Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 499 The Truth About Coming-of-Age Ceremony

Lin Yu must be fooling Buye Tianhuole.

He entered this birthday party with the intention of killing someone.

However, Lin Yu did not intend to kill Buyetian Huoxing - his target was Art Mercury.

But Huo Le of Bu Ye Tian obviously believed what Lin Yu said.

"Indeed, with your courage, killing someone in public is still too difficult for you... Or rather, even killing someone is probably difficult for you."

Huo Le of Buyetian made his judgment based on his past impressions of Luo.

This judgment cannot be said to be wrong, because Lin Yu also thinks so.

Unfortunately, the current "Folpolo" is not Fu Luo.

Huo Le of Buyetian continued speaking.

"However, this coming-of-age ceremony is indeed a great 'social' opportunity, suitable for both making friends and exploring new areas. Almost all members of the Buyetian family will attend the ceremony, and other noble families in the Nevernight City will also send representatives."

"Buyetian Huoshu and Buyetian Huoxing's fathers have been planning this coming-of-age ceremony for a long time, even inviting many people they wouldn't normally see... such as those who have already gone into seclusion."

As Buyetian Huo Le said this, Lin Yu nodded slightly.

This is probably why the C-77 commission was scheduled for Huo Xing's coming-of-age ceremony in the Nevernight City.

Although committing a crime in the Buyetian family seems dangerous, this might actually be the best opportunity to kill Art Mercury!

This old man who was once in a high position came to the Truth Company to take up a temporary position in order to weaken his influence in the Mercury Family. Therefore, he must usually live in seclusion, his activities are very mysterious, and he is very difficult to find.

Of course, there is another possibility...

"Perhaps the person who hired the assassin deliberately chose such a grand occasion as the 'Bu Ye Tian Huo Xing Coming-of-Age Ceremony'."

After all, when a noble is assassinated, the people who want him dead may not just want him dead.

How the assassinated noble died... is also crucial.

Is it grand or secretive, embarrassing or decent.

A royal noble, and a royal noble who once served as a clan leader, carries too much weight.

Even the angle at which he fell when he died could have caused different effects.

However, for Lin Yu, although these are worth thinking about, there is no need to figure them out too clearly.

Anyway, it is enough for him to get the commission. There is no need to get too deeply involved in the power struggle in the city that never sleeps.

"So, why is this coming-of-age ceremony so grand?"

Lin Yu asked casually.

Huo Le shrugged, seemingly casually saying, "Their biological father has always been very particular about things like pomp and circumstance... After all, he was just a baron's son before, so joining the Buyetian family is considered climbing up the social ladder."

"Of course, another reason might be related to the Nevernight Fire Apricot itself."

As Buyetian Huo Le spoke, Lin Yu was very interested.

"You just mentioned that she has a unique personality. So what's so special about the Nevernight Fire Apricot?"

In Lin Yu's opinion, each of these princes and nobles has some problems.

Being described by these people as having a "weird personality", and because of his eccentric personality, he posed no threat to the position of heir. Lin Yu was still a little curious...

What kind of existence is Buyetian Huoxing, the protagonist of this birthday party and coming-of-age ceremony?

Hearing Lin Yu's question, Buyetian Huo Le sighed.

"She's basically a complete fool. Not to mention among the nobles...even among the commoners, there are very few who are as eccentric as her."

"You've been in Buyetian's house for so long, and you haven't seen her. That's telling."

As Bu Ye Tian Huo Le said this, Lin Yu pondered for a moment and said.

"There are many kinds of stupidity."

Huo Le continued to explain, "Let me put it this way. Although Huo Xing was able to take care of herself, count, and read, and was even somewhat 'exceptionally intelligent' at times, at the age of fourteen, she went out with her entourage, and in just five minutes, she shook off all the guards."

"When we found her, she was in a garbage can in the outer suburbs with a group of raccoons and was sharing food with them."

Lin Yu couldn't help but stand in awe: "Don't you nobles accept education?"

"It's clear that her way of understanding the world is very different from that of a normal person, and education can only alleviate this, not cure or eradicate it."

As Buyetian Huo Le spoke, he also revealed a look of headache.

Normally, as the biological sister of Buyetian Huoshu, even if their relationship is not good, if Buyetian Huoxing is a stupid guy, it will definitely be a good thing for Buyetian Huo Le to be happy.

But obviously, in a sense, the stupidity of Buyetian Huoxing could be a huge trouble for the entire Buyetian family.

Therefore, the worry that Huo Le of Buyetian is feeling at this moment is the worry of being a member of the Buyetian family.

"That's even more strange. Since Buyetian Huoxing is so 'abnormal', and the Buyetian family's strategy in the past has always been to keep her hidden, why did they publicize her coming-of-age ceremony with such a grand ceremony?"

Lin Yu asked with some confusion.

Buyetian Huo Le answered Lin Yu's question: "It's very simple. Since she was born into the Buyetian family, she must make full use of her value. With the behavior she has shown, she has no way to manage the family or join the company. So there is only one way left."

"Marriage—at least she is a genuine descendant of the Buyetian family, and she is the legitimate Second Miss of Buyetian."

Huo Le of Buyetian said lightly.

"Rather than a birthday party or coming-of-age ceremony, this is more like an exhibition of high-priced goods called 'Never-Night Fire Apricots'... allowing those who are willing and qualified to bid to see the quality of my sister."

When Lin Yu heard what Buyetian Huo Le said, he let out a long sigh.

"As expected of aristocrats, as expected of a city that never sleeps... Even our own people are treated as commodities?"

"That's really cruel."

Nevernight Huo Le laughed: "Cruel? Perhaps, but in my opinion, it's already very merciful."

"If I lose, I won't even have the right to be exhibited or auctioned as a commodity."

Having said that, Buyetian Huo Le paused for a moment, then spoke again.

"Well, anyway, if you want to attend this coming-of-age ceremony, I can just give you an invitation... I can have as many of these as I want."

"But I recommend that you tell my mother directly about this. She'll probably be very happy that you've taken the initiative to ask to attend Huo Xing's coming-of-age ceremony."

"Besides, you should go see her."
