"Let me tell you slowly..."

Lin Zhongtian lowered his head slightly, trying his best not to let Vlad see his expression. At the same time, he spoke in a tone that was calmer than the real Zuo Yu, selectively telling him what he knew.

When Vlad heard the part about Zuo Yu's parents being killed, he clenched his fists, then loosened them weakly.

At his age, he has seen everything about the world. It was no wonder that he could not tell that Zuo Yu's parents died because of the congressman's involvement. This way of death made him feel much more sad than a real vendetta.

Is it really true that good people don’t get rewarded in this world?

Vlad thought sadly.

Suddenly, his body stiffened, as if he thought of something. He raised his head abruptly and looked at Lin Zhongtian with flickering eyes.

Lin Zhongtian noticed his gaze, raised his head, looked at him calmly, and said the words before him.

"You want to ask why I survived, right?"

Vlad couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Lin Zhongtian expressed his doubts before him.

In his impression, the young master was a quiet and shy boy. Although he had a high IQ and good grades, he was very slow in the ways of the world and could not even figure out his parents' thoughts on weekdays.

But now, he suddenly saw through his own thoughts...

Could it be that because of the death of his parents, he had an epiphany overnight?

Vlad looked hesitant and nodded, indicating that he did think so.

Lin Zhongtian looked into his eyes and asked seriously, "Vlad, can I trust you?"

Vlad looked at Lin Zhongtian deeply, suddenly took out a dagger from behind, cut a line on his palm, clenched his fist, knelt on one knee facing Lin Zhongtian, rested his elbow on his knee, and raised his fist dripping with blood.

"I, Vlad Rosenberg, swear in the name of the seventeenth generation of knights of my family to be loyal to my lord and to be loyal and stay by his side until death."

"……very good."

Lin Zhongtian nodded with a strange look on his face.

He hadn't expected Vlad to react so strongly.

This scene also appeared in Zuo Yu's memory, which was the scene where Vlad swore an oath to his father after becoming the butler.

According to the process in Zuo Yu's memory, he should take the dagger, cut a line on his palm, and then put his palm together with the other person's hand, wound to wound, and the loyalty ceremony would be completed.

From then on, the master and servant became one body and one flesh, and you are in me and I am in you.

No matter whether the future brings good or bad luck, there must be a place for loyalists at the host's table.

Lin Zhongtian was somewhat interested in this ancient ceremony of knightly allegiance.

But if he really had to shake hands with his wounds touching each other, he would find it hard to accept.

After thinking about it, Lin Zhongtian took the dagger, cut a line on his palm, and then held it in front of Vlad.

Vlad thought the young master didn't understand the process and was about to explain when he was suddenly shocked to find that the long and narrow bloody wound on the young master's palm was healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Master, this..."

Vlad was horrified and stood up suddenly.

Lin Zhongtian looked calm as he explained, "This is why I survived."

Vlad recovered and looked at the young master's calm face with hesitation: "Young master, how long have you been like this?"

“Not long after.” Lin Zhongtian turned his head and looked at the freezer, sighing, “I only discovered that I had this ability after I came back from the dead. I woke up in a van with my parents’ bodies beside me… I was a little scared, so I asked the driver to stop the car, but he didn’t want to stop, so I had to grab his gun and kill him.”

"After I got off the car, I found that I had been transported to a garbage disposal plant outside the city. My body was about to be destroyed. I had no choice but to kill all the people in the garbage disposal plant, burn their piles of garbage, and blow up the safe house where they were hiding. Only then did I barely escape..."

Lin Zhongtian said the most brutal words in the most cowardly tone, which made Vlad hesitate to speak, not knowing whether he should speak to comfort the young master.

After listening to Lin Zhongtian's entire story, Vlad's cheek muscles twitched, and he hesitated for a moment, and could only say one sentence.

"Thank you for your hard work, Master."

“…”

Lin Zhongtian glanced at him and continued: "I want revenge, are you willing to help me?"

Vlad's face straightened and he said without hesitation, "Of course!"

Lin Zhongtian nodded and said, "Very good. Go investigate tomorrow to find out who Uncle Zhou's political enemies are, pick out the most likely targets for murder, and then..."

Having said that, Lin Zhongtian paused, recalled the information he had learned from the blond man's memory, and asked.

“Do you know the Continental Hotel?”

"Know."

Vlad nodded, and tactfully did not ask Lin Zhongtian how he knew that.

Lin Zhongtian took out a gold coin from his pocket and asked, "Do you have such a gold coin at home?"

Vlad took it and looked at it, then nodded and said, "Yes, they are all in the safe in the master's study, but... the combination of the safe is only known by the master, not even the young lady knows it, let alone me."

Lin Zhongtian said calmly: "It's okay, take me there."

Vlad was startled and found that the young master seemed to become mysterious tonight.

After hesitating for a while, Vlad nodded and prepared to take the young master to his father's study.

After closing the door of the secret room, Vlad suddenly thought of something and turned around and said, "By the way, Master, the area around the villa is heavily guarded. The streets outside the villa are full of surveillance cameras, and there are police cars patrolling from morning to night. You drove a black street sweeper's car into the villa. Although you will not be stopped by the police car, you will definitely be remembered."

"Once they find out that the garbage treatment plant outside the city has been destroyed, they might find out about us..."

Before Vlad could finish speaking, Lin Zhongtian interrupted him by shaking his head.

"Don't worry, no one saw me when I came back."

"…Master, are you sure?"

Vlad was still a little skeptical, but seeing Lin Zhongtian's affirmative look, he had to end the topic.

Of course, Lin Zhongtian was not seen by anyone. After he found out that Zuo Yu's home was in Beverly Hills, he asked his golden-armored god general clone to fly in carrying the black van, and avoided all surveillance with his white-eye vision.

The only trace left was the surveillance camera at the entrance of Zuo’s manor.

Lin Zhongtian was not worried about this part and would let Vlad deal with it later.

Arriving at Zuo Yu's father's study, Lin Zhongtian glanced at the west wall of the study.

There was a silk ink painting hanging there, and the signature was clearly Tang Yin of Jinchang, also known as Tang Bohu, a famous Ming Dynasty talent.

Considering the financial resources of Zuo Yu's parents, this ink painting on silk should not be a fake, but an authentic work of Tang Bohu that has never been published.

Vlad carefully took down the ink painting on silk and knocked on the wall a few times.

The partition that was originally tightly fitted to the wall suddenly popped open, revealing a hidden safe inside.

To be honest, Lin Zhongtian originally planned to use force to open the safe, but now he found that the safe was actually embedded, and violent destruction could easily shake the entire wall, leading to some unexpected situations.

There was no other way. Considering that this clone might have to live here in the future, Lin Zhongtian could only think of another way.

It just so happened that the safe had an old-fashioned mechanical turntable lock. Lin Zhongtian could easily open it by simply turning on his white eye-like vision and observing the internal mechanical structure while turning the black turntable lock.

Soon, Lin Zhongtian opened the safe.

There are three layers in total. The first layer contains two pistols and six magazines full of bullets. The second layer contains three stacks of cash in denominations of one hundred and six ten-ounce gold bars. The third layer contains gold coins issued by the mysterious High Table organization and a stack of papers sealed in an opaque packaging bag.

Lin Zhongtian took out the gold coins and counted them carefully, and couldn't help but frowned.

"Sixty gold coins, seems a bit too little..."
