Chapter 24 Assassination

Like this kind of banquet, how can anyone really come to eat? It's just that the name of a banquet is not too serious. They talk about business and make friends. Everyone gathers together in groups to talk and laugh, at most with a half-inverted wine glass in their hands.

This is probably the most advanced banquet of the Japan Mage Association. Anyone present who picks out one who hangs the badge of a senior member, and the waiters who serve the plate and handing the wine are also temporary guest-stars of the middle and low-level mages. Most of them are the remote and remote descendants of each family, although they can't be like the important people in the family and the direct descendants. The magnificent place officially participated, but you can also take this opportunity to get to know more big people. Maybe you can get a good opportunity from God and be appreciated from now on. Various relationships such as the Japanese Mage Association, an alliance composed of century-old families, are twined. If you want to take office without any identity background, it is extremely difficult. It is a miracle that leaps into a Zihui member like Yong Bowen.

In addition to the local Japanese mage, the Chinese mage delegation who came to the banquet before Yu Chengshi, there was also the delegation of the Russian Mage Association who enthusiastically took the initiative to help before the war. More than 60 people, regardless of men and women, walked around in the crowd, which was very eye-catching.

Yong Bowen didn't know anyone, and no one knew him. Naturally, no one would get close to him, and there was no Yu Chunbing to be restrained. He was very happy. He dominated the table and held the plate. When he saw which one was selling well, he took a piece to taste. In a short time, he ate eight minutes full. There was a saying that it was in his stomach. If you have food, don't panic. Yong Bowen no longer roars and eats everything as he did at the beginning. Instead, he walked along the table and tasted a small piece when he saw the novelty that he had never seen. In the meantime, he stopped the waiter for a glass of juice in case he would choking if he ate too much. In this way, he ate along the long table and looked at the end, he thought Turn from the other side.

There is a group of young people gathered on the table, all of whom are in their eighteen or nineteen or twenty years old, with silver badges hanging on their chests. It is quite difficult to become a senior mage of the association at such a young age. Especially in the place where the Japanese Mage Association is born as a disciple, it is probably a family of Japanese mages. The direct descendants have a chance, and they are also regarded as a group of proud sons of heaven in the Japanese Mage Association. If there is no accident, the backbone and backbone of the Japanese Mage Association will be born among them in a few generations. It is quite something to be proud to get such achievements at a young age, with everyone's reserved self-confidence and pride. Most of them are brought to the meeting by the elders in the family. According to their own meaning, they don't want to take the initiative to participate in this banquet full of old men's energy. They can't talk with these old antiques. They simply get together to talk about some topics they are interested in. The young people in the Chinese delegation also gathered in a corner to chat by themselves. Luo Xiaonan and Ji Leer, two non-members of the delegation, were also mixed in, wearing decent evening dresses and adding a little mature taste. When Yong Bowen and Yu Chunbing came in, they still waved to them, just considering Yong Bowen is the protagonist of tonight's banquet, so he didn't invite them over.

Yong Bowen tried to bypass the group of young mages and turned to the other side of the table to continue eating. One of the mages casually glanced at Yong Bowen, raised his eyebrows, pulled his companion beside him and pointed to Yong Bowen, and whispered a few words. The companion stared at Yong Bowen for a few times. He said to the people next to him that in the end, the small group of young Japanese mages stared at Yong Bowen, and finally focused their eyes on the central person. Standing in the middle of the group is a tall young man, but at the age of twenty-six or seven, he is handsome and elegant. What's more, he has a red badge on his chest, which is obviously the middle leader of this group of young people. The young man looked at the Chinese mage delegation, and then shook his head. A mage walked over and stopped Yong Bowen and said, "Who are you?" Why don't you bring a badge?"

This Japanese Yong Bowen couldn't understand it. Seeing that the young man rushed over to talk to himself with an unkind face, he looked down at a piece of fish barbecue just carried in the plate and said to himself, "Is this fish roast limited supply?"

The mage is only eighteen or nineteen years old. He is the age when he is young and can't rub sand in his eyes, but he is not brainless. The reason why everyone just looked at the person in the middle, in addition to his high status, is that he has been responsible for receiving the Chinese mage delegation these days and needs him to confirm that Whether an individual is a member of the Chinese mage delegation or not. As soon as he shook his head, he showed that the other party was not from the Chinese mage delegation. Naturally, he would not be the representative of Russia. Nine out of ten were Japanese, about a low-level mage or something. I don't know what identity he came in. Naturally, the little mage could not tolerate this kind of behavior that might humiliate the mage association, and immediately came forward to stop it.

Seeing that Yong Bowen was stunned and speechless, the young mage made his guess and hummed heavily to show his anger. "This is food for guests. How can you eat it? It was found that it was a loss to the face of the whole mage association! Put it down!"

Yong Bowen continued to be at a loss, trying to bring the fish in the plate back to its original position.

The young mage saw that although Yong Bowen put the fish back, he still held the plate as if he wanted to continue to eat. He couldn't help but get angry and grabbed Yong Bowen's plate and put it on the table.

Yong Bowen was very unhappy. He said in his heart that he was not allowed to eat fish or something else? What are you doing robing my plate? But thinking that it was the first time in my life to attend such a high-level banquet, it was a relatively important role. I must behave properly and not humiliate myself. I was embarrassed to pull down and grab the plate, so I had to hold back my anger and turn around and want to leave.

Unexpectedly, the mage refused to give up and waved to the attendant on the side of the banquet. The foreman was also an intermediate mage of the Yebi family, but he had a lower status. He was the general manager of the villa of the Yebi family all year round, but he was also at ease. This time, the banquet was held here, and it was naturally done by his most familiar person. At the position of the waiter-leader, he saw the young mage wacing his hand and ran over quickly. He recognized this little mage. He was a direct disciple of the Jujian family in Kansai. His name was Jujian Xiaoci. The little Cheji was already a senior mage, and his future was unlimited, and he could not be offended.

Kojiro Kikuma pointed to Yong Bowen and said, "That guy over there is a low-level mage who sneaks in. Well... It's not easy for him to come in. Don't drive him away. You arrange it and find something for him to do. Don't let him do nothing, and humiliate the association!"

The foreman answered "hi" and quickly caught up with Yong Bowen and grabbed him.

Yong Bowen looked back. It was a strange face. He was about to ask him something. Unexpectedly, he muttered a lot, and his tone was quite harsh. After saying that, he did not give him a chance to speak, so he picked him up and left. Yong Bowen was confused. He didn't know what was going on. He wanted to ask, but he was afraid of the rules at the banquet. When he opened his mouth and asked, he looked too ignorant and old-fashioned. He was afraid that he would be laughed at and lose the face of the delegation, so he had to shut up and follow him. Now Yongda Tianshi's mentality is almost the same as that of a rich man entering the provincial capital. Obviously, he doesn't know anything new and nothing, but he has to save face. He has to pretend that he knows everything. Don't ask more. Finally, he drinks a bellyful of clear pool soup. As long as Yongda Tianshi opened his mouth and heard that he was speaking in Chinese, the foreman would immediately realize that it was a misunderstanding, and at least he would send him to the Chinese delegation. But now it's okay. He didn't open his mouth. The foreman only thought he was guilty and remembered Kojiro Kikujian's words. He pulled Yong Bowen into the employee's locker room and turned it out. A horse clip was thrown to Yong Bowen and said, "Put it on!" After thinking about it, such an ignorant young man often finds in banquets that although he is a low-level mage, since he dares to do so, there may be a senior mage family behind him. Even if he is a partial child of the family, if he is too offended, I'm afraid it will not be too good. Now The tone softened and he said, "Young man, I understand your mood, but this kind of banquet is not at your level! However, since you come in, it's not easy. If I don't kick you away, you can concentrate on your work and get close to more big shots. As soon as this words turned around, Kikuma Kojiro's arrangement became his kind heart. Unfortunately, this man's mind was in vain. As the so-called charming eyes were thrown to the blind man, Yongda Tianshi didn't understand a word at all. He just saw that this man threw a horse clip and guessed that he let him put it on, so he took off his coat and put it on the horse, but the coat was not willing. You have to put it randomly and lead it in your hand.

Seeing that the young man was already at a loss, the foreman patted him on the shoulder with a smile to ease the atmosphere, took the clothes in his hand, hung it in an empty storage room, stuffed the key, then turned around and led him into the kitchen through the side door, greeted people to take a tray, put on a wine glass, and then pushed it. He walked out of the kitchen.

So Mr. Yong Bowen, a member of the Mages' Association and a great master, returned to the banquet hall as a waiter and holding a wine set.

"What the hell is this? Do you have to be punished as a waiter if you eat a limited supply of food? Is there something wrong?"

Master Yongda has realized that this matter is not right. He turned around and wanted to get back into the kitchen. Someone beside him reached out and picked up a wine glass from his plate. He looked at the man. The man was waiting with an empty wine glass, and his eyes did not fall here. He laughed at the person beside him. Yong Bowen hesitated for a moment and picked up the wine bottle and poured it on the other party. He could have ignored it, but he thought that if the guests would be provocative, he would call people. At that time, this matter would be exposed in the eyes of the public. If he had to mention the pass, his face would be big, his face would be tight, and it would not matter if he poured a glass of wine. But as soon as this pregnancy was poured, another cup was immediately stretched out next to it. Since it was the first one to pour, it doesn't matter to pour another cup. Pour... Another cup stretched out, one or two can also be three, and then pour...

I don't know whether the bottle of wine in his hand is attractive enough or whether the evil spirits in the wine present want to drink it when they see it. In short, the glass handed over is endless. In a short time, Yongda Tianshi has already poured out a bottle of wine. When he looks up again, he doesn't know if I ran to the middle of the party. He wiped his sweat and secretly congratulated that although the wine bottle was delicate, it was not much. He put the empty bottle on the tray, turned around and walked to the kitchen to explain the matter clearly. Who knew that the turn was bumping into a group of people passing behind him. His arm was hit, the wine bottle was dumped, and a little residual wine was spilled on him. On the fat body in front of him, the harsh scolding immediately sounded. Yong Bowen looked up in astonishment, but saw Yu Chengshi's face full of surprise as if he had seen Martians coming to the earth.

There were several old men accompanying Yu Chengshi. The first two of them wore traditional kimonos, which formed a sharp contrast with a suit and dress around them, which also clearly showed the unusual identity of the two. There are a lot of young Japanese mages around. It was the group that Yong Bowen met at the table just now. Kikuma Kojiro was also in the crowd. He was seeing Yong Bowen, a guy who sneaked in, actually sprinkled wine on the distinguished guests.

The two kimono old men accompanying Yu Chengshi are the current presidents and deputy presidents of the Japan Mage Association, Sakuragi Natsumori and Nobi Fujio. Sakuragi Xiasen is white and fat, always with a kind smile on his face. He suddenly looks like the boss of the grocery store next door, not the president of the Japanese Law Association. But in fact, it was the seemingly harmless grocery store owner who finally decided to start a full-scale war with Zhenyanzong.

Sakuragi Xiasen also just arrived. Before the official start, he deliberately accompanied him to meet Yu Chengshi in Nobi Fujio. The two sides had a short but friendly and warm cold noise, that is, it took three minutes to talk nonsense with each other for a long time, and then took two minutes to discuss the lease weapon agreement. On this issue, Yu Chengshi bites to death. You can rent a weapon, but you must rent it together with the weapon user, that is, the mage combat force. Naturally, the Japanese Mage Association will not agree to this condition, but if we continue to talk about it, it is bound to enter a stalemate. After all, tonight is just a banquet to pull the relationship, not a formal negotiation. As the big bosses of both sides, there is no need to talk about those club clauses here. A preliminary understanding of the bottom line of the other party is to complete the task, Sakuragi Xia Sen immediately changed the topic, saying that you have a young master in China, but we also have talents in Japan. We want to introduce the young talents of the Japanese Mage Association to Yu Chengshi, and then call the group of young people at the table. Although these people don't want to chat with antiques, the two antiques are different. Everyone wants to find an opportunity to get close to them. As soon as they hear the call, they will come immediately. Many of them have just watched the fun nearby, hoping to find an opportunity to show their faces in front of the two presidents. After a round of introduction, it was getting late and the banquet was about to officially begin. Sakuragi Xiasen and Yu Chengshi modestly walked to the podium, saying that the podium was just a microphone, and a jazz band was playing music there.

As he was walking, Yong Bowen bumped into him and looked at Yu Chengshi.

It's really embarrassing to meet!

The mage accompanied next to him immediately shouted and asked Yong Bowen to apologize immediately.

Two waitresses nearby immediately ran over when they saw this situation. One pulled away Yong Bowen, and the other took out a handkerchief to wipe the wine stains on Yu Chengshi's body. The three people happened to surround the fish in the center, separated from the people around them.

Yu Chengshi waved his hand with a smile, signaling that he was defenseless, but the next moment, his face changed.

The handkerchief in the waitress's hand suddenly turned into a sharp blade and stabbed Yu Chengshi's heart, and the waitress who pulled Yong Bowen suddenly got her hand back. Her whole arm turned into a long knife and cut Yu Chengshi's neck fiercely.

This change suddenly turned out. It was a bunch of mage masters around, but they were all separated and could not help. Seeing that Yu Chengshi was about to splash blood on the spot, he suddenly heard the word "forgiveness" shouting. Two yellow paper charms flew in the air and collided with the sharp blade that had been cut down. Then he heard two crisp sounds, and the sparks splashed four times. The sharp blade actually cut and couldn't penetrate the two paper charms, but the Yongda Tianshi, who was close at hand, sacrificed the broken gold charm in time to save the fish for a long life.

Yu Chengshi got this chance to breathe and jumped back, and the mages around him would finally react and rush up.

Yong Bowen saved Yu Chengshi and was about to fight against the two female assassins again. Unexpectedly, the wind suddenly blew up behind him and turned out of his palm without thinking. A paper charm shot out of his palm and burst into a fireball in the air, hitting the attacker. The sneaker screamed, fell on his back, covered his burned face and shouted.

There were angry shouts around, and I don't know how many people rushed up to Yongbo.

When Yong Bowen saw that the man was wearing an evening dress, he knew that he had burned the wrong person. He thought that a Japanese mage came up to catch the assassin. For a moment, he misunderstood that he was also an assassin and took action.

This time, it really poked the hornet's nest. When the mages around him saw that their colleagues were burned, they were furious, especially the young elite mages recently, who were even more angry. They rolled their arms and rolled up their sleeves to catch the crazy man who hit the face of the Mage Association in public.

He heard a loud shout, and one person jumped out first, roared at Yong Bowen, and rushed up. Yong Bowen saw that he had seen it. It was the young mage who stopped him from eating fish just now, but he didn't know what it was called.

The mage that Yongda Tianshi doesn't know what to call is naturally Kojiro Kikuma. The young man is now full of regret. He thought it was just a low-level mage who sneaked in to pick up cheap things, but he didn't expect that he was a hidden assassin. He had clearly found that this man's wrong, and even let him continue to stay at the banquet. It is easier to get close to the waiters of all guests, just like assisting the enemy to assassinate. In the current war atmosphere, if he is known about this matter afterwards, he will be treated as a spy. Even if he can finally clear the charges, it will leave a stain under the records of the association. It will be difficult to make progress in the future. . Thinking of this, I was really regretful. At this time, the first one jumped out, and he was holding the idea of killing the assassin. He thought clearly that he would kill him when he came on the stage. Even if someone next to him shouted to keep his mouth alive, he could only take it as a move too fierce.
