Ryan was also a little surprised by Garcia's sudden appearance, and seeing his slightly respectful attitude, the vulgar fat man next to him... should be Marconi, who poached him from the West Wind Brigade to Rubacher.

President Rubacher repeatedly warned Garcia to ensure that there was no accident in the Speaker's mansion, and then he left Garcia with his round belly.

"Um?"

After the president left, Garcia, who had brought several Rubacher's younger brothers, quickly turned her sight to Ryan and Lisha who were standing at the gate.

After the two of them restrained their breath and changed their appearance, Garcia obviously did not recognize their true identities. She just nodded slightly and said to the two, "Welcome to the Black Auction, I wish you two can take photos of their favorite products."

"I still have security work to be responsible, so I'll lose my companion first."

"Huh~"

As Garcia, who had a strong presence, left with a group of Rubacher patrol personnel, Lisha's hands, which had originally held Ryan's arm tightly, finally relaxed.

Under the guidance of the maid of the mansion, Ryan took Lixia to the west banquet hall. On the way, he joked to Lixia, "Why be so nervous? Even if you are exposed, we can escape unscathed. And have you ever beat him before?"

Lixia smiled bitterly and shook her head, "That's different. At that time, I first launched a surprise attack while Galcia was not paying attention to it, and even so, I couldn't take his life. I am worthy of being the captain of the Xifeng Brigade Company who once galloped on the battlefield."

There is more than half an hour before the auction starts, and the main venue is still undergoing the final inspection. Ryan and Lisha plan to take this opportunity to take a look at the spot in this mansion. Once there is a mistake, they can escape as quickly as possible.

The banquet hall should be the most lively place in the entire Speaker's mansion at this time. There were about a hundred people in the spacious hall communicating, including many acquaintances Ryan met in Kezhou.

For example, an old lady sitting alone in the corner with a strange smile. This person is Mrs. Imedal who runs an antique shop in the back alley. Ryan had several contacts with her when completing her tasks in the city.

I heard before that Mrs. Imedal is also a high-ranking person with status in Closebell, and it was not too unexpected to see her at the auction.

The other person was Mitsuka, which Ryan had expected before. At this time, she was sitting alone in the quiet banquet outing like Mrs. Imedal.

Her cold temperament and eyes that were far away from each other discouraged the male guests around who had originally wanted to go forward to make a relationship. With her as the center, it rarely formed a vacuum in this banquet.

Others also include some imperialists in the state assembly, neighbors living in residential areas in the city, etc.

In addition, Ryan also saw a few people who looked familiar among the guests. If you remember correctly, it should be the Eleponian nobles who had visited the Duke of Kane before, but he couldn't remember who was who.

Lixia felt a little uncomfortable with this kind of high-class banquet. She glanced at the indoor terrain and gently pulled Larryn's arm. "Let's go to other places to see. There are too many people here and it is not suitable for retreat."

Next, the two walked around the entire Speaker Haltermann's mansion. Except for places that Rubacher members explicitly prohibited, the two basically outlined the structure of the mansion after exchanging opinions.

"There are two places with the most stringent protection. The top floor on the west side is the Speaker's room, which means..."

Lisha followed Ryan's words and said solemnly, "The top floor on the east side is the storage point for the auction goods, right?"

The two of them are now in front of an artificial waterfall on the second floor of the mansion. This location is rarely visited and can be seen intuitively from above.

“Huh?”

Ryan and Lixia made surprise sounds at the same time, and they looked at a man and a woman who had just entered the door.

Although the man wore glasses and his outfit was much more formal than usual, and his female companion also wore complex and gorgeous evening dresses and put on light makeup, Ryan and Lixia could easily recognize their identities based on their breath.

Lisha tightly held Ryan's hand and asked, "Those two people... are Officer Royd and Miss Ellie?"

"Haha~" Ryan touched his chin with interest. "There is no doubt they. Although they don't know where the Support Department got the invitation card, it seems that it will become very interesting tonight."

The two casual policemen were exposed in somewhere. They were being questioned by Garcia with a cramped look on their faces. Fortunately, someone helped them get rid of the siege at the critical moment.

Ryan is a blonde woman with double-diamond hair, and Garcia was obviously surprised to see this person.

"Miss Mariabel, welcome you. You have rejected many invitations in previous years. Is the lady finally willing to attend the meeting this year?"

Mariabel was still very calm in the face of the amazing Garcia. She smiled and said, "Because there are products that I am interested in this year, I want to buy the dolls in Rozan Belk's workshop no matter how much the price."

As Maria Bell took Royd and Ellie away, the scene finally returned to peace.

Ryan shook his head helplessly, "Royd still lacks experience. He almost showed his strength at such a critical moment. Fortunately, he has the help of noble people."

Lixia looked at the direction of the three of them leaving thoughtfully and said, "Is that person the daughter of the IBC president? It does look very capable and strong, but why did she help Officer Royd and the others?"

Ryan shrugged and said, "Elie and Maria Bell are best friends who grew up together. They have had a deep connection since their parents. It's nothing strange that she will help."

"Um?"

As soon as they said this, Lisha and Ryan suddenly frowned at the same time. After entering the mansion, they were alert. At this time, they noticed that someone had entered their perception range.

Sure enough, after turning around, Ryan saw a young red-haired man in a strange costume, and he was actually carrying a fishing rod on his hand.

"Forehead……"

As Lisha was secretly alert, Ryan looked at the person carefully, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

The man seemed to have not noticed the strange attitudes of the two of them at all. He came to them with a familiar face and said with an unexpected look on his face, "Oh! I didn't expect there would be other people here. Are you here to fish?"

"fishing?"

Lixia watched the man throw the fish hook into the indoor artificial pond in a daze, and she was a little unable to keep up with the other party's rhythm.

The man whistled while shaking his feet and said carelessly, "That's right! I'm here to fish, and..."

The red-haired man turned his head, and a gleam flashed in his eyes. "I didn't expect to meet two big fish as soon as he arrived."

“!!”

Lixia heard the other party's words and the muscles of her body were tensed instantly. If Ryan hadn't grabbed her wrist at the critical moment, she might have thrown the fine needles in her hand with internal force at the first time.

"Okay, don't be excited."
