Chapter 21: The Man Behind the Scenes (2/2)



Dorothy finished reading the note in her hand, and then looked around. She found that the surrounding environment was now silent. Countless eyes were fixed on the glass bottle in front of Dorothy, filled with eager greed, even more eager than when she read the secret book before!

It's spiritual! A high content of spiritual items! Compared to other messy things, just eating this thing directly is an improvement to oneself! It greatly narrows the distance between you and the real extraordinary people!

The atmosphere of desire filled the air in the meeting. If Gray Hill had not been present, someone would have stepped forward to snatch Dorothy's bottle. Among the greedy eyes, there were two eyes that were full of cruelty.

The two men's eyes were not fixed on Dorothy's bottle, but on Dorothy herself...

The atmosphere at the party gradually became tense. As Dorothy took out her merchandise, a sense of silent anxiety lingered in everyone's heart. Huiqiu, who was sitting on the main seat, stared at the contents of the bottle that Dorothy took out for a moment, then opened his mouth and spoke slowly.

"Little girl... do you know what the consequences will be if you suddenly sell something that originally belonged to the Red Holy Communion in this city? Do you dare to sell it?"

Red Communion...

After hearing Huiqiu's words, everyone at the party couldn't help but gasp, and then those greedy eyes disappeared one by one. After knowing the original owner of the item, no one dared to have any bad thoughts.

Even after they realized that the things Dorothy took out belonged to the Red Communion, the believers sitting on both sides of her unconsciously moved their chairs, wanting to stay away from Dorothy.

Dorothy, on the other hand, continued to speak in an innocent tone.

"Ah, what is the Crimson Communion? What is that? I don't know... but..."

Then Dorothy thought for a moment, then pretended to look at the paper in her hand, and then she spoke.

"However, although I don't know what the Red Holy Communion is, I think Mr. Huiqiu definitely doesn't take it seriously, so as long as Mr. Huiqiu dares to accept it, I dare to sell it!"

As soon as Dorothy finished speaking, there was silence. After a moment, Gray Hill suddenly burst into laughter.

“Hahahaha… If I dare to buy, you dare to sell?… Well said little girl! Who taught you those words just now?”

Hearing Gray Hill's words, Dorothy pretended to be frightened, then immediately hid the note in her hand behind her back, and then spoke anxiously.

"No, no one taught me! I said it myself!"

"Haha... okay, okay... that's what you said... that's what you said..."

Seeing Dorothy's reaction, Huiqiu laughed, then he waved to the servant beside him. The servant immediately picked up the box in front of Huiqiu and placed it in front of Dorothy, and then put away the bottle in front of Dorothy.

"It's easy to succeed, little girl, you can take your things away, but I'm here to advise you not to come to such a place next time, even if someone offers you a lot of money, don't come, no amount of money can buy life..." As he spoke, Huiqiu waved his hand, stood up from his seat, and announced.

"The meeting is adjourned..."

As Huiqiu announced the adjournment of the meeting, everyone at the meeting stood up, bowed to Huiqiu, and left the scene one after another. Dorothy also walked up the stairs holding the box containing the secret message and left the basement. Among the crowd, there were always two people whose eyes were fixed on her whereabouts.

Dorothy walked through the wooden door and entered the Dark Water Alley. Then she looked around to the left and ran quickly in one direction. Behind her, two figures followed her from a distance.

Still wearing the cloak, Dorothy ran through the alleys of the city, turning and twisting her way forward, while behind her, two figures followed her closely.

As she ran, the corners of Dorothy's mouth curled up slightly under her mask.

“You’ve all followed me, right? The followers of the Holy Communion…”

While thinking, Dorothy quietly took out the secret book in the box and hid it in her cloak. Then she turned a corner and entered a dark alley. In the alley, a figure stood there with his back to her.

Dorothy paused for a moment when she came to the figure with his back to her. After the follower arrived, Dorothy raised the empty box in her hand and spoke loudly in a naive tone.

"Sir! I have completed everything you arranged! Here are the things you bought! Please take a look!"

As Dorothy called out, the figure with his back to her slowly turned around, revealing his face.

He has deep eye sockets, a hooked nose, a pale and thin face, a dark red suit, a top hat, and a cane. He is dressed like a gentleman with a cold look in his eyes.

This is none other than Edric Grandy, Dorothy's corpse doll...
