Chapter 1825 - 956: Birthday Gift
Chapter 1825: Chapter 956: Birthday Gift
The Berkeley Building is brightly lit, its magnificent structure resembling a giant cruise ship shimmering with light at night, spanning the Seventh District of the Central Royal City.
The revolving restaurant at the top floor is not accessible from other floors; you can’t take an elevator from the ground floor and must arrive by air car, landing on the parking platform with permission.
At this moment, on the rooftop of the Berkeley Building, social elites are arm-in-arm with their partners for the night.
Duke Wend, in his fifties, is not as repulsive as imagined. He is actually quite tall at 1.87 meters and looks urbane, his hair slicked back giving him a spirited appearance. He wears a tuxedo, exchanging pleasantries with familiar elites.
"You’re going to kill him?!" Black Spider asked Qing Chen in shock.
When she brought the birthday cake back, she was hoping for a quiet birthday celebration.
But a working person must have the awareness of a working person. Even if you’ve found hope in life, even if you wish for a birthday celebration with the robot girl and the boss, when the boss says it’s time to carry out a task, you must set aside all plans.
It’s just that her mood was a bit down.
Ever since Black Spider bought that dress, she decided to abandon her past self. So when Qing Chen asked her to play Marquis Winston’s partner, she felt a bit disappointed, thinking everything would change, but actually nothing had.
Yet, at that moment, she suddenly realized that Qing Chen hadn’t actually forgotten her birthday.
When Black Spider saw Duke Wend, she immediately understood that this would be her birthday gift for this year.
Ever since her mother’s suicide, she hadn’t received a birthday gift, and it’s such a special birthday gift.
No wonder the other party had to choose this day to execute the task.
Qing Chen smiled and said, "If you speak a little louder, everyone will know I’m going to kill him."
Black Spider felt a bit overwhelmed, unlike her former self as the Executioner of the Arbiter Organization.
She lowered her voice and said, "Duke Wend has bodyguards beside him, both are A-Class Genetic Warriors... I’m not saying you can’t kill them, but you certainly won’t be able to kill them quietly, right? And this place is the Central Royal City, there’s a Drama Master watching him; if you make a move, the Drama Master will certainly come."
The Drama Master is the most crucial obstacle.
Those Drama Masters have a God’s perspective locked on every marquis, and the moment you take action, it will be immediately sensed.
Qing Chen can kill Duke Wend, but what about after killing him?
Black Spider had long wanted to kill this Duke Wend, who had violated her mother, but she knew she couldn’t do it.
Qing Chen smiled and said, "That’s not something you should worry about."
Black Spider asked, "Then what am I supposed to do? Actually, tonight I also have an insider at this banquet, I just saw her."
"No, you don’t have to do anything tonight," Qing Chen said.
Black Spider suddenly whispered, "Thank you."
"No no no," Qing Chen shook his head, "I’m not doing this for you."
"Ah?" Black Spider was stunned for a moment.
"Duke Wend is just a fitting target," Qing Chen said, "The most important thing is, tonight I want to see a token of loyalty."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qing Chen turned to Winston and said, "Are you ready?"
Black Spider was shocked, realizing that Qing Chen wanted Winston’s token of loyalty tonight!
But when did the boss start infiltrating the Roosevelt Kingdom?!
How was this done?
But it didn’t matter, and Black Spider didn’t intend to dwell on all this anymore. Whatever the boss asked her to do, she would just do it.
And whether Qing Chen admits it’s for her or not, it no longer mattered.
Winston took a deep breath and said, "Ready."
"Then let’s go, be natural," Qing Chen said with a smile.
Black Spider got out of the car, taking Winston’s arm, and this time it was utterly natural, completely different from before.
Qing Chen followed behind the two, like a real entourage.
Winston smiled and whispered, "How should I address you, ma’am?"
Black Spider brushed her hair back and whispered with a full smile, "I’m the boss’s person; do your job, don’t ask questions you shouldn’t ask."
Winston: "..."
At this moment, Duke Wend actually walked over to them, and Winston bowed humbly, "Hello."
Duke Wend’s gaze lingered on Black Spider’s face, "Who is this lady?"
Even though Black Spider had disguised herself, she still couldn’t hide her beauty. Moreover, after the disguise, Black Spider looked even more like her mother.
It’s said Duke Wend’s aesthetic is rather singular, as even his female companion bears some resemblance to Black Spider’s mother.
Qing Chen initially worried that seeing her enemy would make Black Spider visibly angry, causing her to slip up, but Black Spider was very calm, smiling, and said, "Jennifer."
"Miss Jennifer, may I have this dance later?" Duke Wend ignored Marquis Winston beside him and invited Black Spider.
Black Spider smiled and looked at Winston, "Can I?"
Winston, as a marquis at the bottom of the ranking, smiled humbly, "Since it’s an invitation from Duke Wend, of course you can."
Everyone started moving inside, while Qing Chen and other attendants remained outside.
To ensure the privacy of the private banquet, the whole restaurant had its sunshades lowered, and the attendants stayed outside the main entrance to prevent anyone from sneaking in to secretly photograph the debauched life of the upper class.
