Game Invasion: A new term for each level
Chapter 86 Offerings at the Banquet
Yang Hui has indeed had a tough time.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Besides the head of the family and the matriarch, there are only three people in the Elias family, one of whom is me, Estella."
Snapped!
This is the most tiring part; you can't use your full strength.
"Oh~"
She had bruises on her body, and then she said:
"Theodore Elias, the second son of the Elias family, is in his prime. He... he is very ambitious, and I don't like him."
Yang Hui considered the matter in his mind.
Estella lowered her head and said, "Could...could you have more?"
Yang Hui was somewhat irritated and tightened his grip.
Although Estella resisted, her expression betrayed her.
Yang Hui was speechless. He still needed her to provide the information; he couldn't just kill her outright.
Yang Hui felt that using force to obtain intelligence was too slow and unprofessional.
This kind of intelligence-gathering game instance is really not suitable for Yang Hui.
However, he collects entries for each level, allowing him to adapt to different situations. If he possessed some kind of soul-searching technique, would he still be doing this to her?!
Yang Hui didn't have any special hobbies.
Who actually benefited in this situation?
Estella coughed and gently pounded the ground twice with her hand.
She said she felt like she was going to die.
Yang Hui reluctantly put her down.
Estella slammed onto the soft fabric.
Yang Hui looked down at him and asked, "Who was the last person, and... what does your family desire most?"
She leaned closer and said, "Could you have a little more? Just like I usually do."
Estella Elias! The eldest daughter of a noble and wealthy family! She was the absolute focus of attention at the banquet downstairs just now.
She is synonymous with being strong and aggressive, but at this moment she is kneeling at someone's feet.
How would Yang Hui know what she was like normally?
"You piece of trash! Uh..."
"not enough!"
Yang Hui was speechless. He only had time to clear the level tonight, and he didn't have time to mess around with her.
Yang Hui bent down and asked in a cold voice, "I'll ask you one last time, what does your family desire most?"
No one had ever treated her like this before, especially not Brad, who had always been extremely weak.
Yang Hui's face, which was usually full of obedience and deference, was now filled with suppressed anger, and his eyes were flashing with murderous intent.
Estella looked into those eyes and understood that this person truly intended to kill her.
A strange feeling quickly swept over my body, as if I had fallen into an ice cave.
That was an emotion she had never experienced before, called fear.
Her hair stood on end, and goosebumps rose all over her body.
"The Elias family desires the title of duke the most."
Yang Hui's gaze fell on the progress bar of the task on the panel.
[Current progress in knowing the truth: 2%]
Damn! Only 2%?!
Does that mean Estella knows nothing?
knock!knock!
There was a knock on the door.
With a creak, it was pushed away.
Yang Hui quickly turned around, afraid that someone would see this scene and attack him from behind.
However, a short figure appeared at the doorway.
He was dressed in a small-sized tuxedo, the attire was very elegant and neat, and the bow tie had a sparkling emerald on it, which made him look noble.
His voice was childish and steady, as if he hadn't seen anything.
"Sister Estella, Father wants you to go down and greet the guests after you've finished your business."
Estella lay on the bed, panting heavily, her limbs weak and unable to even clench her fists.
She was a little weak: "Right away, Leo, you go down with Brad first."
Yang Hui deduced that since the little boy called her "sister," this must be the youngest son.
Judging from his clothing, Leo is likely to be very favored.
He stood at the doorway, expressionless, his skin too pale, devoid of any color, seemingly waiting for Yang Hui to come out so they could go down together.
Yang Hui started wearing clothes he couldn't understand, layer upon layer. In the end, Estella mustered up some strength and gently straightened his collar.
"You now represent the face of the Elias family, and I hope you can maintain this aggressiveness, just like you did just now."
Estella then sat down at her vanity to touch up her makeup, in order to cover up the red marks on her face and the purple bruises on her neck.
"I'll be down in a bit, don't wait for me."
Yang Hui followed Leo out of the room.
Leo didn't say anything, he just led the way.
The two walked along the corridor of the castle, where candles were lit every few steps on the walls.
His skin was somewhat pale, and he appeared taciturn with little expression on his face. His demeanor was impeccable, and every move he made exuded the elegance and arrogance of a nobleman.
Yang Hui felt something was wrong. Shouldn't boys of this age be playful and full of curiosity?
"Your name is Leo?"
"Um."
"...What do you think of your brother Theodore Elias?"
"Theodore is amazing."
"Where is Estella?"
"greedy."
"And me?"
"waste."
Yang Hui twitched the corner of his mouth.
In the eyes of others, this identity made him a weak son-in-law, and even the youngest boy in the family looked down on him.
There's nothing we can do about it; it's the role-playing game's character design. If he directly became the person in power, things would be a piece of cake.
Yang Hui's low status brought disadvantages in gathering information, while the conditions for finally passing the level prevented him from resorting to violence without thinking.
However, the banquet was the place to obtain important information, and he couldn't do anything out of line that would anger everyone.
It's not that we can't beat them, it's that it's harder to gather information that way.
He didn't look at the entries from other people's memories. If he had such a method, Yang Hui could save a lot of trouble in this instance.
After descending a spiral staircase, the bright lights and open space suddenly appeared before me.
Standing on the second floor, the light reflected from the crystal pendant illuminated the entire banquet hall.
The skirts on the dance floor swirl and gather, while the musicians, hidden in the shadows of the colonnade, gently play elegant and soft strings.
A long table was set against the wall, laden with pastries and snacks. Guests of all kinds were dressed appropriately, some holding slender wine glasses and chatting with others, while others clapped and praised the girls on the dance floor.
Leo went down first, taking small, quick steps.
He quickly ran to the knees of a sitting person.
Although the man looked old, he was not thin and looked full of energy. He smiled and placed his cane on the edge of the table, then supported Leo under his armpits and placed him on his lap.
Yang Hui understood; that was the head of the Elias family! The owner of the castle!
Leo whispered a few words in his ear, and his smile vanished as he looked at Yang Hui on the second floor.
Yang Hui instinctively looked away, but what he saw was a scene he would never forget!
He initially glanced at the layout of the banquet, ignoring the ground beneath his feet.
Below were three iron frames, with three people hanging from them, their hands nailed to them, looking rather pitiful.
The iron rack was filled with various cutting tools.
There was a deep golden basin at the feet of each of the three people.
The blood that flowed down was enough to fill the first spot, only halfway through the second, and just beginning to flow from the last.
Seeing the hellish scene unfolding before them, Yang Hui forced himself to remain calm.
Looking at the guests clinking glasses now, they all seem to take this scene for granted, treating it as if it were nothing.
Yang Hui leaned on the railing, his fingertips sinking into the patterns.
He thought: If I hadn't reached level ten, I might have been the one hanging there as a sacrifice.
The cello string music downstairs was in its third movement when someone pointed in this direction and laughed.
