On the morning of the third day of the Emerald Celebration, Thales pushed aside the obstructing servants and broke into Zhan's dining room roughly.

"Your Highness Thales," the Duke of Nan'an, who was sitting at the head of the table, put down the tableware, wiped the corners of his mouth gracefully, and used his eyes to indicate to the servants not to panic, but to just close the door and leave, "I was still wondering when you would come to me.

…”

But Thales looked at him coldly. "Explain."

"Explain what?" Zhan En's smile remained unchanged.

Thales carefully observed the Duke's every move.

"One of my subordinates died last night," the prince said angrily. "He was seriously injured and couldn't even call a doctor."

Zhan En's smile disappeared, and his hand holding the wine glass paused slightly.

"And you, Jenn Kelvindill, you have to pay for it," Thales gritted his teeth with his eyes like daggers, "I swear, in the name of the little puppet, in the name of Star Lake Castle."

"impossible."

Duke Iris thought for a moment, frowned and replied:

"The ten people under your command, including the heirs of Arlend and Bozdov, as well as your personal guard captain, returned to Kongming Palace in batches last night. Although their faces were sluggish and secretive, they all had to be dressed.

, there are absolutely no seriously injured or dying people! Even if there are unknown hidden injuries, it’s not..."

Zhan En's eyes moved and his words were stagnant.

"Wait, are you deceiving me?"

Thales raised his eyebrows, walked to Zhan, tilted his head, pulled out a chair and sat down.

"So you really know, from beginning to end," the prince snorted coldly, "from the time I sent my men to the time they returned to Kongming Palace."

Zhan's face turned cold.

"I was about to talk about this," the Duke of Nan'an said calmly, "We encountered an unexpected accident yesterday, but it was handled safely, efficiently, and appropriately..."

"No, you didn't," Thales interrupted him coldly, "You still have one more thing to deal with."

Zhan stopped talking.

Thales leaned forward and put his arms on the dining table: "Me."

The dining room became quiet again.

Across the dining table, their eyes met in the air, like two swordsmen standing on the duel stage, slowly drawing their swords.

The atmosphere became solemn.

The next second, the door of the dining room was pushed open violently, and both of them were shocked!

A 'man' with a pale green complexion and a neck as swollen as a gourd staggered in. His facial features were sparsely hung on his face, as if they were melting, disgusting and terrifying.

"Gulu, gulu, gulu..." He made a gritty gurgling sound from his throat, like a bubbling sound.

Thales clasped the arms of his chair tightly, his face stiffened, but at least he didn't lose his composure.

"Xilai," Zhan's expression remained unchanged and he calmly took a sip of wine, "We are talking about business."

"Alas."

A disappointed voice came from behind this 'person'.

The monster's face shriveled up, and Shilai's sweaty face emerged from it, still dressed in the same casual and casual manner:

"The newly made handicraft is based on the legend of the water ghoul in the canal area. Does it look good?"

Water ghoul...

Thales exhaled, looked at the swollen face with melted features, and looked at Zhan, who was frowning behind the dining table.

"It's very beautiful, miss. What a genius idea." Ashford, the butler, followed her with a smile on his face. "Can I suggest pouring some water on it to create a wet effect?"

Hearing this, Xi Lai's eyes lit up:

"It makes sense. No wonder I feel like something is missing. It would be even better if I could walk with pus oozing out from my facial features, dripping and dripping, with footprints and sound and light effects. Then give me a name..."

"Ashford!" Zhan couldn't bear it anymore.

The next second, the water ghoul was instantly transferred from Xi Lai's hands to the butler's hands.

"I'll go work on it right now, miss," Ashford turned and left, closing the door with a smooth movement, "Don't worry."

The door was closed, leaving the three of them alone in the dining room, staring at each other.

"Why do you always like to pretend to be a ghost?" Thales frowned.

"Because everyone likes it," Xi Lai walked up and looked at the prince, then at her brother, with an innocent look on her face, "Look, don't you like it too?"

Thales and Zhan looked at each other.

As old rivals and enemies, they have long been accustomed to a tit-for-tat relationship and a tense atmosphere, but when a third party suddenly appeared in front of them, neither the Duke of Star Lake nor the owner of Iris seemed to adapt.

"What are you doing here, Heeley?" Zhan asked their common question.

Facing the complicated looks from the prince and the duke, Miss Kevin Deere sat down at the dining table without any burden, just on the other side of Zhan and directly opposite Thales. She happily wrapped her napkin, and you're welcome.

He picked up the spare knife and fork on the table.

"I got up early and wanted to find something to eat. By the way, I wanted to ask Taylor, when are you going on a date today?"

As soon as these words came out, Thales and Zhan En both froze.

What?

"He's here to see who his fiancée is, isn't he? Or am I mistaken?" Healy answered very naturally.

Thales and Zhan looked at each other, one was embarrassed, the other was cold.

They exchanged countless emotions and information in a short period of time, and finally reached a rare agreement:

not now.

The two swordsmen on the duel stage sheathed their swords again.

"Xilai, pay attention to the title, it's 'Prince Thales' or 'His Royal Highness'," Zhan En's face was so cold that water dripped from his face, "Don't lose your etiquette."

"That's right, Ms. Sikkandil," Thales nodded with difficulty, "We're not that familiar yet."

Xi Lai clicked his tongue and shook his head:

"Ha, that's not what you said yesterday when we were on the rooftop of the temple."

Rooftop…

Zhan's eyes became more and more terrifying, like a butcher sharpening his knife.

Sin of the Prison River felt the terrifying atmosphere. Thales took a deep breath and stood up from his seat:

"It's late today, ma'am, and I think it's time for me to leave..."

Zhan also put down his wine glass on the other side: "Yes, we just finished talking..."

But Shealey's next words changed the story:

"By the way, Jenn, I just heard from the Kaguire Police Officer that a murder occurred in the Midas District yesterday?"

Murder in the Midas.

As soon as these words came out, Thales and Zhan both frowned.

Their eyes met in the air.

It was as if the duel that had just ended was beating the war drum again.

But Shilay at the center of the duel was just looking at the food on the table, unaware:

"I heard that the person who died was a businessman? What happened? Did something big happen?"

Diop.

Thales frowned deeply when he remembered the name of the deceased.

Zhan looked at Thales and said calmly: "No, it's just an ordinary..."

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Thales.

"In fact, I also heard from my subordinates," Thales sat down on the chair again, his eyes blazing, "Yesterday, the Security Hall and the Emerald Legion dispatched a large number of manpower, causing people to panic. I don't know if it is related to this murder.

Is it related to the case?”

Zhan En's eyes turned cold when he heard this.

"Wow, is that true?" Sheila was minding her own business picking up the dessert.

Zhan and Thales looked at each other for a long time, and then took a look at his sister.

"Listen to your subordinates?"

The Duke of South Bank picked up the wine glass again and observed Thales' distorted face through the glass: "I wonder which subordinate your Highness heard this from?"

This time, the two swordsmen no longer sheathed their swords.

"I have a subordinate named Huaiya." Thales naturally picked up an empty cup and went to get the kettle containing Tai Lunbang's clear spring drink. "He said that when he was wandering on the street, he saw something from a distance.
