Chapter 472: Chapter 472 Breakfast
“Sister Jane, you’ve been following me all along, haven’t you?”
It seems that Jane had been waiting in the room all along.
In fact, she had been secretly trailing Han Dong since he left his quarters and started the tour of the manor with the maid.
Jane seemed surprised. After all, she believed she had remained concealed the whole time without revealing any flaws, even the Blood Descendants in the manor did not notice.
“It took me until the end to accidentally notice… It seems you still don’t trust me, Jane.”
“You and that maid were in the secret room for a long time. What did you say in private?”
“Rather than saying what I said, I should say what I did.” Han Dong intentionally revealed a rather shrunken smile.
“Since you’ve been following me all the time, you must have seen the lost knight… What you should be more worried about are these self-fallen guys, right?
Besides, by the time the banquet comes, they will become our enemies.”
“I made a deal with that maid, she has told me detailed information about the “Red banquet”… After breakfast, I will organize everyone to gather in a secluded area and explain about the Red banquet in detail.
This banquet is very important to Brother Lucius.”
Jane did not say more, she retreated a step and hid her body in the shadows.
“Since you have been following me all night without arousing any Blood Descendant’s notice… It shows that Jane’s stealth skills are remarkable, it can also be used in the Scarlet Manor, I have a job I want Jane to do.”
“No…” Jane, who’s already been tricked twice, immediately refused.
“Jane, please hear me out… After all, this matter concerns the whole squad, especially the interests of Captain Lucius.”
Han Dong deliberately brought up Lucius and slowly explained the special task to Jane.
Jane was in deep thought after hearing the plan.
“You’ve worked hard, Jane.”
Now that she’s said that, Han Dong was sure Jane would do it.
As Jane left, Han Dong immediately laid down on the bed, revealing a strange smile.
“I didn’t expect to get information about the ‘Red Banquet’ in advance, the nature of the banquet turned out to be .
Next is to see how Brother Lucius performs, if he shines at the banquet, I can carry out he ‘Land Deed Takeover” plan with a legitimate reason.
As the yellow-robed man said.
If I can get such a ‘movable land deed’, many things will be much simpler in the future.
If there really comes a day when I can’t stay in the Holy City anymore, it will be an important support for me to live outside the city.”
Han Dong never disregarded ‘risks’.
Even with Mr. Black White supporting him, if the real problem goes to council level, it would be really lucky that he as a [mutant] wasn’t directly killed, being sentenced to permanent exile would be inevitable.
Over the years, Han Dong had invested a lot of effort to build up the manor outside the city and develop forces in the manor to prepare for this risk.
“Master, what are you thinking about?” Nicole was leaning on the side of the bed, staring at him with her big eyes.
“Nothing… There may be a big battle in the later stage of this trip to the manor, Nicole, as one of the main members, must perform well.”
“Okay! As long as the Master gives me more essence.”
“Take as much as you want…”
There is no day and night under the Eternal Night State outside the city.
Perhaps because of Han Dong’s special status as a lord who personally attended the Red Banquet, the Count specifically instructed his servants to light all the candles in the mansion during the white period.
Han Dong and his party were also led by the maid to the dining room to have breakfast with the Count.
The dining area was five meters high, and there were more than a hundred candles placed on the cross-shaped chandelier hanging from the top.
The Count, with his spiked eye protection on, was already seated at the head of the table.
“If you have any dissatisfaction with the meal, or if it does not suit your taste, you can have the kitchen redo it at once… Lord Nicholas, did you rest well last night?”
“That’s good, please make sure to attend the important Red Banquet, which is held once every few years, in the best mental state. Alright, everyone, let’s eat.”
Quite a lavish roast meat breakfast.
It was also prepared according to human habits, with the roast meat for Han Dong and others heated to medium well.
There was no blood brew ingredient in the red wine or the roast meat, so it was safe to eat.
Only the Count and Han Dong’s party were in the dining room.
Even the butler, who is also a Mature Body-Demon, just stood on the side directing the servants to time the serving.
“Count, last night I had a maid take me on a tour of the manor. I happened to run into a knight from the Holy City on the way… Why didn’t they come to dine here?”
“They don’t have the privilege to dine with me… did these greedy knights bother you?”
The word ‘greedy’ said by the Scarlet Count and used to describe the knights of the Holy City seemed a bit ironic…
“These knights have good physiques. Although they didn’t bring their invitations when they came to my manor… The hospitable owner of my manor immediately generously gave them the opportunity to attend the Red Banquet.
If they have bothered you, please feel free to tell me.
They are robust, and I already have a destination for the high-quality ingredients for today and tomorrow.
Haha! It’s just a joke, I am a rather compassionate person.”
During the meal, the Count would often burst into manic laughter due to his own jokes.
“Numerous guests invited to the event will arrive today and tomorrow. I will try my best to arrange everyone’s activity time so as not to meet before the banquet, reducing the possibility of unexpected incidents.
At the same time, I also hope that you don’t provoke troubles.
The Red Banquet is very important to me and there must be no mistakes.
Otherwise, I might turn you into blood corpses, bind you to the needle chair, and make you passively participate in the banquet…
Hahaha! It’s just a joke, I can’t do such a cruel thing.
I like to joke around, I hope you don’t mind. Haha!”
And so, the breakfast ended in the Count’s laughter.
As Han Dong was preparing to gather his team to discuss about the Red Banquet.
The tall butler, who looked like a bamboo pole, seemed to have received some news. He reported to the Count in a low voice.
“Hmm…” After the Count nodded, he turned his gaze to Han Dong.
“Lord Nicholas, would you like to accompany me to the mountain top? Just got a report that a bunch of guys with invitations have come to the manor to intentionally cause trouble.
The invitations are marked with the Master’s mark, their actions disregard the Master and touch my bottom line.
Would you like to come and play with me?”
“Alright.” Without hesitation, Han Dong nodded, signaling others to return to their rooms first.
