At the same time, in a dressing room of the Cairo Grand Hotel.
Albert had just put on a pure white [Horus brand] suit. The neat and clean suit matched the white tiger very well, almost blending in with the color of his fur. The tiger stuffed its feet into the pure white leather
In his leather shoes, he took another look in front of a floor-standing mirror that was the same height as him, and was very satisfied with his handsomeness.
"Huhu, look at your stinking beauty." Paramedis came over and arranged the bow around Albert's neck: "Okay, this will make you more handsome, kid."
Albert's entire outfit is all white, except for this bow, which is pure black. This matching black and white suit is as harmonious as this tiger with black stripes on its white fur.
"Hehe..." Tiger chuckled in a low voice, with a slight flush on his face. He deliberately asked: "When does the dinner start? It's almost eight o'clock. I'm almost starving."
Already."
"The formal dinner starts at eight o'clock sharp. It's only seven-thirty now, so it's very early." Saifer came over and said. He was dressed in black like his father Paramedes [Holland]
Ruth Brand] suit, also very handsome, but the color is in huge contrast with Albert's suit. As if to pair up with the tiger, Saifei also wears a white bow for the Leopard Man young man to see.
In addition to being handsome, it also has an extra youthful air.
"Well..." Palamedes knew what his son was thinking, and he also helped Saifer tidy up the white bow. When he saw Saifer also showing a satisfied expression, he retreated.
Taking a step forward, he straightened his gray-blue silk tie in front of the mirror.
(What the hell am I doing?)
The Leopard Man looked at the big black cat in a monkey suit in front of the mirror. He looked like a successful businessman, exuding the aura of a nobleman. But he was obviously just a gangster and survived by stealing.
The villain who came down. What on earth is this stupid big black panther pretending to be---beep---.
"I hope the Queen of Jewels is not too picky," Albert paced a little uncomfortably: "Oh no, no, no, I can barely remember the table manners I learned all afternoon. Why are the Egyptians' etiquette so bad?
It’s complicated--should I hold the spoon with my left hand or my right hand?”
"Left hand." "Right hand, meow." Palamedes and Saifer replied in unison.
"Is it the left hand or the right hand?" Albert showed a dumbfounded expression.
"Uh...whatever!" Paramedis groaned: "Anyway, we are rough people who don't understand etiquette. No matter how much we try to fix things in a hurry, it is of no use. We will always show our flaws in the details.
.Just follow your usual habits. Remember, we don't need to deliberately please the Gem Queen. We just promised Daddy Sphinx to attend this dinner and not lie in front of the Gem Queen.
Let Daddy Sphinx handle other matters by himself, it has nothing to do with us!"
"Got it (meow)." Saifei and Albert replied in unison.
Tiger thought for a while and then said: "But... just to let us attend a dinner party, it takes so much effort and so much money to invite us, this Sphinx daddy
It’s quite generous."
"Perhaps, for him, he will get more benefits by negotiating a business deal with the Queen of Gemstones." Paramedis explained: "In any case, it's not our turn to worry about that kind of thing. We just need to do our best."
Just do your duty."
"Huhu, at first I thought dad was a very scary person, meow." Saifei also smiled and said, "I thought the gang boss would definitely ask us to do some invisible people's deeds. Meow. I didn't expect it.
It’s such a serious business dinner."
"Of course," a voice interrupted the conversation between Palamedes and others, and the leopard man Phileos walked into the locker room: "In addition to gang activities, dad is also engaged in many serious businesses.
It should be said that most of the businesses run by dad are legal. Dad said that there will be no future just relying on the dirty gangsters' dirty deeds to make a living."
"I hope so." Palamedes glanced at Philaos and replied without emotion. He saw that Philaos was still wearing the black tights, not even a suit, and couldn't help but wonder.
Question: "Philaos, won't you attend the dinner with us?"
"Me? I will attend. I will protect dad from behind as a personal bodyguard. But I will not eat the meal and watch you eat."
Palamedes frowned again in confusion: "But... doesn't Father Sphinx treat you like his own son? [My biological son], you stay there without eating.
As outsiders, we------"
"It doesn't matter." Phileos's eyes were full of some kind of persistence: "Protecting dad is my most important mission, and helping dad negotiate this deal is your mission. Our mission is not
If there is a conflict, just do what you should do."
"Really..." Although Palamedes was full of doubts, the other party had already mentioned this, and the Leopard Warrior was too embarrassed to say anything more: "So, this is the old Sphinx."
Is it a task that dad assigned you?"
"Exactly. Is there any problem?" Phileos' fanatical belief in Father Sphinx made it impossible for him to see the essence of the matter clearly.
"No. It's no problem, please don't worry about it." Palamedes said perfunctorily, feeling slightly disappointed.
Although Dad said he treated Phileos as his own son, what about in reality? Daddy Sphinx probably only treats Phileos like a chess piece. A truly loving person will definitely
He would not let his son wait on the side with an empty stomach while he went to eat and discuss business with others.
I still can't believe Sphinx. He may be a successful businessman, or he may be a wealthy plutocrat who is extremely rich and is king of the country. But this man does not mean what he says and has no love for his subordinates and his family.
Palamedes began to think about how to end tonight's dinner as soon as possible, and then break away from the Sphinx father. He just hoped that before the involvement was not deep and the situation could be controlled, he could really get rid of it.
The relationship can be cleared up.
Seeing the leopard warrior in a daze, Phileos patted his brother on the shoulder: "Isn't it boring to stay here? Although it's a little early to go there now, let's set off first and get familiar with the environment."
"Well...okay." Palamedes agreed in a low voice.
The venue of the dinner is actually not far away. It is on the highest floor of the Cairo Hotel, in the crystal revolving restaurant at the top of the building.
The Celestal Restaurant (Celestal Resturant) in Cairo Grand Hotel is the most exclusive five-star restaurant in Egypt and even Africa. Every day, dignitaries from all over the world rush to book seats in the restaurant. Because there are so many people booking, even this restaurant
Even the smallest table in a restaurant needs to be booked three years in advance.
Being able to have a dinner in such a luxurious restaurant was originally a good thing that many ordinary people dreamed of. But why? At this moment, Palamedes could not help but feel a vague uneasiness in his heart. Except for the old Sphinx
There seems to be something about these unstable factors that make Palamedes feel uneasy.
The elevator to the Tianjie Restaurant was surprisingly fast, and they soon arrived at the crystal revolving restaurant. Under the guidance of Phileos, the Palamedes and his son (and Albert) entered the room for tonight's dinner.
In a luxurious box.
Then, the big black panther finally understood the source of his uneasiness.
Not only the ceiling and walls of this luxurious crystal box, but also the floor are made of crystal. Although the ultra-high hardness crystal floor is very reliable and will never break easily, it also has amazing light transmittance.
Standing here, Palamedes seemed to be thousands of feet in the air, and beneath his feet was the coast of Cairo. The stars and moon reflected the Mediterranean Sea, and the beautiful scenery was dizzying, but at the same time, the feet of the Leopard Man warriors began to
Shake.
Palamedes, the big cat, is afraid of heights.
"Oh, my God!" He complained in a low voice: "We have to have dinner in such a damn place?!"
"What's wrong? This is the most exclusive restaurant in Egypt..." Phileos obviously didn't know about his brother's fear of heights and asked with a puzzled look.
"Dad is afraid of heights, meows." Saifei grinned mischievously and said, "Dad, you are so timid. Are you afraid of meows in a place like this? The floor looks transparent, but it is actually very solid. Meow. Look,
Even if---this---jump---there's no problem at all, nya!"
While speaking, Saifer actually jumped up on the crystal floor.
Bump, bump, bump! He jumped several times, and his leather shoes hit the crystal floor, which made Palamedes dizzy. The Leopard Warrior felt that the floor would break at any time, causing everyone to fall from this high altitude.
The illusion of going down.
"Don't jump! Brat! I told you not to jump!" Palamedes leaned against the wall and whispered. If possible, he really wanted to rush over and give Saifer a slap.
"Uncle, you are so useless..." Albert also cast a strange look at Palamedes. The environment of the Crystal Hall is so peaceful, so it should not scare people.
.
"Are you okay, Paramy?" Phileos asked worriedly, "How about I go tell dad and change the venue of the dinner..."
"No need! Really no need!" Palamedes leaned against the wall, deliberately not looking at the scenery behind him or at his feet: "There are still thirty minutes until the banquet starts, right?...I...
..I have to go for a walk and take a breather. Once I change my mood and come back, there should be no problem."
"Then...Okay. Please pay attention to your safety." Philaeos opened the door of the box and sent Palamedes out.
The Leopard Man warrior ran to the elevator as if he was running away, and took the high-speed elevator back to the first floor of the Cairo Hotel.
