Chapter 180 The Dinner Begins (Part Two)

I don't know if it's because the door wasn't closed after Joe Cowen entered.

When Jin uttered the words "reveal the truth," Gu Wei suddenly developed a patch of goosebumps on his arm.

Although it was known back on Morde that something must have gone wrong with Boska.

But as the truth was about to be revealed, a sense of impending doom filled Gu Wei's heart.

Is it finally coming?
“Old Joe,” just as Gu Wei’s emotions were fluctuating, Jin quickly made arrangements: “Go and call Adele and Ophelia over as well. After all, one is Princess Boska and the other is a princess. It would be inappropriate for them not to show up at a banquet.”

Qiao Kewen's projected lips twitched, a hint of concern appearing on his face: "Sending their real bodies over? Wouldn't that be a bit dangerous?"

Although I don't know what the truth Jin was talking about really is.

However, judging from the current situation, what happened to Boko III is 99.999% unlikely to be a good thing, especially considering the timing of Adele and Ophelia's personal presence.
“They must be there in person, that’s very important,” Jin interrupted Qiao Kewen with a serious tone. However, since Qiao Kewen wasn’t a crew member of the Fluttering Fluttering, Jin’s tone softened after a moment of firmness: “As for their safety, you can rest assured. I’ve seen much bigger scenes than this. Ensuring that the mother and daughter are safe is very easy.”

Qiao Kewen hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to trust Jin: "Okay, I'll go find them now."

Jin nodded, her expression showing no displeasure whatsoever.

After all, Joe Cowen hadn't known them for very long. Although he knew the fleet was no ordinary exploration group because of the Eraser incident, he didn't really have a concrete idea of ​​just how extraordinary they were.

In this situation, which involves his own sister and niece, it's completely understandable that he hesitated.

After watching Joe Cowen leave.

Jin then looked at Meimei: "Meimei, go and tell the captain and the others to come back as soon as possible—tell them that Nuonuo has been secretly drinking liquid energy again."

"Okay!" Meimei made a gesture similar to "salute": "Understood!"

Then Jin turned her gaze away from Meimei and onto Gu Wei: "You're the last one, kid. So, are you ready?"

"emmmmm"

Gu Wei scratched his head somewhat awkwardly: "You really want me to do that?"

“Of course, didn’t we already agree on this?” Jin left her seat and came to Gu Wei’s side, patting him hard on the shoulder: “To be serious, you are even the key to victory or defeat this time. Whether we can break this deadlock depends entirely on you—this is also part of the plan, understand?”

Gu Wei: "."

A few minutes later.

Jokowen led Adele and Ophelia back to the control room.

Another hour passed.

Milo, Chestnut, Kai, and Hina Cohen, who were sent out by Jin, all returned to the ship one after another.

After everyone has arrived.

As previously arranged, Nono and the three androids remained on the spaceship, while the rest of the group disembarked in an orderly fashion.

Outside the ship, the Chief of Internal Affairs, Lynn, was still in charge of receiving guests. Upon seeing Joe Cowen and the others, he stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Governor Joe Cowen, Your Highness the Queen, Your Highness the Princess."

"Greetings, Chief of Internal Affairs," after Milo and the others activated their camouflage suits and boarded the crew, Jokowen continued to act as the person in charge: "Please lead the way, don't keep His Majesty waiting." Lynn bowed again and gestured for them to follow: "Please come with me."

Then, just like the day before, Lynn led Joe Cowen and his party into the palace and onto the elevator platform.

However, this time the platform stopped at the fifth floor of the palace, not the sixth floor. This is the exclusive area where state banquets are held.

Reminded by Kai the day before.

When Gu Wei ascended the platform, he paid special attention to the external scenery and indeed saw many high-level mechs patrolling back and forth.

"By the way, Chief of the Interior Lynn," Jokowen casually chatted with Lynn during the brief moment the platform was rising, "How is His Majesty's recovery going?"

Standing at a corner of the platform, Lynn replied respectfully yet with composure, "Thank you for your concern, Governor. The medical team has provided His Majesty with thorough treatment, and he is now fully recovered. There will be no further incidents of disrespect at the banquet."

"It's good that you're alright," Qiao Kewen chuckled, and continued, "By the way, who exactly was present at the banquet tonight?"

Lynn held his right wrist with his left hand and placed both hands in front of him, introducing them one by one: "All the royal children, including the eldest prince, the second princess, the third prince, and the two youngest princesses, will be attending the banquet. The three princesses and several princes and dukes—that is, the brothers and sisters of His Majesty Boko III—have also been seated."

"In addition, several other important court officials were also invited to attend, such as His Excellency Kresan, the Minister of Finance, Ms. Samantha Sek, the head of the Heraldry, and the two ministers and deputy ministers of the Armaments Department. Excluding the guests, the total number of people from the Persian side attending was thirty-six."

Qiao Kewen exchanged a glance with Jin without showing any emotion, and replied casually, "That must have been quite a spectacle."

Gu Wei quickly started calculating in his mind.

Thirty-six people were present.

Boko III had seven sons, eleven daughters, and four wives. If you include his brothers and sisters, there should be about seven or eight other important court officials.

If nothing unexpected happens, these people should all be the heads of their respective departments, the absolute core of the political circle.

Especially Samantha Sek, the head of the Heraldry Academy; Jin had just discussed her with Meimei not long ago.

I wonder if the current director of the Royal Institute, who succeeded Walker Ramsey after his death, will also be there.

The current director of the Royal Institute is clearly more problematic than Samantha Yasek.

More importantly...
How does Jin plan to uncover the so-called truth?

With countless questions in my mind.

Two minutes later.

The platform came to a steady stop in one area.

Lynn led everyone down the platform and gestured in a certain direction:
"Governor, the banquet hall is just ahead."

Note:
I stayed up for nineteen hours yesterday before I could fall asleep. I was so sleepy when I got into bed, but for some reason I only slept for four hours before waking up and couldn't fall back asleep no matter what I did.

I'm extremely tired right now and my heart is very uncomfortable. I have a bunch of ideas I want to write, but I don't dare to keep writing (I'm afraid of sudden death, my heart is really clenching). I can only write 2,000 words and then watch videos to keep going until 4 a.m. (I was supposed to write one chapter today and yesterday). I don't dare to play games either. I'll take a sleeping pill tonight and get a good night's sleep. I should be able to adjust tomorrow. I'm really sorry.
