Maryse closed her eyes helplessly, knowing that the savior had manipulated her into saying them.
Unknowingly, she felt more and more deeply about these words, as if she really thought so deep down in her heart, but she never had the chance to say them out.
But is that really the case
... ...
yes.
In fact, this is my deepest thought.
But he was dug out by the Savior of Babel and placed before his eyes, becoming inescapable.
Maryse slowly opened her eyes.
I long for flames to purify everything in the past and allow myself to be truly reborn.
Savior!
Please respond to my appeals and desires.
She looked at the guards standing in front of the villa, silently stepped forward, and at the same time activated her spiritual power.
The guards standing in front of the villa were attentive, and everyone was very strict.
Suddenly, the look in their eyes gradually faded, and one by one they left their posts and went elsewhere to look for fire and oil, and then to a deserted place.
Arson.
It started out as a little spark, but quickly grew more and more.
Maryse had already walked to the door of the villa, turned around and looked at the family she had always lived with, her expression extremely calm.
Not long after.
The flames burned completely, and they resisted despite the torrential rain that tried to extinguish it!
Even if it never lasts forever, it can still be grand and dazzling for a while!
Light up the darkness.
She stared at this scene silently, and the shackles that had bound her soul for so long finally burned away.
Chapter 76 The savior is unfathomable!
Ballroom.
The head of the Augustus family, Maryse's father, "Conspirator" Renault was standing in the corner of the banquet, talking with his two old friends Cosu and Byrne.
Kesu is a tall and thin man with a black beard and gold-rimmed glasses who looks like a scholar.
Bourne is round and chubby, with a harmless smile on his face. The clothes on his body are shining with gold, and he looks very gorgeous and luxurious. All ten fingers are covered with precious jewelry.
Cosu and Byrne are important figures in the two major families in Chenhai City. Just like the Augustus family, these two families are also extremely powerful and monopolize the foreign trade import and export industry and agricultural products industry in Chenhai City respectively. .
Just like the head of the Augustus family monopolized medical and pharmaceuticals, the five major families in the Platinum District actually control the economic lifeline of the city. Not only do they monopolize at least one industry, they also try to get involved in petrochemicals, military industry, communications, media, finance, banking, All aspects of the tobacco and other industries.
Although the five major families are not the nominal kings of Chenhai City, they are indeed the actual economic helmsmen. The nominal "king" of Chenhai City is more concerned about the affairs of the Air Alliance Conference and stays in the "Supreme City" all year round to win over More support from the king means the position of "acting leader".
For many years, the "King" rarely returned to this city that belonged to him.
Among the five major families, the families represented by Burne and Cosu had a very good relationship with the Augustus family, and the other two major families with bad relations did not even send anyone to attend the banquet.
Renault was silent for a moment, his eyes as deep as ever.
He said: "What do you think about the 'Tower of Babel'?"
The tall and thin Kesu shook his head and said: "They are just a bunch of clowns, not worth mentioning. The Anti-Demon Bureau actually called out the imperial guards of the Eye of the Empire with great fanfare. Haha, I think it is a bit too much. "
He adjusted his glasses and said with a smile: "However, I hope that the king's guards can help us at least get rid of the 'Shepherd'."
The chubby Bourne also smiled and said: "The person here is the 'Emperor'. I heard that he has always had great opinions on the aristocratic system. I don't understand. If he really has so many opinions, why does he still stay in the Eye of the Empire?" King service?”
"The Tower of Babel is no clown."
Renault seemed to have no intention of talking about the "Emperor", but turned the topic back to the Tower of Babel with a solemn expression.
"They will eventually try to control every corner of the city and deserve our vigilance."
The two great nobles, Kesu and Bourne, were stunned.
Bourne's fat face wrinkled slightly, shook his head and said: "Well, you think too highly of them. From the current point of view, these people are actually just fighting against the cultists and do not affect us at all."
Kesu also nodded and wanted to speak, when a gentle voice sounded.
"Father, I have something to tell you."
The eldest son of the Augustus family, the elegant Phoenix, walked over. He had a gentle smile that was completely different from his father. People would feel close to him when they saw him.
"Feel sorry."
Renault nodded and walked aside with Phoenix alone.
"how?"
Phoenix hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Father, I recently found some very strange accounts... Is Baiye Pharmaceutical related to you?"
"Bai Ye Pharmaceutical?"
Renault frowned slightly and nodded: "Indeed, this is a company I founded a few years ago. It is responsible for researching drugs for neurological related diseases. I have always let Abner be in charge of management."
Abner is the uncle of Phoenix and Maryse, and the younger brother of Reno.
A well-known pianist, but he has always been a figure on the edge of power in his family.
Phoenix's breathing was a little heavy, he looked at the guests coming and going, and whispered:
"However, I heard from people from the Anti-Demon Bureau that after the recent riot at White Night Pharmaceuticals in the mysterious organization Babel, they found many things related to the Black Star Society in White Night Pharmaceuticals."
"The connection between Baiye Pharmaceutical and our family has attracted the attention of the Night Watchmen."
"Black Star Society... Black Star Society..."
Renault recited the word silently, mumbling to himself as if he had heard it for the first time in his life.
"You don't have to worry about this, Phoenix, you just need to know... Everything I do is for our great family."
Father, what does this mean? Phoenix became increasingly aware that something was wrong and felt very uneasy.
"But... ... "
Phoenix wanted to say something more, but he soon saw a cold and ruthless look. He was stunned for a moment, feeling cowardly and afraid to say any more.
"I understand, Father."
He nodded and sighed secretly, and suddenly heard someone shouting.
"on fire!"
"Why is there a fire outside? Oh my God!"
"Look quickly!"
Everyone's attention was attracted, and people quickly looked out the window, and were shocked to find... blazing flames burning near the villas of the Augustus family!
It actually caught fire suddenly. Phoenix frowned and immediately said: "How could it suddenly catch fire on such a rainy day? Someone must have set the fire deliberately."
"Father, what should I do?"
The guests were a little flustered, and Cosu and Byrne looked at Renault with smiles, not showing any uneasiness at all.
Renault was lost in thought, nodded and stepped forward, saying loudly and calmly: "Please be quiet, everyone. It's just a sudden fire. Everything is still under our control, but today's banquet ends here. Please evacuate in an orderly manner!"
His voice was like thunder, reaching everyone's ears, and its inexplicable calming effect made everyone quiet.
In the corner, a man wearing a crow bronze mask and a white suit looked over calmly.
Phoenix also subconsciously looked at the "Crow Death", always feeling like he was being maliciously scrutinized. This "monster" from the Demon Enforcement Bureau would regard anyone as prey.
Monster, he reluctantly nodded and smiled at the "Crow Death", but the latter did not respond.
"Crow Death" just stared at everyone present. No one could see what the person behind the bronze mask was thinking, but everyone did not dare to approach him.
The very existence of this man symbolizes "fear"!
Phoenix suddenly thought of something, and he immediately left his father Renault's side and said anxiously: "I have to check on little Eva."
Renault glanced at him but did not stop him.
When Phoenix left the banquet hall, he didn't notice an invisible girl following his footsteps.
Soon, he came to his daughter's room, where two middle-aged maids were taking care of her, with anxious expressions on their faces.
"Master, you are finally here. There is a fire outside. We don't know whether to run away with the little lady."
His daughter, Little Eva, was lying on the stroller, soundly asleep, with a naive look on her face, obviously not knowing anything.
Phoenix breathed a sigh of relief and sat next to the stroller. The sudden fire in the family must have been attacked by the enemy. Fortunately, nothing happened to little Eva yet.
The heavy rain has not stopped, but the fire outside shows no sign of stopping. Phoenix remained silent, seeming to be thinking about a decision.
At this moment, the two maids' actions became a little strange.
They stood up stiffly and left the room without saying a word.
"Um?"
Phoenix was slightly startled, and he raised his head suddenly.
Suddenly... I saw the figure of a beautiful girl gradually appearing against the wall not far away.
So familiar, yet a little strange...
"It's you, Maryse!"
Phoenix recognized his sister, and his expression suddenly changed, as if he had figured out many things in an instant!
[It turns out you did it...]
He immediately said: "I know my father's recent decision on you, and I am actually helpless. But no one in the family can resist the family leader's decision, but I can completely understand your resistance."
"But, no matter what, don't take revenge on people who have nothing to do with it? Your niece is absolutely innocent."
Maryse stared at her brother in silence, without saying a word.
The sound of wind and rain entered his ears, and Phoenix's throat squirmed, fully aware of how terrifying his sister was.
[That terrifying talent is like a monster.]
[I am not an opponent.]
[In this case, I can only obey her for the time being.]
Phoenix slowly raised his hands and promised calmly: "I can be controlled by you, but you must also promise not to retaliate against my daughter, and you can do whatever you want me to do... Maryse, you can hear my heart. Well, you know I didn’t lie to you.”
[You also know what I think, and I can guess your purpose.]
[I can’t activate the alarm spell, how about it?]
Maryse remained expressionless and said nothing.
This kind of father-daughter love touched her heart... and she was a little jealous.
Phoenix became nervous and even thought that the negotiation had broken down, but at this moment his eyes gradually became blank.
There is a chance to activate the alarm spell in these few seconds.
But Phoenix gave up and allowed his sister to control his mind.
Maryse controlled Phoenix to leave the room, but the little baby was still on the bed, unaware of anything, sleeping peacefully.
Mu Zhen was waiting for Maryse to appear in the nearby shadows.
However, at this moment, Mu Zhen was unable to act on his own, and just watched silently as the "Soul Dancer" came over with an unknown elf.
Mu Zhen thought in her mind, so that's the case, should she and I complete this mission together
Although it was said to be a private transaction, the Savior still made a "judgment". Sure enough, there was something wrong with the Augustus family.
Afterwards, the three of them went to the study together.
On the way, Maryse couldn't calm down for a long time!
Originally, she was still worried about how to solve the problem of the alarm spell. She was even worried that the "Savior" would directly control her and the "Night Blade" to kill indiscriminately.
Even though she hated her family, Maryse still didn't want to kill her brothers and sisters with her own hands.
