A man quickly got down from the passenger seat of the car, he opened the rear door and held up an umbrella again. At this time, an old man emerged from the car. Silver’s short hair stood up, and Fang Zheng’s face was solemn. The beard around the chin has been carefully groomed, adding a bit of majesty to him. His eyes were sharp and his lips pressed tightly, giving a sense of casual laughter.

Although he is more than 60 years old, his waist is still straight and, coupled with his still strong body, he looks at least ten years younger.

“Lord, go here.” Butler softly said with an umbrella.

The silver-haired old man ordered nodded and walked quietly into the building with Butler. In the lobby of the building, an obese man greeted him and rubbed his hands and said: “Welcome, Mr. Horn. Didn’t expect you to join this betting event. It’s really surprising.”

“Alster, if you continue to lose weight, be careful that the blood vessels will burst.” Old man Horn said lightly.

Fatty Alster took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat: “I’m a nobody. I’m tired and running every day, so I don’t have time to take care of my body. Mr. Horn, please come here, the activity is about to begin.

Alster, who looked like a sales manager, led Horn and Butler to a private elevator. Despite the unimposing in appearance, this man is the Chairman of the death ring preparation committee, and the host of each death ring in the past ten years, simultaneously on the body also serves as the Federal Secretary of Finance. For such a person, there are not many guests who need him to greet him personally.

Really not much.

The private elevator goes straight to the top floor. When the elevator door is opened, it is not a training hall with multiple functions, but a 600-square-meter banquet hall. In terms of the size of the banquet hall, the area here is not the largest, but the decoration is first-class. From the David statue at the entrance to the colorful Persian carpets; from the flame angel figure decorated with stained glass on the dome, to the 4 Linz stone pillars that are both load-bearing and partitioning. The numerous decorative techniques give the banquet hall a restrained luxury, which is fully in line with the prevailing aesthetics of the nobility.

Butler handed the umbrella to the waiter, and Alster Lord Horn came to a relatively quiet corner. At this moment, the so-called betting activity has not yet begun. Under the lights of the lobby, people in small groups gather together or talk in a low voice, or talk loudly. No one noticed the appearance of a Horn in the hall, until a lady accidentally caught a glimpse, and then whispered: “Isn’t that Mr. Horn from Beskard?”

Then he quickly put a smile on his face and walked over in the most elegant manner. But before he got close to Horn, Butler stopped him: “Sorry, ma’am. My Lord hopes to be quiet and alone.”

There was an unnatural smile on the woman’s face, with a little unwillingness, she stepped back angrily. Several more men wanted to come forward and talk, but they were all stopped by Butler. Those who are able to stand in this banquet hall today are also defiant figures thrown into Babylon. Normally, it is too late for others to flatter them, and it is rarely rejected by others.

But Horn refused, they can only dare to be angry but dare not speak, and more are wry smiles and helplessness.

In Babylon’s upper class society, although they are all called aristocratic class. But the nobility is only a general division, in this circle, there are more harsh divisions. The ordinary person rarely knows that, in the so-called nobility, there are also the classification of rich family, aristocratic family and famous clique. All three of them are truly aristocrats if they have been in the business for 3 years and have strong inside information.

The Beskard family is one of the famous cliques. Although the famous cliques are not as noble as the aristocratic family, there is already an insurmountable gap between them and ordinary nobles. Even more how, Beskard is not an ordinary famous clique. After all, ten years ago, this family was still ranked in the aristocratic family list, but because of a series of changes and the emergence of another family, it slipped from the ranking of the aristocratic family into the famous clique.

That family, named Alexander!

At this time, the lights of the banquet hall suddenly dimmed, and then the beam of the spotlight was concentrated on the small stage ahead of the hall. Alster stood on the stage like a TV presenter, lightly coughed and said, “Good morning, gentlemen and ladies. Let’s make a long story short, or else this damn light will blow me up. Maybe it’s really like what some Old Friend said, Alster should lose weight.”

There was a kind chuckle under the stage, and after adjusting the atmosphere in the hall with a funny opening remarks, Alster said: “As you can see, the death ring is just around the corner, and the participating teenagers have also been evaluated for two weeks. For. For everyone, their current ranking scores should have a certain reference value, so as usual, guess the betting event will be held today, please enjoy the grand carnival once every two years.”

Alster snapped his fingers, and Bulla opened the stage behind him, revealing a large screen. The first one displayed on the screen is the teenager with the lowest ranking. Alster smiled and stepped down. The other hosts were responsible for briefly introducing the teenagers in the competition to the nobles in the hall so that they could better understand their favorite betting objects.

The quiz betting activity is one of the entertainment programs attached to the death ring, which is open to residents of the entire Babylon Floating Island. To put it bluntly, it is a national gambling activity. The dealer behind the scenes is of course the federal government, which will further stimulate people’s enthusiasm and play an interactive role. Of course, participating teenagers can also profit from it.

For every teenager who gets support, they will get a 1% dividend from the total bet. Their dividends will be distributed in the form of materials to help them obtain more favorable conditions in the competition. It can be said that the quiz activity is one of the main reasons why Babylon residents are so enthusiastic about the death ring, and it is also an important fiscal revenue of the federal government.

Alster walked to Horn. He was probably the only person in the banquet hall who was qualified to sit near Horn. Alster called the waiter and asked them to serve the wine. After having a drink with Horn, Fang said: “It seems that in this year of Little Brat, there is a goal that Mr. Horn likes?”

Horn smiled nodded, and Alster couldn’t help but said, “I don’t know which kid Mr. Horn is after?”

“After a while, you will understood.” Horn Cherish words like gold, after speaking, he said nothing.

At this time, the host on the stage has briefly talked about the information of the 21 teenagers, and then announced the start of accepting bets. While others were still calculating the amount of investment and the corresponding return, Horn looked at Butler indifferently. Butler immediately understood and raised his hand softly and said: “We voted for Allen’s one ton of high grade platinum.”

Altaisi’s expression froze, and then he shook his head and said: “It turns out that Mr. Horn is interested in Allen. He is good, but don’t forget that he is now Ranked 1st. This position is not very advantageous.”

Altais is telling the truth. Before the death ring, Ranked 1st has mixed interests. The advantage is that it has a lot of material support to maximize its strength before the game. The disadvantages are also very obvious. In addition to becoming targets of public criticism, the coordinates of the top 3 teenagers will be announced to other teenagers when the game starts.

In the death arena of previous years, there is no lack of precedents of Ranked 1st being killed by a gang fight before entering the arena.

Generally speaking, it will be safer to invest money in the second or third place on the body. However, the odds of the top 2 are not high. If you want to make a lot of money, sometimes the dark horse that ranks lower will have surprises instead.

Horn said indifferently: “I have faith in him.”

Alster clicked nodded to the host, and suddenly there was an additional capital injection of 10,000,000 federal coins under Allen’s head, which was equivalent to the market price of one ton of platinum. This number will be released to the entire Babylon government trust platform in real time, and all bettors will be able to immediately see the changes in the funding of all teenagers.

Beskard’s great generosity shocked other nobles in the banquet hall. After all, 10000000 million federal currency is not a small amount. The applause was suddenly resounded, everyone looked behind, and several people filed in from outside the door. Walking ahead is a middle-aged man. His brown hair is fixed with wax and combed behind his head. The position of each strand is as if carefully calculated, showing meticulous quality.

The sea-blue color eyes are full of smiles, but if you look deeper, you will find that the depths of this person’s eyes are really a sky blue ice ocean. The suits made by famous craftsmen are well tailored, and the workmanship from the collar to the cuffs can withstand the most critical scrutiny. A black and white striped tie, which plays a decorative role simultaneously, also further emphasizes the owner’s efficient and practical temperament.

When he saw this man, Alster smiled bitterly. This person is Horn’s enemy, Clan head Maine of the Alexander family.

Maine said from a distance: “Mr. Horn really laughed. He sold a ton of platinum. What others didn’t know, thought Beskard rich and imposing. But I look at the most recent annual report. Beskard’s financial income has decreased compared with the same period. That’s 30%. Mr. Horn, this ton of platinum won’t be your trump card, right?”

Horn said calmly, indifferently said: “No matter how bad Beskard is, or some luck, he will proudly upstart.”

Maine sits directly on the Horn table in the dining room. This is actually a very rude behavior, but he just sits as it should be by rights. Considering that the Alexander family has jumped from the bottom of the famous clique to the upstart aristocratic family in just 20 years, no one would dare to blame Maine for not. Because this family has today, it has a close relationship with Maine, who took over the burden of Clan head.

“Of course, Alexander’s family is no better than Mr. Horn’s inside information, but a small amount of money can still be obtained.” Maine smiled and looked towards the big screen, scanning his eyes on the heads of how many years, and finally said: “I see That guy named Ans is very pleasing to the eye, so just throw me 2 tons of platinum.”

Suddenly, the hall was in an uproar. As long as it is not blind, it can be seen that Maine is provoking Horn.
