Chapter 146 Invitation
Unlike the crowd outside, only a few people in the banquet hall left their seats to chat with each other.
They seem to follow some set rules.
Before the banquet officially started, no one was too eager to leave the banquet and socialize with others.
After Ronald and Patricia entered the venue, they reported their identities and were immediately led to the seats prepared in advance by the service staff.
This is in the seats on the left side of the dance floor in the banquet hall, quite close to the podium.
"."
After sitting down, it was a boring waiting time.
It took almost half an hour for the two of them to enter, but the situation finally changed.
That is at the entrance of the banquet hall. The investigation bureau personnel in charge of the banquet tonight have arrived.
Ronald could tell that the Bureau of Investigation took this banquet seriously.
The people in the Investigation Bureau are vaguely divided into men and women. The leaders are Mr. Willard and Miss Mapel respectively. Later, elite investigators like Nicole can also be seen.
Now out of the city confrontation with the cult warlock, they now wear the investigators' trademark coats and wide hats. Eight people went to that station together, which naturally became a deterrent to the mysterious people in the field.
Following them, besides Ronald, the investigator from Berenwich, there was another person he knew.
Investigator from Springs.
——Spencer.
This investigator is still dressed in his own suit and leather shoes.
However, compared with when he first came to Burrenwich, the number of Springs investigators following him now has been reduced from four to three.
It is foreseeable that this period of time is not visible from Ronald's perspective.
The investigators still paid a corresponding price.
"."
Under the gaze of the surrounding people, the team of investigators walked across the lobby dance floor to the podium and quickly stood in their respective positions.
Immediately, Mr. Willard stepped forward.
With a loud voice, he pressed his hands out of thin air towards the audience:
"Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats first." "
."
After waiting for a few seconds and seeing everyone in sight sitting down, Willard looked serious. Di spoke again:
"Everyone, I believe you have already inquired about the purpose of inviting everyone here today through your own connections in advance." "
As you have heard and seen, this time the heretical warlock rebellion in Berenwich The incident is now completely over, and Her Majesty the Queen's wise decision has once again declared victory!" "
And our Investigation Bureau is also involved in this incident
." What followed was a rather formulaic announcement from Willard.
Everything was exactly what Ronald knew.
And when the notice was about to end, the other party also praised Ronald and Patricia's contribution.
But it's probably because Ronald didn't choose to join the Bureau.
After just mentioning it, Willard said nothing more.
It was during the speech.
Ronald clearly saw Nicole winking at him on the stage, and at the same time, she slightly waved the palm of her coat at him, indicating that she was in pretty good health now.
Obviously, Mr. Willard's serious speech attitude could not interfere with this free investigator girl.
Finally, after more than ten minutes of poor and long speech.
As Willard said, 'Now, please enjoy this banquet! 'The final words.
The waiter on the side of the hall went to the back to call out the band that was already ready to start playing.
Among the seats at the venue, people also stood up and applauded.
——The banquet has begun.
The next moment the crowd started to become active, an old man with white hair came to Ronald and Patricia.
Looking at the men and women in front of him, the old gentleman first set his sights on Ronald:
"Excuse me, Mr. Ronald."
"Excuse me, your female companion, Miss Patricia, if you have time to accept my invitation?" "
Ronald turned his attention to Patricia, and the girl immediately replied:
"It's Sir Kidd!"
"Of course."
Patricia obviously recognized the other person, and then stood up and talked to The old gentleman went out together.
And the two of them had been gone for less than thirty seconds.
A group of well-dressed girls smelled the smell and immediately gathered around Ronald:
"Mr. Ronald, can you dance with me?"
"I have also heard about your recent heroic deeds. Can you please Can you tell me more about it?"
"."
Such verbal flattery, and even bold temptation with actions.
Ronald was submerged in it instantly.
——And even more deadly.
These girls who gathered around were not only beautiful in appearance, but some of them even prepared natural charm techniques!
When facing Ronald, who was the best choice in terms of strength and appearance, these mysterious girls obviously didn't mind showing off their abilities to conquer the men in front of them.
Ronald, who is at most scheming with merchants or customs, has never seen such a formation!
In just a few minutes, he was already unable to resist.
While activating the powers of 'evil' and 'taotie' at the same time, he hurriedly excused himself to go to the bathroom and rushed up to the second floor of the manor alone.
Walking to a balcony here, he quickly closed the curtains and balcony door behind him.
Hiding in the shadow of the balcony on the second floor, Ronald breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huh--"
"This is much more tiring than fighting."
Standing here, Ronald sighed, his eyes drifting downstairs unconsciously.
On the outside lawn, there were also people who came to play music, and mysterious people with lower status were celebrating and dancing below.
Compared to the situation inside the manor building, he felt that the atmosphere outside was much more cheerful.
Of course, what Ronald likes most now is to enjoy the wind alone on this balcony.
At least until Patricia comes back, his mind won't change.
Ding ding ding -
After being alone on the balcony for a few minutes, Ronald suddenly heard the sound of glass being knocked behind him.
Looking back, I saw a middle-aged man with a stout figure opening the gap in the curtain.
The other party held a wine glass in his hand and was inviting him:
"Mr. Ronald, do you mind chatting?"
"."
Ronald didn't say much and simply opened the balcony door.
The man in front of him had a serious expression, and he was obviously not from the same group of girls who had targeted his body before.
"Introduce yourself, I am Everton Virginia."
"A businessman."
Ronald nodded:
"As you can see, Ronald Adler."
The middle-aged businessman then continued:
" Mr. Ronald, everyone already knows about the power you recently displayed in Burrenwich. I never expected that a spellcaster as powerful as you would still be concentrating on the research of spells without caring about the interests of the outside world. and fame."
"You're exaggerating. I'm just doing what I should do."
Ronald still nodded in response, and the politeness in his tone was quite artificial.
Seeing the man in front of him making this gesture, Everton, as a businessman, naturally knew what kind of person he should deal with and what kind of attitude he should use to negotiate.
After a short pause, he immediately changed the topic to his own purpose:
"I wonder if you have heard of the Virginia Private Collection Exhibition to be held after Burrenwich?" "
Of course."
Ronald nodded.
Since coming to Burrenwich, he has seen the name of this collection exhibition in the newspaper more than once.
Judging from the other party's last name, he must be the real owner.
Immediately, the middle-aged businessman said as expected:
"So for this upcoming collection exhibition, would I be honored to invite you to do some guard work?"
Ronald raised his eyebrows:
"Generally speaking, this is not what you should do. Is it work entrusted to the Investigation Bureau?"
The businessman smiled and said:
"The situation is special right now, so I personally feel that we need to invite additional people to help. A strong person like you is a good guarantee." "In
this case."
". "
The next second, Ronald's words were stuck in his throat.
His original intention was to shirk it casually, after all, he didn't have to be involved in everything.
But the middle-aged businessman had foresight the moment Ronald opened his mouth and immediately took out a check that was so large that it would shine even without the blessing of mysterious power!
"In this case, I think I can do it."
Ronald accepted the commission.
Ask yourself, it is definitely not because this friend gave you too much.
It was the other party's friendly attitude that impressed me.
