Chapter 459 Why Don’t You Dare Look up at Me? (4400)

June 21, dusk.

In the northwest corner of the first district of Florence, there is an Augustus Duke Manor. It covers a vast area, the size of two horse farms.

The Duke Manor is surrounded by well-planted green meadows, and there are red, yellow and pink flower beds at intervals. And between the meadows and flower beds, neatly repaired and flat white stone roads lead directly to the three gates of the manor. And in front of the iron-cast black painted gate, several housekeepers wearing white shirts and black vests are waiting quietly, followed by a group of servants.

"Lululu..."

A luxurious and exquisite carriage drove from all directions of Florence, steady and fast. Nearly half of the carriages were engraved with various family emblems. There were swords and flowers, white giant bears, and two-headed tigers...

When the carriage drove to the gate of the manor, it would stop briefly. The curtain of the carriage slowly opened, and a pampered hand wearing a ring slowly stretched out and handed a white hard-covered invitation to the housekeeper. After that, the butler will instruct a servant behind him to lead the way to the carriage parking place.

It is about 5:30 in the afternoon, and the banquet will start at 6 o'clock.

At the east gate of the Duke's manor, an old butler stood quietly.

"Rumble..."

The sound of wheels rolling over the ground gradually approached.

A light black carriage slowly drove in and stopped at the gate of the manor. The light green curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a handsome young nobleman looked out of the window curiously. He had slightly curly brown hair, green eyes, and a high nose bridge. A circle of white lace collars surrounded his neck, and below was a satin-like noble costume with gold thread patterns.

Ta-ta-ta... The old butler on the side of the road came over.

He bowed appropriately and reached out to take the white invitation handed over by the young man. Looking down, it was Nian, the eldest son of Count Roland.

He will also be the heir to the earldom in the future.

The old butler closed the invitation and was about to speak. Another carriage drove over from the back of the road. There was a golden pattern on the surface of the carriage, which was the symbol of the royal family. He immediately handed the invitation to a middle-aged servant next to him. The servant quickly understood what the butler meant and immediately walked over in his place. The butler himself went to meet the royal carriage.

Ta-ta-ta... the horse's hooves stepped on the ground and gradually stopped.

The curtains were lifted, revealing a mighty and handsome face.

A head of golden hair as iconic as a lion's mane, with deep facial features. It was Soth of the royal family, who was once known as the Lion King. But now he doesn't look too good, his eyes are dim, and there are bloodshot around the edges. His lower eyelids are dark, and I don't know if it's due to lack of sleep or being addicted to alcohol and sex. In short, he looks like a languid lion.

After the competition for the Shadow Hunter seat ended, Soth's high spirits were no longer there, and even his self-confidence was completely crushed by Kaxiu's palm in the valley. Because that palm lion seal was made temporarily by Kaxiu imitating Soth's lion seal. And Sos was defeated by a familiar palm and was knocked away. He was crushed in the area where he was most confident and good at.

After the battle, Sos had to bear the consequences of overusing the holy spring water to improve his strength, and his mental state was quite unstable. So he used wine and sex to relieve his sorrow and anesthetize himself all day long for a while. During this period, he was in a completely decadent state. Sos didn't want to understand or know what happened in the outside world. It was not until a day or two ago that he eased out of this muddleheaded state and planned to go out to relax.

It happened that he received an invitation from Duke Augustus. A large banquet will be held here, and many friends will come, just as a way to relax.

So today, Sos, who had just walked out of the haze, came here.

On the white stone road, in the luxurious carriage, Sos handed a white invitation with gold thread patterns to the old butler waiting next to him. The old butler smiled, checked it as usual, and respectfully returned it to Sos.

"Mr. Sos, please."

In the manor, not far away, on the road

The light black carriage was moving slowly. The noble young man kept pulling the curtains and turned his head to look behind, looking unhappy. Nien felt that he was being despised and neglected. The young man could not suppress his inner emotions, and it was easy to show on his face. He looked at Soth's profile and muttered to himself.

"What's so great about it? It's just a drowned dog. It's just a dog raised by the royal family since childhood. Now that you have failed in the competition for the Shadow Hunter, I wonder if you can still be so powerful next time? Ha, you still want to marry the ninth princess Angela, dream on. This time the royal family also specially invited the second shadow hunter to the banquet, and the ninth princess Angela will also appear at that time. Hehe, it seems that the beauty is going to turn to someone else..."

Nien was gloating. He had heard a lot of gossip recently.

"..."

At the door, Soth, sitting on the soft cushion of the carriage, gradually became fierce, with sharp teeth at the corners of his mouth colliding and making a clicking sound. The bloodshot in his eyes was obviously denser, and his expression was full of hatred. Soth heard Nian's whisper. After all, he was a dark gold hunter who cultivated his physique. Even with the noise of the carriage, it was not difficult to hear clearly.

"Huahuahua..." The carriage that Soth was riding suddenly accelerated. The servant who led the way was confused and chased after him while shouting.

Because the servant led the way, Nian's carriage did not go far and was soon caught up and stopped by Soth's carriage. Nian lifted the window curtain and asked blankly what happened? Unexpectedly, as soon as he showed his head, he saw Soth sitting in the carriage next to him, looking at him fiercely. There was a circle of blood red on the edges of his eyes, and he looked like he was going to kill someone.

"No way, he heard it..." Nien's heart skipped a beat, but the next second, he stiffened his neck and glared back. Why is a drowned dog so arrogant in front of him? Sos has lost his potential and will never reach the level of Shadow Hunter. As long as he has not reached the level of Shadow Hunter, even a transcendent has no privileges against royal nobles. Not to mention that the Nien family is a count with real power, not a low-level noble. Sos is strong, but he must abide by the royal rules and cannot attack his own people.

Otherwise, the royal family will deal with a white-eyed wolf by themselves.

Facing him, Sos's murderous intent rolled in his heart, and he could not control his emotions. The side effects of excessive use of holy spring water appeared again. He narrowed his eyes and suppressed his anger: "Just wait..."

"Just wait, I've been annoyed with you for a long time! The ninth princess Angela is coming to the banquet today, did you know? Hehe, a friend of mine told me a piece of news. The royal family wants to marry the ninth princess Angela to that Blood Fist Lord to win him over. Are you happy?"

Nien broke the jar and broke it. He has never been a young man with a good temper. He has always been famous for his straightforwardness and impulsiveness in the aristocratic circle.

Now facing the downtrodden Soth, Nien did not hide it. He started to talk nonsense directly, and his eyes even had a trace of pity, which was quite irritating.

"You... are looking for death!"

Soth's eyes were wide open, and a strong momentum burst out from his body.

At this moment, two carriages drove over quickly on the white stone road, one after the other. The curtain of the carriage behind opened, and a young man with delicate features and brown hair shouted to the carriage in front: "Don't drive so fast. Bloody Fist, I talked a little too much, but you don't have to avoid me like this. We are both shadow hunters, can't we communicate more?"

In the pure black carriage in front, a strong and tall figure leaned on the seat with a blank expression. He even said coldly to the coachman: "Drive faster." However, the coachman reported to the inside with some helplessness: "Sir, we have arrived at the gate of the manor, and we have to pass the iron gate..."

Kaxiu frowned, but didn't say anything in the end. About six or seven minutes ago, his carriage just bumped into the carriage of Aaron, the fifth shadow hunter. Aaron immediately came up to say hello, looking very familiar. Kaxiu just responded casually and regretted it on the spot. Aaron was too talkative, and he kept talking when he opened his mouth, which reminded him of the noisy crow. Moreover, this person can talk without the other party responding. He can even pick up his own words and continue talking. Kaxiu didn't want to be entangled, so he asked the carriage to go faster.

The result is the current situation.

In fact, although Aaron is a self-acquainted and optimistic person, he doesn't pester people to talk. The reason why he approached Kaxiu was actually the order of the Black Agency Chief. As the second dark hunter and the dean of the treatment hospital, Kaxiu has always been too lonely and mysterious, and he acts independently.

As long as the goals are the same, the Black Agency Chief can tolerate the other party. However, a communication channel must be established between the treatment hospital and the Dark Hunter Headquarters. The Black Agency Chief must know Kaxiu's thoughts, what the treatment hospital is doing, and what actions are about to be launched. The Dark Hunter Headquarters can cooperate, deal with the aftermath, and clean up the situation to control the development of the situation.

Therefore, the Black Agency Chief chose Aaron, who is eloquent, to manage the relationship. However, Kaxiu likes quietness, so this move has a bit of a negative effect. At least, on the way to the manor, Kaxiu didn't like chatting with others across the carriage, which seemed a bit stupid.

When the banquet started, Kaxiu would give the other party a chance. He had actually guessed Aaron's intentions and the thoughts of the Black Organizer.

After all, an important organization of the Hunter Association was completely controlled by others, just like a one-man show. As the leader of the Dark Hunter Organization, there was nothing wrong with the behavior of the Black Organizer. Kaxiu had actually been expressing goodwill to the other party, such as allowing the Black Organizer's niece Claire to participate in the operation to encircle and suppress the Eclipse Society branch. In front of the common enemy, the dark creatures and the Gate Organization, the two sides were definitely partners.

Kaxiu didn't want to break up with the Dark Hunter Organization, which would not be good.

Two carriages drove to the gate of the manor, one in front and one behind. On the carriage behind, Aaron looked back angrily, muttering: "So cold? It seems that I have to get in touch with him and grind him a little when the banquet starts. The task given to me by the Organizer Master is a bit difficult..."

He shook his head, his expression a little helpless. Aaron thought that he was enthusiastic enough just now, and almost called each other brothers. But the other party responded with a few words that were neither salty nor bland, which was really a bit of a blow. I don’t know if Aaron would dare to call each other brothers if he knew that the destruction waterfall that almost destroyed half of the mountain was caused by Kaxiu. That horrific battle scared Aaron a lot. He hid far away and was almost swallowed up by the terrible aftermath.

For many days afterwards, Aaron had nightmares. The scene in the dream was that he returned to the mountain battlefield, and he was running wildly in the woods, with the destruction waterfall approaching rapidly behind him. He was horrified and desperate...

Sometimes he woke up from a dream and broke out in a cold sweat. He secretly swore in his heart that he would never step into such a horrible and dangerous situation again in his life, and stay away from these crises. However, at this moment, Aaron was actually actively contacting the source of the danger that day. They were quite enthusiastic and kept sticking to me. I couldn't get rid of the source of danger.

I can only say that things are unpredictable. The less you think about something, the more it will happen.

However, Aaron didn't know that Kaxiu was the instigator that day, and he was kept in the dark. This kind of confused ignorance is actually quite good.

"Lululu..." The two carriages moved forward and soon arrived at the gate.

On the moving slide, the dark green curtain was lifted to the side.

A big hand with distinct joints held the gold-plated black invitation and placed it on the edge of the window. The old butler standing aside was stunned, and immediately bowed respectfully, without taking the invitation. Instead, he made a gesture to invite him in, and personally stepped forward to lead the way for the black carriage.

The invitations of the Duke of Augustus's family are divided into grades. Ordinary nobles have white invitations, and royal members have golden lines on them. The most precious is the gold-plated black invitation, which is specially prepared for the dark hunter-level strongmen in the extraordinary world. When the other party comes, there is no need to check the content of the invitation or verify the identity. Just show the color of the invitation, and the manor butler will personally lead the way and provide special services respectfully.

Ta-ta-ta... Aaron's carriage also stopped.

He showed his gold-stamped black invitation, and the old butler was embarrassed. However, Aaron was very familiar with the manor of Duke Augustus's family, and waved his hand directly. He said that he knew where the parking lot was.

Immediately, the old butler led the way in front with a vigorous pace.

The two carriages followed slowly behind, and the wheels rolled.

Kaxiu hugged his hands in front of his chest, looking at the scenery outside the window with indifferent eyes. Even if he did nothing, he exuded a sense of domineering and domineering. It made people think of majesty and fear.

On the wide road ahead, Sosnian's dispute had stopped.

Swish...

The black carriage passed the two people's vehicles. Sos's heart was surging with uncontrollable anger. He felt humiliated and felt the gap. And now the person who made him so painful was right next to him, enjoying the same treatment as a VIP. How could Sos not be angry? He didn't even care about Nian.

He turned his head suddenly, his bloodshot eyes full of hatred, staring fiercely at Kaxiu's cold face. The slightly twisted expression seemed to be cannibalistic. However, when Soth's eyes met Kaxiu's, his sight was swallowed by the deep blue eyes. There seemed to be a black vortex in the other's pupils, deep, scary, mysterious, and hiding a monster.

Once the monster rushed out, unimaginable horror would come. Soth shuddered suddenly, and his boiling anger seemed to be poured with a basin of ice water. He lowered his eyes and dared not look at Kaxiu. His Adam's apple moved, swallowing saliva, and a deep fear invaded his bones.

"What's wrong? Why don't you dare look up at me?"

"I like the look in your eyes just now, as if there is an angry lion hidden in it. Poor, cowardly, trembling young lion..."

"Your mental state is not very normal. If you have time, you can come to my treatment center to sit down. There is a place called the Wild Beast's Nest, and an interrogation team called Ji Tou Si has just been stationed there. You will like it..."

Beside the car window, Kaxiu said dark words with an expressionless face. His tone was so ordinary, but the content was creepy and chilling.

"Go to the Wild Beast's Nest in the treatment center and sit down." Isn't that being arrested and imprisoned by the violent doctors in the treatment center as a mentally ill wild animal patient? No one wants to go to that kind of place, no one!
