Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 312 The tragedy of the reception
The eyes of everyone in the banquet hall were once again focused on Ke Lan. To these young masters and ladies, the scene just now was like a top-level action blockbuster... except this time, they were not sitting on a comfortable sofa The audience, but a group of cannon fodder who may burp at any time in the film...

"Why are you looking at me? Why don't you hurry up and save people?" Ke Lan's words made the people who were stunned there realize that those killed by the heavy armor and rhinoceros shovel actually accounted for only half of the casualties. A very small part of them, and the vast majority of the injured and dead, all came from the crowd's pushing and trampling.

Many people still had the look of waking up from a dream. It was not until the hotel's security and medical personnel rushed into the banquet hall that the rescue work was carried out.

The short silence before disappeared, replaced by various scolding and questioning voices—of course, this time, their target was not Ke Lan.

There were also kneeling on the ground and sobbing at the bloody corpse... But Ke Lan noticed that the heels of the crying girl's high-heeled shoes were covered with blood and broken flesh, and the corpse in front of her was covered with There are several blood holes stepped on by the heels...

Ke Lan couldn't figure it out for a while: Is this woman in pain because of her lover's death, or is she afraid of some "responsibilities" she is about to bear?

After all, judging from the wound, that unlucky guy should have been trampled to death by her...

Ke Lan lowered his head and checked his condition: he didn't suffer any injuries, but the formal suit Zofia made for her was rather horrible, with scratches and tears everywhere on the clothes and trousers The cut was also stained with a lot of blood and wine stains, obviously it couldn't be worn anymore.

He shook his head distressedly, and said to himself, "It's a pity, such expensive clothes were reimbursed after wearing them for less than an hour..."

"If you like, I can ask someone to make a few more sets for you, and wear them in rotation. It's okay if you don't repeat them for a month." Zofia said, she had already walked behind Ke Lan, while Lu Che was standing Not far away, he was holding his mobile phone, talking quickly with the person on the other end of the phone.

"Forget it. This kind of formal clothes is good-looking, but to be honest, the comfort is really not as good as my own clothes... Besides, I always worry about wearing such expensive clothes, for fear of getting scratched somewhere, no Feel free." Ke Lan refused.

"Whatever you want... Besides, I have to remind you that you have been targeted by the Morgan family."

"I knew..." Ke Lan said helplessly. Although it was the young master who was already dead and couldn't die anymore, it was the young master who brought the heavy armored rhinoceros shovel into the reception, but if he hadn't done it himself, he would have saved the debtor For a gladiator, the heavy armored rhinoceros shovel will naturally not trigger the "stress mutation"... Of course, this tragedy will not happen.

What's more, this kind of wealthy family has always protected its weaknesses. It is impossible for the Morgan family to blame their own people... What's more, people are dead, and they can't scold them if they want to... They will only transfer all their hatred to themselves .

"Will the Morgan consortium want me to lose money?" Ke Lan looked around the messy Empire banquet hall, let alone the entire hotel, the cost of this banquet hall alone is probably an astronomical sum.

"They won't let you lose money, and they will thank you for what you have done... After all, no one can predict the mutation of monsters. From a factual point of view, you saved the people in the banquet hall. Children of the family." Zofia said softly, "But from today onwards, the entire Morgan family will regard you as an enemy that must be eradicated, and those secret methods are what you need to beware of."

"Such as... sending a killer to assassinate me?"

"Including, but not limited to." Zofia said in a voice that only Ke Lan could hear, while holding Ke Lan's arm, stretched out the other hand, and wiped Ke Lan's face with a napkin. "You'd better strengthen your personal security on weekdays... Or, I suggest that you live directly at my house, which is the safest."

"It's not good to live together before you're officially married?"

"There are many vacant rooms in the villa, you can choose whatever you want. As for the public opinion from the outside world... I don't care much, do you?"

"Uh, I think it's better to forget it. At worst, I will move to the safe house provided by the military. No matter how powerful the Morgan consortium is, they dare not send the killer to the military safe house, right?" Ke Lan He said, he didn't mind those gossip, but if he lived under the same roof as Zofia, there would always be a feeling of being "surveilled" all the time. If those secrets were accidentally leaked out, it would be worse than offending A Morgan family is much more troublesome.

"But you don't have to worry too much. Although you and the Morgan family have turned against each other, among the people you rescued, there will always be a few families who will give you an olive branch that symbolizes friendship... These big families check and balance each other. The Morgan family may not dare to touch you either."

As if to verify what Zofia said, from the corner of Ke Lan's eyes, he saw a white, chubby "spherical object" walking towards him.

This man is a fat man, and he is wearing a white suit, even the leather shoes are white, the visual effect looks more "inflated"... But the suit on this guy's body did not show any wrinkles, hair It was not chaotic at all, presumably he had found a place to hide just now, and saw the whole process of Ke Lan trapping and killing the heavy armored rhinoceros.

"Miss Zofia, hello, I haven't seen you for a few months, you are still so bright and charming." The fat man first smiled at Zofia, and then shifted his eyes to Ke Lan, "I think you are Zofie Ms. Ya's fiancé, Mr. Ke Lan, right?"

As he said that, the fat man bowed to Ke Lan with some difficulty: "Only in my own name, I would like to pay high tribute to your heroic deed just now. Many people in this banquet hall, including me, were killed by you." Saved."

Although the fat man said some clichés, at least he didn't hit the smiling person with his hand, and Ke Lan could only return him an embarrassed but polite smile.

"Ah, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself." The fat man held out his hand to Ke Lan, "Ye's Consortium, Ye Yan."

"Hunting God Hunting Group, Ke Lan."

Unlike second-rate consortiums like the Anderson Consortium, the Yip Consortium can definitely be regarded as one of the largest consortiums on the Ark. Even the influence of the Morgan Consortium, the organizer of this reception, was faintly overwhelmed by the Ye's Consortium , and Ye's consortium operates one and only one kind of business - arms.

Especially in the field of military mechs, the Ye's Consortium is almost the only one... Now more than [-]% of the companies in the market that produce mechas or mecha accessories are all assets of the Ye's Consortium, and the rest Most of the mecha brands will adopt the technology provided by Ye's - "New Era Military Mecha Uniform Regulatory Standard" was jointly formulated by Ye's consortium and the weapons and equipment development branch of the research institute.

And the organizer of the famous Ark Mech Competition known as the "New Era World Cup" is the Ye Family Consortium.

Just as the two of them loosened their grip, Ye Yan took out a hard card with no patterns or words on the surface from the inside pocket of his suit, and handed it to Ke Lan with both hands.

"What is this?" Ke Lan wondered. It didn't look like a business card, nor did it look like an anonymous credit card. It's the key card of the mansion... But considering Ye Yan's background, could this card be the activation card of a new mecha?
"A VIP card, of course, you can also regard it as an invitation letter." Ye Yan said, "There is still one month left, and the No. 20 Ark Mech Competition will start. With this card, You are free to enter and exit the VIP viewing area, and at that time, I have a special thank you gift I want to present to you."

"VIP viewing area?" Although Ke Lan has never purchased a ticket for the mecha competition, he will watch the live broadcast of the competition on the Internet every time. He also knows how much a ticket for the VIP viewing area has What a rarity—you can't buy it with money alone, and the tickets for the VIP viewing area will not be sold to the public at all. Only those with special status will obtain this qualification through special channels.

If Layton knew about this, this guy might be so excited that he would break the wrench...

"By the way, can I bring my friends with me?" Ke Lan realized something was wrong as soon as she said it, and quickly changed her words: "It's not interesting for me to go to see it alone. I plan to go with Zofia and some friends from the hunting group. Let’s go together, how many people can this VIP card bring to watch the game?”

Despite this, Ke Lan still felt Zofia gently pinch her arm.

"No limit." Ye Yan shrugged exaggeratedly, "Generally speaking, a VIP invitation letter can only bring up to five people into the venue, but this card is different—"

He pointed to the card in Ke Lan's hand, and continued: "Actually, this card was originally prepared for myself, but even if I didn't have this card, they wouldn't dare to keep me out—as long as Mr. Ke Lan With this card, you can bring as many people as you want, even if you want to play two hands in person, there is no problem, this card also includes a place for a participating team."

"Quota for a participating team? If you give me this card, isn't your team..."

"I didn't organize a team this year. Those good players who manipulated the mechs were all recruited by my elder brother. Just relying on the few stinky fish and rotten shrimps left, they were recruited by the pilots under my elder brother for a training match." A string of four, why should I go to the main match to find myself unhappy, so I simply disbanded the team." Ye Yan said very happily.

"Then I would like to thank Young Master Ye for his kindness." Ke Lan put away the card—this fat man gave Ke Lan a pretty good first impression, and with the background of Ye's consortium, if it was just to make friends, Ke Lan would not Lan is still very happy... Moreover, unlike those big consortiums that want to buy shares or acquire hunting groups, the Ye's consortium does not have much involvement in other industries except mech research, so Ke Lan also He didn't think that Ye Yan's idea of ​​wooing him was to hunt down the hunting gods.

Another point is that if Ke Lan rejects this invitation and Layton finds out, this guy will probably be desperate for him in a few minutes.

"It's getting late, I have other arrangements, I have to go first, and Mr. Ke Lan must appreciate the competition in a month's time."

"Okay, I will definitely go."

Not long after Ye Yan left the banquet hall, the hotel's statistics came out: Including the young master of the Morgan family, a total of 26 people were killed and 67 people were injured in this accident, including 8 serious injuries and 59 minor injuries.

However, only 9 people died directly under the heavy armored rhinoceros shovel, and the remaining 17 people died due to stampede, and the 67 injured, except for one seriously wounded, were thrown by the heavy armored rhinoceros shovel. In addition, the other 66 people were also injured in pushing and trampling.

To Ke Lan's surprise, the slave gladiator who was locked in the cage, the person who was closest to the armored rhinoceros, did not die—this probably has something to do with the sensory organs of the armored rhinoceros: this kind of bug His eyesight is far less sensitive than his hearing, legs, and vibration sense organs. At that time, the gladiator had fallen to the ground motionless, while the young master of the Morgan family was just approaching the cage and talking loudly, so he had just recovered from a near-death state. Only the Heavy Armor Rhinoceros Shovel coming over will choose him as the primary target.

In this way, the young master's death was not wronged.

After all, if you don't die, you won't die... What's more, he was the one who brought this heavy armor and rhinoceros shovel to this reception.

It's a pity that the Morgan family doesn't think so.

During this period of time, many people came over to express their gratitude to Ke Lan. In addition, there were even some young ladies and noble ladies who, in front of Zofia, hinted or expressed How to ask Ke Lan for contact information - but before Ke Lan could speak, Zofia refused for him.

"At first, the young master of the Morgan family wanted to show off, but now you have given all the limelight." Zofia said angrily, "How about it, doesn't it feel good to be the center of attention?"

"I'm not happy at all, okay?" Ke Lan said a little gloomily, "My original purpose of attending this reception was to get in touch with the Anderson family, but now I didn't get the job done, and instead caused a commotion. no."

"That's what you asked for... Although I don't like this kind of thing, you are still too impulsive..." Zofia said, her eyes suddenly shifted away, "But I have to admit, The way you looked just now is indeed very attractive, no wonder those women are attracted to you."

"I didn't think about being handsome. At that time, all I could think about was how to save my life."

"There's a little girl in the corner who has been staring at you for a while, but she seems to have a thin skin, so she didn't dare to strike up a conversation." Zofia said again.

"Oh... then I'll pretend I didn't see it, so as not to be embarrassed." Ke Lan scratched her head and said.

"It's just that... this little girl happens to be the person you're looking for."

"what?"

"Heather Anderson, the youngest daughter of Orano Anderson, the current head of the Anderson family."

"Isn't she still in school? How did she come to this reception?"

"But she's an adult... Besides, although she doesn't hold a position within the family, she has a very good relationship with her second sister. Getting connected with her is equivalent to getting connected with her second sister... And Her second sister's ability is probably the strongest among Orano's seven heirs." Zofia said in Ke Lan's ear, and the air from her mouth gently scratched Ke Lan's helix, An abnormal crispy and itchy feeling immediately made the hairs on the back of Ke Lan's neck stand on end.

"By the way...you won't be jealous if I go to find her?" Ke Lan asked cautiously.

"you guess."
