The badge of the palace senior consultant was really useful. Chen Rui was unimpeded all the way and entered the palace directly. When Obsidian got the news of his arrival, he immediately put aside his affairs to meet him.
"Your Highness." Chen Rui bowed with joy on his face, "The initial capital investment is very smooth. The most difficult period of the family has finally passed. Thanks to Your Highness' trust and timely financial support, the original rebate of 100 million every 2 installments is now combined into 1 installment and returned to Your Highness. Here are 1.2 billion. Your Highness, please send someone to count it. "
With that said, Chen Rui waved his hand, and a large pile of space rings appeared on the ground. Each of them was filled with bags of black crystal coins.
Obsidian did not look at the pile of space rings. Since this human can keep his word and come to the Demon Realm again, he will definitely not play this kind of trick of shortage. He nodded with satisfaction, "Mr. Charles is really a trustworthy person. Do you have a plan for the next investment? How much money do you need? "
"I don't need it for the time being …"
"Charles"'s attitude surprised Obsidian. He actually doesn't want the money?
Obsidian was suspicious by nature. If Chen Rui immediately asked for more money, he would inevitably have some doubts in his heart, but now he didn't want it. It was equivalent to giving away 200 million for free, which made him frown instead.
After a while, Obsidian said, "Sir, you can speak frankly. Have you found a new partner?"
Chen Rui laughed in his heart, knowing that his little trick was successful. He shook his head and said, "Your Highness, don't get me wrong. I promised that the Fallen Angel Empire will be my only partner. In fact, this is the case. At present, the investment projects have been activated one by one, and the family business has gradually recovered. The crisis has passed, but blindly defending may not work. We need to accumulate strength to prepare for a counterattack. The next investment is still in the specific planning. "
Obsidian looked a little relieved, and he nodded slightly.
"I have a team of about 50 people, all of whom are senior calculators. They are responsible for the budget work of revenue and expenditure. Every detail can't be missed. Because sometimes, a small wound is enough to be fatal. "
"50 people are responsible for the budget?" Obsidian was slightly surprised, "It is indeed the top business family."
"The budget is only one aspect. On the other hand, that major event has also reached a critical moment. I believe that it won't be long before we get the final result. That's the real key. If I succeed, then I will have an 80% chance of winning. At that time, not only will it benefit my great cause, but it will also benefit Your Highness immeasurably. "
Obsidian was moved, "You mean …"
"In any case, my promise remains unchanged. Royal Highness Obsidian will be the only partner of I, Charles. Roland. By then, Royal Highness will be able to control the monopoly resources of the Demon Realm. Whether it's the control of our own country or the diplomacy of other countries, it will play an immeasurable role. "
Chen Rui's words finally made Obsidian's face show joy, "Then, I am looking forward to this day."
"As Your Highness wishes." Chen Rui bowed.
"It will also be as you wish, Royal Highness." Obsidian was in a good mood. No matter what, she gave me 200 million for free, and the address has changed.
"By the way, Sir Charles came from afar. Thank you for your hard work. I will hold a banquet in the evening to welcome you. There will be a ball later. Since you came to the Demon Realm, you don't have a formal house yet, right? I will give you a luxurious house in the capital and dozens of beauties. Compared with human women, I believe they will have a different wonderful taste. "
Dozens? Chen Rui was secretly ashamed. I'm afraid even the talent of the Dragons is not enough.
"I am deeply grateful for Your Highness' hospitality, but it's not necessary. I will continue to live with Isabella. It is undeniable that she is a real beauty, isn't it?"
"Isabella?" A hint of playfulness flashed in Obsidian's eyes, "I heard some rumors about sir and this madam. I didn't expect sir to be really interested in her, but don't forget that this madam has the nickname of the capital Devil's Snare. In the Demon Realm, Devil's Snare is a kind of poisonous flower. Although it is beautiful, it contains crazy toxicity that makes people unable to extricate themselves. If sir's goal is Isabella, I can only wish you good luck. "
"The more difficult it is, the more interesting it is, isn't it? Your Highness? "Chen Rui showed a smile that all men understood.
Obsidian also smiled, "The stronger the horse, the more powerful it is. Sir Charles is really a noble with good taste. I personally support sir unconditionally. I wish sir can really pick this capital's famous flower as soon as possible."
Chen Rui thought secretly. It seems that Isabella's identity and value are different. Obsidian did not directly say "send", but he encouraged me to "pursue". Perhaps, the value I have expressed so far is not enough.
"As long as Your Highness does not reward me with a house for the time being, it is the greatest support." Chen Rui smiled and said, "In fact, she and I are just ordinary friends, but there are already a lot of troubles starting to target me."
"Since it is the Devil's Snare flower, sir should be mentally prepared." Obsidian said with a smile, "But sir can rest assured that nothing can affect our cooperation plan. The banquet in the evening …"
"Forgive me, can the welcome banquet of Your Highness be left to the next time?" Chen Rui didn't want to participate in any banquets and dances. "My time is too tight this time. After a short rest, I will immediately go to the Red Spirit Estate to see my brother who is training in the Demon Realm. My father has important words to bring to him. Then, I will return directly to the ground to work on the most critical part of the plan. "
Obsidian nodded, "Of course, I hope sir can get the recognition of the grand master as soon as possible."
Chen Rui left the palace and returned to Isabella's house. He proposed his plan to go to the Red Spirit Estate. Isabella nodded and offered to send him in a specially prepared carriage. Chen Rui declined this kindness, but he asked her for a good horse. After a hurried lunch, he rode straight out of the city and ran along the main road.
At this stage of the plan, Samuel must make some arrangements. He couldn't stay behind to be the scapegoat. Besides, it was said that Samuel had reached a critical stage of breakthrough last time, but he didn't know the specifics. At that time, he could return to the Dark Moon directly from the Red Spirit Estate.
Chen Rui galloped all the way on the horse. Soon, he left the capital city of the capital, and the pedestrians began to gradually become scarce. About 2 hours later, when he walked to a loop near a continuous mountain range, a premonition of danger suddenly appeared in his heart.
Before he could stop the horse, a group of meteorites mixed with flames suddenly fell from the sky. It instantly smashed Chen Rui and the horse. The ground was constantly ravaged by the powerful fire magic, [Meteor Shower], and there were continuous violent shocks.
The meteorites finally stopped gradually. There were large and exaggerated pits and cracks on the nearby road surface. The bones of Chen Rui and the horse could not be seen. Only faint blood and minced meat could be seen.
"Eh?" Suddenly someone was surprised, then several figures chased forward. In the blink of an eye, they had disappeared into the mountain range.
At the critical moment just now, Chen Rui dodged in time and stayed away from the magic range. It was the poor horse that died under the [Meteor Shower].
Chen Rui realized that he was surrounded, and one of them must be a powerful magician. He immediately fled into the deep mountains, wanting to use the terrain to avoid the long-range magic. Those who were hunting him were naturally in hot pursuit.
The passers-by in the distance only saw the fiery meteor falling, the ground trembling, and then there seemed to be a figure flashing like lightning, and soon disappeared.
Chen Rui ran all the way and fled into a forest. Because he was not familiar with the environment, his speed inevitably slowed down. A figure suddenly flashed in front of him. At the same time, a spherical black light attacked, making people feel a huge pressure from a distance. Chen Rui helplessly turned, and the black light that missed hit a giant tree that needed 5 people to hug it. The tree seemed to be exploded from the inside by some strong explosives, and a terrible big hole was smashed in the center. As the wood chips flew, there was a sound of teeth aching, and the tree fell with a loud bang.
As soon as Chen Rui dodged the black light, another green light flashed in front of him. This green light seemed to have no power, but Chen Rui's expression was more solemn than when he faced the black light previously. He dodged sideways. Wherever the green light passed, the opposite tree was broken into 5 pieces. The cut was very smooth as if it was caused by extremely sharp qi.
A huge sea of fire behind him continued to burn like a wall. It contained the manic power of fire elements, making Chen Rui unable to retreat.
"Not running anymore?" A cold voice sounded. It was a strong man holding a black short stick in his hand. The long stick was a ball with countless sharp spikes, and there was an iron chain at the end. It was this terrifying mace that smashed the giant tree into powder just now.
The strong man was of the Wrath Royal Family. His comprehensive strength assessment reached B +, the peak stage of Great Demon King.
Physique: B +, Strength: B +, Spirit: C, Agility: B-.
The Wrath Royal Family was a royal family with the surname Samael. Back then, the Wrath Empire was destroyed by the Bloody Empire. Chen Rui once fought with Lavat, the deputy head of the Blue Lava Estate's Double-headed Dragon Legion and Demon King level in the Dark Moon. He was quite impressed by the Wrath Royal Family's "Bloodfury" talent. Judging from the data, the man in front of him was obviously a strength-type opponent.
The person who released the sharp aura was a woman wearing a strange long sleeve. Her facial features were quite beautiful, but there was a crisscrossed knife scar on her face, which destroyed her original appearance. Her slightly upturned eyes overflowed with a cold murderous aura. Even without the identification of [Analytical Eyes], Chen Rui could see that this long-sleeved robe was a special piece of equipment. He didn't know if it was the long sleeve or the hidden sharp weapon in the sleeve that cut the tree just now.
Race: Pride Royal Family (mutated). Comprehensive strength: B
Physique: B-, Strength: B, Spirit: B, Agility: B +.
The magician who cast [Meteor Shower] previously was floating in the air about 3 meters. He was holding a long wooden staff in his hand, and his face looked relatively old.
Race: Great Demon (mutated). Comprehensive strength: B +.
Physique: C, Strength: C-, Spirit: B +, Speed: C +.
Two peak stage Great Demon Kings and one intermediate stage Great Demon King with strength, speed, and long-range magic. The combat power of this combination was quite terrifying. The degree of danger was far more than the situation when he faced Liu and the 2 vampires last time.
"There is one more. Come out. At this time, do you want to be a cowardly tortoise?" Chen Rui's gaze fell on the big tree on the other side.
"Hmph! After you become a corpse later, I don't know if your mouth will still be so tough. " A somewhat familiar voice sounded, and the figure gradually became clear. A tall, thin, and handsome man wearing a set of expensive armor and holding a beautifully decorated long sword in his hand. It was Lordan, the heir of the capital's elder family, the Lincoln Family, whom Chen Rui once scolded in front of Isabella.
"It's actually you!" Chen Rui raised his eyebrows, "I'm a senior advisor of the palace. You actually dare to kill me. If the Regent Royal Highness knows …"
"Although the capital is headed by the regent, not everything is decided by the regent. Many things are inseparable from the decision and power of our elder families. Not to mention that you're not an aristocrat and just an empty title of advisor, even if you're a real aristocrat, I will still kill you! Since you humiliated me in front of Isabella last time, you are destined to be torn into pieces! "When Lordan mentioned this, he seemed to be gnashing his teeth. His handsome facial features were a little distorted.
Last time, it was clearly Lordan who provoked and sneak attacked first. In the end, he humiliated himself. Unexpectedly, he still bore a deep hatred. Chen Rui knew that it was meaningless to argue with this kind of prodigal son, so he smiled indifferently, "Since you want to kill me, you have to be aware of death first."
"Stop bluffing!" Lordan sneered, "I have the most reliable information. Your strength is at most the peak of the Great Demon King. You haven't reached the Demon Emperor at all. You will definitely die today!"
Chen Rui paid attention to another thing. From the time he arrived at the capital to his departure, he only went to Isabella's house for a while and met Obsidian in the palace. Then, he returned to Isabella's house to have a meal and left. In such a short time, Lordan found out his movements and arranged an ambush. It seemed that what Isabella said was true that Rommel wanted to deal with him.
It's just that Rommel is also extremely cunning. He actually pushed Lordan, who has a grudge with me, to make a move. He hides behind me. He is really insidious. Perhaps I can give him the nickname of "The Fox of the Capital"?
Judging from the information that Isabella intentionally or unintentionally revealed, Rommel is one of the representatives of the elder families. In contrast, Isabella's background is much shallower. She only got the recognition of the upper nobles by relying on the connection of her late husband's family.
In fact, Obsidian was more afraid of Rommel, but out of scruples about the capital's old family and the huge power, he had to entrust him with the important task of taking charge of the empire's military affairs. It is likely that Rommel is not very clear about the origin of "Charles" and the plan.
In any case, the relationship between Obsidian and the elder families has a lot of things to make a fuss about.
For example, these people in front of me …
Lordan's arrogant voice pulled Chen Rui back to reality from his quick thoughts, "Now you don't even have the chance to escape or beg for mercy. These powerhouses came with the order to kill, but … I can give you time to say your last words."
"I'm sorry. From the beginning, I never thought about escaping, including coming here." Chen Rui smiled slightly, "Because I can use my power without any scruples in this remote place. Actually, I want to apologize for this sentence. All of you must die. "
