December 30th, 11:50 pm.

The ceremony of awarding and enthroning has ended, and the empire's upstarts with a bright face have been smoothly and naturally integrated into small circles.

The New Year's Celebration Banquet at Hydra Palace, just like in the Wittu family's residence in Tulum Harbor, has reached its climax.

The huge palace banquet hall was brightly lit, and young noble men and women lined up in neat rows, accompanied by melodious music, following the stereotype and tradition, but the obsessive-compulsive patients felt pleasing to their eyes, and they danced a grand group dance in a straightforward manner.

More than three thousand pairs of dancers dance together, regardless of men and women, each person's rhythm is meticulous, and everyone's movements are almost exactly the same... Such a large dance party that is "pleasant to the eye" and "unified" can only appear at the court dance party of the Delun Empire.

Joe stood in a little embarrassedly in the corner of the banquet hall, holding a wine glass, and looking at Gorkin and Tifa dancing in the hall in disappointment.

Beside him, only Mrs. Mary and Weima are companions.

Old Mrs. Mary held a small butter cake and stuck out her tongue to lick the sweet butter little by little.

Liya was not here, and Weima was not supervised. She was holding a huge ice cream bucket and swallowing the vanilla ice cream with a smile on her face.

"Court dance and other things are the most boring." Qiao raised his wine glass, killed a large mouthful of wine, and snorted coldly with his nose tilted, "Look at those little women, their eyes stick to Gorkin, and they won't move. And those coquettish guys... If they want to hook up with Tifa, they have to consider how hard their bones are."

Old Mrs. Mary glanced at Joe. She took two steps and approached Joe, stretched out her hand and gestured over her head. Her head had just passed Joe's waistline!

"This is a problem, Joe...this is a problem." Old Mrs. Mary sighed: "Empire girls like tall and burly men. This is the most traditional and simple aesthetic of the empire."

"But your size is a problem." Old Mrs. Mary frowned and kept shaking her head: "Of course, nine out of ten girls present want to marry you, there is no doubt."

"But no girl is willing to dance with you in public... Can you understand this feeling? It's like a monkey, spinning around a big tree stump... Little girls are also shameful!"

Joe's face was pitch black.

Weima was cheerful, rolling her eyes, straightening her neck, swallowing a big mouthful of ice cream, breathing hard, and then smiling at the top of her throat: "Mom is right, Joe, you are too big, it's hard for you to find a girl with good looks!"

Old Mrs. Mary's eyes narrowed into a line with smile.

She stroked the top of her head with her hands again, gently tapping the edge of her palm near Joe's waistline, and then sighed: "You just turned eighteen years old... you won't grow your head anymore, right? In fact, your current size is a bit, too much, Joe... a little too much!"

"I... don't know!" Qiao's face turned red, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to get into the cracks in the ground.

After the enthronement ceremony, Joe and Gorkin were quickly surrounded by a large group of enthusiastic young nobles, and countless people chatted with them, hoping to become their "good friends" as quickly as possible.

However, after the banquet hall is opened and the welcome party and cocktail party officially begins...

Gorkin successfully hooked up with a lady from the direct descendant of the Duke of Beihai. The two entered the dance venue hand in hand, and were arranged by the court etiquette officer to lead the dancer.

And Joe...

The noble ladies who wanted to hang their bodies on Qiao ran away from him almost like a ghost.

No noble lady is willing to be Joe's dance partner!

None!

What else can be done?

The first large-scale court dance that Qiao Nian attended after he turned 18, the newly released Marquis of Lockson, under the Delun Empire, could only be alone, accompanying his underage little sister, squatting aside to watch others dance.

Laplaci's sharp and delicate voice rang in Joe's mind.

"You seem a little unhappy? But you quickly don't care about this little problem... Given our friendship, my dear Crimson, if you are willing to give a tiny hundred golden mark..."

Qiao nodded vigorously and coughed.

In his dark pocket, a hundred gold marks bill was destroyed.

"The local fleet of Ice Sea Kingdom has sent an elite assault team to attack your hometown...Their target is your mother...Their mission is to kill your mother and rob your family."

Qiao's awkward smile suddenly froze.

His hand was made of brass, and the large wine glass carved with exquisite patterns was instantly pinched into a ball of slag.

With the sound of "crack", the three-foot square iron-gray marble floor tiles under Qiao's feet were shattered one by one, and the terrifying force crushed the ground. More than a dozen nearby floor tiles were broken into flour-like pieces at the same time.

Standing in the corner of the hall, more than a dozen court knights in charge of security looked at this side at the same time.

Qiao threw away the completely deformed wine glass wreckage, then walked towards Sallyan and his group not far away, who were also enjoying the group dance on the dance floor with steady steps.

A large group of big figures such as Salian, Conrad, and George, the Crown Prince of the Ice Sea Kingdom, were gathering together, whispering something while enjoying the dance.

They all had almost the same formulaic smile on their faces, which everyone could tell, and each of them was in a bad mood...

Joe strides straight for George.

Several court knights quickly leaned towards Qiao.

Qiao was making a big noise, and many people nearby noticed Qiao's abnormality.

The court knights came to Qiao and walked forward a few steps with Qiao, trying to stop him, but they didn't know how to speak.

Salian also noticed Joe's strangeness.

He waved his hand: "Joe, what's wrong? Judging from your face, something is wrong."

Qiao grinned and smiled brightly. He pressed his hands on the heads of the two palace knights and pulled hard to both sides. The two fifth-level court knights staggered back several steps, almost knocking over several old nobles who were also watching the group dance.

"Your Highness, I want to say a few words to His Highness George."

While laughing, Joe grabbed a large glass of fragrant dark beer from the tray in the hand of a passing palace waiter. He raised his glass and took a sip of the beer. At this time, he had already walked to Sallyan and others.

Sallyan, Conrad, George and others could not react. Joe grabbed the wine glass and poured a glass of dark beer on George's face.

A whole liter of dark beer that had just been poured out of the barrel, spilled George's face and made a mess of his upper body's clothes.

There were countless screams of people coming from all around.

The music suddenly stopped.

The dance stopped completely.

Everyone looked here, including ambassadors and diplomats from various countries, and everyone looked here in horror.

George had every time to avoid the beer that Joe had poured over, but for some other reason, he stood there and left Joe to pour the beer on his face.

The dark brown beer made George extremely embarrassed, but his handsome face had a bright smile.

Salian also had enough time and enough strength to stop Joe's movements.

But as soon as Salian raised his right hand, Conrad grabbed his wrist. Even Conrad's palm touched Salian's wrist, making a dull "bang", obviously both of them used great power.

And a group of big men standing beside Sallyan, Conrad, George and others either didn't react or they did. They let Joe do all this without reacting.

Even several of the Derren Empire's naval generals present were even more excited and clenched their fists.

"Ha, perfect." George grinned: "Salian, Conrad, and all the noble gentlemen, the perfect excuse for war... We have found the most perfect, most suitable reason for war to be public."

George smiled extremely brightly. He tilted his head to look at Salian, and said with a smug smile: "Our previous futile argument can be stopped... In this war, all external responsibilities can only be borne by the Derren Empire."

Salian ignored George. He just stared at Joe angrily: "Joe von Weitu... are you crazy? Or do you think you will be arrogant if you make a little contribution to the empire? Are your brain burned by alcohol?"

Salian was so angry that he was trembling all over.

The nobles of the Medland continent adhered to certain ancient and traditional unspoken rules of the nobles.

Just as a war breaks out, the nobles often hope to occupy the moral commanding heights.

All nobles hope that they are the just side of the war and their opponents are the evil faction.

Everyone knows that the Delun Empire will inevitably usher in a war, but the cause and effect of this war, whether it is the abyss battlefield, or the huge amount of military expenditure or supplies, cannot be made public.

An inexplicable war?

You always have to give the people of all countries an open, reasonable and acceptable explanation.

So, who will bear the charge of detonating the war?

This seems very boring and extremely meaningless thing is the issue that Salian, Conrad, George and others have been arguing seriously for more than half an hour.

At this moment, Joe poured a large glass of beer on George.

This seemingly boring dispute was resolved perfectly.

——Because of the rude behavior of Joe von Weitu, Marquis of Lockson under the Derren Empire, the Ice Sea Kingdom joined forces with several other countries to launch a punitive revenge against the Derren Empire.

Because it is just an insulting act against individuals, this cannot lead to a full-scale war.

It can only be a short-term, small-scale, and high-intensity war!

Perfect excuses, causes and consequences, and all details are extremely perfect.

And Qiao's glass of beer pushed himself to the forefront.

But Joe doesn't care about this.

He stared at George, his eyes were red, and he said word by word: "Dull fight, coward... the local fleet of the Ice Sea Kingdom sneaked into Tulun Port, sneak attacked my home... You miscellaneous, fight me!"

Salian's eyes widened.

Conrad's eyes widened.
