Seeing the vodka in Koniak made me mentally scream.

If we didn't know that Koniak was here, who would believe that this was Koniak?

Koniak really knows how to put on an act in front of Ran Mouri.

“Teacher, this is the garden, this is Sera, this is Hondo, they are all my friends.”

Xiao Lan introduced her to Vermouth.

"Hello!" Vermouth greeted them with a smile.

“Miss Chris, please have a seat. I’ll have the butler make some hot tea to warm you up.”

Sonoko Suzuki greeted them with a smile.

After saying that, she asked the housekeeper, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, to make tea.

"Are these Miss Chris's bodyguards?" Sera Masumi asked with a smile, her gaze falling on the three people with different auras behind Vermouth.

Yes, that's right.

"They all look like very capable bodyguards. I wonder what to call them?"

Faced with Sera Masumi's direct question, Vermouth's eyes flickered slightly as she introduced them.

“This is vodka, this is Cohen, this is Fred.”

Sera Masumi's smile deepened as she carefully memorized their faces.

Learning that three codenamed members were just out having fun was quite an achievement.

Hondo Eisuke felt the same way.

Vodka and Cohen, these two codenames appeared in the information he was given, but he did not know their true identities or what they looked like.

Ran Mouri's gaze fell on Freward.

She met him the night she rescued Kid.

At that time, the other party was knocked unconscious by Qingze, and his life or death was unknown.

However, the light was dim at the time, so I couldn't see what she looked like.

Sensing the gaze, Fryward turned around and gave Ran Mouri a brief, indifferent look.

She casually took off her sunglasses and placed the temples on her suit pocket.

Looking at her fully revealed appearance, Ran Mouri couldn't help but take a second look.

"They're all names of alcoholic beverages, they sound so cool! And their outfits are cool too, they're really stylish!"

Unaware of anything amiss, Sonoko simply thought these code names were cool, and paired with her suit, they looked exceptionally stylish.

Vermouth smiled and nodded. "Yes, they are bodyguards I hired at great expense. It's not very safe lately, so I need bodyguards with me when I go out to feel at ease."

Ran Mouri felt that her teacher did it on purpose.

She could have easily chosen any pseudonym, but she chose to use their code names.

She looked at Qingze, wanting to see his reaction.

However, the person lying on the recliner continued to quietly read the book in their hands, showing no sign of paying attention to what was happening here.

Vermouth's gaze followed Ran Mouri's and fell on Aozawa.

She narrowed her eyes, her smile vanished, and replaced with undisguised criticism.

"Xiaolan, don't tell me that's your boyfriend. Someone so rude is obviously a character flaw."

Upon hearing this, Qingze closed the book in his hand and cast a cold glance at him.

He stood up calmly, his gaze sweeping over the group with an arrogant scrutiny before finally settling on Vermouth.

A faint, mocking smile played on his lips. "People who criticize others for their character are often the ones whose own character is questionable."

Vermouth gave him a cold look, put her arm around Ran Mouri's shoulder, and earnestly advised her:

"Take my advice, Xiaolan. Be careful when you're in a relationship. Your boyfriend might not be a good fit."

Qingze sneered and walked a few steps to Ran Mouri's side, looking down at her.

“Lan, listen to my advice: you need to be discerning when choosing a teacher. Your teacher needs to be reconsidered.”

Ran Mouri, sandwiched between the two: "..."

What kind of chaotic scene is this?!

Vermouth stared at Qingze, her disdain written all over her face.

"Will you die if you don't learn to speak like me?"

Qingze looked at her indifferently, "Would you die if you didn't learn to speak like me?"

Two gazes clashed fiercely in the air, their silent confrontation like ice blades colliding, exuding a chilling aura.

Vodka maintained a cool exterior, but inwardly he was already cheering.

Let's fight! Let's fight!

Cohen quietly retreated behind the group.

It's confirmed, this is Koniak.

Dressed up like this, I almost didn't recognize her.

He's really something.

Sonoko Suzuki was dumbfounded.

what's the situation?

Why do Qingze and this Miss Chris not get along at all?!

Sera Masumi and Hondo Eisuke were also somewhat confused.

Does Qingze know Vermouth? And do they have a conflict?

As the stares from those around her grew increasingly strange, Ran Mouri felt immense pressure.

She reached out and pushed the two of them apart.

"Aze, don't always be so confrontational with the teacher..."

Qingze snorted, "She doesn't give me a friendly look, so why should I give her a friendly look?"

Ran Mouri, feeling helpless, turned to her teacher with a pleading look in her eyes.

Vermouth crossed her arms, raised her chin slightly, and retorted sarcastically:

"Look at his attitude! He expects me to be nice to him?"

Separated by Ran Mouri, Aoyama continued his attacks without hesitation:

"You're putting on airs just because I call you 'teacher'? Mr. Mori and Ms. Kisaki have no complaints about me. Who gives you the right to point fingers and criticize me?"

He paused, his tone laced with sarcasm:

"Attitude? What kind of attitude do you want? I've already been very polite by not directly asking you to leave. Do you expect me to greet you? Do you want me to serve you tea again? Bow and kowtow three times?"

Sera Masumi quietly turned her head and whispered to Sonoko, "Wow... Does this Mr. Aozawa have such a fiery temper?"

Vermouth is an international superstar.

They directly attacked an internationally renowned movie star without giving him any face.

That's quite a character...

"Uh... I'm not really sure either..." Sonoko shook her head blankly; she hadn't had much contact with Aozawa.

"But judging from this situation, it seems like the grudge has been brewing for a long time? After all, Miss Chris is Ms. Lan's teacher, so they must have met quite a few times..."

Seeing that Qingze was about to continue firing, alarm bells rang in Ran Mouri's mind!

Sera and Hondou were both present. If the teacher got angry and exposed his identity, things would get very complicated.

She didn't want the people around her to know Qingze's identity.

She stuffed a cookie into Qingze's mouth to shut him up, then turned and took the hot tea prepared by the butler, handing it to Vermouth with a clearly ingratiating tone:

"Teacher! Have some tea to warm yourself up and ward off the cold. Have you eaten? Would you like me to prepare something..."

Chapter 411 Truth or Dare

Looking at Xiaolan, who was trying to smooth things over and looked worried, Vermouth's icy expression melted away, and her eyes became incredibly gentle, a stark contrast to her previous coldness.

She took the teacup and said gently, "I've already eaten."

Looking at Vermouth's two completely different faces, Fryward raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his head and asked Cohen beside him in a low voice.

"Who is this girl? Why is Vermouth treating her so specially?"

“Students,” Cohen said succinctly.

Vermouth said that this is her student.

"that's it?"

Cohen nodded.

He knew nothing more.

He glanced subtly at Koniak, who was sitting on the other side.

The other person ate the biscuit in their mouth, then picked up the black tea on the table, blew on it gently, took a sip, and remained calm.

He temporarily toned down his confrontational stance with Vermouth and made no attempt to speak to them, completely ignoring their existence.

On the other side, Vermouth also completely ignored Qingze, switching her emotions at will.

She took a graceful sip of tea, her gaze naturally falling on the playing cards scattered on the carpet.

"Were you playing a game just now? I'm free anyway, how about you play with me?"

"Great! Great!" Sonoko exclaimed excitedly.

Big stars are hanging out with them! That's so exciting!

"Playing poker isn't suitable for a large group. How about we play this instead?"

Looking at everyone in the room, Hondo Eisuke took out a deck of game cards.

A very classic party game card game: Truth or Dare.

Sonoko was even more excited when she saw this.

It's fair to say that she insisted on bringing this game card.

She was waiting for this game so she could take the opportunity to uncover Qingze and Xiaolan's love story!

If I could draw a dare that lets them kiss...

Just thinking about it is exciting!

"can."

Looking at the game cards, Vermouth smiled and agreed.

Truth or Dare.

These are truly interesting words and phrases.

Who says that what's said is always the truth?

"Would you like to join us?" Sera Masumi asked with a smile, looking at Vodka and the other two.

Vodka pushed up his sunglasses.

Since Vermouth has joined, I absolutely have to come!

Cohen wasn't interested, but Fryward glanced at him and sat down.

It's only 7 p.m., there's still plenty of time, and I'm just killing time anyway.

Several people formed a circle on the carpet, and Suzuki Sonoko nudged Ran with her elbow, urging Ran to go and call Aozawa.

It would be so much more fun if Qingze came to play too.
