Chapter 57

The fiery sun lit up the golden land. The golden gravel reflected the bright sunlight, as if the whole land was shining.

The huge city standing above the desert was already very lively at this moment. From early morning to evening, there were landing ships constantly flying from the sky to land in the city, almost without stopping.

This day was the birthday banquet of Marquis Mia, the owner of this planet and the ruler of the entire Mia galaxy, and countless people gathered from all over the universe to this city, either from being invited or those taking the initiative to please the old Marquis.

On the top floor of the largest and tallest minaret in the city, the luxurious banquet hall had long been opened.

The birthday banquet had not yet begun. The men and women in exquisite dresses walked and talked with each other in the banquet hall, waiting for the start of the birthday banquet.

The old Marquis Mia, as the host, had not yet appeared, and his only successor, Beiat Mia, was standing at the door of the banquet hall, politely welcoming every guest who came.

With a reserved and decent smile on his handsome face, he behaved calmly and politely, his every move was made with noble elegance, practically perfect.

However, at the next moment, his flawless smile was cracked for an instant.

Someone came straight to him.

The ascetic military uniform with black background and silver stripes wrapped the man’s long body. On the black collar, golden tassels were tied to the buckle.

The jet black boots stepped on the floor forcefully, the young major general stepped forward, and the white cloak drew a soft arc as he moved forward.

The dark black hair was like lustrous velvet. Under the hair, was a good-looking face with refined eyebrows and picturesque beauty that was truly intriguing.

The major general who stepped forward exuded an invisible yet pressing force.

He was like a cluster of scorching icy blue flames, as long as he appeared, it would take everyone’s eyes away.

The crack was only for an instant, and Beiat quickly returned to normal.

Pressing down the darkness in his eyes, he took the initiative to greet him and smiled politely at Taylor.

“Major General Taylor, you suddenly left Mia Star last night, I thought it was because we didn’t treat you well.”

He smiled and said, there was something in his words, secretly accusing Taylor of being too impolite, as the guest leaving without saying a word.

“Well.”

Major General Taylor replied, speaking lightly.

“It’s true that the hospitality was not good.”

“. . .”

The smile on Beiat’s face twitched, and he was choked for a moment to speak.

“I’m really sorry about that,” swallowing a breath, he tried his best to keep the proper smile on his face, “I hope you can have a good time tonight.”

Major General Taylor still gave a faint hum.

Beiat stared at him, with a gloomy look in his eyes, and he tried to figure out how to find a way to keep this person on Mia forever.

The young major general suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at him.

A bit of cold light in the dark blue pupils was inexplicably shocking to the extreme.

After taking a look at Beiat, he said nothing, and went straight past Beiat into the banquet hall.

Beiat stood there. He didn’t move. He didn’t know why he felt cold under the eyes of Taylor.

The moment he looked at him was like those icebergs frozen on the bottom of the sea, he couldn’t move.

. . . That kind of look. . . that kind of terrible feeling that couldn’t be described with words. . .

What kind of look was that?

It didn’t look like the eyes of a human.

. . .

When Major General Taylor entered the hall, a middle-aged man walked beside him.

The middle-aged man also held the rank of major general and, at the same time, he also had the title of Viscount. At this moment, he smiled and talked to Taylor.

“I didn’t expect that you would come to the party.”

He said that, suddenly remembering something.

“No wonder. . . I said that this person never liked this kind of birthday party, why would he suddenly be willing to run all the way here?”

He smiled and looked at Taylor with subtle eyes.

“Taylor, there may be a surprise later.”

The black-haired major general hummed lowly, but his expression obviously didn’t care much.

The middle-aged man laughed and patted him on the shoulder, politely said a few more words, and then went towards other people he knew well.

Taylor stood still and pondered for a moment, and suddenly a hand reached out in front of him.

A beautiful young girl stood in front of him, looking at him with a smile.

“Hello, major general, I am Naya Mia. This is our first meeting.”

From the name, one could already tell this girl was a member of the Mia family.

She looked at Taylor with big eyes, a blush appeared on her cheeks, and water seemed about to drip from her bright eyes.

As she spoke, she took the initiative to stretch her hand out in front of the major general.

Although she had long heard that the major general was indifferent, she had already stretched out his hand in front of him. As a man, and in front of so many people, he should hold her hand and pretend to kiss it symbolically.

The girl thought so in her heart, waiting happily for the major general to hold her hand and bend down, with his thin pale lips printing on the back of her hand.

In full view of the public, the black-haired major general stepped forward.

Without the slightest hesitation, he passed by the girl in front of him.

He turned a blind eye to the hand that had been reached out in front of him.

He didn’t seem to see the person standing in front of him at all, his expression was indifferent, and there was no emotion in his cold dark blue eyes.

Completely disregarding the girl, ready to cry out of the humiliation, behind him.

“As usual, you still don’t know how to love girls, Major General Taylor.”

A soft sigh came from the side.

A woman with long soft golden hair appeared in front of everyone in a gorgeous blue dress. Her beauty was shining under the limelight.

However, her dazzling beauty, when facing the black-haired major general on the opposite side, was immediately suppressed.

She looked at Taylor, her white-skinned arms naturally hung in front of her. Knowing the character of the young major general, she would naturally not do stupid things like reaching out her hand for a kiss.

She just stared at the young major general’s beautiful face with those emerald green eyes that always made her proud, and her eyes were shining.

Taylor’s footsteps stopped and looked at this woman who he could not ignore.

“Her Royal Highness, Princess Salome.”

He said.

. . .

The current emperor of the empire had only one daughter, who he regarded as a treasure.

The princess’s name was Salome.
