"No need to go."
A voice sounded, stopping the white-haired butler.
Cronin looked in the direction of the voice and saw the young man on Su Shiming's left.
Just now his attention was all on Su Shiming, and only now did he see clearly.
The moment he saw clearly, his heart sank suddenly, Xiao Chen!
He was no stranger to Xiao Chen.
I've never seen him in person before, but I've seen photos.
"Cronin, right? Don't bother worrying about it. The strong men in your manor are either dead or controlled."
Xiao Chen looked at Cronin and said lightly.
"So... now all you can do is stop playing tricks and behave yourself."
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Cronin's face changed again. Although there were not many strong people in his manor, there were still a few.
Swish!
Before Cronin could say anything, the white-haired butler moved.
He rushed towards Su Shiming at an extremely fast speed.
Obviously he realized that as long as Su Shiming was caught, there was still a chance to turn the game around tonight!
Swish!
A very bright cold light appeared out of nowhere and slashed towards the white-haired butler.
"ah!"
A scream was heard, and the white-haired butler flew backwards, blood gushing out.
He fell to the ground and twitched... There was a wound deep enough to see the bone on his chest.
This is a fatal blow.
Xue Chunqiu had a blank expression on his face and slowly put away his knife.
Xiao Chen glanced at Xue Chunqiu. Old Xue is so awesome. He is getting more and more powerful.
This white-haired butler has almost the strength of an innate level.
What's the result?
Just one knife!
However, he also knew that this was a blow that Xue Chunqiu had been preparing for. Although it was only one blow, it was better than dozens of blows.
Cronin's expression changed as he looked at the white-haired butler lying in a pool of blood.
“Ahem…”
The white-haired butler coughed up blood, his face full of pain, and gradually became motionless.
He also didn't expect that the enemy would be so strong!
"Cronin, won't you invite us in and sit down?"
The smile on Su Shiming's face never changed.
"please!"
Cronin gritted his teeth and made room for the door.
He knew very well that it would be difficult to turn the tables tonight.
"Um."
Su Shiming nodded and walked inside.
Xiao Chen and Xue Chunqiu stood on both sides to protect Su Shiming, just in case there was any danger.
"Cronin, you haven't changed in these years. You are very elegant... You still like drinking red wine."
Su Shiming looked at the red wine on the table and smiled.
As for the broken glass on the ground and the wine stains on the wall, he ignored them.
"Would you like a drink?"
Cronin took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He thought that since a turnaround was unlikely, he should first find out the purpose of Su Shiming's visit.
"OK."
Su Shiming nodded.
"Everyone knows that you, Cronin, like to collect red wine, and they are all top-quality red wines."
Hearing Su Shiming's words, Xiao Chen's eyes lit up slightly. The best red wine?
He likes it too!
"Please take a seat."
Cronin said, picking up the decanter and pouring it into a few glasses.
"God X, long time no see."
Cronin picked up two wine glasses and handed one to Su Shiming.
At this moment, he has calmed down and regained his composure.
If there hadn't been a dead body at the door and a faint smell of blood filling the air, this would have been a meeting of old friends.
"Mr. Xiao, and this one, don't be polite either."
Cronin said to Xiao Chen and Xue Chunqiu.
"Haha, I won't be polite."
Xiao Chen said with a smile and picked up the glass.
Xue Chunqiu, who was standing next to him, glanced at Xiao Chen. Why did he feel that... there was something wrong with the way this boy smiled?
However, he didn't think much about it and didn't touch the glass... He was not very interested in red wine.
If it was Old Devil Zhao who was here, he would definitely be able to see something.
These words, this smile…there’s just something wrong!
"Well, it's really a top-grade red wine, not bad."
Xiao Chen took a sip and his eyes became brighter.
"Haha, although Cronin is not a very good person, his red wine is still very good."
Su Shiming also drank red wine and smiled.
“…”
Cronin's hands shook and he almost broke the glass.
Is there anyone who speaks like that?
Xiao Chen almost laughed out loud. His father-in-law was too disrespectful to Cronin.
"Cronin, take a seat."
Su Shiming said to Cronin.
"good."
Cronin nodded and was about to sit down when he suddenly felt something was wrong... Whose territory is this?
However, he looked at Xiao Chen, then at Xue Chunqiu, and still said nothing, and sat down obediently.
"It's been many years since we last met, Cronin. Sometimes, I still dream about you."
Su Shiming looked at Cronin and said slowly.
"God X, we also miss you very much. When you left... Alas, it's a good thing you left. Later, a great disaster happened in the 'universe'."
Cronin said quite sincerely.
“…”
Xiao Chen looked at Su Shiming and then at Cronin. They were all actors, and each one had better acting skills than the other.
He didn't say anything. This was his father-in-law's home court, and he just came to join in the fun... no, to drink some red wine.
If his father-in-law ordered him to do so, he would do some rough work.
"I heard that the whole world collapsed... Everything was reduced to ashes."
Su Shiming nodded.
"If it hadn't been for this disaster, I think we would have seen it a long time ago."
"You know?"
Cronin was slightly surprised, then nodded.
"God X, no matter what, the fact that we can still meet today is... well, what you Chinese people call 'fate'.
"Haha, it seems like you are very happy to meet old friends."
Su Shiming smiled.
"Of course, of course I am happy."
Cronin nodded.
"Hehe, before coming here, I met with Pearson, but he didn't seem very happy."
Su Shiming continued.
Hearing this, Cronin's face changed slightly.
They had already guessed about Pearson and his group, but it was still different when they heard Su Shiming say it now.
"Pearson..."
Cronin asked tentatively.
"He was unhappy, and then I was unhappy... and when I was unhappy, he died."
Su Shiming took a sip of red wine and smiled.
“…”
Cronin's eyes narrowed, but he said nothing.
Xiao Chen almost choked. This was just his father-in-law. If he wanted to change him to someone else... listen, is this human language?
"Cronin, are you glad to see me?"
Su Shiming asked.
"Of course I am happy. Didn't I just say it? It's no reason for me not to be happy when old friends meet again."
Cronin said hurriedly, he was afraid that if he said something unhappy, and Su Shiming was unhappy... he would die.
"Haha, that's good."
Su Shiming smiled and put down his glass.
"Oh, by the way, were you leaving here just now?"
"Well, no, I just want to go out for a stroll..."
Cronin shook his head.
"Hehe, I thought you knew I was coming and wanted to leave."
Su Shiming's smile widened.
"How is that possible? I'm so happy that you're here."
Cronin said seriously.
"But God X, you too, should have said hello to me before you came, so I can arrange a welcome ceremony for you."
"A welcoming ceremony? Like, dozens of experts?"
Su Shiming looked a little amused.
"Well, of course not... God X, you know what? Today's 'universe' is different from before. The gods are all dead. Elsi has become the 'main god', and I am now one of the gods."
Cronin changed the subject.
"Yeah, I heard Mike tell me that."
Su Shiming nodded.
“…”
The smile on Cronin's face froze and he cursed in his heart. It turned out that that bastard Mike betrayed him!
"Congratulations, Cronin, you have become a 'God'."
Su Shiming said.
"No, no... God X, back when you were in X, you were called 'God X'. No one is more qualified to be a 'God' than you."
Cronin looked at Su Shiming and his tone became more serious.
"Don't even mention God. Even if it's the 'Lord God', I think you have the qualifications."
"Lord God? Haha, isn't the Lord God Elsie?"
Su Shiming smiled.
"He... Oh, yes, Elsie said that he hopes you can return to the 'universe'. By then, you will be the real 'God X', or even the second main god."
Cronin said hurriedly.
"The second main god? Don't mention it, it's quite tempting."
Su Shiming nodded.
"Pearson didn't tell me about the 'Second Lord'."
“…”
Cronin forced a smile and said, "What the hell? He just made it up."
How could he be the second Lord God!
Even if I go back, I will find a way to get rid of him!
However, in order to survive, he naturally had to say something that Su Shiming would like to hear.
"Pearson once asked me if I would return to 'Universe'. Guess what I answered him?"
Su Shiming looked at Cronin.
"You...you refused?"
Cronin hesitated. It was not difficult to guess that if he agreed, Pearson would not die.
"right."
Su Shiming nodded.
"He said I refused, which only leaves the second option...kill me."
"He died a good death!"
Cronin said immediately.
"This guy is obviously jealous of you becoming the second main god, so he deliberately didn't mention the matter of 'second main god'. How can a mere 'god' be worthy of you, God X? You must be the 'second main god'."
"hehe."
Su Shiming looked at Cronin and smiled.
Xiao Chen also wanted to laugh. It was not easy for Cronin to stay alive.
"Kronin, do you think this 'Second Lord God' is worthy of me?"
Su Shiming asked.
“…”
Cronin was stunned. What did this mean?
He looked at Su Shiming, and a thought popped up in his mind, right?
"God X, you mean... the first, no, main god? The one and only main god?"
Cronin asked hesitantly.
"What do you think?"
Su Shiming asked back with a smile.
“…”
Cronin's heart sank. Did he really have such an idea?
The main god today is Elsie!
Su Shiming wants to destroy Elsie and become the main god?
"Why aren't you talking?"
Su Shiming asked.
"I... I certainly think that God X is suitable to be the main god. Apart from God X, no one else is qualified!"
Cronin speaks volumes!
