Poverty Alleviation Princess

Although it was only a flash, it looked like Arnold no matter what.

But why is he here?What are you investigating?I haven't heard anything about it myself?

The two who noticed something was wrong almost at the same time glanced at each other, and chose to go up to the circular corridor on the second floor.There you can better grasp the situation of the audience.

"Earl Klinger, Mrs. Meghan, Viscount Huffman..."

Elena counted them one by one, and her brows became more and more wrinkled.

When I came, I didn't notice because there were so many people, but now I found out that many of the people who came to the meeting were from the information she obtained, and they should have lost their qualifications for various reasons.

Some of them are bankrupt, some are seriously ill - even some should have gone far away without hearing from them.

But for some reason, they all appeared here again.

And it happens...

Her gaze traveled round and round on the dance floor.

No one seems to find anything wrong with it.

It's so weird.

She looked around, skipping the luxurious crystal chandelier, skipping the gorgeous or straight figures, and finally fell on the convener of this meeting——Duke Castro.

This man who was born in a veteran aristocrat and over half a century old is not only very famous in the local area, but also one of the best and most respected figures in the entire Apennine Peninsula.Compared with him, the rising star Giotto is not enough.

It is true that Giotto's influence is constantly expanding with the rise of Vengley, but there are many forces in the Apennine Peninsula that come and go.

A sentence of 'no background' is enough to kick him out of the first echelon.

The Duke of Castro was well dressed, and even the strands of his hair seemed to reveal a trace of nobility. He was holding a glass of red wine and talking about something with the people around him.

Speaking of Xingchu, you can also see them waving their arms and laughing.

Everything looks normal, however...

However, the straight back in the past has begun to bend, and no amount of expensive clothes can cover up the bloated waist.The expensive hair has also turned gray.

His eyes were no longer full of wisdom, and the exaggerated praise and flattery around him also made him deviate from his original direction.

——This may be the root of all this.

"Fortunately, Cain wasn't allowed to follow."

Ah Yuan felt a little lucky.

"what?"

Elena turned her head to look at her companion beside her.

"Originally, I wanted to bring Cain to see the world - he is also in his teens, and he will be the head of the Harris family in the future, so he should also participate in these big events. It's just that we are not affected Welcome 'Outsider', if you encounter Xia Mawei for the first time on the stage, it may bring some shadows to him, so you keep him in your annex, thinking that I will come to explore the way first."

A Yuan's expression gradually became serious.

"Now it seems that this decision is really very wise."

"what have you found?"

Elena raised her eyebrows.

Unlike herself, a local, she, as an outsider, is unlikely to know so many people present, and thus perceive problems in their current situation.

"There are too many attendants and guards."

A Yuan raised his chin vaguely, motioning Elena to look at the door downstairs.

In addition to several attendants welcoming the guests, there were also several people dressed in black who looked like security guards standing there.They were looking around, watching the entire venue with vigilance.

"There are also on the second floor."

A Yuan signaled Elena to look to both sides.As she said, there were several men in black standing at the end of the stairs and at the entrance to the balcony leading to the outside.

They also scanned the audience with their eyes without any trace.

Because it is an important parliament, it is not surprising that there are more security personnel than usual.But their behavior of looking around all the time seems to be vigilant because they 'know what's going to happen'.

In particular, they occupy important entrances and exits, places where people will inevitably pass once any problems arise.

So who would they be wary of?

"And their mood, as part of a pre-parliamentary banquet to discuss how to deal with 'Enemy of Mankind', some participants seemed too excited."

Although not very fond of meetings, she has participated in quite a few memories so far.Although not the same, if it is about an important, serious issue.

The vast majority of participants will be very serious.Even without the words 'I'm serious, I'm serious' written on my face.It was also hard to get interested in participating in the pre-conference entertainment.

Especially when vital interests are involved - such as the previous ninja meeting.

Even if you give them enough time, they won't spend time on entertainment before the meeting.Even if you can move around, it's more about gathering information than trying to relax and enjoy it.

But standing here, quite a few seem to really regard this pre-parliament banquet as a carnival.

Although these are just their guesses...

Elena also realized the problem, she and A Yuan looked at each other, and immediately said: "Let's meet Giotto and Damon."

Damon Spedo is easy to find. No matter how many people come and go in the crowd, they will subconsciously avoid it, so the one that is vacant is the one.

As an aristocrat, he hated the depraved aristocrats, and he didn't exchange too many pleasantries, and he has always been notorious.Those who took the initiative to find him rarely waited.

After all, this is that Damon Spedo.

In case any sentence offends him, his body will not float on the sea tomorrow?

Of course, there were also those who wanted to show off in front of him, but almost all of them left with their tails between their legs under Spedo's death gaze.

Obviously, he also noticed that something was wrong, so he had a faint evil spirit, making the people around him unconsciously give up their positions.

"What's the matter?" Noticing that his beloved Elena hurried over, he immediately responded.

"Damon, this council..." Elena didn't bother to say the opening remarks, she just wanted to tell their findings.

"something wrong."

The handsome man took it in one gulp.

"Where is Giotto?"

A Yuan looked up.

"Both he and G were called away just now."

Spedo raised his chin in one direction.As the leader of an emerging power, there are countless people who want to talk to him.If no one came, he would have to worry about whether there was any conspiracy against Peng Lie or Giotto.

He wasn't really worried about Giotto—that guy, even if he was thrown into a cliff, he would climb out of the abyss volcano.

It's just that in the current situation, let alone whether Elena will be in danger, just whether the council can still go on normally this time, he feels doubtful.

In other words, is the topic of this council really to discuss how to deal with the 'living dead soldiers' together?

No matter how you look at the atmosphere, it doesn't look like you are going to discuss such a serious topic.

So he hates these nobles who have degenerated and tarnished the glory of their blood.

"Don't worry about them for now, if there is any problem." He looked at Elena worriedly, then frowned at A Yuan beside Elena, "I will take you... you guys leave here."

"Thank you so much." For the sake of you not forgetting me, I'll pretend I didn't hear your perfunctory treatment of me.

A Yuan turned her head and said thanks, but her eyes were still vigilantly circling around the people around her.

More and more people in black clothes gathered at the entrance and exit.

Even if you want to leave now because you are 'unwell', it is impossible.On the contrary, there is a high possibility of being 'invited' to rest in a designated room.As for whether it is really a rest or something else when we get to the room, it is hard to say.

"The windows are also guarded."

Noticing that Spedo was looking at the French windows, A Yuan told what she and Elena saw on the second floor.

"In other words, we are completely surrounded now?"

"The roof has not been checked yet, can you find a way to see if you can run from the roof?"

A Yuan secretly pointed to the roof.

About four floors above the ground, there is a closed roof with gorgeous paintings.

"..."

But if there is really no other way to retreat, then it might be a way to try.

Opening a road from a place where there seems to be no road, you can't think of it, and the other party probably won't realize it.

As for whether it is dangerous or whether it may endanger other people... This kind of time can't be too long.

Those who noticed the problem began to vigilantly think about the way out, but most of them were still immersed in the joy of the banquet, and did not notice the danger at all.

In other words, it is not 'dangerous' for some of them.

Although A Yuan also wanted to find a way to leave, she was also very concerned about Arnold's affairs.

The reason why that guy appeared must be because of some news.I just don't know where the news is related to.Considering Arnold's sensitive identity issue, she didn't tell Spedo that she seemed to see Arnold.

I just thought that if I could find him, I would have to interrogate him...By the way, as an underground intelligence worker, I would like to ask him if there is any way to leave.

"ladies and gentlemen."

After a while, Duke Castro finally spoke.

He stood under the gorgeous crystal lamp, as if standing in the center of the stage.

"Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend this important meeting that can determine the future." His voice was loud, and his cheeks were flushed with excitement.The whole person seemed very excited.

"Everyone present here is a selected leader. I can guarantee that you will definitely make this trip worthwhile."

The sound of music gradually stopped, and the voice of people talking gradually disappeared.Everyone looked at him standing in the middle, and only his loud voice could be heard in the entire space.

"Yes, absolutely not."

He affirmed again, with a morbid grin on his face, and clapped his hands.

The attendants standing around the passage immediately closed the doors and windows, turning the gorgeous hall into a closed space.The surrounding candles lit up one by one.

"What, what happened?"

"What are you doing, even the Duke of Castro, this is too much."

"Why did you close the door? Why did you even close the windows?"

Following his weird arrangement, the crowd that had been quiet began to chatter loudly again.

But soon, these arguments were suppressed again.

Because those panicked people found that they didn't know when there were some attendants standing beside them.At this time, what these attendants held were no longer delicious food and wine, but sharp knives.

A Yuan and Elena were guarded behind the crowd by Spedo, and beside them, of course, stood guards holding weapons. There are several more servants of weapons than others.

And those people who were not flustered by this showed bright, fanatical smiles, and moved towards Duke Castro one after another.

It was like seeing a long-awaited scene.

Satisfied with the quiet and solemn scene he wanted to see, Duke Castro opened his arms again: "Welcome everyone standing here, and welcome the [Day of Judgment] with me."
