Chapter 206 Storm of Destruction: An Interlude at the Banquet
It’s interesting to say that although she is one of the most famous socialites in Comoros, Malles actually dislikes banquets and similar activities. The reason is very simple. Apart from boring food and watery drinks, it is boring. , chatting in a hypocritical manner.
Nowadays, the new order of Comoros consists of three components, and tonight the dignitaries of these three components are here. The banquet hall is full of people, and many big shots gather here.
They were holding wine glasses and chatting with each other, or chatting at the long table filled with fine food, but even more people were whispering secretly in the corner.
Although Malus dislikes the environment here, after all, this is an important part of the political life of Comoros. Every banquet is a grand gathering of conspiracy. Various intelligence and careerists trade with each other here, allowing everyone to Next, you can have better capital in your daily life in Comoros.
So yes, Malus is still wearing a fake smile, wearing bold and gorgeous clothes from her wardrobe, and he is chatting with Archon Gabor Vanderheiden at the moment, at least trying to tolerate this frivolous guy. .
"I heard that you recently came back from plundering the subspace. You are brave enough to plunder the subspace." Gabo stood at the dining table with his arms folded and said with a smile. Malus responded with a smile and tried his best to Ignore this lecherous idiot who keeps staring at her breasts, staring at the deep groove between her breasts.
Malus smiled and raised her wine glass slightly, "How dare you? Archon Gabo has had a good harvest recently. I heard that you disrupted the peace talks between humans and the Tau, causing the two sides to resume war in the Gulf of Damocles. You I also took the opportunity to plunder several planets.”
"Hahaha, indeed, the harvest this time is quite good. Although the so-called "high technology" of the Tau people is just junk in my opinion, at least they captured a lot of slaves. Are you interested? I can give it to you for free. A few good male favorites.”
Gabo laughed, while Malus suppressed his frivolity and offense. Obviously this idiot regarded herself as that kind of frivolous woman, but she had to tolerate this idiot now, at least not to kill him now.
"No, thank you to the consul for your concern. I think we should do it." Before Malus could finish changing the subject, a gunshot rang out in the banquet hall. In an instant, everyone looked towards the door. Malus Immediately he saw Victor holding a pistol.
She was not surprised by Victor's "dazzling appearance". After all, it was more exaggerated last time, and she focused more on the women around Victor.
"Vito?" Malus whispered in surprise, and Gabo frowned as he looked at Victor, "It seems that the king got mixed up with the recently popular female gladiator."
Mallus took a sip of wine, then put down her glass and walked up. She passed through the guys who immediately gathered around to flatter Victor. Malleus pulled away these flatterers and walked in front of Victor, who immediately paid attention. Got to her.
"Males! My dear friend, I'm glad you're here too." Victor said, ignoring the flatterers. Mallus smiled and nodded to Victor, "It seems you are in a good mood tonight. Very good, Your Majesty.”
"Hahaha, of course it's good. You gave me two great gifts. The first one is an ancient sacred object of the Necron. I have already put that thing in the collection room, and the other one is right next to me. "Here." Victor said, hugging Vito's shoulders with a bright smile on his face.
"I think you already know our mutual friend, Miss Melissa. After all, you met her first, in your mansion." Victor said with a smile, and Malus's smile froze for an extremely brief moment. It took a moment, but it quickly returned to normal.
"Indeed, I invited Miss Melissa and her sister to be our guests, and we had a pleasant chat." "Indeed, indeed, Miss Melissa also interested me very much. My thanks for choosing the clothes for her. Very Beautiful, your aesthetics have always been outstanding, Malus.” “Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty.”
Malus said and glanced at the sword on Vito's waist, looking slightly surprised, "You gave Miss Melissa a gift?" "Ah, of course, after all, she is Vito's woman, so I won't give it to you." It would be too rude to click inside. Considering that she will participate in the gladiatorial battle next week, I decided to give her a handy weapon. "
Victor smiled and looked at Vito beside him, "Miss Efrenie, she also went to Mrs. Malus's little party, didn't she? You have met her, right? Our young and beautiful female gladiator ”
"Are you planning to participate in next week's Brawl with her? It will be great if that happens." Victor said with a smile. Malus glanced at Vito, who still maintained a calm and charming smile. He nodded in response to a young nobleman in the distance, and then looked at Victor.
"No, I will only fight for myself." "Ah, that's a pity. I thought Mrs. Malus would invite you. Where is your sister? Will she participate? I found that she seems to be missing."
Victor was indeed aware of Lily's disappearance. It must be said that his observation skills were good. Lilith had always kept a low profile, which was very successful. When she suddenly disappeared, no one noticed the silver-haired girl who was blocked by Vito's brilliance, but Apparently, Victor noticed.
Vito smiled and took Victor's arm, "She went to prepare a little surprise. You will like it."
"Aha, then I will be looking forward to it, including the big brawl next week, right? Ms. Malus, there will be surprises, right?" Victor smiled and looked at Malus, who also smiled and nodded, "I hope so, Lord."
"Lord! And your beautiful female companion." Gabo came up and laughed and stretched out his hand. Victor also smiled and shook his hand, "Gabo, my Lord Archon, let me congratulate you on your successful plundering journey."
"And congratulations on getting such a beautiful girl. How about we have a drink?" Gabo said unabashedly. Vito looked at him and raised his eyebrows, surprised that he was so direct, but this is indeed a strategy, a way to go against the grain in the riddles of the Eldar.
"Of course, we have to have a drink to celebrate. I just happen to have a lot of new gains." Victor said with a smile, and Gabo turned around and took two high-foot glasses from the tray in the hands of a waiter who came to greet him. He smiled and handed one of the glasses to Victor.
"May your rule be long and peaceful, my Lord, long live you." Gabor said as he prepared to drink from the other goblet in his hand, while Victor looked at the amber wine in his hand and smiled, raised his head with a meaningful smile, "I heard that there is a ritual in human culture where the two toasting parties exchange each other's wine and drink it to show respect and trust for each other, right? Miss Melissa."
"Yes, there is such a ritual." Vito shrugged and said, then Victor smiled and handed the wine glass to Gabor, and grabbed the wine glass in his hand with his other hand. Gabor was a little flustered, but still maintained basic calmness.
"My Lord, why should we follow the customs of those monkeys? We are noble beings." Gabor said, and Victor smiled slightly, "I think this will be an interesting experience. Besides, don't you respect and trust me? Archon."
Victor's words attracted the attention of the VIPs around him. They all looked at Gabor and talked. Gabor looked at Victor who was smiling and handed over the wine glass in front of him and had no choice but to take the wine glass. He couldn't choose to insult Victor, which was tantamount to seeking death on the spot.
They exchanged wine glasses, and Victor smiled and took a big sip from Gabor's wine glass happily, "Delicious wine, really good, I should prepare some at home, it's your turn, my dear friend."
Victor said with a smile, one hand slightly touching the belt, which seemed to be a very careless action, but it touched the butt of the gun very well.
Gabo didn't have a gun. Bringing a gun to a banquet was a privilege only for Victor and his closest people. Gabo looked at Victor staring at the wine in his hand. Victor smiled at him and said, "Please, my dear friend, what's there to hesitate about? It's just wine, isn't it?"
Gabo noticed that Vito had quietly drawn his sword. He swallowed a long gulp and raised the wine glass to his mouth. Victor looked at him and smiled at the wine glass that was gradually approaching his lips.
But suddenly Gabo suddenly splashed the wine at Victor, who immediately dodged the splashed wine. The Nurgle plague venom in it splashed on the face of an unlucky guy. He screamed and covered his rapidly rotting face and collapsed to the ground.
Vito quickly drew his sword and cut off Gabo's arm with one sword. He retreated with a low curse, and then his head was blown up by the raised exquisite pistol. The broken brain debris was scattered around like a broken watermelon.
The crowd around screamed for a while. Looking at Gabo who fell to the ground and Victor holding the gun, the Dark Lord smiled and lowered the gun, "Dear Melissa, do you know what my favorite time is?"
"When these conspirators are exposed and angry." Victor said with a smile, turning the pistol in his hand, and then he took out the key of the luxury floating car from his arms and handed it to Vito who was holding the sword.
"I'm sorry to let you accompany me to deal with this troublesome matter tonight. This is a little thought. I think you should want to leave, right?" Victor said with a smile, and Vito shrugged, put away the sword, took Victor's key, and then walked towards the door of the banquet without saying a word.
No one stopped him, and everyone made way for him. Victor and Malus looked at Vito who was leaving with different expressions. Malus looked at Victor cautiously, wondering if he also noticed his plan. Suddenly, Victor turned his head and looked at her and smiled without warning.
"Uryen, make sure this idiot won't come back to life. You decide the price and tell me later." Victor put his gun back into the holster, then took a glass of wine from the waiter and looked in the direction of Uryen.
"Don't let this little episode ruin your mood. Find someone to get Gabor away and let's continue our happy time." Victor laughed and walked into the depths of the banquet hall, leaving Malus standing beside Gabor's body, looking at him.
"You look like a dead man, which really suits you." She said with a smile after a moment.
