Chapter 281: The Price of the Gift Had Already Been Determined

Translator: 549690339

The banquet hall was silent.

Only the resounding sound of Liz’s slap echoed faintly.

The sudden appearance of the black scythe of the Grim Reaper, the suffocating aura of death, quickly receded like the tide with Liz’s slap and disappeared.

However, no one would really think that it was just an illusion.

The cold sweat on the back of every noble present was the best proof.

This was especially obvious for Sima and the other two who were beside Vivian.

A chill ran down his neck.

Swallowing their saliva with difficulty, they confirmed that their heads had not been separated. Their backs were all drenched.

Just now…What was that?

All the distinguished guests in the banquet hall had this doubt.

Unfortunately, they did not have the time to think about this problem.

Because, at this moment, it was obvious that a bigger matter was happening in front of them.

“L-Liz?” Sima said in disbelief.

She looked at the girl who was standing opposite her with a gaze that said,” You shouldn’t be here.” She was extremely familiar with the girl who was burning with anger.

“Why, seeing me…Are you surprised? Sima!” Liz sneered.

This young lady wanted to question Sima in public about the kidnapping.

However, when Liz’s gaze passed through Sima’s body, she saw…

After a certain red-faced, tipsy little girl whose eyes were filled with confusion revealed an expression that she did not understand what was going on. It was obvious that she was not in a good state.

“Vivian?” Liz immediately frowned.

“Get lost! ”

The Earl’s daughter shouted, and the two nobles, who had been called by Sima to do bad things to Vivian, immediately peed their pants and did not dare to block Liz’s path.

They were trembling all over. The fear that had just been relieved was born again. The two of them kept winking at Sima, indicating what to do now.

Now, Sima himself was still in trouble, and the plan was disrupted by Liz’s appearance.

She could only look at the two of them and tell them not to talk nonsense. Then, her expression changed, and no one knew what she was thinking.

On the other side.

“Li… Liz?” Vivian tilted her head and rubbed her hazy eyes with her small hands. She asked the young girl who came to her with a concerned expression.

When she focused her eyes and saw the girl clearly, Vivian was pleasantly surprised.

“Great, good! It’s really you…Liz, you, you escaped…’

Before the little girl could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Liz.

Vivian, have you been drinking?” As soon as the little girl opened her mouth, Liz smelled the alcohol.

This caused the girl to frown even more.

Under Liz’s questioning, Vivian was like a child who had done something wrong. She replied in a guilty tone,”

“Just…l just drank a little…”

“A little? Is this a little?”

Liz was like a strict elder sister lecturing her immature younger sister. She snatched the wine glass from Vivian, who was still holding the wine glass that Sima and the others had given her.

Then, she turned around abruptly, and her cold gaze landed on Sima again.

Although she had only just arrived, as the daughter of an earl and the top of the aristocracy, unlike some inexperienced little girl, Liz could see the situation at a glance.

“It’s you!”

“Looks like I’ve really underestimated you, Sima. I didn’t expect that your motive for kidnapping me…lt’s here!”

The ” here ” that Liz mentioned could be referring to Vivian, or it could also be referring to the donation dinner.

“Don’t, Belise, Sima is… Friend, I’m the one who wants to drink. It has nothing to do with her…

The dizzy Vivian wanted to defend Sima.

However, Liz ignored the drunk little girl. Instead, she first looked at the little girl who was brought to a remote corner of the banquet. Then, her sharp gaze turned to the two nobles beside Sima.

These two didn’t have Sima’s composure. When Liz glanced at them, they immediately felt guilty and uneasy.

Humph.

He snorted coldly as if he had confirmed something.

“Friends? Vivian, watch carefully. I’ll let you know that not everyone will be like you, forever and sincerely being friends with others. ”

Liz said as she picked up the wine glass she had snatched from the little girl.

He lowered his head and glanced at the seemingly clear and normal wine inside.

The girl quickly took out a silver needle from the small bag that she always carried with her.

“This needle is engraved with an identification spell. As long as there is an abnormal substance in the food, the color of the needle will darken.

It seemed that just explaining wasn’t enough and needed more credibility.

Liz added.

“This is a birthday present from my father, the patriarch of the Sisre family, the Earl, when I was ten years old. At that time, my father told me to be careful with my friends and be careful of bad people.

Liz noticed that Sima’s mouth twitched a few times after hearing her words. However, at this moment, the young miss only thought that Sima was feeling guilty.

Liz put the silver needle into Vivian’s glass.

As expected, even though it was a high-level medicine produced by the Treasure Hunting Group, it was still exposed when faced with a self-defense item given by an earl to his ” beloved ” daughter.

The silver-white needle’s color quickly darkened as it headed toward the black ink.

“How could this be…
