Chapter 819 – Banquet Disturbance
Chapter 819 – Banquet Disturbance
Several guards stood outside the entrance. When they saw that it was their big sister who was leading honored guests over, they didn’t dare to say anything. They respectfully bowed and allowed them to pass.
The banquet hall was large and a self-serving buffet was set up all around. Dorelis’ eyes shined and she hurried over to the long dining tables.
Yun Die gulped. She couldn’t help but smack her lips as she looked around the banquet hall. There were many ingredients that she had only ever heard about before.
Only Senior Lin had a calm and unsurprised expression, as if nothing here impressed him.
Qin Yu looked at Yun Die. “If you want to eat anything then go and get it. We don’t have to pay so there’s no need to restrain yourself.”
Yun Die smiled in embarrassment, but in the end she couldn’t resist the temptation of good food. She picked up a tray and started walking around.
Qin Yu picked up a glass of wine and took a sip. The flavor was quite good. He casually sauntered over to a corner and stood there.
“Senior Lin, your actions today were a bit careless.”
A nameless son of the Qin Family was accompanied by someone with a heaven-step club card. As long as someone was paying attention they would definitely find it suspicious.
Senior Lin had a calm expression. “It’s fine. With your current status, you have the qualifications for people to try to win you over, so this won’t be a problem.” He paused and continued to say, “Moreover, even if someone investigates this, they won’t have any harvests because this card is a fake.”
Qin Yu nearly spat out a mouthful of wine. Even though he thought of countless possibilities, he never thought this would be the result. He looked at the cup of wine in his hand and then at the happily eating Dorelis and Yun Die. Could this be considered as cheating their way to a free meal?
If he was accidentally discovered…would he still have the face to attend the tournament?
Senior Lin said, “Don’t worry, there won’t be any problems with the card. I will look for a place to sit down. If something happens there is no need to manage me.”
If something happens there is no need to manage me?
It seemed everyone had seen the look in his eyes from before.
Whatever. If they saw it then they saw it.
Qin Yu carried his wine glass and looked around. He noticed the Xue Sisters who had arrived before him.
They really were here!
…
In the past several days, Luo He had met many people who tried to approach him through others. As long as the one introducing them had enough weight, he would usually meet these new people.
So when East Han mentioned it, he smiled and agreed. Originally he only wanted to give East Han some face; he never imagined he would be so satisfied.
He had no choice but to be satisfied!
Just by taking a sniff of the Xue Sisters’ scent, his heartbeat sped up.
This was luck, this was absolutely his luck. It was a harvest beyond his expectations.
Without pretending to be restrained, he raised his wine glass at the two sisters and smiled. “With this glass of wine, I welcome you two joining me. In the future we will all be a family.”
Su Hongyi heard East Han say that Luo He had an extremely high field of vision, so she never imagined that things would proceed so smoothly. She immediately smiled and prodded Xue Qingqing, “My beloved concubine, how do you plan on thanking me?”
Xue Qingqing blushed and glared at her. She stood up with her little sister and said, “Then from now on we must ask Mister Luo He to take care of us.”
Before both sides finished drinking their glass of wine, they were interrupted by a sudden commotion. Luo He, who was in a good mood, frowned and said, “What happened?”
Two brightly dressed young men with pale faces fell to the ground. Both of them grasped their groins and howled in pain and sorrow. Looking at their shivering bodies, it was easy to tell what sort of attack they had just received.
Many men subconsciously felt their hearts cool as they shrank away.
Across from them, Dorelis stood tall with her hands on her waist. “You two bastards, you actually tried to drug me? You must be seeking death!”
Hearing these words, the expressions of the crowd changed. In particular, the eyes of several distinguished guests darkened.
The reason they came to this banquet was to expand their circles and personal connections. If news spread out that women here were being drugged, would they still have a reputation?
Even if it wasn’t related to them, they would still be stained!
Qin Yu put down his wine glass and walked through the crowd to stand by Dorelis. He asked her in a low voice, “What kind of game are you playing this time?”
Dorelis turned her head and whispered close into his ear, “You heartless bastard, I was drugged and you don’t care at all?”
Qin Yu was expressionless. “The ones I should be caring about are these two fellows on the floor.”
“I’ve set the stage for you so take advantage and sell it well. This is your chance. Whether or not you want to interfere, that’s up to you.” Dorelis wiped her eyes and hugged Qin Yu. “Qin Yu, you have to take responsibility for me!”
With just one sentence, she pushed everything onto him.
Seeing Dorelis lower her head and cry profusely, Qi Yu was speechless for a second. Then, he discovered that everyone looked at him.
Xue Yueyue’s heart shook. Just as she was about to say something, she was held back by Xue Qingqing. Xue Qingqing gently shook her head.
A man passed through the crowd and came to the side of the two fallen youths. Seeing their current condition, his complexion became even uglier.
He turned and looked at Qin Yu. “Who are you people? Why are you here?”
Qin Yu looked at him, his expression calm. “Who are you?”
“You don’t know me? Then listen well. My name is Xia Gong!” With a cold glare, he pointed at the two people lying on the ground. “These two people are my friends. I can guarantee that based on their background, they would never do something so shameful!”
Xia Gong had a cold expression. “Let me warn you, you had best not try to disturb the banquet, otherwise you will not be able to withstand the consequences!”
The banquet hall fell silent.
Those in the crowd who had the qualifications to speak didn’t know the truth of what happened, but Xia Gong’s actions were clearly more in line with their interests.
Sensing the silence, Xia Gong was even more energized. He looked at Qin Yu as if he was looking at grass and said, “Speak. What is your goal for intentionally provoking trouble and accusing others?”
His rhetoric changed.
Qin Yu looked at him and said without expression, “Are you so sure that I cannot provoke you?”
Xia Gong coldly sneered. “You are the rank 89 Qin Yu. You have some skill, but my rank is 16!
“Apologize to my friends and lead this woman away immediately, otherwise I promise that you will regret this!”
Xia Gong just happened to have read through some materials that contained simple information on Qin Yu. And after hearing Dorelis shout out loud, he had recognized Qin Yu for who he was.
If it weren’t for this, how could he act impulsively in this sort of banquet? Rank 16 compared to rank 89, that was completely crushing his opponent!
As for the small Qin Family, there was no need to worry about them.
Luo He saw Qin Yu and he frowned imperceptibly. He immediately composed himself and loudly said, “Those that can come to the eighth floor today are all my guests. There must be a misunderstanding somewhere. Mister Xia Gong, please give me some face and don’t investigate this matter any further.”
Xia Gong coldly sneered, “Consider yourself lucky today!” He turned around and cupped his hands together, “Since Mister Luo He has spoken up, I will do my best.”
Qin Yu looked up and met eyes with Luo He. After a brief pause he pulled Dorelis up and started walking out.
Everyone’s eyes shined with thoughtfulness. They thought that this young man spoke such powerful and confident words, but he turned out to be nothing more than a rubber spear with a head made of wax. But in this sort of situation, bowing your head was also reasonable. It was impossible for someone ranked 89th to compare with Xia Gong.
Yun Die’s face was dark as she walked over to Qin Yu. She was fuming inside but she knew her teacher had informed her that they needed to keep a low profile, so she could only quietly endure it.
Dorelis didn’t resist being dragged away at all. She wiped at her eyes that had no tears and whispered into Qin Yu’s ear. “Are you really going to leave just like this? This is just shameful!”
Qin Yu didn’t care about her. When he arrived at the banquet hall entrance, he suddenly stopped and turned around. He looked at the Xue Sisters and said, “Don’t you want to leave together?”
Xue Qingqing and Xue Yueyue were stunned for a moment, but they soon reacted. They stood up without hesitation and put down their wine glasses, expressing their apologies to Luo He. Then, they passed through the banquet hall and made their way to Qin Yu.
Everyone was left dumbfounded. They stared on helplessly as the group of six left, their feelings all in disarray.
Luo He was expressionless. He clenched his fists beneath his robes but didn’t stop them in the end.
It wasn’t time yet!
The moment that Su Hongyi recognized Qin Yu, she was excited. Then, when Luo He prevented Xia Gong from doing anything, she was left disappointed for a long time. Originally she was hoping for that wretched man to leave with his tail between his legs so that she could vent a bit of her anger, but she never imagined the situation would suddenly be reversed.
Looking at the backs of the Xue Sisters, her lips moved but she didn’t say anything in the end.
Because at this moment, Su Hongyi had a premonition that even if she spoke up, they still wouldn’t stay any longer.
