Baiyun District, in a remote warehouse.

Abandoned chests were piled up everywhere, like a labyrinth, and the windows around it were covered with wooden bars, so that no light could penetrate. Only a few faint oil lamps on the top, emitting light that make it difficult to see inside.

The air was filled with the smell of blood, and dark red blood slowly flowed and gathered on the ground, staining the black leather boots on them with a deep dark red.

More than a dozen corpses lay on the ground, both men and women, with mutilated limbs and frightened faces, and judging from their postures, they were fleeing one after another before they died. It's just that none of them ran away.

Not far away, in the hidden depths of the warehouse, several small machines were still working, making a slight roar, and some white powder continued to flow out from the exit, sliding into the pockets below.

Astolfo stood silently in a pool of blood, his sword still dripping blood.

"Young Master, are you ...... Are you alright?"

Behind him was a group of martial arts hall men, all with weapons in their hands, surrounding this area.

Annevia received news that someone was selling illegal drugs in the warehouse, so she handed over the task to Astolfo to lead the team.

It's just that before they could make a move, Astolfo suddenly burst out, and after brutally killing all these people, he stood still all the time, and after a long time, someone had the courage to ask.

He was answered by Astolford's blood-red, violent eyes, which turned his head to stare at him silently.

The ferocious momentum made him can't help but take two steps back, and his legs collapsed to the ground with a weak leg, his face pale.

This time it was like a switch, which woke Astolfo up, only to see him take two deep breaths, the blood in his eyes slowly faded, and he regained his clarity.

When he came to his senses, he stood in place in a daze, looking at the corpses all over the ground in a daze.

When he raised his hands, he saw that his hands were covered with blood, and the sticky blood was lingering on his hands.

With a thud, his sword fell to the ground.

"These ...... Did I do it?"

He turned around and asked the group with a hint of hope, hoping to get a negative answer.

"Yes, young master. A group of people looked at each other, not knowing why, but nodded respectfully in reply.

After standing for a long time in a pool of blood, Astolfo finally leaned down and picked up his sword, and silently walked out on his legs.

The people from the martial arts hall also quickly followed, leaving only a few people in place to deal with the scene.

Outside the warehouse, Astolfo quickly found a pool of water and forced his vomiting to wash away the blood stains on his body.

This is the third time he has led the team to act, and the first time he didn't dare to make a move, just watched his subordinates go up to fight. The second time, he couldn't help but shoot and wound a few enemies, and this time he couldn't control himself at all.

"It's that I'm so tired, it must be. ”

He lay on the edge of the pool and whispered to comfort himself, forcibly calming his mood.

It didn't take long for him to revert to his usual kind and gentle appearance, and he smiled encouragingly at himself reflected in the water.

The task was completed, and he immediately turned around and walked into the carriage surrounded by a group of subordinates, and slowly returned to leave the place.

This carriage with a purple cloud pattern has appeared very frequently in the Baiyun District recently, and people who are interested have already heard that this is the car of the next owner of the Baiyun Martial Arts Pavilion. Pedestrians dodged along the way, allowing it to gallop through the city.

It didn't take long for Astolfo to return to the martial arts hall and hand over the mission to Annevia.

Although he only vaguely said a few words to explain the process, after smelling the faint smell of blood on his body, Annevia couldn't help but smile a little.

"The young master's task was completed very well, and the adults really didn't look at you. It's not early, so let's go back and rest first. ”

"Hmm. ”

Astolfo nodded, turned and walked out, eager to go back and take a shower to wash off all the smell.

In the hallway, he happened to meet Roland walking towards him. "Ah Fu, where have you been lately, why can't I see you all the time?"

"I ...... Something has happened lately. He replied with a grin.

"Oh, yes, you're a busy person now...... Hey, why is there a little blood on your neck?" Roland reached out and touched his neck.

Syllable.

Astolfo slapped Roland's hand away, clutching his neck tightly.

"I still have something to do, so I'll go first. He didn't dare to look at Roland's stunned expression, and quickly left with his head down.

Coming out of the martial arts hall as if he had escaped, he rode all the way to his home in a carriage.

Sitting in the carriage, he couldn't help but hesitate to explain it all to Roland.

As the carriage slowly stopped, he awoke from his musings, lifted his legs and stepped out of the carriage towards a luxurious residence.

Since he was named the heir by Greene, the next day Decater sent someone to deliver the house to his family. And the family quickly moved here from their original hut.

As soon as he reached the gate, two servants opened the door, welcomed him in, and helped him take off his coat and put it away.

These were gifts from Noz, all of whom were carefully selected and industrious, gentle and industrious.

Not long after he walked through the courtyard and into the house, he saw his parents dressed and about to go out, and when he saw him, he greeted him happily and patted him on the shoulder: "We are going to a banquet, do you want to join us?"

Astolfo quickly shook his head, he didn't like these the most. But his parents didn't mind, and walked out side by side with a smile on their faces, and didn't forget to tell him, "By the way, don't have more dealings with that poor boy from Roland in the future, his talent is still so poor, don't drag you down."

Remember, you have to be big, and you have to make some high-end friends. There's a tonic from your uncle on the table, so remember to drink it later. ”

Astolfo stood stunned and watched his parents, who were hardworking and kind not long ago, becoming like strangers little by little, indulging in all kinds of flattery.

And the uncle, who worked at the city hall and had always been dismissive of his family, suddenly changed his face and began to send expensive supplements from time to time.

He felt that the world he knew was crumbling little by little, and more and more people were around him, but he felt more and more lonely.

"Brother Astolford, you're back, take me to play!"

A ten-year-old boy came out of the house, ran to him with joy and looked up at him.

This is a relative who sent him to live in his house for a while, and he is considered his cousin.

The little boy's big bright eyes twinkled at him, and he looked very cute. But at this moment, he saw a deep jealousy and malice in it, which made the smile on his face freeze a little.

"I ...... There's still something to do, you can play it yourself. ”

"Well, okay. ”

The little boy was very obedient and jumped away.

A chill inadvertently surrounded him, and he couldn't help but turn his head and look in the direction of the martial arts hall through the wall.

"Teacher, does he feel cold too?" he shook his head lightly at the thought of Green's eyes that were so cold that they didn't contain any emotion, "Probably not." ”

His hand unconsciously touched the long sword at his waist, trying to find some security. It was given to him by Annevia, and it was said to be a family heirloom of some ruined nobleman.

There was a long silence.

"Kill them all. ”

He suddenly whispered to himself.

Outside of his sight, a trace of black gas poked out of his neck.

Then he couldn't help but bow his head and laugh, and a sickly flush appeared on his face.

Shangri-La Hotel.

In the empty bathroom, there is a large bath with a length of more than ten meters and a width of more than ten meters, and the water surface is sprinkled with various precious and cherished petals and spices, exuding a refreshing smell.

A thick mist rose above the water, enveloping the room. The attendants who had been standing around the room had been sent out, and it seemed empty.

In the large bath, Green was the only one leaning against the edge of the bath, soaking naked, his eyes closed, as if he was taking a nap.

Angel knelt on the marble floor behind him, wearing only a thin coat, propped the back of Green's head on the smooth and delicate girl's thighs, and gently pressed her two hands on Green's head.

The early autumn weather is slightly chilly, and it is perfect for soaking in the warm pools.

"Do you think Tom is reliable?"

After a while, Green suddenly asked.

Angel didn't expect Green to ask her this question, although she was stunned for a moment, the movement in her hand still didn't stop, hooking up a trace of essential oil from the plate on the side and smearing it on Green's forehead, pushing it away to both sides.

"He only occasionally came to the hotel to entertain some guests, although he didn't see much, but his character was not bad, but he was a little timid and cowardly. If I hadn't been forced to be in a hurry this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have found the young master for help. ”

Angel had been in the hotel for a long time, and she also had some eyes to look at, and when she heard Green ask, she honestly expressed her opinion.

Green has no opinion on this evaluation, he is just worried about whether Fat Tom will have ambitions after he takes power.

If he was there, he would naturally be sure to hold him down and not dare to move. If he leaves Julu City, it will be difficult to say, the martial arts hall and the business house are deeply involved, and there must be one of them as the leader.

"If you leave this hotel to you, can you do it?" asked Green, faintly.

"This ...... I'm afraid not. ”

Angel hesitated, Shangri-La Hotel is now the largest hotel and gold cave in the entire Julu City, with thousands of employees alone.

Nominally, it was managed by Poru, but in fact, a dozen people were in charge of it together, and it was only possible to take care of it.

She has only been a team leader here for half a year, and she can't take on such a big burden.

"No, it can only be you, there is no more suitable candidate. Green didn't let her refuse.

Although Director Kuhn, who used to run the restaurant, still holds a key position in the hotel, he is a bit old and has a conservative personality, which is embarrassing.

After thinking about it, it is more appropriate to help Angel up and keep her in the firm.

"So be it, I've decided, you're ready. ”

Green interrupted what Angel was about to say, opened her eyes, raised her head, and walked out of the bath.

His tall body, still stained with water, was perfect as a sculpture, and he opened his hand for Angel to wipe him clean, and after getting dressed, he left the hotel.
