawn, he did not take off his clothes. His body shook, as if his face changed, and his work clothes suddenly turned into a white suit.
Seeing his change of clothes at this second, Qianjou also saw the reason. He raised his eyebrows and said: "Hey, the space ability is just used to change clothes?"
Su Lun smiled and said: "I just thought about a little gadget, trick dressing up."
As he spoke, he shook his feet, and the shiny leather boots were put on his feet.
Then he put his hands together and pulled, and a silver-handled cane was held in his right hand.
Thinking that something was missing, he put another hand on his left hand and magically took out a bowler hat and placed it on his head.
After doing all this, he glanced at the gambling-addicted young woman and said, "Let's go, you can go out."
Qianjiao looked at Su Lun from head to toe, with a hint of teasing in his eyes, and said teasingly: "Tsk, you're not bad at all~"
Su Lun smiled and shrugged, walked over, opened his arms, and Qian Tiao naturally took them.
At this time, she suddenly discovered something, "Wait a minute."
Su Lun stopped and watched as Qianziao put his arms around him, then straightened his collar and smoothed out the wrinkles.
"That's good~"
Qian Jiao seemed very satisfied, with a smile on her pretty face.
And just before Princess Theresa arrived at the camp, the major families in the inner city had already received news of the reception.
The Unicorn Hotel is owned by the Reyes family.
As the only daughter of the eldest son of the Reyes family, Rena naturally came underground this time.
In the suite on the top floor, the maid was putting makeup on her.
The old housekeeper on the side had a heavy face and was reporting on the recent situation: "Miss, the situation is not very good. There is news from the family that several branch families are restless again. I hope we can be careful, as it may be detrimental to you, Miss. And just in the morning, the leaders of several large hunting groups that had signed employment contracts with us before, the 'Red Dragon Hunting Group', the 'Iron Eagle Hunting Group', and the 'Paladin Hunting Group' came to our door. Come on, they refused our offer of employment."
Reina's eyebrows tightened as she listened to the bad news one after another, "But haven't we already signed an employment contract?"
"Yes."
The housekeeper said in a serious tone: "But they paid a high amount of liquidated damages and tore up the contract. I'm negotiating with the Hunting Union, but the effect is not great. I heard that the second and third houses united the five major families in the camp and paid This liquidated damages. Moreover, they have said that they will suppress any hunting group that cooperates with us. So far, no matter how high the price is, no other hunting group dares to contact us. Therefore, except for the ones brought by the lady from the family, There are not many people we can use for the hunting group of the Cross Society. It has been confirmed that all the major families in the inner city must go hunting this time, so we will be very passive and the risk of this hunting will be very high. I'm worried that those people want to isolate and encroach on the family's power, and then put pressure on the master and the others, or even have a bigger plot."
As Reina listened, the look in her eyes became more and more solemn.
After a pause, the old housekeeper continued: "Also, the Clark family sent someone to send a message before, saying that they could help solve our predicament. They probably wanted to see you, but Miss, you said you couldn't see me, so I refused. But. If possible, at this cocktail party, Miss can try to contact a few allies. Some families we have made friends with before, I want to see if they can help me."
Rena: "Yeah. Got it."
Su Lun and Qian Jiao didn't walk very fast.
Although Qianjou's ladylike skirt and gown looked really good-looking, she really didn't like it.
Su Lun put his arm around her waist, and the two behaved intimately.
It's not that she's trying to be pretentious, but this young woman with a gambling addiction really feels uncomfortable wearing a skirt.
"I can't even move my legs in this damn skirt! Boy Su Lun, please hold me closer, these high heels are so awkward to walk on."
As the two walked along, Su Lun heard Qian Tiao dislike the dress more than once.
But fortunately, the walking distance is not too far.
Along the way, they also met many young masters and ladies dressed in costumes, all of whom seemed to be attending cocktail parties.
Looking at the handsome pair of Su Lun and Senjou, it is inevitable to look at them with envy.
The two walked and chatted all the way.
Qianjo told Su Lun: "Your current identity is 'Zorro'. This identity is a bounty hunter registered with the Bounty Guild. Although you are somewhat famous, no one has seen you before. You may meet some people from my family, and they will ask you some questions, so, you understand?"
"I got it."
Su Lun listened with a bright smile on her lips.
There is no problem with the identity arranged by Senjo. In her words, "The best identity disguise is substitution."
This is better than Suellen's own fake identity.
As for the following words, although Qianjou said them in a cryptic way, Su Lun also heard them.
The Qiantiao boss has an older woman, but she still has to deal with vulgarity. When meeting people in the family, she needs a shield.
"So, Sister Senjo, you went to the Cross Society because you were running away from marriage?"
"Otherwise? Of course, this is one of the reasons. You should have guessed the others."
"Sister Qianjou, people say you don't like men. Is this true?"
"It's fake! Sister, I not only don't like men, I don't like women either, I only like knives!"
""
The two of them were already very familiar with each other, and they discussed these topics without any hesitation.
While walking, the two of them suddenly saw an acquaintance.
A young girl in an evening dress was surrounded by a group of guards and walked out of a white-painted hotel with a "Unicorn" sign.
Look at that beautiful straight black hair, who is it if it’s not Reina?
She seemed a little absent-minded and noticed the two Su Lun passing by.
Senjo greeted: "Rena~"
Reina looked at Senjou, and seemed to be stunned for a moment before she recognized it. Only then did her crystal eyes gain color, and she came forward excitedly: "Ah, Auntie Senjou~"
Qian Jiao walked over and rubbed her head, "Xiao Nizi, what are you thinking about? You are looking so sad?"
Hearing this, Lena tried to force out a smile, but her little face showed a look of worry.
She had nothing to hide from the elders in her family, and said directly: "The housekeeper just said that the hunting group that signed a contract with us has broken the contract."
"Oh, it's a small thing."
After hearing this, Qian Jiao waved his hand disapprovingly.
She then introduced Su Lun beside her: "This is my friend Zorro, a very powerful bounty hunter. He will also help with this hunting."
Reina glanced at Su Lun, who was arm-in-arm with her aunt, and couldn't hide her curiosity.
She remembered that her aunt had never been so intimate with a man?
But she didn't look much. She held her skirt, bowed and bowed, "Hello, Mr. Zorro. It's our first time meeting you. Please take good care of me."
Su Lun nodded, "Yeah."
The two people walking alone turned into a group of people and walked towards the small slope.
The venue for the reception is Storm Manor.
In order to welcome the arrival of Princess Theresa, the original hunting guild also moved its location.
The major families in the camp pooled all their resources to renovate the thousand-year-old manor and built a brand new luxurious manor.
After handing over the invitation, the guards stayed at the gate of the manor.
Su Lun, Senjo and Reina entered the manor.
Different from the dilapidated and noisy scene before, Storm Manor now has a brand new look.
The garden is lush and lush, with colorful flowers blooming brilliantly, and dead trees sprouting branches with lush leaves. The green plants have been carefully repaired by the gardener, and walking in gives people a refreshing feeling.
This is probably a garden created by wood warlocks who spent a lot of resources.
Once inside the building, it becomes even more magnificent.
But Su Lun felt a little strange in this mansion, because he always felt like he was looking at the cursed space scene when he traveled through time.
Especially the layout of this kind of manor, anyone who knows architecture will know it at a glance.
It should be a banquet hall, or a banquet hall.
The location where the reception was held this time was the location of the "Bloody Banquet".
The banquet hall was brightly lit, soothing music echoed in the hall, and young ladies and young men in gorgeous clothes were chatting and laughing with wine glasses in their hands.
When the Su Lun trio came in, they naturally attracted the attention of those people.
But what was a little embarrassing was that the three of them were immediately ignored, without even the most basic nod.
These are young masters and ladies from major families in the inner city. They all knew each other and even had close friendships with each other.
Chijou hadn't been in the upper-class social circle for a long time. She didn't want to pay attention to these people, and it was normal for those people to ignore her.
But something is wrong, especially for the eldest lady of a top chaebol like Reina.
In the past, when the Reyes family was not divided, she would be admired by all the stars wherever she went.
But now, when these people saw her, not only did no one come up to say hello, but they seemed to be avoiding something and kept their eyes averted.
Reina didn't mind either, but she was a little worried and said in a low voice: "I heard from the housekeeper that the situation in Old Town is not very good. This time my father asked me to bring almost all the high-level guards at home, too.
I don’t know if there will be any problems.”
Senjo listened with disapproval on his face, "Don't worry, those guys won't succeed so easily."
Lena: "Yeah."
Su Lun glanced at it and identified the identities of some people based on the memory in his impression.
Standing next to Reina, even Su Lun, the third party, suffered some inexplicable "malice". He raised his eyelids and showed a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth: "Little Reina has a lot of enemies.
ah"
But I thought that if I were to go hunting this time, I would be afraid that anyone I met would be an enemy.
However, Su Lun did not take these malicious intentions to heart.
With Qian Jiao's boss around, the situation in the Reyes family will not collapse. At least Reina will not die so easily.
No matter how bad it is, with Su's current strength, without a third-level professional, he really has no right to make him feel threatened.
Having more enemies is not a bad thing in some respects.
"Tsk, tsk, I'm afraid Reina will be in big trouble this time. I heard that they have even hired a decent hunting group. By then, with the few people they brought out from the inner city, I'm afraid they won't be able to support them.
It won’t be long”
"Now the major families in the inner city have joined forces to isolate them, and no one dares to help them."
"I heard that Miss Sophia, the second wife of Reyes, and Mr. Danze of the Oliver family have been in close contact recently, and they seem to be planning to get engaged. When the two powerful forces join forces, the structure of the inner city will change."
""
Su Lun listened for a while and quickly understood.
The Reyes family was once indeed a top chaebol, but after splitting into seven, their influence was not as good as before.
Moreover, some families who were once allies have also become enemies.
The seven separated families are naturally at odds with the main family, and can even be said to be enemies.
Moreover, they were all offended to death, and those families who had been in trouble were naturally thinking of killing them with one blow to avoid future troubles, or to get a piece of the pie.
After all, Reina brought many direct lineage masters this time, and she is still the only heir. If the group is really destroyed in the ruins, it will definitely directly affect the situation in the inner city.
With internal and external troubles, the situation is indeed worrying.
The three of them ignored the whispers from others and found a corner to chat.
No one is bothering me, and I don't have to deal with the so-called high society.
With the support of the elder Qian Jiao, Reina's worries became better.
However, as we chatted, Qianjiao's "trouble" also came.
Several noble ladies came over with their unhappy sons.
The middle-aged woman wearing a big emerald necklace around her neck greeted Qianjiu: "Oh, Otilia, long time no see, why are you here~"
This time it was not only the young masters and ladies who came, but mothers from many families who were worried that their precious sons and daughters would be wronged also came.
Qianjiao looked at the visitor and frowned obviously, but he had to say hello: "Aunt Camilla, long time no see."
Su Lun listened to the exchange between the two, glanced at Qian Tiao from the corner of his eye, and felt a little curious in his heart.
It turns out that this gambling-addicted young woman’s real name is “Ottilia Evelyn”.
And that other blond woman with jewels and charm is actually Senjo's stepmother?
That little boy with an unruly face is actually her half-brother in name?
Then there are various Evelyn family relatives, aunts and uncles and their children.
What follows are various greetings.
There are all kinds of red tape in the upper class society: greetings, returning gifts, introducing juniors, saying hello, returning gifts, and greeting elders in various ways, recalling the friendship between the elders
Then, there is the urge to get married.
"Ottilia, you're old enough, don't hang out with the common people in the outer city all the time. I heard that you are still related to the gang? Oh, my God, if word spreads, others will say that our Evelin family is in decline.
"
"You don't know, I talked about you yesterday when I was chatting with Mrs. Albertini. They both said that there is an old girl in our Eveline family who can't get married."
"Ottilia, you are not young anymore. Dr. Enzo of the Smith family is a good young man. Their family owns eight hospitals in District 5."
""
It’s not just Qian Tiao, Su Lun feels dizzy when he hears it.
When he came to this world, all he encountered was fighting and killing.
It turns out there are still ordinary people out there
Listening to the large-scale marriage urging scene that was no different from the previous life, Su Lun finally understood why Qianjou had brought him.
Qian Jiao directly interrupted the increasingly unreliable introduction and pulled Su Lun to stand up, "Oh, I almost forgot to introduce. This is Mr. Zorro. My friend."
