Chapter 229 Dinner
A moment later.
Early eight o'clock.
A middle-aged nobleman wearing a dark blue patterned dress and a slicked back hair walked to the high platform at the end of the hall.
“Thank you for coming to Didier’s birthday dinner...”
Lord Crook held the microphone in his hand and chuckled.
Immediately afterwards, he said some polite words, which caused all the guests to applaud.
Dedel also came on stage once in the middle, and many guests made a sound of exclamation. There is no other reason than that this noble lady is really dazzling tonight.
Her outstanding appearance and temperament can be regarded as one of the best in the circle of young aristocrats in the capital.
Many young people present cast appreciative and even passionate glances towards the stage.
However, when Didier stepped down, she walked straight towards a blond young man and even held his hand affectionately, which made these young people's hearts sink.
After taking a closer look at the blond young man, they were surprised to find that this was not the "noble agent" who became famous some time ago? !
Guillan Iros...
The youngest master, he was frequently published in the newspapers for arresting a large number of bootlegging criminals.
Especially the fact that he personally sent four of the children of political figures to prison, and Brady was sentenced to death, caused a stir in the upper class circles.
It’s really hard to offend this guy!
Quite a few guests recognized Ji Lan’s identity. Among them, the young people who were interested in Dedel gave up the idea of approaching her.
There is no need to provoke such a ruthless lunatic just for a woman.
Jilan felt the gazes of the guests, and couldn't help but understand Dedel's intention... Are you using him as a shield?
Turning to look to the side, the noble girl raised her head and gave him a gentle and slightly apologetic smile.
Shortly afterwards.
The dinner has entered the dining stage.
Hundreds of guests were seated in the spacious and bright lobby. A dozen large round tables were filled with luxurious and high-end meals, candlesticks, flower baskets and other decorations.
Gilan noticed that after Lord Crook finished speaking on the stage, he did not sit down to dine with the guests, but went somewhere unknown.
“By the way, Miss Dedel.”
He stopped his knife and fork and turned to look at the girl beside him.
"Today is your birthday dinner, why is Second Lieutenant Murdoch not here?"
"Brother is too busy. I heard that he has been running errands for the Propaganda Department recently. I don't know what he is doing. "
Dedel shook her head.
Gilan looks calm on the surface, but there is speculation in his heart...
It was clearly Miss Didier's birthday dinner. On such an important occasion, Lord Crook disappeared after finishing his speech, and Lieutenant Murdoch was not present either.
Thinking again, Prince was taken out by Ramon and also did not come to the dinner.
'Have the sharing ceremony begun...'
Jilan secretly thought.
After receiving the "hotline" from the White Sage, he learned that the "Golden Branch of Dawn" planned to hold a "Black Mass" ceremony through this birthday dinner.
But why did the "Heavenly Evil Cult" choose today to start the ceremony?
Is it possible that these two old esoteric sects have already negotiated?
However, this is unlikely.
Then this coincidence is too weird.
He buried this doubt in his heart and was secretly vigilant.

At this moment.
Opposite the Tietjens Hotel.
A secret dinner was also going on in the sealed Silver Lizard Club.
It’s just that this dinner party is a bit unique.
On the originally spacious fighting venue on the first floor, two huge rectangular dining tables were placed.
A circular symbol is carved in blood on the dining table, divided by three irregular curves. Candlesticks were placed at the four corners, and in the dim venue, there was only the light of candlelight.
The two dining tables were filled with shadowy men and women. They were dressed formally, with their napkins tied, and each had a pair of knives and forks. The two young men were stripped naked and were pinned down on the dining table with a look of horror on their faces.
"Father! Father!!"
Prince turned pale and turned to shout to a middle-aged nobleman who was taking the seat at the table.
"What...what are you doing?!"
"No, it's impossible...how could my father be a member of the 'Heavenly Evil Cult'..."
< br>
On the other side, Murdoch, who was also pressed on the table, widened his eyes and looked at his father, Lord Crook, in disbelief.
"Your sacrifice is worth it, Murdoch."
Lord Crook also sat on the main seat of another dining table with an expressionless face.
"The Taylor family needs a strong person in charge to deal with the next changes... Don't worry, even if I die, you will still have your sister Dedel."
" I believe that even if she takes the throne, she will become one of the few shrewd and capable countesses in the empire.”
"Father, you..."
Murdoch's face was ashen, he opened his mouth, but could no longer say anything.
He was given up.
Will be used as "nourishment" and the qualifications for his father's promotion.
“Ah! Ahhhh!!”
Prince suddenly broke down and yelled.
"Father, don't eat me! Please!!"
He kept twisting and kicking his legs, trying to break free from the hands of the two Tiane cultists.
Seeing this, a trace of unbearability flashed in Ramon's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination and coldness.
He spoke calmly and said:
"Father God, please witness this delicious feast... Everyone, let's start eating!"
The words just finished.
Pfft——
A sharp knife has pierced Prince’s chest!
Blood suddenly gushed out, and Prince showed an expression of extreme pain, his eyes widened and his mouth opened wide, like a dehydrated live fish.
The Tian Ni cultist who was responsible for holding down the two eldest son sacrifices was skilled in technique, and with a cold face, he slashed down with the sharp knife.
With a hiss, the two young men were directly disemboweled.
Then, it was like a butcher’s slaughtering scene, Prince and Murdoch were dismembered alive.
The head, internal organs, limbs, and even the tiny fingers are not spared, and they are all distributed to each "diner"'s plate.
As fathers and "Gray Scar Priests", Ramon Farhan and Crook Taylor had the heart of their eldest son on the plate in front of them.
That heart was still beating hotly.
Chew, chew, chew...
Cuck, cuck...
No one spoke at the scene, they all ate with solemn expressions, their mouths full of blood.
That expression actually contained a hint of piety and holiness, which was very strange.
Ramon chewed on his eldest son's heart, eyes darkening.
He felt an unprecedented heat, emerging from the "grey scar" on his left neck.
Ramon swallowed what was in his mouth, and without hesitation, he picked up an exquisite ceremonial black-handled knife that he had prepared in advance and placed it at hand, and slashed his right neck!
Pfft! !
Blood spurted out, but Ramon raised his head and was content with it.
The wound soon stopped bleeding. Instead, sparks appeared and turned into another "grey scar" like a brand!
At the head seat of another table, Lord Crook behaved exactly like him, and also left a second "grey scar" on his body...
