After a pause, Anthony continued:
"He killed me once."
Kill?
Sophie wanted to refute it immediately, but then she suddenly remembered something.
When I found Anthony, he was in such a terrible state!
With most of his bones broken and countless wounds on his body, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he had indeed died once.
Sophie had previously entered a state of feigned death thanks to a special item she carried, which is why she was able to remain until the end as an ordinary person.
During the period of her apparent death, she was unaware of what was happening in the outside world. When she woke up, everything was over.
After a moment of silence, Anthony, his forehead slightly sweaty, finished his glass of red wine, as if waking from a nightmare, and slowly began to speak:
“When I look into his eyes, I always see unfamiliar images flashing before my eyes.”
A nameless fear lingers in my heart, and a pair of cruel, scarlet eyes keep flashing through my mind...
Just as Anthony was about to immerse himself in that fragmented image once again, Sophie suddenly let go of his arm, which brought him back to his senses.
What's wrong?
Puzzled, I looked down and saw Sophie adjusting her clothes and other details while whispering:
"Don't overthink it, it's all an illusion, Anthony."
Is it just an illusion?
"Is it because that great being descended through his body? You're just confusing that feeling."
The power of the Stargazers shocked everyone, and Ning Feng, as the vessel, also left a deep impression on them.
"If you feel unwell, go back to your room and rest. If you don't like what happens next, I won't let you stay with me."
After adjusting the details, Sophie flashed the standard smile of a Silver Council diplomat, glanced at Anthony, and then gracefully walked toward the center of the hall.
Watching his fiancée walk towards the social scene, Anthony did not follow. He stayed behind and took a glass of wine from a passing maid.
"...Perhaps that's the case."
There were still some things he didn't tell Sophie. Anthony's intuition told him that Ning Feng's feelings for him might not be just because he saw the shadow of that person.
"Why, why do I feel this way? I always feel like he could kill me so easily?"
as well as……
Anthony mimicked a lingering image in his mind, extending his right hand and making a loose clenching motion in front of him.
"That person seemed to be saying... a small lesson?"
Thinking hard, Anthony murmured in bewilderment:
"That's hardly a small punishment!"
...
...
On the other side of the ball, Rod stood solemnly holding a wine glass, oblivious to the people passing by. He stood like a nail in the middle of the hall.
He kept thinking about one thing, repeatedly recalling a sentence.
As Ning Feng brushed past him, the other man whispered those words in Luo De's ear with a soft laugh.
After a long silence, Rod looked up, somewhat puzzled, and murmured to himself with deep emotion:
"Could this be considered a blessing in disguise?"
I thought I was going to lose everything this time, but I was surprised to be favored by the Overwatch Club!
"After that, he asked me to go to Bincheng to find him... What was it about?"
Not far behind Rhodes, who was deep in thought, Fran, the vampire awakener, twitched her nose in a strange way.
After Ning Feng and Xi Lin left, she stared at the ground they had passed, and finally murmured to herself with some uncertainty:
"Could it be..."
...
...
"So why did you run away on your own?"
Ariana, as if she had been holding it in for a long time, kept asking Ning Feng questions incessantly:
"According to the conventional storyline, you should be there enjoying the adulation of beautiful women and getting involved with those legends who are interested in you, shouldn't you?"
That's probably the best way to handle it!
The black cat was excited, but Ning Feng refused.
"I think what you said is secondary, so there's no need to dwell on it anymore."
Stop, stop, let me tell you.
"Actually, I just don't want to lose a friend."
Number 86, a friend who knows a few secrets of his, though not many.
We got along quite well before, there's no need to make things so awkward.
In addition, Ning Feng genuinely felt that those things were unimportant; he had already obtained the most precious thing.
"And what I said to Andrew wasn't a lie; I really hated the way they talked and the way they looked at me."
They weren't looking at Ning Feng, but at his background, his talent, and the possible stargazer watching from behind.
They didn't care about Ning Feng himself, or rather, at this moment he only accounted for a very small part.
Ultimately, it all boils down to a lack of power; Ning Feng himself wasn't that important to them.
"And, most importantly, I really want to go home."
"I miss home so much right now, and I miss her so much."
"Wow! What a touching thought! How could you say such a scumbag thing as missing other women while hugging a woman!"
"But I don't mind at all~ because you're already having a pleasant chat with another woman."
hehe……
Ning Feng caught a glimpse of Xilin out of the corner of his eye, smiled slightly, tightened his grip on her arm, and said:
