Chapter 261 - 261 Canaries

261 Canaries

Qiao Yue narrowed her eyes.

Her opponent?

This word reminded her of Oswald, the boy who had been challenging her and unwilling to admit defeat.

Could he be No. 53?

Qiao Yue wanted to find out No. 53’s identity, but in the end, she did not send the text message.

After all, it was normal that the Godfather would train people other than herself.

Her two-year deal with the Godfather hadn’t been fulfilled yet, so there was no need to rock the boat.

At the thought of this, Qiao Yue turned off her phone and lay back down in bed .

She had just gotten up, but she already felt tired. Lu Ying had indeed given her some very strong medicine.

She lay in bed, but her mind was racing.

Her mother’s face kept appearing in her mind, as well as the things she experienced when she grew up under the Godfather’s care. She took a deep breath, calmed her mind, and let herself fall back into a deep sleep.

Meanwhile, on the other side of town, a banquet was in full swing. It was a banquet held at D-Country’s embassy in C-Country.

D-Country’s ambassador, Andy, was going to leave C-Country to go back home. C-Country’s who’s who all gathered at the embassy at Andy’s invitation.

Andy was a handsome and wealthy ambassador. He had the support of the biggest tycoon in D-Country at a young age. He was also an important member of parliament in D-Country. He might even run for president in future.

The who’s who from any country would want to be on good terms with such a person.

The two children he brought with him to the banquet were also very eye-catching.

The boy’s hair was dyed brown, and he had an androgynous, mixed-race face, with the sharp features of the west and liveliness of the east.

Rumor had it that he was Andy’s nephew and one of the more outstanding Eugene’s of his generation. He was now a student at St. Faustina’s Institution and he performed very well at a recent duel with Harvey Academy.

Although he was still a university student, he had a maturity beyond his years.

The girl with Andy had red hair and similarly, a mixed-race look. However, she looked more aloof compared to the genteel Oswald. Rumor had it that she was an adopted daughter of the Eugene family.

Two of them with Andy wielded more than half of the Eugene family influence.

Andy stood in the middle of the banquet hall, toasting with the people who came and went. His smile was gracious, and it was hard to imagine that his brother had just been murdered just outside the detention center.

“As expected of the Eugene’s, they are still able to welcome guests so calmly despite Trand’s scandal.”

“Yeah. I heard that Andy laughed it off when he heard about his brother’s death. He’s indeed the most promising member of parliament in D-Country.”

Andy’s expression did not change much when he heard these discussions among his guests. Only Oswald noticed that his hands trembled whenever he made a toast.

“Uncle, are you alright?” Oswald asked in a low voice.

“I’m fine.” Andy ignored Oswald’s concern and continued to chat with his guests who came forward to have a drink with him.

Oswald looked at Andy with narrowed eyes. He whispered, “Hypocrite.”

“Isn’t hypocrisy inherent in the Eugene family?” The girl beside him said with a smile.

Oswald rolled his eyes when he saw Minnie’s expression. “Come on, Minnie. You’re a hypocrite too. Why did you snatch the mission that Godfather gave me?”

Minnie looked at him and smiled. “Because I didn’t overestimate myself and challenge the person whom Godfather admires.”

“Godfather admires?” Oswald chuckled. “When I first met the Godfather, I thought he was a great man with no desires. But he’s now taken away my right to missions because of a girl. It’s ridiculous. I’m obviously so much more talented than her.”

Minnie smiled noncommittally. “You don’t understand Godfather, and you don’t understand the organization.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“It’s just an organization that uses humanity to control the world. It’s not that hard to understand.” Oswald replied.

He had been trained as a member of the organization since young and he thought that he had seen through everything about the organization.

“The world is nothing but a prey in Godfather’s eyes.” Minnie took a sip of her champagne. “You know, the Godfather doesn’t like to keep canaries. He would much rather keep an eagle like it’s a canary.”

Minnie tilted her head and looked at Oswald. “Do you understand what I mean, Oswald?”
