As the Patriarch of the empire's richest family, Lin Fengxue's birthday banquet was absolutely worthy of his status.
The banquet was held in the Central Ballroom of Glorious Divine Continent, It was less than a hundred meters away from the Lin Family villa in the southwest, with an area of more than 1,000 square meters, The interior was dazzling and luxurious, The scarlet carpet went from the end of the hall to the outside of the hall. It was soft and heavy. Walking on it was like stepping on a cotton ball. The deliberately adjusted light was warm but not dazzling. A faint halo illuminated the luxurious decorations around the hall, causing the atmosphere inside the hall to be extremely mysterious.
Wine and delicacies. The young and beautiful waitress carried trays like butterflies in the crowd. She smiled sweetly and her eyes were filled with fervor.
At the entrance of the hall, countless luxury cars that could show off their noble identities were completely piled up and discharged. The huge parking lot had almost no vacant space.
Maybach, Bentley, Jaguar, Lincoln, Land Rover, Rolls-Royce...
Among the luxury cars, another group of relatively low-key models were mixed in the middle of the luxury cars and occupied a better position.
Most of them are four or five years old Audi A6Ls, with a handful of A8Ls and Mercedes-Benz among them. These cars may not be as eye-catching as luxury cars, but the value of their plates is unmeasurable.
Empire. Military Ministry, Nine Continents City Committee, Municipal Government, Empire Central Supervision Department, Ministry of Officials, Ministry of Household Registry, Ministry of Security, Cabinet Office, Supreme Central Office, National Ministry, Local Provincial Affairs Office in Beijing...
Behind every license plate was a high-ranking and prominent power. In an official-based country, absolute wealth might oppress a small amount of power, but absolute power could oppress everything.
Just how tall Lin Fengxue's birthday banquet was could be seen from these cars.
7:30 p.m.
The banquet hadn't even started yet, but there were already a large number of celebrities gathered in the banquet hall. Small circles gathered in various corners of the hall. They were clearly divided, discussing current affairs, economy, and the general trend of the world. They were pointing at Jiang Shan. Almost everyone had an energetic expression on their faces.
This was the real top banquet. Almost all of the nobles in the empire were gathered here. Apart from the members of the southwest faction, the high-ranking officials of the royal faction and the southern faction also participated.
This was about strategic cooperation worth tens of billions of dollars. It was about the mobilization and operation of cadres at or above the bureau level. It was about the marriage of two wealthy families in a few years' time, and so on. Every topic here, once successfully implemented, could at least have a tremendous impact on a certain area of the empire that could last for several years.
Talk about women? Talk about small business?
These topics will never adapt to the current environment.
The soft lights in the hall slowly rotated. The light shone on every guest's face. It was obvious that all of the people attending tonight's banquet were old, even the elderly. There were many beautiful and sexy figures of young women everywhere, but the main character was still a man.
Almost all of them were older and older men. Each of them was around 45 to 55 years old. Occasionally, a few young nephews who came with their elders to experience the scene were also quickly drowned in the crowd.
Older, more formal, even more serious.
This was the main theme of tonight's banquet. There was no ambiguity, no passion, only the foundation that had settled after experiencing the vicissitudes of life.
Lin Fengxue stood in the banquet hall and raised his glass to salute the guests at a certain table. His smile was gentle and reserved, but his eyes were filled with gratification.
On the table in his line of sight were two local provincial standing committee deputy governors, a head of the Ministry of Accounts, two chairmen of large corporations worth more than 30 billion yuan, and a few women.
Together, they seemed to be discussing economic construction projects in the two provinces and testing the support of state ministries.
Lin Fengxue smiled indifferently and swept her gaze across the crowd.
Right now, he seemed to have completely forgotten the humiliation of kneeling at the Jiangnan Hotel at noon. His temperament was reserved, and he was not angry but majestic. The demeanor of the first Patriarch was full.
Not far away, Lin Xiinan's head was wrapped in gauze. He also greeted other guests with a smile. Occasionally, someone would look at the wound on his head strangely and meaningfully. He was still calm and his smile was as warm as the spring breeze.
This was probably the so-called City Hall.
Similarly, Most of the guests who had heard of the noon incident also seemed to be unaware of what had happened at noon, Ignoring him, Whether it was the Lin Clan in the southwest who fought against the War God Palace or the palace that had once been beside them, It was very rare for them to take advantage of each other. This was decided by the status of both parties. The two families were the dark side of the southwest faction and the king faction, but the southwest Lin family was always the subordinate of the southwest faction. Lin Fengxue also followed the orders of the supreme leader and several faction elders.
But the two palaces were different, They were based in the Divine Continent Empire , Within the tens of millions of square kilometers of the empire, they represented the imperial family. They stood side by side with the emperor. The palace was on equal footing with the royal family. Whether it was Elder Li Donglei of the royal family, or the current leaders of the royal family, Chen Hualou and Ye Nianlun , they could not order the royal family to do anything. They could only discuss it.
One was to carefully consider the consequences of the action.
On the other hand, the power of the Lin Clan was overflowing without any misgivings. Apart from the intense collision between the two sides, the Lin Clan in the southwest could only gain the upper hand unless their luck was heaven defying.
However, no matter how miserable Lin Fengxue was, no one dared to underestimate him and the Lin Clan in the southwest. For more than 20 years, he had clashed with the two palaces of the royal family. Although he was in a miserable state, he had never suffered any injuries. This was enough to show Lin Fengxue's methods.
And many times, As the supreme leader's brother-in-law, Lin Fengxue represented both the supreme leader and the southwest faction, which could be said to be the strongest political group in the empire. Politics has always been complex, Officials who were still gossiping on stage today might be invited to tea by the Supervision Department tomorrow. The same was true for factions. Lin Fengxue didn't pay attention to the scenery and desolation for a while, so even if he kowtowed to the War God King today, as long as the southwest faction was present, he would still be considered a dark side of the southwest faction. No one dared to underestimate him.
Moreover, as the first Patriarch, he knelt before the War God King, who was in his twenties.
Weak?
Not at all.
On the contrary, Lin Fengxue's endurance was also a terrifying thing.
"Snowstorm, it's already eight o'clock. Prepare yourself and we can begin."
A man in his fifties came to Lin Fengxue's side. Scanning the hall, he smiled and said. He wasn't tall. He was 1.7 meters tall and slightly thin. He wore a pair of glasses. His aura was refined and he was full of energy. Everyone stopped talking wherever he passed. They nodded at him respectfully, including a secretary in charge of a local province.
Sun Jingyang, member of the Policy Bureau, academician of the Central Academy, and director of the General Office of the Empire Center.
One of the current leaders of the southwest faction, the confidant general of the supreme leader, Lin Qingtian.
On Lin Fengxue's fiftieth birthday, it was not convenient for the supreme leader to attend, but he had sent Sun Jingyang, a confidant of his, over. On this occasion, his appearance was undoubtedly representative of the supreme leader.
"Yes, Feng Xue, what are you waiting for? Time is about to pass."
Lin Fengxue's wife, Lin Murong, was also a little dissatisfied. As the biological sister of the supreme leader, she was very confident. Even when facing Sun Jingyang, she only slightly nodded.
"There's still an honored guest who hasn't come."
Lin Fengxue smiled with a playful look in her eyes.
Sun Jingyang narrowed his eyes. Obviously, he remembered who the distinguished guest Lin Fengxue was talking about. He was also their target tonight.
"Lin Xuanyuan?!"
Killing intent flashed in Lin Murong's eyes. The incident at noon had already spread throughout Nine Continents City. Naturally, she had also received news that that little bastard actually dared to make her husband kneel. Lin Murong wished she could find him and cut him into pieces.
"He still has the face to come over?!"
Lin Murong's tone was cold, and her voice subconsciously became sharp.
All the guests in the vicinity immediately turned to look at her.
Lin Fengxue felt a headache. She looked at Sun Jingyang and smiled bitterly. She shook her head and said, "No need to wait any longer. Director Sun, I'll go over first."
Sun Jingyang nodded without saying anything.
Lin Fengxue took a deep breath and strode towards the podium that had already been set up in the banquet hall.
Flowers bloomed on the rostrum, and a microphone was placed in the center. Lin Fengxue stood on it as if she was making a government work report.
Serious, serious.
This was originally a scene that should not have appeared at the banquet, but when combined with the current atmosphere of the banquet, it seemed natural.
He reached out and knocked on the microphone. His voice spread out through the loudspeaker, causing the entire banquet hall to instantly become quiet.
Lin Fengxue opened her mouth, but before she could speak, a sudden voice suddenly sounded.
"Stop! You can't go in! Hurry up and take these things out!"
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
The rebuke instantly turned into a miserable scream.
Everyone present changed slightly.
Dare to cause trouble at Lin Fengxue's birthday party?
How bold was this?
The security guard who maintained order in the banquet hall was about to charge over subconsciously, but in the end, a loud and clear voice sounded, causing everyone to subconsciously stop.
"War God King, Lin Xuanyuan, arrive!"
This was Lin Shuhua's voice.
The door of the banquet hall was pushed open from the outside. Lin Xuanyuan, dressed in a white suit and a golden mask covering his face, walked in. His slender and tall figure and sharp aura instantly pierced into everyone's line of sight like a sharp knife.
Helian Chenxi, who was dressed in a black dress and was slightly powdered, followed beside Lin Xuanyuan, holding her arm. She was dignified and dignified, gentle and noble.
Lin Shuhua followed closely behind Lin Xuanyuan with a cold smile.
"Sorry, it took me some time to prepare the gift. I'm a few minutes late."
Lin Xuanyuan, who had gathered everyone's attention, steadily walked in. His voice was calm and composed, neither anxious nor slow.
Gift?
Looking at Lin Xuanyuan, who was empty-handed, everyone subconsciously looked behind them.
Immediately after, the entire arena quieted down at an astonishing speed, completely deathly silent.
Everyone's expressions were filled with shock and dullness.
Behind Lin Xuanyuan and the others, a pair of eight people rushed into the hall with gifts.
The warm lights, the distinguished celebrities, the spirited Lin Fengxue, the extremely sharp War God King...
And the eight gifts he brought.
The banquet hall instantly became extremely strange.
The sixteen of them placed the gifts in the center of the banquet hall. Then, they nodded quietly at the War God King and retreated.
All eyes were on the gift that Lin Xuanyuan had brought with him, unable to regain his senses for a moment.
The gift that Lin Xuanyuan brought was very ordinary, but it was extremely extraordinary.
The gift was about two meters long and one meter wide. It was thick and sturdy, and its entire body was jet black. In the festive banquet hall, it emitted an aura of death without restraint.
Coffin!
The eight coffins were neatly placed in the banquet hall, emitting an indescribable horrifying aura!
'"All of them are good Nanmu coffins from Liuzhou. A pair costs over a million yuan. Mr. Lin's birthday, I have thought for a long time. I don't know what gift to give. In the end, I can only give your entire family a good death. Mr. Lin, are you satisfied with my coffin?"
Send your family to their deaths.
Everyone present trembled. From Lin Xuanyuan's words, they could clearly hear the ferocious killing intent that was almost going deep into their bones!
Eight coffins!
Lin Fengxue's three daughters, two sons, and Lin Fengxue's husband and wife made a total of seven people.
Who does the eighth coffin belong to?
Everyone subconsciously looked at the pale Lin Murong and trembled.
Madam Lin, there is still a biological brother that can no longer be described as a high-ranking person.
The whole family is dying...
How dangerous was this sentence? !
It was devastating.
"Lin Xuanyuan, you lunatic!"
Lin Murong, whose mind had gone blank, finally reacted. His face was pale and his eyes were filled with anger and resentment. He stared at Lin Xuanyuan, suddenly stretched out his hand, pointed out the door, and screamed, "Get out of here!"
Lin Xuanyuan glanced coldly at Lin Murong. The cold killing intent in his eyes instantly made Lin Mu shut up.
He turned to look at Lin Fengxue and smiled faintly. He patted the black coffin beside him and said, "Mr. Lin, smile."
