Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 597 Lively Dance Party

The band in the corner of the hall was playing music that was somewhat familiar to Angel. She had been walking to and from the neighbors near the street where she lived in the past few days. She could hear this music from time to time, but she could never name it.

It's not that she's not good at learning, but the lessons in social etiquette, dance music, and topics that have recently become popular in the upper class have overwhelmed her and she has no time to care about other things.

I'm afraid no one except a "reader" like Detective Stanton can memorize so much knowledge in a week... She cursed and followed the enthusiastic Congressman Macht to a man standing alone by the door, his expression indifferent, even a little... In front of the indifferent girl.

"My daughter, Hazel, Hazel, this is Miss Christine Theresa. She just returned to Loen from Intis."

Macht introduced.

"Hello, Miss Hazel."

Angel greeted politely.

The girl in the sky blue dress looked at Angel with lofty eyes, and just like the other guests before, she ignored the other person's appearance and examined the style of clothing and accessories.

The strange white bone bracelet seems to be in the style of the Rhoside Islands. It is very exotic. The necklace on the chest has large gems, but the overall craftsmanship is rough, showing the rough "nouveau riche" style...

Hazel quickly assessed the value of these two items, which was somewhat inconsistent with the value she felt, which made her slightly confused.

Finally, her eyes returned to the other person's face so that she could remember the other person's appearance while saying hello.

Then, her eyes solidified.

The fair skin under the smooth black hair seems to be shining under the large chandelier above her head. The purple eyes and rubies set off each other like delicate crystals. The perfect curves of the mandible and neck exude a noble temperament from the inside out. For the first time, Hazel felt a little inferior.

She subconsciously straightened her waist so that her height could be closer to that of this woman, and then answered:

"Good evening, Miss Theresa."

The conversation with the guest who entered the hall before ended with this sentence, but at this time, she somewhat hoped that the other party would continue to speak and say a few more words.

But the woman in front of him just smiled kindly, then looked at Representative Macht and started talking to him in a low voice.

call--

Hazel let out a breath of disappointment or happiness, and looked down at her bare chest. She suddenly wanted to go back to the bedroom and put on the necklace she treasured.

----

"Sorry, I'll leave for a while."

After chatting with Angel for a while, Congressman Macht excused himself and left, taking his wife back to the entrance to receive the next arriving guest. Angel took a glass of golden champagne from the tray held by the passing waiter. Walk to the side of the ballroom where there are fewer people, waiting for the dance to officially begin.

She noticed that, except for Miss Hazel Macht, who had been staring at her, most of the guests had their eyes on her. Some of them quickly looked away politely because they had accompanied their female companions, while others used The posture of drinking or talking conceals his long gaze, and his expression is full of doubts.

They should be guessing my identity. Except for Congressman Macht who got the attendance list, most people probably don't know me... Even after being promoted to demigod, Angel has never been under the gaze of so many people for a long time, so he had to He raised his glass and took a sip of champagne to ease his embarrassment.

Her eyes also scanned everyone one by one, and she quickly discovered a few familiar people.

Vincent and Laura, they are indeed here. Laura is dressed so conservatively, she must want to see my joke... Most of the lawyers who live on Burningham Road are here, because Senator Macht's wife Liana is also there. A famous lawyer? The blond man is Hibbert, the eldest son of Earl Hall. Is he coming on behalf of Earl Hall, or in his own identity?

Keeping a few people in mind that he could contact later, Angel finally turned his attention to the door that was pushed open again, and found that Senator Macht had returned to the ballroom, followed by a tall man with a bronze complexion. men.

Klein, why is he here... Angel took a deep breath and watched "Dwayne Dantès" walk into the ballroom led by the congressman, greeted several guests around him, and then looked over, He was stunned for a moment and nodded slightly as a signal.

Dantès seemed to be the last guest scheduled to arrive. Maury Macht soon came to the protruding balcony railing on the second floor of the hall, raised his glass high, and announced the start of the dance.

The band in the corner suddenly changed, and the originally brisk music slowed down and became gentle. The congressman and his wife returned to the first floor and danced the opening dance.

After the opening dance, it’s time for the official first dance. At this time, men who want to join the dance should find their own dance partners... Angel put down his wine glass and immediately found several men walking towards him eagerly, looking at Locked tightly onto her body, there was a vague momentum of competition.

She immediately looked at Klein at the door and found that he was holding a champagne glass and slowly walking towards Hazel between the two of them. Under the surprised look of the other person... they passed each other and walked faster, arriving first. The ground came to Angel's side.

"Miss, may I have the honor of asking you to dance?"

He placed the wine glass firmly on the tray of the passing waiter, stretched his right hand forward, palm upward and slightly lowered, saluting in a standard posture.

"Of course, Monsieur Dantès."

Angel gently placed his hand on Klein's, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw several other experimenters politely stopping, either looking for other targets, or lingering nearby, waiting for the next opportunity.

"you know me?"

Klein asked with some "surprise".

“During Mass at St. Samuel’s Church, I was deeply impressed by the devotion to the goddess.”

She vaguely pointed out the other party's extravagance, causing Klein to smile awkwardly but politely.

At the same time, Hazel, who was invited by other men but refused arrogantly, also looked here.

She seemed to look down on the other guests, but she also paid inexplicable attention to me, because of some sense of superiority? She couldn't be an extraordinary person, looking down on every ordinary person equally... Angel analyzed silently.

Attracted by her movements, Klein also glanced over there and said softly: "That's Senator Macht's daughter. She doesn't seem to be very happy to be the focus of this dance."

"Maybe she just thinks those young people are too superficial and is looking forward to a more mature and stable dance partner. Didn't you notice that when you passed her, she was ready to accept your invitation?"

Angel joked, and held hands with Klein. As the soft music became brisk again, he stepped into the center of the dance floor and danced lively to the music of Luen's country-style melody.

Pairs of male and female guests, with either unfamiliar or skilled steps, hugged each other and walked back and forth under the large crystal chandelier. The few guests who did not want to join or were forced to stay alone raised their wine glasses and looked at them with inexplicable emotions.

Beside a long table, Hazel Macht looked towards the center of the dance floor with her lips pursed, her eyes locked on Dantès and Theresa.

She had always been proud, but suddenly she felt that her status as an "extraordinary person" was not something to be proud of. Even if she did not have extraordinary abilities, this young lady would not be worse than herself.

She noticed that most of the other single men kept their eyes on Christine Theresa, and only occasionally looked at her, and were quickly deterred by the attitude of rejecting her. There was no doubt that the purpose of this dance was The center is this young lady.

However, extraordinary power can be improved through hard work, but appearance is different... Thinking of this, Hazel finally found some confidence. She almost wanted to leave this boring dance, return to her room, and prepare for the midnight party. Explore to gain more powerful and magical powers.

Bang, as if she was not very proficient in the dance steps, Teresa stepped on the feet of her partner Dantès. The latter's expression remained unchanged, he cleverly changed his posture, and continued dancing in harmony without making any mistakes.

The corners of Hazel's mouth finally curled up slightly, and then she felt a little disgusted by her despicable little thoughts.

……

After the song was finished, Klein sent Angel to a long table in the corner of the ballroom. There were all kinds of hot and cold food and drinks for guests to take. There was also a salon-style resting area for everyone to chat and rest.

As soon as he approached the table filled with food, Angel smelled a strong aroma, which came from fried fish steak, pan-fried foie gras, grilled oysters, cream soup and other delicacies. The glasses of wine and juice exuded attractive colors under the light. .

It was finally time to fill up our stomachs... Angel was about to step forward to enjoy the food when he suddenly saw Laura and Vincent walking slowly, who had also finished dancing a song, and looked at Ke beside him with a smile. Ryan said:
"Miss Hazel just seemed to be interested in you. As a gentleman from Loen, shouldn't I invite her to dance?"

Klein had already reached out to the plate for food. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment. His pair of deep blue eyes glanced at Angel, full of resentment.

But in order to maintain his image, he quickly gave in, breathed a sigh of relief, and walked towards Hazel in the corner.

"I thought that person was your target tonight, why did you take the initiative to drive him away?"

As soon as she got close, Laura spoke in a soft voice that made it difficult for people further away to hear her. She took a dinner plate, picked up a piece of foie gras, and enjoyed it in an elegant manner.

"I just met him a few times by chance. He is a businessman from Disi Bay. He had an interesting hunting experience in the jungle of the southern continent."

Angel explained, taking advantage of the situation to help the other party establish his identity.

"Southern Continent..."

Vincent, who was neatly dressed in military uniform, raised his eyebrows and looked at Klein, who was dancing a dull dance with Hazel in the middle of the dance floor, obviously interested.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Angel also quickly picked up a few interesting foods to fill his stomach, which was only three-thirds full before the dance.

If she hadn't subconsciously maintained her image, she would have even wanted to get another ice cream.

Unfortunately, the wonderful dining time was quickly interrupted by others. A handsome man with brilliant blond hair and a lady with high cheekbones, average appearance but good temperament came to her and Laura.

"Good evening, Ms. Laura, Colonel Vincent." The blond man raised his glass, touched it, and then looked at Angel, hiding his surprise well, "This must be Christine Trey. Miss Sha, I heard the congressman mention you just now. I’m really glad that you can come back here from Intis, otherwise Backlund would have suffered huge losses.”

This gentleman is also very good at complimenting people, and Laura was right. The congressman was really impressed by his gift-giving skills... While Angel was feeling emotional, he also remembered where he had seen him.

That was when she was Irene Watson, and she had met the Earl's eldest son, Audrey's brother, Hibbert Hall, in Earl Hall's mansion.

"I can see a completely different city from a few years ago. I am also grateful for my decision. I believe that you have a share of credit for this. Mr. Chief Secretary, I learned about the Air Pollution Investigation Committee from the newspaper when I was in Trier. efforts for this.”

She thought of the various social skills that Laura taught her, and praised the other party without concealment.

Like Congressman Macht, Hibbert was also sincerely happy to be recognized for his achievements. He introduced the woman next to him, Mary Short, director of Coim Company, which specializes in anthracite coal and high-quality charcoal. Miss.

Mary... Angel remembered this name. It and Hibbert appeared in a conspiracy in the Earl's Mansion at the same time. At that time, Hibbert's men suggested that he "do something" with Mary, but Angel finally discovered that they were just using this lady to expand their business. This increased the committee's influence and ultimately achieved the goal of promoting the environmental protection bill.

Did her last name change from "Gail" to "Short" because of divorce or remarriage... Angel was thinking while greeting the young and wealthy shareholder.

At the same time, she was also shocked that Vincent's military rank reached the rank of colonel. You must know that Senator Macht was only a major when he retired, basically falling into the ceiling of officers with no background.

So he either has a certain background, or is of high rank, and has been rewarded for his merits. No wonder Laura would choose him to cooperate... But as a colonel in the military, why does the other party want to investigate the military and the royal family, and which side does he represent? Benefit?

These people are either members of the "Witch Family", informants from the military, the son of an earl who seems to want to enter politics, shareholders and directors of emerging companies... I am the only one who is nothing but a demigod. The money to maintain dignity depends on selling extraordinary characteristics...

Angel's eyes swept over several people one by one, and he couldn't help but murmur in his heart. Suddenly, he saw Klein walking slowly beside the dance floor, and his eyes lit up.

Someone who was not even a demigod came... With a smile on her lips, she took the initiative and said:

"Mr. Dantès, let me introduce to you, this is..."

Klein, who had just finished bragging about his "Southern Continent Experience" to Hazel, felt Angel's abnormal enthusiasm, and there was obvious hesitation in his steps.
