“Argh… Oooh…”

Demonic Fox kept her eyes glued to the float. She overheard Chen Xiaobei talking through No.8 Luban and she laughed uncontrollably.

“You really are mean! You’ve completely destroyed Nikkawa Okazaka’s dignity…”

“Girls prefer bad boys!” Chen Xiaobei grinned, and said, “How else am I going to make you laugh like that?”

“Hehe, actually, I was hoping that you could be even meaner!”

Demonic Fox laughed so hard that she was tearing up.

“Let’s go. We have to find a quiet place! No.8 Luban will have to go meet some VIP guests. I will need to respond carefully!”

Chen Xiaobei held her hand and they left.

…

After the parade was done, Nikkawa Okazaka and his bride walked into the banquet hall.

It was already seated with guests made up of Japan’s high officials and noblemen as well as representatives from countries Japan had good relations with. Chen Xiaobei controlled No.8 Luban’s every movement, going around, greeting and entertaining guests. It all went very well.

“Your Highness, your majesty. His Royal Highness requests your presence!”

An old chamberlain notified.

“Does Father need anything? Can’t it be delayed? I really want to take a rest!” Nikkawa Okazaka complained.

“His Royal Highness wants you to meet an American VIP guest!” The chamberlain replied.

“American? Alright! I’ll go now!”

Nikkawa Okazaka immediately rushed to change his attire and hairstyle.

On the surface, the USA and Japan were allies but the truth was, the USA had the absolute power and dominance. To put it frankly, Japan was just the pug that guarded the Pacific Ocean for the Americans.

How could Nikkawa Okazaka refuse to see an American guest?

“My dear wife, don’t just sit there! Hurry up and finish grooming yourself! We cannot appear to be rude!”

Nikkawa Okazaka fixed his hair in the mirror then helped No.8 Luban.

After making sure that nothing was amiss, the both of them followed the old chamberlain to a door on side of the banquet hall.

After the door, and up a flight of stairs, there was a VIP lounge.

“Crown Prince! Crown Princess! Please!”

The chamberlain opened the door to let them in before standing guard in front of the closed door.

No one else was allowed in.

A silver-haired American was sitting at the main seat.

He was not your usual American VIP.

Meanwhile, the host, Nikkawa Uchu, was sitting in the second seat.

Again, this confirmed that this VIP’s importance was far more than those sitting in the hall.

There was another man in the room with the rest of them.

Based on his facial features, he looked either European or American. Because he was painfully thin, it was hard to tell.

If it were not for the clothes on his body, he would look no different from a skeleton.

For someone so strange-looking to be in such an occasion could only mean that was no ordinary man.

Chen Xiaoebi, through No.8 Luban, observed that this skeletal man’s standing position was very strategic.

He was in a spot with the best vantage point. From there, you could see the window and the door.

The man’s beady eyes moved mechanically, alternating between the window and the door as if he was looking out for something.

Chen Xiaobei immediately came to a conclusion.

The skeletal man was there to protect the silver-haired man. He was the bodyguard from S.H.I.E.L.D.

This man must have some extraordinary skills!

His kind were called mutants.

“Allow me to introduce you.”

Nikkawa Uchu got up from his seat, pointed at the silver-haired man, and said, “This is the vice leader of S.H.I.E.L.D, Mr. Zar!”

“Mr. Zar. How are you? I’m Nikkawa Okazaka! It’s nice meeting you!”

The crown prince practically ran over. He reached out both hands to shake his hand and then bowed at ninety degrees.

Zar did not share his enthusiasm. He merely nodded politely, not even bothering to greet Nikkawa Okazaka back.

If he was the emperor, Zar might have been a little more courteous. But he was just a crown prince, a nobody to Zar.

An American official of Zar’s position only attended occasions such as this wedding just as mere formality. His true purpose of coming was something else altogether.

“Mr… Mr. Zar, how do you do?”

No.8 Luban also walked over to shake his hand.

“Haha, is this new bride a little nervous?”

Zar smiled, as his gaze ran up and down No.8 Luban’s body over and over again.

“No… I’m not… Mr. Zar, you’ve misunderstood…” No.8 Luban stuttered.

It was actually because Chen Xiaobei was trying to hold back his laughter.

“You are! Relax! I’m a very approachable person!” Zar grinned, holding No.8 Luban’s hand and not letting go.

Clearly, this man had other ideas in his mind!

He had completely ignored Nikkawa Okazaka but was very warm and a little too friendly toward No.8 Luban. Even a blind man could tell what was happening.

But Nikkawa Uchu and Nikkawa Okazaka turned a blind ear and eye, pretending like nothing happened.

Zar only had to open his mouth to ask and Nikkawa Okaza would not hesitate to hand over his bride.

The countries’ relationship depended on it. If they could draw Zar over to their side, Nikkawa Okazaka would benefit handsomely when he inherited the throne. For that, he was willing to pay the price.

Nikkawa Uchu, on the other hand, had wanted to intervene. But Chen Xiaobei had instructed that he coordinate with No.8 Luban.

So, he said nothing.

No.8 Luban stood there quietly as Zar held her hands in his, not letting go. It fluttered its lashes at Zar, making him weak in his knees.

“Mr. Zar, we don’t have much time!”

It was the skeletal man who spoke up. His said in a hoarse voice, “You have a call appointment with the President in 10 minutes!”

“Opps! This bride is just too beautiful! I almost forgot about that!”

Zar finally released No.8 Luban’s hand, as if he just woke up from a dream.

“Since Mr. Zar has something to talk about, I will leave!” No.8 Luban said.

“No, stay! Didn’t the Emperor God chant over you?”

Zar said was reluctant to see her go.

“You are now our people. You don’t have to go! Come! Sit here next to me!”

“Alright, Mr. Zar!” No.8 Luban nodded obediently.

Zar thought that Demonic Fox had been brainwashed. He would never have imagined that not only was the brainwashing unsuccessful, the gorgeous woman standing before him was not who he thought she was!
