Chapter 809: Kassandra
Bang!
Lu Li kicked open the door of the team's station, and shouted at the team members who were raising their glasses in celebration, "Guys, I'm back!"
"Meow meow cat, uncle, you're finally back!"
Meow Lori, who reacted the fastest, immediately put down the wine glass, pounced directly, opened her arms around her neck, and shook her two furry ears to rub around.
"Captain, you're back just in time! In two days, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with this year's factional war. Diodorus said with a smile on his face.
"That's right, my brother and I have already made it through the silver knockouts, especially my brother, and even Clive, who finished 10th last year. Apollonius blushed and shouted excitedly.
As a rookie who failed to even pass the first round of the bronze group last year, he couldn't believe that in just a few months, the fate of his brother and sister had changed dramatically.
"Hehe, Captain, I have one last game tomorrow, and the opponent is the Son of the Forest, Suma, do you want to come and watch?" asked Agnes with a smile on her lips.
It can be seen from the girl's relaxed and happy attitude that she is bound to win this game.
Lu Li spread his hands with a smile: "Do you still need to ask? Of course I have to go, not only to go, but also to get three knockout matches by the way." ”
"In one day?" Agnes raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"Yes, in one day, if I can, I want to play three at the same time, which will save a lot of time. Lu Li stroked the weapon behind his back and replied without thinking.
Even if he didn't use the Ripping Wind, he didn't think there was anyone among the Silver Adventurers who could resist the terrifying power of the new weapon.
"Meow? What is this? Your new weapon?"
The curious Meow Lori poked her finger at the oversized sniper rifle that shimmered with a silver sheen.
"Yes, I'm going to call it the Elemental Reaper. With that, Lu Li rubbed the girl's head, sat down, grabbed the meatloaf on the table and stuffed it into his mouth.
More than forty hours of non-stop work made him hungry and tired, and Mose and Lisa, who were also exhausted, sat down next to him and began to eat quickly.
Agnes noticed the tired expressions of the three of them, and hesitated for a few seconds before speaking: "Captain, Vivien asked me to bring you a message that when you return, you will go to the place where the sinners gather, she has something very important to tell you. ”
"Vivien, where's she?" Lu Li asked, swallowing the food in his mouth and looking up.
"I don't know, all I know is that Vivien took the two old men into the big house that had just been built, and then sent them to twenty or so sinners, as if they were stirring up something. Agnes explained, spreading her hands.
"Okay, I see. Lu Li nodded thoughtfully.
Just as he was about to wait for the end of his meal to see the progress of the thermal power plant, a woman with long black hair, a convex figure, and a lilac gauze skirt walked in from the door, especially the two murder weapons of astonishing scale, rising and falling together with the sound of crisp footsteps, showing an indescribable charm.
"Kassandra, why are you here?" Lu Li forced himself to take his attention away from the other party's career.
Obviously, this woman is none other than Kassandra Langdon, the daughter of Kaduma Langdon, a great merchant from the Hoyle Empire.
At the age of twenty, her whole body exuded a masculine aura, and the two brothers, Diodorus and Apollonios, who were still virgins, became short of breath and kept swallowing saliva.
"Of course, it's to help you take care of your business! Kassandra cautiously approached in her high heels and placed the ledger on the table.
It can be seen that she is still full of fear of Lu Li in her heart, and the reason why she stayed was because she was persecuted by her father.
Having seen the tragic situation of some relatives with her own eyes, she didn't want to test whether she could survive after losing her family's protection.
Lu Li picked up the account book and flipped through it, and asked without raising his head: "Can you tell me, why did you stay?"
"Do you want to hear the truth or lie?" Kassandra asked rhetorically, taking a deep breath.
"True, of course. I can feel that you're actually a little scared of me, and normal people don't stay with the object of their fear. With that, Lu Li raised his head and looked at the other party's dark blue eyes.
Kassandra smiled helplessly, "That's right, in my eyes, you are a real danger, especially those eyes that shimmer with golden fire, I will never forget." But alas, Father ordered me to stay with you until one of us died. In other words, from now on, I am your person. ”
"My people?" Lu Li subconsciously frowned.
"Yes, is it hard to understand that my dear father has given me to you as a gift, a hostage, and a bargaining chip?"
Perhaps because she was too angry, Kassandra had a sarcastic look on her face as she said this.
After hearing this, Lu Li's brows furrowed even tighter: "Don't be angry at me!First, the person who caused the current situation is not me, so I have no reason to bear your anger." Second, if you don't want to stay, you can leave at any time, I can provide you with a sum of money, and I believe that with your ability, it should be no problem to find a place to do some business. ”
"Hah! that's easy!" Kassandra rolled her eyes in annoyance. "If I leave, it will be tantamount to betraying the family, and do you know what the consequences of betraying the family are? My father will send his most capable men, and no matter what I do, he will make me lose money, and I will end up wandering the streets penniless, and even degenerate to the point of making money on my body. That's not the life I wanted. ”
"Your father would be so ruthless?" Lu Li's eyes widened in disbelief.
Kassandra nodded without hesitation: "Yes, otherwise how do you think a family can last for hundreds or thousands of years? Well, I'm just grumbling and complaining, but at least I'm a little luckier than my sister, who was married to an old man in his sixties at the age of thirteen. ”
"It's really sick! This is all about using your relatives as a tool, and what feelings are there to speak of? Forget it, you settle down first, and I'll talk to your father when I have time." ”
"No, I think life is pretty good now, at least a little more free than at home......"
