Zeng Lünian was dead, Lê Nam Giệu had a change of heart, and Ren Xiaotang was still in prison. The only person Chan Ka-yin could rely on was Allan. Before she found a new backer, Allan must not fall.
She bit her lower lip, looking worried. "Did your brother say anything?" Allan's brother was the patriarch of the family, and he also attached great importance to Allan.
Allan showed a bitter smile. "My brother is now working hard to negotiate a contract with Duke Johnson, so he doesn't want to do anything to anger him. I can only be wronged for a while."
Chan Ka-yin was somewhat puzzled. "Duke Johnson? Why is he involved in this matter? "
A few days ago, Allan and her popularized the M Country's major financial groups. She was no stranger to Duke Johnson. She knew that although he was not as rich as Smith, the power in his hands could change the situation in the M Country.
Allan was also at a loss, and his tone was a trace of gnashing teeth. "Li Xiao is not only Duke Smith's guest, but also Duke Johnson's guest."
He never would have thought that Li Xiao would actually be related to these two people. Even Lê Nam Giệu might not be able to reach this level. How on earth did she do it? Moreover, Smith and Johnson had always been at odds. They were always kings who did not see each other, but these two attended the banquet at the same time because of Li Xiao. Thinking of this, Allan just wanted to spit out blood.
This was the reason why Chidi had fired him so straightforwardly. Because of this, who knew how many people in the industry were laughing at him behind his back. Allan used to be young and arrogant, and inevitably offended some of his peers. When he was in power, those peers did not dare to say anything. But now that he had lost power, they stepped on him one by one.
In just one night, there were a lot of black drafts about him. Most of them said that he was not worthy of his position, so he was fired by Chidi. Many people also speculated about his next company.
Allan was so angry that his teeth hurt. He wanted to slap them in the face. But unless Chidi begged him to go back, or he could be hired by a company not inferior to Chidi, he was doomed to be frustrated for a while.
He was in no mood to appease Chan Ka-yin since his career had failed.
Chan Ka-yin originally wanted to talk about his nightmares, but now he didn't want to add to his worries. She was a little upset. She and Chien Fei could not rely on Alan for their future.
She took a deep breath and said softly, "Ellen, you're so talented. If you weren't framed by a villain, you wouldn't be like this. I believe that the two archdukes aren't people who don't know right from wrong. I'll explain it to him properly and we'll definitely be able to resolve the misunderstanding. "
She paused for a moment and revealed an expression of self-blame and guilt. "It's all my fault. I've implicated you. Li Xiao must have slandered the two dukes because he wanted to take revenge on me. "
"You've already helped me so much. I can't continue to implicate you."
Alan, who was originally upset, heard her gentle and considerate words and his expression eased. "It has nothing to do with you. It's Li Xiao who's narrow-minded. I didn't expect her to be as vicious as her mother at such a young age."
Chan Ka-yin continued, "So I'm going to find Grand Duke Smith and explain it to him. Even if he wants to help Li Xiao take revenge on me, he can just come at me. Why should he treat you like this?"
Alan looked hesitant. Grand Duke Smith's character was unpredictable. It was said that he had killed someone before. It would be bad if something happened to Jiayin.
Chan Ka-yin held his hand. "Don't worry about me. He's a celebrity after all. He definitely won't make things difficult for a woman like me."
Alan vaguely remembered some rumors about Smith. He hesitated for a moment and said, "I've heard some things about the two archdukes. It's said that they're vampires with long lives and unchanging appearances, so you'd better not look for him. It won't be good if something happens." He also heard his brother mention it to someone, so he wasn't very sure. His brother had accidentally met Smith when he was young. At that time, Smith had already looked like this.
Chan Ka-yin's eyes flashed, and her tone became gentler. "I understand."
****
Li Xiao and Chang Bat complained, "I feel like I've been used."
Well, she had basically been in the manor for the past few days. She had been very good at practicing on the vampires. Duke Johnson had said it quite nicely. He had said that he needed to let the young vampires understand that there was always someone better than them. Therefore, he had asked Li Xiao to help train the young vampires, so that they wouldn't be arrogant and think that they were invincible.
Li Xiao saw that he had helped her, so she stayed. On the other hand, she wanted to study the bloodline abilities of the vampires better.
Basically, even if there were a hundred vampires below the count rank, she could beat them up like chopping vegetables without any difficulty. Towards the end, the vampires who looked extraordinarily handsome would run away as fast as they could when they saw Li Xiao. They weren't as attentive as they were at the beginning. They were all scared of being beaten up.
After all, Li Xiao's Five Thunders Technique was too painful for the bats. They were often beaten until their heads and faces were covered in dirt, and they began to doubt their lives.
After Li Xiao had beaten up the vampires for a few days, Duke Johnson had successfully implemented the policy that had been blocked by the other vampires. In the past, the vampires had followed Duke Johnson's orders and wouldn't kill people for no reason. However, they would directly attack any prey that they had set their eyes on without any fear. Now, they had to first obtain the other party's consent. However, after sucking blood, the vampires would use their bloodline abilities to make the ordinary humans forget about this matter.
The vampire Louis that Li Xiao had met before had run to China because he felt that M Country was too restrictive, and he couldn't enjoy himself to the fullest.
After she heard that Duke Johnson's policy had successfully obtained the approval of the other vampires' grand dukes, she felt that this grand duke was more or less relying on her power and was suspected of using her.
Chang Bat smiled. "But this policy is indeed more friendly to ordinary people."
Grand dukes like Duke Johnson could use their bloodline to suppress the descendants of their subordinates. Therefore, once the policy was approved by the other grand dukes, the vampires under them would have no choice but to obey the rules because of the suppression of their bloodlines.
Li Xiao nodded. Although she complained, her actions were quite cooperative.
When she returned to her room, she saw that her mother wasn't there. She asked the sparrow spirit and found out that Xu Manqin had been invited to participate in a fashion week event.
The sparrow spirit herself was writing an outline. Li Xiao glanced at her outline with a subtle expression. "Didn't you say that you wanted to write a strong woman story about running away with a ball in the next book?"
Why did she see that there were many vampires in the outline?
The sparrow spirit spoke with conviction. "Yes, I decided to set my male lead as a vampire." It just so happened that she had dealt with a lot of vampires in the past few days. A few of them liked to date human girls, so they had a lot of material on them.
Li Xiao couldn't understand. Although most vampires had good looks and were indeed very attractive, most vampires viewed humans as food. However, most of the Blood Breeds viewed humans as food. It was extremely difficult to expect them to fall in love with food and abandon their identity for humans. However, it was normal for novels to be a little exaggerated. No, it couldn't be said like that. The same blood could breed a hundred different kinds of vampires. Maybe one of them would become a saint of love.
Li Xiao watched the sparrow spirit writing at a rapid speed. Her gaze suddenly fell on a small, negligible pinhole on the sparrow spirit's neck. Her expression became dangerous. "What's with the pinhole on your neck? Did that little bastard suck your blood? "
She had the intention of using the Five Thunder Technique to bombard that little bastard a hundred times! Little bastard, she hadn't even cooked her pet yet, and it was already taken by someone else.
"Ah." The sparrow spirit looked up blankly and reacted. "No, I drew my own blood for them."
She lowered her voice. "They said that my blood was delicious and was the best of the best, so they wanted to try it. So I sold it to them! "
She puffed out her flat chest proudly. "A small cup was sold for a million." Although her income from writing novels was good, she only earned about that amount after working hard for a few months. Losing a little blood was nothing to the sparrow spirit, so she shamelessly agreed to it. However, it was drawn with a needle.
Li Xiao: "…"
She couldn't help but be speechless. She was quite business-minded. She actually sold her own blood, and there were really vampires who bought it? Were all vampires so rich?
Li Xiao couldn't help but fall into deep thought. If a cup of the sparrow spirit's blood could be sold for a million, then could hers be sold for a higher price? Oh no, she was really tempted. What should she do?
Stop! She couldn't think about it anymore!
How could she give in for a mere one million! En, unless the price was a hundred million per cup, then she could still consider it. She was very principled, completely different from the sparrow spirit.
***
Grand Duke Smith left the manor of his old rival with a somewhat gloomy expression.
He had made many preparations today, but in the end, he was once again defeated by Li Xiao. Damn it, this human's strength was too strong. How did she do it? Originally, he thought that if he could win again, he might be able to get a little blood from her to taste. Now that he had lost so miserably, he didn't have the face to ask for more.
"Mister Smith."
An unfamiliar female voice entered his ears. Smith raised his head and saw a human girl running over. When she was close to him, her body was a little unstable. She staggered and fell to the ground. She looked up, revealing a pale face.
Smith frowned. This girl looked like an Asian. Her facial features were too plain for him, so he didn't have any impression of her.
The people beside him recognized that she was Chan Ka-yin and whispered to Smith.
Chan Ka-yin's fall caused her hands and feet to brush against the floor, scraping her skin. Although it was very painful, she still stood up. Her posture looked weak but strong.
"Mister Smith, please let Alan go. He is really talented. Do you want to watch a genius die because of suppression? Li Xiao is using you. She just wants to use you for revenge. Noble people like you shouldn't be her tool. "She spoke righteously, her expression sorrowful and stern.
Smith was too lazy to listen to her words. His tone turned cold. "You're bleeding?"
Chan Ka-yin was stunned for a moment. She remembered what Alan had said to her. Could it be that this Grand Duke was really the vampire in the novel? Otherwise, he would have noticed that she had only scraped her skin.
She took a step forward, revealing her slender neck. "I'm willing to be your blood bag, as long as you're willing to let Alan go. He's innocent."
Smith's face immediately darkened. He covered his nose. "Throw her away."
Such a stinky blood, was she trying to kill him? She even wanted him to drink it? He wasn't a garbage collector who would drink any random blood. He was a fastidious and tasteful aristocrat!
