Machine War: Starting from Gundam OO

Chapter 1685: Brave Archibald: I am very timid!

That night, the Principality of Rixent was still bustling, with travelers from all over the world taking to the streets to enjoy the local nightlife.

In the palace, Princess Xia Yin once again convened a banquet of the highest standards. She did not use the emperor as an excuse, but gave the senior officials of the Principality of Rixent another opportunity to contact Yang Hui. After all, their contact was only a short moment at the last banquet. Although Yang Hui received many invitations, none of them received a response. This time, they seemed to see hope at the bottom of despair, and reached out their hands, trying desperately to grab it.

"Master Yang Hui, you must agree this time."

"Yes, although it is a bit presumptuous, we will definitely satisfy you."

"Haha, gentlemen, please don't be so excited." If it were in the past, Yang Hui would probably ignore these people and run away, but now he can handle it with ease. "Thank you very much for your invitation, but unfortunately, I will leave the Principality of Rixent in two days. I still have a lot of official business to deal with before I leave, so I may not be able to spare the time to receive you."

"I see. That's a pity."

"It's okay, Lord Yang Hui. If you have the chance, I will definitely visit you when you come to the Principality of Rixent again."

The people surrounding Yang Hui didn't think that Yang Hui's refusal was an insult to their reputation. Although they felt a little regretful, the rejection was also expected.

No matter whether they are high-ranking politicians or private wealthy businessmen, those who are invited to this banquet are no small figures. They all have their own intelligence channels, and they know some information about Yang Hui... They cannot say that they understand it, but they know a thing or two. They also know that Yang Hui does not like these social events. The first time he participated, he could say that he was giving face to Princess Xia Yin, but the second time he participated, it was just to give them face... no, it should be said that it was a reward.

They also learned that Yang Hui's official duties were indeed very busy, completely different from those high-ranking officials who only cared about watching others work hard.

So be prepared to be rejected from the beginning, and being able to become more familiar to others is also a big gain.

"There will be a chance." Yang Hui nodded. Although he didn't like socializing, there was one thing Yang Hui had to admit. The tourism industry in the Principality of Rixent was indeed well developed. It was a good place to relax. If he had free time in the future, it would be a good choice to visit the Principality of Rixent again.

Just after the crowd surrounding Yang Hui dispersed, Yang Hui suddenly froze for a moment, with the corners of his mouth curled up in a dangerous arc.

"Master Yang Hui." At this time, Shanamia also reported to Yang Hui, "The intelligence personnel have reported that they have begun to take action."

"Okay, start the evacuation process and get as many people as possible to evacuate."

"learn."

As the host of the banquet, Princess Xia Yin also received the news and quickly instructed the butler to let the waiters lead the guests in the venue to different shelters. At the same time, a group of bionic robots that looked exactly like those people and even had similar body shapes and behaviors returned to the venue under the leadership of the waiters, and the banquet returned to its most lively time.

"Master Yang Hui, all the guests have taken refuge. Please move." Princess Xia Yin came to Yang Hui with her butler. The three of them and Shanamiya were the last real people in the venue. Even the waiters left the venue after completing their work and went to take refuge according to the previously planned route. "Well, you go ahead. I'll stay here." Yang Hui said to Princess Xia Yin and Shanamiya. They were not combatants, at least not yet, and Princess Xia Yin was going to receive the gifts brought by the emperor from Promise.

"But Lord Yang Hui, you..."

"Don't worry about my safety." Yang Hui waved his hand and said, "Even if a native species stands directly in front of me, they can't hurt me."

"...I understand." Princess Xia Yin was still worried, but after a few days of contact, she knew Yang Hui's character. He was a man of his word and no one could dissuade him from his decision. Moreover, the fact that Yang Hui dared to say so showed that he was confident enough.

Xia Na Mia, who should have firmly opposed it, did not force herself to stay or ask Yang Hui to seek refuge at this time, because she knew Yang Hui better than Princess Xia Yin, and if she could not persuade him, there would be no danger: "Lord Yang Hui, please pay attention to your safety."

"Well, let's go."

After Princess Xia Yin and Xia Na Mia left, Yang Hui found a seat and continued to taste the wine, waiting for the arrival of guests. As for those bionic robots... they just did what they were supposed to do, as if Yang Hui did not exist at all.

Sure enough, not long after, a thin black mist filled the banquet hall, and space jump exits appeared on the ground. Small native species wearing blue armor suddenly appeared in the banquet hall, and vine tentacles shot out, binding all the bionic robots in the banquet hall.

"Oh my, so he is not a real person after all." At this moment, Archibald's voice rang out in the banquet hall. He walked out of the mist slowly with his hands behind his back and sat opposite Yang Hui. "But you didn't seek refuge. You are really... arrogant, Mr. Yang Hui."

"Really?" Yang Hui smiled coldly and put down his glass. "I don't think a person who doesn't dare to meet me in his true form is that dangerous."

"As expected of Mr. Yang Hui, you saw through it at a glance." Just as Yang Hui said, the Archibald in front of him was not his real body, not even a physical entity, but just a means of remote virtual imaging. "But don't underestimate my friends, they are very outstanding."

"What did you say?" Yang Hui tilted his head, as if he didn't hear clearly what Archibald said.

"Hahaha! As expected, Mr. Yang Hui is not so easy to contact even without a body." Archibald laughed, and was glad for his wise decision, because the small native species that appeared in the banquet hall and even in the entire palace were all completely wrapped in emerald green crystals and could not move. Archibald even lost contact with them, and this happened in just a moment.

"So I should admire your courage." Yang Hui stood up, bent over and approached Archibald's projection. The smile on his face became colder and more cruel. "I haven't even left yet, and you dare to take action. And you even dare to have ideas about Huang. Really... have you thought about how to die?"

"Oh, it's really scary, Mr. Yang Hui." Facing Yang Hui's threat, Archibald was not afraid, but grinned, showing the same smile as Yang Hui, "You are exaggerating, I am very timid, so... of course I have to be prepared!"
