Chapter 422 Welcome Banquet

That night, Yang Hui and his party of four changed into formal attire and went to the scene to welcome Yang Hui under the arrangement of PLANT.

"Why do I have to attend such a boring banquet?"

Kanad Pars, who had been pulling his collar, had been complaining since he got on the car.

"You are a bodyguard, you have to go out together."

"Tsk, isn't he still here? The hero of the war must be better than me, right?" Kanad Pars was talking about Aslan, who had the same status as him in the team, both of them were bodyguards.

"He is indeed better than you in driving MS, and he is also better than you in gun fighting." Yang Hui said jokingly, Aslan is a top student who graduated from ZAFT Military Academy. He was a red-shirted student upon graduation, which means he is an elite candidate. This elite refers not only to MS driving skills, but also his individual combat capabilities.

Of course, not all red-clothed people are like this. It can only be said that the class of Aslan and his classmates was indeed full of talents. Isaac, Diego, and Nicol are not to be mentioned. There are also Rusty, Miguel and others who were killed. They are all all-round elites. It can only be said that they were not very lucky. There were only five red-clothed people in that class. Miguel ranked sixth, so when he appeared, he was just an ordinary green-clothed person. Then there was Rusty... This one was even more unlucky. He died before he could achieve his goal. He was shot dead when he was trying to snatch the Strike Gundam.

To be honest, Yang Hui felt that the red-clothed people behind him were very watery. Among all the red-clothed people now, Yang Hui felt that the only two people who were good were [Imperium] Shihe Hanifs and Heine Westinflus who admired Isaac.

The others... It can only be said that each class is worse than the previous one, especially the class of Kotori, which was simply unbearable to watch.

"What did you say!?" Although Canad Pars used his inability to compete with Aslan as an excuse, it was just an excuse. He was competitive and didn't think he was worse than anyone else. Now that Yang Hui said that both of them were inferior to Aslan, it would be strange if he could tolerate it.

"Aslan's driving skills are comparable to Kira's, and his individual combat ability is at the level of a soldier king. You can compete with each other when you have time..."

"Duel! Aslan Sara!"

"I refuse, Yang Hui, can you please stop causing trouble for me?" Aslan covered his face in depression. He had no interest in duels or anything like that. His personality liked a peaceful and stable life, which was completely opposite to Canad Pars.

"No! You must duel with me! If I win you, I can challenge Kira Yamato!"

"...I think Kira will refuse."

"Then I will force you to agree!"

"Shut up."

"..."

Seeing that Canard Pars was getting more and more excited, Cruze's hoarse voice sounded, and Canard Pars immediately became obedient. Although he still stared at Aslan with burning eyes, he didn't dare to speak, just like a son who was stared at by an old father, and was afraid that the weapon on his waist would be unsheathed.

Yang Hui stared at Cruze blankly. He couldn't ask directly, but his eyes were asking him: "When did you adopt a son?"

"Ahem...We're here."

"..."

Putting aside the doubts for the time being, the business was important. The car slowly stopped and opened the door. There was a long red carpet on the stairs. There were reporters all around. Seeing Yang Hui and others get off the car, flash lights flashed one after another.

"..." Whether it was Aslan, Canard Pars, Yang Hui, or Cruze, they were wondering if they had gone to the wrong place. They were sure that this was a welcome for Yang Hui by politicians, but an event like a film festival?

"Welcome, Mr. Yang Hui."

"...It's a great honor."

The people who greeted them came and called Yang Hui's name, which meant that they were not in the wrong place, but...

"Dirandal...you are so good!"

"If I don't scare him to death later...I will beat him to death!"

Yang Hui and Cruze both decided silently in their hearts that if they had the chance, they must teach Durandal a profound lesson. The entrance of the top leader of a country turned into a star walking on the red carpet. This is a farce!

But although they were angry in their hearts, they still had to make a friendly expression and wave to the reporters on the surface. After all, it was a friendly visit. If Yang Hui had a bitter and vengeful expression on his face, when the report was published, people would think he was here to seek revenge...cough cough, it was serious, but the international impact was not good.

In order not to be exposed to the flash lights again, the group of people tacitly quickened their pace and walked into the venue quickly. Once they entered the venue, there were no reporters. It was just a high-level banquet. Except for the four guests from Orb, the others were high-ranking officials, wealthy businessmen, and dignitaries of PLANT.

"Welcome, Mr. Yang Hui, Mr. Vidal." Seeing Yang Hui and the other four people coming, Durandal came forward to greet them cordially. Because of his welcome, the others stopped communicating and looked at Yang Hui.

Although they had learned about Yang Hui from various channels such as news and intelligence, many people found it incredible when they saw Yang Hui for the first time. Such a young natural person not only has the best personal combat power in the world, but can also become the highest leader of a country, manage a country in an orderly manner, and quickly develop into one of the world's top powers.

Especially some young ladies who followed their parents to attend the meeting. They thought Yang Hui was so powerful and killed so many people on the battlefield. He must be a terrible person, but they didn't expect him to be so handsome, elegant and gentle, and their eyes couldn't help but shine.

"Sorry for the wait."

"No, you are guests, as the host, you must treat them well."

"Thank you."

After a simple greeting, Durandal took Yang Hui to the center of the party, formally introduced Yang Hui to everyone, and announced the start of the banquet.

As the protagonists of the banquet, Yang Hui and others naturally could not find Durandal for a private conversation immediately. The first thing to deal with was the political, business and military officials who kept looking for him. The senior military officials approached him to try to get some information about the Orb army; the political officials naturally asked about the purpose of Yang Hui's visit; the businessmen hoped to reach some cooperation with Orb.

In response, Yang Hui also showed his attitude, complimenting each other, shirking each other, and not revealing any information. Not a single bit of information was leaked, which made the senior military officials and political officials return in disappointment. As for the cooperation of the businessmen, Yang Hui was naturally willing. As long as it was a fair deal and could bring benefits to Orb, he could accept it. Orb's current resources are indeed sufficient, but it can't just sit back and eat up all the resources, right?

In addition to Yang Hui, Aslan and Canard Pars became the targets of the young ladies, especially Aslan. He was the son of the former speaker. Although he was in decline, he was also from a noble family. Moreover, Aslan was indeed handsome and was also a hero who ended the war. This halo was full of temptation for the young ladies who were not familiar with the world.

Canard Pars had carefully groomed himself today. His originally messy long hair was neatly combed into a single ponytail. He put on a formal dress and looked like a handsome guy. However, whenever someone approached him, he would glare back with his eyes, so he was still quite free.

As for Cruze, who was wearing a mask, because he did not show his true face and always used a concise way of speaking, everyone who went to find him was turned away. He also leaned against the wall alone, watching the various aspects of life at the banquet.

However, there was one person who was not discouraged by Cruze's behavior and took the initiative to find him.

"Sir Vidal, this is a rare opportunity, why don't you take off your mask and enjoy the food and wine?"

"...No need." Cruze saw Durandal handing the wine glass to him, and he turned his mouth and refused directly.

"That's really a pity." Durandal seemed to have given up, but he turned around and put the two glasses of wine in his hands back on the waiter's tray, and then continued to say to Cruze, "It's really strange to say, Sir Vidal, I haven't seen your true face, but it feels like we have known each other for a long time, you say... isn't it strange?"
