After the carriage stopped, he was supported by the attendants.
Charles walked down the steps gracefully.
I have to say that the old ways of aristocrats are really annoying sometimes.
Even though the steam automobile, which is much more convenient than the horse-drawn carriage, has been invented long ago, the horse-drawn carriage, a product of the old era, is still regarded as a cultural heritage by the nobles and used to show off.
In their view, the flag standing on the carriage and the badge hanging on it are equivalent to the name and glory of their family, and are symbols of status.
But for Charles, such meaningless things are simply a waste of his horse's time.
Even if the speed is slow, no matter how well groomed the horses are, they will still smell a little bit, and pooping along the way is a normal phenomenon, which is simply annoying!
It can be said that there is no comparison with steam cars!
But at this moment, as a member of the aristocratic force, Charles was not strong enough and did not have the ability to change his old habits for the time being, so he could only endure it.
After being led through the door by the attendant, a familiar voice appeared in Charles' ears.
"Charles! You're here too!"
He turned his head and looked around, and saw a tall figure walking towards him.
Faced with the other party's active greetings, Charles quickly said hello: "Uncle Ge Wense, long time no see!"
The fathers of Ge Wense and Charles were children when they were young, and their families have been friends for hundreds of years. They have been collaborating in various ways since their grandfather's generation.
Under such a friendship, if he casually made a small report, Charles would be criticized for several days when he returned home.
Ge Wense's appearance is very good, and he looks good-looking, but his figure is a little fat because he is middle-aged, and he has a small belly that cannot be concealed by customized clothes.
After he walked up to Charles, he took a glass of wine from the attendant who was passing by without saying a word, took a long sip, and then said angrily: "I heard that you, this kid, recently created something...
There are a lot of good things, and your family has made a lot of money from them.
It makes your father look at people with his nose every time he talks to me, he is so arrogant!"
In response to such words, Charles could only show an awkward but polite smile: "Everywhere... it's just a small amount of money, not a big profit."
Ge Wense curled his lips with disdain, but did not answer. Instead, after looking around for a while, he said a little doubtfully:
"By the way, your father didn't come?
Why are you the only one?
The last time that boy played dice with me, he lost me twelve glasses of wine without even drinking it!"
Hearing this, Charles was even more embarrassed. His father's dice rolling skills were notoriously rubbish.
Not to mention losing twelve glasses of wine, even losing forty glasses of wine is normal.
The key is that people are more addicted than others!
Professional support!
In other words, he doesn't gamble, and basically only gambles on insignificant things with acquaintances. Otherwise, the Gray family would have lost long ago.
'I asked him why he suddenly wanted to go fishing and asked me to come to the banquet alone...'
Although he was complaining about his own father, Charles still had to make up an excuse: "My father went to Green Tower City to discuss an ore business! That's why I'm the only one here!"
"Oh? Is that so?"
In the suspicious eyes of the other party, Charles calmly confirmed: "Yes, that's it!"
"All right."
After drinking the remaining wine in the glass, Ge Wense whispered to Charles softly: "What do you think about what I told you last time?"
Charles' face froze, and he replied helplessly: "I think I'm still very young, so that kind of thing is not urgent for the time being..."
Hearing this, Ge Wense immediately gave her a look of hatred:
"What are you afraid of?
You won’t suffer any loss anyway!
She is the daughter of a deputy mayor. If you count up, she may even be of royal blood. Her background is profound!
Marrying her will definitely bring you a lot of benefits in the future!"
Faced with such persuasion, Charles still chose to refuse, shaking his head wildly with an ugly face: "But... I can't accept such a heavy burden..."
Some things are too complicated.
It is far from being a simple matter of loss or loss that can be described clearly.
Hearing this, Ge Wense persuaded her again without giving up: "It's just a woman weighing 200 pounds, you can definitely do it!"
Charles shook his head in pain and refused: "I can't! I really can't!"
Faced with that heavy nightmare, he was willing to die on the spot!
Seeing that his attitude was so determined, Ge Wense could only say disappointedly: "Okay..."
————
Soon after.
With the appearance of the banquet organizer, the atmosphere of the banquet reached its peak.
Various people who were requested by others took the initiative to surround the main participants of the banquet, and started talking one by one.
For a time, the entire banquet was divided into several circles visible to the naked eye.
Ge Wense looked at Charles in front of him and said curiously: "Why are you so calm today and don't go drinking with the beauties?"
"I drank too much yesterday, and I'm still a little dizzy now..." Charles made up a joke and said: "And the most beautiful ones are all surrounding Hank. I don't have any good targets, so I might as well
It’s better to take a rest.”
Ge Wense suddenly understood and shook his head slightly and said: "I'm just telling you why your kid is so calm today. This is the reason why you have been doing it for so long.
Young people should drink in moderation, otherwise they will suffer from old age diseases~"
In response, Charles could only smile casually.
And his eyes were focused on Hank, whom they mentioned earlier.
He was a young man with a tall and straight body, luxurious and elegant clothes, and surprisingly handsome appearance.
He was currently surrounded by a group of beautiful young women in a corner, and from time to time he made them laugh with his excellent conversation.
If it was the first week without rebirth, at this moment, Charles would naturally feel a little envious and jealous when he saw this situation.
After all, the other person's appearance, body, temperament, family, and knowledge are all superior to him. Compared with the other person, Charles is simply just making up for the numbers.
But after experiencing all the messy ups and downs in his previous life, he had already looked past those little things.
Of course, the more important thing is that although Hank is cool now, he may not be so cool in two months.
Among the women he was attracted to, as far as Charles knew, there was one who could be called a yandere.
If it were just this, that would be enough, but that woman actually has some kind of congenital disease, and she will develop the disease soon.
After she dies full of resentment, her strong unwillingness towards Hank will turn her into a very powerful evil spirit, clinging to Hank.
Due to her love before her death, she would not intentionally hurt Hank, and would even protect him, but the same could not be said for his relatives and friends...
It can be said that the future Hank is possessed by the god of death, and all kinds of weird ways of death can be seen around him.
Parents, attendants, children, loved ones, innocent people... died one after another...
As a result, he, as the common contact target of all victims, was considered to be a serial perverted killer more than once.
All kinds of slander and even attacks were uninterrupted. If it weren't for the protection of evil spirits, those who came to seek revenge would have spread his ashes.
By the time the facts came to light, he had already experienced more than ten suicide attempts and suffered from severe depression, with a look of despair on his face.
It can be said that the end was extremely miserable!!
