Everyone's attention was attracted by Ai Mi's voice, and their eyes widened in an instant.
A corner of the black-robed man's robe was in Amy's hand, while the rest of his robe had fallen to the ground. A slender black cat was hovering in the air where the black-robed man had been standing, and its green eyes were wide open as if it were rooted to the spot.
Madam Countess' servant was a cat?!
"Meow!"
Ugly Duckling, which had crawled onto Amy's shoulder at some point, let loose a cry, and jumped high into the air. It reached out with its little paw and smacked the black cat on the head.
"Slap."
The paw wasn't very loud, and the black cat's ears only shuddered a little. It didn't appear to be very powerful.
Ugly Duckling flipped twice in the air before landing on the ground. It rolled twice on the ground before sitting down on its butt, looking a little dizzy and disoriented.
"Ghost!"
However, the paw did awaken the black cat from its stupor. Its soft black fur instantly stood on end, and it let loose a sharp cry before diving into Madam Camilla's arms, trembling uncontrollably.
"Coward Caesar." Ai Mi giggled. She was extremely happy.
"Little Black, you're so embarrassing. How could you be scared by a little guy?" Camilla gently stroked the black cat's fur with a smile. She wasn't angry at all. Instead, she was looking at Ugly Duckling with a hint of surprise.
Meg looked on with a resigned expression as Amy crouched down to pick up Ugly Duckling. She really was a little naughty. However, he didn't think that there would be a black cat under the black robe. However, he was going to have to talk to her about banquet etiquette later.
The small commotion caused by Amy had completely ruined the solemn atmosphere that the president and the city lord had created, and they were momentarily at a loss for what to do.
"Pffft … It's that little girl Amy! She conjured up a black cat!" Vivian's eyes lit up, and she almost burst into laughter.
"That's right, it's Mr. Meg and Amy. However, Amy seems to have gotten into trouble …" Luna's eyes also lit up, but she was also a little concerned at the sight of the expressions on everyone's faces.
Geoffrey also looked over, and his gaze lingered on Meg for a while. His brows furrowed slightly before he withdrew his gaze, and his expression was still as stoic as ever.
City Lord Michael also turned toward the source of the voice. His gaze fell upon Mag and Amy, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. However, a hint of a smile appeared on his face as he made his way toward Mag and Amy.
Cyril's eyes lit up at the sight of Michael making his way toward them. If he could win the City Lord's favor, then he would be able to regain all the face that he had lost earlier. He strode over to Amy, and coldly said, "Hmph, you uncultured brat. You shouldn't be here. How dare you challenge the City Lord's authority? You two —"
"Mr. Mak, Little Amy, I didn't think that you would be here as well. I thought that your restaurant hadn't joined the Aden Chamber of Commerce yet." Before Cyril had a chance to finish his sentence, Michael had already walked past him with a hearty smile on his face as he looked at Meg and Amy.
"City Lord." Meg nodded slightly at Michael and said with a smile, "Indeed, our restaurant hasn't joined the Aden Chamber of Commerce yet. We were invited to this banquet by Miss Hill today."
Amy pointed at Cyril with an aggrieved expression and said, "Uncle City Lord, this bad guy was very fierce to me. Amy is scared."
"Who dares to be fierce to our cute little Amy?" Michael frowned and looked at Cyril.
Cyril's expression had already stiffened when Michael greeted Meg first. Now that he heard Michael's words, he felt his scalp go numb. He stiffened his neck and turned around with an embarrassed smile. "City Lord, there might be a misunderstanding here."
"You are?" Michael looked at Cyril with a frown.
Cyril's expression stiffened even more. He didn't expect Michael to not even know who he was. But with Michael's status, what could he say? He hurriedly said, "I am Cyril Moreton, a director of the Aden Chamber of Commerce." After saying that, he secretly glanced in Geoffrey's direction. When he met that pair of cold eyes, his heart skipped a beat as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Michael glanced at Geoffrey, then looked at Cyril and continued, "Young man, you should treat girls with respect and love. This is the most basic conduct of a gentleman. If you don't understand, I can teach you."
"Yes! Yes … You're right. "Cyril nodded quickly, his forehead covered in a fine layer of cold sweat.
"Little Amy, have fun," Michael said with a smile. Then, he glanced at Camilla, who was hugging the black cat at the side.
"City Lord, long time no see." Camilla didn't avoid Michael's gaze, and smiled at him.
"The Countess is in a good mood tonight. I hope you can have fun too." Michael nodded with a smile. He looked at her meaningfully, and then walked forward with Geoffrey through the path that separated the crowd.
"What's the background of that man and that little girl?"
"Yes, first, Miss Hill invited them to the banquet. Now, even the City Lord is so polite to them?"
"I heard that the peace talks between the demons and the dragons were not held at Ducas Restaurant, but at Amy's. This boss is definitely not simple."
"That man's clothes are so strange, and he's so handsome. It's a pity that he already has a daughter."
Michael and Geoffrey walked toward the VIP seats. The guests were all looking at Meg in a different light, and they were all discussing Meg and his daughter in low voices. However, some of the young ladies' focus was a little different.
"Teacher Luna! Big Sister Vivian! " Amy quickly discovered Luna and Vivian. She circled around Luna, and was pleasantly surprised to see Luna, who was wearing a plain green dress and the same white ribbon. "Teacher Luna, you're so beautiful today."
"What about me? What about me? " Vivian took the initiative to step forward. Her aqua blue dress was full of elegance, and the light green silk thread outlined a beautiful pattern. The slit design showed off her long and slender legs without a doubt.
"Big Sister Vivian is also very beautiful, but Teacher Luna is prettier." Amy looked at Vivian carefully, and still firmly stood on Luna's side.
"Tsk tsk, little one, you're too biased." Vivian pursed her lips, and looked at Luna with a smile. "However, I also think that Luna is very beautiful today. If nothing goes wrong, she should be the best of the night."
"That's enough, you two." Luna snickered.
At the mention of the best of the night, many women's eyes fell on Hill and Camilla. Hill, in her red dress, had the temperament of a strong woman, while Camilla, in her black dress, was bursting with the aura of a queen. She was seductive but not seductive, and people couldn't take their eyes off her, nor did they want to compete with her.
Tonight's best of the night could only be chosen from the two of them, right?
