Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 943: Official Banquet

Earlier, in order to squeeze out a few particularly important people, Wyft had even resorted to assassination methods. Yodi knew a little, and knew that this young woman who was accompanying him was actually a killer. She was the target of those assassinations. Seeing her docile expression, she thought that she was a harmless sheep, but who knew what kind of ferocious thing was draped under the sheepskin?

Yodi didn't want to uncover the sheepskin. He humbly lowered his head and only replied to Wyft, but he didn't dare to look at the woman. In fact, the woman deliberately rubbed her thigh against Yodi by using the cover of the angle, and she was even more afraid of teasing him so obviously. The woman finally chuckled and let go of this boring businessman. Seeing Bankin again, Wyft waved to the sheriff, and the woman whispered "trash" in Yodi's ear.

You Di dared not say anything, but only smiled bitterly in the end.

Ban Jin walked over with an angry expression.

'"What's wrong, old friend? You must be happy tonight. Why do you have a bitter face?" Wyft squinted his eyes and smiled.

Ban Jin stopped a waiter who walked past him. He drank three cups of wine and spat out a breath of wine, "That lord is so mighty that he chopped off the flag of the city guard barracks. Our chief was even beaten to the point of vomiting blood. I'm afraid he won't be able to recover in ten and a half days."

This was naturally the news he had received afterwards.

A look of surprise flashed across Wyft's face, and he revealed a look of deep thought. Finally, he said with relief, "That Lord is warning us."

Bankin looked at the old man in confusion.

'"Judging from what this lord is doing, he should be selling our accounts. Otherwise, what we are waiting for tonight is not a dinner party, but the lord's private soldier. Obviously, he wanted to show his might for us, so he had someone smash the barracks. This lord is young, but his methods are old and spicy. I'll give you a stick before giving you a piece of candy. Interesting."

Ban Jin didn't find it interesting. After such a disturbance, the city defense team definitely needed him to spend a lot of effort to calm down.

At this moment, a soft cry sounded from the venue. Ban Jin raised his head and saw that it was the lord who had arrived.

Wyft picked up a glass of wine and smiled at Bankin and Yodi. "Let's go. It's time to curry favor with that lord."

Alan was the first to enter the venue. On his right was Baron Oz, and on his left was Laura, who had just returned from the barracks and was full of killing intent. However, Laura did not carry a sword, but when her wild eyes stared at her, the men who were staring at her face immediately shrank back like a mouse meeting a cat. Behind these two were five Green Dragon Knight. However, they wore cloaks and masks, and they didn't attract much attention when they walked in the end. People would only treat them as Allen's guards, how could they imagine that the Naga Royal Guards would become Allen's guards?

At this time, Alan was already surrounded by the nobles in the city. Even Wyft had spent a lot of effort squeezing out the crowd. This was all thanks to the docile female companion of the real killer. Occasionally, he would "squeeze" the crowd with clever force, otherwise, Wyft would not have been allowed to be squeezed behind and not be allowed to enter.

"Lord Alan!" Wyft smiled. The usual haze on his face disappeared under the lights in the room. Some of his face was filled with excitement, and he almost burst into tears. Weaver said loudly, "Your Excellency is truly fortunate to have come to Fenrir City twice. If it weren't for your Excellency, there wouldn't be today's Radiant Ridge, much less our current good days. Therefore, I propose a toast to Lord Alan!"

Wyft's flattery was so blatant that many people below cursed shamelessness, but they could only raise their glasses in agreement. Unexpectedly, Allen waved his hands gently, indicating for the crowd to be quiet. Then, he looked up and down at Whift and smiled intentionally, "Who is this gentleman?"

The crowd fell silent.

Wyft's face was even more embarrassed. He had been acting for a long time, and when he said "I don't know you", he didn't feel warm enough to stick his cold butt on her? Wyft thought about a thousand and ten thousand, but he never thought that this would be the case. He was furious. He could not help but feel that this lord had come to Fenrir City for a whole day and would not know that he was someone of his caliber.

The dignitaries below were also stunned, and some of them almost burst into laughter. He finally covered his mouth in time, otherwise he would have angered Wyft to death.

Auss, who was standing on Allen's right, said coldly, "Sir, this is Mr. Wyft. He is still my elder."

"Oh?" Ellen narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile, "The gentleman said that I was here twice. In other words, Mr. Wyft should have been in Fenrir City half a year ago when I forced him to come. It's strange that he's Oz's elder again. Why didn't I see Mr. Wyft in this hall back then?"

Wyft was speechless for a moment. He couldn't say that I was scared to death at that time. If I could escape from the city, I wouldn't have seen you again.

Ellen asked again, "Could it be that Mr. Wyft was ill at that time?"

"Yes, yes, yes. I was seriously ill. Otherwise, even if I were to climb up, I would still have to come and see my lord's demeanor," said Wyft as he hurriedly nodded his head when he saw Alan throw out the stairs.

'"Mr. Wyft's kung fu is really first-rate. Oh, I remember. Someone told me that a guy named Wyft has been busy overpowering our Sir Austin for half a year. Could that be you?" Ellen said to an old man who was so good at flattering him.

The corner of Weaver's mouth twitched, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. Even if he was an idiot, he could tell that Ellen's tone was different. "What do you mean, my lord?" Said Wyft coldly.

"Well, they say that Wyft is the smartest man in Fenrir. When Duruf was still alive, the gentleman chose to retire. Later, when I was at the gates of the city, and as a great noble of Fenrir, Mr. West was more than happy to bury himself as a mole, so as not to face the saber-soldiers. The mole did not crawl out until Baron Oz took office. '"Then it's awesome," Allen said in an exaggerated tone. "You're so smart, why don't you guess what I mean?"

When the music in the hall disappeared, the band quietly left the hall. No one knew who had the leeway to close the door, so no one in the hall could leave unless they jumped out of the window. At this time, no matter how stupid a person was, they could still feel that there was no atmosphere for the banquet tonight. This was clearly the Lord's fault.

Wyft rolled his eyes. The situation at this moment was completely beyond his expectations. He could no longer figure out what Alan was going to do. Alan waved his hand and stepped back to say with a smile, "Don't worry, Baron Oz still has something to say to you. Just listen to what our Baron wants to say."

Alan retreated and Oz moved forward, becoming the focus of the room. Wyft looked coldly at the boy and at the lamb born of a wolf. He did not believe what the docile lamb dared to say to him. Wyft still looked at Oz coldly as usual. Normally, when this boy came into contact with his gaze, he would always lower his head to avoid it. But tonight, he looked at each other resolutely and said in a slightly slow voice, "I thought you wouldn't dare to come tonight, but you came. Very well, Wyft. I don't know why you, a commoner, are here at this official banquet."

Wyft was stunned.

The others revealed thoughtful expressions. Some of them came to a sudden realization, while others frowned.

"You probably didn't take a good look at the invitation, or you would have noticed that the invitation was addressed to 'Invite Officials at All Levels'," Auss said. That's the last chance I'll give you. If you can understand the meaning behind this and choose to leave, then I'll pretend that I didn't notice and let you go. In that case, tonight would be a real dusty banquet. But when you come, that means something else. "

'"Wyft, you resigned from your post long ago when my father was in power. But when you received that invitation, you didn't notice anything. It's probably half a year since you saw yourself as the real owner of Finnell, right?"

"For the past six months, you have been manipulating the bureaucracy, bribing and even assassinating our city officials to achieve your goal of stealing the day." "I won't talk about the rest of this," Auss said in an accentuated tone. "Just the assassination of an official is a capital offense under the empire's constitution!"

"Sir Austin," said Wyft coldly, "you must not spill this dirty water. Do you have any evidence?"

"I do!" Oz raised his hand and patted the door of the hall behind him. Walking at the front was Jeff. Seeing that Wyft's eyes were red and he was about to punch someone, he was stopped by a Green Dragon Knight.

"Don't be in a hurry, Captain Jeff," Ellen said coolly.

Jeff gasped for breath and glared at the old man. He knelt down and said to Oz, "Lord Oz, Wyft came looking for me. I refused to let him betray you. This old man ordered someone to assassinate me the next night. If Lord Edward hadn't made the arrangements, Jeff wouldn't be standing here now!"

Wyft couldn't hide the shock on his face. He glared at his female companion and hurriedly said in a voice they could only hear, "Didn't you say they were all dead? Why are they all standing here alive now?"

The woman was also at a loss for what to do.

Following that, the others knelt down and testified against Wyft. The officials in the hall and the nobles in the city began to retreat to avoid standing too close to Wyft.

Wyft did not know whether he was angry or afraid. His entire body trembled and he shouted, "One-sided words, these are all one-sided words!"

Alan picked a piece of cake and threw it into his mouth. "I told you this old fox wouldn't be so easy to behave. Oz, don't hide it. Call that man in," he said as he ate.

Oz nodded and gestured. The door to the hall opened again and a person walked in from outside.

A person who should never have appeared here!
