Different from the worries hidden under the anxiety and dissatisfaction of Never Night City Huo Le.
At this moment, President Paris already had a sense of calmness of “knowing the truth” in his heart.
Although he heard the rumors that suddenly spread all over Never Night City when he was setting up defenses at the beginning, he was still somewhat worried about whether he would be suddenly exposed, whether he would be found out and suspected.
But soon, this old fox who had worked his way up from the bottom to the top and was familiar with Never Night City could smell a special smell from those rumors.
These news… were definitely released intentionally.
Although the purpose of the person who released the news was still unclear, Paris knew very well…
The more chaotic the situation, the safer he was.
Now even if someone reported that he was preparing to facilitate the assassination of the prince and nobles, it would be difficult to convince people in the first place.
Paris even had some doubts…
“Could it be that all this was done by that Forpolo?”
If that was the case, this person’s layout was really too huge.
Almost all the noble circles in the inner city of the Never-Sleeping City were discussing this rumor whose original source was unknown but seemed very credible.
But no matter what, for President Paris, who had already boarded the pirate ship and knew part of the mystery…
These vague rumors were constantly strengthening his confidence.
As for the mysterious disappearance of Forboluo, in Paris’s opinion, he must be planning something.
“Dear Mr. Huo Le of Never-Sleeping City, I don’t think you need to worry too much about Mr. Forboluo. After all, his eccentric style of doing things is not overnight…”
“Besides,” President Paris looked at the time on his watch, “Although he has not shown up for the time being, the gift he prepared should arrive in a while.”
Although the coming-of-age ceremony and banquet will only start in the evening, most guests will visit in the afternoon.
However, the birthday gifts prepared by those dignitaries for Never-Sleeping City Huo Xing are often delivered in advance by servants, on the one hand to avoid trouble, on the other hand… naturally there are also safety considerations.
This is also the customary rule of each noble family – to prevent someone from tampering with the gifts and plotting against others.
After detailed security certification and inspection, the gifts will be stored in the warehouse or exhibition hall – there will be a special link to let Huo Xing from the Night Sky “visit” some of the gifts placed in the exhibition hall.
This is also the important reason why Huo Ming from the Night Sky intends to take one away… Time is limited, the links are complicated, and the total number of gifts is large and small, and they have to be moved around… It is easy to have loopholes and opportunities.
After all, it is called Huo Xing from the Night Sky birthday party, and many of the gifts are presented to the Night Sky family by those nobles and company managers in the name of Huo Xing from the Night Sky, and many of them are very large in weight and number.
Precious, rare, showing financial strength and face, and making friends with the Night Sky family…
Among the various criteria for giving gifts, Huo Xing from the Night Sky likes and is happy is the least important; just like the purpose of giving gifts, celebrating Huo Xing’s birthday is also the least important.
Of course, if you still want to hand it over to the Buyetian Fire Apricot in person, just inform the Buyetian family in advance – in this way, after the gift is checked, the servant will return it to the guest when the guest visits.
Judging from the current application, it seems that only Sheng Lankui intends to do this.
And the Shenglan family’s gift convoy was the first to arrive.
“The Shenglan family’s gift has arrived.”
“Fifteen Yeshan trees, twelve pieces of gold silk brocade embroidery, ten ornamental alchemical creations, a piece of Black Swamp Blood Crystal Stone, a blood lotus of Heishan Mountain…”
Boxes of gifts were moved in, followed by the Sorens family.
“Three sets of wild beast bones, thirty pieces of top-grade red gold, thirty pieces of top-grade white copper, a bottle of aged wine from Wudao Manor…”
Shuiyin and the Qiu family also arrived almost at the same time.
After that, there were no more gift convoys in the name of the family. The high-standard gifts sent by various dukes, marquises and the top directors and executives of the three major companies appeared one after another, and were delivered in person by their personal assistants or butlers.
Further down, the nobles with the title of earl and the high officials with lower positions, their descendants even came in person to deliver gifts first.
The strict hierarchical order of the Never Night City was displayed in the form of a queue at the side door of the Never Night family at this moment.
While the housekeeper and servants of the Never Night family were counting the gifts in order…
A small pickup truck from the Truth Company drove straight from the other side and stopped directly at the side door.
Huo Le of the Never Night looked at the bright orange pickup truck with two oranges next to the Truth Company logo on the front of the car, and frowned at Paris: “Why did you let someone drive it directly here?”
Although this was the first time Huo Le of the Never Night had seen it, it was not difficult for her to guess that this wild and flamboyant car was Paris’s car!
President Paris said quickly: “Your Excellency, although this is my car, I have already lent it out to my subordinates along with the car…”
“Your Excellency, Mr. Huo Le, this car is now used by Mr. Forbolo – in other words, the gift he prepared has arrived.”
The car door also opened at this time.
Paris looked at the figure coming down and greeted him quickly.
“Stiller, why did you park the car directly at the door?”
Stiller stood there, silent, and then replied: “President, it was Mr. Forbolo’s order – he asked me to deliver it as soon as possible.”
Then, Stiller pointed to the huge box covered with black cloth behind the pickup truck.
This stiff tone made Paris look embarrassed. He looked at the Nevernight Fire Music: “Sir, my subordinate has been working in the Security Department and has been in the Great Wilderness for a long time. He doesn’t know the rules very well.”
The Nevernight Fire Music shook his head: “It doesn’t matter. Since Forpolo said that his gift needs to be delivered as soon as possible, give him priority…”
“What is it?”
As the Nevernight Fire Music said, two servants stepped forward and lifted the black cloth.
Then, exclamations rang out around.
“What a great hand!”
Even though the people around were the confidants of the nobles and company executives, each of them was well-informed, they couldn’t help but marvel at the gift that appeared on the back seat.
Even the Nevernight Fire Music nodded slightly, slightly surprised.
“Really thoughtful…”
It was a huge landscape aquarium – seaweed, reefs, gravel, everything.
In this world without the sea, since it began to exchange with other worlds, everything related to the “ocean” has become the most luxurious luxury that can show one’s status!
Ordinary nobles are proud to have a specimen of marine life – even many civilians will tattoo the marine life they have seen and known on their bodies to show that they are knowledgeable.
And the top dignitaries will have aquariums with seawater and marine life!
Aquariums like this one with seaweed are extremely expensive.
But this is not enough to arouse the amazement of the people around.
Because in this aquarium, everyone saw a fresh, small octopus, swimming happily in it.
Of course, most people present could not recognize that it was an octopus, they only knew that it was some kind of magical and beautiful marine life.
Only a few nobles knew what it was – but most of them had never seen a living one, and even if they had, they had never seen such a beautiful pink little octopus.
At this moment, even if the Nightless Sky Fire Music had not spoken, everyone would no longer be dissatisfied with the “cut-in” gift sent by Forbolo.
Precious gifts like this should come before your mundane possessions!
