Chapter 42 Sleepless Nights (6)(1/2)

The dance party held by the Silent Island Hotel and the Dardanelles family has come to an end.

As the head of the family, Brian Barkler smiled and gave away every guest.

"The Dardanelles family thanks you for coming and look forward to meeting you again."

"I hope you have a good time!"

“Go along the way!”

Lord of Royo, Derby; Earl of Amberletter came over and said to Barkler, "It's almost time, and it's time for me to leave, Mr. Dardanell, before leaving, I have to say, congratulations, the Dardanell family has an excellent heir."

"Thank you very much for your praise. I'm sorry Siser is dealing with some questions about alchemy at this moment and cannot come to you in person."

"It doesn't matter, I can fully understand this."

Oconman Dodge of Dodge Trading, Viscount Ladur of the Bavarian family, etc. also said goodbye to Brian Barkler.

"Please say hello to your heirs on my behalf, Dodge Trading is happy to work with him."

"I would like to express my sincerest greetings to the Dardanelles on behalf of the Bavarian family, and wish Master Siser a happy one."

Everyone said goodbye to Brian Barkler. Tonight, at least at this dance, the Dardanelles family had achieved great success.

But the actions carried out in secret have not been received so far.

When the people were almost gone, Hodding whispered in Barkler's ear: "Our people have sent a message, and Shuyi has taken Liebolger away, and the time has passed by almost half a clock."

"Didn't he say he is absolutely sure that he can kill any powerful man below the Sanctuary in a short period of time in a one-on-one situation?" Brian Barkler frowned.

"Yes, he said so, but the facts are obviously not so smooth. The aura of the strong is not painted with oil paint, but is made with the blood and corpses of the enemy. Xiu Yi didn't seem to be so smooth."

"I hope he can come back alive, otherwise everything will be smooth and meaningless. In fact, if he doesn't come back within half an hour, maybe I'm going to be ready to run away."

"I believe him."

"oh?"

Huo Ding said lightly: "If a person is ready to go against a country but cannot even handle a level 6 mage, then he is a madman with paranoia. Obviously, Xiu Yi is not."

Not far away, a carriage parked at the entrance of the Silent Island Hotel.

As Raschel walked out of the carriage, Barkler frowned: "Why is he back?"

"It seems that we are visiting our Young Master Siser or not." Hodding replied.

"Damn it!" Barkler stomped his feet and turned around and whispered to Leleyessa: "Go to Shuyi's room immediately and inform them to be prepared. Our Lord Rasher is really a troublesome person."

Walking out of the carriage, Raschel's face was filled with a passionate smile.

He came to Barkler: "Sorry, Mr. Dardanell, it is very rude to leave without hello at the dance party, but unfortunately I have to do so. Out of respect for the Dardanelles family, I came back immediately after I solved the matter at hand. I hope to express my apology with practical actions rather than empty words."

"I heard something about what happened in the city tonight. It's so scary. Did that demonic cult Iglare appear in Royo City?"

"Yes."

"I hope you've caught him."

"In fact, we don't, but please don't worry, we will be able to catch him soon. No one can escape the pursuit of the empire." Rasher smiled. Barkler shrugged indifferently: "I hope so."

"Then..." Rasher dragged his tone and looked around and said, "Can I say hello to Master Siser before parting? Speaking of which, one of my guards is still playing cards with him. I hope he won't lose too much for me."

"Is that right? I'm not very clear about this. Bagnett, take Mr. Raschel to see the young master."

"Okay, patriarch." Hodding said to Rasher with a smile: "Please come with me, Mr. Rasher."

Walking through the spacious dance hall and heading towards where Shuyi was, Rasher and Hodding chatted casually.

"Mr. Bagnett, can I ask, how long have you been with the Dardanelles family?" Rasher asked casually.

"Oh, that's been a while."

"With your words, there are other people who have evaluated you. It is obvious that you are a well-read person. It is hard to imagine that a sea adventure family like the Dardanelles can have someone as a steward as you."

"Indeed, the Dardanelles family does not have the tradition of studying, but because of this, they also respect their readers. I think this may be the reason why I chose the Dardanelles family, because here, I can get what I don't have in other places. You know that sometimes money is not the only choice that people can rely on."

"Well, many times we have more motivation to do things comes from interest. Just like me, for me, the sense of accomplishment that I can catch those cunning criminals who are difficult to catch will bring me unparalleled."

"What if you didn't catch him?"

"Then I will continue to work hard. The success I get easily is limited after all, isn't I?"

"Mr. Raschel, you must admit that you are a very wise man."

"I think I'm still far behind your family. He is a real genius."

"Yes, he is indeed very talented, but he is still young and still lacks experience, and some experience is irreplaceable by talent."

"So he needs the help of an excellent character like you."

"Just do my best."

"It can be seen that he respects you very much, even surpasses your patriarch."

"Don't say that, Mr. Rasher, the patriarch suffered a great heart just because of the death of his brother and was unwilling to take charge of the matter."

"Maybe he should hand over the family to Master Dardanell now."

"Oh, there should be an expiration date, and you should not rush to achieve anything."

"It's right." Raschel muttered softly: "Don't be impatient for everything."

One of these two people is an old fox who is good at calculating. Every word is hidden in murderous intent. There are words in his words and every word trap. The other is the first fraudster in the world who is old at calculating. He is also proficient in human tricks, so slippery that he is like a fish, without giving anyone any handle.

Between lies detection and counter-detection, the former is always more difficult than the latter, so when two equally powerful confrontations, the liar usually always wins the final victory.

Therefore, in this test, Raschel did not get any chance. Hodding easily turned all the information Raschel tried to obtain into invisible, which made Raschel very dissatisfied.

Walking through the hall, they came to the long corridor, and further ahead were the living room and the bedroom.

"Let's go to the living room first," said Huo Ding.

"I have no objection." Raschel said.

At that moment, a girl suddenly appeared at the entrance of the corridor.

When the girl saw Rasher, her eyes shone brightly: "Oh, Mr. Rasher, it turns out you are here. I have been looking for you for a long time!"

The girl walked towards Rasher.

It was the girl who invited Rasher to dance, Sandy.

This made Raschel a little embarrassed.

"Oh, Sandy, I didn't expect you to be here, I thought you had left."

"I didn't see you. After skipping a few dances with you, you disappeared. Oh, Mr. Raschel, how could you leave a girl like this and ignore her? That's so rude."

A strong smile appeared in Huoding's eyes.

"I'm sorry, Sandy." Raschel said helplessly.

"I don't care, I want you to compensate me."

"Compensation? How do you compensate?"

"I want you to dance with me for a few more games."

"Now?"

"Yes, it's now."

"This is not possible, the dance party is over."

"Then stay alone with me for a while, don't you want to? Or do you hate me, Mr. Rasher?" The girl's voice was full of tenderness and obsession, just like a daughter meeting her father, and she felt reluctant to leave.

"Oh, of course not, but I still have something to do."

"What else do you have?" asked the girl.

Hodding immediately said: "Mr. Rasher wants to say goodbye to the young master, but I think this is not a big deal. You can find a place to play for a while first, and I can go and notify the young master to come out."

Rasher took a long breath. He often had the girl's "innocence" eyes and "innocent" expressions. He looked at Huoding's smile and finally nodded helplessly: "Okay, Mr. Huoding, if you win, you will do what you said."

The sentence "You won" was like a needle piercing into Hodding's heart. His smile remained unchanged, but he just bowed politely to Rasher and said, "That's it."

Speaking of this, he walked towards the end of the passage.

Looking at Huoding's back, a cold light flashed in Rasher's eyes, and a strong smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

—Rashel never believed that there was a pie in this world that would fall.

If so, it must be poisonous.

If Sandy's invitation to dance before was just a sign of the little girl avoiding the disturbance of young men, then the girl's waiting and obsession with herself at this moment made him feel a sense of conspiracy.

He had a feeling that although Cisser D'Artagneil invited him to his ball, in fact, he didn't really want to have too much contact with him.

In fact, he could never forget the look he looked at before Shu Yiglare activated the teleportation array.

Full of confidence, mysterious, and incomprehensible spirit.

He has a special temperament that ordinary teenagers do not possess at all, and there is no such tenderness and innocence that a teenager should have.

It's like an adult's soul is installed on a teenager.
