Chapter 107 Banquet
Saturday, August 8th.
8:05 pm.
Aaron rode in a carriage and stopped in front of a luxuriously decorated building with a large garden and a dolphin fountain in the middle.
"Welcome, my friend!"
The owner of the villa, the director of the company, William Mark, was dressed in a black formal suit, and the three-piece suit of shirt, vest, and trousers were all ironed neatly.
He is tall and slightly fat, but his facial features are soft, and he wears single-sided glasses, giving people a sense of shrewdness with a simple and honest contradiction.
At this time, seeing Aaron getting off the carriage, he could not help but take a few steps forward and shook hands with Aaron with a smile.
"Hello!"
Aaron smiled lightly and handed a bottle of champagne.
If you don't know what gift to bring when visiting your door for the first time, there's nothing wrong with giving a bottle of good wine.
"Come on, our traveler, you have to tell us about your travel experience tonight..."
William Mark led Aaron into the banquet hall, and the high gas lamps shone through the glass, leaving all kinds of bright and clean brilliance.
The music is melodious, and the buffet table is filled with oysters, lobster, veal, fried chicken, lamb stew with peas, salad, soufflé, and wine and champagne...
Aaron picked up a goblet, and couldn't help but recall the scene he saw when he was wearing a work uniform and wandering around the lower block.
Ordinary workers are pale, like walking dead... There are long queues outside the workhouse... Every day there are dead bodies... In the bridge hole, there are homeless people covered with newspapers and scrap cardboard...
At the same time, in the rhythmic music, the first dance of the banquet started.
As the master, William Mark took his wife's hand and took the lead in leading the dance floor.
Her wife wore an intricate dance dress and a necklace of rubies, sapphires, diamonds and emeralds on her chest that gleamed in the light.
The ladies and gentlemen are ruddy, gorgeously dressed, dancing gracefully... Desires are subtly fermented and entangled in the air.
And a few streets away, there may be a little girl who died of starvation because the matches could not be sold...
'A deformed world...'
'Perhaps because of the mysterious existence, this deformity is further deepened. ’
Aaron muttered to himself.
In the world at this time, knowledge can not be converted into money, influence, and then bring power, but can directly obtain power!
The result is that the older aristocrats and noble families are, the more likely they are to inherit the 'mystery', possess several strange but powerful 'ancestral relics' and many Beyonders, even if His Majesty the King wants to move such aristocrats, he must also Think about the pros and cons.
A class with so many interests will inevitably lock down the method for the lower class to gain power in order to consolidate its position.
This can be seen from the investigation bureau's frantic persecution and suppression of wild Beyonders... Although some evil believers are indeed not worthy of sympathy.
The class has been solidified to the extreme, and the general public at the bottom has only eternal despair.
Aaron sipped the champagne slowly, not seeming to be in a hurry at all, much less caring if there was a dance.
In the ladies' area, there are already quite a few young ladies pointing and talking in a low voice.
However, compared with those who can use a hand fan to type a set of social passwords comparable to passwords, can estimate all the net worth of their companions with a glance every time they meet, and speak the most affectionate words, they are secretly jealous, Every banquet is like those real noble ladies who have been killed from the battlefield without gunpowder smoke, and the rank is still more than a little worse.
"Haha, Aaron...shyness is not what a gentleman should have."
After the dance, William Mark came to Aaron and said with a smile.
It is also the responsibility of the host of the banquet not to neglect every guest.
"No no... I just can't choose for a while, each of them is so charming..."
Aaron replied with a chuckle.
"Then I recommend Miss Liliat Dolan in the green dress... her father was a bank manager."
William Mark whispered to a beautiful lady who was sitting in her seat, waiting for her male partner to invite her to dance.
She has long flaxen hair, a small and delicate figure, wearing a pair of delicate glasses, and she looks very bookish.
At banquets, women can't take the initiative to invite men to dance, which is a kind of restraint.
"Thank you for your recommendation."
Aaron had nothing to do. He walked up to the lady who was looking around boredly, bent his back, and stretched out his hand: "This beautiful lady, I wonder if I have the honor to invite you to a dance?"
"sure!"
Miss Liliat Doran, who was wearing glasses and a delicate face, held out her hand gracefully, and the two entered the dance floor together.
"I thought...you might have a better choice..."
The two were very close to each other on the dance floor, Miss Doron's voice could be heard in Aaron's ear, and the tip of his nose could smell the perfume on each other's hair.
"Why do you say that?"
He asked casually.
"You're good looking, and you're a rich man. You're the target of many ladies... And my father is just a bank manager. The reason why I received Mrs. Mark's invitation was just to be a 'margin' for the banquet..."
Miss Doron chuckled and replied, "You know, at every banquet there are always one or two unlucky people who can't please the lady, but the master can't ignore them..."
"So it is."
Aaron nodded indiscriminately, understanding that the other party's family might be considered good in the middle class, but in this kind of banquet, it could only be considered the bottom.
Poor Miss Doren, she couldn't refuse an invitation from any man.
"But you don't seem to feel wronged..."
His eyes swept over Liliat Doren's glasses, and his intuition was a little wrong.
"Of course... no one can dominate my marriage." Liliat Doren announced firmly: "By the way, you have beautiful eyes like jewels and dance well, our Mr. Traveler. , where have you been?"
"Many, such as Pulmouth, Yellow Falls Grand Canyon, Bone Plateau..."
Aaron casually confided the contents of a travel magazine.
After the song ended, he sent Liliat Doron back to her original seat, and was about to leave when he suddenly reached out his hand and flicked Liliat's ear: "Your earrings are about to fall off. now..."
Liliat Doron hurriedly covered her ears and said, "Thank you!"
"No thanks, serving a lady is a gentleman's duty."
Aaron chuckled and returned to his position, rubbing his right thumb and index finger.
Just now, he just made an excuse and touched Liliat's glasses.
Then, the identification of the physical properties of the Shining One immediately made him recognize that it was an extraordinary item!
