Jane Qiao, who was in fear, couldn't see anything.
The banquet hall was brightly lit, but it was pitch black in front of him. The ferocious people surrounding him were shielded by his subconscious, which was the most effective way to escape reality.
In a trance, his body kept falling, the rapids surging around him, and the icy water filled his nose and mouth, trying to take his breath away. He actually returned to the original and most terrifying memory once again, experiencing the pain of being on the verge of death but unable to struggle.
Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice.
The voice firmly and forcefully ordered: "Let him go!"
The whirlpools and rapids that wrapped Jane Qiao and dragged him into the endless abyss all disappeared in an instant. He felt his body suddenly lighten, so he immediately floated up following the sound, like a fish living in a cold winter under the ice, desperate for a light and a trace of oxygen.
Finally, his eyes lit up, and then all the light entered his pupils, followed by Lei Zhe's handsome face. The man was looking at him with a furrowed brow, his expression impatient.
"Are you okay?" he asked in a low voice.
"I, I'm fine." Jian Qiao lay limply on the sofa, with a bit of spirits on her lips, cold sweat on her forehead and nose, and she looked as if she had just been fished out of the water.
"Get up and sit down if you have nothing to do." Lei Zhe didn't stretch out his hand to pull him, but walked to the sofa opposite, took a seat, stared at Jian Qiao, and patted the vacant seat beside him.
Jian Qiao understood, quickly propped up her weak body, staggered to Lei Zhe's side, and sat down slowly. He had already lost his strength, but he didn't dare to lean on the soft pillow, because that would make him look even more embarrassed. He can only try to straighten his back as much as possible and face everything that follows with the most calm attitude.
He could have escaped and locked all the things that happened today with the terrible memories of the past. But Razer came, so he decided to stay. He must end the banquet with dignity.
Everyone was silent.
The drinkers stood stiffly with their glasses; the smokers stopped puffing; the musicians hung their fingertips on the strings.
Everyone could feel the fury of Lei Zhe hidden under the calm exterior. His azure blue eyes darkened with a surge of anger.
When Jane Qiao sat down beside him, he snapped his fingers at the waiter.
A glass of strong wine was immediately delivered to him, he raised his head and drank it, his sinister eyes were always locked on Prince Andrew.
Prince Andrew couldn't stand this kind of oppressive gaze, and his mind was more than half awake, so he explained with a smirk: "If you're not here, let's play with Jane Joe. It's okay to ask him to drink up a bottle of wine, we don't would be excessive."
Lei Zhe didn't answer a word, just raised the empty wine glass in Yang's hand.
The waiter immediately filled him with amber liquor.
He took a slow sip, then looked at Jian Qiao, who was dripping with cold sweat, and asked, "Would you like to play with them?"
Before Jian Qiao could answer, Prince Andre's favorite, the heavily-makeup young man who grabbed Jian Qiao's hair before, hummed and said, "It's his honor to play with us, how could he not be willing?"
Yes, in everyone's eyes, it is a blessing to have a relationship with Prince Andre, because it will bring them incalculable benefits. Even knowing that getting too close to the prince will pay some dire costs, there are many more people who are desperate.
Which of the little lords who came to Grande from remote areas did not send them to serve Prince Andrew? Even if in the end someone can't stand the humiliation and commit suicide, it is they who are paying the price for their choice.
When the human heart is consumed by greed, there is nothing that cannot be sacrificed, including personality and dignity.
Lei Zhe understands people's hearts, so he is not at all sure about Jian Qiao's answer. If the person says "I do" in public, he doesn't care. From now on, whether the other party sinks or is destroyed has nothing to do with him.
However, after thinking about it, Lei Zhe couldn't help clenching his fists. He swears secretly: If Jane Qiao really said "I do", he will definitely smash this man's head!
"I don't want to." Jian Qiao's weak but firm voice came from the side.
"I wouldn't be willing to play this dirty game with you." After a pause, he accentuated the pronunciation of every word.
Lei Zhe's clenched fist suddenly loosened. He raised his glass to Prince Andrew with a happy expression like a big lion stretching his mane.
He knew that the proud Count would not bow his head to anyone.
He was very satisfied with this answer.
Prince Andrew was stunned. He didn't expect Jian Qiao to be so disrespectful to himself. Even if he doesn't want to, Jane Qiao should say yes, so as to ease Lei Zhe's anger and make the atmosphere liven up again. Does he not understand basic social etiquette at all
Prince Andrew's male pet seems to be held too high, he couldn't accept this answer, and even asked, "Why don't you want to? Are you shameless?"
Jian Qiao was about to fight back, but Lei Zhe hooked his finger: "Come here."
The man with heavy makeup walked over immediately.
Lei Zhe pressed down with his backhand: "You squat lower."
The man bowed his knees obediently and lowered his body. In front of Jane Qiao, he was as arrogant as a swan, but in front of a noble like Lei Zhe, he was more obedient than a marionette.
He tilted his head and gave Leizhe a pleasing smile. Like all the trend-loving young men these days, he painted his face white with fragrant powder, but painted two extremely bright blushes, which made him look like a clown.
Lei Zhe raised his hand and poured a full glass of spirits on his face.
The man's flamboyant makeup immediately turned into a pool of red, white, and black smudges. He covered his face and screamed in horror.
Lei Zhe said indifferently: "I'm also playing games with you, do you think it's fun? Do you want to continue?"
It is useless to reason with these people, they simply do not understand. It is only when they suffer the same pain that they realize how excessive their actions are.
Seeing this scene, the fear that remained in Jian Qiao's heart disappeared completely. Sitting next to Lei Zhe, who exudes a dangerous aura all over his body, he instead gained a full sense of security, and his cold and stiff body gradually warmed up.
Instead of looking at the screaming young man, he focused all his attention on Lei Zhe.
This man will shine in his eyes.
Lei Zhe immediately felt Mr. Earl's scorching gaze. He turned his head and glanced at the other person, with a tut in his mouth, as if he was disdainful of this person's weakness, but the corners of his mouth rose even more.
That young man was naturally able to accompany Prince Andrei for a long time. After collapsing for a moment, he wiped his face and said with a smile, "It's my honor to play with you, how could I not be willing?"
He understands better than anyone that only by completely abandoning personality and dignity can he earn enough benefits. In this materialistic world, anything can be sold, including himself. His title was exchanged for his body, and it was worth it.
His shameless eyes opened the eyes of those around him.
Prince Andrew was the first to laugh, followed by all the guests. So the atmosphere in the field became warm again. The alcoholics continued to drink, the drug addicts continued to smoke, and the lustful men continued to spin on the dance floor with their arms around good-looking men and women.
Noisy and joyful once again descended on this splendid hall. This is an aesthetically distorted world, and ugly people are actually cute in the eyes of these nobles. They applauded the young man and applauded enthusiastically.
Jian Qiao pursed her lips, trying to suppress her desire to vomit.
Lei Zhe was used to these disgusting people and things. Without any surprise, he picked up a bottle of spirits and poured it over the young man's head.
"Okay, I'll play with you to the end today." He looked at the waiter and ordered coldly, "Bring all the wine in the wine cellar over. If it's not enough, there are still many treasures in my house."
The young man was stunned. He thought that if he was shameless, Lei Zhe would give up, but he didn't expect that the other party would have a fight with him.
Bottles of cold wine are poured down, not to mention that the body can't bear it, the loss of image alone is not something a man can bear. Since then, as long as others mention him, they will think of his ugly appearance covered in alcohol.
Dignity, personality, and reputation are all optional, but a good image is the cost of his meals. When he was just a clown in the eyes of others, Prince Andre's favor for him would definitely disappear. This Vanity Fair, full of comparisons, calculations and battles, will eventually turn into a swamp and swallow him up.
He will be habitually trampled and insulted by everyone, like the dwarf who is pulled out to show every party for fun. He will slowly lose everything he has now.
Thinking of this, the young man immediately looked at Prince Andrew, his eyes emitting a light of distress.
Prince Andrew didn't receive any worries from the pet waiter at all, instead he clapped his hands and laughed: "This idea is so fun! Hahaha, go and move the wine!"
The attendant immediately went to the cellar.
The people around were also very playful and eager to try. Obviously, they have found new pleasures, and they don't think about the willingness of young men at all.
What happened to Jane Joe was repeated to the man.
The young man began to shiver. He could already imagine what would happen to him next. Everyone here would pick up a bottle of wine, laugh, pour it on his head, and dance around him. He was soaked in wine like a poor maggot and like a lamb to be slaughtered.
When playing crazy, these people might really regard him as the lamb of God and burn him on the fire. Something like this has happened before.
This group of people who drank too much alcohol and smoked too much opium was like a pile of hay, and only a small spark could burn their sanity completely. After being confused, they turn into demons, inflicting all tortures on the objects of pleasure.
Young men know best how much humiliation there is and how much risk it will take to play games with them.
Now, he finally understood Lei Zhe's question, and cried out: "Sir, I don't want to, I won't play with you! This game is really not fun at all, please let me go! "
"The wine has moved here, how can you not play?" Before Lei Zhe could speak, Prince Andrew said sullenly.
He likes all the tricks of the game.
The waiter just happened to bring a box of red wine, and the deep red wine would stain the young man's body like blood. Maybe at the end of the game, they'll actually let the young man lie down in a pool of blood.
"I don't play anymore! I'm sorry, I shouldn't tease Jane Joe, I apologize, I'm damn! I admit that I was jealous of his youth, nobility and appearance, I was wrong!" The young man finally expressed his filth in his heart.
Of course he knew that the previous game was not fun at all, and he also knew how terrified and helpless Jian Qiao was. He just purposely dragged this man into the filthy quagmire.
Seeing the pale and clean face of the other party, he wanted to destroy him!
Jian Qiao lightly touched the end of her tear-stained eye with her fingertips, her expression very indifferent. Hearing these words, he didn't feel the slightest emotional wave, because he always knew that the human heart is more terrible than hell.
"Go away!" Lei Zhe kicked over.
The young man flew upside down for five or six meters. After landing, he quickly got up and limped away. The coffee table, sofa, and waiter were knocked over several times by him.
No one stopped him from fleeing, and no one blamed Lei Zhe for his disappointment.
In Grande, Lei Zhe, who has power and an army, obviously has more say than Prince Andre. These madmen were only silent in front of him.
Prince Andrew's face twisted for a moment, as if he wanted to get angry, but he just pouted and asked in a humiliating manner, "When did you become so kind?"
"I'm not merciful, I just don't want your crazy behavior to hurt Jane Joe's eyes. He's from De Solette, there's no such game there."
Rachel was telling the truth. If Jane Qiao wasn't there, he must have ripped off the skin of the man just now!
Jian Qiao, who was lightly touching the end of her eyes, glanced at Lei Zhe quickly, and there was a glimmer of light in her pupils.
