Chapter 40: The Dark Executor Ten

  Lü has been thinking about a profound question these past few days.

  It's probably because he and Sebastian are staying here temporarily, plus the casual excuse they made earlier, that no one has come to visit for such a long time.

  In his impression, it seemed that Charles had a fiancée, and his own appearance wouldn't make Charles lose his wife... No way, he still had to ask Mr. Vincent to invite the girl over as a guest and have her cultivate feelings with Charles.

  A certain lawyer who was promoted from being a brother to an uncle started thinking about the major events of this child's life as summer approached his tenth birthday.

  Xia Erjun, who was completely unaware of this, listened seriously to the teacher invited by his parents.

  The ten-year-old Xiao Zhengtai looks very cute, but has a mature and serious face, which not only doesn't make him look mature, but also quite amusing.

  Xia Er indeed kept his word and hasn't cried in years, instead showing a tendency to develop facial paralysis. This made Yu very depressed and he blamed the problem on Sebastian. In response, a certain demon claimed innocence.

  I don't know what Mr. and Mrs. Vincent said, anyway both sides finally reached a pleasant consensus.

  Then, the highly efficient Mr and Mrs Vincent had invited several guests by the next day.

  Lydia led the reluctant Charlottes and Vincents to the door, where they were met by the first arrivals, Lord and Lady Barnet. The lady in red looked beautiful and radiant, her rosy complexion and beaming smile indicating that she was now living a happy life.

  The Watsons ushered them into the living room while Lü insisted on keeping a somewhat impatient Xavier waiting at the door.

  It was not until the appointed time that Elizabeth Ethel Cordelia Midford had yet to arrive.

  Xia Er pouted and said, "Brother, let's not wait any longer. We can just call the servant to come over. It's not like it's some important person."

  Lü thought that the girl probably spent some time choosing clothes before going out, but she should be arriving soon. Moreover, if Elizabeth arrives and sees Charles waiting for her at the door, she will definitely be very happy. Yeah, first impressions are important.

  So Lü didn't budge and still asked Xia Er to wait together. "I'll keep you company, let's wait a bit longer."

  I didn't expect it would take an hour just waiting.

  Xia Er looked somewhat displeased, leaning lazily against the pillar and complaining. "Why is this person not on time... don't we need to wait anymore?"

  Lü furrowed his brow, feeling that something wasn't quite right. Could it be that something had happened?

  Lü let Xial return to rest first, and after asking the Vinsen couple, they confirmed that they had received news of Elizabeth's departure two hours ago. Then he called Sebastian together to go out and find her.

  The sky was already faintly tinged with the hues of twilight, and Ruth and Sebastian inquired at the shops along the route by which Elizabeth had come, but no one had seen the Middleton carriage.

  Just as the law was getting impatient, Sebastian suddenly stopped in his tracks.

  "Did you find anything?"

  Sebastian nodded and motioned for Lü Jing to calm down and listen carefully.

  Lu Xun concentrated his mind and listened carefully, and found that in a hotel on the fourth floor dozens of meters away, there were voices talking.

  "...unclean...the queen's command..."

  "Van Damme... ten years old"

  "Shall... Vincent... underground..."

  Eliminate...

  At this sentence, a cold intent flashed across his expressionless face. It seemed that someone wanted to move the person who shouldn't be moved.

  If someone dares to harm the people he values, he will definitely pay a heavy price.

  The people I treasure, even if they are hurt a little bit, it's absolutely unacceptable.

  Lutz left his mark on the soul of the speaker and returned with silent Sebastian to Vandome's mansion.

  Elizabeth has arrived, she went to pick out gifts earlier and didn't expect to spend a lot of time being indecisive.

  Lost the mood of matching Charles and Elizabeth, Lu and several others politely said goodbye and wanted to go upstairs to rest.

  His face did look a bit tired, so the Vincents were worried and reminded him to get plenty of rest, telling him he could sleep in later in the morning, and that breakfast would be kept warm for him by the kitchen.

  Nodding, Ritsu returned to the room and collapsed onto the bed, motionless. Sebastian followed closely behind, quietly closing the door, lay down beside Ritsu, and wrapped his arms around him.

  Ling breathed in the unique scent of Sebastian, surrounded by that silent warmth. In this warm and dry embrace, people always felt at ease and dependent.

  Sebastian didn't say a word, but let Lu know what he was thinking.

  He stretched out his hand and wrapped it around his waist, Lu buried his face in his arms and whispered, "I want to protect this home."

  Sebastian's calm and gentle voice gradually calmed Lü's emotions.

  "Don't worry, I'm always with you."

  "Everything has me in it."

  Law closed his eyes, and in Sebastian's promise, he relaxed and fell asleep.

  A dreamless night.

  The next day, Rui got up early, which surprised the Wensons. After eating breakfast, he went out with Sebastian and didn't bring Charles along.

  As for Char's discontent, Lutz's original words were: "Little Char, perhaps you'd like to go see the kittens with your Uncle Sebastian? You know, they're really cute creatures."

  Then, Charles, who had been clamoring to go together, stopped immediately, his face expressionless. "Slow down, I won't see you off." He then glared fiercely at Sebastian. "Inexplicable strange taste. Are interests all similar to people?"

  "... innocent Sebastian was dragged here as a human shield."

  "...was inexplicably caught in the crossfire and was attacked along with Yu."

  So, one word with two meanings and one arrow hitting two targets is really terrifying.

  In theory, as demons, they shouldn't be afraid of light like vampires, but they still prefer the night. However, the First Law was originally human, and Sebastian doesn't mind these things, so overall, the two are quite harmonious.

  They came out today to gather some information. The person that night, unexpectedly wasn't human. Because humans are not possible to perceive the marking on their soul, however when the law enforcement wanted to track them down in the morning, they found that the mark had already disappeared.

  Originally thought that the hotel was definitely not a formal place, wanted to wait for him to return to his own residence before making a move, and also to figure out who was behind it and what their purpose was, but unexpectedly lost the opportunity instead.

  It's clearly inappropriate to act rashly now, and it's easy to startle the snake, so Lü Yu and Sebastian decided to gather some useful information first.

  Lü is very regretful that he didn't watch this anime back then, otherwise he wouldn't have to search aimlessly like now.

  But now the most important thing is to calm down and think carefully.

  The law is actually suspicious of the imperial family. Because it's not that others don't have motives or capabilities, but it's impossible to reach this level.

  Something that is not human and doesn't know what species it belongs to (...) will listen to an ordinary family? Definitely not.

  But even thinking about it at this level, it's not easy to implement any plan.

  Some people with headaches inadvertently raised their heads and saw a strange store.
