Chapter 147

The people who are coming to the banquet today are basically due. Suddenly, the lights in the venue went out.

Darkness enveloped the castle again, but it was only a moment.

Because a pair of eyes like fireflies are lit in the dark, and the light of golden pupils is refracted on the wine glass, which can make people see the faces of people around them.

Lu Chen glanced at the people around him. He didn't think of admiration. Instead, he looked at milanella, whose golden pupil had been lit, which meant... That's it?

It's not that Lu Chen despises these people. According to his observation, if hundreds of people in the venue can reach the level of a according to the rating standard of Kassel college, there are seven or eight. The others are basically class B hybrids, and even class C hybrids. The light of golden pupil is ten points weak.

"President, you seem to have some misunderstanding about the mixed race world."

Milanla understood Lu Chen's meaning and whispered around him: "the blood rating of class B hybrid is already a good elite. Class A is at the top of the hybrid society, which is a rare existence. Among our freshmen, there are only 14 class a students in total."

Lu Chen nodded. "I see. Not all mixed race families want to send their children to Kassel college to study dragon slaughtering."

"Yes, most of the families present rely on the accumulation of their ancestors. In the new era, relying on the mental and physical advantages of hybrid species, they have obtained the expansion of funds in the tuyere and become the 'power' in the new world."

Lu Chen suddenly realized that this is a very normal thing. It's like the ancient generals fighting on the battlefield in exchange for a lifetime of meritorious service, but many generals work so hard for the purpose of not letting future generations work so hard again.

The generals born in mud legs fought all their lives, and his descendants inherited the title of general and just "marched on the streets of the capital". Many of the younger generation, whether they are dandies or promising, often choose to secretly engage in business and make money through their identity to live a comfortable life as a rich man.

No father wants his son to die on the battlefield.

In this way, some of the mixed race families who send their children to Kassel college are not very rich.

Of course, parents can't completely command young people to "fill in the volunteer". Just like brother Caesar, it is clear that Gattuso's family is already the world's top power family, but he still chooses to come to Kassel college.

In the words of brother Caesar, he just likes to challenge and prove himself.

In Lu Chen's opinion, brother Caesar is just making trouble with the family. Originally, Lu Chen thought brother Caesar was indeed a middle-school sophomore.

However, he heard that the Gattuso family was still the number one pioneer in the school board's "shooting" at himself and the headmaster. He had some understanding of brother Caesar. Although some were preconceived, the Gattuso family had left a bad impression on him.

He also asked brother Caesar about Gattuso's family. Brother Caesar only replied, "it has nothing to do with me. Brother Lu is free."

Even Lu Chen was surprised by Caesar's brother's indifference and loyalty. After all, he heard that Caesar's father seemed to be alive, although the current acting school director is Caesar's uncle.

"Therefore, the person who controls power may not be the one in power."

Lu Chen commented faintly that he somehow understood what today's mixed race society was like.

"Most of them are. Although the lineage of some families is still pure and the purity of dragon blood has not been reduced, they have not stepped on the battlefield and do not understand what is the real power."

Speaking, milanella said again, "however, the families at the top of the mixed race have always coexisted with power. They hold the wealth of the world and have a sharp sword for judging sin."

At this time, the lights turned on again. Just now, it was just a traditional ceremony in the ancient and mixed race society to prove that it was a mixed race dinner.

Lu Chen's face was slightly ironic. "The sword of sin? Whose sin? Do they regard themselves as God?"

Milanella felt that it was not good to gossip about the school directors behind their backs, but she also agreed with Lu Chen's point of view, "some school directors really think of themselves as God."

"What about your family? It sounds like the hotel industry is not like a fighting family. Why did you come to Kassel college?"

Lu Chen looks at milanla again. Now he knows more about Kassel college. It is indeed a college opened for Tu Long. Whether you enter the execution department after graduation or not, being "assigned to employment" is definitely related to the Dragon nationality, just as there are regular troops and logistics troops on the battlefield.

"Me?"

Milanella smiled. "I just read too many stories when I was a child. I wanted to be a dragon slaying hero. It was more exciting to step into the battlefield with a knife than to study art and painting at the Royal College."

Lu Chen picked up the wine glass, milanella raised the glass, lowered it slightly, and clinked the glass with him. They drank the wine in the glass gracefully without scruples of the aristocracy.

If the teacher in the etiquette class sees this scene, it is estimated that they will fail both at the end of the term. In fact, they have thrown away everything they have learned.

"The headmaster didn't lie to me. Those who can enter the lion heart club are really heroes."

Lu Chen smiled, but felt that the words were slightly inappropriate. He changed his mind and said, "milanella should be regarded as a heroine."

Milan didn't care about Lu Chen's words, "the president is the leader of heroes."

In the center of the venue, Sebastian Laurent finished his speech after greeting the crowd.

Lu Chen didn't listen carefully. Generally speaking, it is probably "everyone eats and drinks well."

However, after the official speech, Sebastian did not withdraw from the central area. It seems that he still has something to say.

With an elegant smile, he said, "but we have a special guest tonight. I believe all the guests present have noticed, but please let me introduce you again..."

The golden pupils of the old housekeeper are bright. He has a wide and polite smile, but the people who look at him will feel inexplicable pressure. With the movement of his eyes, the guests consciously disperse, just like being stabbed out of a channel, and a young girl stands at the end of the channel.

Everyone's eyes gathered in the past. With the leader of the dinner host, they can have reason to observe the teenager.

"... Mr. Lu Chen, a freshman of Kassel college, the current president of Lion Heart Association, the unique S-class among the students, and a new legend who has just killed the next generation of species."

The old housekeeper's voice was cadenced. Every time he said a title, he increased his tone. It seemed that there was an invisible Libra in the venue, and the chips were added up again and again until the name of the young man finally completed the introduction and praise of the young man, as well as the weighing of his value.

It has been some time since the young girls entered the venue, and many people recognized milanella's identity and knew that she was also an excellent daughter of a large family, but at this moment, no one focused on her.

Those people's eyes are hot, some awe, some greed.

Many families who have funded Kassel college are eager to take a share in the dragon body of the next generation, but everyone knows that the youth who can kill him is a greater treasure than the dead second generation.

Thunderous applause broke out, but the boy's face was expressionless.

"Mr. Lu Chen, thank you for attending today's dinner and accepting the friendship of the Laurent family."

The old housekeeper walked through the crowd and held out his hand to Lu Chen with a gentle and elegant smile.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it was a very friendly smile, but in the eyes of Lu Chen, the old man wore such a smile to everyone since he came out, as if it had been engraved into his bones. It was just a mask. No matter how friendly the mask was, it was also a dead thing. You don't know what was hidden under the mask.

Milanla looked at Lu Chen and suddenly felt a little nervous. She didn't know why, but it seemed that the other party was not happy at this time.

When Lu Chen raised her hand and shook the old housekeeper, she was relieved.

"The friendship of the Laurent family? It seems that you can represent the Laurent family."

Lu Chen's private words didn't seem to make many people feel friendly at the meeting for the first time.

The old housekeeper was not angry and still smiled politely. "Of course, today's dinner was hosted by the Laurent family, and I was sent as a representative."

Lu Chen loosened the old housekeeper's hand, nodded and stopped talking.

"Mr. Lu Chen, as the new legendary dragon butcher of the secret party, don't you have anything to say to you?"

However, the old housekeeper continued to ask.

Lu Chen put the empty wine cup aside in the silver plate brought by the waiter. "First of all, I think you should call me Commissioner Lu. At present, I only come to the task on behalf of the college. Secondly, I am not a legendary dragon butcher. Legends are often history."

"But the current leader of the secret party, Hilbert Jean ange, the president of your school, has not yet become history."

The old housekeeper took a glass of red wine from the waiter's silver plate and handed another glass to Lu Chen.

"The headmaster has lived for a long time. Of course, he can be regarded as history, living history, and I'm just a young man."

Lu Chen took the glass, but he didn't mean to clink it with the other party.

"Young people always live longer than old people. Commissioner Lu will eventually become a legend."

The old housekeeper complimented.

Lu Chen didn't answer immediately. A pair of red gold eyes lit up, and the invisible aura filled the whole space. His eyes scanned the venue, and all the people who looked at him unconsciously avoided those eyes.

Finally, he looked at the old housekeeper again, and the other party still looked straight at him. "I thought today was an oath meeting of the Laurent family to save the family home, but at present, it seems that you are only exchanging feelings, and everyone is just talking about business and trading power and power."

Yes, since the appearance of the old housekeeper, he has treated many guests to dinner with hospitality and close words, but he has never mentioned the disappearance of Elizabeth, nor has he mobilized families to provide information for her in their own field of expertise.

It seems that this is just an ordinary exchange dinner between nobles. Everyone sings and dances, talks happily, and seeks more benefits for the family between clinking glasses.

The Laurent family didn't mention the disappearance of the owner, and no one would take the initiative to mention the misfortune.

When the old housekeeper looked at himself, Lu Chen realized that the Laurent family was not in a hurry to find their owner. The protagonist of the party was him, not Elizabeth, who had disappeared.

"Of course, Lisa's disappearance is a heavy blow to the family, but what's the use of our anxiety? The world always has to continue to operate, and the college has sent elites like Commissioner Lu. What else do we have to worry about?"

The old man put on a sad expression when he mentioned Elizabeth's disappearance. Finally, there was a reassuring look on his face.

Lu Chen suddenly felt very funny. He finally understood.

Yes, the headmaster will worry about Elizabeth's safety because Elizabeth is the only firm supporter of him among the school directors, and Elizabeth is also the child of his old friend.

But for a large family like Laurent, Elizabeth's disappearance is not something that will worry everyone, or many people may be very happy at this time.

After all, a young girl as a housekeeper may not be as stable as he thought before.

Their Laurent family is not extinct, and the owner can be changed again. For them, wealth and power are eternal. What is missing is just a girl of the Laurent family. They really don't have to worry, which can't shake the foundation of the family.

"You say that the world will always continue to work. It seems that you think you are the world."

Lu Chen smiled. The recent etiquette class was not in vain after all. He didn't show a sarcastic smile, but his words were undoubtedly thorny.

Milan Robben wanted to remind Lu Chen, but then pressed down the idea. It doesn't matter.

Anyway, she has always known that the president is not a person who likes to kneel and lick power, and the mixed race family present today, in her opinion, always needs people like the president to take the lead in the final battlefield, rather than those politicians who can only calculate.

"I dare not have such arrogant ideas. Commissioner Lu may have misunderstood what I mean."

The old housekeeper said humbly.

Lu Chen waved his hand. He didn't want to waste any more time. "I said before that I didn't come to the banquet today. It's just a part of the task investigation. I just want to ask you, where are the two people under the Laurent family now?"

He didn't come here to listen to songs, dance and accept compliments from everyone. The people of the Laurent family are here. It's better for him to ask in person.

The Commissioner of the executive department couldn't find it, but he didn't believe that the Laurent family had no news of their people.

"Commissioner Lu is asking about the whereabouts of the two children?"

The old housekeeper asked knowingly, but when he saw the red gold eyes, he immediately continued: "strictly speaking, they do not belong to the Laurent family, but work for us. We are not ancient slave owners. They have complete personal freedom. At this time, they disappear, and the Laurent family certainly can't find their whereabouts."

Lu Chen stared at the old housekeeper's eyes until there was sweat on each other's forehead. The old housekeeper put his hand on his chest and bowed slightly: "seeing Commissioner Lu taking the task so seriously, the Laurent family was relieved."
