The palace, which had been opened by the secret key, had become lively again, and singing could be heard. Someone invited Chen Jingshu to dance, so Ren Xiaosu stopped chatting with her.
Chen Cheng was also invited away by a girl from the Winston family. Only Anan refused all the invitations and remained by Ren Xiaosu's side.
Mego was surrounded by a group of people and asked about the process of the battle. Some even asked what it felt like to kill someone. These young people from the Winston family didn't seem to have even experienced a proper battle.
Ren Xiaosu shook his head secretly. He didn't think these people would be able to help him much.
Moreover, he didn't like interacting with nobles from the bottom of his heart.
In comparison, this place was very similar to the consortiums in Middle Earth. Ren Xiaosu preferred the atmosphere of the Northwest.
Anan saw his expression and suddenly asked, "Do you look down on them?"
"It's not that I look down on them," Ren Xiaosu said. "It's just that we have different goals. I think it's a wrong decision for you to get involved with them."
Anan said, "Auntie is just testing your attitude. I'm staying here to tell you that later, just follow the arrangements of those rich kids, and then you'll understand why we have to get involved with them. We don't expect them to be of any help."
Ren Xiaosu was stunned. This was a little unexpected. Did the bounty hunters have other motives?
At this time, Mego suddenly waved at Ren Xiaosu. "Ren Xiaosu!"
When Ren Xiaosu walked over, Forbes Winston looked at him with a smile and asked, "This is?"
Mego said, "Oh, let me introduce everyone. This is my personal attendant."
Originally, Mego wanted to force Ren Xiaosu to chat awkwardly with him. After all, everyone had come together. Why should Mego bear all of this alone?
In the end, when Forbes Winston heard that Ren Xiaosu was a follower, he smiled politely and said, "There's exquisite food prepared for the followers and servants in the side hall. Mr. Ren Xiaosu, you can go there to have your meal and wait for Wizard Mego."
Ren Xiaosu raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect the Sorcerer Family to have such a strict concept of class. Once they heard that he was a follower, they didn't even have the mood to be polite with him.
This kind of hedonistic son of rich parents actually kept on saying that he wanted to carry out reforms. Even after he ascended to power, the nobles would still be the nobles, and the world would not change.
Ren Xiaosu felt that Russell must have been surrounded by such people back then.
In a revolution, not everyone was burdened with sincere beliefs and responsibilities. This was the normal state of the world.
When Meg heard that, he got a little angry and wanted to pull Ren Xiaosu away. However, Ren Xiaosu took a step back and said with a smile, "Then I'll go get something to eat over there. Lord Meg, I'll wait for you in the side hall."
After that, a servant brought Ren Xiaosu to the side hall.
Mego was very angry at first, but when he saw Ren Xiaosu winking at him before leaving, he put on a smile again and continued to entertain the hedonistic sons of the Winston family.
When Ren Xiaosu arrived at the side hall, he was surprised to see that it was also very lively here. The servants and followers of the various wizards were gathered here. Although no one was drinking, they were all dancing and chatting …
Compared to the main hall next door, the people here were more relaxed, and no one was putting on airs.
However, Ren Xiaosu did not join them. Instead, he quietly stood against the wall, waiting for the banquet to end. He closed his eyes, trying to listen to the movements in the main hall, in case someone suddenly attacked Mego.
A middle-aged man slowly walked to stand beside Ren Xiaosu. Ren Xiaosu opened his eyes and looked at him, but he had no intention of talking to him.
"What's your relationship with Ren He?" the middle-aged man asked with a smile.
Ren Xiaosu suddenly stared at the middle-aged man in front of him. "I also want to know the answer to the question you asked."
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu realized that Chen Cheng had brought him here tonight not to introduce him to the young wizards of the Winston family, but to bring him to meet this middle-aged man!
The reason why the bounty hunters were willing to hang out with the young people of the Winston family was to add a layer of protection for themselves.
Ren Xiaosu had to admit that this group of people was really brave. No wonder they could still be alive and kicking even under the siege of the wizard organization.
The middle-aged man said, "Let me introduce myself. I'm Zhang Haoyun, a nobody."
"Chen Jingshu asked you to talk to me about something that she couldn't talk to me about. This means that you're not a nobody in the bounty hunter organization," Ren Xiaosu said calmly. "Tell me, what do you want to talk about tonight?"
"Don't worry too much." Zhang Haoyun said with a smile, "I'm not planning to use you for anything. I just really want to know how much you know about Ren He."
"You called me here to show your sincerity. Shouldn't you tell me what you know first?" Ren Xiaosu said with a smile.
"Ren He, the founder of the Templar Assassins organization. It was initially created to fight against the CIA and extremist organizations. Later, he reached a settlement with the CIA, and the organization went underground to get in touch with the leader of the wizard organization, Russell." Zhang Haoyun said, "He's from China and has a son who's also the founder of the Knight Organization and the Qinghe Group in China."
Zhang Haoyun looked at Ren Xiaosu and said in a serious tone, "He's the source of our entire organization's faith. I'm already showing enough sincerity by telling you so much."
Ren Xiaosu was taken aback. He had thought the organization in the Warlock Nation would also be called the Knight Organization, but he did not expect it to have a different name.
Moreover, this was the first time he had heard of the CIA.
However, the two organizations, the Templar and the Knight Organization, seemed to have different functions. The Knight Organization was created to challenge the limits of their dreams and beliefs, while the Templar Organization was truly created to kill.
It seemed that because Ren Xiaosu was the first to ask for the name "Ren He," the two parties now had a basis of mutual trust.
As Chen Jingshu did not know much about Ren He, they called Zhang Haoyun over to communicate with Ren Xiaosu.
Ren Xiaosu looked at Zhang Haoyun and said, "Actually, I can't share much information with you. I know very little about Ren He."
Zhang Haoyun frowned. "Then what information can you share with me?"
Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment and said, "What I can tell you is that the Qinghe Group and the Knight Organization are still around in China. I'm considered friends with them."
"Why did you suddenly come to the Warlock Nation by yourself?" Zhang Haoyun asked.
Ren Xiaosu was silent for a moment before saying, "It's probably fate that sent me here to figure out my background. Please answer me a question. What happened to Ren He's son? Why did he snatch away the Eye of Truth to save someone?"
Zhang Haoyun answered, "Only Russell's descendants can answer this question."
Suddenly, the voice from the palace said in Ren Xiaosu's mind, "Found clues leading to Russell's descendants. Quest progress: 3/4."
