Chapter 257 Celine
It really surprised me, Ms. Celine, Dior and Falamo were ridiculously blinded. They didnt know that their innocent sister is actually the most fearful competitor.
Seeing that Chen Ruis tone seemed to be interested, Celine approached him and smiled sweetly. There was a little more enticement, which was completely different from her cuteness, in her smile, The things that I know may be more than master can imagine. By then, master will know whether you want an innocent, lovely girl, or a noble lady who isnt willing to be conquered, or a pitiful younger sister I can be anything
Amazing! Comparing the same temptation with wealth and sex, the sister-in-law previously can only be regarded as basic as relative to this younger sister.
Suddenly, Chen Rui realized one thing everyone had underestimated the innocent, lovely Ms. Celine.
These conditions I really cant think of a reason to decline. Chen Rui stood up slowly, holding Celines chin gently, Yet, before that, I want to confirm whether Old Gauss is still alive?
Celines eyes flickered slightly. Although the changes were slight, she couldnt hide it from Chen Rui. It seemed that he guessed it right.
I didnt expect that the disappearance of Old Gauss isnt the Falamos doing but Celines! What a smart third lady who isnt known by anyone!
Celine was still keeping the enticing smile on her face, What are you talking about? I dont understand what you meant.
Chen Rui was even more assured in his mind and he said, It seems that it isnt only Old Gauss, but the incident where Dior who was attacked a while ago and almost died, was likely planned by you too.
That assumption wasnt merely a guess. From all the signs and evidence at the time, it was definitely the Falamo couples doings. Even Croz felt skeptical. Although he didnt disclose the matter, he was distancing from the Falamo.
Chen Rui analyzed carefully that those signs seemed fake as if someone was afraid that others didnt know that the couple planned it. Certainly, he couldnt rule out the possibility of a dumb decision. Chen Rui had some doubts before but after all, the hostility and competition between the Falamo and Dior were obvious. Until now, Celine finally showed her fangs, and some ambiguous things became clear.
Originally, the feeling she gave was always a little sister who loved her brother and respected her father. Even if her supporter, who she chose randomly to complete the task, entered the final, it still seemed like pure luck. Now, it could be sure that all of these were carefully planned.
Neighbors who couldnt agree lose out to the third party. Celine was obviously the third party.
It was likely that Celine managed to obtain a list of candidates roughly selected by Old Gauss and intentionally leaked to Falamo through some methods. Falamo and Dior began to compete for candidates on the list. Originally, Robert had agreed to join Diors party, but he suddenly changed his mind. It was likely to be a mean by the third lady.
Old Gausss disappearance might be the same case. With Diors talent, after losing the Old Gausss plan, he could only choose Savice. In that way, both Dior and Falamo fell into the set trap because both Savice and Robert couldnt rival Horford and the heir would definitely be Celine.
However, things eventually changed unpredictably. Chen Rui coming out of nowhere made Celines plan deviate. In order to ensure her victory, she came here tonight.
Celine still smiled calmly, My two brothers and I have been very good since childhood. If master has no evidence, I hope you wont talk nonsense. Otherwise, no one will believe it.
Its true that few people will believe. I think I have finally realized your cleverness. Chen Rui laughed, The assassinations I encountered the other day must also be arranged by you. Unfortunately, you were probably wrong with your estimation of my strength. However, none of this matters in the face of actual interest. I have something important in the hands of Old Gauss. If hes dead, then I have to ask you for it If you dont have it, then we have nothing to talk about.
What is it? Tell me first. Perhaps I can help you find that Old Gauss.
Youve finally admitted? It seems that Old Gauss isnt dead, but hes under your control. Chen Rui smiled, This thing is very important to me. Before you kill him, you better interrogate him for the whereabouts. Maybe you can talk to me about the conditions later.
Later? Celine understood the meaning behind. She walked two steps, turned around and smiled with a faint chill, So, are you rejecting my conditions now? You are actually rejecting such a generous condition?
Chen Rui took a sip of wine and shook his head, As I said, Im very tempted over your conditions, but its exactly because Im tempted, I cant accept your conditions now as Im not good enough yet. Only after Ive become famous in the contest and a well-recognized master, I can only accept these conditions at an equal position with you. Until then, I cant believe in you. To be precise, I do not even believe in Dior.
This ambiguous answer surprised Celine, I dont quite understand what you mean. Since you say you are very tempted, but once you win the contest, doesnt the heir belong to Dior then?
Chen Rui put down his glass and sneered, I have no interest in who inherited the Custer Family. I only care about my own interests. If I can become famous with this contest, then even if you eat your words, Ill have more choices. In fact, even Dior becomes the heir, as long as he and Falamo disappear, along with the support of me, a famous master, wouldnt the Custer family be yours?
Celine was silenced, seemingly thinking.
In fact, from your perspective, this choice is good and harmless. Chen Rui sighed, If Horford wins tomorrow, you can directly become the heir. If Horford fails, as long as you have the sincerity to cooperate. With my help, you can still be the controller of the family.
Celines eyes narrowed slightly, It seems that master isnt only superior in craftsmanship, but you are also impressive in wisdom. Although you refused me, I still couldnt have a fallout with you at once.
Your conditions are too tempting, so I can only take it seriously. In fact, this choice is very risky for me because Im not sure I can defeat Horford just as he isnt sure that he can defeat me. As Chen Rui said, he looked at the shade in the courtyard, Master Horford, what do you say?
A stiff voice came, To be able to discover my existence, your strength is at least early Demon King.
Race: Wrath Royal Family. Comprehensive Strength Assessment: C; Physique: C-; Strength: D; Spirit: C; Dexterity C-.
Middle stage Demon King, and hes actually a Wrath Royal Family. I really wonder how Celine found this Horford.
Horford wasnt tall. He had a short cyan hair and a mustache. His eyes were particularly enchanting.
That discovery surprised Chen Rui. From the data, Horford should be a mage specialized in fire magic.
Demon King? A strange brialliane flashed past Celines eyes, No wonder thats surprising.
Unlike the royal family, a Demon King-level Great Demon must be of a mutated bloodline. Celines no wonder referred more to the reason for the failure of the assassination.
However, you said something wrong. Horfords tone revealed strong confidence, Youre not sure that you can defeat me, but I am completely sure that I can defeat you!
Really? Chen Rui raised his eyebrow, Dont say that too early. The higher you climb, the more painful you will fall.
Theres no point arguing now. I know youve reached the level of the master, but thats all. Horford said calmly, In the finals the day after tomorrow, I will let you see what a true mechanic master is!
Okay. Chen Rui toasted Horford, See you in the finals.
Horford snorted and turned away.
Im looking forward to it too. Celine gave him a deep glance, The day after tomorrow, will you bring devastation or amazement?
Soon after Celine left, Kia returned to the alternative residence with new clothes and beautiful jewelry.
Celine came here?
How do you know?
Dont imagine your assistant to be so incompetent, okay? Kia smiled, The reason she approached is just to know more about your preferences and information. This third lady isnt simply. Dior and Falamo have always been underestimating her.
Chen Rui said nothing else, but he praised, You look very beautiful in this dress.
Maybe, but I dont really like it. Im just giving her more time to talk to you about the conditions. When it comes to clothes I still prefer a more comfortable style.
Comfortable Chen Rui looked at the moon in the sky and sighed, It must be freedom.
Kias smile was a little bleak, but she didnt reply.
Chen Ruis tone became firm, If you can trust me, I will do my best to help you after this contest. Dont say any thats not important. Im just thinking about how to do it and execute it.
Im just a maid. Kia shook her head, Its not worth it.
Its worth it! Chen Rui looked at her quietly and said those words firmly. Without further comment, he walked into his room, but a strange feeling filled his heart. It was as if the words worth it werent just to probe her in his original purpose. Am I falling too deep in the play?
Kia was shocked. She felt that his back became a little fuzzy as she lowered her head. She stroked her wrist gently and a drop of tears landed on the anti-magic bracelet.
The highly anticipated final had finally begun.
No seats were left empty in the arena and the atmosphere was by no means comparable by the preliminary and semi-final. Many royals and nobles came. The Asmodeus Royal Family was full of handsome men and pretty women and became the most attractive scenery within the audience at once. However, the appearance of a VIP immediately dimmed the scenery.
The first sage and beauty in the Demon Realm, the supreme ruler of the Dark Shadow Empire, Catherine Asmodeus the Great!
Was Catherine the woman in the tent? If yes, would she recognize Chen Rui?
