From the day he killed the man, Garen had been waiting for the man's follow-up actions. In other words, he has been wandering around his home and school all the time. After stepping on the map of the surrounding area, he began to be wary of the appearance of the owner of the pair of red eyes.
Killing the opponent's subordinates, no matter what kind of leader, should not let it go.
drop.
The crisp bell for the end of get out of class suddenly woke up Garen from his distraction.
He sat on his seat, shook his head slightly, and glanced around the classroom.
Some of the students in the class were sitting on their seats and stretching, some got up and started wandering around, and some were yelling and asking for help to buy things for them.
The whole class was noisy when the get out of class was over.
"Going to participate in the competition? Gallen?" Carredo, wearing a tan suit, ran down from the seat in front and sat down on the seat in front of Gallon, squeezing a skinny boy who was sitting there. squeeze. "Sorry, let me squeeze a little bit."
The boy muttered, but didn't say much.
Garen looked at him speechlessly.
"A bow and sword competition, right? I don't have that plan, but my sister is going to participate in the bow competition. Then I will definitely go to cheer. Where are Finn and Czech? What are those two guys doing?"
"I don't know. After class, the two of them acted mysteriously, and they didn't know where they went." Kaledo shrugged. Because of his slovenly appearance and strange attire, everyone didn't like to get in touch with him. Garen, on the other hand, had a cold personality because of his poor family background. Only Caledo, who was carefree and didn't look at other things, could get along with him easily.
So the two are much closer than Finn and Czech. Plus Effie, although it is a small group of five people, there are also differences in closeness and distance.
"Anyway, I only go to watch the archery competition." Garen said indifferently, the current school activities felt a little distant in his eyes, as if they were far away and uninteresting. Perhaps because of killing people, these so-called games are as boring as children's play in his eyes.
Caledo curled his lips, with an expression that knew you would say that.
"It just so happens that you have time. I have something to ask you for help." He looked around, and then pulled Effie, who was on the right, who was immersed in solving problems and studying, over.
"What are you doing? I'm working on a question?"
"You'll know when you come here."
The three got together, and Carledo began to talk about him.
Because his friend came back, he planned to take the two of them to a party.
As his friends and buddies at school, Garen and Effie were sure to invite them to his friend's party. Finn and Czech couldn't go because their girlfriends wanted to participate in Xu Xiao's competition, and there was a time conflict.
"It's all my best friend's party here, and it's actually organized by my most admired elder brother. You must give me this face this time! Just treat it as being with me."
"What do you want us to do with you at the party!?" Effie wondered.
"My family found me an engagement partner. I want you to help me refer to this party." Carledo was a little embarrassed.
"Engaged." Both Effie and Garen were speechless.
"You're only as young as you are, so get engaged." Garen had a strange expression on his face.
"16 years old, you can't get engaged at 16 years old?" Carledo looked confident.
Garen pondered for a moment.
Recently, he has been wanting to ask the old man Ge Guo to show him the book again, but the old man seems to have become extremely stubborn and has not let go. It just so happened that the one-month official student subsidy in the martial arts gym was about to be distributed, and an internal competition was going to be held to determine the internal ranking.
Also beware of the red-eyed owner who came looking for trouble that day, after all, killing the other party alone, it is impossible to show nothing.
"Fortunately, the murderer didn't have any news reports. After the murder case on that street was dealt with by the police, the detectives who came didn't find anything. I have to say that the technology of this era is too backward. If it is the earth, the use of surveillance video can largely detect my suspiciousness."
Garen was grateful but also lamented the chaos of this era.
"Actually, even on Earth, there are many people who kill people and get away with it. The technology here is backward, and there are so many unsolved cases behind the scenes. No wonder the status of a great detective like Tali Mercury is very high."
He wasn't worried that the other party would find his family on his head. The light was so dark that day that he couldn't see his face clearly, and no one knew that he had gone to the martial arts gym at night, and there was hatred on that street. On the basis of not knowing the name and identity, trying to find a passer-by who killed one of his subordinates among the hundreds of thousands of people in Huaishan City is like finding a needle in a haystack. Not to mention that with the investigative capabilities of this era, his family members can still be found.
Thinking of this, he also felt that he should go to relax, and getting together with school friends is also a good choice. Otherwise, before the other party appeared, he would drive himself crazy.
"The competition will start in a few days. Let me tell you first, I only have time for the fencing competition."
"It's just for those few days. Don't worry, you won't be delayed to watch your sister's game." Carledo gave Garen a sympathetic look, with an expression that I understand.
"I'm fine, just call me any time." Effie thought for a while and agreed directly.
"That's good. By the way, Effie, can you lend me a reference for your physics homework?"
"Why didn't you find Garen?"
"His handwriting is too ugly."
"Go to hell! You have the nerve to say that your handwriting is uglier than mine!!" Garen said angrily.
Not only Caledo, but he also often asked Effie to borrow his homework to copy. After all, he is not good at all subjects, especially foreign languages. He learned Montia, which was rampant at the time. This kind of language is twisted and broken, with short and fast-paced pronunciation, and some weird syllables, so it is difficult to remember.
After working hard many times, Garen still could only get about 30 points in the test and gave up completely. After that, I kept asking Effie for 'help'. As the only girl in the small group of five, and a beautiful girl, Effie can be said to be the source of learning motivation among the five, and she is the only one who solves any learning problems.
*******************************
three days later.
At night, Garen and Effie followed Carledo to a hotel in the downtown area of Huaishan.
"It's here." Calledo took the lead and walked in first. Behind him, Gallon was wearing black plain clothes, and Effie was wearing a light red dress.
There is a nameplate above the hotel: Mira Night Star. Below the nameplate are more than a dozen bright yellow electric lamps. Electric lamps in this world are not very common, because of wiring and cost issues, generally only families with a good family background can afford them.
Cars stopped at the rectangular gate from time to time, and guests went up and down, and the flow of people was not very rare.
"My elder brother is a very nice person. I'll introduce him to you when he comes." Calledo looked excited, "He is a strong man who created an industry in Donghai Province with his own strength!"
"Seeing the excitement on your face, people who don't know think you're going to meet your lover." Garen walked behind speechlessly. Effie couldn't help laughing softly.
"Can't you guys say something nice?"
The three of them entered the gate, and a waiter came up to them and asked for their names. Take them up to the second floor and enter a beautiful small hall resplendent with gold and jade.
Walking into the entrance of the small hall, Carledo kept greeting the young men and women inside, and seemed to be quite popular for a while.
"Go around and say hello first. We can do whatever we want." Seeing that Carledo seemed a bit overwhelmed, Effie spoke in a considerate manner.
"Alright, then I'll come back later, you guys have something to drink first, and you can do whatever you want on the table." Just as Carledo finished speaking, he was dragged away by a short-haired boy.
Garen shrugged, looking at the situation in the small hall thoughtfully. Judging from the fact that Carledo became the center of everyone as soon as he entered the door, this guy's background is definitely not as simple as he said.
"Let's just walk around, this place looks pretty nice."
"Um."
At this time, there was a man standing in the corner. He had a fair complexion and a well-proportioned figure. He looked vaguely like a woman. He was dressed in a white slim-fitting suit and looked extravagant and handsome. This person was chatting softly with several boys and girls around him.
"Calliedo, we haven't seen each other for so long, why don't you come over to say hello to us? Who used to follow my ass when I was a child and scream at my brother?" The man saw the three of them coming, and stepped forward to hammer Calledo punched and said with a smile.
Some friends around him also chuckled lightly.
"Brother Weimar, haven't I come? I came as soon as I received your telegram. I didn't dare to delay at all..." Calledo said with a bitter face.
"Okay, stop pretending, I don't know you yet! Let me introduce you." Weimar said to a few friends who walked by, "Viscount Strong's only son, Carredo. The others are old friends. But I still have to introduce the two new friends who came today."
Then he pointed to the blond boy and the girl with yellow eyes who came over.
"William, his father, General William, is very close to Uncle Strong. The other one is Jessie, and her family belongs to Kai Fei International Hotel Group."
When introducing Jesse, he gave Calledo an ambiguous look. The latter immediately understood that Jesse should be the engagement object booked for him by his family.
"Since he is a friend of Brother Weimar, he is also my friend. If you come to Huaishan, you must come to me! If you can help, you must help!" Carredo patted his chest boldly.
William nodded, but said nothing.
"In Huaishan, I will rely more on you to take care of it." Jessie pursed her lips and smiled, winking at Carledo.
"no problem."
"Why don't you introduce your two friends?" Jesse looked at Garen and Effie who were not far away.
"They are all my classmates at school, the boy with purple hair is called." "Okay, everyone, let's have something to eat first. I'll go and greet other friends first, and you guys talk first."
Weimar interrupted him, smiled and picked up a glass of blue wine and walked towards the others.
