Chapter 213 Ivan: I Hate You

Ivan didn't think for long.

Lin Jiu and Charles stared at him for about half a minute before he came to his senses and looked back at them.

"Have you thought of anything?" Lin Jiu asked.

"What are they going to do with this huge amount of magic power?"

Lin Jiu/Charles:.......

They can also think of this.

"Like a sacrifice? Sacrifice the entire town, or... summon an evil god?"

Two guesses, and the probability of both possibilities is not low.

"Which of these two do you think is more likely?"

Ivan was stunned. Why ask him?

Isn't this something you can figure out on your own?

Thinking this in his mind, Ivan decisively chose one of them: "Sacrifice?"

Charles raised his hand and patted Ivan on the shoulder: "I will believe in your luck."

Lin Jiu also nodded.

Ivan: ......

The three of them returned to the castle and happened to meet Anna and Joel who ran out of the restaurant.

There were crumbs of flour hanging from the corners of Joel's mouth, and Anna's cheeks were puffy, obviously they had just finished eating and ran out in a hurry.

The butler's voice faintly came from the restaurant. Lin Jiu took a look and then looked away, his eyes falling on the two little ones.

Why can't all the children in the world be as quiet and sensible as he was when he was a child?

Even when Lin was a baby, he rarely cried. Nine: Puzzled.jpg

Charles didn't seem to have a good impression of the two children, and Ivan's reaction was rather flat, probably because he was still unclear whether Anna and Joel were harmless.

After all, these two children are elusive and stay in their rooms most of the time, and are rarely seen anywhere else.

"Brother, good morning, uncle."

Anna looked at Charles and Lin Jiu, then at Ivan, covering her mouth and greeting him incoherently.

Joel repeated Anna's words.

Lin Jiu and Charles were stunned for a moment, then looked at Ivan who was also stunned.

Ivan came back to his senses. He pointed at himself, looked at Anna and Joel, and said in disbelief: "You call me uncle?"

Ivan thought to himself, this is so ridiculous, does he look really old?!

He's only 25 this year! In Dragon Country, he'd be called a pretty boy!

"puff."

The laughter that couldn't be suppressed instantly caught Ivan's attention. When he turned around, he saw that Lin Jiu and Charles were both trying to hold back their laughter.

Judging from the sound, it was Charles who laughed just now.

And now he is the only one covering his mouth.

"Is it funny?"

Charles asked back, "Isn't it funny?"

Ivan: ......

Joel suddenly giggled at this moment, and Ivan felt that this laughter was like a knife stabbing him in the heart.

Anna stopped Joel at this time, then turned to Ivan and said, "I'm sorry, uncle."

Ivan: ...

Ivan, who had suffered several blows in a row, said he didn't want to argue with the child. He tried to put on a kind smile and said slowly: "Child, don't run around after dinner. Go back to your room and play."

Anna and Joel nodded and went upstairs obediently.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to give Ivan another stab: "Goodbye, pretty brother and handsome brother! Goodbye, uncle!"

The two little ones went upstairs quickly.

Charles couldn't help it at all. He grabbed Ivan's shoulder with one hand, bent down slightly, and smiled with his head down.

“Hahaha…”

Although Lin Jiu still didn't say anything, he coughed lightly, trying to hide his desire to laugh.

Ivan was completely silent.

"What are you laughing at?"

At this time, Todd poked his head out from the second floor and looked at the three people in confusion.

Reginald and the other newcomers also stood aside, looking curious.

Lin Jiu looked up and gave a brief explanation.

"Just because of this?" Todd was also amused.

He looked at Ivan, who seemed to have lost all color, and smiled to comfort him: "Don't worry, it's normal for people like us to be called uncle. Just be glad that it's not someone your age who calls you that."

This statement was agreed by the other three groups.

Charles's laughter suddenly became louder.

Lin Jiu smiled silently, then explained: "The key is that Charles and I are both called brother."

Charles pointed at Ivan and said, "He's the only one who's called uncle...hahaha..."

Hearing this, Todd was stunned.

He opened his mouth to say something, but the sound that came out of his throat was a short laugh.

"Cough cough..." Todd hurriedly covered it up with a cough.

Ivan: The ridicule from my friends certainly makes me feel heartbroken, but the ridicule from my colleagues makes me feel ashamed.

"I hate you." Ivan said with his fists clenched and his head lowered. Half a second later, he added: "For the rest of my life."

The brief interlude seemed to ease the tense atmosphere surrounding everyone a lot. Near the afternoon, the people in Group 2 also finished their rest.

As expected, Ivan's previous jokes were brought out again for everyone to relax.

Ivan: I hate you all my life.

Scoring twice also made the audience in the live broadcast room laugh continuously.

"It's very quiet today." Christy said in a neither loud nor soft voice.

He put his hands on the railing on the second floor. Looking down from this direction, he had a clear view of the living room.

"It's nice, isn't it? At least I can enjoy a moment of peace and quiet, or something." Hicks was walking downstairs, shrugging his shoulders as he spoke.

Just as Christian was about to reply, he caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye and subconsciously looked over.

"Huh?"

Hicks, who was still walking down the stairs, looked up subconsciously when he heard the sound and asked, "What's wrong?"

Christian raised his hand and pointed at a painting hanging on the wall of the living room. He said hesitantly, "Do you feel that there is something wrong with that painting?"

Hicks looked over.

Everyone else in the living room also looked at the painting that Christie pointed at.

It is a painting hanging near the entrance of the restaurant.

It is also an imitation painting that borrows the visual expression of the famous representative painting of that Western painter - "The Last Supper".

In the painting, sitting in the middle of the dining table is a man with elegant manners, wearing a high-necked shirt, a burgundy vest, and expensive jewelry.

At this moment, the man who obviously had the highest status among all the people was lowering his eyes slightly, with a smile on his lips, and holding a goblet filled with unusually bright red wine in his hand.

The black cape draped over him has a distinct bat-like element, and his identity is self-evident.

Apparently, the man sitting in the middle of the painting is a vampire.

This was apparent as early as the first day they saw the painting.

Several players from the West, in particular, discussed the painting for several minutes.

Among them, Christie and Hicks stared at the painting the longest.

Therefore, Hicks also discovered that there was something wrong with the painting.

"Why are there three people missing?"
