Chapter 319 Rex
Banquet wing.
The main celebration has ended, and the remaining people who remain here are the more refined forces in this gathering.
"Hey, why do you think the boss wants to come and see Andre?" Ling Shuo leaned against the edge of the conference room and muttered to Qi Huang in confusion.
He is just a pope, with no real power or influence. Although he can speak in front of the British royal family, he is ultimately just an empty shell and is useless.
Qi Huang raised his eyebrows and looked at the two people who were chatting happily in the field.
"Why? I just want to be happy as the head of the family."
Today's banquet can be said to have solved a knot in Cheng Yi's heart. Perhaps it cannot be considered a knot in Cheng Yi's heart, but it can be considered a knot in Lu Qian's heart.
But it’s all the same, just solve it.
Qingli leaned aside, his face expressionless, but there was an obvious glimmer of curiosity in his eyes.
He held the wine glass and moved closer to Ling Shuo, "Hey, buddy."
Ling Shuo raised his eyes, "What?"
Qingli glanced around the venue, "Where's Leiya?"
"I went to find their boss."
"?" Qingli's eyes widened instantly.
He just said bad things about Lu Qian to Lei Ya. Wouldn't this woman go and complain?
Ling Shuo felt something was wrong when he saw his expression. He pursed his lips and asked helplessly, "Did you say bad things about Lu Qian to Lei Ya again?"
“…”
Ling Shuo looked at Qing Li's expression, raised his eyebrows, and advised earnestly: "I'm not saying anything bad about you, but don't you see how devoted she is to her husband? She wants to give her whole heart to Lu Qian.
If you're looking for someone to complain to, find someone suitable. Be careful not to push her too far and she might fight you to death."
“…”
Qingli suddenly felt panicked.
He didn't mean to tell Leia, the problem was that apart from Leia, almost no one came to his laboratory.
He had just learned to speak Italian in the last few months, and he had unknowingly started talking more, and once he started talking he couldn't stop.
If Leia really complained...
Qingli shuddered when he thought of this.
"I, I, I, I'm leaving first," Qingli shoved the wine glass into Ling Shuo's hand. "If Lu Qian asks, just say you haven't seen me!"
"Why!"
Ling Shuo just raised his hand to stop him, but Qingli, who was trying to escape, disappeared without a trace.
Ling Shuo shrugged helplessly as he watched Qingli's receding back.
As if he could get away with it.
“It’s a pleasure to work with you.”
Cheng Yi stood up and poured his glass towards Pope Andrew.
“It’s a pleasure to work with you.”
Andre also stood up and responded with a smile. He didn't mind Cheng Yi's rudeness. After all, the man was giving him enough face by condescending to see him.
Everyone in the venue breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the two of them end their conversation so harmoniously.
The atmosphere suddenly became relaxed from the previous tense, and the crowd began to become noisy.
"Snap, snap, snap."
Just when the atmosphere had just relaxed, a few slow rounds of applause suddenly rang out from behind the crowd.
"Sorry for the wait, everyone."
The voice, full of laughter but with a strange and eerie flavor, came through the crowd.
Cheng Yi, with his back to the visitor, raised his eyebrows deeply.
After all these years, he still remembers this voice clearly.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of people walking in from the side hall door.
The person walking in the front, like the moon surrounded by stars, has a gentle baby face, a pair of upturned squinting eyes, and a gentle smile on his fair face.
But behind this smile is an unfathomable coldness and indifference.
The man walked forward calmly, his steps soft and slow.
As he walked, he chatted and laughed with the guests around him, and everyone in the venue was very respectful to him.
The man's eyes never left their gaze. The closer they got, the more they could feel the strange coldness in him.
Everyone in the venue didn't know where he was going, so they had to make way for him.
The footsteps stopped abruptly behind him, and the color in Cheng Yi's eyes suddenly darkened.
Cheng Yi didn't expect that he would appear at this time.
Rex's gaze fell on Cheng Yi's back. The two men were standing quietly in the center of the circle surrounded by the crowd.
The silence between the two men made everyone in the audience breathe tensely again.
Pope Andrew and Father Wei Lun, who were standing opposite Cheng Yi, also had obvious uneasiness in their eyes.
They felt that the aura between these two people... seemed a little off.
Rex smiled, his eyes narrowed deeper, facing Cheng Yi's back, he opened his arms elegantly and spoke softly.
"Dear Eden, long time no see."
A cheerful greeting instantly spread throughout the hall, echoing in the empty and silent hall, and the echo lingered for a long time.
Eden?
Everyone was shocked and looked at each other in confusion. Who is Eden? Isn't that Ciro?
And why are there such intimate greetings between these two people?
No one in the underworld has ever heard of any relationship between Tavia and the L family, let alone between their heads.
These people had no way of knowing the relationship and grudge between Cheng Yi and Rex.
To the outside world, the L family has always had only one young master, Rex.
As for Cheng Yi, the bastard born after the former head of the family defected, he was nothing more than a shameful stain and had never been acknowledged by the L family.
Not to mention external recognition.
Naturally, no one in the outside world knows about Cheng Yi's bloodline, his relationship with the L family, or the inhuman treatment he suffered in the past.
All they knew was that Tavia had a lone wolf in charge.
As for the L family, Rex is the only one who is the next in line to be the head of the family.
Cheng Yi lowered his eyes coldly, slammed the wine glass in his hand onto the table, and ignored Rex's greetings.
"Master Cheng, the master is talking to you, why don't you answer?"
Solo, the second in command of the L family, who was following behind Rex, asked coldly towards Cheng Yi's back.
When the people in Tavia, who were not far away, heard these words, their faces instantly turned dark, and they looked as if they were ready to kill someone.
No matter how powerful the L family is in the UK, no matter who your head is, it is not their turn to act wildly in front of Cheng Yi.
"Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you talk to our boss like that?"
Ling Shuo quickly loaded the gun at his waist, held it in his hand, and walked towards Solo.
Solo naturally did not want to be outdone, so he also took out his pistol and raised it towards Ling Shuo's forehead.
"I thought it was someone else, it turned out to be the Tavia Twins, worthy of being your good dogs."
Hearing this, Qi Huang's face twitched, and with a gloomy look on his face, he walked to Ling Shuo.
"We are dogs, so what are you?"
When Solo heard Qi Huang's provocative words again, his face immediately darkened and he clenched his fists tightly.
The people sitting behind the two gang leaders, including the Baiqinghui, Chixiao and others who were still present, all looked ugly.
Especially Tavia and his group, they seemed to have wanted to take action against Rex and his gang for a long time, and at this moment, this desire had reached its peak.
At this moment, all the guests in the hall were silent, and you could hear a pin drop in the empty hall.
The war between the two sides seemed to be on the verge of breaking out. The smell of gunpowder in the air drove away all the oxygen, making it difficult to breathe.
Everyone in the conference hall was completely confused.
Why...are they going to fight?
