Allen raised his glass in salute. Jomo chuckled dryly, picked up his glass and lightly clinked it with him, then turned around and left.
As soon as Black Civet left, Kao, who had already taken off his fur cloak, walked over. The Grand Duke's younger brother was elegant and was followed by two or three noble ladies. Kao smiled at the women and said, "Please forgive me, madams. I want to talk to Sir Allen alone. I'll apologize to you later."
A few noble ladies looked at him resentfully, and when their gazes drifted to Allen, their eyes lit up again. The meaning in their gazes was self-evident. One of them even licked his lips boldly and deliberately lowered his collar. The bottomless ravine below made one involuntarily admire the magnificence of his twin peaks. Only then did the women let go of Kao and walk away in the blink of an eye.
Kao shook his head and said, "I thought that the people of the Northern Territory were strong, that men were aggressive, and women were open. I didn't expect the Southern Territory to have such a scenery. No wonder all the men who have been to the South say that this is the land of gentleness. Like those women just now, I'm sure they have a lot of lovers. There's an advantage to this kind of woman. After eating, you don't have to be too responsible. "
Allen laughed and said, "So Lord Kao is also an expert in love."
"How can I be called an expert? I owe a lot of money in the Northern Capital and was kicked to the south by my brother, who is the Grand Duke. It's so that a bunch of cuckolds don't talk about me all day and annoy him." Kao said with a smile.
This person's words were vulgar and didn't sound like a noble at all. Furthermore, it was the way a royal family should talk. However, these words sounded much more comfortable than Black Civet's words, which were filled with killing intent. Kao slapped his forehead and said, "I was so entangled by those women that I almost forgot the purpose of my visit. But looking at Black Civet's appearance just now, I think it's useless to say anything, so I won't waste my breath. "
Allen smiled, "Lord Kao is straightforward."
"I don't like to be long-winded." Kao raised his cup and said, "If Sir Allen comes to the Northern Capital, I'll treat you to a drink. I need at least ten to twenty women to accompany me, so that you can see the beauty of the Northern Territory, which is not inferior to the Southern Territory. "
"At that time, Lord Kao still dared to hang out with me. Weren't you afraid of Lord Mason's reprimand?" Allen blinked.
Kao laughed, "That's a different matter. I admire your courage, so I treat you to wine and pick up girls. But if my big brother ordered me to kill you, I wouldn't even blink. Of course, Sir Allen doesn't need to stand on ceremony then. "
Allen nodded and said, "No matter what, I will treat Sir Kao as a good friend."
"All the more reason to have a drink with you."
The two clinked their cups and drank. Kao turned to leave. He suddenly stopped and turned around with a mysterious smile. "Since you think of me as a friend, I have to warn you. That old black raccoon didn't arrive in the south alone. Be more careful when you leave, don't be bitten by the few mad dogs he brought. "
Only then did he walk away.
Edward turned around and looked at Allen, asking, "What's the situation?"
Allen said indifferently, "Neither of them is a good thing."
'"Black Raccoon Jomo was originally Marshal Roderick's man. His words were harsh, but direct. That Kao pretended to be forthright, but he had been using some ability to test the direction of my Origin Energy just now. And before I left, I didn't forget to remind me that Black Raccoon had brought some experts from the army with him. On the surface, he was kind, but in reality, he didn't want me and the First Prince to tear off each other's faces first, and he had ulterior motives. "
Edward nodded and said, "That should be the case. It would be strange if both of them were so easy to get along with."
At this moment, the ceremonial music sounded, and the newcomer walked into the hall after changing his clothes. One on the left and one on the right, Hoey walked onto the main stage. Hoey naturally said a set of polite words like "Thank you, distinguished guest, for coming", and then the newcomer toasted the distinguished guest. Thus, the entire audience raised their glasses, and the atmosphere reached its strongest peak at this moment.
After drinking this glass of wine, the ceremony ended, and the next step was free social time. Allen gently poked Edward and said, "Go get Regis. We can leave now."
Edward wasn't surprised. Allen didn't want to go against Ruola, so that the two of them wouldn't be embarrassed, so he understood.
Looking at Ruola from afar, Allen thought to himself that he and Ou Ban didn't owe each other anything. He put down his glass and quietly left. At this moment, Jorah seemed to have sensed something, and her gaze fell on the goblet on the table. Although she didn't see Allen, she seemed to know who had put down the glass of wine and was slightly lost in thought. It wasn't until Orlando whispered in her ear that she came back to her senses.
Then, the two of them walked towards a wealthy old man. Ruola's face was full of smiles, but her mind had already flown somewhere far away.
When he returned to the hotel, Allen saw Adele sitting on the balcony with her knees in her arms from afar. The girl was bathed in the sunlight, and countless tiny dust swirled around her. This scene looked a little lonely. A trace of apology flashed through Allen's heart. At that time, in order to prepare for the family's retreat as soon as possible, Allen didn't stay in Babylon for long, so he didn't rush back to Planet Heaven.
Before he left, he only sent a short message to Adele. But Adele did not reply. Allen thought that she would stay in Babylon, so he didn't want to call her. After all, after returning to Planet Heaven this time, he would be heading north. Allen didn't want Adele to take risks with him. However, he didn't expect to see the girl who had cut her long hair short in the interstellar war appear at the starship harbor with a sniper rifle in her arms.
After returning to Planet Heaven, Allen continued to deal with all sorts of chores. Originally, he had something to say to the girl, but he never found the right time. Until now, he still hadn't had the chance to say it.
However, today seemed to be a good opportunity.
Allen coughed dryly.
Adele didn't know what she was thinking, but she was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't even know that Allen had returned. It wasn't until he heard this dry cough that he suddenly jumped up and assumed a vigilant posture. Only when she saw that it was Allen did she relax. Adele narrowed her eyes and said, "You're back so early?"
"The ceremony is over, and I've seen some people I should see, so there's no need to stay any longer. It's better to come back early and prepare for tomorrow's departure." Allen looked at the hall and said, "Where's Lucy and the others?"
"He said that he's leaving tomorrow. No matter what, he has to go shopping today. He also said that he doesn't need to wait for them to come back for dinner. He told us to settle it ourselves." Adele rolled her eyes and retreated to the chair facing the balcony railing.
Allen walked over and casually said, "Why didn't you go with me?"
"What are you doing here? There are no sniper bullets for sale here. Besides, the two ponytails have nothing to do during this period of time. They've already handmade a batch of special effects bullets for me. It'll be enough for a while. "
Allen looked at her in surprise. After this girl returned from the Garden of Eden, she had an obvious military aura on her body. In the past, Adele would never have opened her mouth to talk about sniper bullets or something, but now it seemed that talking about these things had become part of her instinct. Allen knew that this instinct was actually forced out in the Garden of Eden. Adele had already talked about sniper rifles, and Allen didn't hear her clearly. His gaze softened and he softly said something irrelevant, "Adele, don't do that kind of thing in the future."
"What is it?" The girl tilted her head and asked.
"Go to the battlefield with a sniper rifle in your arms. I know what your starting point for going to the interstellar battlefield is. Not only do I know, but so does Leon. When we met on the Sunrise, Leon mentioned that because of the Goliath family, you resolutely participated in the interstellar war. Leon said at the time that if anything happened to you, he wouldn't let the Goliath family go. The same goes for me. You're our best friend. So if you encounter a similar situation next time, please tell us. No matter what, we will protect you. You don't have to work so hard … "
He reached out to rub Adele's hair, but the girl jumped up, swept away Allen's hand, and said coldly, "So you mean I just need to be a vase?"
Allen scratched his head and said awkwardly, "That's not what I meant."
"You still say no!" Adele pointed at Allen's nose and said, "I really don't understand what you men are thinking. Could it be that we women can only be your vassals? What a joke. Ever since I was young, I've always relied on myself to get what I wanted. When have I ever relied on anyone …? "
As she spoke, Adele's gaze drifted away slightly, her cheeks flushed red, and she muttered to herself, "There's only one thing I haven't succeeded yet …"
Then she seemed to realize that she had misspoken and shook her head forcefully. "Anyway, I don't care what other women are like. All I know is that I'll rely on myself and the gun in my hand to exchange for what I need. I don't want your protection. If you and Leon really think of me as friends, you're not allowed to say such nonsense again! "
"Yes, yes, yes …" Allen raised his hand in surrender and smiled, "I'm wrong, okay? When I see Leon later, I'll cut him up for you. "
Adele snorted, jumped down barefoot, and walked to her room. Suddenly, she stopped again. She turned around and raised her arm to shoot at Allen, "Allen, it doesn't matter what others say. But I won't allow you to say anything like that again, because your words are simply denying my efforts and desperation. If you say that again, I'll really hate you! "
She gestured that she was going to pull the trigger before turning to leave.
Allen stood for a moment, raised his hand and punched his head, muttering, "You're so stupid …"
The girl, who was leaning against the corner of the corridor, covered her mouth and chuckled when she heard this.
In the afternoon, Black Raccoon Qiao Mo left the City Lord's Mansion and returned to the residence Hoey had arranged for him in a carriage. Walking into the living room, Jomo raised his head and swept his gaze across the dozen or so figures in the hall. He said indifferently, "From now on, I will remove you from the Black Wolf Army. From this moment on, you have no name, no past, and no future! "
