The air on a cold winter night is always bleak and merciless.

But tonight, the chill is even more rampant.

Viktor's appearance drew the attention of many people who were standing at the door.

Feeling the cold whirlwind coming towards them, the previously noisy venue fell silent.

It was as if a chill had seeped into my bones, and the surrounding atmosphere gradually turned cold.

All the nobles stood motionless, their wine glasses raised, cold sweat beading on their foreheads.

Kokot was sitting on a cloud outside the carriage, comfortably enjoying the cool breeze.

Suddenly, she felt an even colder wind blow across her body, causing her to shiver involuntarily.

Coming to her senses, she looked in the direction of the chilling aura.

As his gaze swept across the entrance to the banquet hall, Cocotte's eyes lit up.

Isn't that Viktor?

Upon seeing Viktor, Kokot lay prone on the cloud.

He then drooped half his body off the roof of the carriage, head upside down, and looked out the window at Lia, who was sitting inside the carriage, and said:

"Lialia, look over there."

Liya, who was still sitting in the carriage, was not in a good mood.

His brows were furrowed, and he seemed somewhat anxious.

After all, Viktor still hadn't arrived, and Lia thought he had stood her up again.

But hearing what Cocotte said, she was still a little curious and looked in the direction Cocotte was gesturing.

That familiar black trench coat immediately caught her eye.

This startled Lia slightly, and she narrowed her eyes to examine it carefully.

Yes, it's confirmed.

It's Victor.

After all, only Victor would like to appear in an old-fashioned black trench coat in a scene like today.

but……

"Why didn't he come to me? He just went there himself."

Lia found it strange, and following Victor's gaze, she realized that something was amiss.

He was standing in front of Gwen at that moment.

And in front of him, there seemed to be another person standing there, who looked somewhat familiar.

Lia frowned slightly and looked at it carefully for a while.

Ah, I remember now.

Isn't this the head of the Leiser family?

"Are the Leather family members having another episode?"

After all, this wasn't the first or second time that the Raiser family members had acted up; it started with Professor Devon and then with Jess.

It seems like each of the three of them, father and sons, has to provoke Viktor before they'll be satisfied.

At that moment, Kokot's voice came from the roof of the car, relaxed and at ease:

"Victor is here, should we go over now?"

"Um……"

Lia rested her hands on the car window, gently brushed her hair aside, and looked with interest in the direction where Victor was.

While watching, he said:

"No rush, let's see what Viktor wants to do first."

Victor isn't the type to pick fights easily.

If Viktor really got to that point, it's clear he must have felt there was something wrong with the other party.

Meanwhile, the area in front of the banquet hall was completely silent.

Victor's gaze remained indifferent, as if he were staring at Riboult without a trace of emotion.

The atmosphere was particularly heavy and cold.

Despite the atmosphere, Riboot still smiled as he looked at Victor in front of him.

The nobles dared not speak and could only watch helplessly as the two men confronted each other.

They looked at Victor, then turned to look at Lipoort.

Few people present were unaware of the feud between the Raiser and Clavenna families.

Both of them are prominent figures, and whoever they are, they wield immense influence.

Clearly, at this point, the most important thing at this banquet is no longer the elves.

How to prevent the two from arguing.

After all, if a fight really breaks out, they can't say for sure what will happen to Ripoultry.

Victor might just blow up the whole banquet hall.

To ease the tense atmosphere before the banquet, the nobles took the initiative to speak to Ripoulter:

“Mr. Lipoulter, I think you’d better get checked out.”

“Indeed, Mr. Lipoulter, today’s situation is special.”

Today's banquet is very important, and the most important thing is to protect the elves who have appeared in the banquet hall.

After all, the elves absolutely cannot be harmed in any way, or they will incur the wrath of nature.

Therefore, no one is allowed to bring weapons or dangerous items that may contain magic into the banquet hall.

The other nobles also understood this principle and had cooperated with the knights to complete the security check.

So when Gwen came out to intercept Ribould, no one around her made a sound.

After all, Gwen was not only the Knight Commander of the Imperial Knights, but also a high-ranking Earl.

Her status within the empire was not low; generally, few people could reach her level.

In addition, Gwen not only has this identity, but she is also Victor's fiancée.

This relationship alone is enough to keep everyone silent.

Although today's banquet was funded by the Raiser family, rules are rules after all.

At that moment, Lipoulter's gaze shifted past Victor and toward Gwen behind him.

By this time, Riboot, who had come to his senses, finally noticed Gwen's unusual behavior.

No wonder he just made that rude and low-level mistake.

The light of justice emanating from this female knight was as dazzling as the blazing sun, making it difficult to look directly at her.
