Afterwards, Richard entered the underground factory, loaded all the uranium ore raw materials in the warehouse into the Garden of Eden he brought, and then returned to Blue Lake Manor.
In the study room of Blue Lake Manor, Richard calmed down a little, adjusted his state, opened the Garden of Eden, walked in, and began to devote himself wholeheartedly to the research and manufacturing plan of nuclear weapons.
At this time, it was pitch black.
…
The dark sky enveloped Jialan City, but in one location in Jialan City, the lights were transparent and bustling with activity.
This is the residence of Marquis Vian.
In the banquet hall in the mansion, hundreds of candles were lit, and the crystal chandelier hanging from the top was as bright as a small sun, illuminating the entire hall without an inch of darkness, as if the day had come again.
The band hired in the corner is the famous "Roth" band. All members are wearing blue and white uniforms and playing with intoxicated expressions.
Instruments of different shapes, played by the band members, emit extremely soft and harmonious tones, constantly floating in the hall, creating a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere.
In the middle of the hall, there are more than a dozen tables placed with exquisite tableware and sumptuous food: roast goose with fruit, vanilla steak, fried cod, fruit platter...
There were so many people participating that it was deliberately set up like a buffet to meet the different needs of everyone.
Of course, few of the people who came to this banquet really valued the delicious food. Most of them were holding glasses of wine and chatting with the people around them in the hall to achieve their own communication purposes.
Birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. It can be faintly seen that there are several circles in the entire hall.
Among them, Marquis Vian represents the most important circle. The people surrounding and talking to Marquis Vian were all prominent figures in Jialan City, either rich or noble. In just one sentence of conversation, numerous exchanges of interests were completed, which would affect the future situation of Jialan City.
In addition, there is the circle of noble ladies. Although they are just vassals of the nobles, they behave very appropriately at this time and the atmosphere is harmonious. While chatting in a low voice, he looked in the direction of his husband from time to time.
What remains is the circle of noble children.
They are not the protagonists of this banquet, but they cannot be ignored.
Although they do not have enough energy to influence anything now, with the support of their parents, most of them will become the successors of the family in more than ten years.
Therefore, they all strive to behave like their fathers, restrain their stubborn personalities, and talk to the people around them like a true noble.
Among them is Harry, the son of Marquis Vian.
Harry, who was in his teens, was wearing a decent black evening gown and was talking to several acquaintances of his own age.
Several of his peers were his classmates at Ash Academy. They had learned more or less extraordinary knowledge. They were arrogant and looked down upon the children of ordinary nobles.
However, they all maintain a certain respect for Harry. On the one hand, Harry's father, Marquis Vian, has more powerful abilities than he appears. On the other hand, they all knew that in addition to studying at Ash Academy, Harry also studied with another powerful and mysterious wizard.
This wizard is said to be much more powerful than Teacher Vicky from their Ashes Academy.
A girl named Emily, a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl wearing a pink skirt, looked at Harry seriously and asked: "Harry, I heard that at today's dinner, your father - Victoria Mr. Marquis An, you invited your mysterious wizard teacher, right?"
After hearing what the girl said, several peers nearby looked at Harry.
Harry nodded after listening and admitted: "Yes, I heard from my father that he did invite Teacher Richard to attend. But... based on my understanding of the teacher, he doesn't like the excitement very much, so he came here The chances of participating are not very high.”
"What if, I mean just in case." The girl named Emily looked at Harry seriously and asked, "What if your wizard Richard comes, can you introduce him to me?"
"This..." Harry hesitated.
"Please, as long as I see him." Emily begged, looking at Harry with her big eyes.
Harry looked at Emily's appearance, suddenly felt his heartbeat speeding up a little, his throat felt a little dry, and he said, "Okay."
"Thank you, Harry!" Emily smiled happily immediately.
Harry looked at Emily's smile and felt his heart tremble. He could hardly suppress his inner emotions, and his face couldn't help but feel a little hot. Seeing his sister Cathy waving to him in the distance, he quickly said sorry and walked over.
…
Harry walked quickly to his sister Cathy, first took a long breath, then looked at Cathy and asked: "What's the matter, Cathy?"
"Teacher Richard, are you not here?" Cathy asked aloud.
"It seems not." Harry shook his head.
"The banquet is almost halfway through now." Cathy said, with a bit of disappointment, "It seems that there is a high chance that the teacher will not come."
"Yes." Harry somewhat agreed, and then sighed, "I am also planning to introduce Emily to the teacher, but it seems there is no chance."
"Emily?" Cathy raised her eyebrows, looked into the distance with some vigilance, and locked the figure of the girl named Emily. Then she looked back at Harry and asked, "Why did you agree to this for her?" thing?"
"This..." Harry opened his mouth and explained vaguely, "She said it sincerely, and she has always been good to me. His father, Mr. Rom, has a good relationship with our father, so... I agreed. "
"That's weird!" Cathy said after seeing the truth, "You obviously like her."
"I-" Harry opened his mouth again, not knowing how to explain.
At this time Cathy said: "Let me tell you first, although you like her very much, I hate her very much."
"Huh? Why?"
"Because I think she is very hypocritical. The most important thing is that she actually wore the same color skirt as me." Cathy pointed to the pink pleated skirt under her body and said angrily.
"..." Harry was silent for a while, feeling that the reason why girls hate people is really inexplicable.
"In short, you can like others, but you can't like her." Cathy said.
Harry frowned, feeling a little embarrassed, and said angrily: "Why! When you liked someone else, I didn't interfere."
"I like someone else? Who?"
"Mino." Harry pointed at a boy with freckles in the distance.
Cathy glared: "I don't like him."
"But when he expressed his affection for you, you didn't refuse."
"That's me testing him."
"Test what?"
"Let's see if he is sincere."
"Not sincere?"
"Of course I refuse."
"Sincerely?"
"Refuse too."
Harry: "..."
