I'm an antique shop owner, so it's reasonable for me to know some magic

Chapter 394 Banquet Dispute, Emergency

It was so direct, which showed that the other party had no intention of chatting or getting to know each other.

Cullen's face froze, and a little anger emerged in his heart.

Damn Piero, didn't he say he was easy to deal with?!
After all, he worked in the government, so he still kept smiling on the surface, without any change.

"I learned from Piero that you two have given him great help in his work, so I came here to thank you."

"At the same time, I also want to meet some outstanding young people from the Holy See."

"I see. Nice to meet you, Mr. Cullen."

Theresa nodded.

"But I have other things to do and I'm about to leave the party. It's not appropriate to talk now. I'll see you later."

Having said that, he was about to leave.

Cullen's face changed, but soon returned to normal.

He moved sideways and stood right in front of Theresa.

“May I leave my contact information?”

Such persistence was beyond Theresa's expectations.

Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly realized that the man in front of her had lost focus and began to talk to himself in the air.

"If we don't leave now, will we continue to pester him after he wakes up?"

Su Fan beside him said with a smile.

He pulled Theresa around Cullen who was standing there.

The open-air observation deck is directly opposite the main gate, and if you want to leave, you have to go through the main banquet hall.

But at this moment, another figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

The other person was Chris who had been peeping before.

While he was talking to others, he saw Cullen walking towards Theresa, so he followed to see what was going on.

However, he didn't expect to see his prey just about to leave, so he immediately appeared and approached to chat with it.

"Beautiful lady, would you be so kind as to be my dancing partner and join me in the dance?"

Chris smiled what he thought was a very elegant smile.

But Theresa on the opposite side had her brows twisted into a knot.

This person, like the previous Cullen, made her feel disgusted.

Theresa had been approached countless times on the streets of Los Angeles.

Regardless of their race or age, the moment they see me, they will reveal a cloudy and sticky look in their eyes.

The feeling of being stared at is like having pine resin melted by the high temperature in summer fall on your hair.

But this time, before she could open her mouth to refuse, she felt strong arms directly wrapped around her waist.

"Sorry, she has an appointment."

Su Fan's voice came, and Theresa subconsciously turned her head to look.

The former's expression was not much different from the previous one.

But in reality, there is something subtle in my heart.

In my previous life, when I read novels, I always felt that the plots in which beautiful women attracted the covetousness of hooligans and the protagonist heroically saved the beauties were too cliché.

Who would have thought that there would be a time when I would be a flower protector.

Theresa's cold words can only work on those who can understand what people say. Once you meet someone shameless, you will inevitably get a headache.

For example, the thing in front of us clearly has no intention of giving up.

Just as Su Fan expected.

His actions did not make Chris on the opposite side retreat.

He looked at this assertion of sovereignty with a wide grin.

Having a male companion has never been an obstacle for him, but a plus.

Trampling on this vague love that only exists in its infancy can make him feel more accomplished.

However, the black-haired man's reaction was not intense enough, which made him quite disappointed.

If only I could be as hysterical as that girl’s boyfriend that day.

Chris thought so with some regret, and spoke with a lot of sarcasm.

"Who do you think you are? You want to be a hero and save the beauty, but don't you consider your own worth?!"

"How does it feel to pretend to be a transcendent and enter this banquet?"

The conversation between the two was not quiet and could be heard clearly even in the hall surrounded by music.

The attention of many guests who were chatting nearby was also drawn over.

A look of anticipation appeared on their faces, and they gradually gathered together.

The attention from this group of people also made Chris feel comfortable all over. He felt as if he had taken illegal drugs and was in ecstasy.

Judging the person in front of you under the watchful eyes of everyone is like having sex ten times in bed!

Is this what power feels like? Maybe I should try my hand at politics...

Not far away, a young man in leather jacket, with his hands folded on his chest, leaned against the wall, watching this scene.

"Lawrence, Chris is messing around again, aren't you going to control him a little bit?"

A gothic girl with smoky makeup walked up to the young man.

The former glanced at the girl's interested smile and sneered.

"You want to see the situation escalate, right?"

"That idiot is now enjoying the limelight. Whoever dares to step forward to stop him will be his enemy."

"There's no need to make enemies with despicable people for the sake of an ordinary person."

Lawrence's speech made the Goth girl feel bored.

"No sense, why don't you dare to fight him?"

She squatted down on the spot, supported her cheek with her hands, and looked at the black-haired young man who had remained silent from beginning to end. The lollipop in her mouth hit her teeth, making a crackling sound.

"What a poor guy, being targeted by Chris."

"Perhaps someone will get rid of him in a few days, and use his life as a token of loyalty."

……

"Why, you can't speak?"

"Not only does he not have any extraordinary powers, he doesn't even have a decent piece of clothing. His entire body exudes the shabby and smelly smell of a low-class pariah."

"If you are smart, you should run along the wall like a mouse and leave here!"

For the first time, Theresa's face showed anger.

False accusations, insults, and foul language.

She glanced at the onlookers around her, but could only see mockery and indifference in their eyes.

"Sir, don't you have any intention of defending yourself?"

"How rude! Shouldn't you apologize first for causing such a commotion?"

"Security heard the noise and should be here soon to deal with it."

"How should he deal with it next? Will he start crying? I've seen him burst into tears too many times. It's really not enough to be a change of pace."

"Is he so frightened that he's not moving? That's boring. I thought he would at least put up a fight."

The man opposite was clearly humiliating all ordinary people without extraordinary powers, but the spectators present were not angry at all and completely forgot their own identities. It was as if they did not consider themselves human at all.

Yes, how could they, who are well-dressed and can easily spend a family's entire year's income on drinking, think that they are the same as ordinary people who have to work hard to support themselves?

Theresa, who saw through the true nature of these people, felt as if she was among a group of monsters.

She subconsciously raised her hand to hold the cross on her chest, but slowly put it down halfway.

The glory of God cannot work on such occasions.

In that case, just deal with it the way mortals do.

Theresa took a deep breath and was about to scold him.

But before he could open his mouth, he found that the man opposite him fell straight to the ground as if he had suddenly suffered a stroke!
Everything happened so suddenly and no one was prepared for it, so that the faint whispers at the scene disappeared completely.

At this moment, Chris on the ground was as shocked as an outsider.

When he realized that he was lying on the ground, unable to move, he immediately activated his ability.

At this moment, his perspective seemed to be detached from his body. He stood in a place where no one could see him, observing everything. At the same time, the acuity of all his senses increased rapidly.

That’s right, his ability is to separate his consciousness from his body, giving rise to a third-person perspective.

When this ability is activated, it cannot be detected by the enemy at all. It can obtain key information silently, and the cost is almost zero!

But as soon as his consciousness became independent, Chris regretted it.

The first thing he sensed was not the truth of the other party's actions.

But the sight of everyone!
Those pairs of eyes, like spotlights, shone on his fallen body, and the surprise and confusion in them quickly turned into laughter and mockery.

It only takes a few seconds from heaven to hell, but the difference was so huge that Chris almost roared to the sky with shame and anger.

But the latter did not forget his purpose and carefully checked if there was any change in his body.

However, nothing was found.

He had no wounds and looked healthy, even better than most people at the banquet.

He suddenly turned his head and looked at the culprit of all this, but found that the black-haired young man did not focus his eyes on the motionless body on the ground like the others.

Instead, she just looked at him straight in the eyes and spoke with a smile.

"Sir, sleeping anywhere is not allowed here."

As soon as these words were spoken, people who were closer to the scene couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The man who was so arrogant before collapsed almost in an instant. The contrast between the two was so strong that it was full of comedic effects.

"Why did you suddenly lie down?"

"I thought this guy was capable of something, but I didn't know when he was knocked down."

"Your performance as a clown was really good. I have to give you a compliment despite my humility."

But Chris no longer felt the discomfort he had before.

Because the great fear he suddenly felt had overwhelmed the shame and completely enveloped him!

This person can see his own consciousness!
why!
Chris has used his abilities more than once in the act of exorcising spirits.

Ordinary people cannot touch or perceive evil spirits, nor can they detect that there are eyes watching them.

But now, an unknown young man, an ordinary person who has never even revealed a single wave of power, can actually...

He quickly withdrew his ability, wanting to return his consciousness to his body.

But even this action, which he had repeated countless times, made Chris feel uneasy.

Since the other party can prove the existence of his independent consciousness, is there any way to prevent the consciousness from returning to the body?

Chris found himself on a solitary reef in the middle of a vast ocean, with no viable path to take.

Just when he was completely desperate, a figure appeared in front of his fallen body.

The man in leather jacket squatted down and put his palm on the forehead of Chris who had a dazed look on his face. After sensing for a while, he slowly spoke.

"There is nothing abnormal inside the body. The reason why he cannot move is that someone used illusion to forcibly cut off the connection between consciousness and body, causing the target to become a vegetable in the blink of an eye."

"Sir, that's a really good trick."

Su Fan looked at the man in leather jacket who slowly stood up, with a bit more scrutiny in his eyes.

Unlike the one who was "sleeping" on the ground, the one in front of him was able to detect the principle, which showed that he had some strength.

Lawrence, the man in leather jacket, was not as calm as he looked at this moment.

While talking to Su Fan, he remained alert at all times to avoid falling into the illusion created by the other party like Chris.

At the same time, the meat cleaver on the table next to him suddenly floated up, as if it had self-awareness, and flew around the man in leather jacket.

After these tablewares were rubbed against each other violently and emitted dense sparks, they became extremely sharp murder weapons.

But these steel knives did not attack the other party, but just surrounded him and the man on the ground.

In the crowd not far away, the Goth girl was quite surprised.

The man in leather jacket is one of the strongest people in their group. Not only that, he possesses quite comprehensive abilities.

In a head-on collision, even the boss would find it difficult to gain any advantage from him.

Nowadays, people are so alert when facing ordinary people without any extraordinary fluctuations.

On the other hand, Su Fan found this scene quite interesting.

He originally thought that the other party should be a supernatural being with spiritual abilities, but now he finds that he seemed to have thought too simply of the other party.

The reason he was able to manipulate the steel knife just now was not because he had special powers regarding metals, but because of the force of magnetism.

From the magnets that children play with to the rotation of the earth, everything is closely related to magnetism.

It was so special that Su Fan thought of Magneto from the X-Men.

But the man in leather jacket is far inferior to Lao Wan in many ways.

"Since you haven't completely destroyed his consciousness, it means that you also think that his crime does not deserve death. How about showing mercy and letting him go?"

The man in the leather jacket obviously wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter.

Su Fan naturally saw the other party's intention, but he did not agree. He just asked calmly.

"You want to be a peacemaker, and now you're trying to reason with me?"

The man in leather jacket looked a little embarrassed, but still nodded.

“You didn’t come out when he came up and said rude things to my friend.

When everyone told me to get out of here, you didn't come out.

Now I'll teach him a lesson. You come to me and say forgiveness when you can.

Do you think I will listen?"

"Get out of the way, this kind of person is not worth your risk."

Lawrence, the man in leather jacket, had a tense face and was unable to speak.

He also knew that his current behavior was somewhat shameless, but there was a critical task to be carried out next, which would be difficult to accomplish without Chris's special perception ability.

To do this he had to save this guy's life.

Even he himself was unhappy with the other party.

Not far away, a man who was talking to someone next to him finally noticed the commotion here.

Seeing Lawrence surrounded by sharp blades, his expression became solemn.

"Sorry to excuse you."

He put down the wine glass in his hand and prepared to go and check.

But the moment he took a step forward, the originally bright main banquet hall suddenly fell into darkness!
