Congratulations You Are Under Arrest!

At this dinner,

The identity of the woman is a mystery.

But it's no secret to some.

On the seat in the corner, Judge Metheus, the judge under the second ruling of the Shangjing Judgment Division, sat on the brightly lit seat, and the iconic black robe flashed a breathtaking luster on the light.

It is different from the mysterious woman in the banquet who is highly anticipated and looks like a black swan.

Most of the guests invited to the birthday dinner for Mr. Kenneth's daughter tonight are rich or expensive.

However, when almost everyone's eyes fell on the man, they all moved away silently in a tacit understanding.

Probably for most of the distinguished members of the United States of Targos and the ministers, if it is not a last resort, almost no one is willing to take the initiative to deal with those who are wearing black robes of the Judgment Division.

This is not just the simple awe of ordinary people,

More, it is a kind of political wisdom and the way of doing business.

For a time, apart from the people in the black-robed execution team who were scattered around the seats, a forbidden place seemed to form around Judge Metheus.

It clearly occupied the main seat of the banquet, but it felt as if it was torn apart in the courtyard, and was completely independent of the entire banquet.

interesting.

Inquisitor Metheus leaned lazily on the seat, holding a glass of strong liquor called Water of Life, a specialty of Meji House, in his hand. Intoxicating.

The middle-aged man swayed and gently took a sip of the pungent aroma of wine, and immediately said to the deputy captain of the black-robed executive team who was standing beside him with a non-smiling smile:

I have known the stupidity of human beings for a long time, but this dinner tonight is the elite among the human beings. I thought that as the elite, they should be smarter.

The captain of the black robe execution team heard the big man sitting next to him suddenly speak, carefully pondered the meaning of the other party's words, and said carefully,

You mean Lord Alita?

Inquisitor Metheus shrugged noncommittally and said with a smile, I can understand that sheep avoid wolves because of their fear, but what I didn't expect is that they will have a love for a lion instead. It's really interesting.

But why is Alita-sama?

The captain of the black-robed execution team glanced at the woman in the black dress who was walking towards the strange boy, quickly retracted his gaze, and lowered his voice carefully.

Hehe. How do we know what the lion thinks? Inquisitor Metheus squinted and asked with a half-smile, Don't you think that Lord Alita will have any thoughts on a human man?

The vice-captain of the black robe execution team suddenly turned pale, and quickly lowered his head and said nervously, My subordinates don't dare! My subordinates don't dare!

Judgment was strictly ordered, and almost no one dared to criticize their superiors like this, not to mention that the woman who was parachuted into Meiji Mansion from Shangjing was not an ordinary superior.

Metheus smiled indifferently. As the judge under the second ruling, he did not have much awe for this hypocritical and benevolent third ruling, and he may not even have the idea of ​​replacing it one day.

As for the other party who deliberately separated from him when he entered the venue tonight, hiding his identity, whether to experience life or do something else, he didn't care about it.

Thinking of this, Inquisitor Metheus couldn't help but squinted slightly.

this banquet tonight,

All he cares about is one thing.

That is whether this boring task can be ended early.

The black curtain on the second floor of the mansion slowly opened, and the invited top band from Meiji Mansion had already finished debugging. The conductor in the white tuxedo standing at the front raised the baton in his hand with a full smile. .

With his gesture of raising the baton, the melodious piano prelude gurgled in the courtyard.

When the cello and violin mix followed, the men and women in the courtyard who found their dance partners slowly paced to the open space, and behind them held the outstretched hand of the other party with a reserved smile.

It was precisely at this time that Higashinohara, who was about to leave the side door after completing the messenger mission under the accompaniment of the condor bureau's capable agents, heard a black swan-like voice behind him.

Can you dance with your face?

——Pure black evening dress, small black shirt, those slender arms and face were covered with a layer of black gauze, the long black hair seemed to hide something, and at first glance, it looked mysterious, cold and transparent. With a touch of carelessness.

It was like walking in a flowerbed in the morning, and accidentally saw a flower that she liked, so she casually sent out an invitation that belonged to her.

Higashi Yehara turned around and looked at the woman with a cold temperament like a black lotus in front of her with a little surprise. She didn't think why a strange woman she didn't know would come to him.

Is it a charitable almshouse that sees yourself going?

Higashinohara has heard that there are many rich women in such high-society dinner parties, who specialize in hunting young men who step on their toes and want to stand out.

It's just that Higashinohara didn't have this idea.

He just sent the letter.

Sorry, maybe the host of this banquet didn't welcome me, I think I should leave now. Higashinohara shook his head and declined.

Hearing the words, the woman wearing the black veil raised her eyes and glanced at the condor officials who were behind Higashinohara, and said indifferently, Is that so? The dance has already started, I want to invite him to dance. Can you dance?

The woman said this in a light tone, but there was an unquestionable feeling.

Under normal circumstances, no matter how eye-catching and mysterious the woman in front of her is, the tall man of the Condor Secret Service behind Higashinohara will not go against the will of Senator Kenneth who held the banquet as the security guard of the banquet. .

However, at this moment, facing the woman's words, the man in black opened his mouth to refuse, but found that the words of rejection could not be said no matter what.

Not embarrassed, but the vocal cords suddenly lost their ability to speak.

The whole person is like a drowning fish, watching the people on the water helplessly underwater, spitting bubbles in his mouth but making no sound.

This feeling made him a little terrified, and he subconsciously wanted to do something.

Then the next second.

The man in black was even more stunned to find that, let alone an act of refusal, he froze in place at the moment, and even the expression of the muscles on his face stiffened.

Higashinohara was a little surprised that the man in black did not refuse.

He glanced around, and the guests in the courtyard, even the men who were hugging their dance partners, would look at this woman from time to time.

Is this woman unusual?

Higashinohara guessed in his heart.

At this moment, he looked at the slender jade arm covered in black veil that the woman took the initiative to stretch out.

Higashinohara pondered for two seconds, remembering something that just happened in the corridor next to the courtyard, and couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

So he stretched out his hand, gently held the woman's inviting hand, intertwined his fingers politely, and hugged the woman's waist with the other hand, and then the two walked towards the courtyard together from the side door of the corridor.

Who is that man?

Seeing this sudden scene, many of the single dignitaries in the courtyard who were eager to send out invitations were stunned.

Who didn't expect that the noble black swan who attracted countless attention at the dinner tonight would meet an unrecognized and unremarkable appearance.

Well, the young man with a somewhat handsome appearance stretched out his hand, and his face suddenly became cloudy.

Among these people, of course, also included His Excellency Sulvin, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the United States of Targos, who had just met Higashinohara in the hallway and had a bald forehead smoking a cigar.

In fact, since the woman in a black evening dress walked into the mansion dinner courtyard alone tonight, many people's eyes fell on her.

His Excellency Minister Sulvin of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is one of them, and he is also the man whose status is most likely to be favored by the black swan at tonight's banquet.

For this reason, our Excellency Minister Sulvin even sent off the female companion who accompanied him to the banquet tonight, completely disregarding the sad and mournful expression of the female companion when she left, just for the desperation at the beginning of the dance.

That's why the conversation just ended,

When MP Kenneth said the dance begins, Minister Sulvin's face immediately revealed the reason for the zeal.

It's just that at this moment in the middle of the courtyard, Minister Sulvin, who had finished arranging the collar of his shirt, never thought of it.

Forefoot he just came,

Want to send an invitation to that black swan.

On the back foot, a young man who had just been abandoned by them was quicker than him to gain the favor of the black swan.

In the center of the courtyard, Minister Sulvin, who was dumbfounded for a moment, stood there for a while, with a gloomy expression dripping from his face.

He looked around,

It was as if I could hear countless guests sneering silently at this scene in their hearts.

hateful!

What a lifeless guy!

Minister Sulvin stared at Higashinohara sullenly.

When he turned to leave the ground, he quietly waved to the capable agent of the Condor Bureau, and said something.

On the dance floor of the courtyard, the melodious music of men and women staggered on the bluestone floor tiles, the blossoming skirts swirled like lotus flowers in the lotus pond, and the air was filled with the scent of strong hormones and expensive perfumes.

On the dance floor, most of the men control the rhythm with the women spinning.

Only Higashinohara was different from the woman wearing black gauze like a black swan. From the moment she stepped into the courtyard, the other party firmly controlled the rhythm.

every rotation,

every jump,

Every move.

leg lift, step, arm swing

Always so elegant and precise.

that belongs to the queen

No, the momentum and power of the Empress.

For a time, the two people who looked like flowers and leaves blooming and closing again under the light suddenly became the focus of everyone in the courtyard.

Under everyone's attention, no one noticed that a faint mist suddenly floated from the side door, and then a few men in dark green coats walked out.

In the courtyard, Higashinohara had a little background in Latin dancing in a previous life.

Coupled with the comprehensive control of the body after the comprehensive development of various attributes of the body, every muscle line in the body is gradually forming muscle memory.

After a few rhythms of the melodious music, he was a little jerky at first and quickly followed the pace of the black swan in front of him.

Gradually, the opponent's strength also aroused the desire to win in Higashinohara's heart, and he began to try to regain the initiative in the dance.

Even if he was passive at first.

The woman opposite seemed to have noticed something, her red lips under the black veil were slightly raised, and Higashinohara's outline was reflected in the slender dark blue almond eyes across the veil.

At the same time, Higashinohara also glanced at the occasional twirling black veil, and saw the other party's white chin and slightly raised red lips.

Is she smiling?

Did you really meet a rich woman who was hunting at a high-class party?

Tonohara suddenly looked strange.

The melodious sound of the violin gradually soothes,

Higashinohara finally began to alternately control the rhythm of the dance with the black swan-like woman in front of her.

When the song draws to a close,

Driven by the traction of Higashinohara, the woman in front of her took a stride like a knife unsheathed, and the dance moved neatly close to Higashinohara's chest.

The slender arm outlined a dazzling arc under the light, and then the wrist was lightly placed on Higashinohara's shoulder.

clap clap-!

Suddenly there was applause around,

Then there was a wave of applause.

However, at this moment, a soft whisper came from Higashinohara's chest.

You shouldn't be looked down upon.

isn't it?
