Chapter 346 Cassiopeia’s banquet begins
“You just want to pick up my sister?”
As the crisp words fall, there will suddenly be tension between Huo Jixing and Catalina There was a slightly awkward atmosphere.
Although the two have a mutual affection for each other, their relationship is still in its infancy and has not been made public to the public.
Huo Jixing heard the news and went out, and behind Catalina, a charming woman wearing a green dress appeared.
His skin was as white as snow, his long hair cascaded down his shoulders, and his eyes shone with a cunning light.
Tall and sexy, she is almost the same as Catalina, and her appearance also has a somewhat similar charm.
Huo Jixing had doubts in his heart, and there was no information about the charming woman in front of him in his memory.
The woman in green seemed to be quite interested in Huo Jixing, so she deliberately leaned over and spoke softly.
“I said Katarina knows how to dress herself up, you look very good.”
"Cassiopeia!"
Katerina spoke in a deep voice, a coldness appearing between her eyebrows.
She didn't like Cassiopeia's frivolous appearance, which was inconsistent with the upbringing of the Du Cacao family.
When Cassiopeia saw Caterina's cold face, her eyes flickered, and she regretted her behavior just now.
"Sorry, Sister Catalina." She apologized in a low voice.
It can be seen that the relationship between Caterina and Cassiopeia is somewhat estranged and they do not look like biological sisters.
"Wait, Cassiopeia?"
Huo Jixing frowned, realizing that something was wrong.
In the memory of her previous life, Cassiopeia was a predator with the shape of a poisonous snake, known as the Embrace of the Demonic Serpent.
But there is no way to connect with the charming woman in front of me.
And he also noticed that Cassiopeia looked like a human woman, not a predator in the shape of a poisonous snake.
"Is the current Cassiopeia before she became the Embrace of the Demonic Serpent?"
Huo Jixing's heart moved, and he looked at Cassiopeia, his thoughts rising. .
"It's okay, is this your sister?" He said softly.
Looking at Cassiopeia’s sincere attitude, Catalina felt the coldness in her heart ease a little.
"Well, she's my sister. She just came back from Shurima."
Huo Jixing nodded slightly and introduced himself: "I'm Huo Jixing, um"
Him He glanced at Catalina and continued to speak.
"It's your sister's friend."
Since Catalina hasn't made a decision yet, he will not forcefully confirm the relationship.
He needed to think about Katarina.
Because behind her is the Du Cecao family, which is highly respected in the Noxus Empire.
“Well, hello, I’m Cassiopeia.”
Casiopeia is the youngest and youngest member of the Noxian noble family Du Cecao. Beautiful daughter.
She began to show a keen mind and clever wit from a very early age.
But she was never recognized by General Du Cecao, so she could only follow in her mother's footsteps and go to the continent of Shurima.
Huo Jixing nodded slightly, took Catalina to the banquet corner, and introduced Wilson and Captain Ben Farong.
As for Cassiopeia, she stayed where she was, looking at the backs of Catalina and Huo Jixing as they left, and turned around slowly.
Affected by the reputation of General Du Cecao, Cassiopeia enjoyed the privileges and development space of the Noxian nobles from birth, and also had her own special circle.
The corner of Huo Jixing's eye was always focused on Cassiopeia with vigilance.
If he remembered correctly, Cassiopeia was a member of the Black Rose.
So, beneath the seemingly weak appearance, there are fangs like poisonous snakes.
In Huo Jixing's mind, fragmentary memories of his previous life gradually emerged.
General Du Cecao before disappearing was the hero who led Noxus to expand to Shurima. He had a distinguished status and a respected position.
Even Brown Darkwill, the dim-witted former Lord of Noxus, respected him.
Therefore, under such circumstances, Cassiopeia was influenced by her mother and joined the secret society - the Black Rose.
Under the guidance of her mother, Cassiopeia grew into an extremely beautiful, cunning, and intelligent young woman.
The only thing missing may be sympathy!
In her eyes, everyone around her is a tool that can be used to achieve a goal and should be discarded after use.
Later, Cassiopeia took advantage of the powerful power of the Du Cacao family to enter the more secretive interior of the Black Rose and participated in many plans.
But all this changed after Swain launched a coup and obtained the leadership position of the empire. Because the Du Cacao family turned to Swain and the Trifali Council.
The situation of Cassiopeia in Black Rose became a little worse.
Because of Du Quecao's surname, she and her mother were subject to a lot of suspicion in Black Rose.
Even if they complete many missions, they cannot dispel everyone's suspicion.
"What does it mean to come back from Shurima and then appear at the warlords' gathering?"
Huo Jixing was talking softly to Wilson while thinking about the reason why Cassiopeia appeared here.
“Is it because she wants to fight for the control of the Du Kecao family?”
“But she is a ‘nameless’ second daughter, why should she be called the one with the unknown blade? Catalina fights for it.”
Huo Jixing thought thoughtfully, thinking of the black rose behind Cassiopeia.
Katarina's identity should make Black Rose feel threatened.
She is not only the most popular successor of the Du Kecao family, but also a high-ranking officer of the Reiser Garrison.
The power and influence brought by the dual identity made Black Rose jealous, fearing that she would become another stumbling block to the conspiracy.
“After the party, you can chat with Swain.”
Huo Jixing made plans silently in his heart.
He didn't want to play tricks with guys like Black Rose who were hiding in the dark. He could leave this aspect to professionals.
People are still entering the banquet hall, but there are much fewer people than before.
As for Huo Jixing, even though he is in a corner, he has attracted much attention due to the arrival of Catalina.
The identities of Wilson and Captain Ben Faron were gradually revealed, and it was revealed that they were the right-hand men of General Darius.
In the end, Huo Jixing's identity was revealed, which attracted people's attention.
A legendary transcendent with terrifying power is worthy of being won over by most of the forces present.
Huo Jixing seemed unaware of this and continued to talk softly with Catalina and Wilson.
But he was looking around with the corner of his eye and noticed some figures whispering in the corner.
"Lord Huo Jixing!"
A crisp voice sounded in my ears.
Huo Jixing looked up and saw a familiar figure walking over.
Mel Myrdalda!
This member of Parliament from Piltover actually showed up at the banquet.
Then he looked at a strong woman beside Mel.
She was wearing a heavy dress, black braids, and a fierce face.
However, when she saw Huo Jixing's eyes, she immediately saluted respectfully and kept her posture very low.
Is she the imperial warlord behind the Myrdalda family? Huo Jixing thought to himself.
Remembering the help Jarl had given him in Piltover, Huo Jixing took the initiative to walk over and chat with Mel and the female warlord.
Their expressions became excited because of Huo Jixing's arrival, and their respect was beyond words.
In this most exclusive banquet, every guest is a great warlord or powerful nobleman of the Noxus Empire. Their identity and status are extraordinary.
Although Mel and the female warlord were also invited, their status here could only be regarded as barely passing.
The arrival of Huo Jixing gave them enough face, making them feel even more honored in front of everyone.
It also attracted the attention of many people, who were all curious about the identity of Mel and the female warlord.
After a moment of conversation.
Huo Jixing saw that it was almost the same, nodded to Mel, said goodbye politely, and turned back to Catalina.
Coincidentally, the lights on the main stage of the banquet hall suddenly turned on.
Dlevin still appeared on the main stage dressed as a glorious executioner.
He looked around, cleared his throat, and announced in a loud voice.
"Everyone, welcome to this grand banquet, I am Delevingne."
"It is an honor to host tonight's banquet for everyone. Let us raise our glasses together to To the prosperity of Noxus and the glory of you all.”
As Delevingne finished speaking, warm applause and cheers erupted in the banquet hall.
People toasted to celebrate, and the banquet officially began.
Note: According to the timeline, Cassiopeia should not have turned into a predator with the appearance of a poisonous snake at this time.
