Ultimate Assassin System

Wide and clear roads, gorgeous manors, and cavalry patrolling past from time to time. This is the east district of Laiyan City, where most of the noble mansions gather.

Driving a little deeper into the city, a majestic building suddenly appeared in a large manor. Under the shroud of night, it looks like a creeping prehistoric giant, looking down on all directions. The thick black stone wall, the imposing dark gold gate, and an anchor-shaped sign hanging above the gate, this is the castle of the Auston family.

Looking at the towering door wall, Tang En breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help rubbing his hands. It's really impressive... Well, the defense force is also heavily guarded.

The latter comment was made on the cold giant bow and crossbow on the wall, and the unknown metal iron pipe. Fortunately, he didn't need to climb over the wall to infiltrate this time. Tang En took out a gold-plated invitation card and handed it to the waiter. A man who looked like a housekeeper in front of the car door.

The butler took the invitation and opened it, then bowed slightly: Your Excellency Ambrose Peter, welcome to come. Please!

Tang En nodded, and then the carriage drove into the castle through the gate.

Huh... Tang En raised his eyebrows, and his eyes suddenly brightened. Squares, fountains, statues... everything is just right and beautiful.

The carriage stopped at one side of the square, and Tang En strolled towards the main hall.

Hey, why does the person in front look a little familiar?

Josiah?

The woman in front who was wearing a long pleated skirt mopping the floor turned her head in amazement. She had blonde hair and a heroic yet soft face. It was Josiah whom Tang En hadn't seen for a long time.

Hi, Betsy!

At this time, a woman in a fiery red dress trotted out from behind Tang En, and hugged Josiah.

The corner of Tang En's mouth curled slightly, and the eighth woman came too...

It's really you! I didn't dare to confirm just now, I haven't seen you for a long time. Betsy said cheerfully, grabbing Josiah's arm.

Well, yeah, something happened recently, so...

Is it because of Vincent... Uh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said it. Betsy stuck out her tongue.

Vincent? Josiah shook his head subconsciously, Vincent is quite sad... Forget it, let's not talk about it, let's have a good chat tonight.

Okay, okay. You don't know how boring I am recently, and no one plays with me... Wow, the skirt is so beautiful, so fluffy, your figure is so good, I dare not wear it...

It's supported by a silver ring inside, it's very heavy...

Becky took Josiah's hand, and the two walked inside, whispering to each other while meeting each other, laughing and falling out from time to time.

Vincent? Tang En smacked his lips, and then entered the hall.

The melodious sound of the violin, the crisp sound of clinking glasses, the sound of a slightly noisy conversation... Tang En just entered the hall, he felt his body warm, and all kinds of voices came over his face.

Such gatherings are very common among nobles, the difference is only a matter of scale. Similar to Tang En's last time attending Vincent Manor, it was a small theme music gathering. Of course, tonight's banquet is undoubtedly a large banquet, and this kind of gathering will test the comprehensive ability of the organizer. So to some extent, this is also a kind of showing off strength.

Tang En picked up a glass of wine and slowly walked among the crowd, browsing the entire hall without any trace.

From time to time, as if attracted by a certain conversation, he approached to listen.

From time to time, it's like meeting an acquaintance and raising a glass to signal from afar... In this case, naturally no one will refuse, and the person who is being signaled often smiles back and raises a glass to drink lightly. After Tang En passed by, he frantically searched, who was that person just now? What party did you meet at?

Older people talk about current affairs, and young people talk about romance. Businessmen talk about deals and cooperation, women talk about gossip... that's about it!

Tang En also saw Josiah and Becky. At this time, there were many noble young people gathered around Josiah. These young people were either elegant or calm, affectionate or eager to get... They were like peacocks with their tails open. , Competing to show off their beautiful feathers.

It is not surprising that there is such a phenomenon. It is said that a woman's wisdom is inversely proportional to her appearance, but this sentence is obviously not suitable for Josiah. Upright and youthful, with a clear appearance, but also a noble and mysterious magician, Josiah has the capital to make people so obsessed and crazy.

When Vincent pursued Josiah violently, these people felt that they had little hope and that's all. But now that Vincent has been assassinated, Josiah has become a flower without an owner. Naturally, everyone wants to be this flower protector.

Compared to Josiah, who was surrounded by the crowd, Betsy looked much more depressed. Her friend was surrounded by people and couldn't get away, and because of some family reasons, no one wanted to get close to her now. At this moment, I had no choice but to drink wine on the sidelines with my cheeks puffed out angrily...

Not long after, Tang En had already walked around the hall, remembering all the entrances and exits by heart. At the same time, he also found that there was one thing that everyone talked about the most tonight...

Good evening, Sir Paul.

Good evening, Lord Locke.

Hey, why haven't you seen Victor recently?

You still don't know? Something happened in his family...

Uh, you don't mean to be targeted by the noble alliance, do you?

To be precise, it was targeted by the noble alliance led by Earl Robert's family. His family's long-running business firm is about to be destroyed...

Oh, poor Victor...is there no way to stop this alliance?

It's difficult. If it's just the five viscounts, the problem will be solved. But now the Robert family is taking the lead, tsk tsk, the strength is terrifying...

Then let them grow so strong?

That's not true. What do you think the party is for tonight? I heard that several viscount patriarchs approached Earl Alston, and wanted him to take the lead in forming an alliance against the noble alliance.

Phew... that's good, with the Auston family coming forward, I'm sure they can suppress the noble alliance.

Who knows, there has been no movement in this noble alliance recently... I am not at ease, I always feel that they are going to make something happen.

Lock, you're thinking too much. Maybe they died down when they heard the news that the Auston family was going to come forward?

Well, I hope so...

Similar conversations continued to spread throughout the hall, and everyone was obviously very afraid of this noble alliance. Of course, this has nothing to do with Tang En, he just listened casually, and soon he found an acquaintance while wandering around.

On the right side of the hall, there is a long table of nanmu wood, on which all kinds of delicacies, wines and exotic fruits are piled up, allowing guests to take them at will.

At this moment, a well-dressed young man with an elegant temperament was standing by the table, and he tapped his hands on the table at random, as if he was thinking about which food to choose.

For a moment, he snapped his fingers, leaned down, and took a fruit platter with his right hand.

Suddenly, he felt his left hand being grasped vigorously, and a deep voice rang in his ears: Thief.

The young man's body trembled slightly, his left hand slipped, and a blade flashed across his cuff.

The person who grabbed his left hand seemed to know what he was going to do. He pressed down and forced his cuff back. Immediately, the young man felt a pain in his left wrist. He couldn't help but open his palm and stood behind him. people back off.

As soon as the young man turned around, he saw a gloomy-looking middle-aged man looking at the silver spoon in his hand with great interest, his aquiline nose was very eye-catching.

Tsk tsk, you won't let go of even a single spoon, Jack, you really have the demeanor of a thief.

That's sterling silver, okay... Hey, you're... Arthur? Jack said hesitantly.

Nonsense, who am I? Tang En rolled his eyes.

Jack's eyes kept sweeping across his face: How much are we divided into?

Five five! Tang En replied firmly.

Go away... Oh God, it's really you! How did you do it?.

Secret... don't touch it, don't take my nose off. Tang En slapped away Jack's paw that was reaching out to touch his nose.

It's unbelievable! This camouflage technique is amazing! Jack was amazed at the camouflage on Tang En's face. In fact, he also had a layer of paint on his face, and he also changed his hairstyle. However, in the eyes of professionals, flaws can still be seen. For example, Tang En recognized him just now.

Okay, let's be serious, when will we do it?

Jack obviously had a plan already, and said without hesitation: When Earl Alston comes out! This is a little closer to the study, and then we will go to the study first. If not, we will go to the warehouse.

Okay, then I'll go and observe the terrain.

etc!

Um?

Give me back the spoon first!
