Chen Rui held Isabella in his arms. The blood in her chest had frozen, and she was trembling involuntarily.
"Broc … is he dead?" Broc's angry blow contained a bit of the power of the peak stage of the Demon Overlord. Isabella was now on the verge of death. Her voice was quite weak, but she still did not forget the life and death of her enemy.
"With Obsidian's attack, he will definitely not be able to escape."
Isabella's eyes showed relief, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid … I can only return it to you once."
Chen Rui knew what she meant. She wanted to kill him 4 times. Just now it was canceled out, but he could feel that it was by no means a simple "return".
"Isabella …"
"Not called Inni anymore?" Isabella forced a smile, "However, this Isabella is the most genuine title I have ever heard from you."
Chen Rui's heart trembled. Sure enough, emotions can't be faked. The more invested, the more you can feel the authenticity. So …
Chen Rui kept telling himself that this was just a hypocritical script with a fake and vicious woman acting as an antagonist, but for some reason, his heart still ached faintly.
"Charles, what … are you going to do?"
"Charles" severed his cooperation with Bloodfall and escaped by faking his death. He almost lost his foothold in the Demon Realm. Isabella couldn't understand what he would do.
"I'm a liar, a simple liar. That's all. " Chen Rui gently tidied up the hair on her forehead that was stained with blood. "Didn't you say that if I'm just a liar, maybe our ending will be different?"
"It's … different." Isabella looked at him quietly and didn't ask anything else. Chen Rui fed her a bottle of healing potion, but it didn't help. He could even clearly feel that her vitality was passing away quickly.
"Promise me one thing. If you have a chance to see my nephew in the future … tell him that the Breeze Shadow Boots … have been lost 200 years ago …"
Breeze Shadow Boots!
Chen Rui was shocked. He vaguely guessed that it had something to do with the man Isabella met two hundred years ago. He deliberately asked, "Breeze Shadow Boots? One of the Seven Great Artifacts of the Devil Realm? "
Isabella's eyes, which were on the verge of collapsing, started to become hazy. "That year, the ignorant girl met a human man who was good at sweet-talking. She was dead set on him and trusted him wholeheartedly. She did not hesitate to turn against her family and become enemies with her sisters. She even gave him her most precious artifact …"
It turned out that the Breeze Shadow Boots had actually fallen into the hands of that human man! Berial's highest divine artifact is actually in the human world?
In other words, if Lomont wanted to retrieve the Breeze Shadow Boots, he could only go to the Surface World?
"Sabrina liked to compete with me since she was young. Even men are like this. However, we were all wrong." Isabella smiled bitterly. "This man only has the artifact in his eyes. Even when I took the initiative to offer myself, he was quite restrained. It wasn't until he got the artifact and abandoned me mercilessly that I realized that he actually hated women and liked men!"
Isabella's smile became more and more bitter. Even her bloody tears came out from her laughter. Even Broc's freezing power couldn't freeze them. "It's ridiculous! I, a stupid woman who is willing to give up everything, actually fell in love with such a cold-blooded and ruthless liar. Moreover … even offering myself was disregarded! "
Chen Rui listened quietly. The only thing he could do was to help her wipe her tears carefully.
Although he only heard bits and pieces, Chen Rui could completely imagine what kind of ups and downs this once pure and innocent Snow Dallet had experienced in the past two hundred years to become the poisonous Devil's Snare today. Therefore, she hated men, feelings, and even everything. There was only hatred and hatred left in her life.
However, from the jerkiness of kissing, it could be seen that under the poison of Devil's Snare, the fragrance of Snow Dallet still vaguely remained.
"You are also a liar … Charles, maybe it's not your real name …" Isabella's life gradually dissipated with a bitter smile. "However, I would rather meet you back then, at least … at least …"
Isabella's voice became softer and softer, and the trembling of her body gradually stopped.
Chen Rui took a deep breath and finally made a decision.
There was a clear glass bottle in his hand. The bottle was filled with black potions.
Fallen Angel Capital, palace.
Obsidian looked at the few people kneeling below with a gloomy face. One of them was his most beloved and trusted concubine. It was this concubine who betrayed him and leaked the most secret information that he inadvertently revealed after he was drunk that day.
Bloodfall!
This force that I have heard of is actually so bold! Their hands are so long! Even the most trusted woman by my side is a member of this organization!
Although according to the concubine's explanation, the person from "above" should be trying to rope in "Charles", but no matter what, the death of "Charles" and Isabella was single-handedly directed by the Blood Submerged Association.
This was not the most critical issue.
The most terrible thing was that the large sum of money was all given to "Charles". At that time, Obsidian saw with his own eyes that "Charles" used space magic to keep it in a certain private space. Now that this partner is dead, the money is equivalent to falling into the space turbulence. There is no way to get it back! This is a huge amount of funds raised by Obsidian himself and the major lords and families. Just the Red Spirit Lord Josh alone has contributed 1 billion!
Now not only the huge sum of money and black potions are gone, even Charles is gone. It can be said that the dead cannot testify! What can I use to return these families and these estates?
Thinking of this, Obsidian's heart was bleeding.
Even if the truth of the Bloodfall is revealed, or even the concubine is used as a witness, no one will believe it. No one is willing to believe that those guys only want money!
Speaking of which, I blame myself for making a solemn promise, but at that time, who knows that such a thing will happen?
Now that the Demon Realm potioneer contest is about to start, I should first try to raise funds to hold it successfully. As for the money of those estates, I can only try to delay it for a while and think of a way!
The concubine stepped forward, hugged Obsidian's leg, kissed his boots, and cried, "Your Highness, please forgive me! I was forced. I will never dare to do it again. I will serve Your Highness more wholeheartedly … "
Before she finished speaking, her beautiful face suddenly burned. In the scream, her whole body was burned to ashes in a moment. Obsidian, who killed his beloved woman with his own hands, had a cold light in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and spat out 2 words, "Bloodfall!"
Dark Moon City.
The residents didn't know that compared with the shocking waves set off by the person from the Dark Moon in the capital, what they were currently discussing was just a small wave.
Now, the most discussed thing in the Dark Moon was a battle ball game.
This ball game was completely different from the previous ones. It didn't refer to the intensity or excitement, but it was a gambling game that could affect the entire Dark Moon situation.
At the regular meeting not long ago, Financial Officer Joseph, who was pushed to the edge of the cliff by Princess Royal Shea, finally launched a public revolt. He made a solemn protest to the sir lord, protesting a series of sanctions and suppression. It was just that Joseph himself was not trusted in the Red Spirit Estate at the moment, so he couldn't use the Red Spirit Estate's policies as a trump card as in the past. What's more, the current Dark Moon was not the Dark Moon 1 or 2 years ago.
After Joseph's protest was ineffective, he finally "helplessly" used his last move, which was to use the chamber of commerce he established, all the industries under his name, and the position of the financial officer to bet with Princess Royal publicly.
Joseph's bet could be said to be all out. He asked Princess Royal to issue a bet, including the joint chamber of commerce, night market, Princess Retail Store, auction house, arena, etc. It was almost all the economic forces controlled by Jía.
Jía refused without hesitation. She said that she couldn't use a sloppy method like gambling to decide such a big thing. From the current situation, even if she didn't take this risk, she could slowly crush Joseph.
Joseph was very cunning. He used the name of the royal family to goad Jía, and he used many means that he had been preparing for a long time. Jía was a little embarrassed, so she changed an excuse. She said that Joseph's bet was too small and couldn't be compared with the assets she had now. This was indeed the truth.
If it was 1 or 2 years ago, it was almost impossible. Now, the situation was reversed. Whether it was the initiative or the strength, Jía had the absolute upper hand.
At this moment, there was a sudden change. "Aguile", who had been standing on Jía's side and was also appointed as the reserve captain of the imperial guards, suddenly changed sides. He announced that the Cloak Gang would fully support Joseph's side.
Everyone was in an uproar. It turned out that "Aguile" was actually Joseph's chess piece beside Jía!
In this way, Joseph had the arena, night market, and Cloak Gang's properties in his hands. Plus the position of the financial officer, he was barely on par with Jía's side. Jía was furious about "Aguile's" defection. With the support of a group of families, she agreed immediately. Many of these families were fence-sitters. They were very good at seeing opportunities. No matter who won or lost, they would support the meritorious service anyway.
In this way, both sides used the battle ball as a gambling method. A highly anticipated competition was scheduled to be held at the arena at the end of the month. At that time, all the audience would witness it. Whoever won would truly control the Dark Moon's economy.
With Jía's prestige in the Dark Moon, coupled with the strength of the imperial guards and garrison guards that were obviously higher than the civilian teams, most people were naturally optimistic about this Princess Royal. As for Joseph, at most, he was just a relatively strong team that was secretly trained. He couldn't be compared with the imperial guards and garrison guards who represented the Dark Moon and should also represent the Demon Realm's battle ball at the same time.
The rules of the battle ball had strict restrictions on both sides of the competition. It was impossible for a Higher Demon to play against a Lower Demon. Joseph and Princess Royal agreed that the two teams that would play were the Intermediate Demon Team.
Jía should be a sure winner. The Dark Moon's soldiers and civilians thought so, and so did most of the families. Only Joseph didn't think so. He had seen the Intermediate Demon Battle Team under "Aguile" with his own eyes. Their strength was definitely better than all the current Dark Moon teams. They put on so many postures in the beginning, including forcing him to the edge of the cliff, just for this regular meeting.
"Aguile" really didn't let him down. He stood up in time and successfully facilitated this gambling match. With the careful planning of this ally, Joseph was the real winner who had the last laugh!
It was just that Joseph didn't know that even "Aguile" himself thought that Jía would win. This was simply a pit. Now that Joseph had jumped into it, he was burying himself in the soil step by step. Only the last shovel was left.
From the beginning of the cooperation with "Aguile. Beelzebub", this gloomy and cunning Dark Moon financial officer and the eldest son of the Red Spirit Lord was destined to be a complete tragedy.
