The Governor's ambiguous attitude aroused more discussion among the people. For a time, the whole of Venice was discussing the whereabouts of Miss Helen.

A grand ball was being held in a manor in the northern suburbs of Venice. The manor belonged to the Barbarig family, and the organizer of the ball was none other than Johnny, who had spread the news about Miss Helen.

As the heir to the Barbarig family, Johnny has always been a man of the hour in Venice, especially since he also knew Miss Helen's situation, so the ball he held also attracted the attention of the entire Venice, and the entire upper-class nobility of Venice , almost all of them came here, hoping to get more news about Miss Helen from Johnny.

In the living room of the manor, a group of musicians were playing melodious music intoxicatedly. The maids were carrying fine wine and shuttled among the guests. From time to time, people would come out and dance on the dance floor in the middle, winning praises from many people around them.

However, more people gathered together in small groups to discuss the rumors about Miss Helen.

"Maning, you have the best relationship with Johnny. Have you ever asked him about Miss Helen?"

Next to the stairs in the living room, several young people were surrounding a fat young man and asked.

"Of course I've asked about it, but Johnny is a very strict guy, and he won't even tell me. But he took the initiative to hold this dance today, and he will probably reveal more information about Miss Helen."

The fat young man named Ma Ning also answered helplessly.

"Actually... I do know something about Miss Helen."

Unexpectedly, at this moment, an inconspicuous little man in the group suddenly spoke.

"Mo Luo, you didn't hear some rumors about Miss Helen somewhere, so you want to use them to show off, right?"

Unexpectedly, someone looked at the short man named Moro with disdain, and then asked with suspicion.

Although this Moro was also born into a noble family, his family had already begun to decline. Now he only holds the title of a nobleman and can barely sit with the noble children like them, but in fact many people look down on him.

"I...I didn't. I have a servant who knows the people around Johnny. He heard people around Johnny talk about Miss Helen, and he even saw Miss Helen with his own eyes."

Facing other people's doubts, Moro's face turned red, but he still forced himself to argue.

"Mo Luo, tell me now, what do you know?" Ma Ning's eyes lit up when he heard Moro's words, and he immediately asked. Others also showed expectant expressions. After all, if it was the people around Johnny who said it, , that’s still believable.

Seeing that everyone around him was looking at him, Morrow's vanity was greatly satisfied, so he said: "My servant told me that Jonny recently visited the Port of Mufas in Egypt, and was there When he met Miss Helen, Miss Helen was with a tall Han man and there were many guards around him. Johnny also got Miss Helen's permission before he stepped forward and said a few words to Miss Helen."

"Johnny did go to sea some time ago, and it seems that he went to Egypt!"

Ma Ning also clapped his hands in surprise when he heard this. As a good friend of Johnny, he still knew some of his recent movements, and Moro's words also confirmed the information he knew.

"So Johnny really saw Miss Helen, and Miss Helen is really alive!"

Someone nearby shouted in surprise.

Recently, the news about Helen has spread all over the city, and all kinds of true and false news are flying all over the sky, so many people can't tell the difference, and they don't even know whether the news that Miss Helen is alive is true?

"Miss Helen is really alive. Holy Father, I can finally see Miss Helen again!"

There was a young man next to him whose eyes filled with excitement. Apparently he was also one of Helen's suitors.

In fact, not only him, but all the young men around him were very excited. After all, almost all the young noble men in Venice wanted to pursue Helen. Unfortunately, no one could impress Helen, but the more they couldn't get her, the more unwilling they were. , so even though many of these men are already married, they still miss Helen.

"Johnny's out!"

At this moment, Ma Ning suddenly interrupted the excited crowd, and everyone looked around and saw Johnny in a formal dress walking from the back hall, with a slight smile on his handsome face. They also greeted him one after another, and many ladies even winked at him, but they received no response from Johnny.

"Johnny, is Miss Helen really still alive?"

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a tall, bearded man who looked like a lion rushed over, grabbed Johnny's arm and asked loudly.

Seeing this lion-like man, no one at the ball showed any surprise. Even the young people in Ma Ning had expressions of "Sure enough," because they all knew this lion-like man.
