When they left the manor, the butler prepared a black Benz for the two of them . The car exited the manor from the side door quietly without alerting reporters .
Because it was a private outing, Jiang Chen didn't bring the four Celestial Trades bodyguards . The reason was partially because of his confidence in his own abilities and partially because traveling with four muscular men would ruin the mood .
The entire day, Jiang Chen took Ayesha to tour the attractions in Bava . From the New Swan Fort to the Lake of Alpines, their footsteps traversed the entire area . It wasn't until the sun was setting that the two of them, with an entire memory card full of photos, called it a day .
Looking at the weary but excited red glow on the girl's face, Jiang Chen was delighted .
"Did you have fun today?"
"Mhmm!' Ayesha nodded, pleased .
Her normally expressionless face displayed a rare liveliness fitting for her age .
Jiang Chen smiled . He took the wheel and turned the car onto a rural road .
With just one glance, a golden wheat field entered their sight . The horizon in the distance connected the darkening sky with the jagged mountains . Dusk as a backdrop for the mountains looked magnificent and poetic .
It was already deep into the fall . On the wasteland, it probably started snowing .
Jiang Chen stared at the scene, amazed at the beauty .
Ayesha, by the side, raised her camera and captured a beautiful image .
Seeing as there was still some time, Jiang Chen took a detour and continued along the rural road .
Suddenly, his field of vision expanded .
At the end of the wheat field was a town with scattered lights . Between where the forest connected was a small town segregated by an iron fence . The people in ragged clothes gathered together, looked at the sky, and took care of their malnourished families . In front of the refugee camp, a couple of workers and polices gathered around a few vans as they distributed food and water .
"They are…"
With the camera in her hands, Ayesha gazed at the segregated area in the distance .
"People without a home are known as refugees . They left their home because of the war and most of them are from Libya or Sy—"Jiang Chen stopped suddenly .
He realized it was her hometown .
It must be a terrible feeling to see people from her hometown who had to flee their home .
Snap .
But she merely raised her camera and captured the scene .
"Don't you feel… uh… bad?" Jiang Chen was careful with his words .
Ayesha nodded then shook her head .
"Thank you . "
"Mhmm?"
Jiang Chen looked at Ayesha, puzzled .
She lowered her head with a wistful smile . Her frail fingertips subconsciously rubbed the shutter of the camera .
"If I hadn't met you… I might not even have made it here . "
She recollected everything that happened in the past . While she occasionally encountered danger, most of the time, she felt the warmth of the family . Jiang Chen didn't treat her with brute force just because of her identity; he had always been gentle .
As for his other aspects, she completely forgot about the pain .
"Stop thinking about weird things . " Jiang Chen grinned and used his right hand to rub her hair with force .
"I wasn't . "
Ayesha shook her head and hugged the camera as a shallow smile appeared on her face .
The golden girl gilded by the dusk was holding onto a priceless treasure .
…
When they returned to the Rothschild manor, it was around six .
The butler was waiting for them at the gate .
There was still an hour before the party started . Although Jiang Chen thought there was still an ample amount of time, the adamant butler thought otherwise .
Their attire was provided by the Rothschild family . Since Jiang Chen hadn't known about the party before he arrived, he didn't have any formal attire with him . As for Ayesha, she returned to her room to rest as she wasn't accustomed to this type of gathering .
After being worked on by a few meticulous maids for a while, Jiang Chen barely made it to the party venue before it started .
"Mhmm, not bad, it fits you well . "
Carmen smiled at Jiang Chen at the door .
"Thank you . " They walked together into the venue .
The circular venue was decorated exquisitely with class . The diamond chandeliers illuminated the ceiling of the venue . Influential and powerful people from all industries were gathered there; the duchesses and celebrities chatted amongst themselves while waiters with champagne traversed between the circles .
The people invited to the gathering were mostly leaders in finance, industry tycoons or powerful politicians . Because he was outside of the "circle," Jiang Chen didn't see anyone he knew .
He didn't know if it was an illusion or not but the instant he walked into the room, at least ten pairs of eyes consciously and subconsciously were focused on him .
"The Rothschild family isn't most proud of the assets we possess, but rather, it's the connections we have . A few guests here are the major shareholders of one hundred billion public companies, and quite a few people here were the president or vice president of a country; we consider all of these people our friends . The business partnerships established at a party is no lesser than any established at an international business summit . This kind of party will be hosted by us every few months . You are all gathered here at just the right time; I can introduce you all to a few interesting people . "
Carmen smiled with his white teeth showing . He opened his arms wide and greeted the man with red hair walking towards him .
"Long time no see, Carmen, my old friend . "
"Haha, my friend, long time no see indeed . Let me introduce you - this is Jiang Chen . " Carmen introduced him to his friend .
The red-haired man displayed a slightly shocked expression before he immediately smiled and extended his right hand .
"Glad to meet you, Mr . Jiang Chen . Your company's Phantom helmet left me with a profound expression . But unfortunately, your colosseum server only opened level 10 combat . I look forward to the day when the game is officially released . I'm Peter McLean - you can call me Peter . "
Jiang Chen shook Peter's hand as he replied, "Nice to meet you, Peter . I trust that when that day comes, I assure you won't be disappointed . "
"Peter McLean, the president of UK's Guardian, the second largest data backup equipment company in Europe . The old rival of IBM . " Carmen introduced him casually to Jiang Chen .
"Don't make fun of me . " Peter made an exaggerated expression . "Why don't we have some champagne to lighten up the mood?"
Due to the restriction of language and other influences, European tech companies were naturally at a disadvantage . Although the Guardian received contracts from British forces, IBM didn't view this old rival as competition anymore .
"Great idea . " Carmen laughed . "For this party, I brought the most expensive wine from Bava vineyards; please enjoy . "
A table was lined up with crystal cups; the waiter courteously poured Jiang Chen a cup of wine .
Just as Jiang Chen wondered if he should find a "useful" circle of people to mingle with, a man with a beer belly walked up to him with a bright smile .
Beside him was a young blonde girl .
"You must be Mr . Jiang Chen, am I correct?"
