After listening to the elder's words, Blitz didn't rush to retort this time, but fell into silence.

After a full minute of silence, he suddenly raised his head and said seriously:

"The Rothschild family's status doesn't need outside help. I will ensure Rothschild's everlasting glory."

"As for my marriage, I indeed have no intention of handling it in this manner. So, regardless, I ask all of you elders to understand my choice."

Saying this, he deeply bowed to everyone in the room, then straightened his posture, as if waiting for the final judgment.

"Since you've said that, I have nothing more to say. But if your final reliance is on the Moonlight Emperor, then you should give up!"

"Duke Herbert III has already come here. He's very interested in the Moonlight Emperor's blood. Perhaps after tonight, there will be no Moonlight Emperor in the world anymore."

The elder looked at Blitz with burning eyes and said calmly.

"Duke Herbert III? What do you intend to do to the teacher?"

Hearing the elder's words, Blitz couldn't help but feel a shock beyond measure.

The elder gently shook his head:

"This has nothing to do with us, it's that person who wants the Moonlight Emperor's blood."

Blitz, frowning, asked:

"How do you know he would be coming today? Choosing this manor, was it all premeditated?"

Of course, he's not a fool. Hearing the elder's words, he realized he was probably being used.

The elder smiled:

"If you're thinking of warning someone, then I advise you to give up that idea! From the moment you entered this room, it's been sealed with a barrier."

"And this seal was personally placed by Duke Herbert III. You don't have the ability to open it."

Blitz raised an eyebrow and gritted his teeth, saying:

"No wonder all of you are gathered here, afraid the two's battle will affect you, right?"

"As for those outside, have you abandoned them? This is the Rothschild family, willing to stop at nothing for profit!"

Facing his grandson's questioning, the elder still wore a smile, as if indifferent to it all, saying:

"They're nothing but worthless beings for future use. Dead or alive, it doesn't matter!"

"As for those who are useful, we have already instructed and will have them taken away later."

...

"Blitz, that guy, no idea where he's gone, why hasn't he returned yet?"

Yang Yan murmured.

He really wasn't interested in this kind of banquet.

If that guy had no issues, he even thought about leaving early.

After all, someone mentioned that if he behaved, there would be a special reward tonight.

If he stayed here, with so many flirtatious temptations, he was afraid he really couldn't restrain himself.

Rather than risk that, he'd better get the reward and go.

"Have you been good?"

Just then, Han Ruyu walked out of the restroom with a radiant smile.

"Of course! Aren't you aware who I am? By the way... what reward will you give me tonight?"

Yang Yan said with a mischievous grin.

"What reward? What are you talking about?"

Han Ruyu was smiling like a little fox whose plan had succeeded.

"Hey! Han Ruyu, you clearly said earlier you'd give me some reward if I behaved. How could you go back on your word now?"

Yang Yan shouted in dissatisfaction, entirely ignoring others' strange looks.

"Look at you, can't you hold some reserve?"

Seeing Yang Yan shouting so openly, Han Ruyu felt exasperated.

But seeing he seemed like he wanted to say more, she was startled, then walked up next to him and whispered something in his ear.

After hearing her words, Yang Yan raised his eyebrows, then his eyes gleamed, saying:

"Wait right here for me, I'm off to find that guy Blitz. This banquet is boring, it's more comfortable back in the hotel."

Once Yang Yan finished speaking, he walked straight out.

Judging by his hurried demeanor, he was certainly eager to find Blitz.

Just after Yang Yan left, a man in a white suit walked up to Han Ruyu.

He first asked the waiter for a cocktail, then said gently:

"How does it feel to be the woman of the Moonlight Emperor?"

Upon hearing the man's words, Han Ruyu was visibly stunned.

She only knew that Yang Yan was part of the Hidden World and his identity was certainly extraordinary, but exactly what role he played within it, she had no idea.

"What do you mean? Are you talking to me?"

Han Ruyu questioned the man, puzzled.

"Oh? You didn't know? That guy actually hasn't told you!"

The man in white seemed surprised by Han Ruyu's words.

Apparently, he hadn't expected Yang Yan hadn't told her about it.

So he simply added another line:

"I meant your man evidently hasn't told you anything about the Hidden World."

Ignoring the man's words, solely judging from his appearance, Han Ruyu had to admit the man had impeccable looks and demeanor.

But naturally, none of that mattered!

"Hidden World? What Hidden World?"

Han Ruyu was aware of not speaking casually about the Hidden World.

So she outright denied it.

"Haha! You really are the perfect partner! But rest assured, your man and I belong to the same world, you don't need to hide anything for him."

"Moreover, I know you were taken from Duke Herbert VII by him the day before yesterday."

The man said with a smile.

If Han Ruyu had initially denied everything, now truly there was no way to hide it.

This guy knew everything about her and Yang Yan, there was nothing to conceal.

"Who exactly are you?"

Han Ruyu asked the man cautiously, her tone serious.

"Me? How should I put it, it's been so long, I don't even remember what my original name was. But others call me..."

Just as the man was about to reveal his name, Yang Yan's voice suddenly emerged.

"Others call you Duke Herbert III, or say you're the world's first vampire."

Yang Yan said with a smile.

"Just as the rumors suggest! The Moonlight Emperor really is so young! I suppose, not even thirty years old, right?"

Duke Herbert III said with a wide smile.

"Oh, so the dignified Duke Herbert III is interested in my age now?"

Yang Yan said to Duke Herbert III as he pulled Han Ruyu close and slightly narrowed his eyes.
