Hmm! She looks quite good, a rare beauty.

Moreover, from her earlier actions, her character seems nice too.

Yang Yan secretly made an evaluation of Avril in his heart.

He does look quite handsome.

I heard from my cousin that he is extremely powerful.

What's rare is that he's not the kind of unruly young master who becomes lawless just because he has some power.

Avril was also sizing up Yang Yan at this time and made a fair judgment.

"Hey! Can you two stop acting like I'm not here? Or is there something going on between you two?"

Blitz looked at the two's expressions, asking with a puzzled face.

Right now, he's really got quite the headache!

"What nonsense are you talking about? At worst, just marry Kasha, and it's all done."

"Not that I'm saying anything, but refusing a beauty like her means you're asking for retribution."

Yang Yan teased.

"Oh, my mentor, please spare me your sarcasm. I really don't have feelings for that Kasha."

"And you see, even though I said that in public just now, she stood there as if she didn't hear, just plain dumbfounded."

"Tell me, can you take a person like that as a wife? I mean, it's not like I can't find a woman. I'm a young, wealthy, charming man, why worry about a wife!"

Blitz said in distress.

However, if Blitz hadn't mentioned it, Yang Yan and Han Ruyu wouldn't have noticed; Kasha is indeed too abnormal.

If it were a normal person facing such a situation, they would at least leave out of embarrassment if not create a scene.

But that woman acted as if nothing had happened, which is really too strange.

"If I'm not mistaken, that woman has been subjected to puppetry. Otherwise, she wouldn't be like this."

"And judging by her complexion, she should have been in a relatively dim place for a long time."

Yang Yan stared intently at Kasha and said slowly.

"No way? She's the daughter of Duke Herbert's family, who dares to treat her like this?"

Blitz looked at Kasha in disbelief.

"Duke Herbert's family? Haha—"

Yang Yan chuckled coldly.

He had never even heard of this family before.

If it were the Blood Race represented by Duke Herbert, that he knows.

"Mentor, what do you mean? Are you saying there's something fake about the Duke Herbert family?"

Blitz became even more puzzled hearing Yang Yan's cold laugh.

"Duke Herbert has always just been a title, not a family name. Whatever those guys are up to, I don't know."

"And behind all this, there's a shadow of your family, the Hidden World Rothschild."

Yang Yan didn't hesitate much and directly told Blitz his suspicions.

Blitz wasn't a fool, and upon hearing this, he quickly realized it.

"Yeah, those old fogies were just asking me to marry Avril a few days ago to keep the family's bloodline pure, and now they want me to ally with Duke Herbert's family?"

Blitz pondered aloud.

"This matter is quite complicated; it's not just a personal issue anymore. I don't know where this Duke Herbert family came from, but judging by the current situation, whether you want to or not, you'll have to go through with this marriage."

Yang Yan said with a smile.

"If they dare to force me, I'll just leave. I'm not a child anymore, why would I let those old guys manipulate me? The world is vast; as long as I want, they won't be able to find me."

Blitz was indignant now.

"Don't be hasty! It's not irreversible yet. Find out what shady dealings your family has with the other side before deciding anything."

"As for the Duke Herbert family, I'm quite interested myself."

Yang Yan smiled and then looked at Kasha, who remained silent on the stage.

"Do you think I should directly dispel the puppetry on Kasha? If I do, there might be quite a spectacle to watch?"

Yang Yan mused while rubbing his bare chin.

"Uhh..."

The few of them were stunned upon hearing this.

This guy really is afraid of the world at peace!

They didn't even know what exactly Kasha's background was; it's best not to meddle.

If they just lifted her restraints and she turned out to be another lawless person, both families would lose face today.

"Mentor, please don't joke around. We don't even know the situation with Kasha right now."

"If you remove her puppetry and she starts a commotion here, it'll become a big issue."

Blitz realized Yang Yan had already taken a liking to this idea, so he hurriedly tried to persuade him.

"Haha! No need to be tense, really! I'm just talking here, just talking."

With that, Yang Yan went aside, picked up a cocktail, and watched Kasha while drinking.

"Just talking? I'd be surprised if I believed you. Although others might not know, I know you'd definitely do it."

Blitz muttered beside him.

"If you keep talking nonsense, do you believe I won't just lift her puppetry right now?"

Yang Yan squinted his eyes and threatened viciously.

Hearing this, Blitz immediately backed down.

He didn't dare provoke Yang Yan further.

Otherwise, he'd never know what hit him.

"Ah! What a mess this is!"

With that, Blitz walked to the side.

Avril gave Yang Yan a meaningful glance and then went off to greet other guests as if nothing happened.

Social gatherings like this are quite boring and monotonous.

It's just people of status and position praising each other and seeing if there's anything they can gain from each other.

As for the pretense of bonding, only fools would believe it.

While Yang Yan and Han Ruyu leisurely ate some snacks, a man approached.

His head of brown-golden hair and handsome looks were quite pleasing to the eye.

"This lovely lady, may I have the honor of inviting you for a dance?"

The man asked Han Ruyu politely.

As for Yang Yan, he was selectively ignored.

Even Yang Yan had to admit at this moment, this guy's smile was quite charming.

But unfortunately, he invited the wrong person.

Maybe most people would just tolerate this!

Who is Yang Yan? A man who would face outside when using a lavatory seat, who could pee a full ten yards into the wind.

Daring to touch the tiger's behind?

Clearly a risky move!

"Don't you know that inviting a lady to dance in front of her companion is extremely impolite?"

Yang Yan looked coldly at the man and said chillingly.
