Chapter 18 After the Banquet
When Alice and the others heard the movement and rushed over, they saw a messy bedroom, but fortunately, Xiao Ruo and Anthony were safe and sound.
"Rachel, good thing you're okay! I'm going to have to strengthen your protection, the people outside didn't react at all, I must punish them!" Alice let out a sigh of relief, then exasperated.
"Okay Alice, don't blame them, these people seem to know a lot about this place, and they are also very professional." Xiao Ruo comforted.
Hearing Xiao Ruo's words, Alice frowned slightly, and couldn't help but have some heavier doubts in her heart, but she didn't say anything, and made up her mind to let Charlie check it out. This is the second attack, and after the last investigation, nothing has been found, and this time it must be more cautious and careful.
"Who are these people?" Alice asked, looking at the assailants in the bedroom.
Anthony replied, "It's the Wind Mercenary Squad."
Alice looked back at Charlie and asked.
Charlie quickly replied: "The Wind Squad is an international mercenary, a total of seven people, with medium and upper strength, and the leader Wade is a sixth-level wind ability. Among the rest of the people, there are two fire and one ice, although their strength is not strong, they have a good relationship with some underground arms companies, and their firepower is strong. After speaking, he also glanced at the rocket launcher on the ground.
After a pause, Charlie continued: "The wind has close ties with some ** armed forces in the Middle East, and generally does not come to Europe."
Anthony also speculated: "Wade said that someone hired them, and it seems that they paid a lot of money."
Alice's brows froze, and her whole body exuded a fierce momentum: "Who is so bold as to hire a murderer to harm the people of my Langton family!"
Xiao Ruo spread his hands: "I was actually about to ask just now, no, I was sniped." As he spoke, he bowed to the leading man.
"The snipers in the back should not be the same as these people, and it is not clear whether they were sent by the mercenaries themselves or hired separately." Anthony said.
"The sniper probably ran away, so I didn't let anyone chase me." Xiao Ruo added.
"I'm going to send someone to search the neighborhood." Charlie saw Alice's eyes and said immediately.
Alice nodded: "Don't let go of any clues."
"Anthony should go and help too." Xiao Ruo said to Anthony beside him.
"Yes, Xiu."
Anthony owes himself and opens the door with Charlie and walks out.
Looking around the miserable room, Alice said, "Rachel, you have to change bedrooms, come with me, you should be tired today, let Charlie and Anthony do these things."
Xiao Ruo nodded, and the waves of unevenness rose again and again, and she did feel tired.
Alice stayed in Xiao Ruo's new bedroom for a long time, until she watched her cover the quilt and close her eyes, then turned off the lights for her, and then walked out.
Although she didn't believe that there would be another person, Alice still sent more people around Xiao Ruo's room.
Today's incident made her very confused, and she also had the same guess as Xiao Ruo, there was a problem in the family. As for who it is, she also has a candidate in mind, and it depends on Charlie's findings.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"Alice, where are we going?" Looking at the completely unfamiliar scenery around the car, Xiao Ruo asked curiously.
It has been three days since I came back from London, and the day after tomorrow is the time of the banquet, and the investigation in the past few days has been in a difficult situation, and with the ability of Charlie and Anthony, who have received special training, they have not been able to find out who is behind the scenes, Alice and Xiao Ruo are greatly surprised by this.
And the object of Alice's suspicion is normal, so that she can't be sure if it's the person she thinks, so she can only guard tightly to prevent this kind of thing from happening again. Fortunately, Xiao Ruo has already returned to the castle, and with the defense here, ordinary people can't come in, maybe they can only wait for the people behind the scenes to jump out by themselves.
Xiao Ruo also told Alice that the two attacks might not be the same group of people, which made her even more distressed, and she also knew in her heart that it was a big reason for the Langton family, and she apologized a lot to Xiao Ruo.
Xiao Ruo didn't care too much, thinking that it would be better if there was another such thing, and they would just catch it all, with her ability, no matter how much she came, she would just deliver food.
"Today I will take you to meet the guardian of the family, he was cultivating some time ago, and he only informed me yesterday that I would come out for a period of time." Alice answers Xiao Ruo's question at the beginning.
"Guardians?" Xiao Ruo was a little stunned. She just said, she has always wondered that the huge Langton family is the strongest in Charlie and a few ninth-level abilities, which is too inconsistent with the status of the Langton family in Europe.
"Yes, his name is Joe. Langton. He is a super-level powerhouse, and he generally does not appear, and only comes forward when the family is in a major crisis, so you haven't seen him. But now that you are my heir, you must meet him. ”
"What kind of man is he?"
"He's a bit serious. Don't be nervous, Rachel, he's just serious, but very reasonable, and he won't embarrass you. Alice comforted Xiao Ruo, who had a somewhat bad face.
"So what should I do?" Serious? Xiao Ruo was a little depressed, and it sounded like it was difficult to deal with.
"You're the future head of the house, rachel. Although he is the guardian of the family, he also serves the family, you just need to do it to Charlie as usual. However, it is still necessary to be more respectful, after all, he has a high status in the family and is also very important to the family. Alice explained.
Xiao Ruo nodded, indicating understanding.
The car circled around the castle for a long time before it came to a stop in front of a single building that looked quite old.
Xiao Ruo got out of the car after Alice, took a closer look at the building, and found that there was a faint shadow of Chinese architecture. The flying eaves are carved with Chinese dragons and phoenixes, and the roof is also glazed tiles.
"Found out?" Alice looked at the eaves with Xiao Ruo's eyes, "Joe also likes Chinese culture, these are designed and transformed by himself, how about it, not bad?"
In fact, it was a bit nondescript, Xiao Ruo shook his head in his heart. Love Chinese culture? Not necessarily. Alice probably can also see the problem with the house, why do you ask that? Looks like Joe is happy with his work.
"Well, that's good." Xiao Ruo said against his will.
"The teacher must be very happy to hear the praise of the show." A young man waiting in front of the door smiled.
Xiao Ruoxun followed the prestige, the man had short dark blonde hair and a tight-fitting training suit, showing the man's beautiful figure. But the gaze he looked at Xiao Ruo made her very uncomfortable, and she always felt a deep hostility, and the glance at her chest revealed a hint of lewdness, although it was not obvious, but it still made her very wary of this person.
"Hello Madam, the teacher will come out soon, please wait." The man turned to Alice, bowed, and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall old man stepped out of the door.
The old man was about the same age as Alice, and he was wearing a Chinese-style power suit. The dark blonde hair, which resembles the man just now, is still shiny, neatly combed back. Cold light flashed in his blue eyes from time to time, and his hooked nose made him look a little gloomy, Xiao Ruo felt that he didn't like this person very much.
"Mrs. and Xiu came, and the subordinates failed to greet them on time, forgive the sin." Joe's voice was deep and hoarse, without any emotional fluctuations.
"It's okay, Joe." Alice said with a smile, without any blame.
"Madame and Xiu, please come in." The young man stretched out his hand to hug Xiao Ruo.
Xiao Ruo took a step back without a trace, unconsciously used light footwork, and put his hand on Anthony's arm.
The man's eyes flashed, and Qiao also glanced at Xiao Ruo meaningfully, and said, "John, lead the way."
"Yes, teacher."
The man named John withdrew his hand, and went first toward the door, and stood still at the door.
Xiao Ruo sighed, it seems that she wants to have a good relationship with this guardian, it's not very easy, this kind of gloomy type of person, she doesn't like it the most.
