Chapter 568 My Neighbor Mr. Ranch

After the first war between the vampires and the demons, the two sides signed the "North-South Treaty". The demons then experienced unprecedented economic prosperity, and the demon industry developed rapidly, which promoted the rise of engineering construction and consumerism.

In this era, many demons have gained huge wealth and high status through investment and trade, and it is not impossible for them to become nouveau riche or rise to fame overnight.

Just like the sudden appearance of Rocky McCarthy, it is not so difficult for the demons to guess. It can only be said that it is normal. Maybe the next Rocky McCarthy may appear next year.

Of course, the reason why this restaurant quickly became famous is not only because McCarthy himself has an extremely deep magic vein in Naikaris and seems to be on good terms with many ministers, but also because of a unique limited dish called Earl's Blood Sauce.

It is a bright red pudding that is said to have magical powers that can make demons addicted.

In the demon world, a chef who can make food with added magical effects has a status no less important than that of a magic craftsman.

The dish of Earl's Blood Sauce can even permanently increase one's physical strength after consuming a certain amount for the first time.

As a result, it gradually became a hard-to-find dish in this restaurant.

Many demons want to replicate McCarthy's path to success, but they have no clue how to do it.

"A demon told me that he had killed many of his own kind."

A burst of conversation brought Lysandra back to reality.

Lisandra suddenly felt a chill, because she knew that these demons were talking about the owner of the palace restaurant, Rocky McCarthy.

She had already followed her old classmate, the blonde noble lady Tia, and stood beside the demon men and women. Soon, under the introduction of Miss Tia, she completed the introduction to the surrounding demon shadows.

This is the real aristocratic circle of the royal capital Nakalis. People like Lissandra can only stammer that she is a descendant of the ancient great demon Duke Pukri, to cover up the fact that she actually "sneaked in" because she lived next door, and is not a genuine VIP member of this restaurant.

Unlike the timid Lysandra, the demon noble next to her leaned forward, eager to hear the details about the restaurant owner.

"I don't think that's the case."

The eldest daughter, Tia, said hesitantly, "He is more likely a spy during the war."

As the cousin of the Demon World General Lei Mingqing, she could probably see that many of the restaurant employees had military qualities. She didn't believe that McCarthy had no connection with the Demon World Army.

She had explored the restaurant several times before and asked all the demons she knew, but she didn't get any clues about McCarthy.

This ghostly presence only reminded her of the professional senior spy her cousin had mentioned.

A demon gentleman nodded in agreement, took a breath, and then lowered his voice:

"I heard about this from the demons. Some demons know a little about him. He seems to have just returned from the border. He has the seal of an orc city-state family. Even after the war, he seems to have been lurking in the human kingdom and the blood clan kingdom, doing business along the way and making a fortune in another way."

He swore solemnly that his gossip was accurate.

"Oh, no."

The girl's retort drew Lisandra's face to the other side again. "How could he be a spy during the war? Because he was studying at the Purgatory Corridor Academy during the war. I have heard from many demons that Rocky McCarthy studied at the cruel and prestigious Purgatory Corridor Academy."

She added excitedly, seeing that the young nobles were beginning to be inclined to believe her.

"But I also believe that sometimes you can tell from the expressions that the employees of this restaurant inadvertently reveal. I bet he must have killed many demons."

She narrowed her eyes and shuddered just from gossiping to herself.

Lysandra also shuddered involuntarily.

As they chatted, all the demons around couldn't help but use their free time to try to find the figure of Rocky McCarthy, the rumored owner of the Chinese restaurant, in the magnificent hall.

However, no clues were obtained.

He could be downstairs, he could be upstairs, he could be any demon they saw.

No one knows what demon race he is, whether he is young or old, handsome or mediocre.

Even those demons who usually talk to each other have to whisper when they mention McCarthy in the restaurant, which makes them believe how mysterious the demon is.

"No matter what, we should be able to see McCarthy's true face in the palace at the royal ceremony in a week."

Finally, a noble said this with regret.

Given McCarthy's current connections in the royal capital, Naikaris, there is a high probability that he will be invited.

Many of the celebrities gathered here were able to attend, and it was unlikely that McCarthy, who had hosted them all, would not be able to attend.

Perhaps that would be Rocky McCarthy's first public appearance.

Before that, he might have been in this palace, just walking past you, but you couldn't even notice him.

"The premise is that Mr. McCarthy is willing to participate. Perhaps for him, a mere princess is nothing to behold."

The blond noble lady Tia spread her hands.

"Lisandra, how pretty is the princess? Can she charm McCarthy?"

She looked at her little follower Lysandra and asked.

"Well, it's very beautiful..."

Lysandra replied.

She understood what Tia meant. After all, the princess had neither rank nor power. As a bird in a cage with the nature of a work of art, perhaps the only thing that attracted men was her beauty.

"But a demon like McCarthy has seen all kinds of female demons. It's impossible for him to go there just to see the princess. The princess is not that beautiful."

While Lisandra was silent, a demon beside her quickly retorted.

The only ones who can take the princess away are the great demons.

And McCarthy is obviously not a big demon.

The rest of the demons were there as witnesses, participating in this rare and lively scene, and at most they just took a look at the princess' current appearance.

"really……"

Lysandra thought about it and could only nod.

If McCarthy really was a lustful man who coveted the princess's beauty, it would disillusion all the demons who were curious about him.

After standing and communicating for more than ten minutes on the second floor of the restaurant, the first dinner was almost over.

Of course there is a second show after midnight.

Tia invited Lisandra to go to the dining table in the open-air garden on the second floor, where the young demons were sitting together.

The moon climbed higher, and a row of silver sands hung in the endless night sky above the bay. The sound of the harp was so pleasant that it seemed as if the midsummer breeze could flow with it.

It was more spacious here, and she could clearly see how big McCarthy's manor was. The sofas on both sides of the dining table were more comfortable to sit on, and the smell of alcohol was not as strong as inside the room, making Lisandra feel her breathing smoother.

Even outside, you can hear the musical opera being performed in the restaurant like a show. Champagne is bubbling in slender glasses and is brought by waiters to each guest, making crisp clinking sounds.

The next table was not so lively. There was only a demon with pure white horns and stripes.

Further away, there was also laughter.

"Tomorrow is the day when the royal family will receive the vampire envoy, Count Sergio. Don't sleep too late today or you will miss it."

The sound of conversation echoed in the wide open square on the second floor.

The demons who could come to this restaurant basically knew what the guests at those distant tables were discussing.

The blood clan delegation arrived at the Demon Realm early, apparently because a blood clan earl disappeared near the Demon Realm a few days ago.

The blood clan highly suspected that the demons had violated the "North-South Agreement" and attacked the earl.

The demons who have the power to subdue the vampire lord are now almost all gathered in the Demon City Nakaris.

Now, Count Sergio, the vampire investigator, is going to use magic in the royal capital of Nakalis to thoroughly investigate for clues about the murderer.

No matter where the missing count is hidden, or how many times he has been sealed, any demon that has come into contact with the blood of the vampires recently will be sensed by the vampire detective Count Sergio.

"Assuming that the person who hurt the vampire count is a powerful demon, once he is accused, it will probably cause a serious diplomatic crisis."

The demon sitting at Lisandra's table sighed.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Upon hearing this, she nodded silently like a transparent person.

For matters of this level, the vampire envoy, Count Sergio, openly visited the king of the demon world, that is, the princess, and Lord Fallen, as a minister, was only there to protect the princess's safety.

Zhuiluo Qing was also very clever in pushing this trouble to the princess, letting the princess act as a shield.

Because if the real person in power, Zhuiluo Qing, handles it, the problem will become more troublesome.

The nobles at the same table maintained a relatively dignified demeanor, enthusiastically discussing the major events of the demon world. They consciously represented their families and were quite friendly towards Lisandra, who was also able to come here.

At this time, Lisandra also began to feel dizzy.

She had already drunk two large glasses of wine, and the scene before her eyes gradually became blurry.

But she was also worried that if she overslept tomorrow, she would be late.

Perhaps it was because of this event that caused the restaurant to close late tonight that McCarthy, as a neighbor, invited her to participate as compensation.

"If the princess of the blood clan can handle the trouble well tomorrow, her prestige may become quite strong, but if she fails to handle it well, she will successfully prove that she is a useless vase."

The blonde noble lady Tia mentioned the princess again.

"In fact, those who understand will understand. Most of the demons have no expectations of her tomorrow. If she deserves this position, Lord Zhuiluo would not have pushed her to the front to block the vampire envoy like a duck on a shelf."

The other demons also agreed.

Lysandra tightened her grip on her glass.

This is the third time.

Although it's true.

But Lysandra always felt that Miss Tia was very hostile to the princess.

If we really talk about noble bloodline, Tia can't compare to the princess.

"I think the princess is a very good demon."

Lysandra hung her head and muttered word by word, "Your cousin, Lord Lei Ming, has to be chosen by the princess before he can win. Although you say she is not worthy, she can indeed choose. The princess is qualified to choose, but you are not qualified to choose your cousin."

Perhaps she was drunk and just told the truth. This time she didn't want to join Tia's smile.

The atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment.

The sofa beside the table suddenly became quiet.

They all stared at Lysandra and Tia in surprise.

But Miss Tia didn't say much.

She tried hard to maintain the dignity and composure that belonged to aristocrats.

But with the subtle effect of alcohol, the emotions that she had buried deep in her heart seemed difficult to conceal, and her eyes began to be covered with a layer of mist.

She gradually grabbed the hem of her skirt with one hand and began to cry.

This reaction confused Lysandra.

The other demons around knew about it.

Because Tia just wanted Lord Lei Ming to lose, and didn't want her cousin to be taken away by a woman she had never met.

And Lysandra's words were too offensive for Tia.

"I can, what to do."

Tia's tears slid gently down her perfect face, drop by drop. Her hands trembled slightly, and the wine in the glass swayed slightly.

Although she was still beautiful at this moment, her fragility and grievance seemed extremely fragile in the quiet night.

She knew that their family needed a princess, and she also knew that she didn't want her cousin to win, but she couldn't tell her cousin, otherwise she would appear ignorant and would hold back their family and her cousin.

"I, I, I, I didn't mean that. I didn't know you actually..."

Lysandra was at a loss for a moment.

She hadn't seen her old classmate Tia for many years, and didn't know that Tia was jealous of the princess because she liked her cousin Lei Mingqing.

She knew how to deal with demons like the princess, who appeared weak on the outside but was strong on the inside. But when she suddenly faced a woman like Tia, who appeared tough on the outside but was fragile on the inside, she felt that everything she said would be inappropriate.

Just as Lysandra was panicking.

"Miss, do you need help?"

A calm and gentle voice sounded behind them.

Their neighboring table was also filled with a male demon, whose horns seemed like a white jade exoskeleton, glowing with a faint light.

In the demon world, there were very few demons with light attributes, or demons as beautiful as him, especially his emerald green eyes.

Looking closely, I found that there was a short girl sitting next to him, sleeping on his arm.

So he just stood still.

Now that the little girl was fast asleep, he finally laid her gently on the sofa and let her sleep on her stomach.
