"We're here!" Xena, who was silent all the way and had been staring at the scenery outside the car window, said softly after the car stopped.
"Here?" Irving was speechless when he saw the scene in front of him.
"Well, where else?" Xena looked matter-of-factly and skipped off without waiting for the driver to open the door.
Irving followed closely, looking at the majestic buildings in front of him, and swallowed his saliva.
The Silverwood Family Courtyard was located on the top of the mountain. Irving couldn't see the area and other aspects of the building. However, he could vaguely see that the building complex was divided into three parts. As for their respective functions, from the distant appearance, It was hard to tell.
Xena shook her head at the security guard who came to search Irving at the gate, and then led the stunned Irving into a small car without a roof that looked like a tour bus, and drove slowly towards the top of the mountain.
Appearing as a fiance was naturally one of the conditions for helping Xena. After all, if others really want to sabotage her, without this relationship, there are still many loopholes that can be exploited.As soon as Xena left the study, she immediately put away her naughty look. She smiled and refused the servants' requests for spa treatment and guidance, and led Irving around alone.Finally, the two stopped in a shelter-like building. Irving glanced at Xena, who was patting her calf, complaining about being tired, and said with a sly smile but sincere smile. "Your family house is really big. I remember it was only about 2 o’clock when I left the study, right?”Now, it was already past five o'clock in the evening, meaning the two of them had been wandering around the top of the mountain for more than three hours. No wonder Irving would sigh like this.Xena straightened up, walked to Irving, leaned on the guardrail and looked at the scenery at the bottom of the mountain, and said sadl
The noisy discussions in the audience instantly positioned Xena as a naive girl who was inexperienced in the world, and Irving as an unforgivable villain.Although Irving was a man with extraordinary skills and strong combat powers at this time, he was still only an eighteen-year-old boy after all. Even when he was in school, teachers didn't even give him a chance to get up and answer questions in class. He had never had a chance to speak loudly in front of an audience before. How could he calmly face this group of notable people in the audience?Irving suppressed his anxiety, narrowed his eyes, and clenched his fists subconsciously."Look at how poor his mental quality is. I am so angry right now. Hmph!!" Someone in the audience shouted, and everyone even laughed at Irving.Xena stood behind Irving and naturally noticed something strange about him. She also heard the words of the people in the audience that seemed to care about her, but in fact were mixed with many careless words.She
The old man called "Grand Uncle" by everyone was not very tall, with sparse white hair and a face full of age spots. Grand Uncle's eyes were very small, so even if he opens his eyes wide at this moment, he gave people a gloomy feeling as if he was squinting at them.Seeing that everyone's appetite had been whetted by him, the Grand Uncle smiled, stood up and waved his hand as a greeting to everyone. Then he stared at Bauer, who had a gloomy face, and said with an even stronger smile: "Baishu, I have watched you grow up, but you did not do the right thing this time. Although the Silverwood family is generally ruled by your direct lineage, you have tied so many collateral branches to this sinking ship, so I have to blame you. After all, they are more or less the descendants of our Silverwood ancestors."Bauer's face was so gloomy that water was about to drip out of it. It was not because of the sudden appearance of this old man and his alarmist words that misled people, but because he d
Irving's hand was instantly pinched. Naturally, he knew the only one who could pinch his hand was Xena. When he looked at Xena's face, he saw it was cold because of what the old man actually said. Wasn't that indirectly saying that Irving was walking in the shadows of death?Irving could feel Xena's anger. After all, her hand was intertwined with his own, and he could clearly feel Xena's emotions. He smiled and gently bumped Xena with his shoulder, and whispered, "Give me a chance. I promise, you won't regret it!"Xena showed a look of disapproval. After all, although she had not had much contact with this Grand Uncle, she knew from the stories her grandfather told her that this man was a scheming person. If he was not absolutely sure of himself, how could he come back so blatantly?Just looking at Irving's determined expression, Xena's heart was twisted like a dough stick. At this time, did she really want to undermine his confidence?Seeing Xena in such a dilemma, Irving's murderous
At this time, a young man who didn't look like an American, but more like a Southeast Asian, with a yellow complexion and a hint of dark tone, stood next to the Grand Uncle and said a lot of things. Irving didn't understand a word he said. What Irving didn't expect was that Xena, who was afraid that something would happen to him and had jumped off the stage with a sprained ankle, actually understood what he said. You know, this girl was the one who often encouraged him to skip classes and go out to play, but she actually understood Thai?Irving rolled his eyes, and Xena explained. "He said that he has many unique skills that cannot be seen by outsiders, and he has to fight in a closed room!"Seeing that Xena helped to explain, Grand Uncle did not repeat himself. He looked at Irving, waiting for a reply."Fuck, that's rare?" Irving blurted out. "Okay, let's go!"Xena forgot about the pain and all the people around her at this moment. She only felt that the back of the guy in front of
The incandescent lights in the room were unusually bright. Irving was in a guest room in this high-rise building with a good view of the surroundings. He looked down at the lights of thousands of homes and the bustling city. He curled up on the sofa, staring at the black card given to him by Bauer in his hand, lost in thought.It was unknown what material the card was made of. It was completely black and could not be broken or smashed. It was the size of a normal business card, and there was nothing else on the front except a number that was so dark red that it seemed to be bleeding.After staying in Silverwood's house for ten days, on the evening of the tenth day, after Bauer received a guest in the study, he carefully handed the black card to Irving and told Irving that the person who came to visit in the evening was the leader of this black list organization.Afterwards, of course, he said goodbye to Silverwoods, and then inexplicably followed this so-called guide to a pier, where h
The four cars sped along, and under the guidance of the female leader, they drove further and further in the opposite direction of the fireworks. Soon, the group of people came to the edge of the city, and under the guidance of the female leader, they abandoned the car and drove fast until they came to a dense jungle, and then they stopped to rest and catch their breath."Who are the reserve team members? Can't the five of us handle them? Why are we fleeing in such a hurry?" The short man who dealt with the security guard in the parking lot wiped the fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead and asked the question that Irving wanted to ask with some indignation.At this time, the female leader seemed to have recovered her breath. She glanced at the short man and sneered. "Reserve members are those who are on the reserve Black List. They are strong enough but there are not enough vacancies to place them. One of the ways for them to be promoted to the Black List is to collect enough
The short man reacted very quickly. He suddenly pulled out a long dagger from his waist and rushed forward quickly. He chopped five times in a row with lightning speed. His behavior at this time had a kind of momentum to propel him forward. This short man appeared to be a very oppressive person. At this time, he was preparing to attack with all his strength, and he might have the intention of defeating the enemy in one move, so as to ensure his position as the leader of this team in the future.But the burly figure who was charging forward did not dodge or evade. Instead, he stretched out his hands and grabbed the wrist of the smaller man, causing his seemingly brilliant but actually useless sword skills to come to nothing.The burly figure just grabbed the little man's wrist, and with his other free hand he hit the little man's temple with his fist like a Warhammer. It was not difficult to tell from the powerful punch that he was intending to kill him.Sure enough, the sound of bone
