Harry walked out of the banquet and rubbed his temples. He had attended several cocktail parties in the past few days, and he was tired after a series of social engagements. When no one was around, he took off his mask and stared blankly at the air to relax his mind.
Things had gone much smoother than he had imagined. Their consortium's TV program had publicized the fact that they had compensated Xu Manqin with a huge sum of money, which had greatly improved the public's impression of them. They had turned this crisis into a turning point for the De Mare family. His phone rang, and he picked it up. It was his brother, Allan.
On the other end of the line, Allan sounded exasperated. "Harry, that Chinese woman ran away!"
Harry came back to his senses and frowned. "Didn't we already bring her here? How could we let her escape?" He was furious. A few days ago, Allan had bought another bottle of ointment from somewhere, and he had asked the company's researchers to test it. After the researchers finished the test, they were full of praise for the ointment and enthusiastically announced that the ointment would revolutionize the skincare industry.
Yesterday, Allan had told him that things were going well, and that the woman had boarded the plane and would arrive in M Country by noon. Now, he was telling him that she had run away?
How could he let a woman who had never left the country and didn't speak the language run away when she was in their territory? How could Allan do this? Harry was so angry that he almost smashed his phone.
"I've already asked someone to check the nearby surveillance cameras, but they couldn't find her. She disappeared into thin air. Do you think someone is helping her? "
When Harry heard this, he was just quibbling. He was so angry that he scolded him directly into the phone and ordered him to find the person within three days. Then, he hung up the phone. His face was still angry, and his chest was heaving.
At this moment, his exclusive luxury car slowly drove up. The door opened and Harry got in. He couldn't suppress his anger. "Why are you so slow today?"
Under normal circumstances, the car would drive up when he had just left the banquet.
The driver's voice was crisp. "I'm sorry, sir. When I drove over, I almost hit a little girl and was delayed. "
Harry asked out of habit, "Is she okay?"
"No. The little girl ran to the middle of the road to pick up the football. "
Speaking of the little girl, Harry remembered something. He called his subordinates to send more goods to the island. Recently, there would be a few new guests going there to relax.
The driver had been by his side for more than ten years. His entire family's lives were in the hands of the De Mare family, so he wasn't worried that the driver would betray them. That was why he made the call in front of him.
As the car moved forward slowly, Harry closed his eyes. But as he drove, he felt that something was wrong. His surroundings seemed to be too quiet, so quiet that it was as if sound had been taken away from his world. He opened his eyes again and looked out of the window, only to see that the outside was shrouded in fog, and he couldn't see the surroundings clearly.
"Where is this place?" When did such a thick fog suddenly appear? The driver didn't even say a word …
He said in a deep voice. His hand reached into his briefcase, and he took out a small and delicate gun.
The driver replied without looking up, "Near Kent Farm."
Kent Farm? What is this place? He clearly wanted to go home!
"Why are you driving this way?"
The driver's voice was strangely cheerful. "Because I want to take you there."
At the same time, the car suddenly sped up. Realizing that something was wrong, Harry climbed into the front passenger seat. To his surprise, the driver didn't stop him at all.
After sitting in the front passenger seat, he mercilessly aimed the gun at the driver's head and pressed it down, ready to be the driver himself.
With a bang, the bullet accurately hit the driver's temple. The recoil made Harry's hand ache, but he wasn't in the mood to care. What happened next left him dumbfounded. The driver's head fell off from his neck. The joint between the head and the neck was so smooth that it looked as if his head had been cut off with a knife.
Harry felt cold all over. The crucifix he wore was shockingly hot. Suddenly, from the corner of his eye, he saw that the fog had dissipated and the railing in front of him was slowly lowering.
Harry hurriedly wanted to hit the brakes. If he rushed over at such a fast speed, the car would crash into the railing along with him!
However, no matter how hard he tried, the car was completely out of his control. It was going faster and faster. He wanted to bend down and dodge the railing, but he found that he couldn't move his body either.
"Hehehe." The girl's laughter drilled into his ears. "Balls! I need a lot of balls! "
"No —"
His screams came to an abrupt end.
*****
Alan sat in the living room in a daze. In just one day, the De Mare family seemed to have been cursed. Accidents happened one after another.
First, his brother, Harry, was in a car accident. The car was cut in half by the railing. When the police arrived at the scene, although they found the body and the wreckage of the car, they couldn't find his head.
Then, his rock-climbing uncle's rope suddenly broke and he fell to his death. It took a lot of effort to find his dismembered body. Only his head was missing.
In one day, six family members died. Every one of them died in a strange way. Their heads mysteriously disappeared. Those who died were all important members of the family. No, it was definitely a curse!
Now, the members of the De Mare family were in a state of panic. No one knew who would die in a strange way next.
He looked around blankly. He wore all the protective items he had, but he still didn't feel safe. He didn't know if he would follow in Harry's footsteps. He didn't want to die, and he didn't want to die so miserably.
The house was too big and too empty. This sense of emptiness deepened the fear in his heart, making him feel that there were ghosts hiding in every corner. Alan quickly turned on the TV and turned the volume to the maximum, but he still felt cold.
The De Mare family was not a small family that could be ignored in the M Country. They were involved in both politics and the business world. With such a big incident, the news was also broadcasting it. Many police officers were investigating the truth. Someone leaked the news, and it was also a hot topic on the Internet. Alan watched a few TV stations talking about the incident. He quickly changed the channel.
"… Here's news. On February 12th, at ten o 'clock in the morning, a private jet flying to Hammer Island crashed. All twelve people on board died. It's known that Senator Mirk was among them … "
Alan stared blankly at the news. The names were so familiar.
He had been with Harry a few days ago and heard him mention that these senators were the ones that Harry had told him to take good care of. And Hammer Island was a playground for those big shots to vent their frustrations.
It was very warm in the house, but he felt his hands and feet cold. His pupils dilated in fear.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that there were many pairs of eyes full of malice looking at him.
He suddenly remembered that the family members who had died in the past few days were all related to the island. His uncle was the owner of the island. His brother was in charge of the island's affairs. Some of the others were in charge of transporting goods, while others were in charge of receiving guests. And because he wasn't usually cautious, he wasn't trusted and had been excluded from this matter. He didn't expect that it would save his life.
It must be revenge! The revenge of the spirits!
He remembered that when his great-grandfather's body was found, it was also headless. So he was even more certain of his guess.
Damn it! Weren't those wraiths trapped in the house? Why did they come out?
Alan paced around like a headless fly. Now the spirits were only taking revenge on those related to Hammer Island. Who knew if they would take revenge on him in the future? He couldn't just sit here and wait. He had to do something.
Alan first went to the church and donated a large sum of money. He received several pieces of silver blessed with holy water. He carried them with him and called his subordinates. "Are the goods ready?"
That's right. The second backer he found for himself was Grand Duke Smith.
In his eyes, as a vampire, Grand Duke Smith must have killed many humans, but he hadn't had any accidents in all these years. It could be inferred that the wraiths were not as powerful as him. So as long as he could seek his protection, he didn't need to fear the wraiths' revenge.
And …
Now that the important members of the De Mare family were dying one by one, if this continued, his competitors might all die. At that time, he wouldn't have to do anything to become the patriarch and hold great power. Thinking of this, his original fear and sadness gradually faded away, replaced by a growing ambition. Relying on his brother's protection was, of course, not as good as being the master himself.
As soon as he got busy, his original fear faded a lot.
On February 16th, Alan turned down all his appointments. The gifts he had carefully collected were ready. And he had already told Grand Duke Smith a few days ago.
He sat in the car, followed by three cars, all of which were young, pure, and beautiful girls. They had been injected with drugs in advance and were all sleeping soundly.
There was no lack of Asian women among them. He tried his best to collect beautiful types like Li Xiao.
When they arrived at Smith's manor, night fell. The dark night was the best cover. After getting out of the car, the cages were covered with black cloth, making it impossible to guess what was inside from the outside.
Andrew, the young vampire who came to greet Alan, moved his nose slightly. Even if he didn't have X-ray vision, he could guess this so-called gift.
Well, there were a total of 27 different auras, young and sweet.
He glanced at Alan, still with the spring equinox smile on his face.
Although Alan had come back last time, he was thrown out by Li Xiao in embarrassment. No matter how beautiful and exquisite the manor was, it still left some psychological trauma. He adjusted his tie and calmed himself down with this action. When he saw Grand Duke Smith, he knelt on one knee, his attitude pious and humble. "Your Highness, I am willing to be your servant."
"Please let me present this gift to you."
Smith looked at the big cages and frowned slightly. He knew what this so-called gift was just by smelling it. If it was in the past, he would definitely choose to accept some of the human offerings. But now, he was learning a cultivation method from Chang Fu. It was said that after cultivation, he didn't need to use the method of sucking blood to increase his strength.
Was he trying to destroy his cultivation by sending this gift over at this time?
Seeing that there was no follow-up, Alan personally removed the cloth, revealing the young girls in the cages.
"Don't worry, I have already dealt with what needs to be dealt with. Their disappearance won't implicate you. They are clean and sweet, you will definitely like them. "
Smith's face turned cold. He originally wanted Alan and his so-called gift to get out, but he suddenly thought of something and said coldly, "Get out."
Although Alan didn't know why he pulled his face, he felt that he couldn't breathe under Grand Duke Smith's imposing manner. He didn't dare to disobey his orders, so he could only leave first. When he left, he was a little uncertain. Could this gift really make Grand Duke Smith like it? Should he go and find more? Grand Duke Johnson should send some over as well.
After he left, Smith called Li Xiao and asked her to come over. He roughly mentioned that Alan had sent many girls over.
In just a few minutes, he felt that there seemed to be some fluctuations in the surrounding air. The next second, Li Xiao's figure appeared out of thin air. She seemed to have crossed the distance of space and directly arrived here.
Grand Duke Smith: "!!!!"
Li Xiao didn't care about the shocked Grand Duke Smith. She looked at the girls in the cages with a sullen face and said in a cold voice, "Call the police!"
Grand Duke Smith's eyelids twitched. "What?"
Li Xiao said in a matter-of-fact tone, "I think there is a high probability that this is a large-scale international trafficking incident. Of course, we have to call the police!"
