arrogant
The door of the hovercraft in mid-air had clearly been opened, but the people inside did not come out.
The Ministry of Finance, as one of the major departments of the Special Management Bureau, opened a company under the name of a subsidiary of the Sky Group. Everyone present was also considered a company dog, but they were dogs under the executive officer of the Ministry of Finance.
However, because the CEOs have a noble status and are only under the jurisdiction of Zhenshanhe, their status is naturally much higher than that of other company personnel.
But because it involved the nobility, and everyone knew what a dissolute woman Miss Foster, the fiancée of the Executive Officer of the Ministry of Finance, was, no one dared to step forward and take a peek for fear of seeing something they shouldn't see and losing their lives.
Everyone stood outside the car in silence, waiting with their heads down. After a while, the neatly dressed young lady came out of the car with her male pet.
Neatly dressed is a rough way of saying it; there are slight signs of wrinkles in the hem of her skirt.
——It is even more obvious when looking at the young man following behind her.
The young man who was originally wearing the butler's uniform must have been capriciously dragged by the young lady to play some small games that made people smile knowingly in the car. He only had time to put on his shirt. The buttons on his collar were not completely fastened, revealing large red marks and residual red wax, and the leather collar on his neck was completely exposed.
He didn't care at all. He bent his beautiful arms and buttoned his cufflinks with his head down. The marks on his wrists from being tied were obviously caused by his tie that had disappeared somewhere.
Noticing everyone's furtive gazes, he raised his eyes and smiled gently and calmly.
——Hiss, isn’t Miss Foster playing too fiercely?
He is so dazzling that he looks like a saint walking out of an oil painting. How could you bear to kill him in such a state?
...However, this young man was really unlucky. He happened to be brought here by Miss Foster today. As a result, he was spotted by their Minister of Finance, who ordered them to be sent to the guest rooms on the top floor.
The people waiting all felt sorry for her, but they could only walk forward and bow their heads and say, "Ms. Foster, the minister invites you to dinner."
"Hmm? I know. Your minister's secretary told me when I came here." Miss Foster shook her golden hair indifferently.
The one who led the group and had the highest rank said to the arrogant noble lady, "You are alone, and your... this butler needs to be separated from you temporarily..."
"Alone?"
Hearing this, Wu Fu, who was disguised as Miss Foster, was startled. He almost thought that the senior from the Ministry of Finance had noticed that he and Wu Ci were going to fight and had come to separate them.
He felt a little regretful for not listening to Wu Ci and coming up with an action plan first. He subconsciously wanted to control the group of senior officials from the Ministry of Finance in front of him right now.
Wu Ci pinched his fingers just right, lowered her head slightly, and whispered in his ear in a cryptic way, but her gentle and calm tone was reassuring. "Don't worry, Miss. No matter what, I will be waiting for you."
Wu Fu felt the movement of his fingers rubbing together in just a few breaths and recognized the short code: [IDENTITY].
Combined with what Wu Ci said, it means...combine your identity and adapt flexibly?
But... in the territory of a senior with unknown ability, it is definitely unsafe for the two of them to separate...
How did the nobles act so unreasonably?
Wu Fu raised his chin towards the nodding and bowing finance executives, and uttered an arrogant rebuke in a disguised female voice, "Commoner, are you ordering me around?"
The executives in suits and leather shoes knelt down one after another. "…Please forgive me, Miss Foster. This is what the minister meant."
The eyes of the blond noble lady flashed with anger. "Are you using your minister to pressure me? Who does he think he is? A bastard who thinks he can insult the nobles who have been passed down for many years just because he has the ability? Does he think he has a background like all his other CEO colleagues?"
"Please...please be careful with your words, young lady."
"Be careful with your words?" Wu Fu, who was originally planning to provoke her senior Yu Xuan, seemed to have heard a huge joke, and her red lips under the black veil curled up in an evil way, "Our Forster family was personally appointed by Madam Ines. My ancestor had an old relationship with Madam Ines, so Madam treats me as a junior... I am different from other petty nobles who can be easily manipulated by you corporate dogs. Otherwise, why do you think your minister wants to marry me?"
She sneered contemptuously, "A bastard is a bastard. Even if he stood in front of me, would he dare to touch me?"
In a situation where both sides were offended, no one kneeling on the ground dared to say a word.
Even Wu Ci, who was standing behind Wu Fu, was stunned by his words.
The title of the Folster family was conferred by Lady Ines herself, and the ancestor was related to Lady Ines? If there was no duplication of names, then this Lady Ines was referring to the queen mother who had lived for an unknown period of time.
But how could he not know? Wasn't his title conferred by the foreign princess he had escorted before?
Wait... that foreign princess from the time of Solomon killed her husband to take the throne... and Lady Ines happens to be the behind-the-scenes ruler who has lived from the time of Solomon to the present, and she also created a puppet emperor, Polaris, and Princess Morningstar who is in charge of the affairs of the empire...
Detect the elements of witchcraft.
So, Lady Ines is the foreign princess from that year?
This truth is quite shocking.
The main thing is that the Internet has been saying that Lady Ines is a cruel, vicious, arrogant, greedy and vicious woman. In addition, Wu Ci considers herself to be an enemy of Lady Ines because of Princess Chenxi, so she doesn't have a good impression of Lady Ines.
But in the simulation, he participated in the war to destroy her country as a crusader, escorted her as a hostage, and deceived her mechanical heart... But Lady Ines actually knighted him! And has been taking care of his simulated family for many years!
What kind of good person is this? Even if she was brainwashed too much by him, she is still a kind-hearted girl. If he treated her better, he could have secretly killed her father and adopted her as his daughter. At this age, she would be a royal relative!
Wu Ci could hardly hold back and immediately restarted the simulator to raise Inès as his own daughter.
He was daydreaming in the back, while Wu Fu, who was standing in front, was still trying to act like a shrewd young lady. "I'll give you two choices. Either you lead the way, or I'll go back and my engagement with your minister will end."
The finance department executives who were kneeling on the ground laughed uglier than crying, "Please don't make things difficult for us..."
Wu Fu said that even going so far as to excite their senior Yu Xuan was not enough, and it was time to give them a step down.
Wu Ci pretended to look at the person on the ground with pity, then whispered softly into the blond lady's ear, "Miss, please bear with it for a while. I'll be waiting for you outside."
Wu Fu obviously knew how to react and walked down the stairs, tilting his head impatiently, "Humph! Since you said so..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the kneeling people felt relieved, and their emotions towards Wu Ci changed into a complex tangle of pity, gratitude, guilt, and reluctance.
"Please, please..."
Following the cautious greetings, Wu Fu, who was disguised as Miss Foster, was escorted away, and Wu Ci separated from Wu Fu.
The person who stayed with him was a middle-aged man with most of his hair bald. "Well, thank you for what I said just now. Stay still and don't run around. Be obedient when you meet an important person, maybe you can suffer less..."
As he spoke, he took out a rope and pretended to tie Wu Ci's hands behind his back.
I thought he would be resisted and questioned, and the man was ready to draw his gun, but Wu Ci obeyed directly, without any resistance, and handed his hand to him in a position that was convenient for him to tie him up. He showed that he was easy to talk to, and did not ask any more questions. He even comforted him with a few words, "Okay, but you are a little nervous, are you okay? In return for your advice, do you need me to understand your difficulties?"
“…Thank you. No thanks.”
The middle-aged man Xie Ding took out a silver chip from his suit trouser pocket and placed it in Wu Ci's bound hand, "Take it."
Wu Ci took it with a humble smile, "This is——"
In an instant, the space was distorted, and Wuci, who hadn't even finished his words, appeared in a luxurious suite.
"—What?"
Wu Ci turned around in confusion and found that the place he was in was completely different from the rooftop in Midtown just now. Even his position had changed, from standing to lying down.
A salty smell came into his nostrils, like the smell of sea breeze.
There was no one around for the time being, but in order to prevent the presence of surveillance equipment, Wu Ci did not use the heroic spirit "Chu Ci" to help him cut the rope with a sword. In order to ensure the integrity of the rope, he did not use any strength at all, for fear that the rope would break accidentally. He only relied on his body's resilience, bent his overly long legs, wrapped his hands around the front, and bit open the knot with his teeth.
The rope was freed, he turned his neck, held the silver chips that the middle-aged man had given him, climbed down from the suspicious rose-red four-poster large round bed, passed through the layers of gauze that fluttered in the sea breeze, and left the bed.
The room he was in was very big, and it looked like a one-story suite. It was very high and he could even see the blue sea outside the terrace.
But isn't there no sunlight on the dark planet? How could there be a blue coast that is not frozen but sparkling under the bright sunshine?
This is so strange, Wu Ci thought, it was like leaping into another dimension.
It was a bit like when he and Black Cat reached the mezzanine in the other space through the back door of the elevator in the Dusk Bar.
Is it the chips? Are the chips the key? Is it the ability of Yushun or his hero?
Wu Ci spread out his palm and examined the silver chip.
It is about two knuckles wide, with one side representing the number "1", and the other side representing a faceless person wearing fancy clothes and an exaggerated wig.
Wu Ci put away the chips and began to check the surroundings.
The gate was locked. The terrace was very high and there was nothing but endless sea below.
There were candlesticks with unlit candles around the gauze curtains of the round bed.
Looking at the surrounding furnishings, there are many expensive disposable daily necessities, which seem to be used to entertain distinguished guests?
To be honest, he really didn't understand why Senior Yu Xuan had kidnapped him and sent him here. Was he giving him as a small gift to the guests?
Isn't his ostensible role Miss Foster's male lover?
Tie up your fiancée's male pet and send him off to see off the guests?
Isn't this too outrageous? There are still traces of the Five Talismans on his body, and they just tied him up and sent him here?
What kind of distinguished customer would buy second-hand goods?
Or are all the people in this world as careless as the aristocrats who love to party?
Could it be that the customer had just played this game?
Wu Ci felt a chill all over his body, took off his cufflinks, and immediately planned to unlock the door and sneak out to find the five talismans.
Because of his life on the run in his previous life, he had some experience in picking locks and taking materials from anywhere. No matter how bad the conditions were, he had never encountered a lock that he could not open in his career.
The cufflink's top pin poked into the door's intricate metal lock, which clicked in less than three seconds, almost faster than opening it with a key.
As soon as he opened the door a little, Wu Ci's excellent hearing enabled him to hear a conversation coming from a corner far away in the corridor.
A middle-aged woman's voice said, "In order to join our Seven Sins Council, Yu Xuan not only brought a large amount of funds, but also said that he had prepared a very powerful little surprise for me, the envoy, which is absolutely in line with the aesthetics of our sect.
I guess he bribed me to build a good relationship with me, and the young boy who sent me there said he was in the front room and would let me play with it after I was done playing with it.
A middle-aged man said hesitantly, "If the arrogant master finds out about our bribery, won't he kill us? And the master won't allow us to touch little boys and girls."
"Lord Pride is very busy. If we can't get in touch with him for such a long time, he must be busy with important matters. He might even be about to recall the Savior. How can he care about us little guys?
We are high-ranking officials outside, and our status in the eyes of the adults is not that high. How could the adults notice our corruption, bribery, and embezzlement of public funds? And just to prevent bad luck and getting caught, I specifically asked if the one inside was an adult. Yu Xuan said he looked 19, one year older than an adult! "
The Council of Seven Sins? The Savior?
I haven't heard of it much, but it seems like I've heard of it.
Wu Ci searched his brain hard and found that there was indeed such a term.
It is a terrorist organization more terrifying than the 12 wandering cults in the wilderness that believe in evil gods. The name of the evil god they believe in is unknown, but the members of the council firmly believe that there was once a savior sent by the main god they worship, who was killed by humans before his business was halfway established.
So they carried out terrorist attacks, captured and massacred tens of thousands of cities on the Dark Star, and used them as sacrifices to the evil god to recall the savior.
Their management seems to have a total of seven councillors, corresponding to the seven deadly sins of mankind: Pride, Envy, Wrath, Laziness, Greed, Gluttony, and Lust.
I firmly believe that humanity must be judged by its original sin, and only in this way can the savior be found to save humanity.
Precisely because they are a group of lunatics who are even more deranged than the Wandering Order and the Wildermen, they are hated by everyone in the entire Dark Star. When the Twelve Orders, the Sky Group, and the Dark Star Royal Family see them, they have to unite to kill the Council of Seven Sins first.
The "Arrogant Sir" mentioned by the woman and the man should be the head of the Seven Sins Council.
However, Wu Ci didn't understand what benefits made their senior Yu Xuan want to join the Council of Seven Sins?
Considering the reputation and style of the Seven Sins Council, if Zhen Shanhe knew about it, he would have to clean up the clan himself for the sake of his reputation, right?
However, that was only possible after I went out and told Zhen Shanhe. Now it was too late even to notify Zhen Shanhe. The identity bracelet could not connect to external signals in this alien space, it could only connect to the internal space.
If we want to contact them, besides Wu Fu, there is also Senior Yu Xuan who wanted to join the Seven Sins Council and used his gifts to build relationships.
Wu Ci narrowed his eyes and stopped thinking about it.
The Seven Sins Council has a great reputation and its background is unknown. It would not be a good idea to confront them directly. It would be better to go back to bed and pretend to be a weak, pitiful, helpless and confused young man who was captured.
Anyway, the original body is about 1.8 meters tall, and because of his Heroic Spirit [Weak] entry, his skin, which has not been exposed to the sun for a long time, is too sickly and pale, so it is not impossible to pretend to be weak. When the time comes, he can take advantage of their unpreparedness and summon the Heroic Spirit to kill the two council members together.
If he can't beat him, he will just use the [Personal Coming] mode to simulate the second round of the Solomon Empire period, and come up with a powerful hero before trying again. Anyway, the [Personal Coming] mode can adjust the time ratio, so he can come back in an instant.
After thinking about this, Wu Ci closed the door and returned to the big round bed which looked very bad at first glance. He used ropes to pretend that he was still tied up.
After a few breaths, the door creaked open.
A man and a woman walked into the room through the veil.
"The environment is not bad." The middle-aged man looked around and commented, "If we can successfully recall the savior, the world will become beautiful again, and we can see the sun again. We no longer have to face the sky where there are no stars and shrink in the gaps between subway pipes and space."
"Why bother with so many long-term plans now? Just enjoy yourself while you are committing corruption and bribery!" The woman in gold and silver rushed into the gauze curtain eagerly.
The young man with pale blue eyes had somewhat messy half-long black hair, and his white shirt was unbuttoned, revealing his chest and collarbone with large patches of ambiguous red marks and artificially dripped wax. He had a leather collar around his neck, and even his hands were tied behind his back with a red rope.
Very much, it fits what Yuxuan said about giving Jing'er.
——Pu Tong
The woman was so shocked that she fell to her knees, buried her face in the floor, and trembled like a sieve.
"Chun Xiuzhi? Did you fall?"
The man heard the noise and walked into the veil, glancing at the small gift on the bed.
——Pu Tong
He knelt down too.
The man hit his head hard on the ground, and he shouted with a trembling voice, "Arrogant... Arrogant Sir... I didn't see anything..."
