Chapter 254 The Road Ahead

There was an undercurrent throughout the ball. After the leaders of the red and white parties gave speeches, sumptuous food was brought to the table again, and the band played lively music.

The ball finally got down to business, and politics also entered a state of screening. Ladies and men from the red and white parties began to invite people from all neutral parties to dance together.

"Remember, Xing Ze, you and I still have something to talk about after the dance is over." Albert shook the book in his hand, then turned around and started chatting happily with several gorgeously dressed guests.

Before being invited to dance, Xing Ze quickly dodged into the shadow of a bottle. Just as he was about to follow the shadow to the dining table to have a feast, his hand was held by someone.

Then, like a fish fished out of the water, he returned to the light.

"Can you dance?" Ms. Jezebeth, who pulled him out, asked with a smile, "Why don't we dance for a while."

Looking at the ladies walking towards him, Xing Ze reluctantly nodded in agreement. So, he started slow dancing to the music in the hall.

Jezebeth straightened her back, kept up with Xing Ze, and asked, "Where did you learn to dance?"

"There are dances at Hogwarts every few years. I have been lucky enough to attend a few times." Xing Ze replied. As the dance circled, he carefully observed the people around him, "I think you are not in Hogwarts."

You must have graduated from Ci."

"I am a self-taught magician, but I went to Kodos Dorez to study for a short period of time." Jezebeth said, "Why can't you concentrate on dancing with me to the end? I never thought about myself

How unattractive it would be.”

Xing Ze smiled awkwardly, "Old habits die hard. My previous career required me to observe all the time."

"Then tell me, what did you see?" Jezebeth leaned towards Xing Ze.

"A man with a face full of scars. He is left-handed, but he hides it for some purpose. Perhaps to be surprised in a fight."

Seeing Xing Ze stop, Jezebeth urged: "Continue."

"I think we'd better keep dancing."

"What if I insist on listening?"

"Are you determined?"

"uh-huh."

"I can't disappoint a lady. His dress looks new, but the style has long been out of date, and the size is a little inappropriate. In view of the fact that the Ministry of Magic is currently investigating the Blue Mountain Group, and your partner has

Running for the new mayor.

"I dare say that he has been a little strapped for funds recently, so he came to this ball to find a few sponsors. Judging from the fact that he did not wear a rose, he intends to use his position as a bargaining chip to let the reformists and conservative parties bid.

"This is the purpose of your coming here tonight, isn't it? But judging from his expression after talking to the reformists, it is obvious that the other party cannot meet his demands.

"But judging from the idea that your partner has been advocating to build a beautiful city for Muggles and wizards together, it can be inferred that he should prefer to deal with the reformists. But the reconstruction of Ravenska Village will require a lot of money, at least the town hospital

It probably won't work.

"So now he is very conflicted in his heart. Should he give in to his own ideas or should he do a good job?"

There was a bit of surprise on Jezebeth's face. She smiled slightly and said, "It's very interesting. You have changed a lot since I first met you."

The soft music began to speed up, and the dance movements became more passionate and powerful.

"It's true." Xing Ze did not deny it. "After experiencing the incident in Ravenska Village, part of my consciousness has deviated from the norm. I can't say what it is, but I can feel it.

It’s different from before. You’re scared. Why?”

The music stopped and the dancing stopped.

"You must have read it wrong." Jezebeth turned her head and put a business card in Xing Ze's hand, "My business card. If anything happens, we can contact each other."

"I have your partner..."

"My partner is my partner, and I am me," Jezebeth said. "I have a feeling we will meet again soon."

Xing Ze put away the business card in confusion and watched Jezebeth walk to Sheikh's side. As soon as he turned around, he saw A coming to greet her.

"Xunrel Jezebeth, a woman full of mysteries." A whispered, shaking the wine in her hand, "She is very picky about people, and there is a good chance that someone will be invited to dance by her."

"Then I should feel lucky?"

A smiled and said, "I can't say that. Beautiful flowers all have thorns."

After that, he stretched out his hand. Just when Xing Ze couldn't figure out what he was going to do, A introduced himself: "Alan Humen."

Only then did Xing Ze understand. He held the other person's hand and said, "Xing Ze, it's an honor to meet you, sir."

"The next dance is about to start. We have to find a quiet place to chat."

Xing Ze followed A to the open-air balcony. He closed the door of the balcony and said, "Alan Humen, a good name, a man inspired by God. So, are the rumors about Slytherin true? You have received a message from God.

Apocalypse, and out of the Everglades?”

A chuckled lightly and said: "That's just a rhetoric concocted by Salazar Slytherin in order to improve his status. However, this rhetoric seems to have brought a good reputation to the Slytherin family."

"Everything is for power and profit, right?"

"At this stage, this is exactly our goal."

"Power and interests can make people lose their minds."

A looked at the moon in the night sky and said: "This is inevitable. There will always be people who can't resist the temptation. So, are you worried that we will eventually become like the Conservative Party?"

"No. Because no matter what, I will join you because there seems to be no better choice. But I need some conditions."

"Tell me about it."

Xing Ze told A the roundtable's request. A was silent for a while after listening, and then said: "It's not an excessive request. And the Key Hall also needs a team that can continue to track down those cultists.

only……"

"Are you questioning whether the members of the Round Table are qualified?"

"That's not too much, Xing Ze. Those of your people are uncontrollable. I bet even John is on your side, which is not good for me. Let's be fair. Your people are all

You must participate in necessary audits.

"Once they pass the review, they will be recognized by us. In this way, you and I will have no trouble."

"They don't need to be recognized by you."

"I understand." A nodded, "I understand that they may all be leaders in the field of dream investigation. But many people, it should be said that most people prefer a team with rules and regulations."

Xing Ze thought for a moment, "If they haven't heard of the review..."

"You don't have to worry about this, they will get through it." A showed a meaningful smile.

"Then I'll just wait for the good news."
