Congratulations on Your Arrest

  Chapter 258 Dragon and Snake Dance Together, Human Hair Kills! (Four)

  Chiyoda Ward This is the white official residence of the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, which occupies a huge area. The design of the internal atrium is very clever.

   In the middle is an open-air courtyard with a dry landscape style, planted with a cherry tree that looks quite old. When the spring is angry, the evening wind blows through the treetops and blows a cool and warm breath.

  This is convenient for those who work here to look at the scenery and relax when they are bored, and it can also be used as an event venue when holding a banquet.

  At this moment, everyone can find their own place under the eaves of the corridors around the courtyard.

  After entering the courtyard of the Prime Minister, Higashinohara and other waiters began to prepare for today's dinner. He walked tall and straight in the aisle where the buffet and drinks were placed.

  Only when he raised his head occasionally, from the corner of his eyes would Higashinohara see the figures of some parliamentarians and politicians he had seen and never seen on TV, as well as those top celebrities from all walks of life.

  The dinner party will start in about an hour, and the guests who have come to the scene so far are not many, but they are all important figures with extraordinary identities.

  Everyone is dressed in gorgeous clothes and behaves gracefully, and there is no sign of the "panic" of secretly and intensively transferring a large amount of assets overseas these days.

  When these big shots meet acquaintances, they will warmly or feign enthusiasm to greet them, hold hands, and talk about the weather and other innocuous things with great interest.

   If the voice is a little louder, it will cause other people around to look slightly sideways.

   These familiar faces and figures on the Wano Country News, people who know each other and people who don’t know are also looking at each other.

  Weighing the identity of the other party and the family represented behind it, what can be gained from this dinner hosted by the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, and what can I gain from it.

  That's right, businessmen can't afford to be early without profit.

  At present, the assets of many chaebol families have almost been transferred. Although the Prime Minister Higashimori Kawatani called on everyone to face the difficulties together, and said that tonight he will definitely come up with something that can reassure everyone.

  But if they don’t show real benefits, these chaebols are not some stunned college students who will be bet their wealth with you in a few words to "get through the difficulties" with you.

To put it bluntly, in the eyes of the businessmen who were invited to the banquet, this dinner was a feast for re-dividing the commercial "cake" of Wano Kingdom. They only need to weigh whether the "cake" they got is worth their Take a bet.

   As for the rumored mysterious guest at the dinner.

  No one really takes this seriously, offending the country that the adjudication department asked him to evacuate, what good will happen?

  The scene of the Grand Duchy of Shayash in the north disintegrating and dying on the first day of the new year is still in sight.

  The Wano Kingdom may be about to follow in the footsteps of the Grand Duchy of Shayash, and the people living under the rule of heaven and man have long been accustomed to such a fate.

   Hasn’t this been the case for the past thousand years?

  People were looking at each other, but no one paid attention to Higashinohara who was wearing a black waiter uniform in the corner.

  In today's occasion, his identity is no different from that of an insect on the ground in the eyes of a big man. Who cares about such an insignificant little man?

  Higashi Nohara is also happy.

  Although he was going to come in disguised as a waiter, thanks to his experience as a "working emperor", he is no stranger to the things that need to be done at the banquet, and he is even quite skilled in his hands and feet.

  Even the executives of White Eagle Company looked at him appreciatively—this guy is not bad, he seems to be called Sakata Chen, and he can sign a long-term contract after going back.

   Higashinohara did not expect that he would let the supervisor of White Eagle Company move his mind of "cherishing talents".

  After dealing with the work in the area I was in charge of here, I saw the supervisor turned his back and went to the sidelines first.

With a slight movement in his heart, he picked up the tray with two bottles of wine, shuttled around the dinner party in the eyes of everyone, observed and analyzed the nearby terrain, and built a three-dimensional memory palace in his mind, which was the prime minister's official residence. The building layout and entrance and exit personnel guarded the mind a little bit more perfect and clear.

Higashino originally noticed that many media reporters came to today's dinner party. Among them, the three major industry giants of New Tokyo, Asahi TV, Fuji TV, and NHK, all had commissioners who came to the scene, fiddling with and debugging those TVs in the corner. Live tv camera.

  He was a little worried about being photographed at first, but soon found that his worries seemed unnecessary.

  The cameras of these people are fixed on the big figures who have attracted much attention tonight like follow-up lights from the beginning to the end. Who would waste extra shots for a small shrimp like him?

   Shaking his head, Higashinohara was relieved.

"Hello."

  Suddenly, a man with an extremely cold and hard face walked behind him quietly before Higashinohara noticed it.

This guy

  Higashi Nohara's complexion changed slightly.

He has now passed the threshold of the seventh step, and has comprehended his own domain [Phantom Cherry Killing Dazzling]. Few people can get so close to him quietly.

  At this time, Higashinohara, who was approached by the opponent, should be nervous.

  If the opponent wanted to sneak attack him, maybe he would have fallen to the ground under this "normal state".

  But Higashinohara did not show any tension after all.

   An ordinary waiter, suddenly there is another person behind him, at most it is surprising.

  So when Higashinohara turned around, there was just the right amount of "surprise" on his face.

  Just looking at the cheek of the man in front of him, Higashinohara had a vague feeling of deja vu in his mind, as if he had seen a somewhat similar face somewhere.

   Behind the man was a middle-aged man with a gentle face, who nodded and smiled at him friendly.

  Although the man with the cold face was very polite and didn't have the feeling of a big man bossing around his servants, his tone revealed a cold breath of ice scum.

   "Can I have a drink?"

   The man asked like this.

   "Ah, of course."

   Higashinohara skillfully took down the wine bottle from the tray, and the very expensive amber liquor quickly filled the glass goblet.

  The expression of the middle-aged man behind him changed slightly when he saw this, he glanced at the glass filled with amber liquor, and sighed softly.

   Higashinohara looked away strangely.

  The man with a cold face has already picked up the goblet filled with wine, looking at the night sky outside.

   I don’t know if it’s an illusion,

  Higashi Nohara seemed to see a kind of sentimentality and nostalgia from the face of this indifferent man.

   "Respect our agreement."

  Suddenly, the man held the wine glass, facing the empty night sky in the atrium, raised his head and drank it with difficulty.

  The next second, Higashinohara knew why the middle-aged man behind the man had that expression. The cold man in front of him really didn't hold a lot of alcohol. As soon as he drank a glass of wine, the lower part of his neck quickly turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

   "Can I have another drink?"

  The man put the empty cup back on Higashinohara's tray, and his face was like a blush of cherry blossom petals in the courtyard.

  It turns out that no matter how cold a man is, his face will blush after drinking

   Seeing this, Higashinohara was thoughtful, and gave a four-word summary in his heart, saying that people are addicted to vegetables.

  The middle-aged man behind saw this, but quickly stepped forward, blocked and said, "You can't drink any more."

  The man turned his head and glanced at him, but the latter could only smile wryly and bow his head back.

   Higashinohara will naturally not stop him.

  For anyone who appears on this occasion tonight, his identity is nothing but obedience.

   Another glass of wine was filled.

  The man with a slightly flushed face picked up the cup again, and said with a little drunkenness:

   "The Land of Respect and Harmony."

  He raised his head, and the man drank it down again, a crimson flame seemed to ignite on his neck, which made the man's cold and hard cheeks come alive at first glance.

  The man glanced at Higashinohara's young face, and then at the surrounding elites from all walks of life who were gathering together to chat with each other before the dinner party.

  He shook his head suddenly, and said to Higashinohara slightly drunk, "Do you know what kind of banquet this is?"

   "Uh, is the guest talking to me?" Higashinohara was surprised.

   "Yes." The man nodded.

   "I heard that the banquet held by the Prime Minister has brought many big figures on TV." Higashinohara tried his best to pretend to be uncontrollable excitement.

   "No, this is a... cannibalistic banquet."

  The man's tone suddenly turned cold, "Look here, look there, look at the excited expressions and eager gestures on those people's faces.

   It's really annoying. "

  A look of "ignorance" suddenly appeared on Higashinohara's face.

  The man glanced at Higashinohara, and suddenly changed the subject, "Speaking of which, you seemed to be aware of my arrival just now, so you must be a capable person, right?"

   Higashinohara suddenly felt a slight movement in his heart, but the expression on his face remained unchanged.

  He believes that he has not shown any signs, and he is not panicking at the moment. Even if the other party recognizes him as a capable person through some way that he has not noticed, it is definitely not a test of his identity.

as predicted.

  The man lowered his eyes slightly, and said in a low tone, "The ability users who appear in the human race are all lucky people who are favored by the heavens. They should be the revolutionaries of this era."

   Having said that, the man turned his gaze again, and glanced at Higashinohara's exquisitely tailored dinner waiter's uniform tonight, with an unconcealable disappointment flashing in his eyes.

   Higashinohara did not explain anything,

   Just silent.

  The man didn't say anything more after reading it. Everyone has their own choice.

  He is usually a taciturn person, but because he received a murder case at the door of a certain shelter and a photo of a headless corpse before leaving this afternoon, his worst guess came true, so he inevitably lost his composure.

  So before the start of this grand dinner, the man allowed himself, who had a very poor capacity for drinking since he was a child, to indulge once.

  At this time, through unknown means, the blush on his cheeks and neck disappeared quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his face quickly returned to a cold and hard look.

   "One thing, if you do it, someone will die, if you don't do it, the dead person can't rest in peace, so should you still do it?"

  When the man spoke, his gaze did not fall on Higashinohara, as if he was talking to himself.

   Higashinohara glanced at the man.

   The first time he took the initiative to speak:

   "Mr. Someone once told me that people will always die, so when you are alive, do the right thing."

   "The right thing to do?"

  The man was slightly taken aback, glanced at Higashinohara, said nothing more, put down his glass and turned to leave.

  The middle-aged man beside him nodded politely at Higashinohara, and then left.

   Higashinohara looked at the man's back, frowned slightly, and finally remembered why he felt familiar.

  At the beginning of the year, on the Emperor's birthday, the handsome man named Fuma Ryukyu from the Ye Fury Revolutionary Army pretended to be him in the White Jade Square in front of the Imperial Palace.

   It seems that the appearance of the man with the cold face just now is very similar in some respects.

   Is there any relationship between the two?

   This idea just flashed through Higashinohara's mind.

   At this time, the air in the courtyard of the mansion suddenly experienced some subtle changes.

  All the people chatting and laughing with wine glasses in the courtyard stopped talking, and in the silence, countless eyes turned towards the main entrance of the mansion.

  I saw a man with a tough and resolute face and a tall and straight figure, walking leisurely into the courtyard surrounded by several black-clothed guards in the guard room.

   As if it was a signal, the TV station staff behind several boring overhead cameras around the corner of the courtyard cheered up one after another!

  Because the protagonist of this feast at the official residence tonight is "Our Prime Minister" Higashimori with the highest popular support in the history of Wano Country.

   finally appeared.
