In Town Moling, Chen Rui saw Kanita with a solemn face.
"Kanita, my friend, we meet again."
Now Chen Rui and Kanita were quite familiar with each other, so the address was more casual. However, Kanita did not know that the term "Charles" as a friend was also commonly used for his sworn enemy brother.
"In addition to the first five million, I brought you the third rebate of the first investment, which is a total of nine million black crystal coins. By the way, you don't look very good. Why aren't you happy? "
"Sir Charles is really a trustworthy friend." Kanita's eyes lit up when he heard the number of nine million black crystal coins. After accepting the huge sum of money, his expression returned to solemnity, "There is a very bad thing. The cooperation between us was reported to the capital. Now the capital has sent an envoy to investigate this matter. He has arrived at the Red Spirit City 4 days ago."
"An envoy came from the capital? Who snitched on him? The cooperation between us should be very secretive. Did the people around you leak the news? "
"Even among the people around me, only a few know about this. Besides, it can't be them." Kanita gritted his teeth, "Although there is no evidence, I have identified the biggest suspect! It must be that guy! "
Chen Rui frowned, but he gave Joseph a thumbs up in his heart. Not bad, he acted faster than expected. This scene finally reached the most critical part.
"I don't care what grudges you have with anyone, but I'm disappointed in this. In my plan, you and your father are long-term partners. Now it is just the beginning, and I already encountered this kind of thing. It seems that I need to consider changing partners. "
Kanita quickly explained, "Sir Charles, please don't misunderstand. In any case, as long as sir is willing, our cooperation will definitely be closer. It will never change because of this matter. Now, please follow me to the Red Spirit City to meet the sir envoy. "
"Meet the envoy?" Chen Rui showed obvious vigilance.
"My father asked me to tell sir that you can just tell the truth to the envoy. In fact, this matter is beneficial to sir's plan, but most of the interests of our Red Spirit Estate may shift to the capital. By then, I hope sir can sign an additional cooperation plan with the Red Spirit Estate."
Chen Rui pondered for a while and then asked, "I need you to provide me with information about this special envoy of the capital, especially his strength level. You know, it's better to be safe than sorry."
Kanita nodded in understanding, "This envoy is the empire's financial advisor, Mrs. Isabella, who is known as the Devil's Snare Flower. This lady was resourceful and skillful. She was deeply trusted by His Royal Highness the Prince Regent. It was said that she controlled the real financial power, and even the finance minister had to listen to her commands. As for strength … it shouldn't surpass my father. "
The capital's envoy is actually Isabella! Chen Rui was a little surprised. He had personally experienced the viciousness of this woman. If it weren't for his strange power, he would have been harmed by this woman's voodoo. Not only that, Isabella's appearance was almost exactly the same as Sabrina, who was killed by him. It was likely that she was also related to that secret force.
Lomont had set off for the capital a few months ago. His goal was exactly this Mrs. Isabella because this woman was likely to be his aunt. Most importantly, she knew the whereabouts of the Belphegor Royal Family's artifact, Breeze Shadow Boots.
It was just that when he returned to the Dark Moon this time, he learned from Delia that Lomont had been out of contact for a long time, and she didn't know what happened. Chen Rui knew Delia's worries, so he took this opportunity to investigate.
Chen Rui thought for a moment and asked despite knowing the answer, "A person's nickname can often reveal a lot of things. What is Devil's Snare Flower?"
"Devil's Snare is a unique poisonous flower of the Demon Realm. It looks delicate, but it contains terrifying toxins. After it is made into a certain potion, it can make people addicted and unable to extricate themselves. This lady's appearance is beautiful … "Kanita recalled the scene of seeing Isabella 4 days ago, and he was slightly absent-minded." However, her previous husbands don't seem to live long. She is still a widow now. "
"Since she is called Devil's Snare, then this woman must be a ruthless character. No wonder I didn't see Samuel. He should have been taken to the Red Spirit City as a hostage, hmph!"
Kanita didn't expect the other party's judgment to be so accurate, and he was speechless for a while, "I have tried my best for Sir Samuel's matter, but I can guarantee his safety …"
"You are not qualified to make this guarantee, but … it's not your fault." Chen Rui sneered, "Let's go. Let me meet this Demon Realm's poisonous flower."
Kanita didn't dare to neglect, and he hurriedly rushed to the Red Spirit City with Chen Rui.
Red Spirit City, City Lord's Mansion.
Chen Rui saw the Devil's Snare Flower again. She still had the same charming appearance with long brown curly hair, blue eyes and purple lips. Her whole body exuded a mature and beautiful charm. In terms of beauty and temperament, even Sabrina, who looked like her, was a bit inferior.
However, Sabrina had died in Chen Rui's hands. Even if Isabella was more beautiful, for Chen Rui, there was only more vigilance.
"Sir Josh." Chen Rui saluted slightly, "I came this time to bring part of the benefits you should get as promised, but I want to meet my brother Samuel first. As a partner who has signed an equal contract, I am puzzled and regretful about sir's behavior. This will directly affect the sincerity of our future cooperation. "
"This must be Sir Charles." Before Josh could answer, Isabella on the side said, "I think sir has misunderstood about Samuel."
"This must be the sir envoy that Kanita mentioned." Chen Rui's eyes lit up, and a pure destructive breath exuded. The air began to be filled with this terrifying breath of violence and heat.
Josh was secretly shocked. When I first fought with this human, the other party only defended and did not attack, but I can already faintly feel the pure destructive power. Now "Charles"'s murderous aura is exposed. Judging from the terrifying degree of this breath, the true strength of the human is still above my expectation …
Facing the terrifying destructive breath, Isabella's eyes flashed, but her expression remained unchanged. Instead, she showed a moving smile, "I heard about the deeds of Sir Charles from Sir Josh. If … sir is really such an impulsive and irritable person, then the so-called cooperation plan should also be rediscussed."
"Oh?" Chen Rui gradually converged his momentum and re-evaluated Isabella for a while, "You're indeed the Devil's Snare Flower. You resolved my censure in one sentence."
"It seems that sir has learned some information from Kanita, so Isabella will not introduce herself." Isabella said with a smile, "To be precise, Sir Samuel's current situation is not only not dangerous, but also very good. Because under my hint, he has obtained some important revelations. He may be one step closer to Saint."
Chen Rui nodded calmly, "If Sir Josh and Ms. Isabella will really use this kind of hostage strategy, then I have to reconsider the cooperation."
In [Analytical Eyes], Isabella's comprehensive strength had always been displayed as B +, which was Great Demon King. However, judging from her performance just now and her "guidance" to Samuel, her true strength should be Demon Emperor level which was similar to Sabrina. It seemed that this woman was not easy to deal with whether it was wisdom or strength.
"Sir really doesn't suffer at all." Isabella smiled charmingly, "However, this widow likes your title of 'Ms.' very much. I don't know if it's fate, but I always feel like we've met somewhere? "
"If it's not this special situation, I should say this sentence." Chen Rui was secretly vigilant. The [Eye of Evil] of the Belphegor Royal Family was no trivial matter. Although even Lomont couldn't see through his [True Breath Holding] and [Camouflage], nothing was too strange in the world. Samuel once saw through [True Breath Holding], so he said calmly, "I'm very sorry. As a man, it's very rude to let a beautiful lady like Ms. Isabella take the initiative to say this. "
A strange expression flashed across Isabella's eyes, but she still smiled and said, "Sir Charles is really a very interesting man. It seems that I won't be lonely on the way to the capital together this time."
"Together to the capital?" Chen Rui frowned and looked at Josh, "This doesn't seem to be consistent with our plan."
"That's not my plan." Josh sighed and didn't say much.
"I have heard about Sir Charles' plan from sir lord. The capital's Royal Highness Regent is also quite interested in this. This is the real reason why I'm here." Isabella's tone changed, "Cooperating with an empire is far better than an estate, but the premise is that sir must let the Royal Highness Regent truly approve of this plan. If the Royal Highness Regent, who represents the highest authority of the empire, does not approve, then even if it's just cooperation with an estate of the empire, it will not be approved. "
Chen Rui's eyes gradually became cold, "Can I take miss' words as a threat? Then I also say that the Demon Realm is not only this empire. I heard that the neighboring Shadow Empire to the west of the Fallen Angel Empire is controlled by a powerful sage. I believe I will get better treatment there. "
Josh saw that the words of both sides were gradually stiffening, and he hurriedly said, "Sir Charles, don't get me wrong. Sir envoy is just talking about the empire's system. There is no other meaning. In fact, the situation of the Shadow Empire is more complicated. Even if sir can succeed, it will consume a lot of time which is greatly detrimental to sir's plan. I believe that with Royal Highness Obsidian's wisdom, he should make the most correct choice. "
With that said, Josh winked at Chen Rui. Chen Rui saw it and frowned, "I need to seriously consider this matter, including some future directions."
Isabella didn't want to push too hard, so she said, "It's not that I'm threatening sir, but according to the Regent's order, I must return to the capital tomorrow. I hope … the journey back will not be lonely."
"Miss, please rest assured that a real gentleman will not make the same mistake." Chen Rui's expression eased, and he replied politely, "Of course, the premise is that we can give each other a chance … to really get to know each other."
"Of course." Isabella showed a charming smile and turned away.
