"Snowflake … Ah no, I should call you Charlotte. Long time no see. I didn't expect to see you here. What a coincidence."
Lin Jie was a little surprised to see an acquaintance at this banquet.
Although they had only met once, they could be considered acquaintances. After all, he had given a lesson to Old Wang's new assistants.
As the saying goes, a teacher for a day is a father for life … Ahem, he didn't really want to be their father. That was the principle, and their friendship as teachers was quite deep.
Speaking of which, he had joked with Ge Leige last night that he wanted to see him meet Old Wang's assistants. Who knew that they would meet today?
What a coincidence.
He turned his head and saw that Ge Leige, who had been exchanging glances with Fei Qi, was looking at him with a frightened expression.
Although this level of coincidence was very frightening, it really had nothing to do with him.
Lin Jie spread his hands to show that he was helpless about his jinx.
Ge Leige was already numb to this demon's act of pretending to be innocent. No matter how real it looked, he must be doing it on purpose!
But the most important thing now was not to discuss this demon's deep-rooted evil nature, but to think about how to face Wang Erde's assistants who were just a meter away from him … Remember the website: m.9biquge.com.
But unexpectedly, Ge Leige felt that he was relatively calm now.
He had been caught off guard by Boss Lin's words and learned the true identity and appearance of "Snowflake" — yes, the true identities of Wang Erde's assistants who had been hiding under masks — but in reality, they had not been found out until today.
After all, their appearance was too sudden and there were no clues to follow. With Wang Erde, the master of hide-and-seek who had been able to hide under the nose of the Secret Ritual Tower for two whole years, investigating them was naturally as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
At least, it would not be possible in a short period of time without investing enough manpower.
But when he thought about how he was still an important chess piece in Boss Lin's hands, a source of a lot of fun … he felt surprisingly at ease.
After all, as long as he still had value, he would not be abandoned easily. At most, he would be toyed with, and his life would not be in danger at all.
While Ge Leige remained vigilant, he began to wonder if there was something wrong with his mental state.
However, Ge Leige's vigilance seemed destined to be in vain at this moment.
Charlotte's eyes couldn't contain anyone else. She lifted her skirt and bowed deeply to Lin Jie. She blushed and said softly, "I didn't expect to see you here."
She couldn't hide her excitement, and even her hands were trembling.
As Wang Erde's assistant … or rather, a henchman, she was the only one who didn't participate in the battle on No.67 Street.
The reason was simple.
As a well-known cunning character, Wang Erde would never leave himself a way out.
Even in the battle with Yue Sefu, his mortal enemy, he still had Charlotte prepare a teleportation formation at all times. As long as he received the order, he could immediately teleport Wang Erde over without anyone noticing.
He carried out his usual vigilance.
As for Charlotte, she followed the plan and attended the mortal banquet as an ordinary person because of her identity as a noble.
It was Ji Zhixu's birthday banquet.
However, because of this, Charlotte spent a lot of time preparing the absolutely foolproof teleportation spell. As a result, she missed the start of the banquet and could only enter at breakfast time the next day.
She didn't expect to see the Lord here!
All of their actions were indeed in the Lord's eyes. Then … the Lord who knew everything personally came here. Could it be that he saw the hidden ending at a certain moment in the future?
No, she couldn't guess the Lord's intentions. As long as she followed the Lord's thoughts, even Wang Erde's orders had less priority.
From this moment on, her mission might change.
Charlotte's breathing quickened. When she thought that she might be lucky enough to be used by the Lord, she couldn't suppress her heartbeat. She stared at Lin Jie with burning eyes and said, "Is there anything I can do for you? If there is, please use me as much as you want. "
Her expression and words, coupled with her flushed face, made it seem like she was passionately in love from an ordinary person's point of view.
If one looked closely, they would discover that the light in her eyes wasn't love, but a devout devotion that bordered on faith.
Like a fanatic who saw her god descending, she couldn't wait to prostrate herself and kiss the ground in front of the Lord's feet.
However, due to the limitations of the occasion, she couldn't kneel down and kiss the ground in front of Lin Jie to show her loyalty. Thus, based on her current behavior, she was no different from a young girl who saw her sweetheart.
Thus, not far away, some of the nobles who had been surrounding Charlotte all revealed stunned expressions.
This was too unbelievable … The girl who was known for being cold and aloof, that untouchable flower, actually expressed her feelings so straightforwardly to a man of the opposite sex. The only way to describe her current state of mind was to say that they had seen a ghost.
Immediately, someone in the group recalled that this seemingly amiable young man was the person who had been invited to the first dance by Ji Zhixu last night. He was also the person involved in the massacre of Fred's family.
"This is already beyond the level of seeing a ghost …"
Their hearts were in a mess. "There's definitely a big problem with this guy!"
On the other side, Lin Jie couldn't help but twitch his mouth. How should he put it? He felt like he had run into some strange luck with women recently. These girls were all so … passionate?
Never mind Miss Ji, why did even a student whom he had only met once have such thoughts?
Wasn't this wording a little strange?
"No … there's no need to order me around." Lin Jie shook his head and complained, "You make me sound like a black-hearted contractor. However, I do have a favor to ask of you."
Charlotte's eyes lit up like a dog wagging its tail. She nodded and said, "Please ask."
Ge Leige's pupils contracted. He was instantly on high alert, his face full of nervousness. Was he finally going to make a move?
Lin Jie said, "Hmm … You seem to have arrived before us, so you should know better. Do you have any recommendations?"
Ge Leige froze on the spot. "…"
Fitch let out a soft chuckle.
Charlotte was still enthusiastic and bowed again. "It's my honor to be of service to you. I think the honey cake and black tea here are most worth tasting …"
She smiled and gestured for him to follow her. Lin Jie nodded and walked in front.
Charlotte followed and turned to look at Ge Leige. She stuck out her tongue, which had black runes engraved on it, and licked her lips. She revealed a sinister and terrifying expression, and used the spiritual intimidation unique to dark Magi to threaten him.
"Dark Magi who have pledged allegiance to the Secret Ritual Tower, follow me. Before the Lord announces victory, death will follow you like a shadow."

In a corner of the manor unknown to everyone, the laws of spacetime were distorted, causing the entire space to temporarily overlap.
The vegetation in the surroundings was in a state of rebirth and withering at the same time for a second before vanishing into nothingness.
A slender and muscular bronze arm, together with half of a naked woman's body, suddenly appeared from the ripples of spacetime.
Only half of her body was left. The middle part of her body seemed to have been cut off, but there was no flesh and blood. There were only illusions of flowing light and vibrant colors that connected to an unknown place.
Her long metallic hair fluttered in the air, and her rusty green eyes were filled with chaotic scenes.
If Michael were here, he would definitely recognize that this was one of the angels he had been waiting for — Yanar.
