Mystery: Paradox Path

Looking at the sharp and arrogant eyes of the girl in the sky blue dress, the corners of Snow's mouth rose slightly, and in the shadows under his feet, an eye with a dial-like iris opened and then closed quietly.

At the same time, Snow himself responded very plainly:

"Good evening, Miss Hazel, your way of speaking is very rude, it will not only affect the reputation of the Macht family, but also indirectly affect the work of Ms. Wahana (Note: Hazel's etiquette teacher) ."

Listening to Snow's unceremonious sarcasm, Hazel's eyes flickered slightly, but she still took on the attitude of a wicked lady:

"No matter why my father invited a guy like you to the banquet, you'd better stay away from my mother!"

"..." Snow didn't expect this eldest lady's malice to come from here, and he didn't even know how to continue the topic for a while, but his predecessor was a social terrorist. Shanshou said, "Miss Hazel, you may have some misunderstandings about my profession, I will only give some spiritual comfort when customers need it, you can think of this as a kind of psychiatrist, compared to this kind of thing , I think it's better for you to worry about your mental state."

After speaking, Snow gently rubbed Lily, who was staring at Hazel with "fierce" eyes, and walked around before the dance with Irian, who was trying hard to hold back her smile.

Only about two minutes later, a familiar figure appeared in the field of vision, and as the eyes of the two met, Snow clearly noticed the wavering in the other's eyes.

No doubt, this is the audience ptsd committed again.

"Good evening, Mr. Kidd, I didn't expect to meet you here." Snow took the initiative to say hello, and Klein, who was wearing the appearance of a middle-aged man, smiled back when he saw this.

Congressman Macht, who brought Klein in, was slightly surprised, but he still smiled and said, "Do you know each other?"

"Yes, Mr. Kidd and my father are good friends. Although he seldom sees each other after he goes out to do business, he has always been in contact with him by letter. I also learned that he returned to Backlund two days ago."

Snow showed a flat smile, and Senator Macht reacted immediately. Kid Robin's return to Backlund this time was planning to find a way to integrate into the upper class, so Snow, from the Queen's Ball to the Viscount Salon, can do whatever he wants. The guy who goes in and out is indeed a suitable guide. Although this may have some influence on the reputation, in fact, most of the upper-class social circles would rather accept ordinary people with some flaws than a perfect person.

Senator Macht exchanged a few words with Klein at will, and then went to the other guests to avoid them feeling left out. Klein also took this opportunity to come to Snow and asked in a low voice:

"Is there something wrong with Macht's daughter?"

Snow motioned to Illian to get him a glass of red wine, and then asked back, "Why do you ask that?"

"Because she seems to be a Beyonder, and it seems to be related to the Thief pathway." Klein didn't mean to hide it, because he still has a fresh memory of the diary page of the mistakenly fucked Amon.

Looking at Klein's strange expression, Snow said suddenly:

"Are you worried about Amon...don't worry about that, she's a running single."

"That's good." Klein nodded lightly, separated from Snow, and began to greet the other guests. After all, this is someone else's dance party. If you want to talk, you can have a better time.

...

After a few minutes, the dance officially began,

After finding a familiar lady at random after the first dance, Snow stood in the corner with a glass of champagne and waited. Sure enough, after about two minutes, Senator Macht walked with a handsome man with brilliant blonde hair. come over.

"This one should be the righteous master, but the blond hair... it shouldn't be the royal family..." Snow immediately caught his eye and gave Irian a look. Illian immediately pretended to be going to get food and lifted his feet to leave. The timing was extremely precise. Precisely, when he walked out of the social area, Senator Macht and the blond man also happened to walk into this area.

"Hibbert, this is Mr. Snow von Penredax, Snow, this is Mr. Hibbert Hall, he is the eldest son of the Earl of East Chester." MP Macht briefly introduced After a while, he walked away quickly. Snow heard the other party's surname, and only then did he realize why the bottle of wine produced in East Chester County caused a change in Macht's mood, but he still kept a smile and said:

"Hello, Mr. Hibbert, what can I do for you?"

There was no anger or indifference in Hibbert Hall's eyes, nor did he have any emotions such as killing intent. He was just a calm observer of Snow, and then said very euphemistically:

"My sister likes Mr. Snow's novels."

"It's my honor to be loved by the most shining gem in Backlund." Snow's smile was gentle and attractive, but the words with a pun made Hibbert's eyes twitch.

He suppressed his emotions, took a deep breath, and said clearly:

"As a brother, I hope you don't hurt my sister."

"No one will hurt a lovely angel." Snow said meaningfully, and then asked in a somewhat puzzled tone:

"With all due respect, with the strength of the Hall family, I thought your wording would have been a more severe warning."

"Do you think I don't want to?" The corners of Hilbert's eyes twitched slightly, and his heart burst into flames. Before coming to Backlund, he also asked his father that. After all, a small veterinarian, he thought It should not be difficult for others to evaporate, and his customers would not offend the Hall family for such a plaything.

But his father pulled out something that shocked him.

This veterinarian, who was just a plaything in the eyes of the upper class, actually secretly controlled Enthusiasm, the behemoth that had already controlled the East District, the Factory District, and the Dock District, and began to spread to the Backlund Bridge District and the Chorwood District.

What shocked him even more was that this seemingly black gang, in fact, had integrated with the entire Backlund, and actually received His Majesty's approval and even support.

He even doubted whether this ancestor was a veterinarian from a noble family, and whether he was a direct spy under His Majesty. The so-called communication was just gathering intelligence in a more private way.

The cultivation and rationality of being the eldest son of a noble finally suppressed his anger. Hilbert looked at the handsome young man in front of him with complicated eyes, took a deep breath, and said the standard answer in a somewhat helpless tone:

"My sister is just an adult, and using violent means can easily cause her rebellious psychology."
