The Advent of the Infinite King
Page 613
Asuna is well aware of this, having received an elite education since she was a child, she has always known what she gets and what she has to give.
She didn't like the marriage in her heart, but she had no reason not to accept or resist, so she could only watch all this calmly.
Walking into the venue of the banquet, what greets the eyes is a huge crystal lamp, which hangs down layer by layer from the high dome. The light refracts and penetrates from above, extremely bright and shocking.
Below it are two long tables, and the white tablecloth hangs down from the top to the ground.All kinds of food and drinks are too numerous to count.
At this time, there were already quite a few people inside, and when Jie Chengzhang Sanyi appeared, many people noticed, some just raised their glasses to signal, while some directly greeted him.As the waiter passed by, Asuna's parents each held a glass of wine in their hands.
Chapter 15 A man with malicious intentions
The two chatted and laughed with the people who greeted them, and Asuna's job was to smile or say thank you when someone mentioned her or praised her.But in my heart I feel extremely boring.
Xie Chen stood at a corner of the banquet, watching Asuna from a distance.At this time, he was wearing a pure black dress, and his shirt was also pure black, only the bow tie at the neckline was gray with a silvery glow.The classic dress collocation revealed a different meaning on his body at this time.
He was sitting in the corner of the banquet, looking casually at the people who were drinking wine, shaking the glass gently, with lowered eyelids and a slightly curled mouth, as if he was a night elf who should have been hiding in the night.
Some people noticed him and wanted to come up for a chat, but retreated under his indifferent twilight, but more people were wondering what his identity was, he was handsome and powerful, and he didn't know which family he belonged to There are such outstanding characters again.
But no one would have thought that Xie Chen came in by himself, without an invitation at all.Even the clothes on my body were temporarily bought in a store with an English name that looks high-end before I came here, and of course the price is also very high-end.
While her parents were chatting with the main family, Asuna told her mother to go around.Yuki Kyoko didn't object. In her opinion, Asuna had been following her and she couldn't get to know some young people, so she let her go.
Asuna who left secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Xie Chen, who had excellent eyesight, saw her small expression in her eyes, and couldn't help smiling.
Along the way, she chatted with the young man who came over for a few words, and then she evaded Asuna, who was busy and got away, and walked into the corner.Her destination was a corner on the east side of the venue. There was a rest area surrounded by scattered plants and some decorations to block her view. If she went there, she should be able to breathe a sigh of relief.
And the place Asuna wanted to go happened to be the area where Xie Chen was located, because he was located relatively outside, so he could have an overview of the audience without any pressure.
Just as Asuna approached the rest area, she saw Xie Chen who was sitting on the sofa looking at her smiling. She was a little surprised. She thought it was a child of some aristocratic family, but after thinking about it, it seemed that there was no such person.
She smiled at Xie Chen with some hesitation, nodded, and then walked inside on her own. Seeing that Xie Chen didn't do anything, it seemed that she was simply saying hello to herself, and she relaxed in her heart. A little favor.
Xie Chen is not in a hurry to get to know Asuna formally, after all, being too eager may have counterproductive effects, so just sit quietly like this, there are always opportunities.While paying attention to Asuna's movements in a ignorant manner, he thought about the danger that Asuna would encounter in the mission, and what it was.
And Asuna, who always thought Xie Chen looked familiar, finally remembered who she was in Xie Chen. It was the boy she met in the bookstore that day!She was a little surprised, she didn't expect to meet for the second time, what a coincidence.
But she also had some doubts in her heart, why did Xie Chen appear here?Judging by what he was wearing that day, it was very ordinary.
Asuna, who was half leaning on the sofa, covered her mouth with her hands and yawned quietly.I'm so sleepy, I didn't sleep well yesterday, and today I was dragged out by my friends to play for a day. I stood in high heels for a long time, and I was really tired.
But it is impossible to sleep here, the official program of the banquet has not started, let alone left.
Frowning slightly, her mouth slightly raised, Asuna was a little upset, and then she just stood up and left.
Xie Chen saw her leave the rest area, and after she walked a certain distance, he put the wine glass on the table and got up to leave.But a few steps out, he was almost hit by a waiter. Although he didn't hit anyone, the wine in the wine glass on the tray spilled on him.
Xie Chen's complexion sank, he frowned and looked at the waiter who was constantly apologizing to himself, and then rejected the proposal to provide himself with a new set of clothes, took a dry towel and wiped it casually. He waved his hand and left.
He came to complete the task, and left when he was done.If he really caught the attention of the master, he would definitely ask about his identity. Could it be that he told others that he was going to become the devil king?
Although Xie Chen is not afraid of these people, it will be very troublesome.He is not afraid of trouble, but the less unnecessary troubles, the better.
Such a delay, although it didn't take long, Asuna was no longer in Xie Chen's sight.That is to say, Xie Chen is not an ordinary person, so she can easily track her breath.
The magic power spun around the place wet with wine with some warmth, and the wet clothes immediately returned to their original state.Xie Chen chuckled: "Magic power is really useful in all kinds of ways, but I don't know if Oolas knows that I use magic power to dry clothes, will it blow hair?"
Following Asuna's breath, Xie Chen walked to the innermost part of the banquet hall. It turned out that there was a staircase hidden by the curtain in the farthest corner, and Asuna left from here.
Xie Chen lifted his heels up, and after passing through layers of stairs, a rooftop appeared in front of him, with a large area and many plants on it, like a three-dimensional garden, where a few dim lights appeared randomly, illuminating the The wooden tables and chairs below.
The breeze blows, and no one is here.
What about people?Xie Chen was a little puzzled.Standing on the same spot, Xie Chen's eyes became black and clear. The magic eyes scanned around, and finally found Asuna's figure on the other side, but it seemed that there was another person there.
Xie Chen's eyes froze, and his figure quickly ran towards where Asuna was.
"What do you want to do?" Asuna frowned slightly, looked at the opposite man with displeasure, and slowly clenched her fingers.
"Miss, I didn't want to do anything, I just wanted to get closer to you." The man was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, his hair was all smooth behind his ears, and he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, which looked elegant, but hidden behind the glasses She couldn't hide her malicious intentions from Asuna.
Chapter Sixteen
"What intimacy? Why don't you follow your father down here, what are you doing here?" Asuna scolded.
The man leaned down, lingered on Asuna's collarbone, and said with a smile: "Oh, miss, although I work in your company, it doesn't mean that I have to follow your father obediently all the time. behind the ass, understand?" The man's face was a little red, obviously drunk.
"No matter what you are here for, but now I want to be alone, please leave." Asuna glanced at the man in front of her in disgust, and wanted to turn around to leave, but she might as well be grabbed by the wrist.
"What are you doing? Let go!" Asuna panicked, trying to shake off the man's hand, but was held tightly.
"Miss, what do you think your father brought you here for? Am I not good enough? Wouldn't it be good to marry you to me? Why are you looking for other marriage partners?" The man approached step by step, approached Asuna.
"Hmph, marrying you? Are you dreaming?" Yasna frowned tightly, and her senses fell to the bottom of the person in front of her.
However, the person who was holding Asuna's wrist tightly did not relax at all, and walked forward step by step, trying to press her against the wall. Asuna bit her lower lip tightly, thinking about how to get rid of it. this situation.
When the man leaned down with evil eyes, Xie Chen appeared, grabbed the back collar of the man who wanted to do something wrong, stopped his movements, and then said coldly: "Let go of your dirty hands, Xuxiang Shinzhi."
It turned out that the man who entangled Asuna here was Nobuyuki Sugo, who trapped Asuna in the game in the later stage and tried to control her family's company.
Nobuyuki Sugō's neck was tightly strangled by the collar, and soon he was a little out of breath, so he had to involuntarily let go of Asuna's wrist.
Xie Chen snorted coldly, and threw him aside casually.Xuxiang Shinzhi staggered and fell on the flower stand next to him. Suddenly, the flower stand collapsed and many of them fell on him.
Asuna didn't expect that someone would come to rescue her at this time, she couldn't help being a little surprised, her big brown eyes were filled with gratitude to Xie Chen, she bent down and said to Xie Chen, "Really, thank you so much."
Xie Chen stretched out his hand to help her up, and smiled slightly: "You don't need to thank me, I believe whoever sees a cute girl like you being bullied by a scumbag will help."
Asuna shook her head: "No, if you don't make a timely move this time, I will"
"Don't worry, it won't happen. With me here, I will protect you." Xie Chen looked at Asuna tenderly. You are frightened."
Asuna was a little surprised, she looked at Xie Chen in a daze, a blush appeared on her cheeks, and then she said with some embarrassment: "Ah, that, that is, why did you appear here?"
"Because I saw that this person followed you sneakily after you left, and I always felt that he would not do anything good, so I followed. I didn't expect that he would do such a thing. "Xie Chen shook his head slightly and explained slowly.He wouldn't say he was following her.
At this time, Nobuyuki Xuxiang had slowly crawled out from under the collapsed flower trellis, covered in dirt, and extremely embarrassed.He looked at Xie Chen with vicious eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Hey, kid, do you know who I am? Who gave you the courage to do this?"
Xie Chen smiled slightly, turned around and said calmly: "Who gave me the courage? No one, it's just me. Why, don't you accept it?" While talking, he slowly approached him, and the momentum on his body gradually It radiated out, and all of them pressed forward.
As soon as Nobuyuki Xuxiang wanted to say something, he felt a fierce momentum coming towards him, the pressure suddenly increased, his heart trembled, and he almost fell down again.
Swallowing his saliva, Nobuyuki Sugo pretended to be tyrannical and said: "Who do you think you are? How dare you let me waste like this, I won't let you go!"
"Hehe, why don't you let me go?" Xia Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a dangerous light flashed across them. This kind of person is really troublesome, otherwise he can solve it all at once.
"Now, apologize to me right away, and then leave here. I won't care about what happened today with you." Nobuzhi Xuxiang originally wanted to ask Xie Chen to kneel down and apologize to him, but under Xie Chen's aura, A little frightened, he changed his mouth.But in his heart, he was thinking about how to slowly rectify Xie Chen after he left.
Xie Chen wanted to hear a funny joke, laughed out loud, and said to Nobuyuki Sugo with the corners of his lips curved: "What? Apologizing to a scum like you? Who do you think you are talking to? "
Suddenly his expression changed, he looked at Nobuyuki Sugo coldly, his aura suddenly increased.Xuxiang Shinzhi was unsteady and was pressed down to kneel on the ground. His eyes were full of disbelief, deep anger and humiliation. Xie Chen's behavior was like a slap in the face. Slap, a person like him is a gentleman on the surface, but in fact he is the darkest in his heart, looks extremely arrogant but actually has the most low self-esteem, and cannot bear the slightest contempt from others.
Nobuyuki Sugo hated Xie Chen to the core. After being beaten, he became more sober. He regretted why he attacked Asuna at this moment. In this way, he would leave a bad impression on the president. , it will be difficult in the future.
But this has nothing to do with Xie Chen. Now he just wants to torture the arrogant kid in front of him, and let him know what kind of serious mistake he made.But at the same time, he was forced by Xie Chen's aura and could not resist, so he had to endure it.
Xie Chen walked up to him slowly, looked down at him, and said coldly: "If it's not yours, don't try to get it. Similarly, there are some people that you are never qualified to approach, understand? "
Nobuichi Xuxiang opened his eyes wide, his face was ferocious, and his whole face was already distorted.
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
He wanted to stand up, but he couldn't move at all, so he could only choke out two words: "Understood."
Xie Chen smiled in satisfaction, raised his hand lightly, and at an angle that no one could see, a very faint black breath escaped from his fingertips, and quickly entered the center of Nobuyuki Sugo's eyebrows.
This could be considered a souvenir for you, if Asuna hadn't been watching from the sidelines, he would be able to get rid of this person now.
Asuna was on the side, a little confused about where things were going. Why would Nobuyuki Sugo, a hypocrite, kneel in front of a boy?She was a little confused, and became even more curious about Xie Chen's identity.
Xie Chen walked in front of Asuna, and put away that sinister expression. At this moment, he was like a gentle and polite young man, with a personable demeanor.
He said to Asuna: "Let's go, it's quite messy here, it's better to leave first."
Asuna did not refute, nodded and left with Xie Chen.When he was leaving, he would look back at Nobuyuki Sugo, and seeing that he was still standing still, some uneasiness emerged in his heart.
But he still didn't say anything, and quickly left with Xie Chen.And Nobuyuki Sugo who was in the same place didn't want to move, but couldn't move, his whole body seemed to be surrounded by huge ice blocks, and his whole body was frozen to death.
He kept shouting in his heart, just wait, I will definitely make your life worse than death!
Going down the stairs, Xie Chen and Asuna appeared in the banquet hall.When going downstairs just now, Xie Chen had already told Asuna his name, and the two of them exchanged contact information. To be precise, Xie Chen wrote down Asuna's contact information. After all, Asuna was wearing a dress. Bring nothing.
Not long after coming down, the official program of the whole banquet started, and the old birthday star appeared in the middle of the venue and began to give a speech.
Asuna bid farewell to Xie Chen and slowly returned to her parents with a smile on her face.
Recalling what Xie Chen told him just now about telling his parents about Nobuyuki Sugo's behavior, Asuna thought about it and decided not to say anything.
After all, she didn't know how to tell her parents about the matter of Nobuyuki Sugo. He was deeply trusted by Akira Akira. If she said it rashly, she didn't know if they would believe it. After all, it was her own marriage, and she didn't want to. If they agree, they can't force themselves, and they will find opportunities to expose his true colors slowly in the future.
But now she would never have imagined that she would be trapped in SAO in the future, betrothed by her father to Nobuyuki Sugo while unconscious.
After seeing Asuna and his parents leave safely, Xie Chen went back.
I didn't check the rewards this time until I got home and lay on the sofa.
"Mission: The hero saves the beauty, and helps Asuna break out of the siege. Completion reward: Magic pattern basics [unclaimed]"
Click to receive, and a heavy book appeared in Xie Chen's hands.
The book is dark red as a whole, and the cover seems to be made of some kind of animal skin. It has a very high texture, and there are strange golden patterns on it. In the middle of the book, there are several large golden characters "Magic pattern foundation".
Just as it looks, this book is extremely weighty, even with Xie Chen's strength, he almost couldn't hold it.
Putting the book on his lap, Xie Chen opened it eagerly. There was a signature on the title page, flying wantonly and majesticly.Although Xie Chen didn't know what the characters were, and presumably they were the unique characters of the Demon Race, he could still tell from the inside how grand the owner of this signature was.
After lightly stroking the signature with his fingers for a while, Xie Chen continued to flip back.He knows all the following texts. At the beginning, it introduces the origin, history and function of the magic pattern, and then it introduces the types of magic pattern, the basic understanding of the magic pattern, and so on.
It does not involve the learning and application of magic patterns, but for Xie Chen now, these are exactly what he needs.
