Chapter 327 Distinguished Guests
In the eyes of ordinary people, Hong looked like she was being immobilized. As soon as she climbed out of the deep pit, her whole body was frozen on the ground and could not move.
But in Hong's own eyes, she could clearly see that there were several chains on her body that were as deep as the essence of the rules, entangled her tightly!
And each of those basic controls on the rules was far beyond the level of a normal third-level. Although it was not yet at the level of the Chosen One, it was obviously not much different. It was much stronger than her, who once had power and was later deprived of the super-standard third-level!
At this moment, she thought of many things.
Her identity was discovered, and those people really united together and were ready to attack them!
But after seeing the young man who slowly walked into the western-style building, Hong's blood-red eyes showed a touch of astonishment and disbelief.
Of course she knew who the man in front of her was!
On the first day that Levi followed Huck to stay in his house temporarily, Hong secretly observed the young man for three days, until she could not see more things and could not guess Levi's identity and motives, then she instructed the tax officer in the agricultural area to use the power of the Xinlan official to test.
The intention was to get some information about his strength and identity through Levi's response and reaction.
But this was just a test!
Under Hong's instruction, the tax officer indicated that the document signed by the police station to Levi was a summons, not an arrest warrant, which left a lot of room.
But what she never expected was that with such a small action, the other party could actually call a group of masters who didn't know where to come to her directly!
Hong stared at Levi, wanting to look behind him to see who the helpers who followed him were, and whether she could find any acquaintances among them.
However, no matter how her blood-red eyes turned, she could not see the existence of a second person besides Levi.
Levi, who had already walked close to the parrot, also noticed her gaze, and obviously guessed what she was thinking.
"Don't look at it, there's not enough room for so many people."
He said casually, then a smile appeared on his face, and he caught the evil bird, which was as stiff as a stone, in his hand.
"By the way, why isn't Chi Qing with you? We haven't seen each other for so long, but I miss him and you very much."
After hearing these words and Levi saying that name, Hong's eyes shrank into a tiny red dot as if she had seen a ghost!
On the same night, in the same Xinlan, in the Grand Duke's Mansion in the city.
Grand Duke Stuart, who attended three banquets, two charity events, and four meetings on this day, still had no time to rest and relax.
He didn't eat dinner at the normal time. At the level of the Chosen One, even if he didn't eat for ten days or half a month, there would be no problem at all.
But the Grand Duke is actually a person who likes to eat. Almost every meal is at a fixed time, and almost every meal is different.
Today, the reason why he didn't have dinner on time was because a very important guest came to Xinlan. It was so important that although he, as an uncle, didn't have to go to the station to pick him up in person because of the seniority, Grand Duke Stuart still cancelled the original dinner time before the other party came to the Grand Duke's Mansion.
He let his special kitchen wait until the guests arrived, and then he started to set up the restaurant. At this late time, he started to eat this dinner that could almost be a midnight snack.
When the tall and well-proportioned young man with long light golden hair tied into a ponytail behind his back was led into the restaurant by Grand Duke Stuart's eldest son, the Grand Duke couldn't help but smile.
"Sherlock? Should I call you that? Although we have never met before, your father and I are old acquaintances. You look exactly like him. Anyone who has seen him can tell at a glance that you are definitely his son. Is your father okay?"
Faced with such compliments and greetings, Sherlock Green still looked unfazed even though he had returned to Iris and officially started to take over government affairs from his father for a year.
At first glance, he saw the rich variety of delicious food on the table, which was enough to feed more than ten people, and his brows could not help but frown.
But it was obvious that he was still a person who observed etiquette and restrained himself. Facing the greetings of Grand Duke Stuart, he bowed his head and answered.
"Thank you for your concern. My father had some health problems some time ago, but after the Grand Duke of Dunster personally saw him, he has recovered a lot after these days of recuperation."
"That's great. Now is a time of chaos. The East and West regions, as well as the central government, are undergoing changes. Your father is the leader of our west. No matter what, his health cannot be in trouble."
Grand Duke Stuart pointed to the position on his right side.
"Come and sit down. You probably haven't had a good meal after sitting on the train for so many days. I don't have any rules here. You can treat this place as your own home. We can talk about some things while eating."
While speaking, Grand Duke Stuart also looked up at his eldest son who brought Green here. He didn't say anything, but just this look made the young man with the status of a marquis instantly understand. He turned around and left the restaurant, closing the door at the same time.
Green, who was already sitting in his seat, saw this scene.
"Brother, have you eaten yet?"
"He doesn't like this kind of atmosphere. Young people are like this. It's normal to have a generation gap with their elders. And he doesn't have the talent like you. Your father has a good son, and he doesn't need to worry about the successor in the future. But I'm different. The younger generation in my family only knows how to enjoy themselves and never thought about how to continue the glory of the title."
Green certainly made sufficient preparations before coming. He knew very well what the city of Xinlan was like, what kind of people the Stuart family was, and what kind of person the grand duke in front of him was.
The things he did in the academy spread to the Western District. Not only did it not bring a stain to Green, but many grand dukes saw his resistance and contempt for the central power, which made quite a few people admire him and helped him gain fame.
But after a year of training, Green is no longer as aggressive as he was when he was the discipline minister in the academy. He has become more introverted and is more willing to use his eyes, ears, and heart to truly understand the world.
