1094 Talking to the VIP (1/2)
”Argh… Oooh…”
Demonic Fox kept her eyes glued to the float. She overheard Chen Xiaobei talking through No.8 Luban and she laughed uncontrollably.
”You really are mean! You've completely destroyed Nikkawa Okazaka's dignity…”
”Girls prefer bad boys!” Chen Xiaobei grinned, and said, ”How else am I going to make you laugh like that?”
”Hehe, actually, I was hoping that you could be even meaner!”
Demonic Fox laughed so hard that she was tearing up.
”Let's go. We have to find a quiet place! No.8 Luban will have to go meet some VIP guests. I will need to respond carefully!”
Chen Xiaobei held her hand and they left.
...
After the parade was done, Nikkawa Okazaka and his bride walked into the banquet hall.
It was already seated with guests made up of Japan's high officials and noblemen as well as representatives from countries Japan had good relations with. Chen Xiaobei controlled No.8 Luban's every movement, going around, greeting and entertaining guests. It all went very well.
”Your Highness, your majesty. His Royal Highness requests your presence!”
An old chamberlain notified.
”Does Father need anything? Can't it be delayed? I really want to take a rest!” Nikkawa Okazaka complained.
”His Royal Highness wants you to meet an American VIP guest!” The chamberlain replied.
”American? Alright! I'll go now!”
Nikkawa Okazaka immediately rushed to change his attire and hairstyle.
On the surface, the USA and Japan were allies but the truth was, the USA had the absolute power and dominance. To put it frankly, Japan was just the pug that guarded the Pacific Ocean for the Americans.
How could Nikkawa Okazaka refuse to see an American guest?
”My dear wife, don't just sit there! Hurry up and finish grooming yourself! We cannot appear to be rude!”
Nikkawa Okazaka fixed his hair in the mirror then helped No.8 Luban.
After making sure that nothing was amiss, the both of them followed the old chamberlain to a door on side of the banquet hall.
After the door, and up a flight of stairs, there was a VIP lounge.
”Crown Prince! Crown Princess! Please!”
The chamberlain opened the door to let them in before standing guard in front of the closed door.
No one else was allowed in.
A silver-haired American was sitting at the main seat.
He was not your usual American VIP.
Meanwhile, the host, Nikkawa Uchu, was sitting in the second seat.
Again, this confirmed that this VIP's importance was far more than those sitting in the hall.
There was another man in the room with the rest of them.
Based on his facial features, he looked either European or American. Because he was painfully thin, it was hard to tell.
If it were not for the clothes on his body, he would look no different from a skeleton.
For someone so strange-looking to be in such an occasion could only mean that was no ordinary man.
Chen Xiaoebi, through No.8 Luban, observed that this skeletal man's standing position was very strategic.
He was in a spot with the best vantage point. From there, you could see the window and the door.
The man's beady eyes moved mechanically, alternating between the window and the door as if he was looking out for something.
