Start inheriting a mercenary group

At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door. Lu Ting put down the invitation in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Come in."

The door was pushed open gently, and Miss Qiao Anlu walked in. She wore a tailored evening gown, the skirt of which swayed gently with her steps, like a blooming flower. There was a faint smile on her face, and her eyes revealed a kind of elegance and confidence.

"Lu Ting, are you ready?" Miss Qiao Anlu asked softly.

Lu Ting stood up and responded with a smile: "Of course, I can't wait to participate in this event."

On the day of the event, the moonlight shone on the ground through thin clouds, and the breeze blew gently, adding a touch of natural elegance to this high-end social event.

Lu Ting stood in front of the mirror, adjusting his crisp suit. His eyes were firm and deep, as if he could see through all hypocrisy and lies.

Miss Qiao Anlu was wearing a gorgeous evening dress. Her makeup was exquisite and her long hair was gently rolled up, revealing her elegant neckline. Her beauty was like a bright pearl, making people unable to take their eyes away.

The two walked out of the room together, holding hands, and walked into the radiant scene. Their appearance immediately attracted the attention of everyone present, as if a pair of beautiful people had descended into the mortal world, which was astonishing.

The venue was decorated luxuriously and elegantly, with golden lights and silver decorations reflecting each other, creating a noble and mysterious atmosphere.

Elites from all walks of life gathered together, and their chatter, laughter and clinking of glasses intertwined to form a unique symphony.

The hotel is brightly lit, with golden lights shining on the crystal clear crystal chandeliers, reflecting thousands of rays of light.

Soft music flows in the air, creating a peaceful and luxurious atmosphere.

Lu Ting walked on the red carpet calmly, his eyes scanning the crowd.

He saw familiar faces, all of them important figures in the business world. They were chatting and laughing, or drinking together. Each one of them exuded a unique charm.

Lu Ting and Miss Qiao Anlu shuttled among the crowd, and their appearance undoubtedly became the focus of the event. People's eyes are flowing on them, some are envious, some are jealous, but most of them are admiration and respect.

They walked among the crowd, greeting some familiar faces from time to time.

Lu Ting discovered that this event indeed attracted participation from people from all walks of life, including not only business elites, political figures and celebrities, but also some well-known figures in the literary and artistic circles. Their arrival undoubtedly added a lot of color to the event.

"Lu Ting, you look very nervous." Miss Qiao Anlu teased softly, with a naughty smile on her lips.

"Nervous? How could I be nervous?" Lu Ting smiled slightly and said calmly, "I am a person who has experienced countless storms and waves."

"Oh? Really? Then I want to see how a stormy person like you handles this social storm today." Miss Qiao Anlu said with a smile.

While the two were chatting and laughing, a uniformed waiter came over and respectfully handed two glasses of champagne.

Lu Ting took the wine glass, clinked it gently with Miss Qiao Anlu, and drank it all in one gulp. The sweetness of champagne and the stimulation of bubbles intertwine on the tip of the tongue, seeming to add a unique memory to this special moment.

Lu Ting looked around and found that the scale of the reception far exceeded his expectations.

The attendees were all elites in the business world. They wore elegant dresses, held goblets, talked and smiled under the lights.

After Lu Ting entered the room, he was quickly noticed by other participants. He is tall and straight, with a straight suit and extraordinary temperament. His eyes were firm and confident, as if he could see through people's hearts.

"Sir, is this your first time attending our cocktail party?" A lady in a white dress walked up and asked with a smile.

"Yes, I am Lu Ting. I am honored to receive the invitation." Lu Ting replied with a smile.

"Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Lu Ting, the commander of the Immortal Armed Mercenary Group! I have heard about your deeds and admire your courage and wisdom very much." The eyes of the lady in white dress revealed admiration and respect.

Lu Ting was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that he would meet someone who knew him here. He smiled modestly: "Thank you very much. I just did what I should do."

The two chatted for a while, and the lady in the white dress introduced some business friends to Lu Ting. Lu Ting shook hands with them one by one and exchanged business cards.

During the reception, Lu Ting always maintained a humble and low-key attitude.

He listened carefully to what everyone said and offered his own insights and opinions from time to time. His humor and wit also won the favor of many people present.

"Mr. Lu Ting, I heard that your mercenary group is very good in security. I wonder if there is a chance to cooperate?" A middle-aged man walked up to Lu Ting and asked with a smile.

"Of course, we very much welcome all forms of cooperation." Lu Ting replied, "I wonder what security services you are interested in?"

The middle-aged man introduced his company and business scope, and expressed his hope to get assistance from the Immortal Armed Mercenary Group on some important projects. Lu Ting said he would seriously consider it and agreed to discuss cooperation matters in detail in the near future.

In this way, Lu Ting made more and more connections at the cocktail party, which also brought more cooperation opportunities to the Immortal Armed Mercenary Group.

He was in a very happy mood, as if he saw a road full of hope and opportunities unfolding ahead.

Of course, some people have reservations about Lu Ting. They believed that the commander of an armed mercenary group was not suitable to appear in such high-end social occasions.

During the cocktail party, Lu Ting also encountered some interesting things. For example, there was a man wearing strange clothes who kept following him and seemed to be very interested in him; there was also a beautiful lady who kept ogling him, which made him a little overwhelmed.

However, Lu Ting was not disturbed by these things. He always remained calm and rational, focusing on his goals and tasks.

Then, Lu Ting walked towards a middle-aged man wearing a suit.

This man looks quite serious, but his eyes reveal shrewdness and capability. Lu Ting took the initiative to shake hands with him, smiled and said, "Sir, what do you think of the economic situation tonight?"

The man was stunned for a moment, not expecting Lu Ting to take the initiative to talk to him.

He collected his thoughts and replied: "I think that although the current economic situation is complex and changeable, it also contains many opportunities. As long as we can assess the situation and seize the opportunities, we will be able to achieve success."

Lu Ting nodded in agreement. He took the opportunity to introduce the strength and advantages of the Immortal Armed Mercenary Group in security and investment to the man, and expressed his willingness to cooperate with him. After listening to Lu Ting's introduction, the man's eyes flashed with interest and expressed his willingness to consider the possibility of cooperating with the Immortal Armed Mercenary Group.

In this way, Lu Ting actively participated in various social activities during the reception and had in-depth communication and contact with the guests.

He talks and laughs well, behaves well, and can easily deal with both business leaders and celebrities.

His charisma and leadership were on full display, further solidifying his standing in the business world.

Of course, there were also some unfriendly voices and provocative looks at the reception. But Lu Ting resolved them one by one. He used his wisdom and courage to win the respect and recognition of more people.

At this moment, the music suddenly sounded, and pairs of dancers stepped onto the dance floor and started dancing.

Lu Ting looked at Miss Qiao Anlu, with a glint of invitation flashing in his eyes. Miss Qiao Anlu understood. She nodded slightly, then took Lu Ting's arm and walked onto the dance floor.

Their dance steps are elegant and coordinated, like two magnets attracting each other. No matter how they spin or jump, they always stick to each other.

People present were attracted by their dancing and stopped to watch. For a moment, the center of the dance floor seemed to have turned into a unique stage, a stage that belonged only to Lu Ting and Miss Qiao Anlu.

The song ended with thunderous applause. Lu Ting and Miss Qiao Anlu smiled at each other, then returned to their seats arm in arm.

Their actions undoubtedly announced their relationship to everyone present - they were like an inseparable couple.

McCarron, the deputy leader of the Redemption Mercenary Group, is a tall man with a seemingly friendly but sinister smile on his face.

On this day, he was wearing a crisp dark blue suit, with a shining Redemption Mercenary Corps badge on his chest, and strode into the charity event.

This high-end social event attracted elites from all walks of life, and the venue was decorated with elegance and luxury.

Golden lights shine on the exquisite tableware and gorgeous decorations, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.

Soft music floats in the air, accompanied by the occasional laughter and conversation, forming a unique symphony.

McCarron looked around, searching the crowd. Suddenly, his eyes were fixed on a pair of beautiful people - Lu Ting and Miss Qiao Anlu.

The two were holding hands, like a pair of golden boys and girls, looking particularly dazzling in the crowd. Seeing this scene, McAllen's eyes flashed with a hint of evil, and he couldn't help but feel jealous in his heart.

He has always had a good impression of Miss Qiao Anlu, not only because of her beauty and temperament, but also because of her intelligence and independence.

In Macallan's eyes, Miss Joanne is like a bright pearl, and he longs to be the owner of that pearl.

However, reality made him run into walls again and again - Miss Qiao Anlu didn't seem to have much interest in him, and instead she got closer and closer to Lu Ting.

McCarron gritted his teeth, feeling an indescribable anger and frustration welling up in his heart.

He decided to take action and get close to Miss Qiao Anlu no matter what, to destroy the relationship between her and Lu Ting. He believed that as long as he had a chance, he would be able to win Miss Qiao Anlu's heart.

So, he straightened his suit, forced a stiff smile on his face, and walked in the direction of Miss Qiao Anlu and Lu Ting.

As he walked, he mentally thought about how to speak so that he could appear natural and yet still be graceful.

"Miss Qiao Anlu, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here." McCarron said while showing what he thought was a charming smile.

Miss Qiao Anlu turned around and saw McCarron. Her brows frowned slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. She smiled politely and said, "Oh, it's Mr. McCarron, good evening."

McCarron didn't seem to notice Miss Joanne Lu's indifference. He continued: "Miss Joanne Lu, you are so radiant tonight. It is really an honor for me to participate in this event with you."

Miss Qiao Anlu smiled awkwardly and did not respond to his words. She knew in her heart that Macallan's affection for her was just out of a man's possessiveness and desire to conquer, rather than because he really liked her. As a result, she always maintained a wary distance from her passion for The Macallan.

However, McCarron was not ready to give up. He continued: "Miss Qiao Anlu, do you know? I have always admired you, and your wisdom and temperament have deeply attracted me. I wonder if I have a chance to get to know you better?"

After hearing this, Miss Qiao Anlu's smile became even stiffer. She didn't know how to respond to McCarron's words, so she tried to remain polite and calm.

Miss Qiao Anlu smiled politely, but did not respond to his words.

She turned slightly sideways and turned her gaze to Lu Ting, as if asking him how to deal with this uninvited visitor. Lu Ting calmly held her hand tightly and gave her a comforting look.

When McCarron saw this, he felt even more dissatisfied. He coughed dryly and tried to draw the two people's attention back to him: "Miss Qiao Anlu, I wonder if I have the honor to ask you to dance?" As he said, he stretched out his hand and waited for Miss Qiao Anlu. response.

However, Miss Qiao Anlu did not extend her hand as he expected. She frowned slightly and looked at McAllen's hand, seeming hesitant.

Miss Qiao Anlu glanced at Lu Ting, then smiled and rejected Macallan's invitation: "Thank you for the invitation, Mr. Macallan. But I have skipped it with Lu Ting, and now I want to take a rest."

McCarron's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure: "It's okay, Miss Qiao Anlu. I can wait until you have rested before jumping."

Lu Ting looked at McAllen's actions and couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in his heart.

He knew that McAllen had always had a good impression of Miss Qiao Anlu, but he did not expect that McAllen would be openly provocative at this time.

At this moment, Lu Ting spoke: "Mr. McCarron, I think you may have misunderstood. Miss Qiao Anlu will be my dance partner tonight, and we have agreed." Although his tone was calm, there was a hint of An undoubted force.

McCarron was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned a little ugly. He took back his hand and laughed a few times: "Oh? Really?"

This charity event became a war without gunpowder, in which various forces fought overtly and covertly, and each showed their magical powers. (End of chapter)
