Chapter 858: Charitable Donations (Leader Plus 4)

The beam of light fell, and Sifa immediately became the focus of the ball.

If it was before, he might still feel a little cramped.

But now, even the much-anticipated scene in Sodlark Palace has come, how can such a small scene make Xifa frightened?

He looked around with a smile under the light, raised his glass and said, "Thank you, Viscount Hill, for inviting me to the ball tonight."

"To be honest, after staying at sea for a long time, I almost forgot what Backlund's ball was like."

"Fortunately, Viscount Hill asked me to remember tonight."

"A real ball should be like this."

"There are handsome gentlemen, and there are also beautiful and charming ladies."

"Let us praise Viscount Hill and his beautiful young lady. Without them, this wonderful ball tonight would not be possible."

So the light returned to the young couple on the second floor.

Driven by Xifa, all the guests responded enthusiastically and drank the alcoholic drinks in their hands.

On the second floor, Viscount Hill was very happy.

Happiness is not about getting compliments from your guests.

I am happy because I have won the respect of the vice admiral.

So, he laughed and drank the red wine in his hand.

Although he had only had one drink, he was already slightly drunk.

Immediately afterwards, a soft melody sounded, and Viscount Hill took his wife Phoenix's hand, went down to the hall on the first floor, and danced the opening dance.

When the men present were looking for their first dance partner to invite, Sifa took another glass of champagne and walked aside, not intending to join the dance floor.

Soon, the younger sister of Viscount Hill became the object of everyone's scrambling to invite her to dance, and in the end, she walked into the dance floor with a young man.

Sifa slightly looked at the scene in front of him with the attitude of a bystander, feeling in his heart that a scene like this might not be seen again soon.

At this time, he felt a series of scorching gazes, and he looked over without showing any traces. It turned out that there were several young ladies and ladies looking at him expectantly.

Xifa quickly looked away.

The eyes of those ladies were so enthusiastic.

Xifa was worried that she would have a different spark with them, and she didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for herself, so she pretended not to find out.

He pretended to be casual and walked to the long tables with all kinds of food, picked up the plate, and picked up some steak and fried fish for himself.

Soon, the first dance was over, and as the host, Viscount Hill walked around among the guests with a glass of wine, doing various entertainments.

At this time, Xifa's heart moved slightly, and at the corner of his eyes, the bright and charming Viscountess came to his side, and also picked up the dinner plate with food between them.

Leaned over without a trace.

The lady smiled at Xifa and said, "The general didn't dance because he couldn't find a suitable partner?"

Xifa snorted and said, "I haven't danced for a long time. I was worried about making a fool of myself, so I didn't look for a dance partner."

"is that so?"

"The dance will continue. If the general needs someone to cooperate, what do you think of Monica?" Mrs. Phoenix put a piece of fried keel fish on her dinner plate.

Xifa looked at Viscount Hill's younger sister, who was surrounded by several young men, chatting and laughing with champagne.

"No, it's not polite to disturb the communication between a lady and several gentlemen." Xifa said quite gracefully.

Phoenix narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "What about me?"

Xifa sensed that there was some kind of intention in the look in the lady's eyes.

He coughed lightly, and said humorously: "In that case, Viscount Hill should challenge me to a duel, right?"

Mrs. Phoenix covered her mouth lightly with her hands, and smiled subtly: "The general's words are really interesting."

At this moment, the music stopped, and Viscount Hill tapped the porcelain cup lightly with a silver spoon, making a 'ding ding ding' sound to attract the attention of the guests.

Sifa took the opportunity to put down the plate, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, smiled at the Viscountess, and walked forward.

Seeing that he had already attracted the attention of the guests, Viscount Hill put down his cup and said to everyone with a smile.

"Everyone, tonight, we have a good night, and most of us here have a good life of our own."

"However, in our city, there are still some people who are struggling on the line of food and clothing."

"Their lives are not guaranteed at all. Perhaps just a heavy snowfall, a heavy rain, or a serious disaster will ruin their lives."

"Take last night as an example. I believe everyone has read today's newspaper and knows that a terrible thing happened on Black Palm Street in the East District last night."

"A serious gas leak has resulted in the street being almost leveled."

"Fortunately, the residents there either went to the circus or went to the tavern, and miraculously there were no casualties."

"But for those who are homeless, next, they will face the cold winter."

"They won't have a house to keep out of the cold, they won't have food, it's going to make them weak, and as a result, they won't be able to do most of the work."

"As a result, a vicious circle will be formed. I can't imagine how many people will die silently this winter."

"How many children will there be who won't even be able to eat black bread?"

The atmosphere in the hall gradually became heavy after Viscount Hill's speech.

"Therefore, I would like to make a small suggestion here."

Viscount Hill said in a deep voice: "I don't know if all the gentlemen and ladies present can donate generously for those poor and homeless people."

"Show a little love for the children who will lack food and clothing?"

"I will donate 2,000 pounds to help the people of Black Palm Street to tide over the difficulties."

Xifa nodded slightly, no matter what the viscount's purpose was, he could indeed help the residents there.

As the instigator of this incident, Xifa originally planned to make donations through various channels to help rebuild Black Palm Street and help the residents there to survive this winter safely.

Now that Viscount Hill made this suggestion, he said smoothly, "I will donate 1,000 pounds."

Xifa could have donated more, but as the host, Viscount Hill only donated 2,000 pounds. He couldn't steal the host's limelight, and even offered a half discount.

He plans to use other names and channels in private to help the residents there.

Driven by Viscount Hill and General Xifa, the guests pledged donations one after another. Some took out cash, some took out check books and pens, and put a sum of money into a donation box that Monica took out. inside.

After the donation was over, Viscount Hill counted the total amount on the spot, and promised to hand over the money to the Evernight Goddess Church tomorrow morning.

Next, the dance continued and continued until late at night.
