The Nine Suns of the Otherworld

If you look down from the sky above Tianluo City, you will find a silver belt twisting and twisting from the east to the west, adding a unique highlight to the black and gray cityscape, and this silver belt is actually A river, its name is Tianluo River, has a history as long as Tianluo City, and to the Tianluo people, it is like a holy river.

The Tianluo River at night is dotted with countless colored lights, making it look as magnificent and dreamy as a galaxy. Looking closely at these colored lights, there are a large number of yachts floating on the river, shuttling back and forth, making the Tianluo River a little less Quiet, a little more lively.Moreover, these yachts are very luxuriously decorated, and they look like high-end places that only rich people can visit.

Tianluo River, with its elegant environment, is also a land of luxury and luxury. Compared with other places full of fishy smell, Tianluo River is special. The breeze blows by, bringing a faint fragrance. Those silver river waters actually contain It is slightly poisonous, but this kind of poison can ferment a flower-like fragrance. This feature has attracted countless nobles and high-ranking people. After all, even the Tianluo people have the same sense of smell and beauty as ordinary people. They discovered business opportunities and developed Tianluo River into a business field that could bring them huge profits.

From eight o'clock in the evening, the number of people in the Tianluo River will gradually increase, and when it is close to ten o'clock, it is already very lively. There are noisy voices from all over the yachts in the Tianluo River.

Near the west bank, there is a particularly huge yacht moored. Its area is comparable to a small square, hundreds of meters long, and the hull is decorated with expensive materials everywhere, and the choices are very tasteful. Knowing that it was made by everyone, such a luxury yacht is rare even in the Tianluo River, which is famous for its extravagant life. Needless to say, its owner must be a wealthy and famous person.

The open-air deck has been covered with red animal skin blankets, flowers are placed everywhere, and it is arranged as a temporary banquet scene. From time to time, there are waitresses in sexy uniforms walking around holding fine wine and drinks, busy working.

There are many guests on the yacht, but if you pay attention, you will find that they are almost all young men and women. The men are handsome, while the women are beautiful and generous. The nobility of education.

A young man with black mandala lace embroidered on his clothes was standing in the center of the venue, talking with the guests. He was the host of the banquet.

Families of the Tianluo tribe are accustomed to using poisonous flowers as symbols. For example, the clothing of the Afaria family is embroidered with tulips, and the black and gold embroidery of this mandala flower shows the identity of the youth, and it is similar to another Tianluo tribe's harmony. The Afaria family is a large family - the Muki family.

This young man, named Leonard—is the young master of the Muqi family. He is handsome and of noble birth. Although he is still young, he has already achieved quite good attainments in poison art, and he is the future successor of the Muqi family. Or, even if they are not the host of the banquet, they still attract the attention of a large number of girls.

In fact, Leonard is indeed one of the most popular male aristocrats in Tianluo City among young women. He is surrounded by many beauties who are all dressed up and trying their best to please him. I have the opportunity to be the future mistress of the Baiqi family.

But Leonard seemed a little absent-minded, he always aimed at the wall clock on the yacht intentionally or unintentionally.

The hour hand is about to point to ten o'clock. According to the original itinerary plan, the yacht will leave the shore soon, drive around Tianluo City, and then return to the starting point. The duration is about five hours.

But the banquet is about to officially begin, and some guests haven't come yet.

It would be fine if the guest was someone else, Leonard wouldn't care, not everyone can be invited by him, here, they are all celebrities, and there is no one with a slightly lower status, but they Everyone cherishes this opportunity. If anyone is absent or late, Leonard will not hesitate to start the yacht on time.

However, this guest who has not shown up now is very important, which makes him feel a little anxious.

A middle-aged man appeared in the venue. He looked very different in this place full of beauties and handsome men, but no one felt strange, because this man was not a guest of the yacht, but Leonard's butler Wright, Responsible for matters related to the banquet.

At a certain distance from Leonard, Wright stopped, and Leonard quickly discovered him, knowing why he was looking for him, and at the moment, he and the few nobles who were pestering him The lady said excuse me, then walked over to Wright, and asked in a low voice, "How is it?"

Wright said respectfully, "Master, the number of people has been counted. Except Miss Cindy, all other distinguished guests have arrived."

Leonard frowned: "What, Miss Cindy hasn't arrived yet, are you sure you've already counted all the places on the yacht?"

What he has to wait for is that special guest, Cindy. In addition to being the daughter of the patriarch of the Afalia family, Cindy's charm also fascinates Leonard very much, but as the young master of Mu Qi , he was always in a disadvantageous position in the flowers, but he failed to deal with this woman.Leonard was itchy and reluctant to give up, and even a big reason for holding this banquet was for Cindy, because as the host of the banquet, he was always able to show off to attract Cindy's attention .

Wright said affirmatively: "Yes, I have asked the servants to order three times, including the bathroom, but they have not seen Miss Cindy."

Leonard no longer doubts, he trusts his butler's ability to handle affairs, he is always very careful, that's why he is highly valued by him, and many affairs are entrusted to him to handle with full authority.

"Miss Cindy, could it be that you are temporarily unable to come here?" Wright tentatively said, "Master, the banquet officially starts at ten o'clock. It's almost time. Do you think the yacht will leave on time?"

Leonard said without hesitation: "No, wait a little longer, maybe Miss Cindy is just late for something!"

If Cindy didn't come, he would lose much interest in the party.

As Leonard's butler and right-hand man, Wright naturally knows that this young master is determined to win Cindy: "Okay then, but, young master, you'd better make sure when it will be extended at the latest, all guests We are all waiting, if it is too late, I am afraid it will not be good."

"Twenty minutes!" Leonard nodded, "If Miss Cindy hasn't arrived in twenty minutes, we'll set sail!"

"Okay, then I'll arrange it!"

After Wright left, a stout young man came over: "Hey, Young Master Lai, I haven't seen Miss Cindy yet, didn't you invite her?"

The young man's clothes are also embroidered with lace, but the pattern is different from that of the Afaliya family and the Muqi family, but a black bauhinia. It is also a very famous family in Tianluo City - Gele family, but compared to the Afaliya and Huoqi families, the power and prestige of this family are somewhat inferior.

The young man's name is Kress Geller, and he is the only son of a respectable elder in the Geller family. He has a high seniority in the Geller family, so he also has a certain status in the upper class of Tianluo City.

In addition, like Leonard, Kress is also a fanatical suitor of Cindy.

The patriarch of Afalia has many suitors, but since Leonard showed his intentions for Cindy, although those people are unwilling, they only dare to fall in love secretly. Only this Kress, who was not photographed by Leonard The power and influence openly competed with it, which annoyed Leonardo very much.However, he prided himself on his demeanor and was afraid of being criticized for being narrow-minded, so Kress was also invited to this banquet.

"Not yet, maybe Ms. Cindy has some urgent business." Leonard replied nonchalantly, thinking that you want to fight Cindy with me, and it doesn't matter.

Compared with Leonard, Kress's conditions are indeed worse, but he is very narcissistic: "Oh, is it, is there a temporary emergency, or is it because Mr. Lai, you failed to invite others, hehe, At the banquet I held last month, Miss Cindy came, and she arrived early!"

This sentence is satirizing Leonard, implying that Cindy may not have any intentions for you at all, don’t wishful thinking, of course Leonard can hear it, his face changed slightly, but as the host of the banquet, he It's not easy to get angry: "Young Master Ke, I won't bother you about this. I have other things. If you feel bored, how about going over there for a drink or two first?"

"Oh, just go. If I had known that Miss Cindy would not come, I wouldn't be bothered to attend this boring banquet!" Kress laughed, and turned to leave. Leonard's face was livid with these harsh words. , fist clenched tightly.

Damn Kress, who do you think you are that I would invite you if it wasn't for the sake of face?

"Young Master Lai, don't be angry. Such a vulgar person has no aristocratic accomplishments at all. You are the young master of the Baiqi family, so you don't need to argue with him." A small man appeared out of nowhere and came to Lai In front of Leonard.

But this person was very unfamiliar, Leonard frowned and said: "You are..."

"Adrian Gero!" The little man stretched out his hand: "Although it is the first time we meet, but Young Master Lai, I have admired your name for a long time. Thank you for your invitation. It is an honor to be able to attend this banquet."

Leonard thought about it for a while, and finally remembered that the Jie Luo family has only risen in the past two years, a family that has just obtained the surname qualification not long ago, and there is a gap between the grades in Tianluo City and his own, so there is almost no intersection. .

However, this family already has a reputation. His father, Leo, who has always advocated the principle of socializing from both sides, told himself to take advantage of this banquet to invite Alan, the young master of the Gero family, but Alan was out on business. Can rush back to Tianluo City in time, but the Jieluo family attaches great importance to this invitation from the Muqi family, and intends to make friends, so this invitation letter is handed over to Allen's younger brother, this little Adrian.
