Chapter 3960 Vera's Doubts
After a moment of silence.
"After waiting for so long, has that person replied to you?"
Vera asked softly while stirring the coffee with a spoon.
Liz shook her head: "Not yet."
Not long after Vera asked her to meet at the cafe, Liz revealed the information about "Angel".
This was what Angel had instructed before. Once Vera came to ask her, she didn't need to hide it.
After Vera learned about the name "Angel", although she was confused, she didn't ask immediately, but hoped that Liz could help contact.
Liz naturally didn't dare to refuse. Before, she took the opportunity to go to the toilet and activated the nightmare illusion to try to contact Angel.
But until now, Angel still hasn't replied to her.
Vera nodded calmly, without showing impatience, but asked with a little curiosity: "What kind of person is he?"
Although Liz revealed the name "Angel" and stated that it was Angel who asked her to help find the information about "Alfred".
But other information was not revealed at all.
Lizzie pondered, "... a respectable person."
Respect? Vera raised her eyebrows.
She thought of many possibilities, such as Lizzie would say that he was handsome, elegant and eloquent, humorous and witty... They correspond to deceiving the body, ears, and heart respectively.
This is also Vera's subconscious image of Angel. Because in her opinion, Vera is a rational person, she would choose to help Angel, and she must have been deceived.
But what she didn't expect was that Lizzie's answer was very different from what she imagined.
"Respect." Vera raised the corner of her lips, "This answer is very interesting."
Either Angel is really respectable, or... Angel's deception skills need to be improved.
The former is not considered, because if there really is such a person who can make Lizzie respect, it is impossible for him to be unknown.
And the name "Angel" is something Vera has never heard of in the magician circle.
So, Vera still believes that Angel is most likely a big liar who deceives the world and steals his reputation.
Of course, Vera did not immediately determine whether it was as she guessed. She would know after she met Angel.
"Why do you think he is worthy of respect?" Vera looked at Lizzie: "What did he do that made you feel respectful?"
Lizzie hesitated for a moment, but still replied: "What I did these days, the corpses I found, were actually revealed to me by him."
"If it weren't for him, I would have no idea that the sin was buried in front of me."
Under the corridors where I walk every day, there are corpses being trampled every day.
In the walls where I pass every day, there are bones sealed in mud.
Even on the ceiling, there are wronged souls who can't close their eyes and look down at the people in Tina Building.
These, Lizzie didn't know at all in the past. If Angel hadn't told her, she might have been kept in the dark and continued to trample and ignore those wronged souls.
"Tell you about the crimes." Vera took a sip of coffee: "For you, there is indeed reason to respect you. However, have you ever thought about why he knew these hiding places of crimes? Have you ever thought that he might come from other organizations to alienate Tina Entertainment? Don't forget the chaos five years ago."
Faced with Vera's suddenly raised tone and unexpected questioning, Lizzie was a little stunned.
But soon, she shook her head again: "No, Angel is not such a person."
As for how he is not, she couldn't say.
But from the bottom of her heart, Lizzie believed in Angel, which was an unshakable anchor.
Vera didn't know that Lizzie had the anchor set by Angel in her heart. She looked at Lizzie's delusional and unrefuting look, and her understanding of Angel as a liar became deeper and deeper.
But there is still a doubt that has not been solved.
"Did he mention why he went to investigate Alfred?" Vera asked.
Angel is most likely a liar, and his target should be Alfred. But, what exactly is he doing looking for information about Alfred? Did he find something?
Vera stared at Liz, and the atmosphere, which had been relaxed before, became tense again.
Even Liz felt a sense of terror.
Under this pressure, Liz was a little speechless for a moment.
At this moment, a voice suddenly echoed in their ears.
"It's better to ask me directly than to ask Liz."
Accompanied by the sparse voice of the young man, a figure suddenly appeared at the coffee table.
Before this, Vera didn't even feel that someone was approaching.
Her originally elegant and calm expression was obviously paused at this time. The strength of the person who could approach so quietly should not be underestimated... Moreover, from his words, it seems that he has revealed his identity. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Angel mentioned by Liz.
Vera's thoughts were flying, but they were not superficial.
To outsiders, she just raised her head slightly, glanced at the young man who suddenly appeared, and then continued to add sugar and milk and stirred the coffee in her hand.
"Sir!" Liz stood up in surprise.
Angel, or more precisely, the "second illusion body" created by the nightmare on Lizzie, smiled and nodded at Lizzie.
"Are you Angel?" Vera continued to smile elegantly, and she was as graceful as an old-fashioned lady in the palace.
Angel smiled and nodded: "Yes, I am Angel."
Angel turned around and stretched out his hand to Vera: "Nice to meet you, Ms. Vera."
Vera did not extend her hand, but just looked at Angel silently, as if evaluating whether he was qualified to shake hands with her.
Angel was not annoyed, but added in a whisper: "Or, His Majesty the Dark Lord."
Vera was still pretending to be pretentious and using Joe to build momentum. After hearing Angel's whisper, Vera's expression changed instantly and stared at Angel.
Angel smiled but did not say anything, just raised the corner of his eyes and nodded slightly.
Vera's lips moved, but in the end she said nothing, and stretched out her hand to Angel and then withdrew.
Then she pointed to the seat next to her, motioning Angel to sit down.
Angel sat down next to Lizzie without hesitation.
When they were at eye level, Vera finally saw Angel's face clearly. He was young and handsome, with unruly and elegant features in his eyes, like the combination of sunlight and moonlight.
It must be said that his appearance was excellent, but what attracted more attention was his temperament.
Such a person, in a fashion show, is no longer the clothes that complement him, but he shows off the clothes.
However, it was precisely because of his excellent temperament that Vera was even more confused.
Logically speaking, such a face and temperament should not be unknown.
Why, never heard of before?
The most important thing is that Vera had never heard of Angel's name, but Angel knew her very well, even knowing the hidden identity of the "King of Darkness".
You know, even the core members of the Fashion Guild don't know this identity.
The only one who knows this is each noble knight.
The previous noble knight has gone to the dark corner, and now there is only the current noble knight... Could it be that he leaked it?
"I've heard Lizzie mention you before. I didn't expect that Mr. Angell, whom Lizzie respects, is so young." Vera took the initiative to speak, trying to grasp the direction of the conversation first.
Angell did not answer immediately, but said to Lizzie: "Ms. Vera and I have something to talk about privately."
Lizzie immediately realized: "Okay, then I'll go outside first."
After Lizzie finished speaking, she stood up and walked away quickly, even walking out with a feeling of impatience.
She also felt very uncomfortable with the atmosphere here, especially after Angell suddenly "flashed", the aura around Vera seemed to be getting more and more stagnant.
So Angell hinted that she should leave, and she was relieved.
After Lizzie left, Angell looked at Vera: "In this case, we don't have to make small talk."
"It's just right, I don't like small talk either." Vera had put down the coffee cup at this time, with her hands on her legs, looking still elegant, but Angell could see that every inch of her muscles were tense, as if ready to fight at any time.
Angel: "Don't be so nervous. Since I'm here to see you, I won't make a big fuss."
"I've never heard of your name in the magic circle, but you know a lot of things." Vera: "The aura of fashion magic is weak, almost non-existent, but the figure is floating as if it doesn't exist."
Please collect the book!
"All these abilities don't seem to be the means of Modern City."
A sharp flash flashed in Vera's eyes: "So, you should be from another city. You are obviously from another city, but you are so concerned about the information of Modern City. Could it be that the organization behind you also wants to settle in Modern City?"
Faced with Vera's questioning, Angel did not answer immediately, but said: "Everything should follow the rules of balance. I can answer any questions you have, but in exchange, you also need to pay the corresponding price."
In fact, Angel can use nightmare illusion to control Vera.
Just like Lizzie, set an internal anchor point.
But the premise of all this is that his real body must be here... Just an illusion body, there is no way to set an anchor point.
So, Angel chose to talk.
Just like when he communicated with Zuniga, facing a big man with dual identities as the "King of Darkness" and the "former president of the Fashion Guild", Angel gave her more respect and choice.
Vera looked at Angel quietly: "You are the first person who dares to talk to me like this in the past few decades."
Angel did not respond: "So what is Ms. Vera's choice?"
Vera: "Two points. As long as you agree to these two points, I can have an equal exchange with you."
Angel: "You say it first, and then I'll see if I can agree."
Vera: "First, I can't confirm whether what you said is true. I need you to stay in the "flow" throughout the process when answering my questions."
"What is flow?" Angel asked doubtfully.
Vera: "Flow is a fashion magic from the eye of the heart, which can determine whether you are lying. "
In theory, with Vera's status and position, she doesn't need to care about the equal exchange of a small person.
The reason why she "condescended" to agree with Angel was that Angel's mystery "shocked" her, and she didn't want to get into a confrontation before she knew Angel's origins.
Secondly, in normal communication, it was difficult for her to judge whether Angel was telling the truth. But if Angel could stay in the flow, she would not worry about the other party deceiving him.
In this case, she didn't mind a certain degree of "equal exchange" with Angel.
Angel had never heard of the Eye of the Heart, but from his super perception, he was sure that Vera was not lying.
A fashionable monster with the magic of truth?
"Okay." Angel nodded indifferently.
Vera didn't expect Angel to agree so readily. She thought about it and said, "Second, if you want to have an equal exchange with me, you have to let me know what you want from me first."
Angel smiled and said, "Okay. I can agree to both of these points, but since you mentioned two points, how about I also mention two points?"
Vera nodded without comment.
Angel: "First, I will answer your questions in your flow... any questions. But the premise is that you can only ask three questions."
"Three questions are too few." Vera immediately retorted.
Angel smiled and did not argue.
Vera: "Five questions."
Angel was silent, his eyes were calm, but Vera felt an unquestionable firmness.
"Okay, just three questions." Vera thought about it and finally decided to agree with Angel.
"Second, you can't set a trap for Lizzie in any way." Angel: "She has nothing to do with me and the organization behind me. You can also use the heart flow to verify this point later."
Vera nodded without hesitation this time: "Okay."
Angel: "Since we all agree, let's start now?"
Vera: "What price do you want me to pay first?"
Angel smiled, stretched out a finger and said: "It's very simple, I hope you will fully support the holding of the Prada beauty show."
Vera guessed many possibilities, but she didn't expect Angel to make this request.
She just felt funny after hearing it.
"You want me, a member of the Fashion Guild, to support the Prada beauty show?" Vera pointed at herself: "Are you sure you are not kidding?"
Angel's expression was calm.
Vera stared at him for several seconds, confirming that his eyes were full of solemnity, and then continued: "Are you really not kidding?"
"Of course not."
"Since you know my true identity, you still ask me to support the Prada beauty show?" Even though Angel's expression was serious, Vera still felt it was ridiculous.
"Let alone the Prada beauty show, I can't even support the Dark Competition in my public capacity, let alone do it with all my strength."
Angel: "I think you may have misunderstood. What I mean by full support is not that you should contribute to the Prada beauty show."
"But I hope you can stop the objections of the Fashion Guild and the Dark Round Table."
If it was before, the Prada beauty show would have evolved into a "sex show", and the top leaders of the Fashion Guild would definitely not stop it, and would even be happy to see the beauty show's degeneration.
But when Prada Media found the Carnival Night Clown and began to seriously organize the beauty show, the Fashion Guild would definitely trip up when they learned of the news.
Therefore, what Angel wanted was that Vera, with her authority, would try to stop the Fashion Guild from making any moves against Prada Media.
Moreover, Vera was the person behind the Dark Round Table—the Dark King.
She could even influence the Dark Round Table’s decision.
Although, who could tell whether the Dark Round Table would necessarily make trouble for Prada Media?
In short, Vera’s identity was very useful.
“Just stop the people inside from causing trouble for the Prada beauty show?” Vera asked suspiciously.
Angel nodded.
“Don’t you need me to help Prada?”
“Preventing trouble from happening is already the biggest help.”
After hearing this, Vera hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: “Okay.”
For her, these were just one sentence of instructions, and it didn’t even take much effort to accomplish them.
However, Vera was very curious, why did Angel make such a strange request?
