Chapter 106 Ball (Ch 106)

[Greed] quickly leaned forward:

“Whatever the task is, I will carry it out strictly.”

[Arrogant] did not respond immediately, but just gently took out something.

It was a small dark gold box, only the size of a palm.

There is no keyhole on it, but there is a spooky black skull printed on it.

[Pride] raised his head slightly, signaling [Greed] to take it.

[Greed] hurried forward, bent down and bowed, then took the small box with both hands.

Arrogance explained:

“This is the box the chief gave me. He asked us to give it to him before Zhou Ke’s dance is over.”

“This task is left to you.”

[Greedy] looked at the small box in his hand:

“This box, will the leader allow us to open it?”

[Arrogance] seemed to chuckle:

“You can try. I allow you.”

Hearing this, [Greed] bowed again, then held the small box with one hand, preparing to try to open it with force.

But this unlocked small box seemed to be welded shut, and the lid didn’t move at all.

This surprised [Greed] for two seconds:

“What’s in the box?”

[Arrogant] shook his head slowly:

“I don’t know. The leader didn’t tell me the details.”

“But he told me that only Zhou Ke can open this box.”

“I guess that since Zhou Ke was not affected by the blood curse and died, the leader decided to kill him himself.”

“Inside this box is the leader’s [killer move].”

As soon as the words fell, several members of the Skull and Bones Society raised their heads to varying degrees:

The leader actually took action himself???

[Arrogant] ignored the reactions of the others and waved his hand again:

“Okay, the mission has been issued, [Greed], you can leave early.”

“Give the Skull and Bones Society’s gift to Mr. Zhou.”

“Remember, be quick.”

Greed bowed once more, then disappeared into the shadows with the small box in hand.

……

Ballroom.

The hall is decorated in Western style, and the crystal chandelier on the central ceiling shines brightly.

The Red Heart Group’s event venue is filled with a red tone, red murals, red carpets, and a red heart♥ logo…

There is also senior Zhuang Xingyao in a red dress.

Zhuang Xingyao was wearing a red long dress and was standing somewhere at the front of the hall, chatting with several members of the Red Heart Group.

Click.

The door to the ballroom was gently pushed open.

Zhuang Xingyao turned his gaze towards the entrance of the hall.

There, Zhou Ke and Su Chenxi entered the ballroom side by side.

Zhou Ke walked forward slowly and steadily, and Su Chenxi followed very closely beside him.

Countless people stopped what they were doing and looked over.

In fact, there were quite a few people coming in and out of the dance party, but no one could attract everyone’s attention like Zhou Ke and Su Chenxi.

This is not surprising.

Zhou Ke and Su Chenxi both had top-notch looks, like those of celebrity artists. They dressed up carefully for the ball and wore the most exquisite and gorgeous gowns. Their appearance alone attracted the attention of students in the entire hall.

What’s more, they have a more dazzling identity.

Needless to say, Su Chenxi is the most precious princess in the Dragon Kingdom. She belongs to the Su family, one of the four major families, and is also the only heir to the throne of the Dragon Kingdom.

Zhou Ke was born into a commoner family, but he was the only commoner in the school who was admitted as an exception.

Moreover, he possesses the rarest plum blossom card in the entire Dragon Kingdom, and it is also a letter card with the number K on the face.

Not to mention the titles and achievements after admission——

The best freshman, the only winner of the three freshman tests, the one who escaped the Skull and Bones Society, the known owner of a divine relic, a famous figure at the freshman party, the top of the campus popularity list…

Any one of these titles given to someone can make that person the most dazzling figure in the entire school.

And all these achievements belong to Zhou Ke alone.

Many students who attended the dance were not members of the Red Heart Group, but were senior students who were invited.

A whisper came from the crowd:

“I heard that the Red Heart Group invited two freshmen to join this year. I didn’t believe it at first…”

“I didn’t expect it to be these two!”

“Wow, is the Red Heart Group so awesome? Chairman Zhuang Xingyao is truly extremely powerful!”

“She actually invited Zhou Ke and Su Chenxi, two heavyweight freshmen, to come!”

Zhou Ke ignored the commotion and just walked in quietly, with Su Chenxi following closely beside him.

To be honest, Zhou Ke didn’t want to be in the spotlight. After all, he always kept in mind his goal of attending the dance –

Get ready for the upcoming Elite Cup, get to know your teammates, or gather intelligence.

Unfortunately, wherever he went, it seemed that was the center of the entire party. It looked like the intelligence gathering work would not be particularly smooth.

Su Chenxi seemed accustomed to this level of attention. She still had her signature dignified smile on her face and nodded politely to the crowd.

Zhou Ke looked forward, looking for the host of the dance.

Senior Zhuang Xingyao was sitting right in the front, at the center of the dance stage.

Her eyes seemed to be wandering between the two of them.

There was a tall boy standing next to her. He stood straight. He noticed that Zhuang Xingyao, like most people, also cast his eyes on the two of them and frowned with some dissatisfaction.

He leaned over and said something into Zhuang Xingyao’s ear.

Zhuang Xingyao’s expression did not change, he still had that cold face, but he nodded slightly without being noticed.

“Hey! What are you looking at!”

Zhou Ke’s observation was interrupted by a slightly childish voice. He didn’t react to the source of the voice until he lowered his head.

“Here!” A short little boy who looked very young squinted his eyes and smiled at Zhou Ke.

“Little boy?” Zhou Ke whispered to himself, but the voice seemed to reach the ears of the little boy.

“Ahhh! What little kid! I’m your senior! I’m just a little shorter! I’m so mad at you!” The little boy seemed a little annoyed for a moment.

He took two deep breaths and calmed down:

“Hello! You must be the two freshmen the chairman mentioned!” The little boy, no, the senior, stretched out his hand:

“My name is Yu Xingxing, I’m a second-year student and a member of the Red Heart Group!”

As for the stars? The word “star” is quite appropriate to describe a tiny thing.

This thought, which was somewhat disrespectful to the senior, popped up in Zhou Ke’s mind.

The two of them shook hands with the senior who looked like a kindergarten student.

“Hey, what were you looking at just now?” Yu Xingxing followed Zhou Ke’s gaze:

“Oh! Isn’t that Chairman Zhuang and Vice Chairman Sun?”

Yu Xingxing seemed to reveal some of the confidence of a senior student for a moment:

“My two juniors, you are not familiar with the members of the Red Heart Group, right?”

“Then now, let me, the older senior, introduce you!” He deliberately emphasized the word “older”, as if to emphasize that he was not a child.

Zhou Ke immediately became interested. After all, getting familiar with the membership structure of the Red Heart Group was exactly the purpose of his coming to the dance.

“Senior, please speak!”
