Ember Gun

  Chapter 694 Farewell Party

  The open-air garden was already covered with heavy snow. Because of the shortage of manpower and the reasons that it was not important here, the old housekeeper did not send anyone to clean it. The snow piled more and more here, almost covering everything.

   Arthur fumbled among the white snow, found the position of the stone bench, wiped away the snow on it, and sat down.

The garden is very quiet, and you can faintly hear the noise from the surrounding buildings. Some of the sounds are quite familiar. They sound like Lorenzo's. This guy went crazy. His voice has always been loud, just like on the stage. Actors, wishing to attract everyone's attention.

  "Aren't you going to go in?"

  The voice sounded, and then Seleu came from behind.

   "No, you can just talk to Lorenzo about this kind of thing. My appearance will disturb everyone's interest."

   Arthur smiled. He knew very well that he was not suitable for such a joyous occasion, at least for others.

  In the eyes of Shrike, Lan Jade and others, he is a serious boss, in Eve's eyes, he is a staid father, in Lorenzo's eyes... well, let's not consider Lorenzo as a bad person.

  Out of various thoughts, Arthur finally chose to wait here.

   "The house is full of youthfulness, and an old guy like me can't adapt."

  He looked at the window where the sound was coming from, and said to Seleu.

"okay."

  Seleu did not persuade him much, and stood beside him.

   "Aren't you sitting down?"

  Arthur pointed to the stone bench to the side, which was also wiped out by him.

   "No, it's cold."

   Seleuc responded indifferently. Hearing this, Arthur was stunned, and then laughed louder.

   "Okay, okay, anyway, these things are difficult for us to intervene, right?"

   Arthur looked at the heavy snow and said helplessly.

  "The young people are great, you are doing a good job, you are mechanically dazzling, and you are safe. I should also leave the scene and leave these things to you."

   Seleuc nodded, not making any more judgments about it.

   "Watson's report has been circulated among the country builders. Her report is very timely. There has been an abnormal change in the place of seven hills. We initially suspect..."

  While speaking, Seleu's voice lowered, hiding the unspeakable nightmare.

  "Did you tell Lorenzo about these things?" Arthur asked.

   "No, a rare vacation, I don't want him to be under too much pressure."

   "Yes, maybe this is the last vacation," Arthur dispelled Seleu's worries, "you know, you can't stop him."

  Seleu was silent for a few seconds, then nodded unwillingly.

"Yes."

"Oh, there is no way, you know, he is a stubborn guy," Arthur said, "Apart from these, we are also speeding up the mobilization, cooperating with you, and we have some new news here. "

"what news?"

  "The news from Gallunaro, I sent the spies for so long, and they finally recovered some useful news," Arthur looked a little proud, "old guys, it's not completely useless."

"what happened?"

   "Lawrence took action. He assembled a fleet and left the port of Maruri in the middle of the night. The destination is unknown."

  After speaking, Arthur asked Seleu, "Where do you think he will go?"

   "I don't know... but I think someone will know."

  After speaking, Seleuc turned and left, in a hurry, while Arthur shouted at the back of her departure.

   "Little girl, the cleaning mechanism is ready, and the rest is up to you!"

  Seleu's figure drifted away, and Arthur's gaze slowly returned.

   "So you will explain this to them? Not me."

  【Well, this matter should be my responsibility. 】

   "That's good, I'm too old, and I tried my best to participate when I was young, but now I just feel tired."

   Arthur muttered to himself, and soon the strange feeling in his consciousness began to subside, and he could feel that Watson had left.

  ……

  Under the urging of alcohol, the temperature in the room gradually warmed up. There were no weird activities. Everyone just sat together and chatted about ordinary things.

  Shrike told other people about his promotion, and rarely showed his drunkenness. Everyone is his confidant, and he will cooperate more in the future.

  Eve was very excited to see this, holding Shrike’s head, hooking his shoulders, and looking like a good brother.

   "Then we can communicate more! Shrike!"

  Eve said to the shrike conspiracy.

   "This is nature, this is nature."

  Shrike replied repeatedly that Eve is also Arthur’s daughter, an immediate family member of his boss. Although the cleansing agency has few familiar workplace cultures due to the nature of the work, it does not mean that this thing does not exist.

   "I will support you well."

  Probably the reason for the drinking, the Shrike became more or less serious, and squeezed his eyebrows at Eve, changing his old serious image.

   "Let me tell you, I am going to..."

  Seeing this, Eve simply leaned against Shrike’s ear, and whispered secrets to him.

  Shrike nodded while listening, and then his expression gradually cleared up from the drunkenness, with a look of surprise on his face.

   "Are you sure you want to do this? Eve."

   "Of course, I planned for a long time." Eve affirmed.

   "But... but this is not so good, after all, he is your father."

"You also know that our father-daughter relationship is very bad, right? Besides, is it not a good thing to retire?" Eve bewitched the Shrike. Now, isn't it how we want to be..."

  Eve chuckled, his stomach full of bad water.

Shrike blinked vigorously, stretched out his hand, took a glass of ice water, poured his head up, and tried to make himself more awake, looked at Eve’s threatening expression, and remembered what she just said to herself. He always felt like he had fallen into a terrible set.

   "You won't inform, will you?"

  Eve's voice was close to her ears, full of intimidation.

   "Hmm...hmm."

  Shrike coughed a few times, and then said dryly.

   "You really deserve to be Arthur's good daughter."

   "This is natural, but I am very concerned about his physical condition." Eve smiled innocently. Seeing her conspiracy succeeded, she stopped saying anything and got up and left.

   "What did she just say?"

  Looking at Eve's departure, Lan Jade, who was standing on the side, came over, sat next to the Shrike, and asked, looking at the Shrike's expression, she always felt something was wrong.

   "Nothing...Do you remember Arthur had an island?"

  Shrike dodges his eyes, not knowing what to say.

   "Well, what's the matter?"

  For Lan Feicui and others, it is no secret in the cleansing agency. A long time ago, everyone knew that Arthur had a headache in the children's education, and for this, they bought an island as a dowry for her.

According to the life plan that Arthur made for Eve, study, grow, get married, and live a life peacefully...As for what happened later, everyone knows that the island was left vacant and became many industries of the Phoenix family. one.

   "Nothing...nothing."

Shrike shook his head and tried to shake Eve’s crazy words out of his head. Although it sounds ridiculous, it seems that this kind of thing is not so surprising when it is applied to the Phoenix family. accept.

  Even so, Shrike still feels something is wrong. If Eve has a problem, if he has a problem, under the influence of alcohol, he can't understand it.

   "Some more?"

  The questioning voice was a little bit of joy, and the other party was silent for a while, and then whispered.

"Come!"

   "Oh oh oh! How proud!"

  Sao Liangxi cheered, filled Rod with wine again, and then bewitched Rod in his ears like Eve was possessed.

   "Look, this guy is already blushing, he can't stand it anymore, you can definitely win!"

  "This is natural, don't underestimate the Inervig people!"

  Rod grabbed the wine glass and threw it off the table, and then suffocated the wine in the glass. Seeing this, Liangxi tried to suppress his smile, clapping his hands in praise.

"OK!"

"Humph."

  Rod was triumphant, his eyes blurred, and he looked at the people in the room.

  Unsurprisingly, he did not know these people alone, so he was drawn into this inexplicable gathering by Liangxi.

   "You guys, one by one, all look familiar."

   Rod muttered to himself.

These few days are really magical for Rod, I didn't expect to see these mysterious nine summer people, and then these "customers" were unexpectedly enthusiastic, so enthusiasm was so high that Rod was almost mistaken for him. , They have known each other like that for several years.

This made Rod a little uneasy and restrained. He came to participate in this strange party to stimulate this emotion to the greatest extent, until someone asked Rod to relax and drink with himself... Yes, it was sitting opposite him. This guy.

   "How...Mr. Holmes?"

  Rod tried to pronounce his name. Although he had a few bottles with this guy, Rod just knew his name.

   "Don't be like this, just call me Lorenzo."

  Lorenzo smiled, and during the conversation, he had another drink with Rod, and then drank the wine from the toast.

   "I said, Lorenzo, do we know each other?"

  Rod pointed at himself, then at Lorenzo, his words squashed.

   "Who knows?"

  Lorenzo said, and motioned to Liangxi to fill Rod with wine.

   "Why are you so enthusiastic?"

  Rode didn’t understand. Lorenzo gave him the same feeling as Liangxi. The two seemed to have known each other for a long time, and they were still joking.

  Based on all the above, coupled with the fanfare of Liangxi, Rhode and Lorenzo inexplicably combined the wine.

  "This is called hospitality, hospitality!"

  Lorenzo was talking, winking at Sora, but Sora couldn’t stop smiling, and gave Lorenzo a thumbs up.

  Seeing this, Shao Liangye sighed and whispered.

   "Don't go too far."

   "I know, I know... Mainly, don't you think Rod is cute?"

  Sao Liangxi said, grabbing Luo Liang’s head, like touching a dog, rubbing his cheeks and chin vigorously, then turning his head over and pointing at Shao Liangye.

Rod was almost drunk, and he was confused. He was manipulated like a doll. He looked at Shao Liangye. Although he was so drunk, his due professionalism and moral etiquette prompted him to instinctively show Shao Liangye. Smile, although it looks extremely funny right now.

   "Come on! Lord, you are so strong! I'm going to die."

  At this time, Lorenzo spoke again, and he raised his glass again, pretending to be drunk.

   "Cut, I'll just say you can't do it!"

  Rod became proud, but opposite him, Lorenzo, like Sora, was holding back a smile.

  The physique of the demon hunter makes it extremely difficult for Lorenzo to get drunk. Most of the time, his drinking is not much different from water. Poor Rhodes did not know this at all, and was played by the two to applaud him.

   "I said, Lorenzo, why don't you blush!"

   "The cold is whitish."

  The two of you kept drinking, until a certain moment when Rod could no longer hold it, he fell down with a whimper.

   "Mr. Holmes wins!"

  Lorenzo shouted, and Liangxi also took up Lorenzo's hand at this time and raised it forcefully.

   "Victory!"

  Two neurotic guys sang and danced together.

  Singing and dancing like this did not last long, the door was pushed open, and the owner of the mansion appeared.

   "Seleu!"

  Sao Liangxi was still in that state of singing and dancing, and when he saw Seleu, he shouted.

   "Stuart!"

  Lorenzo completely followed the rhythm of Liangxi, unaware of what he was yelling, but fortunately, he reacted faster, even if he realized it.

   "The master is late in coming."

  Lorenzo got up and walked past Rod’s drunk figure, and strode to Seleu’s side.

  Seleu turned his head slightly, his eyes were cold, and Lorenzo shuddered from the cold, but Lorenzo quickly eased over. Such Seru had long been used to him, and he was just as usual...probably.

  Lorenzo and Seleu's eyes met each other. It was not long, but in Seleu's eyes, Lorenzo read too many different emotions.

  For an instant, Lorenzo woke up. He looked at Seleu, and then at everyone in the room. An extremely bad idea arose in his heart, and his words stammered under his excitement.

   "This...this is a party, right?"

  Seleu nodded without denying, but Lorenzo knew that there was something wrong, and he asked tentatively.

   "It's not just a party...?"

  This time without waiting for Seleu to respond to him, another old voice sounded, answering all of this.

   "Yeah, Lorenzo, more than that... At least it was originally a happy party."

  The man walked over, and Oscar's embarrassed figure appeared at the door. He flushed as if he was drinking too much.

   "Did he drink too much? I said why I didn't see him."

  Eve saw Oscar, only to realize that Oscar was not among them.

   "No, he is not Oscar."

  Lorenzo looked at Watson, and suddenly, he understood a lot.

   "So what happened? You can only borrow this guy temporarily, wait... let me guess."

  He stretched out his hand and stopped Watson's words. After a few seconds, Lorenzo said slowly.

   "So, is this the farewell party before the war?"
