Paradise of Demonic Gods - Chapter 569

Chapter 569: Reversed Scales

Kite quickly got close with Bruce . He felt Bruce had a graceful demeanor and was knowledgeable . No matter what they talked about, he would be able to get straight to the crux of things . Moreover, Bruce did not carry himself with airs of arrogance . He simply, simply . . .

' . . . has the disposition of a sovereign?' Kite thought . 'If Bruce had been born in the royal family, his achievements might not lose out to the First Prince . '

Halfway through their conversation, an attendant suddenly walked up to Oliver and said something softly in his ear .

Oliver smiled and looked at Kite . "Your little girlfriend is really special . "

"Oh? Kite's girlfriend is here as well?" Bruce asked . "Why didn't you bring her over?"

Oliver shook his head and shared with him what had happened earlier . He then said, "Guess who that guy is . "

"Who?"

Oliver smiled with a hint of disdain in his eyes as he responded, "Their names are not on the name list . Both of them snuck in . "

"What?!" Kite exclaimed .

Oliver then smiled again with a hint of arrogance in his eyes . "I've already told them to inform the guards . Just wait to watch a good show . Later on, just find a good chance to appear and be the hero to save the damsel in distress . As for that guy, it'll just take a single word to deal with him . "

Kite instantly understood . Oliver wanted him to go over and help Lilia to resolve her predicament when she was being chased out .

Bruce looked in Fang Xingjian's direction with interest . It was rare to be able to see such a farce at the Pop Clan's banquet .

As for people like them who had snuck in, they were probably coveting for fame and wealth, wanting to find someone to curry favors to . Both Oliver and Bruce had encountered too many people like these previously, so for them, it was interesting to occasionally make a fool out of these people .

Two guards appeared before Fang Xingjian and Lilia, nodded in greeting, and said politely, "Excuse me, can I please see your invitations?"

Lilia frowned slightly and said, "We tossed them away after entering . What do you want?"

The two guards exchanged glances with slight changes to their expressions . They now looked toward Fang Xingjian and Lilia with a hint of contempt . In their opinion, a beauty like Lilia had probably snuck into the banquet to look for a man with authority and influence .

"I apologize, but this is a private banquet . We suspect that the two of you have not been invited . Please come with us . "

A hint of surprise flashed on Lilia's face . She turned to look at Fang Xingjian but did not receive any instructions from him . The two guards were already starting to get a little impatient . "Please come with us . "

The situation here had already drawn the attention of many people in the hall . Now, the gazes cast toward Fang Xingjian and Lilia were all different, with some of contempt, others of amusement . Some felt curious, and others were judging them .

Amongst a group of married ladies, one of them by the name of Vicky said, "To think that people can sneak in even into a banquet of the Pop Clan… The security really isn't up to standard . "

Another lady next to her said, "Hehe, I've long felt that they were strange to be wearing those clothes to attend this banquet . It turns out that they snuck in . "

Yet another lady added, "That lady looks quite pretty . She must be here to catch herself a man . "

Hearing the teasing coming from the crowd, hints of fury flashed on Lilia's face . During this past period of time in which she had been receiving guidance from Fang Xingjian, her cultivation level had reached that of a level 25 Conferred Knight . She was now starting to condense specialty seeds and was not to be underestimated . At this moment, she really felt like striking out at the people .

However, her flushed face was interpreted by the others as her embarrassment and awkwardness . Kite frowned and was about to step out as he could not stand it anymore .

Oliver, who was next to him, grabbed him by the shoulder and grinned, saying, "Why are you being so anxious? The show is just starting .

"If you step out after they've been dragged out, telling them that she was the lady companion you brought with you, she'll definitely fall head over heels for you . By then, you might even be able to reach home base with her tonight . "

Just then, Fang Xingjian finally opened his eyes slightly, throwing a glance toward the two guards . With this one simple glance, the faces of the two guards turned pale . It was as if they had fallen into the ice plains in the north pole and rendered unable to move .

"Scram . "

The two guards immediately retreated a few steps back with trembling legs, seeming as if they were about to flee .

However, just as the two of them were about to flee, a lady dressed in white walked over quickly .

The lady had beautiful long hair draping down her exquisite and elegant face, as well as fair and tender skin, making her appear like a legendary spirit . The moment she appeared, the gazes of almost everyone present were drawn to her, overwhelmed by how amazingly the gods had created her .

The person who had just arrived was the Young Miss of the Pop Clan, the lady who was said to be the top beauty in the Northern Ice Region—Audrey Pop .

She walked up to stand in front of Fang Xingjian and shook her head helplessly . "The two of you can leave . These two are my friends . "

The two guards threw a horrified glance toward Fang Xingjian and left immediately when they heard Audrey's words as if they had been granted amnesty .

When Audrey stepped in to help Fang Xingjian and Lilia, it shocked everyone present .

Even Kite and Oliver were also astonished . However, seeing Audrey take Fang Xingjian's hand and leave, their mouths opened wide, unable to say a word .

Bruce, who was at the side, suddenly crushed the wine glass he was holding . Killing intent seemed to be amassing in his eyes .

Oliver immediately recalled that Bruce and Audrey were seen to be the most suitably matched couple amongst the younger generation of the Northern Ice Region . It was said that Bruce had always had a crush on Audrey, and seeing how Bruce was acting now, it was clear that it was not just a crush .

Audrey pulled Fang Xingjian and Lilia away, and ran toward a small garden . She could not help but say, "Why have you come? Haven't I already given you the item? Are you really unafraid of death?"

She then shook her head . "Forget it . How about this . You're good at using stealth, right? If you're really unafraid of death, then do you dare bring me away with you?"

Lilia looked at Audrey with her guard up . With Audrey's beautiful and seemingly fragile appearance, Lilia felt Audrey was an overwhelming threat .

Furthermore, after hearing what Audrey said, Lilia's gaze reflected that she was even more wary against Audrey . Lilia looked at Audrey and asked, "Master, who is she?"

Fang Xingjian said calmly, "She's the person who gave me the stone . The Eight Directional Crimson Dragon has their eyes on her . I'm going to protect her . "

Hearing this, not only did the wariness in Lilia's eyes not disappear, but it grew even stronger .

Audrey said helplessly, "What's with the talk about protecting? If you want to repay me, then just help me escape from here . I'll go pack up, and you can come to my room to look for me at 4a . m . tonight . It's decided then . "

Seeing how eager Audrey was to try this out, Fang Xingjian frowned slightly .

It was just then that Bruce, Kite, and Oliver walked over . Having heard Audrey's words, the killing intent in Bruce's eyes grew even stronger as he glared at Fang Xingjian with great jealousy .

He had known Audrey since young and had felt that the two of them were a match made in heaven, the most suitable couple in the entire Northern Ice Region .

Bruce had always thought that Audrey had feelings for him as well, and as such, he already saw Audrey as his own woman, someone who was exclusively his . How could he possibly bear the thought of having others taint her? Fang Xingjian's current actions were simply just like pulling out his reversed scales .
