NOVEL NEXT Chapter 641 Special Guest
A princess attending the wedding of a merchant was indeed beyond everyone's expectations. In actuality, deep down, Anna had always harbored an inexplicable affection for Ye Shikai, but due to her status, this little secret was only known to Elder Allen. Perhaps after the incident on Holy Mountain, she realized that her status meant she could never be with Ye Shikai. More importantly, she recognized that Su Qingyu held the most important place in Ye Shikai's heart.
Dressed in a princess's attire, Anna looked generous and elegant like the heroine of an opera. Anna had a high profile in the West, regarded as a beautiful goddess. With her arrival, several elders from the King's Church also entered.
"My goodness, that must be Princess Anna of the Royals. How did she even come here?"
"What... What kind of status does Mr. Ye have, to be able to invite such people?"
The crowd below began discussing again, having their eyes opened by today's wedding, featuring Bonarson and Anna, symbols of wealth and power, now both on Ye Shikai's side. However, Wang Qian's eyes flashed with a strange color, which Ye Shikai keenly noticed—the Wang Family might be making a move.
"Anna, welcome to the event," Ye Shikai turned and greeted Anna with a sincere smile.
"See, I keep my word," said Anna with a slight smile, wearing sunglasses, her pale skin appeared delicate. Indeed, Anna was a Western beauty.
"Welcome."
"Why isn't your wife here?" asked Anna softly.
"She's resting in the back, she didn't sleep well last night. I hope she doesn't get too tired for the wedding," Ye Shikai explained.
"It seems you really care about her," Anna paused then cracked a knowing smile, "but she loves you the same, otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to Holy Mountain on her own."
"Indeed."
"We meet again, Hades," said Elder Allen, who walked over with a frail air. His attitude towards Ye Shikai was quite neutral. In reality, as the Great Elder of the King's Church, he looked down upon figures from the Underworld, considering himself a noble crane amongst earthly beasts. His pride didn't mean he ignored everyone, as power was the true foundation for discussion, which made him consider compromising when Zeus threatened him on Holy Mountain to hand over Su Qingyu.
"Elder Allen and all the esteemed elders, welcome, please take a seat," Ye Shikai said evenly. Anna's dual status as a politician and royalty meant her security was bound to be tight, and Ye Shikai guessed there were many secret bodyguards present at the venue.
"Anna, please take a seat for a while; the wedding will start soon."
"Okay."
.................................
At the entrance of the venue.
"Hold on, wait." Demoness stood aside, carefully inspecting the incoming guests, until she spotted a "suspicious" person.
"What is it?" In front of Demoness stood a woman wearing sunglasses.
"Please take off your sunglasses; we need to confirm your identity," Demoness said calmly, but the woman stood there unperturbed and simply turned her head away slightly.
"If you won't cooperate, we must proceed," said Demoness, quickly removing the woman's sunglasses. The woman, clearly not expecting Demoness to act, took a couple of steps back instinctively.
"Iga Kawa, how is it you?" Demoness exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the person clearly.
"Give me back my sunglasses." Yes, the woman was none other than Iga Kawa, whom she had encountered in Atlantis and was the heir to the Sect Leader of the Iga Clan.
"What are you here for? If you're looking for trouble, I advise you to pick another day; I guarantee a showdown," Demoness said fiercely. It was evident she had no fond feelings towards Iga Kawa, even with some hostility. Today was a joyous day for Ye Shikai, and her sneaky entrance could hardly be with good intentions.
"Isn't today Hades' wedding? Do you mean I should not come?" Iga Kawa put her sunglasses back on and spoke coldly.
"Do you have an invitation?" Before Demoness could reply, a bright red invitation was already in view.
"So, can I enter now?" asked Chuanzi coolly.
"You... Who knows if this invitation is real or fake," Demoness muttered.
"You invite me and doubt me; is this how you Huaxia people treat guests?" Chuanzi couldn't help but retort.
"Demoness, step back," at this moment, Ye Shikai's voice came from behind the two women. Seeing their flushed faces, he probably understood what had happened. Iga Kawa was indeed his guest, which he had forgotten to inform Ghost about.
"Chuanzi, welcome to my wedding banquet," Ye Shikai said with a smile, "It was my oversight for not notifying my subordinates."
"Forget it, I can't be bothered to quarrel with her," Chuanzi turned her head, her voice still carried a strong hint of resentment.
"This is a gift for you," Chuanzi picked up a gift box from the table, long and flat, seemingly some elongated item.
"I'm curious about your gift," Ye Shikai smiled lightly, about to open the gift box, when a small hand suddenly reached out.
"Wait, let's talk about it after your wedding," Chuanzi's face slightly changed as she spoke softly.
"Alright then, the wedding is about to start, please come in."
.................................
"Huff, huff, huff, boss, I finally made it," Ye Shikai had just been about to enter when a cry came from behind. Turning his head, he saw Ghost running towards him, panting.
"What happened?" A sudden uneasy feeling surged in Ye Shikai's heart.
"Someone is sabotaging the monitoring network, I rushed to take control," Ghost glanced at the surrounding guests and whispered into Ye Shikai's ear.
"Boss, nothing went wrong at the venue, right?" Ghost asked worriedly.
"No, at least not yet. Anna and Bonarson have both arrived, and security is thorough. Even the entrance is being personally checked by Demoness," Ye Shikai rubbed his temples, speaking lightly. This wedding was really a huge concern for him.
"By the way, has Ji Qian arrived?" Suddenly, Ye Shikai seemed to remember something, speaking abruptly to Ghost.
"Lord Moon God... her phone's unreachable," Ghost hurriedly made a call, but all he heard was, "Sorry, the user you are trying to reach is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
