The spacious hall was illuminated by dazzling amethyst chandeliers, and the smooth, clean marble slabs were set up with a large table for a VIP dinner.
“Your Highness Minise, due to some unforeseen circumstances, I may have to postpone the date again.”
The portly jazzman cut the seared rib steak, his kind face bearing a hint of regret.
"Yes, Miss Minise, we are deeply sorry for your request, but perhaps this is all part of the Holy Lord of Light's arrangement, wishing that people may be free from troubles and suffering, and sing praises to the light."
Beside the jazz, his young and beautiful wife said regretfully, glancing at the distinguished guest across the table, and poured her husband a glass of wine.
But before his wife could fill the bottle, the man glanced at the label on the bottle, his face contorted with rage, and he slapped his wife across the face.
"This is a treasured heirloom from my father's family. How did you come up with this kind of wine!"
"I...I'm sorry, I only brought out this bottle of wine because of our distinguished guest."
The jazz, like a raging lion, scolded his wife a few times, then glanced at Minnie's calm expression, dismissed her, and brought out a fine bottle of wine, of excellent quality, which calmed the jazz's anger somewhat.
"The label features purple grapes from the summit of an iceberg, and the wine is called Lafite. It was a specialty wine of the famous Nordic winemaker Lafite twenty years ago, and it is said that the annual production was less than a hundred bottles."
Minnie thought to herself, her clear gaze falling on Jazz as her cherry lips curved into a smile.
He even has rare Lafite wine; this knight is living a pretty comfortable life, yet he dares to deny it in front of her.
"Your Highness, is the taste of this steak not to your liking? Would you like me to get you a different one?"
The jazz officer looked at the unmoving steak in front of Minnie's table and said obsequiously.
“It suits my taste perfectly, Sir Rice. You’ve put a lot of thought into this, but I feel it’s necessary to show it to you.”
Minise smiled and gestured to the servant beside her to bring out an agreement, which she handed to the knight who had put down his knife and fork.
"Your Highness Minise, what... what is this?"
As soon as Jazz opened the agreement, the words "land title" and "transfer" on the homepage made his pupils shrink, and he looked at Minnie in disbelief.
"As you can see, that is, after all, a huge sum of thirty gold wolves. My mother had an accident, so I had to retrieve it myself."
Minnie ruffled a strand of hair that had fallen across her chest and said helplessly, "But it's clear, Sir Rice, that you don't have enough money to cover this debt. What a pity."
Thirty gold wolves, converted into silver coins, is a huge sum of thirty thousand silver coins!
This staggering amount represents three years of the Tulip Family's profits.
"Smack!"
After he finished speaking, Sir Rice's glass of wine fell to the ground.
He couldn't believe that the best solution would have been to use his privileges to improve his status within the family and compete for the right to succeed as the next patriarch.
This is also why Sir Rice is so fearless.
Does she really think she can completely digest all of his possessions without leaving any hidden dangers?
In fact, he has many powerful forces behind him, and even the head of the Tulip family, Minnie's father, does not dare to touch him.
"Third Miss!"
"Sir Lyme, I also feel deeply sorry, but after all, this is the wealth left to me by my mother. When the time comes, I must obey my mother and take it back immediately. It is truly a pity."
Minnie opened her beautiful eyes with a hint of regret, which, in Sir Rice's eyes, was no less than the mockery of a victor towards a loser.
It's hard to imagine that Sir Lyme, a renowned and debonair gentleman from Titan City, would be so embarrassed in front of the Third Lady.
"call out!"
When Sir Rice saw that the other party was determined to harm him, he unleashed his magical power, revealing his hidden Silver-rank combat strength!
However, the guard on one side was faster. A dagger flashed from his waist, conjuring a dazzling starry sky and condensing into a star sword. In an instant, it pierced Sir Rice's inner armor, and blood splattered!
"No, Your Highness, please, I beg you to give me another chance, for the sake of the Norse gods!"
"I apologize once again, Sir Lyme, but I worship the spirit gods who revere nature."
Minise squinted, her eyes curving into crescents, and turned around, ignoring Sir Rice being dragged by Blood Raven, and signed the transfer agreement on the table.
Then, she stood up, breathed a sigh of relief, untied the purple silk, and let her long, cascading hair fall down, partially concealing her slender and tall figure.
"How boring!"
With her bright eyes as clear and sparkling as the moon, Minnie put on the coat presented by the guards after finishing her business with Sir Rice.
"I'm going to the balcony for a bit."
Minnie lifted her skirt and went to the balcony.
Midway through the dinner, the commotion outside piqued Minnie's interest.
What's happening down there?
"Third, Third Miss!"
The guard observing the commotion from the balcony was slightly startled and reported, "It's a dispute between a weasel and a crocodile. I guess it'll be the same as before; they'll just argue for a bit and then disperse."
Upon hearing this, Minnie looked up at the balcony and saw a glimpse of cherry-gold hair, sparkling and dazzling. Perhaps it was fate, but she spotted Xiao Han drinking beer and eating a late-night snack.
Minnie was on the seventh floor, while Xiao Han's balcony was on the fifth floor.
After all, Xiao Han's bright and beautiful hair color was exceptionally eye-catching when viewed from upstairs at night.
"Oh~"
Minise suddenly smiled, waved for the guards to leave, and looked at the little fox opposite her with great interest in her bright green eyes, as if it was cursing and swearing with its companion.
