Invisible Security Guard-Chapter 2299 - 2318: Appraising the Zither

In the carriage, when Soren Simon was both threatening and enticing, Dominic Ruiz in the Blue Sea and Cloud Sky was already on a rampage. He was yelling about going out to kill the entire Simon family, grabbing Yusuf Zuck by the collar, demanding to be let out.

This guy was really pissed off, his woman being eyed by a good-for-nothing rich boy, giving money and threats. Damn it, did this rich boy not know that all the money from his family was painted by Dominic Ruiz himself?

Everyone was persuading Dominic Ruiz to calm down, and everyone also had the impulse to beat that Soren Simon to death.

"You have to trust your woman, trust your charisma. If your woman can’t even solve such a small problem, how can she be worthy of you?" Yusuf Zuck advised.

"That’s true, my charisma is indeed unparalleled." Dominic Ruiz shook his clothes and tidied his collar, the kind of guy who would be lost with just a few compliments.

"You can kill Armando Simon, but not now. If you rush out now, we’ll all be exposed. Then you can dismember him, and I’ll even hand you the knife, alright?" Yusuf Zuck continued to persuade.

"That talk makes me feel good, alright, I’ll give you face, brother!" Dominic Ruiz sat down contentedly.

Meanwhile, on the Flying Tiger Chariot, Soren Simon continued threatening, "Nine Dings City belongs to my family. Not to mention whether you can escape from my grasp, even if I give your troupe master ten billion, they would still hand you over to me, right? So let’s just have one go tonight, and then I’ll pretend nothing happened, and you can still get ten billion, enough for you to sing through several cycles!"

"Alright, enough, I agree, not a cent less than one hundred billion!" Karen Burch coldly replied.

"Hahaha, it won’t be less, it won’t be less!" Soren Simon laughed triumphantly.

"Alright, alright, tonight I’ll destroy you first!" Dominic Ruiz gritted his teeth and said.

Soon, the convoy entered through the side gate of Simon Mansion, and Soren Simon led everyone backstage at the Garden Theater, preparing for the performance. The Simon family didn’t send any major figures to greet them; after all, they were just a troupe, and even having Soren Simon alone was already giving them face.

At night, the garden was set with more than a dozen Eight Immortals Tables, and there were quite a few guests tonight, including Donovan Blackwell and the Martial Saint. There were also some loose cultivators from the martial world, and even the weakest among them were in the Eternal Life Ninth Layer.

Soren Simon was red-faced, frequently raising his glass and toasting from table to table. As the big wedding approached, his family became more lively, with banquets happening daily. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Before long, the sound of "thump thump thump" echoed from the stage. As soon as the curtain opened, a large group of warrior characters came on stage from both sides, and finally, the star performer Little Peach Blossom appeared, accompanying a zither melody, she began to sing.

It had a bit of Peking Opera flair, but still very different; whatever was being sung, Yusuf Zuck couldn’t understand, but the applause below was plenty!

Many people were listening, enraptured, even Dominic Ruiz was nodding along, and Porter Ray was full of praise, mentioning what a fine voice it was, and how she had the makings of a star.

Yusuf Zuck was a rough man, unable to appreciate these singing quirks, and it just gave him a headache.

But he followed Karen Burch’s gaze to the assorted important figures in the audience.

Ayden Acme, the all-knowing figure, recognized over ninety percent of the people in the audience by name, background, what Divine Skills they practiced, and what position they held in Patrick Ruiz’s heaven—all clearly known.

While Yusuf Zuck and Ayden Acme were chatting and others were listening to the music, Yusuf Zuck saw Soren Simon call over Soren Simon and whisper something to him. Then Soren Simon looked sour-faced, defending himself about something. Finally, Soren Simon rolled his eyes and patted his shoulder, which made Soren Simon eventually beam with smiles.

This small interaction was seen not only by Yusuf Zuck but everyone else as well, though no one heard what the father and son were saying.

But... when Karen Burch finished her song and went backstage to change costumes, Soren Simon arrived, pulled her aside, and directly raised two fingers: "Two hundred billion!"

"What do you mean?" Karen Burch asked, puzzled.

"Tonight you accompany my father first, and tomorrow night you accompany me..."

"Pfft~" Yusuf Zuck and others nearly spat blood. What the hell, what’s with this Simon family, are they all like this?

"Hmph!" Porter Ray snorted angrily but said nothing, while Kenzo Ray shook his head with a smile, "The Simon family has been unscrupulous in this area for years, alas!"

"Damn it, this father-son duo is a freak, what a disgraceful family!" Dominic Ruiz cursed.

"Five hundred billion, or no deal. I know you Simon family just made big bucks at the auction. Without five hundred billion, previous agreements are null and void!" Karen Burch boldy demanded, raising the stakes.

"And such things, if they get out, are not good for talk. My reputation will be ruined, and I also want three Half-Step Creation attack talismans!"

"Deal, no problem." Soren Simon didn’t care about the number of sin stones, as long as Little Peach Blossom agreed, his Simon family wasn’t short of money now.

He scampered away and went to Soren Simon, whispering a few sentences, to which Soren Simon stroked his beard and laughed.

The performance lasted until after midnight and then stopped. All members of the troupe were escorted to guest rooms, personally led by Soren Simon. However, after sending everyone to the guest rooms, he took Karen Burch directly to a garden in the back residence.

The garden was eerily quiet, without a single guard, servant, or maid. After sending Karen Burch to the garden, Soren Simon closed the gate.

Karen Burch gently adjusted her long hair and walked inside by herself.

Inside was a main room, dimly lit. As Karen Burch lightly pushed open the door, she detected the scent of ambergris and Love Provoking Powder.

She immediately held her breath and didn’t proceed further, standing quietly.

"Heh, Peach Blossom has come. Not long ago, I acquired a guzheng, a Divine Artifact from the Ancient Era, but no one has played it. Tonight, Peach Blossom, I invite you to appraise it." Soren Simon emerged from a dark corner, his eyes slightly bloodshot, not from crying, but as though a beast within him was ready to burst forth. At this moment, he seemed like a predatory beast ready to pounce!

It was certainly Soren Simon, but it seemed his demon nature had flared! Of course, even so, he couldn’t help but maintain some dignity, starting the conversation with the appreciation of a zither.

"Peach Blossom is willing to play a piece for Lord Simon to enhance tonight’s pleasure!" Karen Burch smiled lightly, then entered and sat before the guzheng, gently placing all ten fingers on it!

"No, no, not that kind of playing. I prefer the rhythm of an uncovered body, that’s the most pleasing. As the body moves, with the music’s notes, only then is it the true Unity of Heaven and Man!"

"Damn it, that old pervert, activate the Blue Sea and Cloud Sky, I’ll destroy him myself..." Dominic Ruiz shouted, Soren Simon really was an old deviant!
