Ren can understand Viola's anger.
Assassinated by someone sent by his uncle to fight for interests, it is impossible for anyone to accept this kind of thing peacefully.
Viola's mood is calm now.
In fact, just now, Ren guessed that the master behind the assassination was from the family of the Duke of Silver Star.
Today’s autumn outing is Viola’s temporary decision last night. It is difficult for outsiders to get news and find someone to make arrangements for the assassination overnight.
Only members of the family, because Viola has to borrow the family yacht, will he know today's itinerary, and let the elemental envoy and the female gunman lurk on the yacht in advance, and get to the place to do it.
However, there are several family members competing for the Winter Lightning Earl. Rennes does not know the other competitors, so it is not certain that it was Gallovina's hand.
Until Viola recognized the origin of the elemental messenger, and the two pieces of information were combined, Gallovena was locked.
Renn also considered another aspect.
The Elemental Envoy came from Modu. Even if he was in a magic airship, he couldn't reach Longshande overnight. There was only one explanation. The Elemental Envoy had actually arrived long ago and was waiting for the opportunity to do it.
This shows that Gallovena had already planned to assassinate Viola.
But there is one more thing Ren didn’t understand, and asked:
Do you think that Shadow Warrior and Elementalism are not the same way?
"I'm not sure."
Viola carefully recalled the previous battle. She shook her head slightly, somewhat puzzled: "If they are not a group, who sent the Shadow Warriors?"
Ryan did not say that the Shadow Warrior is a believer in the Lord of the Storm. He just guessed: "Could it be Phyllis? Her motives are not small, but how could Phyllis know that we are out for an autumn tour..."
"Maybe she has been sending someone to follow me secretly." Viola frowned slightly and said with a strange face: "Speaking of Phyllis, the fake demon soul scam last time, nothing happened, as if it didn't happen. It’s the same. With Felice’s character, she can't swallow this breath, which makes me feel strange."
Ryan also thinks that Phyllis is not a person who suffers nothing in vain.
Given that woman's background, strength, and status, she feels jealous and hateful towards Viola again. How could it be such a thing?
He immediately thought of a possibility and said, "Could these two groups of people collude?"
If this is the case, then Viola's trouble will be big, it can be described as internal and external troubles, not to mention the competition for the Earl of Winter Ting, and it is very likely that he will not even be able to protect his life.
Viola's expression became even more ugly, and he was a little at a loss.
She has no support from within the family and can have her current status. Most of her father was re-used by the duke because she was favored by the duke in the past and showed outstanding management ability.
I really want to say how much the Duke attaches to her great-granddaughter, but I can't really talk about it.
Her position is not irreplaceable.
If she was successfully assassinated and died unfavorably, maybe the Duke would be very angry, but that's all, and then send someone to take over the Violet House and continue to contribute wealth to the family.
was silent for a while, Renn roughly understood Viola's current situation and comforted him: "Don't worry too much, I will stand with you."
Viola nodded slightly, smiling on her beautiful face: "Yes, I still have you, now you are the person I trust the most."
She leaned close to Ren's arms, felt a sense of security, and quickly calmed down.
Wenxiang Nephrite was in his arms, but Ren didn't have the slightest thoughts. He gave her an idea and said: "After you return to Longshande, don't leave the Silver Star area until the end of the year. Under the supervision of the Wizard Tower No one dares to do it easily."
"I know." Viola snorted and said confidently: "But they want to kill me, it's not that easy."
"Whoever dares to move you must step over my corpse first." Renn said quietly.
Viola trembled a little, but did not speak, just put his face on Ren's chest, and her jade arms clasped tighter.
Rehn felt the affection between the two of them, did not stop thinking in his mind, and gradually got an idea.
In the middle of the night, the yacht returned to Longshande and anchored at the pier in the Silver Star District.
The guards and servants on the ship were shocked. Fortunately, no one was injured. Now they are back safely. Everyone feels like a world away.
Viola took Ren's arm, and the two got off the yacht. Her car was already waiting on the dock.
Sitting in the car, Renn said to the driver, "Thank you for sending me to Corsham Street."
"Ren, it's too late now. You don't have to go back to the apartment. Come to my house for the night." Viola did not wait for Renn's objection, and ordered the driver to drive.
The face of the driver in front was startled, and it took two or three seconds to start the car.
While driving, he couldn't help but glanced at Renn from the rearview mirror in the middle, with unspeakable envy in his heart.
Ren didn't think much, but he didn't reject Viola's kindness either.
Soon after, the car drove into a quaint manor.
This manor covers a very large area, with a large lawn in front of it, several fountains and cloisters, and a large garden surrounding the three-story villa, surrounded by greenery, and built with high walls, just like a small castle.
Ryan looked west from the car, and a huge black shadow stood in the night. It was the Wizard Tower.
Viola's manor is almost at the foot of the Wizard Tower, only two or three hundred steps away, and the Silver Star Academy is next door. It is difficult to find a safer place in Longshande than here.
Of course, the price of this manor is also unimaginable.
Viola whispered: "This manor is actually the inheritance left by my parents and the most valuable asset in my name. Many rich people wanted to buy, but I refused."
Ren nodded, this kind of super high-quality asset will only be sold by fools.
The car stopped steadily outside the tall and solemn hall. A housekeeper, who was waiting on the steps, opened the door for Viola and said respectfully: "Miss, you are back."
"Well, trouble you, Ms. Abigail." Viola greeted the housekeeper, and the relationship between the two was very cordial.
"This is what I should do." Abigail asked concerned: "Miss, are you injured?"
She learned about what happened on the yacht through the microphone.
"It's okay, I'm fine." Viola didn't want to talk more. At this time, Ren also got out of the car. She introduced: "This is Ren, Ms. Abigail, you can arrange a room for him on the third floor. Rooms."
Abigail's eyes flashed with surprise, Viola took a male friend home for the first time, and it was late at night.
She looked at Renn quickly, did not show too much curiosity, and replied: "Yes, Mr. Renn is welcome to visit Wei Ge Manor."
"Thank you." Renn smiled at her, habitually opening the eyes of the soul.
This female housekeeper is also an extraordinary person. She is a ranger by profession, but she is only Level 3 and has relatively ordinary strength.
She should be about fifty years old. She has good looks and charming charm. Judging from the color of her soul, she has no malice towards herself. She seems to have a sense of scrutiny, like the feeling of the mother-in-law about seeing her future son-in-law for the first time.
Besides, like Viola, she is a believer of Lady Long Hair.
The three of them entered the villa and walked through the entrance hall. There was a large and graceful living room in front of them, with a huge crystal lamp hanging on the top, illuminating the whole living room like daylight.
A few beautiful maids stood in the living room and said hello in unison.
Each of them is well-trained, and there is no panic of being suddenly pulled up late at night.
Ren can perceive that everyone in this Wei Ge Manor is very curious about themselves.
Abigail's butler's actions were very agile, and with two servants, he quickly helped Rennes clean up the room and moved in.
He has discovered that this is not actually a guest room, but one of the master's suites.
There are only three rooms on the third floor. Viola lives in another room. The real guests live on the second floor. The servants are on the ground floor. They cannot come up without permission.
In the dead of night, Raine washed and lay down on the soft luxurious bed, letting go of the thoughts in his mind.
Just about to fall asleep, he heard a faint footstep coming from outside the door.
then quickly got up and opened the door.
Viola appeared in front of him in a silk nightgown at home.
"Rain..."
Viola was startled by the sudden opening of the door, and then a bit shy in his eyes.
Renn’s heartbeat speeds up uncontrollably~EbookFREE.me~ On the surface, he pretends to be very calm, and asks with a smile: "It's so late, why don't you still sleep?"
Viola pulled down the collar nervously, and said seriously: "I have come to thank you for everything you did for me today, especially for blocking the bullets with my body. Thank you."
"It is my responsibility to protect you." Renn took it for granted.
Viola was disapproving, shook his head and sighed: "Many men usually say that, but there are actually very few men who do it. In this world, people who are willing to give their lives to protect their lovers and even their families will always All are in the minority."
She looked at Ren, her eyes brighter and more moving: "And you are one of those few people. I never thought before that someone would give his life for me."
Ren couldn't bear such an eager look.
I didn't expect Viola to be so moved by his own pounce and subconscious action.
He scratched his head and said truthfully: "I didn't think too much at the time. The reason why I dare to block the bullet for you is because I know I won't die."
"It doesn't matter what you think, to me, the most important thing is that you did it."
Viola said softly.
She walked in the door step by step and stood on her toes slightly.
Raine took advantage of the opportunity to catch her.
Viola suddenly let go and backed away, blushing.
"What's the matter?" Renn looked dull.
Viola hesitated, and said, "Ren, there is one thing I must tell you before this. After you know, no matter what choice you make, I will agree."
