Chapter 242: Chapter 207: Nine Enemies_2

Vincent Wolf moved between the banquet guests, his gaze scanning the entire venue, searching for his target.

He swiftly locked onto their targets, picked up a tray, and placed several glasses of champagne on it before heading towards them.

That’s right, this time Vincent was acting as a waiter.

He needed to use this opportunity to get close to his opponents.

However, to Vincent’s surprise, before he could even get close to them, they all gathered and walked away together, approaching a seemingly white-haired man who did not appear old at all.

It was evident that the man held a very high status, as Vincent’s targets were extremely attentive to him, making it seem like he was someone of great importance.

At this point, if Vincent continued to approach them, it would appear quite deliberate, so he could only pass by them instead.

As he passed, Vincent faintly heard his targets addressing the man as Earl Lane.

Vincent began to serve non-target guests to complete his role as a waiter perfectly, while secretly paying attention to the so-called “Earl Lane” in his heart.

At this moment, the City Lord began to give a speech at the center of the banquet.

“Ladies and gentlemen!”

The City Lord was a woman who appeared to be in her fifties. Time had left traces of wind and frost on her face, but along with it, the dignity that matched her position.

“Kyoto City is the capital of our country, yet it has been plagued with a disease like the Shadow Demon Domain. Although it is not very harmful, it is still an unsightly stain on our faces, eliciting disgust.”

“Regrettably, the Dark Attribute Demon Beasts prove too cunning and insidious, possessing strong concealment and escape abilities, making it impossible to eradicate them completely.”

“But now the situation has changed. We have invited the powerful Grandmasters, our friends from the Light God Country, and the elites from all fields present here! I firmly believe that as long as we work together, we can completely eradicate this Shadow Demon Domain!”

After the City Lord finished speaking, she raised her glass.

Simultaneously, everyone at the banquet also raised their glasses and drank together.

Vincent’s eves lit uD. and he auicklv walked over to Earl Lane with a class of

wine, refilling the empty glass in his hand with champagne.

Earl Lane was somewhat surprised and asked:

“Weren’t you quite far from me? Why didn’t you pour wine for the others first, instead of pouring it for me?”

“Of course, that’s because your status is the highest, and there’s no reason to pour wine for those with lower status first.”

Earl Lane laughed.

“Those people have quite a big reputation, but I haven’t appeared much in front of the public. Why did you say my status is the highest?”

“Just now, those people were very respectful to you, so it’s easy to see the difference in status at a glance.”

“Young man, you have a keen eye, not bad, not bad. However, people with good eyesight often know too much and can sometimes bring disaster.”

Vincent feigned ignorance.

“What do you mean?”

Someone next to Earl Lane interjected:

“Why are you wasting your breath with a little waiter like him? Tell him to get lost! I was just about to pour wine for you when he took my opportunity. How unlucky!”

The others also chimed in.

Vincent quickly pretended to panic and apologized. He then ran away without looking back.

He didn’t calm down until he reached the backstage of the banquet. “Oh, my goodness! All these people, including Earl Lane, are all hostile!” “I’ve walked right into a hornet’s nest!”

“What on earth is going on? How come so many people are hostile?”

Vincent took a few sneaky glances at the banquet, saw that Earl Lane seemed to have sensed something, got scared, turned his head away, and hid in a blind spot.

“This Earl Lane is no ordinary person. No wonder he has the title of Earl. I don’t know about his actual strength, but I bet he is at least a Grandmaster.”

“I should have finished my reconnaissance by now. There are nine hostile people in total. I’ll investigate their backgrounds when I return.”

Vincent slipped out of the backstage, used Instant Step to avoid surveillance, changed his clothes, and left the hotel where the banquet was held.

After returning to the hotel reserved by Aiden Winter, Vincent entered his room and took out his cell phone, which had two missed calls. One was from Evan, and the other was from Aiden Winter.

Vincent first called Aiden Winter back.

“Grandpa Winter, did you need me for something?”

“Why didn’t you pick up my call?”

“Oh, I didn’t hear it. What do you need?””lt’s nothing, I just got in touch with a grandmaster who has the evolution secret of the Pseudo-Dragon. However, they don’t want money, only an equivalent evolution secret, and they don’t want ordinary ones. So, it’s not easy to handle.”

Upon hearing about the Pseudo-Dragon’s evolution secret, Vincent’s eyes lit up, but as soon as he heard the words “but,” he knew it couldn’t be that simple. As expected, they needed to swap items, and money was useless.

At their level, there were many ways to make quick money, so they didn’t lack it.

Although it was a pity, Vincent didn’t absolutely need that evolution secret, because he still had one more chance to use the Ancient Simulation.

In fact, Vincent wanted to wait a little longer before using the Ancient Simulation. Not for any other reason, but because he hadn’t thought of how to cover up the fact that he stole Lydia Mond’s Ruyi Jingu Bang and wore her armor.

Remembering his experiences today, Vincent changed the topic and asked Aiden Winter:

“Grandpa Winter, do you know an Earl Lane in Kyoto City? And aside from him,

I want to ask about Viscount Lean in the Imperial Villa area, as well as

Commander Serrano from the Black Demon Beast Master Mercenary Corps… ”

He mentioned all nine of the opposing guys he’d met today.

At this, Aiden Winter was at a loss for words. Aiden Winter was stunned.

What was going on with his grandson?

It had only been a day, and he had already listed nine people he was currently investigating.

Moreover, three of these nine people were uncertain whether they were related or not.

And then there was Earl Lane.

Even after Mary Hale and her group’s investigation for half a day, it was only revealed that Earl Lane had a connection with the Shadow Demon Domain, but there was no solid evidence.

It wasn’t until his arrival today that he ultimately confirmed the result.

But his grandson had only been in Kyoto City for one day, not even a full day, so how could he accurately judge this?

He must be defying the heavens!

This is really defying the heavens!

“Hey, hey, Grandpa Winter? Is the signal bad at your end?” Vincent checked his phone. The call hadn’t been disconnected, so why was Aiden Winter silent?

“Um, well, you see…” Aiden Winter didn’t know what to say, “Ahem, Vincent, why are you asking about these nine people?”

“Oh, I was just asking casually when I was bored, it’s no big deal.”

Aiden Winter rolled his eyes.

Just asking casually?

He may be old, but he wasn’t senile!

“Who are you trying to fool? Let me tell you the truth, there are severe issues with the nine people you mentioned. Where are you now?” Aiden Winter’s voice was extremely serious.

“I’m still at the hotel.” Hearing this, Vincent felt a little guilty. Had he been too high-profile?

In hindsight, he should have only asked about Earl Lane.

“That’s good, stay put and don’t wander around. I’ll be back right away.” Aiden Winter hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking.

After blinking, Vincent realized that things might not be as he had imagined.

It seemed that Aiden Winter was clearly on his side.

“Did Grandmaster Winter trick me?”

The more Vincent thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

“I’ve seen many people screwing over their fathers, and I’ve heard of children being screwed over, but this is the first time I’ve seen a grandfather screw over his grandson — and I found out through personal experience.” But since it had already happened, complaining wouldn’t help. He would have to see what Aiden Winter would say to Vincent after he returned.

Seeing that Evan had called him, Vincent gave Evan a call back.

“Hey, Evan, you looking for me?”

“Where are you?” Evan’s voice was a little excited.

“I’m at the hotel.”

“Do you know? I’ve discovered a secret!” Evan spoke mysteriously to Vincent.

“Oh? What secret?” Hearing Evan speak so mysteriously, Vincent couldn’t help but be intrigued.

“That is, I found out that you might have a twin, and they’re working here as a waiter!” Evan said with certainty. leaving no room for argument-
