Chen Rui looked at the graceful figure in the distance and sighed, "This woman is not simple."
"Of course it's not simple," Josh said, "In the past few days, she has almost figured out the details of the Red Spirit Estate. I originally wanted to cover up this matter, but she just gave a few detailed numbers, and I was speechless. In terms of strength, this woman is slightly inferior to me, but when it comes to scheming, I'm afraid few people in the entire empire can be on par with her, especially her ruthless and insidious means. The Devil's Snare Flower is worthy of her reputation. "
"I brought the first rebate this time. Our cooperation has already made a good start, but unfortunately, the plan can't keep up with the changes." Chen Rui nodded with empathy, "Sir lord, you should understand that I don't have much choice in this matter."
"I understand. Actually … I don't either." Josh sighed, "Sir Charles is resolute and honest. Although the contact and cooperation time is not long, he left a very good and deep impression on me. I will make a guarantee for sir in front of the Regent. I hope sir can properly consider your old friend of the Red Spirit Estate in your future plan."
Once Prince Obsidian really approved of this plan, he would definitely swallow the largest piece of benefits. Most of the endless wealth would flow into Obsidian's pocket by then, leaving only a few leftovers for the Red Spirit Estate. As Isabella said, the cooperation conditions that an estate can provide are definitely not comparable to an empire.
"Don't worry, I will definitely consider it. Don't forget, we still have the corresponding equality contract. In addition to the rebate brought today, I can guarantee that the numbers promised in advance will appear in front of sir. As for my brother … I will leave him to Sir Josh to take care of. He is currently only one step away from the Saint level. I hope sir can give him some appropriate inspiration. If Samuel can really break through to the Saint level, then as a thank you, I will list additional projects to cooperate with sir alone. "
Josh's eyes lit up, and he nodded. Chen Rui secretly laughed in his heart. With this "promise", he was not afraid that Josh would not worship Samuel like a Bodhisattva. For Samuel himself, it would also be an important opportunity to reach the Saint level.
With a thought, Chen Rui added, "I don't know why, but I have a hunch that this trip to the imperial capital will not be easy. I wonder if Sir Lord has any good suggestions?"
Josh really didn't hide it. He introduced the situation of the capital. There were a large number of families with a long history in the capital. Their forces were deeply rooted. Even Regent Obsidian had to be scrupulous. Prince Obsidian had two trusted aides, one was Isabella, who was in charge of finances, and the other was Rommel, the current military minister. The military of the Demon Realm empire was a traditional 3-general structure. The first general, George. Wales, was currently stationed in the northeast Warlock Fortress. The second general, Doren. Rus, commanded the imperial guards and the most elite Red Devil Legion. The third general, Gerant. Brian, was stationed in the northwest Tekula Fortress.
Chen Rui had seen Doren's son, Sergey. He once coveted Athena. Chen Rui plotted to kill Alan, the son of the capital's finance minister, Legu. Karon, making General Doren and Legu enemies. Sergey was dismissed from the Red Devil Legion's official position, and he left the capital to follow Gerant to guard the border at Tekula Fortress. It was equivalent to a kind of exile. This was mainly to calm the anger of the Karon Family.
In addition, there were 2 palace guests with unfathomable strength. One was called Krobelus, and the other was a human like "Charles", named Nero.
Even Josh knew very little about these 2 people, but Josh emphasized one point: To get the approval and permission of Prince Obsidian for this plan, the most important thing is to pass through Isabella, who is in charge of the empire's finances.
Chen Rui frowned. This woman's mind is even above Sabrina. Judging from her previous attitude, this matter is definitely not easy.
Josh even vaguely said that although this capital's poisonous flower has a wide network, it is said that no man can really conquer her so far. If "Charles" can work on this, it may have a miraculous effect.
Seduction? Chen Rui shook his head with a wry smile. I don't have this ability yet. Besides, Isabella is likely to be with Azgalor. In terms of strength alone, she has Demon Emperor-level power, and the "God-Eating Mask" is not suitable to use. It seems that I have to think of another way.
The next day, Chen Rui followed Isabella on the carriage to the capital.
Along the way, Isabella didn't ask Chen Rui about the plan or the Ktribut Family. She didn't even mention this aspect. She just asked about some irrelevant things such as the local customs of the human world.
Chen Rui knew that the more anxious he was at this time, the easier it was to expose himself. He calmed his mind and dealt with it carefully. The fragments of the human world in his memory seemed very vague, but before implementing the entire plan, Chen Rui had specially spent a few days listening to Samuel in detail about the relevant things in the human world. It could be said that 80% of his knowledge of the human world now came from Samuel, and the remaining 20% was the original "Arthur".
Isabella elegantly took a sip of the red fruit wine and asked, "Has Sir Charles been to the Holy Mountain of the Light Divinity Temple?"
This carriage was a bit similar to Christina's last time. It was a space prop, but there was only one room in it. The facilities were quite complete, and he didn't feel bumpy at all.
"The Holy Mountain of the Light Divinity Temple is the place of the highest faith in the human world. Only the clergymen of the temple or permitted pilgrims and devout can enter." Chen Rui showed a self-deprecating smile, "I'm just a vulgar businessman. I'm not qualified to be blessed by the sacred."
"So, what if I want a Snow Dallet flower of the Holy Mountain of Light?"
"Snow Dallet? Sacred flower? " Chen Rui frowned. When Samuel introduced the Light Divinity Temple, he once mentioned that the Snow Dallet flower of the Holy Mountain of Light had the magical power of light and was known as the sacred flower.
He didn't know where Isabella heard this name. The point was that Chen Rui's "return to the human world" was purely a scam. If Isabella really wanted this flower, he definitely couldn't give it to her. He immediately frowned and said nothing.
Isabella saw Chen Rui's troubled look and smiled slightly, "If you can't even do this request, then should I doubt the true strength of your family in the human world?"
"If it's normal times, with the power of the Ktribut Family, this request is difficult, but it is not impossible." Chen Rui had an idea in the emergency, "It's just that the current situation is special, and we are cooperating with the Demon Realm. We must not attract the attention of the temple. I don't like to talk about things that can't be done, but I can promise miss that when the conditions permit in the future, I will definitely bring the most beautiful sacred flower to miss. "
"In the future? Then it's not possible now? But I still feel quite comfortable in my heart. It seems that sir does have a way to deal with women. I believe there should be a lot of women attracted by your charm. " Isabella leaned a little lazily on the sofa behind her. The 2 plump masses on her chest changed slightly with this movement. The end of the black stockings faintly revealed her snow-white thighs. Every movement was full of temptation.
"I'm ashamed to say that so far, I only have 2 wives and 1 fiancée." Chen Rui shook his head, "As the heir of the family, I need to focus on more important matters."
"I like a man who knows self-discipline." Isabella showed a seductive smile, "I will remember your 'future' promise. At that time, I will also give you an unforgettable gift."
"Miss Isabella," Chen Rui hesitated a little and said, "I believe you have learned from Lord Josh about the predicament my family is facing and my comeback plan. Sir Josh once hinted to me that miss is the key to me getting the recognition of the Royal Highness Regent. I now sincerely ask miss to help me. After all, the current situation is still not optimistic, and there is not much time left for me."
Isabella was not easy to deal with. In Charles' situation, if he was too careless, it would arouse suspicion, so Chen Rui directly made the request.
"Sir Josh thinks too highly of me. I'm just a widow with little power." Isabella sighed, "Besides, don't you think that things that are too easy to get will make people feel unreal, just like … sir's plan?"
This seemingly unintentional sentence made Chen Rui's heart beat violently, but he still remained calm on the surface. He said faintly, "So, I have to pay a considerable price to make miss feel more real?"
"Or you can call it fulfillment." Isabella's charming blue eyes were sparkling, "For a woman who is empty all day long, this feeling is too precious."
These words were full of teasing hints. If it was another man, it was likely that he would immediately push her to the ground, fill the emptiness of this woman, and let her taste what it was like to be full and fulfilled.
Chen Rui knew the details of this woman, so he didn't have any fancy thoughts at all. He just looked at her coldly, "What are your conditions?"
"Going straight to the point now?" Isabella chuckled and said, "I thought you wanted to do enough foreplay. Shouldn't a man with interest be more patient with women?"
Chen Rui shook his head, "It's undeniable that miss's charm makes me almost unable to control myself. But, compared to interest, responsibility is more important to me. "
"Sir Charles is really an admirable man," Isabella said with a smile, "It's a pity that men are usually only responsible for themselves … As for women, they should be the object of your irresponsibility. Isn't it? "
Although Isabella smiled charmingly, Chen Rui clearly saw the hint of cynicism, and he was silent.
Isabella saw that he was silent, so she didn't continue to beat around the bush. She stated the conditions, "Okay … since Sir Charles is a very responsible man, then go to a place and help me bring back a person."
"Where? What is the name and characteristics of that person? "Chen Rui did not refuse or bargain, and he showed a very straightforward look.
Isabella was very satisfied with his attitude, "The location is the underground ruins of Trevante. We will pass by there soon. Don't ask that person's name. As for the characteristics … it's annoying, very annoying … No matter what that guy becomes, bring it to me, even if it's a corpse. "
Chen Rui had been in the Demon Realm for a while, but he had not heard of the underground ruins of Trevante. He asked again to confirm, "Go to the underground ruins of Trevante and bring back an annoying guy, dead or alive?"
"Yes, there should be only one person in the entire underground ruins. Even the corpse should be very fresh. You don't have to worry about finding the wrong person. In fact, this guy offended me some time ago, and I tricked him to go there. Now, I suddenly want to see if he's dead or has become a lunatic. Perhaps I'll give him a new trick to play with. "Isabella's tone was very calm, as if it was just a very insignificant matter.
Chen Rui looked enlightened, "Is miss hinting that if I offend you, I will suffer a terrible end?"
"Sir is thinking too much, but … women are very vengeful. You can't easily offend them." Isabella elegantly tucked a strand of curly hair in front of her forehead behind her ear and smiled, "However, if Sir Charles succeeds in this, then not only will he not be a person Isabella hates, but … he may really like you …"
Chen Rui heard between the lines. If he couldn't do it, then he would become the person she hated. This woman's mind was extraordinary, and she was vicious. Now was the critical moment of the plan. He must not let her ruin the plan.
"I will do my best to get miss's favor … and help."
Isabella nodded with a smile. She went out to instruct the coachman, then she returned to the space and said, "The ruins are a little dangerous, but it is definitely not a problem for a powerhouse like Sir Charles. According to the current itinerary, you may arrive in half a day. The coachman, Jardel, will take you there. I will wait for your good news in Town Rhode in front. According to the request of Royal Highness Regent, I only have 3 extra days. I believe that sir's plan does not allow too much time to be delayed, right? "
The "a little bit" of danger that Isabella mentioned was definitely not ordinary. The Trevante Ruins should be a very dangerous place, and they only had three days to go. However, it seemed like they had no choice but to go.
"By the way, I'll kill Jardel later. I've been hating his infatuated gaze lately," Isabella added lightly.
"I'm willing to serve you, beautiful lady." Chen Rui smiled slightly, but there was a chill in his heart. The coachman was more or less someone close to me, but this woman killed him just like that. She is really a poisonous flower that cannot be touched.
"Then, Charles, I wish you success soon." Isabella smiled and raised her glass, "Please forgive me for removing the polite address without authorization."
"It's my honor … Isabella." Chen Rui also picked up his glass, and the two clinked their glasses. Although they each had their own ulterior motives, they smiled tacitly at the same time.
