My Waste Husband
Chapter 768

Chapter 768

When Baron and the others left the small house, they saw Henry standing at the entrance of the weapons store and talking to Bard.

Seeing Baron and the others come out, Bard immediately said, "You guys, just now the Eighth Concubine's servants contacted me. The banquet has begun. Let's go quickly."

"Let's go." Baron waved his hand and patted the standard pistol on his waist. With the weapons in their hand, they felt much more at ease.

On the way, Bard explained the latest development of the situation to everyone.

"The three forces have been fighting for the gold mine recently, and suffered heavy casualties. Although guns are not expensive, the price of bullets is ridiculously high. For a 5.8 millimetres bullet, the price has reached three yuan."

"Three? That's a robbery!" Henry spoke. The price of bullets was ridiculously expensive in China. In regular shooting clubs, the price of a bullet was more than ten yuan, but in Africa, ordinary bullets were sold in bulks. Now, one

bullet was sold for three yuan, which was almost ten times higher than before.

"There's nothing we can do about it." Bard shrugged. "This is the current situation. If anyone ever talks about it during the banquet, please don't act surprised. After all, everyone in Golden City knows exactly what the price is."

Baron and the others did not speak. They all listened carefully to Bard's words and remembered them.

Henry was very familiar with the place where the Eighth Concubine invited them for a banquet. It was City Lord's Mansion in Golden City.

However, after the major forces entered Golden City, the mansion also changed greatly. First of all, the whole City Lord's Mansion was divided into three regions, each of which was about 10,000 square meters and there was a four-floor building.

In this place, labour was the cheapest. It was no exaggeration to say that if the building could be built for one month in other places, here, it could be completed in two or three days.

The City Lord's Mansion was divided into three sections, which respectively belonged to Zachary Sanchez, Bolton Simmons, and

Randell Watson.

These three warlords were all famous in this area. Each of them was surrounded by tens of thousands of mercenaries. It was no exaggeration to say that the three of them could start a war in this area casually.

In the past, the three great armies were all under the control of Radiant Island. Everyone treated Radiant Island with the utmost respect.

At this moment, the three warlords were the first to lose control and attack Golden City.

The City Lord's Mansion was a particularly eye- catching building in the entire Golden City.

The four-floor building could be said to be the highest building in Golden City. From its outer appearance alone, it looked resplendent and magnificent, resembling a Western palace from the ancient times. The huge clock was embedded at the top of the City Lord's Manor.

Bard took Henry and others to the gate of the mansion. The gate was 15 metres wide, and the front door was covered with a shiny marble board. Two maids were lying on the ground and wiping the floor carefully. Before the front foot has touched the ground, the footprint that back foot left was wiped away, even though the sun had fallen.

Henry and others saw that many mercenary teams were walking into the gate of the mansion with red invitations.

Bard said, "These are all invited to the Eighth Concubine's banquet."

There were dozens of mercenary teams of all sizes.

The location of Golden City could be said to be on one of the main roads connecting the north and south. Many people would come here to get some necessary supplies and enjoy some goods sale. The flow of people coming and going was extremely large.

With Bard leading the way, Henry and others held the invitation and entered the mansion with ease. Except for large guns such as automatic rifles, small pistols were allowed.

If even the pistols were not allowed, probably no one would dare to attend this banquet.

As soon as they entered the gate of the mansion, a long bluestone brick appeared under everyone's feet. The two sides of the bluestone tiles were covered with flowers. At first glance, it was extremely colourful. In front of them, there was a beautiful garden.

There was a gardener who had specially trimmed these flowers and plants, making them extraordinarily exquisite.

"The Eighth Concubine really likes all sorts of plants and flowers. As soon as she moved into the mansion, she ordered for someone to transplant these plants over." Bard explained to everyone.

The road full of fresh flowers was full of fragrance. The crowd walked past and saw a hall.

The hall had two floors, each floor covering an area of about 500 square metres. The four walls of the hall were made of transparent glass, so the inside of the hall could be seen at a glance.

The whole floor of the hall was made of marble. There were an expensive leather sofa and a neat carpet on the ground. A long buffet table was filled with delicate food, such as expensive King's crab. The 10 kilograms of Australian lobster were placed in the shape of a mountain. The expensive wine was ready for people to taste it. The beef on the bones was so tender that it would come off in just one bite. And the Tibetan mastiffs tied in the corner was ready to enjoy the bones.

"Poor people can scent the delicious food coming from the mansion while they starve to death on the street." Baron shook his head. When they entered the city, they saw those people, who were as thin as firewood, at the gate of the city. A three-year-old boy was happy because of a piece of biscuit, but in this place, such a large piece of bone was casually thrown to the dog.

"In a place like this, no one will care about you." Bard said.

The crowd followed Bard into the hall. As soon as they entered, they saw a western young woman in a red evening dress standing in the middle of the hall. Compared with the mercenaries who were dressed in leather armours, this western woman in an evening dress looked out of place. But judging from her position and the way a group of people were fighting and talking with her, it could be seen that this woman was the protagonist of this banquet.

"She is Zachary's eighth concubine, Christienne, but she likes it more when others call her Anna." Bard whispered to the crowd.

Although different races were gathered in Golden City, it was obvious that there were the least yellow-skinned people. Many people in the jungle believed that the white race and the black race had the strongest physical quality and that the yellow race was the weakest.

A black man once said that he could kill a yellow man with one punch, and more than once shouted out the words that people from Asia are weak and sick.

The appearance of Henry and his men attracted a lot of attention immediately. When many people saw Henry and others, they all showed disdain on their faces. Although it was the era of weapons, people still looked down on Henry and his men because they were not necessarily powerful, and compared with those black strong men, they were weak.

Anna also noticed Henry and the others. She glanced at them and then continued to talk to the people in front of her, and did not pay much attention to them.

"Everyone, enjoy the banquet. There is nothing wrong with the food here. You can enjoy it as you like," said Bard. Then he picked up a piece of bread and put it into his mouth, proving that there was nothing wrong with the food.
