Chapter 465, Part 20: The Seven Crimes Conference: 3
Chapter 465 2.0 The Seven Sins Conference: Three
In the midst of their heated exchange, Zhu Yan, suddenly realizing what was happening, looked up and asked in confusion, "About last time?"
Shu Ming casually put down his dessert fork and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. With a friendly and gentle demeanor, he smiled and said with narrowed eyes, "You're probably referring to the incident that the former Lanlos caused at the last meeting."
"Ah~" Ji Qi said exaggeratedly, "The time when the former Lanlos died."
As soon as he finished speaking, a breaking sound was heard. Lanlos looked up and saw Zhu Yan forcefully crush a piece of the stone table, his indifferent expression showing no sign of panic.
"So it was you." Zhu Yan's expression turned cold. He suddenly stood up, put one foot on the edge of the table, leaned forward, and a black scythe appeared in his hand. At this moment, he pointed the sharp blade at Lanlos.
"You even want to kill my people?" His bloodshot eyes were filled with rage, as if he would not give up until he tore Lanlos apart.
“Your Highness!” Agatha warned, raising her voice.
"Don't worry, it's just a small scuffle, nothing serious will happen." Shu Ming squinted and smiled as he watched the scene, gently interrupting Agatha's actions.
Agatha pushed up her glasses, looked at Lanlos whose neck was already bleeding, and her lips twitched slightly. Is this what you call a minor skirmish?
"Who do you think made my original body so broken that it's unusable? If he hadn't interrupted the ritual, would I have needed to borrow a puppet's body?" Lanlos didn't move, but just glanced coldly at Zhu Yan and said indifferently.
With a slight flutter of his platinum eyelashes, Shu Ming slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of eyes as clear as jade. He quietly gazed at the two locked in a stalemate for several seconds, then closed them again, squinting and smiling slightly, the corners of his mouth curving up as if he had thought of something good.
Looking at Shu Ming's expression, Lisda couldn't help but shiver. She rubbed the goosebumps on her arms, feeling that Shu Ming was plotting something bad again.
Outside.
Two young men were slowly walking towards them from a distance. The man in the lead had an extremely delicate and beautiful face, with long, butterfly-wing-like eyelashes and shimmering, star-like purple eyes. His expression was calm, yet he possessed a very special attraction, making one want to look at him and make him cry.
Her long, silver-purple hair cascaded over her shoulders, making her already androgynous face even more unrecognizable, almost transcending the constraints of gender.
He wore a white aristocratic shirt and a light brown plaid vest, with a matching light brown fedora covering his beautiful, tousled hair.
Because of this attire, he managed to avoid many of the probing glances from others, who seemed disappointed that they couldn't really see his face clearly.
Following Adele was Tang Xiu Na, dressed in a dark green noble robe. He was holding a book and had a gentle and approachable expression. His long, dark purple hair was tied back with a black ribbon, and a faint green gemstone earring dangled from his left ear.
A hint of a smile flashed in her beautiful, dark purple eyes when she saw Mu Yegui standing at the door, seemingly eavesdropping. She asked softly, "What are you doing?"
Mu Yegui turned around and saw Adele and Tang Xiuna walking slowly towards her. She put her hand to her pink lips and made a shushing gesture.
Adele paused for a moment, then walked over to Mu Yegui and peered inside. After seeing what was happening inside, she froze, then turned and left without hesitation.
"I remembered I had something to do, so I left first."
Before Adele could take more than a few steps, Don Shuna grabbed her shoulder and forcefully pressed her to the spot.
Adele stiffened as she turned around and saw Tang Shuna looking at her with a gentle smile, asking in a voice even gentler than usual, "Where would Master like to go? Can you tell me?"
Adele shuddered at the voice. Any seemingly kind and gentle person was definitely a schemer, or even a sadist. He was certain that if he gave any perfunctory excuses or refused, that guy, Don Shuna, would do something terrible.
and so……
He'd better just listen to him.
“I suddenly realized that nothing seems to have happened.” Adele swallowed and said with a dry laugh.
Tang Xiuna looked tenderly at Adele's constantly shifting iris-purple eyes and guilty expression, and knew that this girl was lying; she was simply afraid to go in.
He sighed softly and said, "Let's go. It's all in the past. They won't do anything to you." Although this cowardly master's memory was not complete, the subconscious urge to run away at the last minute was something he couldn't change.
"You think you can just let bygones be bygones? That guy Ji Qi clearly has ill intentions towards me. Anyone with eyes can see he wants to kill me. I'm not going to rush off to my death. Isn't it good enough for me to stay in the intelligence agency and collect money?" Adele angrily pulled off her hat, pointed at the slightly closed door, and complained with a frown.
However, the door was opened the next second, and a nightmarish sound came to Adele's ears, causing her to freeze on the ground again.
"Hmph, years have passed, but you've only gotten more timid." Ji Qi stood at the door, staring intently at Adele who was pointing at his chest, and said coldly, "Come in."
Adele was startled by the commanding voice and trembled. When she realized where she was pointing, she quickly withdrew her hand and wiped it on her clothes as if wiping something dirty.
His dark eyes glanced at Adele, who was constantly rubbing her clothes with her fingers. Adele took a step back guiltily and awkwardly lowered her hands, unsure of what to do with them.
Tang Xiuna took a step forward, seemingly unconsciously blocking Ji Qi's path, and said with a gentle smile, "Long time no see, Gluttonous Administrator."
Ji Qi glanced at Tang Xiuna, snapped open the folding fan in his hand, and slowly waved it, saying, "Long time no see, you lustful administrator. Last time you were a novice, but I didn't expect you to become more and more competent in just one year."
"The last meeting?" Mu Yegui suddenly asked from the side, as if there was such a thing.
After Mu Yegui spoke, Ji Qi looked at Mu Yegui, paused for a moment, and smiled, "What are you doing here?"
Mu Yegui said honestly without any hesitation, "I've been at the door for a long time."
Ji Qi: "..." Aren't you really going to consider lying? You're making it hard to continue the conversation like this.
"Speaking of which, I've always been curious why this meeting room is so empty..." There's only a round table and chairs for meetings, nothing else is decorated, and they're not even bothering to put down a tablecloth.
"You should ask Xie Er why he's treating us so poorly, even though we haven't done anything," Ji Qi said resentfully.
Didn't do anything?
The cold, silver eyes were fixed on the round table that had been intact just a few seconds ago, but had shattered into pieces the next.
Indeed, the best course of action against this group of troublemakers is to not assign them any tasks.
