Kite got familiar with Bruce very quickly. He felt that the other party had an elegant demeanor and was knowledgeable. No matter what they talked about, he would always be able to hit the nail on the head. Moreover, he did not put on any airs. He was simply, simply...
'There's a hint of the aura of a ruler? ' Kite thought to himself, 'If Bruce had been born in the royal family, his achievements might not be any worse than the First Prince's.'
Just as the few of them were chatting, a waiter suddenly walked up to Oliver and whispered a few words into his ear.
Oliver chuckled and looked at Kite, "This girlfriend of yours is really special."
"Oh? Kite's girlfriend is here as well? "Bruce asked," Aren't you going to bring her to meet us? "
Oliver shook his head and recounted what had happened earlier. Then he asked, "Guess who that guy is?"
"Who is it?"
Oliver smiled and said with a hint of disdain in his eyes, "Their names aren't on the name list. The two of them snuck in."
"What?" Kite asked in surprise.
Oliver then smiled again, and there was a hint of arrogance in his eyes. "I've already gotten someone to inform the guards. Just wait and watch the show. Later on, just make sure to stand out and play the role of a hero saving the damsel in distress. "As for that guy, it's just a matter of saying the word to deal with him."
Kite instantly understood what was going on. Oliver wanted him to go over and help Lilia resolve the awkward situation when she was being chased away.
Bruce also looked in Fang Xingjian's direction with great interest. It was rare to see such a farce at the Pop Clan's banquet.
As for the people who had snuck in, they were just people who were greedy for glory and wanted to find someone powerful to cling to. Both Oliver and Bruce had seen a lot of people like this. Sometimes, it would also be fun to toy around with people like this.
Two guards had appeared before Fang Xingjian and Lilia. They nodded and said politely, "May I ask if the two of you can show us your invitations?"
Lilia frowned slightly and said, "I threw it away the moment I came in. What do you guys want?"
The two guards looked at each other, and their expressions changed slightly. They looked at Fang Xingjian and Lilia with a hint of contempt and disdain. From their point of view, a little beauty like Lilia would definitely sneak into the banquet just to find a man with power and influence.
"I'm sorry, this is a private party. We suspect that the two of you have not been invited. Please come with us."
A look of surprise flashed across Lilia's face. She turned to look at Fang Xingjian, but did not receive any instructions. The two guards were getting impatient and said, "Please come with us."
The situation here had obviously attracted the attention of many people in the hall. At this moment, the gazes that were looking at Fang Xingjian and Lilia were all different. Some were mocking, some were amused, some were curious, and some were judging.
Among a group of aristocratic ladies in the distance, an aristocratic lady by the name of Vicky said, "To think that someone managed to sneak into the Pop Clan's banquet. The security measures are a little lacking."
The aristocratic lady next to her said, "Hehe, I've long felt that there's something strange about them. To think that they would dress up like this to attend the banquet. So it turns out that they've snuck in."
Another aristocratic lady said, "That lady looks quite pretty. She must be here to hook up with a man, right?"
Hearing everyone's mockery, hints of fury flashed on Lilia's face. During this period of time, under Fang Xingjian's guidance, she had already reached the level of a level 25 Conferred Knight and had started to condense specialty seeds. She was no small matter, and right now, she really wanted to make a move.
However, with her flushed face, others would think that she was ashamed and embarrassed. Kite frowned, unable to take it anymore and was about to walk out.
Oliver grabbed his shoulder and grinned, saying, "What's the hurry? The show has only just begun. Make your move when they're being escorted out. Just say that she's the female companion you brought along. This lady will definitely be extremely grateful to you. By then, you might even be able to get to the home plate tonight. "
Just then, Fang Xingjian finally opened his eyes slightly and threw a glance at the two guards. With just a simple glance, the two guards' faces turned pale. It was as if they had fallen into the icy plains of the North Pole, unable to move at all.
"Scram."
The two guards immediately retreated a few steps back. Their legs were trembling, and it was as if they were about to escape.
However, just as the two of them were about to escape, a lady dressed in white walked over quickly.
The lady had beautiful hair that cascaded down like a waterfall, an exquisite face, and fair and tender skin. She looked just like a fairy from the legends. The moment she appeared, almost everyone's gazes were attracted to her, and they gasped in admiration at how amazing the heavens' creation was.
The person who had just arrived was the Eldest Miss of the Pop Clan, Audrey Pop, who was known as the top beauty in the Northern Ice Region.
She walked up to Fang Xingjian and shook her head helplessly, "You guys can leave. The two of them are my friends."
The two guards threw a terrified glance at Fang Xingjian. Hearing Audrey's words, they immediately left as if they had been pardoned from a great crime.
Audrey's act of getting them out of the predicament shocked everyone.
Kite and Oliver were also extremely astonished. However, when they saw Audrey holding onto Fang Xingjian's hand and leaving, their mouths were agape, unable to say a word.
Bruce abruptly crushed the wine glass in his hand, and there seemed to be killing intent gathering in his eyes.
Oliver immediately recalled that Bruce and Audrey were considered to be the golden couple of the Northern Ice Region's new generation. It was said that Bruce had always been interested in Audrey, and by the looks of it, it was far from just being interested.
Audrey pulled Fang Xingjian and Lilia along and ran to a small garden. She could not help but ask, "Why are you here again? Didn't I give you the item? Are you really not afraid of death? "
She then shook her head, "Forget it. How about this? You're not bad at sneaking around, right? If you're really not afraid of death, do you dare to bring me away?"
Lilia, who was standing at the side, looked at Audrey warily. Audrey's tight and delicate beauty made her feel extremely threatened.
Especially after hearing Audrey's words, the wariness in Lilia's eyes grew even stronger. She looked at Audrey and asked, "Master, who is he?"
Fang Xingjian said calmly, "The person who gave me the stone. The Eight Directional Crimson Dragon has set its eyes on her. I'm going to protect her."
Hearing this, the wariness in Lilia's expression did not disappear. Instead, it became even more intense.
Audrey said helplessly, "What's there to protect? If you want to repay my kindness, you can just bring me away. I'll go pack up tonight. Come to my room to look for me at four in the morning. It's a deal."
Seeing how eager Audrey was, Fang Xingjian frowned slightly.
Just then, Bruce, Kite, and Oliver walked over. Hearing Audrey's words, the killing intent in Bruce's eyes grew even stronger. He looked at Fang Xingjian with jealousy and hatred.
He had known Audrey since they were young and felt that they were a match made in heaven. They were also the golden couple that was most compatible in the Northern Ice Region.
He had always thought that Audrey was also interested in him and had already taken Audrey as his woman, his exclusive property. How could he allow others to lay their hands on her? Fang Xingjian's actions were like pulling out his reverse scale.
