After all, it was a private banquet, so the nature of the banquet was very relaxed. It did not have the style commonly seen in movies. However, Li Xing was the only one who wore casual clothes. He couldn't be blamed for being a country bumpkin. After all, Li Xing was here on vacation. Why would he prepare such troublesome formal clothes?
Elegant piano music played on the stage in front of the restaurant. Celebrities from all walks of life who came here for vacation held their glasses to find the circle of interest they were interested in and joined in to chat with like-minded people. However, Li Xing was a complete oddity here. He carried a plate and walked around the edge of the venue, wandering around the long tables that were filled with feasts. It was as if no matter if it was a ball or socializing, it could not arouse his interest.
Hmm, this steak is f * cking delicious…
Li Xing chewed elegantly and nodded in satisfaction. After eating, he also used a tissue to wipe the grease from the corner of his mouth. Cough cough, a foodie was a foodie. If he didn't pay attention to his image while eating, he would really be a country bumpkin. Perhaps the security guards would even invite him out.
Li Xing held the red wine in his hand and looked up at the seat of the main character of the banquet.
Tsk tsk, it had to be said that the nouveau riche in Saudi Arabia were indeed rich. Just based on that Wang Fei, that posture was definitely at the level of a disaster. She had a curvy figure and a slim waist. She had an exquisite nose bridge, attractive eye sockets, and slender eyebrows. This princess consort had the face of an eastern beauty and the figure of a western beauty. Her every move carried a dignified and feminine temperament.
Li Xing couldn't tell the price of the shiny gem hanging on the neck of the beautiful princess. However, judging from the size, it must be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Prince, who was standing beside her, was also quite handsome. However, Li Xing was not interested in men, so she did not observe him too much. Surrounding the two protagonists were either arms tycoons or oil tycoons, as well as several Asian faces. Jiang Chen couldn't tell their specific nationality.
The rest of the celebrities gathered in groups of three to five, surrounding the center of the venue and spreading out. Li Xing saw many familiar faces among them, such as the so-called music queen and the bald man who played Su Ji... Li Xing was surprised to see so many famous people here. However, he didn't chase after celebrities, so he didn't plan to ask for autographs.
"Mr. Oyes, why did you choose to celebrate this wonderful moment for your beloved concubine in this mysterious East?”
"Haha, I really like this place. The last time was in Hawaii, but the scenery here was also very good, and there were not as many annoying reporters.”
When he was in Hawaii, Oyes had no choice but to spend more than double the money to hire the underworld to do these things, and then spend a similar amount of money to bribe the police to ignore this matter…
The one-stop service on this land made him, a rich man in the Middle East who had too much money to spend, very satisfied.
It was also because Prince Auyes always handled his privacy issues so thoroughly that his sensitive friends dared to come to his banquet from afar. Although the hospitable Oyes had sent invitations to all the " qualified " people in the hotel, not everyone was a guest here, such as the oil tycoon who was chatting and laughing with him.
It was quite interesting. In order to join this circle full of " resources," many people even booked a few luxurious rooms for a few nights. Li Xing was lucky to be able to book the most expensive beach villa at this time. Before he came, he had never heard of any Middle Eastern tycoon holding a banquet here.
"Mr. Ross, are you interested in five tankers full of crude oil?”
"Of course I'm interested. My little fellows burn those things every day. Haha, Mr. Osman, why don't we go to the side and talk?”
"It's my honor."
Almost every minute, there was a big or small transaction completed. Li Xing couldn't help but sigh. He had witnessed everything and was actually standing at the side eating salmon. There were also many wealthy Chinese businessmen nearby discussing business, the market, and even some private matters. Li Xing heard a lot of explosive gossip.
This made Li Xingxing feel extremely shocked, but it was within his expectations. Unspoken rules were nothing new in the entertainment industry, especially for those female celebrities who became famous overnight and did not have any backing.
"A5 Kobe beef tenderloin, good stuff.”
"Yes, it is indeed quite good…" Li Xing raised his eyebrows and looked at the white man sitting opposite him in surprise.
"It's just a small piece and it costs 300 USD. Sir, the way you eat it really makes the audience feel a little pained.”The white man with short hair and stubble chuckled, revealing his white teeth. There was no pain on his face. His standard Mandarin made Li Xing feel as if he was speaking to a fellow countryman in white.
"How do you know I'm Chinese?”Jiang Chen smiled and asked curiously. Putting Chinese, Korean, and Japanese together, if he didn't speak, even Jiang Chen himself might not be able to tell the difference, let alone a European.
"How do you know I'm Chinese?”Li Xing smiled and asked curiously. If he put Chinese, Han, and Japanese together, even Li Xing himself might not be able to tell them apart, let alone a European or American.
"I've always been a good judge of character. My name is Blake." Blake smiled and extended his hand to Jiang Chen.
Li Xing held Blake's hand and smiled in a friendly manner.
"Li Xing."
Suddenly, Li Xing felt that the white man opposite him was slowly increasing his strength. Li Xing narrowed his eyes and slowly increased his strength. Kaka. After a while, the white man's face became rosy and his forehead was slightly sweaty. His fingers made a cracking sound. Li Xing smiled and let go.
He was a little curious as to why this muscular white man was looking for him.
Li Xing's intuition told him that this Blake was not simple. Of course, the " not simple " here did not mean that he was very rich. Everyone here was rich. It was not simple in another sense. There was a faint smell of blood on this person. Only people who had experienced life and death situations would have such an aura. This made Li Xing a little wary. He did not understand why this guy was looking for him.
"Don't be nervous. I'm just very friendly to my colleagues.”Blake noticed Li Xing's vigilant gaze and could not help but smile as he waved his hand. He hid his hand behind his back and rubbed it.
Damn, did he treat me as a peer? Li Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Oh? Is it that obvious?" Li Xing didn't expose him. He just raised his eyebrows and asked with a curious expression.
"Did Mr. Li Xing not notice that the security guards at the door are looking at you?”Blake took a sip of red wine and said to the security guard at the door.
Staring at me? Why are you staring at me? Li Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he glanced at the security guard wearing sunglasses at the door. His burly muscles were very intimidating. Jiang Chen didn't have the ability to see through the sunglasses. He didn't know how Blake knew where the security guards were staring, so he just took a sip of the wine.
"Me? Mr. Blake, you must be joking. I'm just an ordinary person who came to a resort to relax.”Li Xing said calmly.
After hearing Li Xing's words, Blake heaved a sigh of relief. As a mercenary, it was not enough for him to enter such an occasion. However, since the security mission of the Prince of Saud was handled by his team, he was granted the right to enter.
As soon as he entered the hall, he noticed the very eye-catching Li Xing. At the same time, the faint killing intent on his body made him feel very afraid. This was definitely a dangerous fellow. Although he did not have any burly muscles, Blake's intuition gave rise to an extremely absurd thought. If it was a close combat, there was an 80% chance that he would lose.
However, when he realized that Li Xing was only wandering around the delicacies, he could not help but doubt his judgment.
Perhaps, he was just here on vacation…Same profession?
In order to find out more about this strange person, Blake walked forward to talk to him after exchanging opinions with his team.
"That's for the best. I wish you a pleasant dinner.”Blake smiled and raised his glass to Li Xing.
After confirming Li Xing's condition, Blake did not leave immediately. Instead, he chatted with Li Xing. Li Xing had nothing to do. Moreover, he was curious about the lives of these legal mercenaries abroad, so he was happy to chat with Blake.
“... " That time was in Ukraine. We escorted a high-ranking government official to the front line and were ambushed on the way." Blake, who had been drinking for half a round, became more and more excited as he spoke." I suspect it was the Russians. Their firepower was very fierce. In the end, we had to guard a building until the government tanks drove over to relieve the danger…"
As it was not a secret, Blake did not hide too much. From Blake's conversation, Li Xing roughly understood that they were the security personnel of Blackwater International. They were mainly responsible for foreign business, which was also the so-called mercenaries. Blake was also a veteran who had been through hundreds of battles. Before he retired, he was active in the battlefield of Laker. He only joined Blackwater after the war ended.
"Since it's just a casual chat, Mr. Li Xing, why don't you talk about yourself? With my salary, I can't afford to live in a luxury beach villa that costs thousands of dollars a day.”Blake asked curiously.
"The money you earn is for enjoyment. Why don't you keep it to buy a coffin?”Li Xing replied with a smile. At the same time, he had already started to dissect the third steak.
"I'm sorry, but if it's a business that is not convenient to disclose, Mr. Li Xing, you don't have to say it.”Blake used his fork to stuff a piece of chicken into his mouth. His movements were so skillful that he did not look like a boorish man who licked the blood on his knife.
"There's nothing inconvenient about it. Simply put, it's a business related to gold.”Li Xing took a sip of red wine and said with a mysterious expression.
"Oh? Working in South Africa? It's a good place." Blake smiled.
"No, in Asia." He shook his head, which surprised Blake.
"With all due respect, in my impression, Asia doesn't seem to be a hot spot. Is there any business to do?”Blake was a little puzzled.
"Not necessarily. There are many businesses in the southwest border. We usually use gold to settle accounts.”Li Xing said casually.
Blake smiled and did not say anything else.
The dinner party went on peacefully until the end. After the prince's romantic birthday speech to the princess consort, it came to an end. The rich and famous people began to leave gradually. Li Xing also prepared to leave with the crowd. Blake handed his business card to Li Xing and bid him farewell.
The reason why he had chatted with him for so long was mainly because he was worried about him. Now that the banquet was over, there was naturally no need for him to continue staying here.
He looked at the business card and casually put it into his wallet.
What if he could still use it in the future? After all, in the future…
