The Dark King - Chapter 244

Chapter 244

"Do not be impulsive . " Old Fulin saw the expression on Dudian's face . He signed . : "We have no evidence in our hands even if we know that they have faked the books . There is no way to recover the justice . Moreover you have the identity of an architect right now so we can't lose face because of such a small issue . We must accumulate our power and take account when we are strong enough . "

Dudian saw the worry in Old Fulin's eyes . He gentle raised his hand and patted his shoulder . : "Don't worry, I'll deal with this thing . People are fragile, whether it is a senior hunter or an ordinary person . It is the same . Don't forget that to destroy a precise machine a big axe is not required . Sometimes pulling a piece as big as a hair will destroy it . "

Old Fulin looked at his eyes that were full of darkness . His heart trembled . It was as if he was not standing in front of a teenager but an dark evil monster .

"Now, we should go to dinner . " Dudian's face changed instantly to a smile . In the blink of an eye his temperament changed to a gentle one .

Old Fulin was in a trance as he carefully though about Dudian's words . He recovered . : "Yes . . . . Yes . . . It is getting late . We should go . This is a rare gathering where all the aristocracy will attend . We should take over this opporunity to win other aristocrats . "

Dudian smiled and held his arm to help him to move .

The butler had already prepared the carriage . Both of them went to the venue where the 'Temple of Elements' held the banquet - St . Peters .

At one time St . Peters was a cathedral of the Holy Church . However it later when 'Temple of Elements' was established this venue was given to them as a gift because it was close to Mount Church .

Gradually sun set and one by one stars popped up in the sky .

There were dozens of carriages parked outside the St . Peters . They belongs to the aristocrats from commercial district . Most of them were upper nobility but some rising ones personally came over too . After all this was a banquet held by the Temple to give the 'epoch' medal . Although big consortium's such as Mellon and Scott didn't care or weren't concerned about Dudian but they didn't dare not to give face to 'Temple of Elements . '

The road to the cathedral was lit by fragrant oil lamps . They were parts of sesame oil which were taken from a beast's body . Even some upper aristocratic castle's used them only in study rooms and dining rooms . However in here they were casually placed to light the road . Even the guards who were on duty felt fresh because of the fragrance emitted from lamps .

Kerry and several other colleagues stood at door and received the guests one by one . Kerry was acquaintance with almost everyone . He had wide range of contacts . He just had sent away two nobles when a carriage came close to the door . Kerry's eyes lit up as he saw the banner above the carriage .

Dudian was first to get off the carriage . Then he helped Old Fulin to walk out of the carriage .

"Mr . Dean . " Kerry immediately approached . : "You are a little late . Don't forget that you are tonight's star!"

Dudian shrugged his shoulders . : "The traffic . "

Kerry helplessly smiled and looked at Old Fulin . : "Old patriach Fulin . You body is still healthy . By the way, you have picked up the treasure . "

"Luck, luck . " Old Fulin laughed .

"Please come inside . Its windy outside . " Kerry immediately invited them and lead the way in front .

The three people went into the St Peters . The door could accommodate ten people at the same time . The thick doors slowly opened and the golden slight swung out form inside . The laughter echoed out . The place was extremely luxurious . Everything inside was fine work of art . Even the chandaliers were made of the best quality glasses .

Kelly laughed: "I have to receive the guests now . I'll accompany you afterwards . "

After Kerry left, Dudian and Old Fulin came inside the hall . There was massive table filled with all kinds of fresh fruits, pastries, wine and so on . Nobles stood in groups and chatted . They talked in whispers highlighting the behaviour of aristocratic courtesy .

"I didn't expect that I will have the privilige to come to St . Peters . " Old Fulin said with emotion: "My father had attended a party in the past . But I was too young so he didn't bring me . Its thanks to you that I have the chance to visit this legendary place . It is trule was crafted by the masters . Such a majestic atmoshpere . "

Dudian grabbed a pastry with low level of sugar . : "Let's go and sit . "

"Alright . " Old Fulin nodded as he sat on sofa to rest . He looked at Dudian . : "You go around and check the people . No need for you to accompany this old man . Take advantage of this opportunity and tried to hook up with ladies . "

Dodian looked at him helplessly . : "I won't be able to find anyone close to my age . "

"So what if you can't find sixteen year old ones . There would be older ones . It would be rare to find anyone older than twenty but still there are some . " Old Fulin smiled and pointed towards some girls .

Dudian looked at the direction where Old Fulin was pointing too . There were few noble ladies who stood together, chatted and laughed . He recovered his eyes and said to Old Fulin . : "You have good rest . " He came to the center of the hall and began to wander around . He could keenly distinguish their whispers . Although they weren't talking about secret but he was able to hear what kind of things they liked to talk about in public .

"People from Burong family . . . " Dudian's eyes fell on a middle aged man . He was familiar with the face of this man . Although he had seen him only once but it was firmly engraved into his mind . It was Jenny's father, Rudolph!

At the moment Rudolph was surrounded by few nobles . He had a glass of wine in his had and occasionally would take a ship . Wine was a good additive to such parties . It would take the 'embarrassment' away .

"The little devil, do not look around . " Suddenly a voice echoed from behind .

Dudian looked back to see an obese middle-aged man . There were few strands of white hair on his temple . He was familiar but couldn't remember from where . Suddenly he remember the first noble he had seen when he had participated in the banquet held by Mellon consortium back when he was a scavenger . After so long the man's body and face have changed a bit so it was hard to remember him .

"Mace?" Dudian looked at him and whispered his name . He had heard the name long ago it was deeply engraved in his mind . He couldn't forget because of the deep humiliation back in that day .

"Huh?" Middle-aged man's eyebrows wrinkled: "Do you know me?"

Dudian indifferently said as he saw the man admit his identity . : "You have good collar . Its shame that you want wear it for long . " Afterwards he turned away and left .

The middle-aged man looked at the exquisite men's necklace that was hung on his neck . He specially asked a master to forge it for him . He looked back at Dudian but he had left . He was furious but in such an occasion he couldn't directly shout out . He stared visiously at Dudian's back as he memorized Dudian's appearance .
