Old Fulin's face was gloomy, but soon restored his calmness. He slowly stood up and said: "The guests have arrived. I don't know why the two of you have come here in the middle of the night."
"Oh? Does that mean we've come uninvited? " The handsome youth's mouth curled into a smile: "Is this how the Ryan family treats their guests?"
Old Fulin coldly replied: "Is this how the Milan family treats its guests?"
The handsome youth was slightly startled. The smile on his face disappeared: "I heard that your Ryan family has applied to establish a consortium. We have come to pay a special visit. If we have taken the liberty, please forgive us." Although his words were modest, his tone and expression were still stiff. There was even a hint of sarcasm in them.
Old Fulin indifferently said: "After all, it's less than a hundred years of history. I can understand that there isn't much etiquette inheritance."
The handsome youth's face sank. He rolled his eyes and suddenly smiled: "Our Milan family's history can't be compared to your Ryan family's. But it's a pity that a giant tree grows old and flowers wither. Not every family can preserve their traditions and wealth."
Old Fulin indifferently looked at him: "Today the sun will set and tomorrow the new sun will rise. But who knows whether the new sun will follow the footsteps of the old sun?"
The handsome young man's face slightly changed. He was about to continue to speak but the girl next to him smiled: "Is there a grape banquet tonight? How can it be so sour? Patriarch, please forgive us if we offend you. We came here on behalf of our father to congratulate you. I wish your consortium a smooth sailing and a bright future."
Old Fulin faintly smiled: "My two fathers are so busy but they still remember to worry about us. It's really a 'trouble' for them."
"After all, you used to be part of our Mellon consortium. We should remember you." The girl smiled.
Old Fulin glanced at the knights behind them: "It seems that your father didn't teach you that it is forbidden to bring knights to the banquet."
The handsome youth next to him narrowed his eyes and slightly sneered: "Of course we know this, but I heard that there is a hunter in this banquet. I think you know about it. What if you get bitten by a hunter when you are together with such a dangerous creature? What would you do if you don't take any precautions? Of course, I believe that with your teachings, you will definitely be able to make that hunter obedient. But no matter how obedient a loyal dog is, there will always be a time when it goes crazy, right? "
Old Fulin glanced at Dudian from the corner of his eyes. He saw that Dudian looked calm as if he hadn't heard the words. Old Fulin was relieved: "Hunters are our guests and partners. I didn't think that Mellon consortium would treat their subordinates like this. It's really sad. I hope that they won't hear these words. Otherwise, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be any trouble."
The handsome youth was startled. There was a trace of anger in his eyes. He wanted to attack but was stopped by the girl next to him.
"I heard that the hunter you recruited was a newcomer of our Mellon consortium. Is his name Dean?" The girl asked.
Old Fulin narrowed his eyes as he smelled the intention of attack in Dudian's words. He calmly replied: "Yes, but Mr. Dean was a good friend of the Ryan family when he joined your consortium. He knew that the Ryan family used to be part of the Mellon consortium. Fortunately, Mr. Dean didn't abandon the Ryan family. He always followed us."
The girl thought that Old Fulin was cunning. She wanted to use the excuse of "poaching" to squeeze Old Fulin. She didn't expect that the old fox would block her words.
"Is that so?" The handsome youth next to her sneered: "I heard that the hunter named Dean committed a crime of theft three years ago. He stole the Dragon Mountain Ruby from the Milan family. He was sentenced to prison and the magistrate personally reviewed it. This matter shouldn't be false. Aren't you afraid that he would secretly empty your consortium's warehouse?"
Old Fulin indifferently said: "Mr. Dean was wronged. There is a mistake in this. Mr. Dean will complain to the magistrate in the future. Besides, the Dragon Mountain Ruby is one of the three treasures of the Milan family. It is worrying that the guards are so lax. "
The handsome youth clenched his fists. He was so angry that his chest was blocked.
"We can't win against this old fox." The girl whispered to Old Fulin: "I see that the banquet is about to begin. Are you going to welcome us?"
Old Fulin indifferently smiled: "Since the two of you are here then you should participate together. But it's better to leave the knights outside. It would be impolite if they offend other people."
The handsome youth's eyes turned: "Patriarch, I suddenly have an idea. We came in a hurry so we didn't bring any gifts. How about we give a little performance to everyone?"
The other nobles looked at each other but no one answered.
Old Fulin narrowed his eyes: "There is no need for gifts. How can this old man accept gifts from the younger generation?"
"If you don't give gifts then this junior will be a little restless." The handsome youth smiled: "I have heard that the strength of the hunter surnamed Dean is extraordinary. He is an intermediate hunter. It would be better to let him cooperate with my knights so that everyone can see the abilities of this hunter."
Old Fulin's face sank. He had declared that Dean was an intermediate hunter. It was to create momentum for the consortium. The other side obviously seized this point and took the opportunity to tear him down.
Dudian saw that Old Fulin was hesitating so he said: "Alright, since I can entertain everyone then I will be happy." He took a few steps forward and smiled at the handsome youth: "Milan family, right? You must know that the hunter's skills are mainly focused on killing. I'm not very skilled in pure performance. If I accidentally hurt your subordinates then please forgive me."
The handsome youth looked up and down at Dudian. There was a trace of killing intent in his eyes. However, there was a smile on his face: "Same to you. Knights are too upright. If I accidentally hurt you then I hope you can take care of your body."
Dudian glanced at the sword on his waist: "It seems that you are also a knight. It would be better for you to show your sincerity."
The smile on the handsome youth's face stiffened. He was indeed a knight and had passed the knight's assessment. But after all he was an aristocrat. The knight's identity was just to gild his body. He didn't delve deeply into it. He was just an official junior knight. In terms of pure combat, he was slightly lacking compared to a junior hunter. He had already learned the information about Dean from the Mellon consortium. He knew that Dean was a junior hunter three years ago. Although he hadn't fully mastered the skills of a junior hunter, but he was imprisoned and tortured. But after all, a hunter's physique was still there.
"Nobles never fight with hunters." The handsome youth said generously.
Dudian smiled: "But you are also a knight, right? Shouldn't you have the courage of a knight?"
