Chapter 278 Party
The night was low, and today's night sky was extremely clear, and the spoon-like Big Dipper could be seen shining brightly on the sky. The sky is full of stars hanging upside down, like endless gems rolling down on the black flannelette, the shining light is enough to catch the hearts of the people.
A speeding car with the coat of arms of the Bethkind family was driving on Gold Wing Avenue, and its destination was Twilight Bar.
Allen sat in the car.
Jin Liancheng is the host tonight, and several of their old friends who have not seen each other for many years have a small gathering there. Allen looked at the window of the flying car, and the glass on the window reflected the colorful lights of the city. Babylon is as prosperous as ever, even though the situation on the surface is turbulent, the floating island is still peaceful. Perhaps in the hearts of the noble people on this floating island, they never thought about what kind of troubles those people on the surface could cause.
Even if the surface is caught in the flames of war, the flames are still far away from the lofty Babylon after all.
"What are you thinking?" Lucy asked next to her. The girl was wearing a simple dress with a lace and fabric cape on her shoulders. Although this is the most popular style of dress, due to the problem of ready-made clothing, there are obviously some slight incongruities with Lucy's figure.
Lucy didn't care about this problem, even with the eyesight of a noble lady of the royal family, she could at least pick out no less than ten faults in this dress.
Allen said casually: "I'm thinking about what kind of person my father is."
"I don't know what kind of person your father is, but I know very well what kind of virtue that old man in my family is." Lucy said, pointing her fingers: "Bossy, domineering, you have to listen to him. He talks about it all day long. What royal duty, without even thinking about those things is what I want?"
Allen patted her hand and said, "But he loves you. Look, he controls you, doesn't it mean that he cares about you? In contrast, I have never heard my father say a word."
Lucy was momentarily speechless.
In a blink of an eye, Twilight Bar arrived, and the flying car stopped in front of the bar's gate. Allen got out of the car, opened the door for Lucy and said, "Come on, let me introduce you to two friends."
Jin Liancheng booked a quiet seat in the bar, and he and Adele arrived early. When the two of Allen arrived, the son of the oriental nobleman was laughing in a low voice with a pair of beauties, while Adele was playing Tarot cards by herself. Seeing Alan, Jin Liancheng sent the two beauties away with a smile. The two girls left him a note with their contact information on it, but Jin Liancheng threw it aside without looking at it.
Allen shook his head and said, "I bet there are eighty if not a hundred girls who cry for Liancheng.
"
Jin Liancheng laughed and said, "Based on your words, we can tell that our Master Alan is still a rookie in love."
"In other words, are you an old bird?" Adele rolled her eyes and said.
"I'm not talented, but I know dozens of beauties, so I have some experience." Jin Liancheng said with a smile to Allen: "For the sake of our brotherhood, I'll teach you a little bit of experience, so as to save you from being deceived. Like these girls who linger in the twilight, you don’t believe them no matter how innocent and holy they are. In their friends list, it’s not normal if they don’t have a dozen or eight boyfriends.”
Alan shook his head and laughed, and introduced to Lucy: "This is Jin Liancheng, my good friend. His family sells perfume. If you like it, ask him to send ten or eight bottles. It's okay to spray it every day. .”
Jin Liancheng smiled and said, "Alan is too exaggerated."
When Allen turned to Adele, the latter stood up by herself and said, "I am Adele, let me explain in advance, I will compete with you for Allen!"
Lucy responded forcefully: "Let the horse come here."
These two girls with flamboyant personalities got together, which really gave Allen a headache, and Jin Liancheng cast a gloating look at him. Fortunately, the waiter brought drinks at this time, and Jin Liancheng filled the wine glasses of several people, raised his glasses and said, "This is a toast to Allen, to celebrate his return from the chaotic battlefield without missing arms or legs. Just wait for Leon to come back, let's The four of them reunited again."
After drinking a toast, Alan said: "I'm afraid we have to separate after a short gathering. This time I come back, I plan to form a hunting group, and I should do something for the family."
"At least you can't leave until Leon comes back." Jin Liancheng said.
Allen nodded, and asked again: "What's the situation with Leon?"
"I don't know much." Jin Liancheng sighed softly: "However, his situation should not be that easy. Judging from the information obtained by William's family, Leon should have lived with him in Outland. The brothers broke up, and there was even a war. I don’t know if the kid will come back safely.”
"The colony planet chosen by William's family for their three brothers is rich in resources, and the natives of the planet are not very powerful. It cannot be done in 30 to 50 years, and the family needs to continue to invest resources. So the three Leon brothers said they were going on an expedition, but in fact they were just going to experience the family points of the gangsters. There would not be any big crisis , but I heard that before Paul’s expedition, Diego got him a good magic weapon from his teacher. This is clearly to deal with Leon..."
"A mere Mowu should not be able to defeat Leon." Allen said.
"I think so too." Jin Liancheng smiled bitterly: "But Paul was unexpectedly despicable. He tampered with Leon's strategic intelligence and put Leon in danger. At that time, Leon was using encrypted signals on the battlefield. He sent me a text message to tell me the truth. And remind us that if he doesn’t come back, then Paul after returning to Earth may attack us because of his relationship. Leon told us to be careful, in I haven't heard from him since then."
Allen narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he didn't say anything, the wine glass in front of him suddenly cracked slightly.
Jin Liancheng saw it, but Quan pretended he didn't see anything, so he beckoned for the waiter to change the cup.
Adele next to her coughed lightly, and changed the subject: "Even Leon has to go to the battlefield. Mr. Jin seems to have a lot of free time, and he just attends receptions and salons. He is really good at dancing."
"It's also a battlefield, but the nature is different." Jin Liancheng slightly straightened his body and said, "But soon, I have to leave Babylon for a while."
"Why, you are finally going to go to war?" Adele raised her eyebrows.
"It sounds like you want me to go to the battlefield." Jin Liancheng chuckled and said, "It's a pity that I can't do what your miss wants. What I'm going to is not the outer domain, but the surface."
"Surface?"
Jin Liancheng smiled wryly: "It's not because of the Gate of Freedom and the movement that some of our family's factories on the surface were affected. The family decided to transfer those factories in the district, and I need to go there to manage them."
Adele empathized and said: "It's all thanks to this movement. Our annual income has dropped a lot. The same is true for the Federation. Wouldn't it be resolved once we sent troops to suppress it?"
Her thinking is representative of the minds of most Babylonians.
Jin Liancheng leaned back on the chair and said with a smile: "It's not that simple, Miss Adele. Think about it, the establishment of the Gate of Freedom and the announcement of those administrative districts almost happened within ten days. So It is impossible to launch such a large-scale campaign in such a short period of time without prior preparation. Then the question arises, with the federation's intelligence network, do you think the federation will not get news before the campaign starts?"
Allen replied for Adele: "In other words, do you think there are some political factors in it?"
"Isn't there? If the news wasn't intercepted by some big shots, how could the federation react when the movement broke out." Jin Liancheng shook his head and said, "But these things are too far away from us, unless one of you intends to participate in politics? "
Allen smiled and said: "I'm not interested in this. I just want to do something for grandpa. As for the future, it will be pretty good to have a foundation of my own and work and live with people around me."
Adele shook her head and said, "You don't need me to tell you that it's impossible. I don't think Mr. Horne will let you live such a poet-like life."
She specifically emphasized the word "poet".
Allen said with a smile: "Even if it's impossible, think about it."
He suddenly felt something in his heart and looked out of the private seat. A figure just appeared under the light, and Allen's eyes just happened to fall on a handsome face. The man didn't expect that Allen would find himself like a prophet. He didn't know that after being instructed by Windsor Bello, Allen had formed the habit of always paying attention to the changes around him.
Spread out your own source power like a spider web, forming a network of perception. This man just entered the edge of this perception network, and the source force on his body caused Allen to sense it. With Allen's current source strength, the perception network only covers a range less than ten meters in diameter. If it is a powerhouse like Windsor Bellow, her perception can even cover more than half of Babylon, and the sensitivity of perception can be adjusted according to needs.
For Windsor Bello, there is basically no surprise attack.
This is a boy who is about the same age as Allen and others. His light brown hair is combed back, making him look a little mature. There was a faint smile in his blue eyes, which made him, who was originally sunny and handsome, look more like a spring breeze. He didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, as if he didn't see Alan and Jin Liancheng, he looked at Adele in the booth and said, "Isn't this Miss Adele from the Mossen family?"
Then seeing Lucy, her eyes lit up again, and she exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Forgive my blindness, which family's daughter is this beautiful young lady?"
Allen glanced at Jin Liancheng, and thought to himself, where is this amorous young man?
