Chapter 225 Shameless
"Kaslan? What brings you here?" Jiang Yu blinked, paused for a moment, and then stepped out of his arms.
Keslan didn't stop her, letting her leave his arms with her strength.
"Lord Jiangyu, it's been a long time. What, are you not welcoming me?" Keslan's voice was deep, with a slightly hoarse tone.
I finally got to hug her again.
It smells so good, it's soft and fluffy, and it's so pretty today.
“Not at all, guests are always welcome.” Jiang Yu thought of the other party’s complicated background and said politely, “Chief Keslan’s timing is perfect. Why don’t you stay and join the banquet and experience the charm of Hollandpur County?”
He grabbed Moya, who was rushing over as if ready to fight, and said, "Moya, this is the leader of Keslan. You've met him before, so why don't you get to know each other again?"
The implication is that we should let bygones be bygones after this unpleasant meeting; things have finally calmed down, so don't cause me trouble on my turf.
Moa wasn't stupid. He was holding a child in his arms and managed to squeeze out a greeting through his back teeth: "Hello, Chief Keslan."
Keslan glanced at Jiang Yu and Moya's almost matching outfits, a glint of malice flashing in his eyes. They were really quick; they'd already assigned this sea monster an identity so fast.
He actually dared to appear so openly beside her, and even dressed so intimately. Tsk, and he was supposed to be waiting for her to beg him to get an identity for the sea monster.
Who exactly has the audacity to do this?
Keslan soon sensed a hostile gaze directed at him.
He turned his gaze and met the undisguised scrutiny of the red-haired, red-eyed divine messenger. How interesting. Such blatant hostility. Wasn't this divine messenger only recently awakened? They'd never met before, had they?
Then there is only one possibility. The messenger knew more than he imagined; he not only knew about the people and events around his wife during her coma, but also glimpsed his hidden thoughts.
That's really something. It seems that Moa's identity was also arranged by this divine messenger.
"Hello, Mr. Moya." Keslan stared at Fan Qingyin not far away, but didn't forget to respond to Moya's greeting, clearly not taking politeness to heart.
Lin Yi quickly walked to Jiang Yu's side and subtly shielded her behind him. He had met and spoken with Keslan before, so it seemed most appropriate for him to handle the negotiations.
"Chief Keslan, I was wondering why we hadn't received your bill. We were just about to send someone to inquire, and look what a coincidence that you've come." We didn't invite you; you'd better come to deliver the bill.
“Well, given my friendship with Lord Jiang Yu, the bill isn’t a rush.” Keslan glanced at Lin Yi, his gaze sweeping over him, and looked at Jiang Yu with a smile: “Isn’t that right, Lord Jiang Yu?”
"What kind of friendship do you have with me?" Jiang Yu said with a black line on his face.
Not knowing what to say, he awkwardly said, "After all, you've gone to so much trouble, you should do the math carefully so you don't lose out."
Keslan's eyes shone brightly, his yellow pupils shining as he looked at Jiang Yu: "No rush, we don't need to be so calculating between us."
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding people's radars immediately went off, and Moya and Lin Yi's expressions also turned ugly.
Jiang Yu finally realized something amidst the eerie atmosphere. She looked at Keslan again in disbelief, trying to see something deep in his piercing eyes.
No way......
At this moment, Fan Qingyin finally walked over unhurriedly and greeted her politely: "I have long admired your name, Chief of Keslan."
He then looked at the crowd gathered around him and said gently, "Why don't you all go and get something to eat? The kitchen just delivered some pastries with fresh fruit fillings, go and have a taste."
The onlookers immediately nodded obediently, dispersed, and even consciously moved to sit down at tables further away.
Soon, the area around them was cleared out.
Fan Qingyin then smiled and looked at Keslan: "I have heard that Chief Keslan has helped my wife more than once, and I am very grateful." After speaking, she solemnly gave a half bow.
"The name of the divine messenger is renowned far and wide, and I greatly admire him." Keslan bowed his head in return, but when he raised his eyes again, they were full of provocation.
It's ridiculous! Fan Qingyin almost laughed out of anger at his provocation. What right does this madman have to provoke him? Not to mention that Xiao Yu has no interest in him at all, his so-called protection and help are all based on a transaction.
What is this guy relying on? Could it be his shady dark organization and his own combat power?
Sorry, the Dark Organization doesn't even look at them. Now, Xiao Yu has Mo Ya, the strongest fighter, by her side.
That's shameless.
"Chief Keslan, did you come to Hollandpur specifically for this event? It's such a coincidence that you ended up at the county banquet. It's also because we just got back and had a lot of things to do, so we didn't have time to invite you."
Fan Qingyin's words were full of subtle barbs, and he also glanced at Keslan's black tuxedo without hiding it.
Arriving at the banquet on time without an invitation, and even wearing formal attire—was someone keeping a close watch on this place? What was their intention?
Another layer of meaning is that he is not important to them, and he is definitely not someone Jiang Yu cares about. They did not invite him, nor did they really welcome him.
Unfortunately, although Keslan could understand, he didn't care about the attacks in his words. Instead, he began to explain seriously, but he was addressing Jiang Yu.
"I won't go into the details of the Wilman family's affairs to disgust Lord Jiang Yu, but Mr. Wilman saved one of my underlings' half-grown boys before he died."
"That kid is an orphan. He only got a name when he was recruited into the Sea Beast Corps. His name is Gray Mo. He is a grateful person. After learning about the Wilman family, he came to the Wilman family in Hollandpur after the mission to see if there was anything he could do to help."
"Unfortunately, Mr. Wilman had long since disbanded his family. The remaining members of the Wilman family knew the enormity of their sins and, fearing repercussions, had all left one after another."
"The once prosperous family has now fallen apart, leaving nothing but an empty house. Since Hui Mo had no home, he cleaned it up and lived there for a while."
"He was the one who told me you were coming back."
Jiang Yu lowered her eyes and didn't speak. The past is the past. The people who once lived together so vividly went to their own tragic ends because of their choices.
In any case, there is no need for her to express her opinion or make any further judgments.
"So, as a parent, I also want to ask the lord for a favor on behalf of my children." Keslan tried to understand Jiang Yu's thoughts and tentatively explained his purpose.
“That child Hui Mo has a pitiful background. It’s rare that he had a chance to meet Mr. Wilman. He wants to come back often to help Mr. Wilman clean and tidy up his house and occasionally pay respects to him.”
"I hope to buy the Wilman family's house, just to give Gray a home."
