Reborn in the StarCraft, I was adopted by the Emperor's uncle

"King?"

Aichi and the others were curious about the mysterious VIP, and Sasha suddenly mentioned this King when she was chatting with Wen Shang.

"Well, I don't know who that orc is. When he came, it was my grandfather who personally led the reception. It looked like a big show."

Wen Shang and Meili looked at each other as if they had thought of something.

Wen Shang lowered her eyes slightly and said, "I have heard of a King in the black market in recent years, but I don't know if the orc you mentioned is this King."

"Black market?" Sasha was surprised.

Meili asked, "Haven't you seen anyone?"

"Well, my father said that the man had a special identity and told me not to ask too much. But I didn't expect that he was actually from the black market."

After saying that, Shasha curled her lips and said, "You are so mysterious. I don't know what you are doing in our house?"

"He only has one orc coming?"

Meili couldn't help but wonder.

Shasha shook her head. "There are more than a dozen orcs here, but the others are not important."

After all, she was born into a noble family, so she has the ability to recognize people.

Meili nodded and said, "It is actually quite beneficial to befriend the black market."

The relationship between the royal family and the black market can never be close no matter what.

After all, there is no room for others to snore on the side of the bed.

"That's what you say, but who knows if the people in the black market will cheat us."

The princess and Meili are still here. Even if Sasha knew that someone in her family wanted to make friends with the black market, she wouldn't say it so bluntly.

But Wen Chang just smiled faintly when he heard this and said, "Being friendly with them and being vigilant against them are not actually contradictory. If I were not a member of the royal family, I would naturally not let go of such an opportunity to be friendly with the black market.

They do have a lot of good stuff, and having a place like this can actually save us a lot of trouble."

Sasha thought for a moment and said, "You're right. At least it's much more convenient for us to buy things that are not available on the market."

When Wen Chang heard her words, a smile flashed in his eyes.

Meili also smiled and thought to herself that Sasha was still as innocent as ever.

The troubles that the princess talked about were not about the inconvenience of buying things, but about the shady things such as the nobles fighting against each other, forming alliances to deal with the royal family, and bullying civilians and orcs.

The existence of the black market is like a parasol for those things, hiding the dark side of the empire under the umbrella so that the impact will not expand to the point where it cannot be controlled.

……

On the other side, as the sky gradually darkened, the people in the study finally stopped talking and walked out of the study together.

"Mr. King, I'll take you there."

Ai Mu restrained the serious expression he had just in the study, and a gentle smile appeared on his face as soon as he came out. He raised his hand and made a "please" gesture.

The male he called "King" responded calmly, then walked in front.

The group walked around the open-air garden where the dance was being held and passed through the corridor at the side, preparing to leave through the front hall.

The noisy and bustling sounds gradually faded away in the background. Seeing that the gate of the manor was not far away, Mr. King suddenly stopped for some reason.

Aimu and others followed Mr. King's gaze and saw two orcs who looked like they were wearing couple outfits standing not far away and chatting.

If King and his men were to go over there, they would certainly alarm the two orcs.

"Who is that?"

King seemed to notice the flash of surprise on Amy's face and couldn't help but ask.

Ai Mu suppressed the shock in his heart and said calmly, "That female is Her Royal Highness the Princess. I think Mr. King should know her. As for the gentleman next to Her Royal Highness the Princess, he is the Secretary General Bai who has just taken office in the Executive Office, Mr. Bai Junxi, the young master of the Bai family."

Wen Chang's live broadcast when she was a child made her presence felt in front of the people of the Empire. Even though she no longer broadcast live for various reasons, her face would be recognized by everyone who had heard of the name of the princess.

King has no feelings towards the princess of the empire. After all, she has not been officially awarded a medal, and the power she holds is not strong enough to make him wary. He just needs to be careful not to offend anyone.

But the young master of the Bai family...

King lowered his eyes, hiding the inquiry in his eyes, then he turned his head to look at Amy and said lightly, "Let's go."

Go over and say hello.

Amy got the implication of his words and frowned slightly, but King had already gone ahead, and even though he disagreed in his heart, he had to follow.

"Good night, Your Highness, Secretary General Bai."

"Good night, Mr. Emma."

Wen Chang and Bai Junxi had already seen them and had been waiting for them to come closer.

Wen Shang didn't know why Bai Junxi came along, but what he said was indeed very right. With him around, Mr. King from the black market might stop and say a few more words.

It also made it convenient for her to observe what kind of person King was.

"Your Highness, did you enjoy the banquet tonight?"

The person who just greeted was Elsa's father, Emma Dekman. Because Wen Shang was the Crown Princess and was invited by his late daughter, Elsa, the first person he greeted was her.

In response to this, Wen Chang's answer was naturally to have fun, and then her eyes fell accurately on King.

The meaning was obvious: she wanted to meet King.

Emma and her father Amy looked at each other, and Amy nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Emma introduced King to Wen Chang, and then he immediately turned the topic to Bai Junxi, "Secretary Bai, you came to our house late at night. I wonder if there is something important that you want to inform us of urgently?"

"Deputy Director Ai, you are joking. What important notice could I have? I have been very busy recently, so I took a small errand to relax. I didn't expect to run into Mr. King here."

At this point, Bai Junxi nodded slightly to King and greeted him, "Mr. King, long time no see."

King raised his eyebrows slightly, "Mr. Bai, have we met before?"

Wen Chang withdrew her gaze from King without leaving a trace and looked at Bai Junxi again.

Bai Junxi raised his gold-rimmed glasses and said with a smile, "Maybe you don't remember, Mr. King, but we did meet once."

King frowned slightly, his eyes fell on Bai Junxi's face, and finally his gaze fixed on his lowered hand, or to be more precise, the ring on his hand.

A scene suddenly flashed through his mind. Although the memory of that time was not very clear, it still stirred up a wave in King's heart.

If he didn't have a good psychological quality, he would have been afraid that something would be exposed right now.

"Mr. King, it's okay if you don't remember."

Bai Junxi's gentle voice came, "After all, it has been too long. It is normal that Mr. King does not recognize me now."

King came back to his senses, and looked at Bai Junxi with a puzzled look in his eyes, "If Secretary Bai hadn't reminded me, I really wouldn't remember that night."

As Bai Junxi said, it had been too long since they met that time.

If what happened at that time had not been so impressive, he would have forgotten that night.

Bai Junxi chuckled, "It's just an ordinary night, just like today. If it weren't for Mr. King, I would have forgotten it long ago."

King said "hmm" calmly.

Although his attitude remained indifferent, Wen Chang somehow sensed that his attitude towards Bai Junxi was better than that towards herself.

Then Ai Mu interrupted them, interrupting their reminiscence. After all, Princess Wen Shang was still alive, and it would be a bit rude to ignore her.

Wen Chang actually wanted to see what else Bai Junxi and King could say to each other, but the people from the Ai family obviously didn't want King to stay here for long. After dealing with Bai Junxi appropriately, they found an excuse to ask Wen Chang to move away.

If she didn't leave, it would be inappropriate for them to send King off in front of her.

After all, no matter what Wen Shang is like, she has the support of His Majesty.

Seeing Sasha being called over by her father, Wen Chang asked Bai Junxi, and then the two of them followed Sasha and left.

She came here to take a look at what King looked like and to get to know him. Now, with the help of Bai Junxi, she has left an impression on the other party, which is already a mission overfulfilled. Naturally, she will have to step down later.

Otherwise, would she have to follow the Ai family to see Mr. King off? Wouldn't that be taking away the main role?

Wen Shang would never do such a brainless thing.
