Chapter 2468

The Governor's Mansion at different times always has different scenes.

The last time he came to the Governor's Mansion, Leon was like a humble little bug who was allowed by the gods to set foot in the realm of the gods.

He was humble, vulgar, and out of tune with everything around him, and he didn't even dare to straighten his back and hold his head high when he walked.

But this time, it was still here, but he had some completely different feelings.

A ball, a niece of the governor's birthday, invited Leon to come to this ball.

It is not a simple birthday party, but a special ball, because the niece of His Excellency the Governor-General will invite outstanding young people to dance at the ball.

If anyone performs well enough, then he has a great chance of becoming the husband of the governor's niece.

This is a very common "event" among nobles, but most of the time they only hold it for their daughters, not nieces or anything like that.

Who knows how much of that niece's blood belongs to the master's family?

Today, apart from Lyon, there are many other nobles. Their purpose of coming to the ball is not to let their son marry a guy they don't think much of.

But for Leon.

Under the leadership of the butler, Leon walked around the upstairs stairs and walked through the side corridor to a huge door.

The two attendants seem to push open the heavy door with great force, and suddenly the sound of pleasant music and people chatting can be heard in the originally quiet corridor.

A living picture was displayed in front of Leon in the constantly opening doors.

Just like the performances in movies and TV shows, the nobles in costumes chatted cordially around the dance floor, and some young people danced heartily on the dance floor.

What filled the air was no longer the taste of freedom, but... the dignity of power!

"Mr. Edward, please..."

The butler's voice startled Edward, and after a slight trance, he walked into the huge room with the old butler.

In the crowd, he saw His Excellency the Governor.

Today, the Governor specially wore a flower collar and a wig to show his dignity and authority. He stood there with a slightly shy belly——

It's not that he has a big belly, he's in good shape, but it's an aristocratic tradition.

If they want to show their dignity and authority, the best thing to do is... try to make themselves look... difficult to describe.

In short, they will look at people through their nostrils with their belly slightly raised and their chin raised. This is of course a slight exaggeration.

Shy belly will give people a sense of dignity, although I don't know where this saying came from, but the nobles will abide by these etiquette.

He stretched out his hand, and the huge gemstone ring on his index finger looked a little worried that it would fall off the ring holder.

Deep sapphires are as deep as the sea.

Reminded by the steward, Leon stepped forward and held His Excellency's hand, "Good evening, Your Excellency."

His Excellency the governor slightly nodded his head and expressed his greetings reservedly, and then he introduced the nobles around him to Leon with a smile.

He didn't say what he was going to do, just a simple introduction, and then the ball officially started.

The niece of His Excellency the Governor was dressed like a princess. She wore a flower crown and stood on the edge of the dance floor.

Someone couldn't hold back any longer and came out and invited the eldest niece to dance to a song.

This is a young man who looks a little handsome. He seems to be only eighteen or nineteen years old. His eldest niece agreed to his invitation, and the two danced on the dance floor.

This young man has no status in his family, he can neither make money for the family, and the order of succession is very low.

So he basically has no way out. If he can't improve his value as soon as possible, then he will probably find his own way out when he becomes an adult.

At that time, he can't even reach the privileged class, the family will give him a sum of money, and then let him go, as an ordinary person.

Therefore, he hopes to attract the niece of His Excellency the Governor. Although this eldest niece is not particularly close to His Excellency the Governor, she is at least a close descendant, which is valuable.

If he can marry this girl, his future will be bright.

But it's a pity that when the dance music ended, His Excellency the Governor didn't even look at him, and the eldest niece also politely praised his dancing skills, and then returned to her seat.

The applause around him was not enthusiastic, and it could be seen that everyone disliked him.

He left dejectedly, then the second, the third...

This was new to Leon, who was attending a noble adult ball for the first time, and he was very interested.

Until His Excellency the Governor suggested that he also dance a song, "Why don't you try it?"

Leon froze for a moment, then pointed to his nose and asked in disbelief, "You mean... me?"

"I'm not young anymore!"

Leon is not young, and he does not intend to join in the fun, but the Governor seems to really want him to go.

"Who stipulated that only young people can play?"

"Show them dancing skills from the Federation."

Someone persuaded him, coupled with the expectations of His Excellency the Governor, Leon hesitated for a while, but still complied with the proposal of His Excellency the Governor.

He walked up to this eldest niece who was almost able to be his own daughter, and extended his hand to invite her.

The girl's hand fell gently into his, and the soft touch was wonderful.

The amazing thing is that he actually sometimes spends money to solve problems. The feelings those women gave him when they came into contact with him are completely different from what they are now.

This is a difficult thing to understand. They are both women, but they have completely different feelings. It can only be said that this world is wonderful.

The two danced heartily on the dance floor, and the eyes of the world seemed to be focused on this moment.

At the end of the dance music, Leon was slightly out of breath. Dancing is really a physical activity.

What made him somewhat unexpected was that the spectators who had been calm around him suddenly gave them warm applause.

Even the eldest niece looked at him with admiration and admiration.

To be honest, Leon was floating at this moment.

The eldest niece left quickly, and Leon didn't know what that meant, but everyone else did.

Your Excellency the Governor walked to Leon's side, with a smile on his face, "It looks like we are going to be a family."

Lyon was a little dazed, but he also had some guesses. Before he could think about it, the governor and some nobles came to the next room with him.

"What are you used to calling us?"

Your Excellency the Governor glanced at a nobleman in his forties on the left, who smiled and bowed slightly, "Investor, Your Excellency."

Your Excellency the Governor nodded, and looked at Leon again, "Yes, we are all your investors. My people told me that you have done a good job."

"Now you need to tell us investors what your project can bring to us, in a more intuitive and simple way."

"Then we'll send you money."

Leon's attention quickly shifted back from his eldest niece, he began to organize his thoughts, and then began to introduce his project to these nobles.

"Our project mainly has three profit points..."

He could already recite these contents backwards, coupled with his emotional contagion and body movements, the nobles soon became excited!

A project that can make a lot of money, if you don't invest, it will be too late!

"I heard that there is still a shortfall of 3000 to [-] million?"

Leon corrected him, "It's about 1000 million, and someone is already in contact."

His Excellency the governor waved his hand, "Give us the rest, I believe everyone can still get this little money."

Naturally, Lyon would not refuse, and this was also his purpose.

After negotiating the details, Leon was about to leave, but His Excellency the Governor obviously still had a show waiting for him.

Under the "urging" of "the lady should not be kept waiting for a long time", Leon came to the door of a room upstairs with a feeling of anticipation.

He actually already had a guess about what was inside the door. He told himself that everything he was doing now was for the smooth execution of Mr. Lynch's plan.

He sacrificed something of himself for this, but all the efforts were worth it.

He can also understand that for these nobles, the most reliable people are "family members".

If he's not, make him family!

The door opened slowly, and in the room, the girl who had already changed into a light pajamas stood by the window with a red face.

When she turned around, Leon swallowed.

A desire from the heart, the most primitive impulse is raging in his body!
That power keeps rising from the heart, wanting to break out of the body!

He let out a sound like a beast's roar, picked up the girl amidst the screams, and threw her on the bed...

It wasn't until the third day that Leon returned to the company with his legs feeling weak.

He had a great time these two days, and he was convinced that women and women were completely different.

He couldn't find that kind of impulse, that kind of feeling that made his heart beat in those girls who spent money to solve their problems.

It's more like a simple desire to vent, but this girl, he has an indescribable feeling.

A little moved, he didn't know why, he had never seen her before, and he didn't even know if he liked her, but he just wanted to.

If it wasn't for His Excellency the governor urging him to finish the work he should finish quickly, he would like to stay there for a few more days.

Lyon has an indescribable, unreal feeling that his worldview and values ​​are undergoing slight changes.

He even had an... impulse, wouldn't it be better if he didn't become a liar?
This project looks really attractive, and there are also profitable points.

What if it really succeeds?

Doesn't that mean that he doesn't need to run away?

Everything he owns will truly belong to him, and he will become His Excellency Governor's family, completely owning that girl?
This kind of thought kept brewing in his heart, the noble life and the bright future, the girl's tenderness...

When he opened the door, the backlit figure in the crack of the door punched him back from heaven to earth!
