Ring

Chapter 23

The air twisted and shook, and then a man's shadow emerged.The slender body is wrapped in a dark windbreaker, and the edge of the leather belt is decorated with some silver tassels.The low-key color can't hide the shining brilliance.At the same time, metal ornaments adorned his boots, collar, and chest, and the brim of his black-brown hat was slightly sewed with black gauze-like decorations.The ten fingers holding the black cane are wrapped in thin gloves. The ten fingers are slender and slender, dressed like an elegant nobleman in the middle ages.

The man raised the brim of his hat, revealing a handsome but pale face: "You really deserve to be Flanders. Even with your power sealed away, your perception is still so keen."

Edgar's gaze moved from the brim of his hat to the other's face.It is impossible for Rice to walk openly on the street wearing this too conspicuous and different clothes.

"You just came out of the blood clan's territory?"

"The chief executive is getting stricter." Rice shrugged his shoulders in a rather helpless tone, "Since you left, I, Emily, Cecilia... the few of us who have a good relationship with you People are all under surveillance, so I haven't had the chance to visit you for so many years. Until not long ago, the Vatican had a new pope, and the Holy See became lively again. The five major families are all waiting for you, so I don't know. There is a chance to come out and find you."

"..." Edgar sighed, "I made you suffer."

"It's okay!" Rice patted him lightly on the shoulder, "But the Holy See is about to stop, and the attention of the chief executive is coming back, so I can only teleport over from the family to report to you ——The chief steward is about to start searching Europe and North America. You...really don't plan to leave here quickly?"

"If I leave, what will happen to Westnet? This has been my painstaking effort for several years."

Rice was almost pissed off by him, "Is the company more important or your life more important?! If you are caught back to the bloodline, they may coerce you to give up the Bathory bloodline, and then torture you to death!"

Edgar smiled calmly: "I don't care about money, let alone the interests of the company. But I can't leave."

"Why—?! Is it for that oriental man? You can take him with you! Isn't he a Chinese? You go back to China with him! That country doesn't believe in God, and there aren't so many hateful priests and bishops , and it is very difficult for the blood race to go to Asia to trouble you!"

"I can't go."

Edgar closed his eyes, and the appearance of the man who had just left appeared in front of his eyes.The steps are steady, the posture is calm, and the brows are full of smiles that are determined to win.Now Wei Shenzhi is already a successful entrepreneur, and has the ability to go back to the head office to challenge and take Inspur back into his hands.It's just that he still needs time to hone his skills and time to help him accumulate wealth.

However, he never forgot that Wei Shenzhi's original intention was revenge.

He hates Wei Tianci.Edgar didn't know the specific reason.

"China... is not a safe place for him now. He doesn't have enough capital to go back to China and fight with his family. What's more, if he leaves in such a haste, not only me, but all his efforts It's all in vain." Edgar's voice became lower and lower, and finally there was a sigh.

"...In short, I can't stand on his way forward and become a stumbling block for him. I can't lead him to escape the blood race until the day his life ends. In that case, he can't become what he expected nor can he take revenge on the one he hates."

However, Rice suddenly froze.The tone and tone of the brown-haired man coincided with that of the woman who stood in front of the fire 70 years ago.He thought that everyone who witnessed that scene would never forget Victoria's calm demeanor.Amidst the sound of burning flames, Victoria caressed her slightly raised belly and sighed leisurely.

'Victoria will not stand in her lover's way. '

He was chosen by Victoria.

"Do you know? I suddenly realized that I wasn't surprised by your answer at all."

"thank you for understanding."

Rice snapped his fingers, and a long and narrow wooden box emerged from the void, hovering between the two of them.The box was made of unknown wood, but it was pitch black.Surrounding the sharp edges and corners are carved rose vines, beautiful and attractive flowers and thorny vines entangled together, like a witch's seductive smile, wanton and bewitching.On the top of the box cover, there is a pattern of a hexagram engraved on a wedge, which is a symbol of mocking the sky when Lucifer betrayed God and became self-reliant.In addition, seven gemstones of different colors are intricately distributed, symbolizing the seven original sins of human beings... However, what is most difficult to ignore is the faint coercion emanating from that thing.

The brown-haired man's pupils shrank suddenly.He was no stranger to this wooden box, but after Victoria's death, he threw the contents together with the wooden box into the holy flame of the Holy See.how come……

"You remember that nun named Catherine?—she was a good person, and she dug this out of the fire and gave it to me. If you're not going to run for your life, you'll need it. All your powers are sealed away. Now, if you don't have a weapon in hand, how can you... protect that Oriental?"

"..."

Edgar seemed to be dazed for a while before murmuring: "Thank you..."

"You can go and thank Catherine—but she is probably dead already." Rice waved his hand, "I should go too. If I run away for too long, the chief executive will be suspicious."

"be careful."

…………

Facts have proved that Wei Shenzhi's work efficiency is indeed quite high, and Westnet received a call from Mars on Wednesday afternoon.I don't know what method Wei Shenzhi used, but the other party's attitude has indeed softened a lot.If Edgar didn't know Wei Shenzhi well enough—with his personality, he would never make compromises or do anything against the law for the sake of the Western Open—he really thought that Wei Shenzhi had signed something wrong with mars behind his back. treaty of equality.

The other party was not the CEO, and he didn't need to go over to meddle, so he sent the omnipotent secretary to be the spokesperson of the Western Network—just like a year ago, he sent her to negotiate with Inspur.In fact, that time, he didn't have to appear on the stage at all, but he had to show up because the other party's participants were all members of the board of directors.However, if he hadn't shown up that time, would he still have so many interactions with Wei Shenzhi?

Wei Shenzhi claimed that he was very busy and had to "run errands" for him, but the position of president of the Western Open was not easy to take.Originally, he was a little troubled by the news that Rice brought, but the pile of work immediately paralyzed his nerves, drowned his doubts, and temporarily separated him from reality for a while, not facing the imminent danger and extremely serious topics .

However, when the day's work is done, these thoughts come to mind involuntarily, almost making people toss and turn.Wei Shenzhi is an ordinary human being, but because of his love for him, he forcibly dragged him into his own world.For the Bathory family, his bloodline is worth coveting, but for other families, Edgar Bathory is a shameful traitor who betrayed Satan.

In this case, Wei Shenzhi's situation became quite dangerous.Edgar could imagine that once he was discovered, Wei Shenzhi would definitely be implicated.Although the blood race once vowed not to involve innocent humans in their struggles, the word innocence...is really hard to define...

Just like that, a few more days passed.Although he wasn't so impressionable that he was so disturbed by these things that he couldn't concentrate when he was working;Before he met Wei Shenzhi, he would not have cared about these things.If you can't hide, you can hide. If you really can't hide, then you will be captured and killed. Maybe you can see Victoria in hell...

But now he obviously can't live so chicly.He found with some guilt that if Wei Shenzhi received unnecessary threats because of himself, it would be better to torture himself directly.

At the beginning, I was greedy for his warmth and fell in love with him, and I selfishly dragged him into an abnormal world.Although Wei Shenzhi also likes him, as the last descendant of the Bathory family, he is always too dangerous.

Edgar passed some more days in considerable distress.Wei Shenzhi has been busy releasing another product these days, and only has time to make a few phone calls to himself between exhibitions.Edgar originally wanted to take this opportunity to tell him everything, but the faint tiredness in the other party's voice and the surprise when he heard his own voice always made him do not know where to bring up these annoying topics.

Edgar hid his negative emotions very well, but who is Wei Shenzhi?He was taught by words and deeds from the president of the Western Network, and after spending so long with him, he soon realized that the other party was not in the right mood, so he asked directly.

Edgar really didn't know where to start.If everything is to be understood, it has to be a very long story, going back to before 1940.

One party didn't know where to start, and the other party could only worry about it, so a few more days passed.When the police were arresting the people who leaked the Western Network contract to the Emerald Trust, the omnipotent secretary Lorraine came to his desk and leaned over and said:

"Boss, Manager Wei is here."
