Chapter 504 Banquet for nobles (4)

When he saw everyone gathered around the elves and dwarves, his eyes immediately lit up.

Seeing the attractive elves and dwarves, he wasted no time in saying, "Thank you very much for the invitation Count Zwein. I'll be sure to properly mingle with everyone now."

Without even waiting for a response from me, he ran…no, quickly walked off to where everyone was else, leaving me alone with Rose and Haley.

As I stood there with my lips twitching, I could hear the sounds of snickering from behind me.

Even if they tried their best to hold it back, it really was hard for them after seeing me like this. My lips twitched even more and there was a small vein that popped out on my forehead, but I was able to hold myself back in the end.

Taking a deep breath, I turned around and said, "It seems that I've made a mistake. It seems that I was too tense and I was overthinking things. There's no need to make any changes to the plan and you can tell them to get ready."

Though they gave a nod in response, it was clear that they still hadn't recovered from seeing me like this.

I could still see the trembling that came from them trying to hold back their laughter.

In the end, I just chose to ignore it as I said, "Make sure that everything is ready, don't miss a single thing."

Both of them nodded before turning to leave.

That was the moment that I chose to strike.

I suddenly came forward and leaned in to say, "Be ready for your punishment tonight."

Both of them suddenly stopped and turned to look at me with surprised looks.

But seeing the calm look on my face, almost as if I didn't say a thing, they couldn't help revealing different expressions.

Both of them…seemed to have traces of excitement appear in their eyes.

I didn't respond at all as I just let them leave like this, but I could see that from time to time, they kept looking back at me.

It was as if they were expecting something.

Though all I did was nothing to keep them in suspense.

Once the two of them had gone, I checked with the other person that was here.

"Shadow Five, is everything ready on your side?"

There was a voice that seemed to come out of nowhere that said, "Everything has been prepared. All that is left is for the count to start the banquet."

I gave a nod before saying, "Then be on standby and get ready for your turn."

There was no response, but I didn't need a response to know that she heard me.

With everything prepared, all that was left was to close the net around Viscount Teomold and his people.

Of course, this was my first time doing something like this, so it would be a lie to say that I wasn't nervous at all. But this was something that had to be done since I knew someone like this Viscount Teomold would never stop at just this.

If I let him go now, he would bite me in the butt one day.

So it was better to finish him off here and now.

He could only blame himself for choosing how he wanted to live his life.

These were the consequences of his own actions.

That was what I told myself as I walked over to where the nobles were gathered.

After walking over, I said, "Everyone, let's get this banquet started. I have prepared some fine delicacies today that I hope that all of you will enjoy."

With a clap of my hands, the servers suddenly came out with food on their serving trays.

At the same time, there were some servers that pushed out a table that was filled with food placed buffet style.

There was even a bar that was suddenly opened up at one side of the room.

The moment that this bar was open, the dwarves immediately ran over to get drinks followed by the nobles that went with them.

These drinks were the price that I had paid to bribe them into coming here.

So they didn't hold back indulging in these drinks.

After all, they were also using this as a chance to get away from the humans that kept bothering them.

With the food and drinks coming out, the mood of the banquet became much less formal and everyone seemed like they were enjoying themselves.

In short, they let themselves relax now that they were eating.

That was the goal in bringing out the food and drinks at this time.

Meals were one of the times that people were the most unguarded. It was when they let their natural selves come out without any filter.

If one looked carefully, they could even see what kind of personality a person had just based on how they ate.

But my main goal was to let my targets relax so I could trap them.

A while after the food was brought out, I raised a glass and tinked it with a fork before saying, "Everyone, if I may have your attention. There's something that I want to announce."

Everyone immediately turned to look at me when they heard this.

Seeing that I had their attention, I said, "I'm sure that all of you are aware that I have formed a trade relationship with our dwarven friends here." At this, I gave a nod to the dwarves and Elsa gave a nod back to me.

The nobles all revealed excited looks when they heard this.

This was one of the reasons why they had all been excited to come to this banquet.

They all wanted a piece of this pie.

After that nod, I turned to Viscount Teomold and waved my hand at him for him to come over.

Viscount Teomold was surprised, but he walked over to my side with his head held up high as if this was a natural matter.

As he walked over, he even looked at Viscount Henry with a proud look as if he was taunting him.

Viscount Henry naturally revealed an ugly expression when he saw Viscount Teomold looking at him like this, but he quickly made his face calm down and acted as if he didn't react at all.

But Viscount Teomold had already seen the change in his expression and that made his smile even wider.

Seeing him walk over like this, I really couldn't help giving a cold snort of disdain.

He was like a fool that didn't even know that he was nothing more than a pig to the slaughter.

Hmm, even his face did look a bit like a pig's…

After he came over, Viscount Teomold nodded at me with a wide smile on his face.

I gave a nod back before turning to everyone to say, "I have already signed a trade agreement with Viscount Teomold to trade the ores that I will be receiving with him."

As soon as I announced this, everyone took a cold breath and looked at me with shocked looks.
