Rekindle the spirit of war

Chapter 18

With the help of Francis' girlfriend, Sean successfully mixed into the prom.

Sean wanted to express his gratitude, but the other party didn't give him the chance.The pretty girl flew up like a merry bird, took Francis's arm, and tore him away.Now, Sean can only fight alone.

Sean straightened his back, followed the awkward etiquette, and responded politely to anyone who greeted him.Sean thought it was silly for everyone to wear masks of different shapes, but now he began to appreciate the ridiculous mask on his head.The tinted lenses can cover the original color of the eyes, and Sean knows how much chaos can be caused if a low-status "doll" boy appears at the ball.

Sean quickly found his purpose.The huge blue diamond was placed on a velvet cushion and covered in a glass case in the middle of the hall.Of course, he also met the duchess, who was quite famous in the city.

The lady was dressed in a low-cut red dress with gold threads on the lace, and her curvaceous figure could fascinate men and drive women crazy.Her skin looked so white and delicate, it reminded Sean of white cream.As the host, she does not wear a mask or glasses or other decorations.She is indeed astonishingly beautiful, and her frown and smile are enough to make people overwhelmed.

Sean never believed that relationships could buy talent, but he's changed his mind now.This woman is gorgeous enough to make everything possible.But Shane didn't think it was a big deal.He knew that there was a person who was still so beautiful even though he was beaten up and embarrassed, and that person was one of the people he hated the most.

The truth of "Nie Yuan" is that when you think of that person, even if you don't want to see him, he will immediately appear in front of you.

As Sean waited for his moment, he heard some discordant voices from the other side of the gate, and there seemed to be a little commotion.Sean thought it was some rash noble boy who made a mistake, until he saw Medanzo walk in through the courtyard.

Sean understood instantly.At a masquerade ball where all the guards and masters wore strange masks, it was really strange for someone like Medanzo to be so unadorned; what's more, this man's appearance was so outstanding.He saw a few petite girls gathered together and talking about something, their faces were all facing the direction that Medanzo came in; they even took off their masks without restraint, their eyes were eager and curious, as if they had never seen such a beautiful girl Manly.

Perhaps they had never seen a man more handsome than Medanzuo.Sean thought.He has lived two lifetimes, but he has never seen it.No matter how much he hated the other party, he couldn't deny this fact.

"Since you entered the army, you have rarely appeared in social situations. You are still so handsome, so cute!" The young Duchess went forward, with a smile that could make the whole garden of roses feel ashamed quickly. withered. "As soon as you walk in, you steal all the limelight! It makes me jealous."

"I'm so happy to see you so healthy and happy." Medanzuo kissed the back of his wife's hand, smiling politely and distantly. "You humble yourself. At your ball, no one can take the lead."

Sean stood against the wall, watching the two exchange pleasantries.Medanzo looked radiant and graceful, and the previous conflict seemed to have had no effect on him.But Sean knew how hard he had hit him; he knew that Medanzuo's ribs were still aching, and the bruises on his body from the beating hadn't faded away.Sean couldn't help lowering his head and smiling, and when he raised his head again, he was surprised to find that Medanzuo was walking towards him.

He thought it was bad, but didn't move.In the eyes of outsiders, Medanzuo just wanted to greet him; if he walked away, he might give people the impression that he didn't know what to do, and might even irritate that pervert and make things worse.

After shaking hands with Sean as usual, Medanzo leaned against the wall beside Sean. "Don't be nervous, you have already won." He whispered: "You are so lucky. There are very few people in this city who understand contract magic, but you have met one."

"I have been very lucky since I left you. Since I met you, I don't think anything more unfortunate than this will happen to me." Sean knew that Medanzuo had already guessed that part of the contract on him was canceled thing.It's easy to think: if the contract is still there, then the lesson he taught Mei Danzuo just now is enough to make him collapse on the ground and can't get up.

"Any form of master-slave contract has 'restraint' and 'punishment'." Medan Zuo lamented: "As long as you leave my side, the pain the contract brings to you will be more uncomfortable than my small punishments. .”

Sean made no secret of his surprise—his expression was behind the mask anyway. "I know how terrible the punitive power of a contract is when it kicks in—I've experienced it many times. But you think this will make me come back and beg you? How naive. For example, hunger may make me fight wild dogs for food , but I can’t let me bow my head to the nobles. What do you want to do now? Expose me, or kill me in a fit of anger?”

Medanzuo shook his head lightly; Sean even heard the disappointment from the other party's words: "You always try to figure me out with the most vicious thoughts. Listen, I know you plan to get that blue diamond, but as long as If you lift the glass cover, you will be sieved by bullets. I will dance with that lady, and then I will borrow the diamond to come over and have a look. It should not be difficult for you to snatch something from me. I know how fast and hard you can strike with no scruples."

"Your conscience has found out, and you plan to help me return that blue diamond to its owner?"

"I just don't want you to be caught so soon, that would be too boring. Only when the beast is released into the forest can people see its original appearance. And I want to look at you." Medan Zuo's expression was calm, Impeccable.

The man doesn't have to wear a mask at all.That beautiful and unruffled face is the perfect mask.Sean thought so.He had forgotten that he had torn off the other party's "mask" not long ago. "Should I thank you?"

"If you want."

"I guess, you don't care about my thanks." Sean was about to walk away, but Medanzuo grabbed his wrist. "Xion," Medanzo asked in his ear, "do you think I'm moody, bad-tempered, and annoying?"

"Look, how self-aware you are, why do you still ask me?" Sean felt puzzled.He was even more confused when he saw the other party's exquisite lips tightly pursed and obviously became unhappy.Medanzuo's frankness reassured Sean, but his unpredictable emotions made him a big headache.When someone came over, he couldn't help but lowered his voice and urged the other party to let go: "Okay, don't bother me. It's ugly for two men to behave like this."

"It's for me. Don't just stand here all the time, talk to a lady and dance. The crow mask won't attract attention, but if you are always alone, it will cause trouble." Medanzuo He let go of Sean's hand and walked towards the person, leaving Sean alone in surprise.

Does this guy really want to help me?It's unbelievable!

Sean couldn't help being wary of Medanzo; but he knew he was right.He took Medanzo's advice, quickly found a girl who was alone, and dragged her onto the dance floor as the music started.

High society ballroom dancing was nothing less than an uphill struggle for Sean.In his previous life, he was considered a good dancer, but that was in a commoner's tavern, where there were no rules restricting people, he was enthusiastic and free.At this moment, Sean needs to put on airs all the time, avoid the people around him, and more importantly, don't poke the sharp beak on the girl's face on his mask; although the other party is also wearing a weird mask, there is no Long metal beak.

What a disaster.

When the dance ended, Sean realized that he was already drenched in sweat. He seemed to be dressed neatly, but he was actually very embarrassed.Fortunately, the lady he danced with was very understanding.She obviously noticed Sean's thin figure and tight arms, and she regarded him as a young boy who had just entered the social scene; she showed great tolerance for Sean's strange performance.

Using the excuse of resting for a while, Sean walked away to look for Medanzo's figure.It was easy, the man with the maskless blond hair, and Sean caught sight of him in no time.As Medanzuo said before, the huge blue diamond left the glass cover at this moment and was held in his hand.

Sean breathed a sigh of relief.He was quite curious about the reason why Mei Danzuo helped him, but it would not be too late to save this thought until after the matter was over.He was going to wait for a while before making a move; anyway, it was Medanzo who was holding the blue diamond, so let the other party continue to hold it.

Mei Danzuo held the blue diamond in his hand, but his mind was not on it at all.His interest in things came and went quickly.Perhaps only a certain feral pup has sustained his interest so far.

At this moment, the wolf-like boy was talking with people in a leisurely manner, as if enjoying the banquet with all his heart.Medanzo couldn't help feeling puzzled.The longer things are delayed, the more likely variables will arise.If it was him, he would choose a quick fight.

Sean strikes, the timing of which is indescribably ingenious.The second dance was about to begin, and as Sean walked across the hall, one could only assume he was trying to find a partner.He walked up to Meidanzuo so naturally, and suddenly jumped forward, leaning on the back of the sofa chair with his hands and turning over; and the blue diamond was no longer in Meidanzuo's hands.

Medanzo stood up in surprise.He didn't let his guard down on purpose; he simply couldn't hide from it.He guessed that at that speed, no one would be able to dodge it.

The Duchess, without suspense, became angry, and shouted for the thief to be taken down.The guards surrounded the man quickly and orderly.However, after that, none of them dared to move.The people in the encirclement held a blue diamond in their raised left hand, and a gun in their right hand, with their finger on the trigger, and the muzzle of the gun was already aimed at the blue diamond.

"Don't act rashly." The voice under the crow's mask was hoarse and unpleasant.The speaker seems to have lead in his mouth, evasive when speaking, and sounds heavy and vague.But people still heard his words: "If you move, I will smash this diamond."

"Listen to him, don't move!" The Duchess gave orders to her subordinates, and then looked at the surrounded people, with viciousness flashing in her beautiful eyes: "If you dare to let that diamond be damaged, then you will change instantly!" A dead body. My men shoot far better than you."

Mei Danzuo's heart suddenly rose.He couldn't care less about the bloody blue stone now; it meant nothing to him except its value.He worried about Sean being torn to pieces by these men's knives and guns, and he didn't even know why he was so worried.

The boy wearing the crow mask sneered, and said, "You have many people, but your marksmanship may not be better than mine." He suddenly raised his hand, threw the blue diamond into the air, and then fired two shots upwards.This was really unexpected: the second shot turned the diamond into blue debris, while the first shot shot down the huge chandelier in the center of the hall!

The chandelier is a combination of glass and metal, with countless candles burning on it; its fall undoubtedly caused great panic, and some people ran away screaming.

Medanzo didn't move; he knew Sean's first shot was for something other than rioting.Sure enough, he saw Sean jump up and step on top of the fallen chandelier.This action caused the chandelier to fall even faster, hitting the floor and shattering into shiny shards.And Sean jumped to a high place with this one, and finally landed on the window sill of the window high in the wall, and escaped from there.

After being amazed, Medanzuo frowned puzzledly: Why did he go out from a high window?

Soon he knew the answer.The sound of the propeller turning and the steam engine running came from outside - it was an airship.

"Honey, go and shoot down the airship!" The Duchess pulled her sharpshooter lover, her voice was almost hysterical: "We can't let that villain get away!"

"I'm sorry." The man whose arm was pulled looked out the window with a look of embarrassment on his face: "That airship belongs to 'Airbus'. If you shoot it down, you will offend the richest and most powerful businessman in this city .”

The beautiful woman covered her mouth: "My God!"

Omg.

Medanzuo lowered his head to hide his surprise.He finally understood the reason for Sean's delay in doing anything before.The boy was waiting for the moment, waiting for the airship to pass by.Sean had everything figured out before the plan was implemented.

"Is that the crow's man? I should have kept him out!" The beautiful duchess stroked her chest, and was about to faint in grief: "These savages! What a precious diamond, just like this Destroyed!"

He wasn't going to destroy that blue diamond.

Medanzuo looked at the distraught young woman, and then turned his gaze to a pendant on the wall.It was a huge mechanical clock movement, the first watch in this country and even in the world, and it was very valuable.When Mei Danzuo first entered the hall, he saw a dark blue diamond set in the center of the movement. It was smaller than the one that everyone was flocking to, but it was also very precious.Now, it's gone.

When you find out that it is not the blue diamond that symbolizes the exotic faith, but one of your last precious ornaments, you will really pass out.
