Night fell. Today's night sky was exceptionally clear, and one could see the spoon-like Big Dipper flickering with bright starlight in the sky. The stars hung upside down in the sky, like endless gems rolling down the black velvet cloth, shining with enough light to reflect the hearts of the people.
A flying car with the Bescot family emblem was driving down Goldwing Street, heading for Twilight Bar.
Allen sat in the car.
Tonight, Jin Liancheng was hosting a small gathering of their old friends who had not seen each other for many years. Allen looked at the window of the flying car. The glass on the window reflected the colorful lights of the city. Babylon was as prosperous as ever. Even though the situation on the surface was in turmoil, the floating island was still filled with songs and dances of peace. Perhaps in the hearts of the nobles of this floating island, they had never thought that the people on the surface could cause any trouble.
Even though the surface of the earth was engulfed in flames of war, the flames were still a little far away from the high and mighty Babylon.
"What are you thinking about?" Asked Lucy, who was beside her. The girl was dressed in a simple little dress and a small cloak of lace and fabric over her shoulders. Although this was the most popular style of dress, because it was a ready-made dress, there was clearly some slight incongruity with Lucy's own figure.
Lucy didn't care about this problem. Even with the eyesight of the royal family's noble daughter, she could pick out at least ten flaws in this dress.
Allen said casually, "I'm thinking about what kind of person my father is."
"I don't know what kind of person your father is, but I know what kind of person my old man is." Lucy said with her fingers, "Domineering, domineering, everything you have to listen to him. You talk about the responsibilities of the royal family all day long, but you never think that those things are what I want? "
Allen patted her hand and said, "But he loves you. Look, he controls you. Doesn't that mean he cares about you? In contrast, I've never heard my father say a single word. "
Lucy was speechless for a moment.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at Twilight Bar, and the flying car stopped in front of the bar's entrance. Allen got out of the car and opened the door for Lucy. "Come, let me introduce you to two friends."
Jin Liancheng booked a quiet seat in the bar, and he and Adele arrived early. When Allen and Adele arrived, the young master of the Eastern nobles was teasing a pair of beauties in a low voice, while Adele was playing tarot cards by herself. Seeing Allen, Jin Liancheng smiled and beat the two beauties away. The two girls left him a note with their contact information, but Jin Liancheng threw it aside without looking at it.
Allen shook his head and said, "I'm willing to bet that there are at least eighty girls crying for Lian Cheng, if not a hundred."
Jin Liancheng laughed and said, "Just based on your words, we can see that our Young Master Allen is still a rookie in love."
"In other words, you're an old bird?" Adele rolled her eyes.
"I'm not talented. I know dozens of beauties, so I have some experience." Jin Liancheng smiled at Allen and said, "For the sake of our brotherhood, I'll teach you some experience so that you won't be deceived. Don't believe these girls who linger in the twilight, no matter how pure and holy they appear. It's not normal for them not to have a dozen or so boyfriends on their dating list. "
Allen shook his head and laughed. He introduced Lucy, "This is Jin Liancheng, my good friend. His family sells perfume. If you like it, ask him to send ten bottles of perfume over. It's no problem to spray it every day. "
Jin Liancheng smiled and said, "Allen is exaggerating."
When Allen turned to Adele, the latter stood up and said, "I'm Adele. I'll compete with you for Allen!"
Lucy replied forcefully, "Bring it on."
When these two girls with high personalities came together, it really gave Allen a headache. Jin Liancheng cast a gloating gaze at him. Fortunately, the waiter brought the wine. Jin Liancheng filled their glasses and raised his glass. "This toast is to Allen to celebrate his return from the chaotic battlefield without missing an arm or leg. When Leon comes back, the four of us will be reunited again. "
After drinking a cup, Allen said, "I'm afraid we'll have to separate again after a short gathering. This time, I plan to form a hunting group and do something for the clan."
"At least wait for Leon to return before you can leave." Jin Liancheng said.
Allen nodded and asked, "What's going on with Leon?"
"I don't know much either." Jin Liancheng sighed softly, "But his situation shouldn't be that good. Judging from some of the Williams' information channels, Leon should have broken up with his two brothers in the Outer Realm and even started a war. I wonder if that brat will be able to return safely. "
'"The Williams have chosen a resource-rich colonial planet for the three brothers, and the planet's indigenous combat strength is not high. This is also the benefit of a wealthy family. They can always get a planet with more ideal resources. However, to completely colonize the entire planet, it would take at least thirty to fifty years, and the clan would need to continuously invest resources. Therefore, the three Leon brothers said that they were going on an expedition, but in fact, they were just going to train and accumulate clan points. Originally, there wouldn't have been any big crisis, but I heard that before Paul's expedition, Diego got a good Mo Wu from his teacher and gave it to him. This is clearly to deal with Leon … "
"A mere Mo Wu shouldn't be able to take down Leon." Allen said.
"I think so too." Jin Liancheng smiled bitterly and said, "But Paul is unexpectedly despicable. He did something to Leon's strategic intelligence and put Leon in danger." At that time, Leon used an encrypted signal to send me a text message on the battlefield to tell me the truth. And remind us that if he doesn't come back, Paul might attack us because of his relationship with him when he returns to Earth. Leon told us to be careful, and I didn't hear anything from him after that. "
Allen narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he didn't say anything, the wine glass in front of him suddenly cracked open.
Jin Liancheng saw it and pretended not to see anything. He waved his hand and called for the waiter to change the cup.
Adele coughed softly and changed the topic, "Even Leon has to go to the battlefield. Young Master Jin seems to be very free. He only attends banquets and salons. What a long sleeve dancing. "
"That's also a battlefield, but the nature is different." Jin Liancheng straightened up slightly and said, "But soon, I'll have to leave Babylon for a while."
"What, are you finally going to war?" Adele raised her eyebrows.
"It sounds like you can't wait for me to go to the battlefield." Jin Liancheng chuckled and said, "Unfortunately, I can't do as your young miss wishes. I'm not going to the Outer Realm, but to the surface."
"Surface?"
Jin Liancheng smiled bitterly. "It's not because of the Gate of Freedom and the movement that some of our family's factories on the surface have been affected. The family has decided to move those factories in the district and I need to go over and take care of them. "
Adele said sympathetically, "It's all thanks to this movement that our annual earnings have fallen quite a bit. The Federation is the same. Wouldn't it be resolved if we sent troops to suppress it from the beginning? "
Her thoughts represented the thoughts of most Babylonians.
Jin Liancheng leaned back in his chair and smiled, "It's not that simple, Miss Adele." Think about it, the establishment of the Gate of Freedom and the announcements of those districts were almost all born in ten days. It was impossible to make such a large-scale movement in such a short period of time without preparation. "Then the question is, with the Federation's intelligence network, do you think the Federation won't get the news before the movement begins?"
"In other words, do you think there are some political factors in this?" Allen answered for Adele.
"Isn't there? If the news hadn't been intercepted by some big shot, how could the Federation have waited for the movement to explode before reacting? " Jin Liancheng shook his head and said, "But these things are too far away from us, unless one of you intends to participate in politics?"
Allen smiled and said, "I'm not interested. I just want to do something for Grandpa. As for the future, I think it's pretty good to have my own business and work and live with the people around me. "
Adele shook her head and said, "You don't need me to tell you that's impossible. I don't think Mr. Horn will allow you to live such a poet's life. "
She emphasized the word "poet".
Allen smiled and said, "Even if it's impossible, I can still think about it."
Suddenly, he felt something and looked out of the private room. A figure appeared under the light, and Allen's gaze fell on a handsome face. That person did not expect Allen to appear like a prophet. He was stunned for a moment before smiling and stepping forward. He didn't know that Allen had formed a habit of paying attention to the changes in his surroundings after being guided by Windsor Bellow.
He spread out his Origin Energy like a spider web, forming a perceptual network. This person just happened to enter the edge of this perceptual network, and the Origin Energy on his body caused Allen to sense it. With Allen's current Origin Energy strength, the perceptual network only covered a diameter of less than ten meters. If it was an expert of Windsor Bellow's level, her perception could even cover more than half of Babylon, and she could adjust the acuity of her perception as needed.
For Windsor Bellow, there was basically no chance of being ambushed.
This was a youth of the same age as Allen and the others. His light brown hair was combed back, making him look a little mature. His blue eyes were suffused with a faint smile, making him, who was already handsome and sunny, look even more approachable, like a spring breeze. He didn't know if he was intentional or not, as if he didn't see Allen and Jin Liancheng, he looked at Adele in the card seat and said, "Isn't this Miss Adele of the Morsons?"
Then, when he saw Lucy, his eyes lit up again and he exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Forgive me for my clumsiness. Which family is this beautiful young lady from?"
Allen glanced at Jin Liancheng and thought to himself, Where did this passionate young master come from?
