Crossover: Is this how it's sewn?

Chapter 65, Section 063: Elizabeth Laurent

After explaining the whole story and understanding the other party's wishes, Xu Zhenqing realized that this Blood Orchid was somewhat similar to the rare flower from Anaconda.

Being used as a pawn is not in Xu Zhenqing's nature. He just happens to have an idea about soul weapons that he can test out, and it remains to be seen whether the other party will take the bait.

Blood orchids can stimulate the potential of life and are indeed precious plants, but they are by no means necessities; there are many other things that can replace them.

Even if the president of the Order of the Phoenix takes it, it doesn't matter. The whole of America is already in our hands; it's just a matter of moving from one hand to the other.

Xu Zhenqing, who claimed to have come specifically to mediate the dispute between the two sides, arrived in Borneo with Da Yu and Xia Mi in a fighter jet.

"Mr. Chairman, please come in." The beautiful maid who came to greet us gestured for us to enter.

"Hmm." Xu Zhenqing walked straight into the reception room, her calm eyes sweeping over Luo Lang, who was sitting somewhat uneasy in the corner.

"Mr. Xu, please take a seat."

"Dragon King!"

The elders of the Secret Society were on high alert, their golden eyes suddenly gleaming as they exclaimed in alarm.

"Why did Mr. Xu bring a Dragon King here?" The representative of the Gattuso family looked at Xia Mi, or rather, Jormungandr, with an unfriendly expression.

"What, are you not welcome?"

"This King of the Earth and Mountains is our sworn enemy. It's one thing for him to come to China, but he dares to come to the Secret Society. He's really bold."

Both sides were talking past each other. Xu Zhenqing was getting impatient, and a slight ripple appeared in his eyes, as if an invisible weight was pressing down on the other party.

With a "thump," the Camarilla elders and the Camarilla agents who had barged in fell to the ground, a chilling aura of death enveloping the reception room.

"How dare you defy the world and protect the Dragon King who slaughtered humans, Mr. Xu!"

"The King of Earth and Mountains once transformed into the Scourge of God, slaughtering countless people. He harbors a deep hatred for us humans. We must not be misled by him and lose our minds, Chairman Xu!"

Xia Mi gently bit her lip, looking at Xu Zhenqing. The two of them were ultimately different. What decision would the other make?

Without even glancing at these old fogies, Xu Zhenqing extended his left hand to Luo Lang, who coughed up blood and gave a bitter laugh, saying, "Thank you for your trouble."

"Do you know Angers?"

"Yes."

Blood slowly trickled down Laurent's beautiful face, yet he still gave a pitiful reply.

"So, Miss Laurent, do you think the King of the Earth and Mountains is the enemy of humankind?"

"Of course not."

Laurent slowly closed his eyes and said in a weak voice.

Such an exceptionally beautiful girl lay on the ground, her eyes pleading with Xu Zhenqing.

The two were so close that even the smell of blood couldn't mask the girl's perfume, a rare fragrance that seemed to be a blend of floral, musky, and other notes.

However, Xu Zhenqing felt that the burnt smell of the fire-type hybrid spirit next to him was even more delicious, and perhaps he could study the dragon blood biological breeding technology.

Walking to Xu Zhenqing's side, Da Yu pulled Luo Lang up with some pity. The person who had just extended his left hand only made a symbolic gesture in front of the other party.

Are you alright?

"I'm fine. Mixed-race people are physically strong, I won't die."

Laurent looked miserable. He never expected that after taking over as the head of the Laurent family, everything would go wrong. He was suppressed by the elders in the family, suppressed by Gattuso in the secret society, and now suppressed by Xu Zhenqing. How could the word "misery" describe it?

She hated her own powerlessness. She was originally a carefree girl in an ivory tower, but under pressure from all sides, she was unprepared to break into the world of mixed races.

She didn't seem like the head of the Laurent family; she was more like an innocent young girl, looked down upon by others.

If others were to look at Elizabeth Laurent, she would probably be considered one of the luckiest people, born with nobility.

The Laurent family is one of the world's largest mixed-race families and is also a member of the Secret Society's Elders Council.

This family is also famous for its beautiful offspring.

As is well known, as a hybrid race, the dragon race's genes are improved, and most hybrids have outstanding appearances. In such a group where everyone is handsome or beautiful, Laurent's beauty still stands out from the crowd.

True to the French way, a young and beautiful girl was supporting everything. The immense pressure almost crushed this slender young woman, making it hard for her to breathe, like a delicate begonia flower being broken.

"Perhaps death is a kind of relief, but I'm sorry, my mother, your daughter will have to come to see you sooner than expected."

"You still have a dead mother, but I don't even have a mother."

Watching a beautiful flower wither, the dragon's unique indifference made her heart as calm as a cold pool.

The latest novel is first published here!

Xia Mi even spoke in a soft voice with a slightly sarcastic tone.

With a slight furrow in her beautiful brows, Da Yu pulled Xia Mi aside and whispered near the other's jade cicada earring, "Wouldn't this be considered a form of chivalry?"

The jade cicada is a type of funerary object. The deceased would put it in their mouth in the hope of ascending to heaven, being reborn, and becoming immortal. It is considered an antique from the Republic of China era. Its owner died in the gunfire of the Japanese before he could use it. After some time, it came into Alicia's hands, who said it was a gift for Xia Mi.

At the time, Xu Zhenqing was unsure whether this meaning was good or bad for the Dragon King, since the Dragon King was constantly being reborn.

This thing is also a magical artifact, so I might as well take advantage of Xia Mi's visit to America and just hand it over to her.

Xia Mi didn't care what the other party meant. Anyway, she was the one who took the first blood. She thought that a mere foreign little girl, guarding her food without opening her mouth, couldn't cause much of a stir.

It's important to know that when it comes to controlling force, there are few beings in the entire world who can rival Jormungandr, the king of the earth and mountains.

Looking at Da Yu, Xia Mi felt that she had completely crushed everyone in the atmosphere. The only pity was that Xu Zhenqing was too young and mature for his age.

"Look at Patriarch Laurent, how righteous he is! And look at your old faces, how dare you show yourselves in public?"

"Remnants of the old era, the new era no longer has a ship to carry you."

With a mocking tone, Xu Zhenqing sat on the long-backed chair, crossed his legs, and began to trim his perfectly long nails.

After wearing out several nail clippers, Xu Zhenqing tossed aside a thick black book containing only a picture of a mermaid; the rest of the pages were blank.

The three filed out, and Xia Mi made a throat-slitting gesture, but Da Yu stopped her with a look.

Laurent dragged his bloodied body to the book, and the moment he touched it, a memory flooded his mind: the Book of Blood Pacts, which could command the characters sealed within its pages, allowing the book's owner to simultaneously unleash the other's abilities and enhance their bloodline.

A melodious and pleasant singing voice rang out, seemingly accompanied by a conch shell. The lingering notes echoed around the pillar, like large and small jade beads falling onto a jade plate.

Laurent felt his hazy mind begin to clear. Why didn't the other party kill him but instead left behind such a magical artifact?

Having figured out some tricks, a ruthless glint flashed in Laurent's bloodshot eyes. He killed one hybrid with a single slash and added them all to the book.
