"Mr. Dennis, what do you think of the butterfly demons here? If you like any of them, you can bring one back later and let her serve you well. I wonder if Mr. Dennis has enjoyed a butterfly demon before? It's very exciting, hehe … "
Reynolds was already used to this kind of banquet where servants were given as gifts to curry favor. He put on a lewd smile like a tortoise meeting a tortoise with a tortoise — a kindred spirit. "Alright, Mr. James, thank you for your kind intentions." He couldn't refuse this gift. Otherwise, the host might think that he wasn't giving him face or didn't have a good impression of him. It might cause displeasure and conflict. What Reynolds needed to do now was to be smooth and slick and make friends with as many strong people as possible in the shortest amount of time. Of course, he wouldn't do something so stupid. Besides, the women who were given as gifts didn't have much status. Usually, they could only be used as tools for the recipient to vent his lust. After being ravaged, they would be abandoned or ostracized. Their fates were miserable. It was better to take them for himself. At least they would be better off than falling into the hands of others. Ever since Reynolds entered the social scene, he had already received eight servants. He didn't even need Irene to clean the house. There were also Lorna, Lisa, and Helena to do the chores themselves.
Seeing that he was willing to accept, James said happily, "Mr. Dennis, alright, you can pick one. Let's see who will be lucky enough to receive your favor." Reynolds turned his gaze back to the stage and swept his gaze over the butterfly demons. They were all masked with white veils, so he couldn't see their faces clearly. This was the habit of gifting servants. It greatly increased the excitement of the lottery. The butterfly demons also unabashedly shot their burning gazes at Reynolds because he was the youngest of the guests present. His modified appearance couldn't be considered handsome, but it was rather boorish and heroic. Being his servant was much better than being his grandfather and being an old man with one foot in the grave.
James seconded, "Mr. Dennis, you can rest assured. They are all beauties."
Reynolds's gaze was fixed on the tallest butterfly demon dancer. "Mr. James, the one in yellow in the middle of the second row will do." Because Reynolds saw that she seemed to be struggling when dancing just now, as if she was injured, he always chose the most pitiful when choosing servants and tried his best to help those who needed it the most. Furthermore, all the other butterfly demons were flirting with him, hoping to gain his favor. Only that one was an exception. She even turned her head away, not even sparing Reynolds a glance.
James said regretfully, "Mr. Dennis, in fact, the dancing quality of a Butterfly Demon is usually inversely proportional to its height. The most outstanding ones can even dance on the palm of your hand. It can be said to be the best. It's a pity that everyone only has one chance, Mr. Dennis. What a pity. But there will be another chance next time. Remember that, Mr. Dennis. "
Reynolds pretended to be sad and said, "Oh, how unlucky, Mr. James. If you have any more good stuff, don't forget Dennis!"
James smiled and said, "Definitely, definitely!"
The chosen Butterfly Demon was brought off the stage by the male tortoise servant. The other Butterfly Demons revealed disappointed expressions before continuing to flirt with other men who were more pleasing to the eye.
"Mr. Dennis, in eight days, Aosi will be holding a banquet in Keramik. I wonder if you will be able to attend?" As soon as James left, a middle-aged man at Renault's table handed over an invitation.
Long before the banquet began, James had introduced him to everyone present. Thus, Reynolds recognized him. He was Aosi, the city guard of the first class city of Keramik.
Reynolds calculated that there was still time, so he nodded and said, "Mr. Aosi's hospitality is difficult to decline. Dennis will definitely be there on time."
After exchanging pleasantries with Aosi, the third head of the Aosi family in Bibi City, Oliver Aosi, also came over and said, "Oliver, on behalf of the family, sincerely invites Mr. Dennis to come and enjoy our special training of the hot dance on the Spirit Kun Water …"
Everyone knew that the banquet was coming to an end after the gift of servants, so they took the opportunity to make invitations. Reynolds, the Akalin upstart who had risen at an astonishing speed, naturally became the focus of attention. The life of a politician was usually busy and tiring. Reynolds deeply understood this.
After dealing with everyone, Reynolds had just breathed a sigh of relief when a call came from behind him.
"Mr. Dennis."
Reynolds turned his head numbly. It was a warrior with a pair of bifurcated horns on his head and a white helmet. "Our family head invites you to come over. Please be on time tomorrow night!"
Everyone was very polite when they invited Reynolds. Only the white helmet warrior was an exception, and he indeed had the qualifications. Because the person he represented was the Akalin Island Lord, the hero level expert, Mike Sayre.
Reynolds was shocked. Could it be that Mike Sayre already knew about the matter of him knocking down Ya Ye's bamboo pole?
Reynolds' residence was in Gatuo City. It was called a residence because it was already big enough. It could not be compared to the dorms in Chang 'an Academy or Velilla's small house. It took up over twenty thousand square meters. It could not be considered a super mansion, but for a merchant to obtain such a large piece of land, it was already rare. Several special medicines had brought him huge profits. Reynolds could not be compared to before. He could be said to be the person who had risen the fastest in Akalin and the entire King's Realm.
There were two teams of Shrimp and Crab Warriors patrolling the outer courtyard 24 hours a day. Although there was an alarm barrier outside, he still had to be careful. Then again, with Reynolds' current position, it was indeed a bit embarrassing to not have any guards. But there was no need to be too exaggerated. This was because his neighbours were all famous people in the surrounding area. There were many powerful guards, so as long as something happened here, there would definitely be people coming to help. There were probably not many people who dared to send people to assassinate him. Otherwise, if they were found out, they would not be able to bear the consequences.
The safest thing was Eirinn's puppets. Scout bees, water spiders, earth frogs, wind eagles, etc. They were everywhere, in the sky, in the ground, in the trees, in the grass, they were impossible to guard against. With Eirinn's consciousness, they could all be used as scouts. This was another strong point of the Spirit Envoys. It could be described as an inescapable net that covered the entire residence. No matter how high level an assassin was, they could all hide.
Pushing open the door to the inner courtyard, his eyes suddenly opened up. There were pavilions and terraces, exquisite and elegant. The grass was green and flat, and all kinds of flowers bloomed. The water flowed, and the tinkling sounds were like wind chimes, adding a bit of elegance to the inner courtyard. This was built by Reynolds according to the style of Earth. There was only one place like this for the time being.
The butterfly monster just followed behind Reynolds without saying a word. Even when they arrived here, it was still like this. But when her slender and beautiful phoenix eyes saw the natural and pleasing scenery in front of her, she finally couldn't help but look around, feeling a sense of familiarity as if she had returned home.
