Hearing Sheng Lankui’s words, Paris was stunned for a moment, and then fell into memories.
“Your gift was sent in with the Shenglan family’s convoy,” Paris rubbed his hands and asked carefully, “There are many objects similar to sculptures in it, and the Shenglan family’s housekeeper didn’t emphasize it. May I ask which one it is?”
Obviously, he recalled for a long time but couldn’t remember which sculpture was sent by Sheng Lankui.
Sheng Lankui waved his hand unsatisfiedly: “You can’t tell that I sent a half-length portrait carved by myself!”
President Paris looked at the direction of Sheng Lankui’s finger, his face changed slightly, and then he hurried over, tore off the label of “Evil God Sculpture for Sacrifice of the Great Wilderness Tribe” and stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it, and then personally lifted the statue over.
“Oh, so this is the sculpture of Lord Huo Xing of Nevernight that you carved. We thought it was the work of some sculptor because it was so exquisite,” Paris hurriedly called the servant, “Hurry up, move this sculpture to a display case in the middle and mark it as being made by Lord Sheng Lankui himself.”
Paris said seriously, and Sheng Lankui nodded.
“That’s about right… Huo Xing would definitely want to see such a good gift from me first.”
Paris immediately smiled and said, “Yes, I think so… Lord Huo Xing of Nevernight would definitely like it very much.”
At Sheng Lankui’s request, the display case of the sculpture was placed next to the largest display case closest to the aquarium, forming a sharp contrast.
Standing between the two, Sheng Lankui couldn’t help but sigh.
“Although this aquarium is also very precious, compared to the sculpture that I put so much effort into, Forbolo… your ‘kindness’ has lost to me!”
“After all, this is the sculpture of Huo Xing herself – Huo Xing will be very moved after seeing it.”
Sheng Lankui said intoxicatedly.
Hearing this, Paris behind him looked at the statue, then opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the words were choked in his throat.
In the end, Paris could only move his eyes to the aquarium next to him and change the subject: “Hey, why are there so many bubbles?”
The vice president of Shenli Group, whose face was flushed, also quickly shifted his attention: “Is the oxygen generator turned on?”
“Impossible, this aquarium is not equipped with an oxygen generator.”
Paris said casually.
After all, except for the pink octopus, everything in this aquarium is his.
The vice president of Shenli Group also nodded: “It might be the air intake. The road was bumpy, the top was not completely sealed, and the tank was so big… By the way, compared to this aquarium, this octopus is too small, right?”
“Maybe this octopus can grow very big,” Paris said thoughtfully, “After all, I have seen that kind of documentary before. This thing called ‘octopus’ seems to be as tall as several floors in the world with oceans. It feeds on people in the ocean… There is a person named Jack Sparrow, who is probably a legendary mercenary at sea. He was eaten by a super-large octopus.”
“I see.”
The two of them talked back and forth, and the topic was not at all the intrigues when they first met, but very innocent and casual.
After all, both of them were trying to divert their attention so that they would not lose their composure in front of Sheng Lankui because of his sculpture.
Sheng Lankui also spoke again at this time.
“Speaking of which, where is Forbolo?”
“As a commoner, shouldn’t he enter now?”
In response, Paris repeated what he had said to Nevernight Huo Le before.
“Mr. Forbolo said he has a surprise, so he will arrive a little later.”
Sheng Lankui raised his eyebrows.
“Surprise? Evil ways!”
“What surprise can compare to showing sincerity by arriving early?”
“It seems that Forpolo has been completely defeated by me…”
“After all, he has only recently started pursuing the Nevernight Fire Apricot, and I have been pursuing the Nevernight Fire Apricot for a long time, so this is the first victory!”
“Secondly, my gift is handmade, full of sincerity and love, so this is the second victory!”
“Finally, today I, as a noble, arrived early, and he, as a commoner, planned to arrive late… This is the third victory!”
Finally, Sheng Lankui proudly announced: “It seems that I must be the one chosen by the Fire Apricot Club.”
Although they didn’t know who Sheng Lankui was talking to, Paris and the people around him applauded when they heard him say that.
“Well said!”
After that, Sheng Lankui suddenly approached Paris.
“President Paris, please tell me in a low voice… where did Forbolo go, and what time will he arrive?”
President Paris was helpless: “I really don’t know this!”
He also wanted to know where Forbolo went and what he did.
Sheng Lankui looked at Paris carefully, and then snorted coldly: “He is loyal.”
At this time, there was another noisy voice at the door.
“Sir… why did you arrive early?”
Accompanied by the respectful and unexpected greetings from the butler of Buyetian outside the door, it was not difficult for the people in the venue to guess…
“Another prince and noble arrived first?”
“Who is it this time?!”
And then, a skinny old man in a navy blue robe with white hair and beard walked into the exhibition hall slowly with a cane.
Beside him, there was only a butler wearing a white mask, and not many servants accompanying him.
But… no one thought that the old man in front of them was of low status.
Everyone bowed again, even Sheng Lankui, who was also a royal noble and even the direct heir, had to bend his waist slightly and greet him.
“Respected Sir Art Mercury, the younger Sheng Lankui greets you.”
The slightly staggering and slightly hunched old man paused his cane and spoke in a serious and calm tone: “Sheng Lankui? The third son of Sheng Lanjin, right?”
“I haven’t seen you for many years. The last time I saw you, you didn’t remember anything… Are your parents in good health now? Ah Jin worked a lot when he was young and practiced alchemy like a life-threatening person. I’m afraid that some sequelae will appear when he is old…”
“Reply to your old “If you say so, my father has been in good health in recent years, although he has some minor problems, they are not serious,” Sheng Lankui paused, “My mother… is still the same, not worse, but still can only stay in bed.”
Alt suddenly realized, then shook his head: “I said something wrong… People get confused when they get old, and they say everything. I offended you.”
“No, you are also kind.”
Sheng Lankui whispered, and then suddenly felt the palm of his hand being held by Alte Mercury, and a warm current surged.
“What is…?”
“Life essence, when I was young, I was the head of the Mercury family. I have forgotten all my powerful skills, but I have some tricks left, but they can still help,” Alte Mercury said lightly, “You have learned alchemy, go back and pass it to your mother.”
Sheng Lankui pursed his lips, then bowed again.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that he who accepted the assassination commission… was really a piece of shit.
