"So my parents didn't hesitate to get into the car?" said the countess. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"That's right. Uncle Ao continued, "They have a good relationship, at least in my opinion, it was the first time I met your parents, but I didn't expect it to be the last time I saw your parents." Uncle Ao said with a sigh.
"Alas, what a pity. Uncle Ao shook his head and continued......
Cars drive through the bustling crowd, there are not many cars in SH, the most on the road is rickshaws, occasionally a red tram makes a "ding ding" sound to drive by, pedestrians on the road are busy for their livelihoods, at this time, a group of workers in various colors of work clothes hold signs to walk by, they also make a shout about wage increases, many people hold all kinds of placards, there is no sign also hold a small flag to make a strong voice.
"It doesn't seem to be very peaceful not only in Europe, but also here. Matt said with emotion when he saw the procession.
"You're not right. Tang Zheng said to Maite while driving: "This workers' strike is nothing more than asking for better treatment, and the fact that workers can think of making more money shows that the benefits of industry are okay." ”
"I'm a little curious, it's good that the workers are on strike and the social instability is good for you. Matt retorted.
"There is some truth in what you said, but in recent years, it has been much better than before, at least people have hope. Tang Zheng said with a smile.
"I agree. Matt replied.
"I can't imagine that I haven't seen you in a year and care about people's lives?" Van Helsing said teasingly.
"This year, we have lived in isolation in Siberia for a year, and now he has not been anywhere to ask about the latest news in the region. Lily replied with a smile. His answer embarrassed Matt.
Van Helsing smiled, this is the Matt he knew, a little stupid, but to the point, he knows better than why Lily is a guy who likes this kid, but maybe this is fate, sometimes there are always some strange couples in this world.
Although Van Helsing knows the relationship between Lily and Matt, he has to ensure that the relationship between the two of them who are only lovers must not be known to Lily and Matt's clan, because Matt is an earth dragon, and Lily is a wind dragon, and it is strictly forbidden to intermarry between different dragon species in the dragon clan, because there is a hybrid of the dragon clan in history that almost wiped out the wind dragon and the earth dragon family, so the matter between the two of them must be kept strictly secret, the archbishop ordered that Van Helsing keep it strictly secret, and the relationship between their couple is only known to Van Helsing and a few trustworthy guys, and the two of them must behave like an ordinary friend in front of outsiders, which is why they went back to Siberia, if it weren't for the precipitous mission this time, the archbishop was ready to let the two of them stay in that place where birds don't for the rest of their lives.
However, under the protection of the church, as long as the Red Dragon Family does not know, the other three dragon families that have fallen into decay will have a way to shut them all up even if they pursue Van Helsing, after all, the power of the church can still completely suppress the other three families who are no longer in the climate in the Council of Light and Shadow.
However, it is better to keep it secret for the sake of safety, after all, no one wants to mention this taboo thing.
Although the relationship between the two of them is not allowed by the dragon clan, but as their friend, a teammate who has been born and died countless times, Van Helsing is still blessed, from this point of view, Van Helsing and Jiang Sato still have a lot in common, both of them like to be willful, one can spare his life in order to save people, and the other knows that this is a taboo thing but does not hesitate to risk the world to keep it a secret for his friends. This may be the reason why Van Helsing is optimistic about Jiang Sato.
So, Van Helsing and his entourage talked and laughed all the way, and Tang Zheng drove them into the destination, the French Concession, which is not under the jurisdiction of the National Government, so many historically unknown activities were held in this special place in the French Concession, such as the first national party congress. Van Helsing: Of course, their task will not be on the table.
The car drove straight into the French Concession, all the way unimpeded, and finally the car stopped at a Western-style pavilion.
It is a white three-story Western-style building, there is a big black iron gate in front of the Western-style building, a huge courtyard surrounds the entire Western-style building, and there is a huge fountain in front of the building.
After Van Helsing's car entered the iron gate, Tang Zheng got out of the car, opened the door for Van Helsing, and under the leadership of Tang Zheng, they entered the foreign pavilion.
The door opens to reveal the golden interior, the interior of the mansion is as bright as daytime with a huge chandelier overhead, a carpet with intricate patterns at the foot shows the prestige of the owner, and two circular staircases lead to the second floor from the main door.
"Here please. Tang Zheng said respectfully.
"Hey, it's quite magnificent, it seems that this time we are going to meet a rich master. Matt smiled at Van Helsing.
"Seriously, I've heard that the people who received us on the mission have a lot of connections with you. Van Helsing's words piqued Matt and Lily's interest.
"Origin?" Lily frowned, as if she had smelled a nasty smell.
Under the leadership of Tang Zheng, Van Helsing and his party came to the living room. Sitting on a white leather sofa.
"Please wait a moment, the master will be there shortly. After Tang Zheng finished speaking, he then bent down and bowed and retreated.
Van Helsing and his party sat on the sofa and waited for a while, tasting the fresh fruit on the table. After a while, the door opened again, and it seemed that the person they had been waiting for had finally arrived.
The door opened, and a middle-aged man in black walked straight in, he had a very famous middle part of the era, and his slightly fat body made him look a little thick, he was wearing a black Tang costume, his height was not too high, and the back of the Tang costume was embroidered with a pattern of double dragons playing with pearls, and the two green dragons looked a little hideous and his generous appearance was a little inconsistent.
"Uncle Ao, long time no see. When Van Helsing saw that the person he was going to see had arrived, he hurriedly stood up and said hello, and then he shook hands politely with Uncle Ao in Tang costume.
"Let me introduce you, this is Angelina Lilly, and this is Smith Mait, a member of my team. And this is our collaborator on this mission, Uncle Ao, the leader of the Blue Dragon Gang, is also the current patriarch of the Blue Dragon Clan. Van Helsing said with a smile.
"I said that when I entered the house, I smelled the smell of the same kind, and it turned out that this is the reason. Lily replied with a smile.
"Meet the Patriarch. Lily and Maite saluted Uncle Ao at the same time, the dragon clan still respects the patriarch of each clan, because the dragon clan only obeys the strong, and it is not possible to achieve the position of the patriarch without sufficient strength, the general patriarch is not only very capable, but also ranks among the top three in the race to which he belongs.
"Hahaha, see outside, who doesn't know the "Feng Wuji" of the Wind Dragon Clan and the "Thunderstorm" of the Earth Dragon Clan. Uncle Ao said with a smile.
The senior smiled. Matt said with a smile, it was his supreme honor to be able to meet the patriarch of the Blue Dragon clan in this mission, you know, even in the Tulong family, he could count the number of times he saw the patriarch on five fingers.
"Let's get down to business. Please be seated. Uncle Ao stretched out his hand to ask the three people who stood up to sit down, and he also found a position on the sofa to sit down on the left.
