After the simulation, the female characters in Detective Conan break down.

However, one could still vaguely see the wicked look on his lips.

He probably wished he could put all his weight on that woman.

"Gentlemen! Please follow me."

At this time.

A clear, cool voice interrupted the old man's "prank".

The old man jumped off the woman's back with a look of disappointment.

Then he stood there tidying up his clothes.

Hoshino and the old man followed a beautiful young girl to the gate of the castle.

A robust, white-haired old man stood at the doorway.

He was dressed in a splendid black suit, with an extraordinary air about him; he was clearly no ordinary person!

The white-haired old man saw Hoshino Ki arrive.

He immediately put on a friendly expression.

Then he strode quickly toward Hoshinogi.

Hoshinoki focused his attention on the white-haired old man.

Although the old man had a kind and amiable appearance.

However, the chilling aura emanating from him could not be concealed at all.

Based solely on first impressions.

Hoshino was certain that the old man's strength was no less than that of the man beside him.

However! Fortunately, neither of the two old men showed any hostility towards Hoshinoki.

If we really fight those two...

It's really hard to say who will win or lose.

"Haha, I've heard so much about you from the boss, Louis, haven't I?"

"I finally met you in person today, and I didn't expect you to be so young!"

The old man warmly shook Hoshinoki's hand as soon as he arrived.

"You are...?"

Hoshinogi said he did not recognize the person in front of him.

"In the organization, besides the BOSS, he is the highest-ranking person. He is Ballantines, the organization's second-in-command."

The old man took out a wine flask from his pocket.

Unscrew the lid on the wine jug.

He lazily poured the wine from the pot into his mouth.

"You flatter me, Martell, you're a senior member of the organization!"

Ballantine's smiled slightly, her eyes narrowed.

He tilted his head and spoke to Martell.

Hoshino quietly gazed at the two elderly men present.

Although it's not obvious on the face.

But he always felt that the two of them were secretly competing with each other.

Otherwise, why would Ballantine's completely ignore the existence of Ma 840 Dali in the first place?

"Come, come, please come in. I have prepared a very sumptuous dinner to entertain you two today."

Ballantine's quickly ushered the two into the castle.

Inside the castle's reception room.

The extremely lavish dinner has begun.

A large quantity of exquisite food was laid out on the rectangular dining table.

On top were also some delicious dishes that Hoshino had never seen before.

I hadn't eaten dinner that night.

My stomach is already growling.

So Hoshino didn't stand on ceremony with them.

He picked up his knife and fork and began to eat.

Meanwhile, Martell was just drinking like crazy.

They only eat a bite or two occasionally.

He was clearly a heavy drinker.

Ballantine's didn't seem to care about their rude behavior.

Because this dinner was originally intended for the two of them.

He won't restrict what you want to eat or how you eat it.

Maids stood on both sides of the dining table.

Their job is to serve tea and wipe mouths for guests at any time.

The row of maids standing on the left are all standard Chinese beauties.

Any one of them could be a big star.

The maid on the right is a beautiful woman with a Western appearance.

They were all blonde and blue-eyed, with extremely hot figures.

can only say...

The lives of the rich are truly wonderful!

Ballantine noticed that Hoshino's gaze lingered on the maid.

He then joked that if Hoshino wanted, it wouldn't be impossible for him to take one away.

After the two had almost finished eating...

Ballantine's waved.

The maids and security personnel around them then walked out of the living room.

Just a moment.

Only the three people at the dining table remained in the entire reception room.

Let's get down to business!

"You've all known that the BOSS can't show up in person."

"So I will take the lead in explaining the rest."

"Do you two... have any objections?"

Ballantine's is speaking frankly and openly.

She made it clear from the start that she represented the BOSS.

Then who can say they "have an opinion"?

"No comment!"

“That’s fine with me.”

The two spoke one after the other.

"That's great. As you both saw, the BOSS is treating you with the highest level of care."

“We have also prepared the most luxurious house for the two of you in the city.”

"Furthermore, your personal information has been logged into our internal personnel network, and we will provide you with the best possible treatment..."

Ballantine's revealed a whole host of generous benefits within the organization in advance.

This feeling is very subtle.

Just like when I first joined a company in my previous life.

The wonderful...pie the boss described to you!

under these circumstances.

This often leads people to have many wonderful fantasies about the company.

However, after joining the company...

You'll find...

You've been scammed!
