Chapter 116 Dinner

When the "Emperor" appeared in front of everyone, it meant that the ball officially started.

The melodious music, the dancing crowd, and the various fine wines and delicacies placed next to it are almost no different from the banquets held by the upper class before the disaster.

The only regret is that there is no orchestra to perform live performances here, but some music can only be played through speakers, which is a bit uncomfortable.But this little discomfort is not a problem in the big environment.

Of course, dancing is indispensable at the ball, and soon amidst the sound of music, young people who couldn't hold back began to "hook up" each other and invite each other to step onto the dance floor.They were a little restrained at first, but soon, as more and more people gathered, the atmosphere became more and more lively.

Fei Lun didn't join in, he just sat leisurely in the corner, tasting delicious food while stroking the black cat in his arms.For such a ball, the Big Seven would not go off in person. After all, they are too prestigious in the Ninth District, and those who are qualified to enter the dance scene have basically experienced and understood the power and fear of the Big Seven. People dancing together, I'm afraid they will jump out of their guts while dancing.At that time, everyone will not be able to play well, and they will not be able to enjoy themselves. This is obviously not the original intention of the Blackstone Group to hold a dance party.

"Aren't you planning to go down for a dance?"

Holding the wine glass, the old man walked up to Fei Lun and stared at him with a half-smile.And Fei Lun turned the scalpel in his hand, cut a slice of ham and put it in his mouth.

"Not interested, and I can't dance."

"Actually, it doesn't matter. There are not many people here."

While speaking, the "emperor" looked at the noisy dance floor in front of him. As he said, the hobby of dancing can be regarded as a luxury for people after the end of the world.Most of the men and women on the dance floor can only take the simplest step or two, but it doesn't matter.Anyway, dancing, as long as the dancer is in a happy mood, and regardless of gender, most people are concerned about things after dancing, so dancing itself is even more unimportant to them.

"You did a good job this time."

After a while, the "emperor" spoke.

"They don't say anything, but you know, they all think you've done a good job... Well, it would be better if you could be more lenient..."

Hearing the old man's complaint, Fei Lun just smiled and said nothing.And the old man didn't seem to care, he just held the wine glass, looked at everything in front of him, and then heaved a long sigh.

"To be honest, I don't like this kind of dance very much. Whenever this kind of time comes, I think, what a ridiculous creature human beings are. You see, we lived like this before the disaster, but now, we change Now, the world has also changed, but human beings want to return to their original lives... Don't you think this is ridiculous?"

As he spoke, the old man spread his hands.

"I mean... look, humans have developed over thousands of years, from cavemen with nothing to civilized people in suits and ties, from wielding sticks to making weapons that can destroy everything. But human beings Desires never seem to change, food, survival, women...well, I admit that maybe in the distant future, human beings will become something else, but it is also possible that they will never change. Originally, I thought that this great crisis Catastrophes may change humanity, but many times, I find to my dismay that unless humanity is destroyed, we will always follow a repetitive spiral path."

"You're stressing me out by talking like that."

Until this time, Fei Lun shrugged his shoulders.

"All creatures are the same, nothing is exceptional. After so many years of evolution, the panda is not only cute. The mouse has made a hole for a lifetime, and it will still be the same in the next life. All creatures on the earth are following They survive according to their own rules, and it doesn't make sense for humans to be an accident. You see..."

As he spoke, Feren stretched out his hand, and the sharp scalpel quickly cut into a piece of steak next to him.

"For me, there is not much difference between this steak and a human. For me, the biggest problem is whether it can be eaten and whether it is delicious. Other than that, I am not I am very concerned. So old man, you don’t need to think so much. If you are really worried, just try to live a few more years, maybe you can see a different future.”

"maybe………"

Facing Fei Lun's words, the old man let out a long sigh.

"Hey, this damn weather is really depressing. To be honest, I feel uncomfortable when I see the dark sky now. Even if it's just once, I really want to see the blue sky The sky, not the ghostly cloudy weather it is now."

Speaking of this, the old man seemed to feel that the topic was too heavy, so he couldn't help but shook his head with a smile, and then looked at Faerun.

"By the way, where are your three subordinates? I heard that they are all very nice women. You didn't bring them up? Aren't you afraid that the group of green-eyed wolves down there will do something to them? Although we The reputation of the Seven Giants is very useful, but some people will die if they see a woman?"

"do not worry."

Facing the old man's words, Fei Lun showed a smug smile.

"After all, they are also women born in the wilderness. If they can't even handle this little thing, then they have lived for so long in vain. But old man... I have something to tell you."

Having said this, a dignified look appeared on Fei Lun's face.

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Hearing what Fei Lun said, the "Emperor" also seemed a little surprised. He has known Fei Lun for so long, and he has never seen Fei Lun report anything to him—the seven giants are not affiliated with each other. Fei Lun wants to Of course, they have no right to ask what to do.And now that Feilun actually wanted to tell him something, it naturally made the old man full of curiosity.

"You actually have something to tell me. This is the most surprising gift the old man has received over the years. Come on, could it be that you want me to help you? If that's the case, I'll go and get the 'butcher' right now." 'They called them to discuss together, you see, the power of many people..."

At this moment, the old man completely lost the helpless and gloomy feeling before. Instead, he was smiling all over his face, looking gloating.It's no wonder that, as the most unrestricted of the seven giants, Phelan always makes them feel headaches and envy. If they can seize an opportunity to hurt him, then others will definitely not miss this good opportunity.However, Fei Lun obviously did not intend to cooperate with the "Emperor"'s taunt, but stared at the dance floor below, and then spoke.

"Next, I'm going to leave District [-] for a while."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, the "emperor" couldn't help being taken aback, and then immediately discovered the problem.In the past, Fei Lun often ran away without saying hello.But right now, he actually brought up such a topic on purpose. Could it be... is there any difference this time?

"How long will you be away?"

"I don't know, it might be short, or it might be long..."

Fei Lun didn't say an exact time, but he knew very well that if the mysterious girl had something to do with the cataclysm, then he probably wouldn't return to District Ninth again.This is not the place where Fei Lun was born. Strictly speaking, he only lived in the ninth district for a few years, but it has to be admitted that the ninth district does give Fei Lun a good feeling.Therefore, he didn't mind leaking some information to the old man.

"Have you decided?"

As an elder, the "emperor" has experienced many things, so he quickly noticed the deep meaning hidden in Faerun's words.

"I don't know what you're going to do, but...forget it, good luck, I'll keep your room forever. But I hope you can get your troubles done quickly, otherwise if you make a few troubles In ten years, when the old man dies when you come back, you won’t be able to find someone you know to help you, okay?”

"Don't worry, at that time, I will naturally have my way."

"...I hope you don't use your method..."

Hearing Fei Lun's answer, the "Emperor"'s face froze for a moment, then returned to normal, then he smiled slightly, then raised his chin, and nodded downward.

"But now, I think you seem to have other troubles to solve..."

"Oh?"

Looking in the direction indicated by the "Emperor", Fei Lun quickly saw, not far away, a young man in luxurious clothes holding a young girl's hand and leading her out of the hall.

"Young people are so romantic, they are really drunk and dreamy, people are enviable... Don't you plan to do something?"

"not going to."

Watching the backs of the two disappear into the corridor, Ferren shrugged his shoulders, and then refocused on the dinner plate in front of him.

"They know what to do. Also, please bring me another char-grilled steak."
