The badge of the senior palace advisor was indeed very useful. Chen Rui went all the way without hindrance and entered the palace directly. Hei Yao got the news of his arrival and immediately put aside his business to meet him.
"Your Highness." Chen Rui bowed, with a happy expression on his face: "The initial capital investment went very smoothly, and the most difficult period for the family has finally passed. Thanks to His Highness's trust and timely financial support, originally every two The rebate of 100 million will now be made into one installment, and all will be returned to His Highness. Here is 1.2 billion, please send someone to count it."
As he spoke, Chen Rui waved his hand, and a large push of space rings appeared on the ground, each of which was filled with bags of bulging black crystal coins.
Hei Yao didn't look at the pile of space rings. Even if this human being can keep his word and come to the Demon Realm again, he will definitely not play such a short trick. He nodded in satisfaction: "Your Excellency Charles is indeed a trustworthy person. Is there a plan for the investment? How much will it cost?"
"I don't need it yet..."
The attitude of "Charles" made Black Yao a little surprised, why don't you want the money
Hei Yao was suspicious by nature, if Chen Rui immediately asked for more money, he would inevitably have some doubts in his heart, but now he didn't want it, it was equivalent to giving away 200 million for nothing, which made him frown instead.
After a long while, Hei Yao said, "If you have something to say, you may wish to speak directly. Have you found a new partner?"
Chen Rui secretly smiled in his heart, knowing that his little trick was successful, he shook his head and said: "Your Highness, don't get me wrong, I promised that the Fallen Angel Empire will be my only partner. In fact, this is the case. Currently, investment projects have been activated one by one. The business is gradually picking up. The crisis is over, but blindly defending may not work, and we need to accumulate strength to prepare for a counterattack. The next step of investment is still in the specific planning.”
Hei Yao looked pale and nodded slightly.
"I have a team of about 50 people, all of whom are senior calculators who are responsible for the budgeting of income and expenditure. Every detail cannot be missed. Because sometimes, a small wound can be fatal."
"Fifty people are in charge of the budget?" Obsidian was slightly surprised: "As expected of the number one business family."
"The budget is only one aspect. On the other hand, that big event has reached a critical moment. I believe it will not take long to get the final result. This is the real key. Once it succeeds, then I have a 80% chance of winning That's it. At that time, it will be of inestimable benefit not only to my great cause, but also to Your Highness."
Obsidian moved, "You mean..."
"In any case, my promise remains the same. His Royal Highness will be Charles Roland's only partner. At that time, His Highness will be able to control the monopoly resources of the Demon Realm in his hands. Whether it is the control of the country, or the The diplomacy of other countries will play an inestimable role.”
Chen Rui's words made Hei Yao's face finally show joy: "Then, I am looking forward to this day."
"It will be as His Highness wishes." Chen Rui bowed.
"It will also be as your Highness wishes." Hei Yao was in a good mood, no matter what, he sent 200 million here for nothing, and the title also changed.
"By the way, Your Excellency Charles has come from afar. You have worked hard. I will hold a banquet to welcome you in the evening, and there will be a dance later. Your Excellency has come to the Demon Realm, and you don't have a formal residence yet? I'll send you off later. I will give you a luxurious mansion in the imperial capital, as well as dozens of beauties, compared to human women, I believe they will have another wonderful taste."
tens of? Chen Rui was secretly ashamed, even if the talent of the Dragon Race was not enough.
"I am deeply grateful for His Highness's kindness, but it is not necessary, I will continue to live with Isabella. It is undeniable that she is a real beauty, isn't she?"
"Isabella?" A playful look flashed in Hei Yao's eyes, "I've heard about some scandals between you and this lady, but I didn't expect you to be really interested in her, but don't forget, this lady has The nickname of the imperial capital Datura. In the devil world, Datura is a kind of poisonous flower. Although it is beautiful, it contains crazy toxicity that makes people unable to extricate themselves. If your target is Isabella, I can only wish you good luck gone."
"The more difficult it is, the more flavorful it is, isn't it? Your Highness?" Chen Rui showed a smile that any man could understand.
Hei Yao also smiled: "The fiercer the horse, the more powerful it is. Your Excellency Charles is indeed a nobleman with taste. I personally support you unconditionally. I wish you can really pick this famous flower of the imperial capital as soon as possible."
Chen Rui thought to himself, it seems that Isabella's identity and value are different, and Hei Yao did not directly say "send", but encouraged him to "chase". Perhaps, the value he has expressed so far is not enough.
"As long as His Highness doesn't reward me with a house for the time being, it will be the greatest support," Chen Rui said with a smile: "Actually, she and I are just ordinary friends now, but a lot of troubles have started to follow me."
"Since it is a mandala flower, your Excellency should be mentally prepared." Hei Yao said with a smile: "But you can rest assured that nothing will affect our cooperation plan. The banquet tonight..."
"Please forgive me, can the welcome dinner of Your Highness be saved until the next time?" Chen Rui didn't want to attend any banquets or dances, "This time my time is too tight. , to see my younger brother who is practicing in the Demon Realm, my father has something important to bring to him. Then I will go directly back to the ground and start the most critical part of the plan."
Black Yao nodded: "Of course, I hope you can get the approval of that great master as soon as possible."
Chen Rui left the palace, returned to Isabella's residence, and proposed his plan to go to Chiyou's territory. Isabella nodded and proposed to send him in a specially prepared carriage. She asked for a good horse, and after a hasty lunch, she rode straight out of town, down the road.
At this stage of the plan, Samuel must make some arrangements. He cannot stay to top the tank at that time, and it is said that Samuel reached a critical stage of breakthrough last time. Go straight back to Dark Moon.
Chen Rui galloped all the way on the horse, and soon left the royal city of the imperial capital, and pedestrians gradually became rare. About two hours later, when I reached a loop road leaning against the continuous mountains, a dangerous omen suddenly appeared in my heart.
Before he could rein in his horse, a group of meteorites mixed with flames suddenly fell from the sky, smashing Chen Rui and his horse right on the ground in an instant, and the ground was constantly ravaged by the powerful fire magic "Meteor Fire Rain", and continuous occurrences violent shock.
The venting meteorite finally stopped gradually, and there were large exaggerated pits and cracks on the nearby road surface. Neither Chen Rui nor the bones of the horse could be seen, only vague bloodstains and broken flesh.
"Eh?" Suddenly someone was surprised, followed by several figures chasing forward, and in a blink of an eye they had already disappeared into the mountains.
At the critical moment just now, Chen Rui dodged in time and stayed away from the range of the magic. It was the poor horse that died under the meteor rain.
Chen Rui realized that he was surrounded, and there was a powerful magician, so he quickly fled to the deep mountains, trying to use the terrain to avoid long-range magic, those who killed him naturally followed closely.
Passers-by in the distance only saw flaming meteors falling, the ground trembled, and then a figure seemed to fly by like lightning, and soon disappeared.
Chen Rui ran all the way and fled into a forest. Due to the unfamiliar environment, his speed inevitably slowed down. A figure suddenly passed by in front of him. to a great oppressive force. Chen Rui had no choice but to make a turning point. The missing black awn hit a giant tree surrounded by five people. The big tree seemed to be exploded from the inside by some powerful explosives, and a terrifying big hole was shattered in the center, and sawdust flew flying Suddenly, there was a toothache sound, and he fell down.
Chen Rui just dodged the black light, and another blue light flashed in front of him. This blue light seemed to have no power, but Chen Rui's expression was more dignified than when he faced the black light before. Wherever it passed, the tree on the opposite side broke into five pieces, and the fracture was extremely smooth, as if it was caused by extremely sharp energy.
A huge sea of flames behind him continued to burn like a wall, containing the power of the manic fire element, making it impossible for Chen Rui to retreat.
"Aren't you running away?" A cold voice rang out. It was a strong man holding a short black stick in his hand. The long stick was a round ball with numerous sharp spikes, and there was a long stick at the end. The iron chain, it was this terrifying mace that smashed the giant tree into powder just now.
The strong man belongs to the furious royal family, and his overall strength has reached B+, which is the peak of the Great Demon King.
Physique B+, strength B+, spirit C, agility B-.
The Fury Royal Family is a royal family with the surname of Samael. The Fury Empire was destroyed by the Blood Fiend Empire. Chen Rui once fought against Rawat, the deputy head of the Two-headed Dragon Legion in the Blue Melting Territory, and the devil-level Rawat in Dark Moon. The Royal Family's "Blood Rage" talent is quite impressive. Judging from the data, the man in front of him is obviously a powerful opponent.
Out of sharpness is a woman wearing strange long sleeves, her facial features are quite attractive, but there is a crossed knife mark on her face, which destroys the original appearance, and the corners of the slightly raised eyes are full of cold and murderous intent. Even without the identification of the Eye of Analysis, Chen Rui could tell that the long-sleeved robe was a special piece of equipment, and he didn't know whether it was the long sleeve that chopped off the tree just now, or the sharp weapon hidden in the sleeve.
Race: Arrogant Royal Family (mutation). Comprehensive strength B.
Physique B-, strength B, spirit B, agility B+.
The magician who cast Meteor Fire Rain before was suspended in the air about three meters away, holding a long wooden staff in his hand, and his face looked older.
Race: Great Demon (mutation). Comprehensive strength B+.
Constitution C, Strength C-, Spirit B+, Speed C+.
Two peak big devils, one middle-level big devil, and strength, speed, and long-range magic type, this combination of combat power is quite terrifying, far more dangerous than the last time they faced sulfur and two vampires.
"There is one more, come out, it's this time, do you want to be a turtle with its head shrunk?" Chen Rui's eyes fell behind the big tree on the other side.
"Hmph! After you turn into a corpse, I don't know if your mouth will still be so hard." Some familiar voices sounded, and the figure gradually became clear. A tall, thin, handsome man, wearing a set of expensive The armor, holding a beautifully decorated long sword in his hand, is exactly what Chen Rui taught in front of Isabella, the heir of the Lincoln family, the elder family of the imperial capital, Luodan.
"It's you!" Chen Rui raised his brows, "I am a senior adviser to the palace, you dare to kill me, if His Royal Highness the Regent knows..."
"Although the emperor is headed by the regent, the regent does not have the final say on everything. Many things cannot be separated from the determination and strength of our elder family. Don't say that you are not a nobleman, but you are just a consultant. It’s a real nobleman, so I’ll do the same! Ever since you humiliated me in front of Isabella last time, you’ve been doomed to be torn apart!” When Luodan mentioned this matter, he gritted his teeth, handsome His facial features were a little distorted.
The last time it was obviously Luo Dan himself who provoked and attacked first, and finally took his own humiliation, unexpectedly, he also recorded deep revenge. Chen Rui knew that this kind of second-generation ancestor theory was meaningless, so he smiled lightly: "Since you want to kill me, you must first have the awareness of death."
"Stop bluffing!" Luo Dan sneered, "I have the most reliable information. Your strength is at most the peak Demon King, and you have not reached the level of the Demon King. You will definitely die today!"
What Chen Rui noticed was another thing. From the time he came to the imperial capital to the time he left, he just stayed at Isabella's house for a while, met Hei Yao in the palace, and then returned to Isabella's house for dinner. After leaving, within such a short period of time, Lordan detected his movements and arranged an ambush. It seems that what Isabella said that Rommel would deal with him was not a lie.
It's just that Rommel is also extremely cunning. He actually launched Lordan, who had a feud with him, to attack him, and hid himself behind him. It was really sinister, or could he be given the nickname "Fox of the Imperial Capital" to suit the occasion
Judging from the information that Isabella disclosed intentionally or unintentionally, Rommel is one of the representatives of the elder family. Approval from the upper class nobles.
In fact, Black Yao is more afraid of Rommel, but out of scruples about the huge power of the old family in the imperial capital, he has to entrust him with the important task of taking charge of the military affairs of the empire. It is likely that Rommel was not very clear about the origin of "Charles" and the plan.
In any case, there is much room for fuss about the relationship between Obsidian and the elder family.
For example, the people in front of me...
Luodan's arrogant voice brought Chen Rui back to reality from his rapid thinking: "Now you don't even have a chance to escape or beg for mercy. These strong men all came with the order to kill, but... I I can give you time to confess your last words."
"I'm sorry, from the very beginning, I never thought of running away, including coming here," Chen Rui smiled slightly, "Because, in this remote place, I can use my power without any scruples. Actually, I want to apologize This is the sentence, you are all going to die."
