I am Lapland’s rat!

Did Salvatore introduce him before he came?

Oh, this is probably to prevent family members from bumping into the beast owner.

"...Zhushu, I'm starting to feel a little guilty again. What's going on?"

He wagged his tail and wrote on the table with his paws:

"I'm Xiaoyin."

"Oh, Mr. Xiaoyin, thank you very much for your care, Chelinina..."

Georgia immediately breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

Before Wu Xian could reply, footsteps sounded outside the restaurant, and Salvatore, whom he had met just now, walked over.

At this time, Salvatore had regained his calm and stubborn expression. He glanced at the people at the dining table, nodded among the various titles of "Father" and "Grandpa", and slowly sat down at the head seat of the long table. .

"Get ready to eat. Today, let's welcome Cellinina back."

As a result, several people around the dining table sat up straight and began to prepare for the pre-meal prayers.

At this time, Wu Xian knew that from now on, the operation to save the Texas family would begin.

The first step is to get the support of Georgia at the dinner party for Texas.

Chapter 9 Lively

The dinner meal made Wu Xian feel as if he had returned to Syracuse.

After all, this is Colombia. Although the Syracuse restaurant where Wu Xian was usually taken to have a meal in Lapland or Texas also has familiar specialties, in order to cater to the tastes of the locals, the restaurant's chef will always make some special dishes. The dishes undergo some improvements in taste or ingredients.

But the chef hired by the Texas family is different. Salvatore seems to have strict requirements for the "Syracuse taste", whether it is appetizers and vegetable soups, or dinners such as braised animal elbow, fried ham and feathered animal rolls, etc. , the taste is the same as what Wu Xian once tasted in Onnuoer's restaurant.

Not to mention the desserts and snacks after the meal, tiramisu... is better than Lapland's.

Ok.

When Wu Xian thought of this, he was glared at by the smiling Lapland next to him.

……

As mentioned before, the dining table in Syracuse emphasizes a lively and harmonious atmosphere, so after Salvatore came to the table and completed the pre-dinner prayers, the atmosphere did not become dull.

Georgia and her uncle began to talk about the interesting things they encountered today and the topics they heard recently in the Cast Iron City while eating. Of course, Texas and Lapland were used to this atmosphere, and they would exchange words from time to time. talk.

Salvatore, who was sitting in the main seat, would express one or two brief opinions every once in a while. Usually at this time, Salvatore's words would immediately receive strong approval from Georgia.

Wu Xian also discovered that although Qiaojia was a person who was very good at pretending to be an elder, she was also really respectful and afraid of her father.

When her views are slightly different from Salvatore's, normal people would probably find a way to discuss them with the other party, but Giorgia said directly with a smile on her face:

"Yeah, father, you are right. I do not know enough about the direction of heavy industry. Perhaps there are deeper reasons why the Bryce family chooses to operate this way...Father, you are so good."

But this may also be a skill. Under the warm lights, the atmosphere of the entire dinner party was enlivened by Georgia, and Georgia's chattering voice echoed in the restaurant.

……

When the dinner reached the final dessert stage, Wu Xian was almost full.

After eating, he had the strength to poke his head around. Crouching on the table, he looked at Salvatore and then at his uncle sitting beside him.

Mr. Uncle is a middle-aged film-making man with a fairly handsome appearance and some stubble on his face.

Wu Xian heard that Sophia's father was the youngest son of a big family and had no family inheritance rights, so he was released to marry into the Texas family.

But this can be regarded as a kind of winner in life. Although his voice at the dinner table cannot overshadow Georgia, he still has endless money to spend, no work to do and a super cute daughter.

"Why am I still a little envious, Shushu?"

Wu Xian shook his beard.

At this time, Mr. Uncle seemed to notice Wu Xian staring at him, and he gave Wu Xian a friendly smile.

So Wu Xian also winked at him.

At this point, the topic came to an end.

At the same time, Texas across the table took the initiative to raise the topic for the first time at today's dinner. She asked very casually:

"What's Aunt Georgia doing lately?"

Wu Xian: "Huh?"

Oh, in order to win Georgia's vote, Texas began to want to know what Georgia's recent needs were.

So he also turned his head and looked at Georgia across the dining table. At this moment, Georgia waved her hand and said with a smile:

"Oh... I actually didn't do much. I just met my friends for tea, dance, and went to the museum."

"By the way, Cellinina, there happens to be a tea party tomorrow afternoon, and Ms. Prilett, whom you know, is also there. Do you want to go with me?"

Wu Xian: "..."

Well, he shouldn't have expected anything from Georgia.

Wu Xian noticed that Texas had a helpless look in her eyes that was not easy to detect, but she soon turned calm:

"Let's talk about it then, Aunt Georgia. Now that I'm back to Cast Iron City, I also want to see Joanna and the others."

"Oh, yes, you should also get together with your friends. After all, you have been away for so long." Under Texas's explanation with sufficient reasons, Georgia nodded in understanding, and then smiled,

"Then if you go, tell your aunt then."

At this moment, Lapland next to Wu Xian showed a somewhat surprised expression:

"Texas, you actually have friends?"

Texas: "?"

Do you think I'm like you?

……

That was the end of dinner.

According to the speeches heard at the dinner, combined with the information Lapland told him, Wu Xian knew that Texas probably planned not to tell Georgia that she wanted to support her father.

Texas needs to understand Georgia's needs and help Georgia to a certain extent, so that when Sophia comes back from the dinner party, he can use a two-pronged approach to pull Georgia into his camp.

Although Texas was now talking about going to find his friends at dinner, Wu Xian knew that this was just Texas' way of saying "I went to the tea party because I had nothing better to do, so don't give me a blind date." Simple means of perspective.

Tomorrow Texas will still go to the tea party with Georgia.

And Lapland also has her own things to do. She wants to contact her uncle Federer, who is now working at Rhine Life, and Oliver, the exterminator who was sent to Colombia by Alberto and cannot return, to find out where Mossidi is now. state.

Although Salvatore just seemed to have forgotten that he had a son, Mosseti, there is no doubt that when Mosseti comes back, he and his two sons will still hold the key votes at the dinner party.

—— During the final battle in Tremont, Mosedi had been tortured to death by Lapland.

But after all, Mossedi is Cellinina's uncle and leads almost all the Texan family's industries in southern Colombia. No matter how you look at it, Mossedi cannot die now.

So, before leaving, Lapland asked Federer, who was still there to treat the wounded, to cure Mossetti.

Of course, neither Lapland nor Federer are rigid people. Federer Saluzzo is already very skilled at leaving something in the patient's body during surgery.

Federer is one of the best doctors in Syracuse, and it is absolutely impossible for Mosedi to find a doctor to break Federer's control in a short period of time.

Unfortunately, even so, combined with Mosedi's performance when he was tortured before, Lapland did not have much confidence that Mosedi would obey her.

This is just a last resort. If you want to get votes, in addition to Georgia, you have to choose one from Bruno or Angelica to break through.

There are still ten days until the dinner party on September 9rd.

Chapter 10 The Emperor

Same night.

Since Lapland and Texas both have things to do, what about Wu Xian?

The answer is that Wu Xian also has something to do.

As mentioned before, when Salvatore said "that" name to him, Wu Xian, who was completely confused about the name, did not ask Salvatore to get to the bottom of it. Instead, he followed the trend and made Salvatore think that Wu Xian was him. The beast master I was thinking of.

This is because Wu Xian has a better person to ask.

Because of him, Wu Xian didn't have to expose his information to his grandfather in Texas in the study.

In the night, in front of the gate of the Texas Mansion, a car would drive from the intersection on the left from time to time, pass the gate of the mansion at a constant speed, and drive to the next intersection.

Wu Xian didn't pay attention to the curious gaze of the concierge standing guard. He walked all the way from the main house along the road in the mansion to the gate. Now he just raised his paw slightly and stepped out of the manor through the gap in the iron gate. .

Looking back, the Syracusean nameplate of "Texas Mansion" glowed with a metallic luster under a light at the door. Rows of street lights were already on the road outside the mansion, and facing the street was a high-end residential area. and supporting shops.

"Well, it's almost there."

Wu Xian shook his beard, stood outside the door of Texas Mansion, and began to recite silently in his heart:

"Duck Lord..."

Looking up, I saw a lonely night wind blowing in the sky. Another car passed by without stopping, raising a burst of choking dust and smoke.

Duck Lord did not appear.

But Wu Xian was not in a hurry.

He continued to recite silently:

"Duck Lord, Duck Lord..."

……

"Duck Lord, Duck Lord, Duck Lord, Duck Lord, Duck Lord, Duck Lord, Duck Lord, Duck Lord, Duck Lord, Duck Lord, Duck Lord, Duck Lord..."

"—It's so noisy!"

It seemed that just in the blink of an eye, without Wu Xian noticing, that familiar, strange and unpleasant voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

As soon as Wu Xian turned his head, he saw a duck wearing a small suit, a small top hat, and carrying a silver suitcase walking out from behind a nearby street lamp. His eyes were as always suppressed under his black top hat. , but for some reason, Wu Xian could feel that he was a little dissatisfied at this time.

Well, it's Duck Lord.

"Young man, don't you know that I don't want to come to Cast Iron City now?"

As soon as the Duck Lord appeared, he swung his yellow flippers and came to Wu Xian. The height of this duck had an absolute advantage, which gave him a huge, round body and a long, swaying neck. It completely blocked the street light shining on Wu Xian, putting Wu Xian's entire mouse under the shadow he created.

Duck Jue pointed at Wu Xian with his wing and said nonsense:

"Young man, you'd better really have something important to talk to me about. Otherwise, I ask you to compensate me for my mental loss and time loss. The expenses will be borne by the losers Kristen and Muir Seth." .”

Wu Xian: "?"

Damn it, Ya Jue had a lot to complain about in this paragraph, and he didn’t know which one to complain about first!

What's worse is that Wu Xian can completely understand the logic in Ya Jue's words——

Ya Jue must regard Rhine Life as a human being that Wu Xian is optimistic about. Being the largest shareholder of Rhine Life, in Ya Jue's view, is helping Wu Xian's friendly trusteeship!

"……hiss."

After shaking his beard, Wu Xian decided to ask him the question he cared about most.

He wrote with his paw:

"Why don't you want to come to Cast Iron City?"

"Ah? Boy, I'm beginning to doubt your intelligence capabilities." Duck Lord quacked twice in dissatisfaction, and then said:

"Do you still need to ask? Because there is a guy I hate the most right now. He is staying in Cast Iron City and still refuses to leave!"

"—"

At this time, a stronger night wind suddenly blew in mid-air. This night wind also carried a hint of chill, blowing a few fallen leaves that were lying peacefully on the ground into the sky, causing Texas not far away. There was a rustling sound from the green trees in Si Mansion.

The headlights of a car cut through the night. The black car drove very fast from a distance, attracting Wu Xian's full attention——

The next moment, the car suddenly braked slightly forward, and there was a screeching sound between the vehicle's tires and the ground, the brake pads and the brake drum, until the vehicle stopped steadily at the person who was talking. In front of Ya Jue and Wu Xian.

Yajue also smacked his yellow duckbill and looked at the car.

At this moment, the car rolled down the rear window, and a person——

No, one...an emperor penguin sitting by the rear window put its black fins outwards on the edge of the bed of the car window!

Said Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived.The penguin in front of him was wearing a white cultural shirt, a white knitted hat, and sunglasses. From the first moment Wu Xian saw him, this penguin exuded a "rock and roll" atmosphere.
