Chapter 11: Rivals Meet
I stood in the hallway of the stairs dumbfounded, the girl I knocked down had a look of surprise on her face, but I couldn't remember who she was for a moment.
The girl was the first to speak: "Benefactor, you forgot, you saved me!" ”
I let out an absent-minded "oh", and was thinking about when I had saved someone, when a man came up behind me, and the "cowboy" said behind me: "I haven't seen each other for a long time, why don't you just come and say hello and slip away?" ”
I looked back and said, "We don't think we have much to say." ”
The girl realized that the tension between us did not continue, but listened to the conversation between us, and "Cowboy" smiled contemptuously: "Are you and Alice okay?" ”
When he mentioned Alice again, I felt a wave of anger in my heart, and said coldly: "We're fine, so you don't need to worry about it." ”
"Cowboy" put away his smile and said with a cold expression: "Okay, I'm not here to argue with you today, I have something to tell you." ”
I thought to myself, "What can he tell me?" ”
I refused, "I don't think it's necessary, we don't have a common language." ”
The "cowboy" sneered: "Are you afraid to go with me, don't you have the guts?" You coward, you don't deserve her with Ben! ”
I knew he was using the agitation method, so I turned around and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not available today." ”
Suddenly, a "cowboy" voice sounded in my heart: "This is related to Alice's safety, come with me, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life!" ”
As soon as I took the steps of leaving, my feet seemed to have taken root and could no longer move half a step, not because the "cowboy" had cast any magic on me, but because his words were so important to me.
"Cowboy" came up to me and said briefly, "Come with me." ”
I could tell that the "cowboy" did have something important to say to me, and I followed closely, and the girl next to me was very interesting, knowing that we had something important to say, and watched me go away without saying a word, but her eyes were always on me, watching our every move.
"Cowboy" led me out of the villa to the back hall, the music gradually faded away, and I stepped out of the villa to the open space in the back garden, and the "cowboy" kept his back to me.
I kept guessing what he wanted to tell me, and the oppressive hostility he had just sent out loomed, and I waited for the moment when he took the initiative to speak.
"Cowboy" said in an extremely calm tone: "You should know that I came here this time, I was instructed by Lake to kill you, in fact, I have the ability to kill you now, but I feel Alice's love for you in you, and I temporarily changed my mind." ”
When I heard what he said earlier, I was shocked to hear what he said later, and I asked the question I had always wanted to ask: "What do you have to do with Alice?" ”
Because the "cowboy" didn't hurt Alice when he snatched her in the United States last time, and there must be a relationship between Alice and the "cowboy", it only made me think that the "cowboy" took Alice to keep her away from me at that time, but it just so happened that Alice and I were reunited on the cruise ship again.
"Cowboy" didn't answer me, but continued: "One of the reasons why Lake asked me to kill you is that you are his uncertain factor, many things in his plan have changed because of your appearance, if you remove your factor, although there are fewer accidents, but they will go according to his vision, it is ridiculous that you have always been one of the people he wants to kill, but he can't get rid of you." ”
I asked another question that I was interested in: "What made you change your mind, isn't it tantamount to betraying Lake if you don't kill me today?" ”
"Cowboy" shook his head and said, "I am just a cooperative relationship with him, when will it be his turn to control me?" One of the reasons I won't kill you today is because I know Alice's time is short, and you are the only one who can save her! ”
I was shocked, "What?! ”
The crescent moon is like a hook, after a gust of wind blows, the figure of the "cowboy" disappeared into a plant bush in the back garden, judging from his quick action, he is not an ordinary person, he is a mystery, but just now he didn't know how to say something in my heart, these words are knocked on my heart, it stands to reason that if he doesn't want anyone to hear this, it is the same in this way to say it indoors, I don't understand why he deliberately called me out, there must be some secret that I can't see.
Behind me, I remembered that a girl's gentle voice interrupted my thoughts, and she greeted, "Hello. ”
I turned around, and the girl deliberately walked in the direction of the "cowboy" and asked, "Where is your friend?" What to do over there? ”
I pretended to be mysterious and said, "Men also have men's privacy." Remembering that he didn't know who she was, he asked, "Who are you?" ”
The girl smiled apologetically: "My name is Salith, what is your name, you once saved my life, have you forgotten?" ”
Before I could turn my head around, and I was still thinking about what the "cowboy" had just told me, I replied casually, "My name is Mark, when did I save you?" ”
Shalith looked at me and said, "On a small boat in the United States, have you forgotten?" You also helped me call for help. ”
At that time, I saved people completely out of a kind of nostalgia for Anne, and it was inspired by feelings, and at that time I thought that even if I saved people, I would not meet again in the future, how could I expect to meet again today?
I didn't want to get her entangled now, so I responded, "I'm sorry, you recognized the wrong person, I haven't been to the United States." ”
Saris grabbed my forearm with both hands and shook it, tears welling up in her eyes and she said: "Why don't you admit it, you showed me your face at that time, and I will never forget it for the rest of my life, it was you." ”
Because Shalith was more emotional, her voice was amplified, and it immediately attracted a few onlookers, I thought that if I denied it, she would retreat, but I didn't expect it to be self-defeating, and more and more people came to see the excitement.
At this time, a figure flashed over, and I was pleasantly surprised, and immediately greeted me and said, "Sister, you can prove that I have never been to the United States, right?" ”
It was Beixue who came, and the purpose of coming here had been achieved, and there was no need to stay here, so Beixue was looking for me everywhere, and when she saw me with Salise and was anxious to get out, she immediately came over, followed by the new artist, Mr. Sfino.
When Beixue heard my words, she immediately understood what she meant, and stopped in front of me and said to Sharis: "It is true that he has never been to the United States, I am his sister, and you have indeed recognized the wrong person." ”
Salith's expression was a mixture of disappointment and a little insistence, since someone came forward to prove that it was a joke to continue to entangle, Salith took a step back politely, and said apologetically: "That's my rudeness, I'm sorry, but, can we be friends?" ”
Salith didn't look at Beixue, but looked at me, I didn't answer, Beixue understood what I meant, turned around and deliberately made up: "Mom told us to go back, your girlfriend is still waiting for you, there's nothing fun here, we can go back." ”
I nodded to Beixue, and was just about to leave, when the slightly chubby Sfinor stopped in front of me and said to Beixue: "It just so happens that I am going back to the apartment, I wonder if I will have the honor to give you a ride?" ”
I was about to reject him, but Beixue took the first step and said, "Okay, thank you then." ”
Seeing that Beixue had agreed, Sfinno's eyebrows fluttered, and he smiled and said, "Please!" "The three of us left in the spotlight, and although the protagonist was gone, the ball was not over yet, and Sarah stared at my back as if thoughtful.
Sfinore led us to his car, a new silver-white Ferrari, for a painter who had just become famous, to have such a car to reflect his current wealth, to get into his car, and to get back to the center of France, the residential building south of the Louvre, near our rented apartment.
Sfinor was very happy to know the beauty's residence, and when she opened the door and got out of the car for Beixue, she took the opportunity to ask her for her mobile phone number, and Beixue said euphemistically: "Mr. Sfino, thank you for sending our sister and brother back, but the first time we met, it was not good to give the phone number, I'm sorry my tutor is very strict, I hope you can understand." ”
Sfinor couldn't hide his disappointment, but he said again and again: "It's okay, it's okay." "I secretly decided in my heart that I must get this beauty.
After Sfinor and I watched Sfinor reluctantly leave, an RV came over and stopped in front of us, and when we got in the car, Bess first said to Vaughn, "You saw it all." ”
Vaughn, who was in the driver's seat, turned around and said, "Seriously, I was startled when I knew Lake was in that room, and then I calmed down again, and I thought he was there to help us, so I watched the show in the car and saw it over." ”
Alice asked me, "What's the matter with that woman?" ”
I immediately told me what happened when I fled the United States, including the experience of saving the girl, I sighed and said, "This is very coincidental, but I didn't save people wrong, right?" With that, my eyes drifted to Alice.
Alice gave me an appreciative look and didn't speak.
Vaughn said, "Now that he's put the Louvre's dialysis map and the theft method on you, where is it?" ”
Beixue stretched her hand back indifferently, and took out a blank piece of paper from the clothes that were open to her back muscles close to her hips, and the four of us curiously gathered around to see what was going on there.
