Chapter 192: Viscount’s Assassination - Setting the Stage!
"Who are you... my lord?" Viscount Lucas asked, at last, shocking the woman beside him and the three guards.
Kai smiled. "You wouldn't want to know," he said airily. "I just like to attend flashy functions and make friends."
"Elenora," Viscount said, gesturing at the woman. "My lady wife."
Kai bowed courteously at her, smiling. The woman nodded in return.
"Sonia," Kai said, introducing Meg. "She's whatever I want her to be."
Kai's words bordered on blasphemy, considering Meg's beauty. But there was no sign of taking offense on her face, and following his words, she just smiled as if all that was being said about her was true.
Viscount Lucas gulped audibly.
"Lord Arbuthnot." A man in a black-colored formal suit came running toward them. "The auction is about to start. Please come. We have already arranged the topmost chamber for you."
"Oh!" Kai exclaimed, approaching the three, holding Meg's hand. "Why not share this chamber then, Viscount Lucas? The more the merrier."
"Eh..." the third man licked his lips, fumbling for words. "You need a token for that, good sir. I..."
His words got caught in his throat. Meg took out a platinum-colored card and threw it at him as if it was a spare change. Once again the Viscount stared at Kai and her awkwardly, and even the woman looked taken aback.
