Chapter 1886 They Can’t Escape Tonight

ducal mansion.

Peter was reporting to Lacy: "Your Excellency, Miss Bai Dai and Miss Delis have accepted the invitation and will attend the charity ball tonight. This morning, they went to the mall together to buy dresses and returned to Miss Bai Dai's residence at noon. They have not left since..."

After listening to Pete's report, a cold light flashed in Lacy's eyes.

Laxi snorted coldly and said with resentment: "Tonight, those two Chinese must die!"

Peter asked cautiously, "Your Excellency the Duke, have you made arrangements?"

Laxi said in a cold voice: "I have contacted the leader of the Western European branch of the Black Temple. He will send out the top assassins to kill those two Chinese people at the charity ball!"

A trace of astonishment flashed in Peter's eyes, and then he said viciously: "Those two Chinese dared to provoke the Duke, they really deserve to die!"

Laxi said grimly, "To ensure success, send those eight mercenary bodyguards to an ambush. If the assassination attempt fails, they will launch a second round of assassinations!"

Peter nodded, "I understand. Don't worry, Your Majesty, they won't be able to escape tonight!"

Night falls.

Bai Dai, Delis, Pi Yangyang and Tie Niu went to the dance party together.

The venue of the charity ball was set up in a manor, which was Lacy's private manor.

The dance was held on a lawn, which had been decorated as early as the afternoon.

Wines, beverages, fruit salads, etc. are all available.

The stage has been set up and the band is in place, just waiting for the dance to officially begin.

As soon as night fell, many wealthy nobles and local dignitaries rushed to the scene.

Soon, a lot of people gathered on the lawn.

The men were all dressed in tuxedos of various colors, looking very elegant, while the women were all in evening gowns, looking very graceful and elegant.

Lacy did not rush to the venue. Instead, he stood on the roof of a house not far from the lawn, holding a telescope and looking at everything on the lawn.

He was patiently waiting for the arrival of Bai Dai, Pi Yangyang and others.

When he saw a Bentley slowly driving into the manor, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

That was Bai Dai's car, he recognized it.

Sure enough, Bai Dai, Delis, Pi Yangyang and Tie Niu got out of the car and handed it to the waiter.

But he still did not rush to the scene, but continued to observe calmly, as if he was still looking for some target.

Soon, his eyes locked on two girls in black evening gowns.

He looked carefully for a moment before putting the telescope down, the sneer on his lips becoming more obvious.

Pi Yangyang and Tie Niu got out of the car and headed to the ball venue under the guidance of the manor waiters.

The manor was indeed very large, and it took us three hundred meters to reach the ball venue.

Seeing the scene before him, Tie Niu's eyes widened and he said in astonishment: "This is just a dance party, there's nothing strange about it."

He had seen cocktail parties in his country, so he felt that there was no difference between a dance party and a cocktail party.

Pi Yangyang nodded and said, "This is a social method invented by some so-called aristocrats. It's to highlight their status and distinguish themselves from ordinary people. In fact, it's the same as those so-called socialites' clubs and wealthy families' clubs, just with a different method."

He didn't have much of a fondness for this way of communication, so he said whatever he thought.

Delis and Bai Dai looked at him in surprise, but they didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.

Bai Dai actually didn't like such occasions. In her heart, her thoughts were very similar to Pi Yangyang's. She felt that this was a place for the rich and powerful to show off and compete with each other.

Although Delis didn't think so, she supported Pi Yangyang's statement without a second thought.

So he nodded and said, "This was originally organized by Duke Lacy to show off his family's influence. However, such a ball also has its advantages. After all, the second generation of the wealthy and noble families in the Fog City are also a kind of resource. Being able to get to know some of these people is still a certain benefit."

Pi Yangyang did not refute. His purpose was certainly not to come here to meet some rich second generation in the Fog City.

Because he had a premonition that Laxi organized such a dance party and specially invited him and Tie Niu to come, the purpose must be not simple.

Bai Dai and Delis both said he was petty and vindictive. Pi Yangyang had repeatedly humiliated Laxi, so Laxi was definitely not going to let it go.

Therefore, tonight's dance party is most likely a Hongmen Banquet targeting him and Tie Niu.

Although he knew it in his heart, he didn't care.

It would be fine if Laxi didn't provoke him anymore, but if she had to provoke him, he would certainly fight back without hesitation.

What's more, Bai Dai and Delis also stood firmly on his side, so he was even more fearless.

As soon as we arrived near the ball venue, several girls in evening gowns and two young men in tuxedos came up to greet us happily.

"Ms. Bai Dai, I'm so glad to see you here!"

A girl gave Bai Dai a hug and said happily.

Bai Dai smiled and said, "Alice, I'm glad to see you too."

Then, she gently hugged the other two girls and two men respectively, turned to look at Pi Yangyang and introduced, "Alice, Amy, Susanna, let me introduce you, these two are my Chinese friends, Mr. Pi Yangyang, and Brother Tie Niu."

Alice nodded politely at Pi Yangyang, her eyes twinkling as she said happily, "Ms. Bai Dai, I know him."

"Do you know him?" Bai Dai was stunned.

Alice said, "I was at the club last night too, and witnessed Mr. Pi's Chinese Kung Fu. It was truly astonishing! Unfortunately, I made the wrong bet and lost the opportunity to make money..."

She was very excited at first, but later on, she showed a hint of regret.

Amy and Susanna also nodded and said, "That's right. If we had known that Mr. Pi and the Tieniu brothers were so powerful, we wouldn't have bet on those stupid boxing champions."

Then, Bai Dai looked at the two men again and introduced them, "Mr. Pi, this is Lord Aniluo and Lord Yasa."

These two young men showed arrogance from beginning to end, looking down on Pi Yangyang and Tie Niu.

After Bai Dai finished her introduction, they just nodded calmly without even extending their hands.

Pi Yangyang clearly saw the word "arrogance" on their faces.

But he didn't care and just nodded calmly.

You can be arrogant, but I can also be indifferent. Not all Chinese people will be condescending when they meet foreigners.

The dance hadn't started yet, and the second generation on the lawn were chatting with each other in groups of three or five.

Pi Yangyang didn't understand what they were talking about, so naturally he had no interest.

They all came to the lawn, and Bai Dai introduced, "Tonight's charity ball is to raise funds for orphans in certain refugee areas in Africa to help them. This kind of ball does have some significance."

Pi Yangyang asked curiously, "Is Laxi still so enthusiastic?"

"Well, he's responsible for calling for and organizing the movement every year, and he established a relief foundation with himself as the president. The funds raised each year go through the foundation to help orphans in Africa."

Bai Dai nodded and said.

Pi Yangyang couldn't help but curl his lips and smile: It turns out that all the rich people in this world are the same, when they have made enough money, they start to gain fame.

Donating to charity is like spending money to buy fame.

If these donations were actually used for the orphans, it would be a good deed. But the fear is that these donations will end up in the pockets of certain individuals, while the orphans will get nothing.

A pianist was playing music on the scene, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Suddenly, the entire group of people who were chatting turned around to face the stage.

A host in a formal suit walked onto the stage and announced loudly that Duke Lacy was here.

Then, the lights shone on one side of the stage, and Lacy, dressed in a duke's suit, stood under the dazzling spotlight. He raised his hand and waved to everyone, then walked slowly to the middle of the stage with a duke's step and stood still.

There was a sudden cheer from the audience, especially from the young women, who shouted “Duke Lacy” and rushed to the front of the stage.

Looking at this scene, it’s like a big star has arrived.

However, Bai Dai and Delis did not move. Like Pi Yangyang, they just looked at Laxi standing on the stage calmly.

Alice, Amy, and Susannah had also walked towards the front of the stage, as if they couldn't wait to throw themselves into Lacy's arms.

At this time, Yasa looked at Bai Dai and asked curiously, "Miss Bai Dai, why don't you go over? Duke Lasi is your fiancé, aren't you worried that another woman will snatch him away?"

Bai Dai said nonchalantly, "I never thought about marrying him. The so-called fiancé was chosen by my parents and his family. I didn't acknowledge it."

Yasa and Anilo didn't expect Bai Dai to answer so directly, and they were slightly stunned.
