Chapter 787: The Battle Is over, the Volturi Arrive (1/2)
"This is your last chance to make a choice. Do you want to become my favored one?" Aaron looked at her and chuckled. "You have thirty seconds to think about it.
If you agree, I can save him. This is my advance payment to you.
If you don't agree, time will resume flowing, and your beloved's neck will be broken in five seconds at most."
Hearing this, Bella looked at Edward with a worried look.
He was looking at her with an apologetic look at this moment. She could read this look, which was the guilt and self-blame for not being able to protect her.
"What should I do?" Bella said to herself in a lost state.
"You have twenty seconds."
Bella suddenly thought of something and quickly picked up a sharp stone on the snow.
She pierced her arm with the stone, and the bright red blood flowed down her arm.
"You are..." Aaron raised his eyebrows in surprise, then looked back at the three vampires, as if he understood something, "Are you so unwilling to become my Blessed One?"
"I don't want to become a god, and I can't bear that responsibility.
But for him, I can give it a try." Bella took a deep breath, "If this can save him, then please forgive me for rejecting your favor. If it can't save him, I agree to become your Blessed One, but you must ensure Edward's safety."
"Deal."
Aaron snapped his fingers with a "click" sound, and time resumed flowing.
Hiss!
The smell of blood instantly attracted Riley and Victoria. They looked at Bella at the same time and subconsciously stopped their actions.
Edward seized the opportunity and shook his arms hard to break free from the two.
He first threw Victoria away, and then turned around and threw Riley in another direction.
Before Riley could get up, the werewolf Seth, who had just regained consciousness, pounced on him, bit his shoulder and dragged him back.
"Victoria, Victoria, Victoria..." Riley desperately called for help, but Victoria just glanced at him and ignored him.
Riley was a tool she created for revenge, and his life or death was of no importance to her.
At this moment, Riley finally recognized the reality. Edward told him the truth at the beginning, but he did not believe it.
But it was too late now, and he was destined to die in the mouth of the werewolf.
Victoria stared at Bella, and was surprised to find that there was a person beside her.
But she didn't think so much. This revenge failed completely, and she had to get away as soon as possible.
As soon as Victoria turned around, Edward's fist hit her in the face.
She resisted instinctively and wrestled with Edward, but soon he locked her neck with his backhand.
The powerful force caused cracks on her chin. She struggled violently with Edward's arm with difficulty, and was barely alive.
Edward used her neck as the axis and threw Victoria out with an over-the-shoulder throw.
Before she landed, Edward teleported behind her at a very fast speed, grabbed her neck and made close contact with the ground.
Then he lifted Victoria up and bit off her neck.
"Tsk tsk tsk! So cruel." Aaron looked at the female vampire Victoria whose body was separated, and couldn't help curling his lips, "This is a worthy death. After all, she fell on the road of revenge for her lover."
"Miss Isabella Swan, I have to say that you made a decision that will make you regret for the rest of your life."
"Huh!" Bella was relieved, "I thought you would appreciate my courage!"
Edward took a few deep breaths, then walked up to Bella and tore off a section of her shirt and wrapped the wound on her arm.
Seth also came over with a low roar, indicating that Riley had been torn into pieces by him.
"Is there a situation?" Bella asked.
"Alice wants us to go over, now." Edward said in a serious tone, then took out a lighter, lit it and threw it on Victoria's body.
The flames burned fiercely, the heat waves were rising, and Victoria's body turned into ashes at a speed visible to the naked eye under the high temperature.
"Excellent fire starter!" Aaron said with emotion, "It's a pity that the flames burning the body are too disgusting and hard to swallow."
"Will wizards eat fire?" Bella asked curiously.
"Well... a very small number of them should."
......
The Cullens collected the bodies of all the newborn vampires and burned them. Wisps of black smoke floated out from the red flames.
However, they were unscathed and had no joy of victory. Instead, they were more serious, as if waiting for something.
"How long will it take?" Edward hurried down the mountain and asked hurriedly.
Alice, who had a premonition of the future, came back to her senses, "A few minutes, about ten minutes."
"The wolf pack must leave. The Volturi family will not like the truce agreement with the werewolves."
As soon as the voice fell, a newborn who had escaped the net jumped out from behind a rock.
Roar!
A silver-gray giant wolf pounced directly and bit him.
Edward subconsciously read the newborn's thoughts and immediately shouted, "Leah, don't."
Bang!
With a crisp sound, a black hole appeared on the newborn's forehead.
Then his body burned rapidly, and in an instant it turned into ashes and dissipated in the air.
Aaron put away the revolver as if nothing had happened, and then looked at the astonished werewolves and vampires, "What are you looking at? Times have changed a long time ago."
"Bullets can actually kill vampires?"
Bella swallowed in disbelief, and the others were also confused.
It's not that they haven't come into contact with hot weapons, but bullets are fired by people with guns after all, and they can't hit vampires at all. Even if they hit, they will only slow down the speed of movement and can't cause any damage at all. The scene just now is really a bit subversive.
"Alchemical bullets." Aaron said lightly, "After all, they are somewhat different from ordinary weapons."
"Jacob, take your people away from here quickly." Edward hurriedly said to the brown giant wolf, "The Volturi family will be here soon."
Jacob paused for a moment, and the wolf head turned towards the woods. All the werewolves ran into the jungle in less than two seconds.
"Who is this?" Aaron looked at the female vampire behind the Cullen family with interest. This was also a newborn and looked less than twenty years old.
"She surrendered. She is a poor child." Esme explained, "Carlisle and I decided to accept her."
"Haha!" Aaron sneered, then looked at the burning flames, "I'm afraid none of these people are not pitiful.
Maybe they deserve sympathy, but not pity. The law enforcers in your blood clan will not allow her to live."
"We have to give it a try." Esme said a little unconfidently.
"You can't stay here either, human..." Edward's voice stopped abruptly. After all, the one standing in front of them had already left the category of human in a sense, and was not afraid of the Volturi family at all.
"Don't worry, they can't find me." Aaron said confidently, "and I am also somewhat interested in this so-called law enforcement family."
"Don't you mean you can't use magic casually?" Alice asked puzzled.
"What do you mean you can't use magic casually? You can't use it casually if you are sure you won't be discovered, but... you should try not to use it if you can." Aaron said as he took out a bottle of potion from the space ring, "Invisibility potion, as the name suggests, it can make people invisible after drinking it."
Alice blinked and shut up tactfully.
Aaron opened the bottle cap and was about to take the potion when he suddenly thought of something and turned his head to look at the panicked newborn who was waiting for the judgment of fate, "It's best not to expose my existence, understand?"
The newborn was at a loss and nodded in a daze.
"Very good." Aaron drank the invisibility potion, and his body immediately became transparent, as if he had never appeared.
"They are coming."
After a while, Alice suddenly said.
Three men and one woman suddenly appeared in front of them. They all wore hoods and had red blood eyes.
The four of them slowly walked to the front of the Cullen family and took off their hoods.
The beautiful and charming blonde girl Jane, who was in the lead, looked at them calmly, "It's very exciting. I haven't seen any tribe that can escape from such a fierce attack."
"It's just luck." Carlisle said calmly.
"I doubt it."
"It seems that we missed an interesting battle," said Alec, who was a little childish next to Jane.
"Yeah! It seems that we have suddenly become insignificant."
"If you came half an hour earlier, you would have got what you wanted." Edward said.
"What a pity." Jane didn't care, and then looked at the newborn who was protected by the Cullens, "You left one behind."
The Cullens exchanged glances, and Carlisle, as the head of the family, stood up, "We agree to her surrender and will take her in."
"You are not qualified."
The newborn's nervous eyes evaded, and his breathing became disordered because of the oppressive atmosphere.
"Why are you here?" Jane stared at the newborn.
The newborn opened his mouth slightly, and just as he was about to say something, he felt the flames burning his body, and screamed in pain.
She fell to the ground and screamed in pain, and no one around dared to come forward to help.
"Who created you?"
"You don't have to torture her." Esme said, "She will tell you everything you want to know."
"I know." Jane said lightly, and stopped using her ability at the same time.
The newborn paused for a while and said incoherently: "I don't know, Riley didn't tell us, he said our minds are not safe."
"Her name is Victoria, you may know her." Edward said meaningfully.
"Edward." Carlisle winked at him, "If the Volturi knew about Victoria, they would stop her.
Right! Jane."
"Of course." Jane said, then looked at the big guy next to her, "Felix."
Felix stepped forward, and Esme immediately said, "Ignorance is innocent, we will be responsible for her."
"Give her a chance." Carlisle followed.
"The Volturi will not grant a second chance, this must be remembered." Jane said as a matter of course, and then looked at Bella who was protected in Edward's arms, "If Carus knew that she was still human, he would be very interested."
"The date has been set." Bella said nervously. Only when she was transformed into a vampire would the Volturi family take their eyes off her.
Jane paused for two seconds with an expressionless face, "Leave it to you, Felix.
I want to go home."
Felix stepped forward, and the Cullens silently made way.
He picked up the newborn lying on the ground and twisted off her head amid her panicked screams.
After killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, the four vampires of the Volturi family left without looking back.
Aaron showed up and sighed as he looked at the corpse of the newborn. "The strong prey on the weak. This is an eternal law. I have understood this a long time ago."
"This matter is not over yet." Edward said in a deep voice, "The Volturi family is attracted by Alice's and my talents, especially Alice's ability to predict the future. They will not give up.
This time they let Victoria build an army to destroy the Cullen family.
Jane and the others will come to the rescue at the critical moment when others die, so Alice and I will have to join them."
"The law enforcers of the vampire family!" Aaron didn't care. "It is understandable that you are willful with little power. After all, your family, which has only existed for a few hundred years, is just an ant in front of the Volturi family, which has existed for thousands of years. You should be thankful that the Volturi still care about their face.
What they did was within the scope allowed by the rules. Otherwise, if they robbed people directly, you wouldn't be able to stop them, right?"
Hearing this, everyone was speechless.
The Volturi family's working style is indeed unpleasant, but in a sense they did nothing wrong. They just wanted to make the best use of Victoria and her newborn army.
"What a pity. If Isabella or Miss Alice were willing to become my followers, there would be no need to worry." Aaron teased, "But it's too late for you to regret it now. I have a better candidate."
"Who?" Rosalie asked curiously.
"It's not you, nor anyone in the Cullen family." Aaron smiled meaningfully, "The vampire from the Volturi family who led the group just now."
"Jane?" Edward's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Aaron in disbelief, "Don't tell me you're attracted to her."
"Well... I knew she was the one I was looking for the first time I saw her.
She is absolutely beautiful and charming, full of charm, noble and elegant, and very capable, and meets my selection criteria.
And the prophecy is that my followers will be related to Isabella, which means her enemies."
"But Jane is the leader of the Volturi family guards, and she is highly regarded by the clan leader Aro." Carlisle said seriously, "She only listens to Aro and will not submit to you."
"As long as the price I offer is high enough, I should be able to get her." Aaron touched his chin and thought, "As long as Aro is dealt with.
He is the head of the clan, and he will definitely not be as short-sighted as Bella and Alice. He will definitely not miss the opportunity to trade with me."
