Chapter 513: Stealing a Chicken but Losing the Rice

Seeing that Martha Bist was late and appeared in public with a man she didn't know, Cardeas's face became very ugly.

"You are late, Martha." Cardeas glanced at the man Martha Bist was holding and scolded in a deep voice.

"Sorry, brother, I'm going to pick up my male companion. Let me introduce you, Ronan Marcenas, a member of the Federal Parliament."

Cardeas looked at Ronan Marcenas, who was about 30 years old. It was already very outstanding to be a member of the Federal Parliament at this age, but looking at the other's slightly fat body and proud head like a peacock, Cardeas didn't like this person very much.

"Pay attention to your identity, Martha, do you know what this means?" Cardeas asked after looking at the hands of the two people holding each other.

"Of course, my brother." Martha Bist replied with a smile.

After glaring at Martha Bist, Cardeas did not teach her a lesson. After all, the guests were watching. If they quarreled, it would be the face of the Bist family and the dereliction of duty of the head of the family.

Seeing this, Martha Bist and Ronan Mathenas thought that Cardeas had acquiesced, and naturally became more proud. They chatted with the guests around them in a flowery way. Martha Bist even introduced Ronan Mathenas to others in a big way to win over people for him.

Then, in Yang Hui's sight, he saw the next target of Martha Bist and Ronan Mathenas, and his mouth curled up.

"Interesting things are coming."

...

"Mr. Cruze, I didn't expect to see you here."

That's right, Martha Bist's next target is Cruze, who is surrounded by several wealthy businessmen and senior officials.

"I am honored to receive Mr. Cardeas' invitation. There is no reason to refuse, Miss Bister." Cruze replied calmly. The smile on his face and the gentle tone made people feel like spring breeze, but in Martha Bister's eyes, it was mocking.

"Mr. Massenas, long time no see." As all members of parliament, Cruze naturally knew Ronan Massenas, a very capable person. His name was originally on Cruze's list of people to win over, but since he knew that he had contacts with Martha Bister, he was excluded.

If it weren't for Cruze's appearance, Ronan Massenas would be the brightest new star at this time, but now he is suppressed by Cruze everywhere, covering up his brilliance.

"Long time no see, Mr. Cruze." Although Ronan Massenas also maintained a harmless smile on the surface, he was always competing with Cruze in his heart, thinking about how to make him look bad.

First of all, if there was no Cruze, he would be the best young member of the Federal Parliament, and he has always been in competition with Cruze.

Secondly, he knew that Martha Bister had been pursuing Cruze before. As Martha Bister's pursuer, he was able to attend the Bister family banquet with Martha Bister intimately. This was a signal that his status was confirmed. He also wanted to prove that Martha Bister's choice was not wrong, and he was better than Cruze.

"Member Cruze, you..."

"Excuse me, Miss Bister, Congressman Masinas."

Just when Martha Bister wanted to humiliate Cruze in front of everyone, Cruze interrupted her like a prophet, ended the conversation with her, and walked towards the location of Rebil and Gepu with a glass of wine.

Seeing that he was heading towards Gepu and Rebil, everyone else smiled and dispersed. They understood Cruze's behavior as winning over military resources, which was a normal phenomenon.

But in Martha Bister's eyes, it was completely different. He actually ignored her, interrupted her, and left without permission? This was a huge insult!

Martha Bister was about to explode in anger, but she felt a hand patting her hand. She saw that it was Ronan Masainas who was shaking his head at her, and his eyes told her to calm down.

"Huh~" Suppressing the anger and hatred in her heart, Martha Bister put on a smile on her face again, and walked towards Gepu and Rebil with Ronan Masainas.

Rebil was a defeated general, but the people who could attend this banquet were not ordinary people. They knew a lot of things that ordinary people didn't know. They didn't think that Rebil would retire in the federal army.

However, halfway through the walk, Ronan Masainas pulled Martha Bister, and the two stopped and watched Cruze make Gepu and Rebil laugh with just a few words, and their faces became very ugly.

"What should I do?" Martha Bister thought in her heart. She also wanted to win the support of Gepu and Rebil. Although she didn't think her beauty would be useful to these two cunning foxes, it was also good for herself and Ronan Masainas to show their faces in front of them.

Even at the right opportunity, he could stop Cruze from talking to the two of them and cut off his chance to get the line of Gop and Rebil, but now...

The three of them were chatting happily. If he stepped forward to interrupt, it would be rude. It would be embarrassing and cause dissatisfaction from Gop and Rebil, which would not be worth the loss.

But Martha Bist really didn't want to see Cruze so smooth and happy. The happier Cruze was, the angrier she was.

"Hmm?" At this time, Martha Bist saw Aslan and Cong Yunhe standing aside, and the corners of her mouth curled up. She had an idea and walked over.

"This is not the place for you to stay. Get out." Martha Bister walked over and said to the two of them arrogantly. She knew their identities. They were Cruze's bodyguards. They looked handsome, but they were just lowly civilians and were not qualified to enter the banquet.

Aslan and Cong Yunhe looked at Martha Bister and were unmoved.

Martha Bister was furious again. It was fine if she was ignored by Cruze, but two lowly civilians actually ignored her?

"Come on! Get them out..."

"Wait."

At this time, Yang Hui came over with a glass of wine, waved his hand with a smile, and asked the waiters to leave.

"Excuse me, both of you?" Yang Hui asked Aslan and Cong Yunhe.

"Hello, Mr. Hui Bister, I am Aslan Sara, the bodyguard of Senator Cruze."

"Cong Yunhe, ditto."

Both of them pretended not to know Yang Hui and introduced themselves.

"Yeah." Yang Hui nodded, then looked at Martha Bister, "Since they are the guards of Councillor Cruze, shouldn't we ask Mr. Cruze's opinion first?"

"Hmph, they are just Councillor Cruze's bodyguards, not among the guests, and not qualified to enter the main banquet hall. Besides, Councillor Cruze brought his bodyguards to the banquet, so do you really doubt the hospitality of the Bister family?"

When saying this, Martha Bister deliberately raised her voice so that everyone present could hear what she was saying.

Sure enough, the elegant scene was suddenly left with only the sound of music, and everyone looked over here, and Cardeas also came over to understand the situation.

"What's going on?"

"These two are Councillor Cruze's bodyguards. Martha wanted to bypass Councillor Cruze and drive them out of the banquet when she saw them." Yang Hui explained to Cardeas.

"Is that true?" Cardeas looked at Martha Bister with a gloomy face and asked.

"Hmph, are they qualified to attend the banquet?"

"Everyone is a guest. Councillor Cruze explained their situation to me before, and I also allowed them to attend. Are you expelling my guests without authorization?"

"What? You actually let two civilians be equal to us?"

"Martha! Shut up!" Cardeas shouted harshly. The word "civilian" is not just a curse on Aslan and Cong Yunhe. Among the guests present, there are many members of the civilian faction. Don't forget that Rebil is also present.

"Well done." When Yang Hui saw that the faces of the civilian faction members such as Rebil became ugly, the corners of his mouth curled up and gave Cruze a look of praise.

"Good cooperation." Cruze also returned a look to Yang Hui.

"Go back to your room."

"Cardeas! You..."

"Go back!"

"You... Humph!"

Martha Bist was driven away in a rage, and Ronan Masainas, the male companion, naturally couldn't stay and fled. All their plans failed, and they humiliated themselves and lost a lot of things.

Apart from anything else, Martha Bister has been blacklisted by the members of the civilian faction, and even the members of the moderate faction have a much worse opinion of her.

Ronan Masainas, the male companion, was naturally implicated. Because of Martha Bister's impulsiveness, his future path will be countless times more difficult, no, it should be said that it has been blocked, because he is now a member of the moderate faction.

However... there are still gains.

"Go check Martha Bister's information." Jin Collini whispered to his subordinates.

"Understood."

After the annoying people left, Cardeas apologized, and the banquet continued, as if Martha Bister and Ronan Masainas had never appeared.

"I'm sorry, generals, because of my bodyguard, you two saw an unpleasant scene." Cruze apologized to Gepu and Rebil.

"No, Senator Cruze, it's not your fault."

"But it's also because of my bodyguard."

"Okay, Senator Cruze, if you keep being so polite, we can't continue the conversation today."

"Okay, General Rebil, let's continue? Where did we talk just now?"

"We talked about you willing to give me your two bodyguards..."

"General Rebil, I'm just being polite."

"Tsk, so I hate politicians the most!"

"This is not good news for me, General Rebil."

"Hahaha..."

...

Seeing Cruze chatting happily with Rebil and Gepu, Yang Hui nodded. With Cruze's ability, if he can't get in touch with them under the condition of sound intelligence, he is not Cruze.

In this way, Cruze's purpose of attending the banquet today has been completed by 80%. Yang Hui said to Aslan and Cong Yunhe to enjoy the banquet, and then separated from them.

Prepare to continue to find a corner to observe the guests, but...

"What are you doing sneakily? Albert, come here!"
