Gently turning the wine glass on the table and looking at the red liquid swaying in the glass, Rowan let out a sigh.
"To be honest, I really want to kill you now, because you are so outstanding. If you don't choose to be on our side, you will definitely be a great threat in the future. Alas, I only hope that our dear Bolen
Sir, please don’t let me down too much, otherwise I might really be unable to control the murderous intention in my heart."
Picking up the red wine on the table, Karl took a sip and ignored the threat in Rowan's words.
Seeing this, Rowan smiled and looked at Karl with eyes full of pity.
"You don't really think that I don't dare to take action against you because of those Eastern gods, do you?"
Karl frowned and did not answer him.
Standing up, Rowan slowly walked behind Karl, patted him on the shoulder, sighed and spoke in a very pitiful tone.
"Dear Mr. Carl Bollen, please be sober. Let me ask you, even if I kill you now, will the gods in the East avenge you?"
Shaking his head slightly, Rowan seemed to be sighing for himself, "No, because in their eyes, there is actually no difference between you and me. It's like someone stepped on a bug to death, will you take revenge for the bug?
?”
"No, no one will care about the life or death of the bugs. No matter how good-looking they are, no one will take revenge for them."
With his back to Rowan, Karl smiled faintly, "Not necessarily, because my father is an insect researcher. When I was a child, I accidentally stepped on one of his father's cockroaches and was severely scolded by my father.
.”
Listening to Karl's slightly pointed words, Rowan smiled, "Is that because of those stubborn old guys? You think they will save you at a critical moment, right?" Rowan leaned into Karl's ear.
Next, the voice was extremely fierce, "Do you know? While they are using the holy weapon to plot against us, we are waiting for them! We have been looking for them for decades, and we have been waiting for them for decades. I believe
I, as long as they dare to appear in front of us, let alone a sacred weapon, I will not take a look even if the ancestor is resurrected, I will only seize the time to break the necks of those old things!"
Squeezing Karl's shoulders heavily, Rowan's voice suddenly became heavier.
"Are you still naive? Do you still think you are a chess player? Are you still planning to rely on some kind of balance to compete with us for the sacred artifact? Karl, you have no idea how far we have developed now! This
This time, we don’t just want the sacred artifacts, we want them all! Do you understand them all? Whether it’s the sacred artifacts, those stubborn old things, or you guys, they are all our targets!”
"You think you can rely on this cooking competition to seize one or even two sacred artifacts and make the Camarilla comeback, but you know what? We are also waiting for an opportunity, waiting for someone who can solve all the troubles once and for all.
Chance!"
Rowan slapped Karl's shoulder heavily and put his face next to his, "I am happy for your innocence."
Karl listened to Rowan's words in silence, without comment, and Rowan also took out his own cigarette from his pocket. Well, it was a very popular Tianchao Liqun cigarette. Taking the lighter that Karl handed him, Rowan
Wen lowered his head and lit a cigarette.
"Why do you think you are alive today? Is it because of the blessings of the Eastern Gods? Yes, that's right, I admit that we dare not offend the Eastern Gods, but you have probably also seen the personnel information of the Chinese branch and even the North American branch.
Right? Some of them can make you die quietly in your sleep."
Rowan turned around and walked to the window. The hot sunset shone on him through the window, but he just closed his eyes comfortably and puffed out mist, "Believe me, if we want,
You guys have been dead for a long time, how could you still be alive today and still appear on this occasion and become our opponent? Haha, the wild dogs picked up the antelope residue left by the lions and thought that they were on the same level as them.
Little do the hunters know that lions just don’t like to eat and are too lazy to chew the leftovers.”
"Yes, I want to kill you, but there is someone who doesn't want you to die. You can survive until now, and you even wanted to visit the laboratory in the suburbs last night, all thanks to his protection. Without him
, you became my servant a long time ago."
Rowan crushed the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray by the window.
"Now, I'll give you a chance to know everything. As long as you agree, I will answer everything for you. Of course, from now on you will be one of us. Don't think about going back on your word, because if you just want
Just listen to the information and we will get rid of you immediately. No matter whether he agrees or not, because you are too dangerous."
Carl was silent for a while.
"Which him?"
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Rowan's mouth as he looked at the sunset.
"Haven't you already seen it? Do you still need me to explain it so clearly?"
Karl did not speak, because in his mind, the figure that night in the Chu Group's underground warehouse suddenly appeared.
——————————
"The Chu Group is a good place. Of course, the place before this was really just an ordinary place where we cultivated blood servants. If it hadn't been for the day you arrived in Celestial Dynasty, the people we arranged for the Chu Group told me that you suddenly
You showed up at the Chu Group, and if you think about it, you wouldn't have seen so many things you wanted to see there that night."
Rowan looked at the sunset gradually setting in the distance with a smile.
"Actually, we originally only had two people in the Chu Group, who were responsible for guarding the blood servants hidden under the warehouse. But why did you see six of our people there that night? Haha, that's unfortunate.
Let me tell you, the people from the North American branch and the Chinese branch were temporarily dispatched by me."
Rowan reached out and tapped his forehead gently.
"So, here comes the question, why do I want you to know so much? The moment I learned about the relationship between Chu Zifeng and the Chu Group, shouldn't I have removed all the blood servants? Only leaving
I'll set an ambush for you and tell you that all your whereabouts in China are under my control. Isn't that enough? Why do you need Mr. Bolan to see people from the North American branch and the Chinese branch to know?
The news of the betrayal of the two major branches, and then we followed the clues bit by bit, and even investigated the period when we recovered more than thirty years ago."
"Ah, why, why on earth is this?" Rowan touched his chin, showing a very confused and proud look. Soon, he clapped his hands and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "By the way, it's because
Someone wants to meet you, and he also wants you to understand something for yourself. Alas, you also know that he doesn't like to talk, and he doesn't want to be a traitor in your eyes. He really hopes that you can understand him and then help him."
With his back to Rowan, Karl didn't need to worry about his expression being seen by him, so at this moment, Karl's face showed a gloomy look for the first time.
Every time Rowan said a word, Karl clenched his fists harder and harder, but at the same time, he was also trying his best to control himself and his already chaotic thoughts and emotions.
But Karl's body still couldn't help but tremble, because he felt an icy chill spread throughout his body, because he seemed to see an invisible black hand behind the scenes pushing everything forward!
At this moment, Rowan put a considerate hand on his shoulder and whispered in his ear like a devil.
"You should have seen him that night, right? Didn't the smart Mr. Bolan think about why he did that? Why did he join our side again? Wasn't he the person you admired the most?
?But now even he has chosen to side with us, don’t you want to know why?”
In Rowan's eyes, Carl just sat calmly on the chair. No matter what he said, there was no change at all. He was as stone-like, but Rowan could clearly feel Carl's heartbeat that was gradually accelerating.
With a smile on his lips, Rowan lowered his head, lit another cigarette, and spoke lightly.
"If you agree, I can tell you everything now. Of course, from now on, I won't be able to kill you anymore. Mr. Bolan can think about it carefully."
Rowan leaned against the table and watched Karl's reaction with interest.
Seeing that Karl was still thinking expressionlessly, Rowan lightly snapped his fingers again.
"By the way, let me give you another little reminder. Although I guessed that you would raid the Chu Group and arranged everything for you, to be honest, I couldn't guess the time of your action. After all,
Before that, you were obediently staying in that hotel and never leaving, like a good child who was afraid of being beaten and could only obey and hide, waiting for adults to rescue you."
"Really, good boy."
Karl showed a smile. Perhaps the smile had become some kind of instinct for him and could cover up everything about him.
"But he was the only one who firmly believed that you would go there, and also guessed the time of your action, so you met him that night. As for why he was so convinced? Maybe only you can understand this."
Rowan nodded, "By the way, he said that in addition to reading, you also like to play decryption games, especially the adventurous decryption games. Well, now it seems that this is indeed the case.
.”
Sitting on the chair with his back to Rowan, Karl's magic eyes were dimming little by little.
Because Rowan's words left him no room to refute.
Now he feels like a smart puppet, standing on the stage, cleverly performing his wisdom according to the master's instructions. The puppet still talks about it, thinking that the audience's cheers are for him.
, thinking that he was actually the only one performing, haha...
Smiling bitterly, there was no trace of light in Karl's blue pupils.
Admittedly, he did think about why the demon party did not quickly remove the blood servants after they discovered that the Chu Group was the place where they kept the blood servants. Instead, everything continued as usual, and even added more manpower to the Chu Group. But those
The manpower... didn't seem to be able to defend him and Chu Zifeng.
In fact, that night, Karl didn't feel that he could kill too many blood servants. He was even prepared to make a comeback.
Because he had already sensed the Demon Party and discovered the Blood Servant before that. Even during those three days of escape, the Demon Party intended to ambush them in the Chu Group.
But what surprised him was that the operation that night went smoothly, unimaginably smoothly. The existence of blood servants, the rebellious members of the North American branch and the Chinese branch, and huge discoveries filled his mind, making him ignore it.
That hint of fatal crisis.
But it wasn't until today that he understood that... it turned out that they deliberately wanted to discover it by themselves, deliberately wanted him to see all this, and deliberately let him follow the clues they prepared to explore bit by bit.
Think, and then slowly and slowly fall into their trap.
Because he is also part of the other party's plan, every step he has taken so far has been part of the other party's calculations.
Haha, I'm a fan of the authorities. I didn't expect that I would be part of the other party's plan. The success of the raid on the Chu Group and those major discoveries also made me fall into some kind of thrilling challenge, completely ignoring everything that was hidden.
!
Raising his head slightly, Karl stared at the closed door with complex eyes, his clenched fists unable to open, covered with sweat.
He must be someone who knows me very well. Yes, it’s him, it can only be him, because only he knows me so well, and only he can lay such a trap for me so that I can never get out.
maze, and I would feel proud of myself for solving the little hints he gave me in the maze.
After all, it has been like this since childhood...
He wants me to understand, right? So many people have chosen to betray, so many people have stood against the academy and even the secret party. There must be some reason. He wants me to know that it is because of these reasons that he has to
...
——————————————
After thinking for a long time, Karl pushed up the frames of his sunglasses.
"Since you are here to persuade me, then tell me your conditions."
Rowan stuck a cigarette into the ashtray and left a faint sentence.
"Are you interested in eternal life?" (To be continued)
