"Bastard! Leon and I have been friends for many years. Do I still need an invitation letter? " Diego's slender phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and a fine light flashed through his eyes. "You guys don't know what's good for you. Be careful that you won't have a good fruit to eat.
/>
The two guards endured the invisible pressure from the young master of a wealthy family. Their foreheads were sweating, but they still persisted. Just as Diego was about to do it again, a long laugh sounded from behind the door, "Diego, don't make things difficult for them. They're just following orders."
Leon walked out with wind footsteps. He patted the two guards on the shoulders and took them to the other side. Then he said to Diego, "Blame me. I missed you."
"I think you did it on purpose, didn't you?" Diego said with a gloomy expression.
Leon said with an exaggerated expression, "How could that be? Who doesn't know that we're good friends?"
"Good friends?" Diego chuckled dryly.
Leon turned around and spread his hand inside the door, "Please."
Only then did Diego walk into the venue with the two women in his arms. Which guest in the venue didn't know the young master of the Grant Clan? Especially after the previous magic equipment, although Diego wasn't as talented as Allen, he still showed his face. Moreover, his dual identity as a descendant of a wealthy family and a disciple of Master Lawrence was enough to make these young people at the cocktail party befriend him in every possible way.
For a moment, Diego was surrounded by men and women, like flowers. At the center of the circle, Diego's face was brimming with a smile, enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention.
Leon quietly walked back to the booth and smiled bitterly, "The Grant Clan has some business dealings with us recently, so it's really not easy to kick this kid out."
Allen was slightly moved when he heard this. The Grant Clan had previously teamed up with Alexander and regarded Bescot as their number one enemy. Now that they were trying to cooperate with the Williams, the Grant Clan naturally knew about the relationship between the Williams and Bescot. This approach itself had a profound meaning. It should have been born after Maine moved closer to Mobius. Whether it was the Alexandrian Clan's recent compensation moves or Maine's breaking of the unwritten rule between the nobles, the Grant Clan began to reconsider their attitude towards Alexander.
The relationship between the big families had always changed frequently, just as the merchants often said. There were no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. It was the same for clans. Unless it was a blood feud that could not be resolved, there would rarely be long-term hostility between clans.
Of course, the direction of family relations always depended on the overall situation. As for the conflicts between the younger generation, as long as it wasn't a big deal, the big shots in the family wouldn't get involved. So tonight, Diego clearly used the change in family relations to step on Leon's field. Because he knew that Leon had to turn a blind eye to some of his methods out of consideration for the family.
These thoughts flashed through Allen's mind, and he suddenly felt a little annoyed. He felt that the communication between the families was far more complicated than on the battlefield in the Outer Realm. In comparison, he preferred the outer realm battlefield. It was more direct and purer.
Footsteps could be heard.
Diego moved to the card seat and Leon frowned. Just as he was about to get up, he was held down by Allen. Diego walked to the card seat and exaggerated, "It's really amazing. So Young Master Allen has returned. I thought you would never come back. If that was the case, a lot of people would be sad. "
"Then Young Master Diego must be the happiest one. But now, I don't think Young Master Diego will be happy, will he? "Allen didn't have Leon's scruples, so he naturally didn't need to care about Diego's feelings.
As expected, Diego's expression changed slightly, but he smiled again. However, he didn't entangle himself with Allen. To the surprise of the few people in his seat, he looked at Adele and said, "So Miss Morsen is here, Miss Adele." I really don't know where your Morsen Clan got the confidence to reject our Grant Clan's marriage alliance. Do you think you can really ride on Bescot's chariot if you hook up with Allen? If that's the case, why don't you two families make any moves now? "
Since the start of the cocktail party, Adele had been drinking alone, uncharacteristically. Now that he heard Diego say that, he raised his head and said, "Even if all the men in the world die, I won't marry you, Diego!"
Diego's expression immediately turned ugly. He snorted coldly, "Don't think Old Kate can protect you. He can protect you for a while, but can he protect you for the rest of his life? If anything had happened to old Kate, your family would have been glad to send you to my bed to gain the goodwill of our Grant. At that time, I will have a good taste of your little demon! "
As soon as he finished speaking, a piercingly cold killing intent suddenly enveloped Diego's body. Diego shivered on the spot, as if he had brushed past a sharp blade, and immediately retreated. Then, his gaze landed on Allen, knowing that he was the one who had triggered the killing intent just now.
Allen slowly looked at Diego, his expression calm, but his voice was like a howling cold wind, "Even without Mr. Kate, there's still me. As long as Adele doesn't want to, no one can force her, including you, Diego. "
Jin Liancheng got an Oriental folding fan from somewhere and suddenly unfolded it. The fan was painted with a colorful picture of fallen flowers. As the fan unfolded, the falling flowers in the sky seemed to come alive, and a faint fragrance immediately rose from the seat. He waved his fan and smiled, "I'm not talented, but I'm also willing to be this flower protector."
"This is what you call a noisy guest." Leon shook his head and looked at Diego. "Adele is my best friend, Diego. You'd better take your claws away. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll cut it off if I'm not careful. "
The William family's young master said with a smile. Outsiders didn't know that he was joking. However, his eyes were sharp, and he didn't seem to be joking at all. Diego's face turned white and green. He retreated a little and sneered, "Alright, let's wait and see."
Then he said to Allen, "By the way, the Federation has named the planet you found Planet Heaven." And because Planet Heaven is rich in resources, its level is far beyond your Bescot's. Therefore, this time, the Federation has opened the planet to several other clans. "Our Grant has been authorized. I'm organizing an expeditionary force. I believe we'll meet on Planet Heaven soon."
Adele's expression tightened as she looked at Allen. The latter's expression was calm. Allen had expected such a situation when he returned. It was impossible for the Federation to let Bescot monopolize a planet larger and more resource-rich than Earth. Allen had even thought that the Federation would monopolize it. Now that it was open to the other clans to participate in the colonization, it was much better than he had expected.
He smiled and said, "Welcome, but I have to remind Young Master Diego. The natives of that planet are not very friendly. Young Master Diego must be careful not to lose everything. "
"You should be worried. Pray that I won't bump into you on Planet Heaven." After leaving these words, Diego hugged the beauty and left.
Looking at his back, Allen shook his head and said, "I really hope I can meet him. That way, I can get an extra military fund from the Grant Clan, right?"
Leon laughed and raised his glass. "Come on, let's not talk about those unpleasant things. Drink!"
By the end of the party, Adele was already drunk. She drank a lot, and she was obviously unhappy. For this reason, Allen and the others were quite helpless. When he left, Allen was in charge of sending Adele back. On the way to the Morsons' house, Adele leaned on Allen's shoulder, half drunk and half awake. Adele's face was flushed due to the effects of alcohol, and she looked beautiful and charming. From time to time, her eyebrows furrowed deeply, making her look even more pitiful.
The car stopped beside a boulevard leading to the Morsons' house, and Adele pushed open the door and staggered out of the car. The night wind blew past, and she couldn't help but vomit on the side of the road. Allen hurriedly patted her on the back, but watched Adele vomit until she finally cried. He sighed and said, "Don't be sad, Adele. Just like I said, even if the family doesn't protect you, you still have me. And Lian Cheng and Leon. We'll protect you. "
Adele shook her head, took out a tissue from her bag and wiped her eyes. She stood up and said, "You don't understand."
She staggered forward, and Allen followed her to support her. Adele looked at him and leaned against him, saying, "One night, Grandpa asked me if I really loved you."
Allen's body trembled slightly, but he didn't say anything.
Adele smiled self-deprecatingly, "I thought about it for a long time that night, and from beginning to end, I was just pestering you." But I never thought about whether I loved you or not. Perhaps you don't know, but before we started our expedition, Lian Cheng also came to me. Although what he said was different, the meaning was similar to Grandpa's. It's just that I didn't think too much about it at the time, and I didn't want to pay attention to it. I just want to use you to leave the family and get rid of my obligations as a woman in the family. I can even use you to gain more power … "
'"I desperately want to catch something. I've been like this since I was sensible. Step on someone else's shoulder and see the scenery further away. So you see, I'm not worthy of the promises you just made. " Adele grabbed Allen's hand tightly and buried her head very low. "I've always been afraid that you would find this out. If you knew, you would hate me. I don't know if I love you, but I feel sad when I think that I can't be with you. "
"Allen, what should I do …"
On this slightly chilly night, the girl who was called a seductress shed all her disguise and showed her weakness without reservation. At this moment, Allen could feel her helplessness and hesitation. He took a deep breath and said, "Adele, I'm glad you said those words so that I could hear your heart. What I want to tell you is that as long as you want, we can still explore and take risks together. I promise I won't let anyone or anything interfere with your wishes. "
"As long as you're willing!"
