It was precisely because she was too calm and unrestrained that no one thought that the person who was setting fire to signal towers outside was among them.
Dowell and his friends were drinking and killing time out of boredom.
He looked around the dance floor and saw only the noble ladies, talking and laughing, with their glasses of wine in their hands reservedly raised, chatting and laughing with each other without showing their teeth.
"It's so boring! When can we leave?" He complained for the Nth time today and wished he could leave right away.
Garcia shook the goblet in his hand, glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Who dares to leave until the Ten Elders say it's over?"
At this time, Brown, who had been called away by his family for a while, returned to them.
"Something happened in Hong Kong."
"?"
"?"
His expression and tone were so serious that one had to take it seriously.
Dowell and Garcia put away their lazy air and became serious.
Dowell stood up straight and said, "What could have happened in Hong Kong? Was there another fight? Or did some scumbags fight over territory and cause a death?"
The island's protected area and outside the protected area are two different worlds.
Dowell and others in the reserve never treated people from outside as the same people as themselves on the island. The indigenous people outside were more like microscopic bonsai they raised.
Ants often quarrel.
But the people who raise them never take the conflicts among ants as a big deal. It is the same here.
As long as there is no quarrel between several big families in Hong Kong City, it is not considered a big deal for them.
Tonight is the welcoming banquet for the ten grandchildren.
Almost all the important figures from the Sixth Continent were present. Even Old Mu asked Mu Di, who had been in solitary confinement for a long time, to come over.
Who would be so blind as to cause trouble tonight
Facing the questioning looks from his friends, Brown shook his head and said, "No. There was an explosion in Victoria Harbor, and all the signal towers and tower lights were blown down. The scene was filled with smoke, and the workers were running around in fear. The guards have gone to the scene to deal with it." "The Ten Elders didn't take any action?" Dowell said immediately.
Brown said: "I don't know about that. I only heard about the port from my family. As for whether the Theron family has taken any action... this is not something you, me and my family can interfere with."
Dowell said no more.
Their family's influence is also in the port city, but unlike the Brown family, the Brown family's industry involves cargo transportation, so it is not surprising that they have news about the port.
The weird thing is who did this
Dowell thought for a moment, raised his head and looked around to make sure no one noticed their little corner, then lowered his voice and asked the two, "Could it be Mr. Mu?"
Brown and Garcia's faces changed. After hesitating for a long time, Garcia said, "Impossible? Mudi is here. It's true that Mu Lao and the Ten Elders have had a private dispute, but the two have not yet made it public. Besides, Mudi is here. Even if Mu Lao wanted to take action, he would not choose this time."
The Ten Elders have no heirs, so the Mu family is left with only one heir.
He hit the point.
Dowell knew that he might be thinking too much, so he sneered and turned his head, just in time to see a short-haired waitress walking past him.
He called out to the other person.
"Wait, give me a brandy."
"OK."
The waitress handed him a glass of wine.
Dowell took it and glanced at the other person casually. Just one glance and he was stunned.
After the other person walked away, he was still staring at his back in a daze.
Garcia elbowed him and looked over: "What are you looking at?"
