The Grand Anba Hotel is a landmark building in the winter capital. It uses a large number of cylindrical structures in its design. From the outside, it looks like a jungle composed of steam pipes.

At night, the Grand Amba Hotel is brightly lit, and warblers-like songs echo in the night air.

A charity party is being held in the hotel. The wealthy people in the city regard the party as an important social place. They hold wine glasses and gather in groups to talk loudly, using exaggerated words to express how much money their business has made.

Try your best to package yourself as a successful person to attract investment from others.

The so-called charitable donation is just a pretext, its real purpose is to test the financial resources of the guests attending the party. Because although some people look well-dressed, in fact they have empty pockets and empty hands.

When Luke arrived at the Grand Amba Hotel by car, the charity gala was already halfway through. He took off his windbreaker and hat and handed them to the hotel waiter. He walked in in a low-key manner, then went to the donation desk and handed over a check.

Staff receiving donations.

May I ask your name? The staff looked at the amount on the check with a look of disdain. Compared with the donation from the rich just now, this check was missing at least one zero.

But the staff member didn't get an answer. When he looked up, he saw that the donor had walked away. Along with the donor, there was a slim beauty.

It was a bearer check, and the donor did not leave his name. The staff suddenly had the urge to blacken the check. This was an amount that he had not been able to save after working hard for more than ten years.

However, this was just a moment of greed. He had worked at the Grand Amba Hotel for so long and had met so many people. Those who made donations wanted to write their names in big letters in the most conspicuous place.

This was the first time he encountered a donor who used a bearer check and did not leave his name.

Such people are definitely not ordinary people!

The staff put the check into the donation box and focused on the anonymous donor... His female companion was so beautiful!

Dalikova specially dressed up tonight and chose a dark dress to set off her smooth and fair skin. She held Luke's arm and showed confidence in the eyes of those around her.

.

Why did you put down the check without leaving your name?

When Darikova asked Luke, she glanced around, and the men who peeked over all avoided their gazes, causing Darikova to purse her lips and smile.

Luke brought two glasses of red wine from the tray in the hands of the passing waiter and handed one to Darikova. He explained in a meaningful way: This war has something to do with me. Donate some money to help those affected by the war.

, it can be regarded as asking for psychological comfort, there is no need to leave a name.

Dalikova did not understand what Luke meant and thought he was referring to the Titan Type 1 being developed.

At this time, Hulkkin, who knew Luke's arrival, came over anxiously. He couldn't help complaining: Sir, why did you come so late?

Dalikova...why are you here too?

Herkkin couldn't help but frown when he saw Darikova with such outstanding appearance and attire. She was obviously here to play a game.

Luke explained: It has been unsafe in the winter capital recently. I heard that the underground resistance has begun to operate on the surface. Miss Dalikova chose to work overtime to protect me, and she will not affect my meeting with Miss Angelia.

.

Hulkkin looked at Darikova and said nothing more, but said to Luke: Come with me... I will first introduce you to some important people attending the party, and then go to see Miss Angelia.

Miss Angelia tonight is very beautiful, you will like her.

Okay, tonight's arrangements are all up to you.

Luke said goodbye to Dalikova and followed Hulkkin around the party hall, where he got to know several government officials and wealthy businessmen from the Art County Alliance.

Then I met the lady of the Elvis family...Angelia in the rest area.

Angelia has medium-to-short hair, which is brownish-green in color, with some emerald green highlights. Her clothes are neutral and long.

Pants, boots, white silk-edged shirt, and bow tie at the collar.

There was dark red lipstick on her lips, and a pair of gold-rimmed round sunglasses sat on the bridge of her nose.

After Hulkkin approached with Luke, Angelia not only did not stand up, but instead arrogantly put her legs up on the coffee table.

Is your name Luke, the genius steam engineer they call him? Angelia’s eyes looked at Luke from above her sunglasses, and then she let out a disdainful chuckle: You are not my type! I didn’t expect my father to let me marry.

For a nerd.

Hulkkin didn't expect Angelia to be so arrogant when she first came up. Just as he was about to explain, Luke said: Chief, just leave this to me... Anyway, it's just a formality, for outsiders to see.

Hulkkin looked around. Many people turned their attention here intentionally or unintentionally.

This marriage between the Elvis family and Engineer Luke will greatly affect the future situation of all parties in the Art County Alliance.

Sir, I'll leave this to you, and no one will disturb your conversation.

Hulkkin left.

Luke sat down on the sofa opposite Angelia, looking at this unruly young lady from the Elvis family unscrupulously.

Angelia, who was originally unhappy because of the arranged marriage, was so angry when Luke saw her: What are you looking at? Believe it or not, I will dig out your eyeballs!

I do not believe!

Angelia was immediately completely irritated. She stood up and picked up a crystal ashtray on the table and threw it at Luke.

But before the ashtray could hit Luke, he blocked the front of the ashtray with one hand. Angelia pressed harder, but instead of moving forward, the ashtray broke into countless pieces and scattered.

Who are you? Who are you?

Angelia saw a very feminine and beautiful woman standing between herself and Luke. At the same time, there were two men wearing windbreakers with their hats lowered standing on either side of her.

Facing Angelia's question, one of the men in trench coat said respectfully: Miss Angelia, Mr. Luke is very important to Harut Heavy Industry and the County League. Please restrain your anger and do not endanger Mr. Luke's personal safety.

Have a nice night.

The figures of the two men in trench coats gradually faded and disappeared, and Luke saw the bodyguards arranged for him by Harut Heavy Industry head-on for the first time.

Luke patted the place next to him and said to Darikova who was blocking his face: Sit here... Next time Miss Angelia is about to hit me with something, you can do it faster.

Darikova sat down next to Luke obediently, and the two of them were close to each other.

Angelia was reckless, but she could clearly see the situation. Under such tight protection, she really couldn't touch the man in front of her.

only……

Who is this woman? As my future husband, how can I be so close to another woman!

Luke said: You don't like me, and I don't like you either. Since this marriage is completely based on interests, let's not care about each other's private life?

If you agree, we will cooperate and meet a few times, and then we can discuss the engagement.

Angelia looked at Darikova with hostility. Luke bringing such a beautiful woman to such an occasion was simply a provocation to him.

OK, you understand your position very well! Let me introduce you first... I heard that you are very good in steam science?

Yes, I'm very good at steam science...it's your turn!

Angelia didn't expect Luke's self-introduction to be so simple: Is that all?

Luke said helplessly: If I talk about how many papers I have published in Steam Weekly, what achievements I have made in steam academics, and what cross-era significance my research has.

Can you understand?

Being ridiculed mercilessly again, Angelia felt that she had been passive since the beginning of the meeting.

Obviously I let you

It's only right to be embarrassed.

Okay, it's my turn to introduce. My name is Angelia, the lady of the Elvis family... I like drinking, fighting, and racing! Angelia said proudly: I also have a gang, and I am the gang leader.

And I have a fleet of motorcycles in the Underground Steam City.

Do the bikies know?

I heard that they are very powerful in the underground steam city.

I know their boss very well!

Luke was suddenly puzzled.

The boss behind the motorcycle gang is the demon Chi Yan, and the boss on the surface is a hell horned demon. Which boss do you know?

And you are very familiar with the boss of the motorcycle gang, what’s so proud about that!

Your father's power is no greater than that of the motorcycle gang.

Elvis is anxious to marry you off, is it because having a silly girl in the family is too embarrassing and makes you harm others?

Luke couldn't help but look at Darikova beside him, who also showed a helpless expression. Angelia sometimes caused trouble and even had to use the ice cave to wipe her butt.

Facing such a woman who had nothing but her family background, Luke was even less interested.

He stood up and said to Angelia: Well, this meeting means we know each other. From now on, I will run my laboratory and you will run your gang, and we will not interfere with each other.

Goodbye, Miss Angelia.

Luke didn't look at Angelia, turned around and left with a disdainful expression.

Looking at Luke walking away and the beautiful woman beside him, Angelia couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration. She could feel how contemptuous Luke looked at her. No one had ever dared to treat her like this before.

.

Luke, we have plenty of time!

Angelia kicked the coffee table over. The people around her just looked at it and then continued to do their own thing.

On the other side, Luke, who was about to leave the party, was stopped by Hulkkin.
To be continued...
