NOVEL NEXT Chapter 373 Secret Gathering_2
Of course, there was no official relationship between them. Lady Margaret had once been his mistress.
Or rather, Lady Margaret was the mistress of many important figures, and when she was young, she was indeed very beautiful, making it impossible to refuse her.
Of course, those beautiful memories lingered in the past, and Henry Marshall no longer had any interest in a sixty-year-old woman, or one might say he had little interest in women at all now.
Important figures from the Planter family boarded the cruise ship one after another, and besides them, leaders of other interest-related organizations and factions were also present.
There weren't many people worthy of Lady Margaret's personal welcome.
Besides Henry Marshall, there was also a young man in a suit, with a robust physique.
This young man looked just over thirty, had a head of blonde hair, and was quite tall.
As soon as he entered the banquet hall, Lady Margaret smiled and approached him, taking his hand and leading him to meet others.
When introducing Henry Marshall, Henry Marshall joked, "Is this your new boy toy?"
Lady Margaret laughed so heartily that the garden hat on her head almost fell off.
However, the blonde young man beside her didn't seem too pleased.
He introduced himself in a serious tone, "I am Gerard Perkins, the current First Knight of the Round Table Knights."
"Oh! Lady Margaret's taste is as good as always," Henry Marshall remarked with a smile.
The Round Table Knights is one of the top ten mercenary organizations in the world and a strong contender for the top three.
The owner behind the Round Table Knights is the Planter family.
The one who died in the Sea Demon World, Gilbert Ocam, was the Chief Knight of the Round Table Knights, and he was personally chosen by Lady Margaret.
Unfortunately, Gilbert Ocam is already dead, but the Round Table Knights cannot be without high-rank combat power. So, the moment they received the news of Gilbert Ocam's death, Lady Margaret selected a newcomer.
As for the joke Henry Marshall made, it wasn't important.
Lady Margaret defended her newly selected knight, saying, "Old Henry, you'd better be nice to Gerard, tonight's safety is all dependent on him."
The strength of the Round Table Knights is notable even on Blue Star, and Henry Marshall naturally understood that for Gerard Perkins to become the First Knight, his combat power couldn't be weak.
Moreover, being Lady Margaret's new knight, a bit of respect was indeed warranted, so he raised his glass and clinked it with him.
Henry Marshall turned to look at another person standing in the corner of the banquet hall, a person wearing a knight's iron mask.
He pointed at that person with the hand holding his wine glass and asked, "I thought that was the new knight you chose."
Lady Margaret glanced in the direction he pointed and casually replied, "Also a knight, I didn't ask for the name."
Henry Marshall asked in confusion, "Then why wear a mask? It seems his eyes are black."
Lady Margaret replied casually, "That's not important, let's drink."
...
Dozens of important figures within the Planter family's network were singing and dancing, drinking and chatting in the cruise ship banquet hall.
An hour later, seven of the highest-ranking individuals left the banquet hall and went to a meeting room in the center of the cruise ship to meet.
This gathering wasn't just for fun; there were serious matters to discuss, which is why so many important figures were brought together.
Henry Marshall had drunk some wine, with a breath full of alcohol, but his mind was still clear.
Lady Margaret led the First Knight Gerard Perkins in, but with her came a person wearing the knight's iron mask.
Henry Marshall found it a bit strange and asked, "Margaret, do you really need to bring so many bodyguards?"
Lady Margaret turned and saw the person wearing the knight's iron mask, and asked in confusion, "Did I ask you to come in?"
The person with the iron mask glanced around, seeing everyone was present, raised his hand, and removed his mask with a smile, saying, "With everyone here, how could you be without me?"
When the mask was removed, it revealed a face with black hair and black eyes—it was Lu Heng.
The important members of the Planter family present were momentarily stunned upon seeing Lu Heng.
If it were a month ago, some of them might not recognize Lu Heng, but now everyone could recognize this face.
Because the Chief Knight Gilbert Ocam, whom they had invested a massive amount of resources to train, was killed by this Great Xia superpower user in front of them.
The things they had been doing recently were all to deal with the person in front of them.
Even the meeting after tonight's banquet was meant to discuss this matter.
The Planter family successfully created the Great Xia superpower user threat theory through ASE Alliance's media channels.
Even many Great Xia superpower users started cursing the name of Lu Heng, and the internet was a mess.
If Lu Heng didn't have a strong mindset, he would have been overwhelmed by the curses by now.
Yet, such a person unexpectedly appeared at the Planter family's secret gathering spot.
Lady Margaret realized that the person in front of her was someone to be dealt with, her gaze turned cold, and she looked at Gerard Perkins beside her.
Gerard Perkins, having enough intelligence to become the First Knight, immediately reached out to seize Lu Heng, intending to subdue him.
Even if he couldn't subdue him, he had to expel Lu Heng from the meeting room to prevent him from harming the important people there.
However, as soon as he extended his hand, Lu Heng grabbed and twisted his wrist, pressing it onto the table.
