"I never thought about becoming a big shot." Vanessa ate the last piece of dessert and licked the spoon before she was willing to speak: "I never thought about things like dreams and hopes. I knew that in elementary school. I was considered that kind of pretty girl, so I just thought that I could live a peaceful life, marry a rich man in the future, and live a relaxed life.
It wasn't until I was eleven years old that my powers awakened and I began to realize that I was different. ”.
The consultant who was dining with her at the same table had not yet cleared all the fruit cobblers on the plate, but he still responded to Vanessa with his eyes and hums, indicating that he wanted to listen.
"When I was a child, I often asked myself, my parents...maybe they hate me..." Vanessa continued: "My father looked at me with very cold eyes, sometimes with a look of fear. Although he pretended to be like other normal parents on the surface, It's the same, but I can detect it. And my mother is even weirder. She is like a woman on the verge of mental breakdown in a horror movie. As I grow older, she becomes more and more distant from me.
Things that were not noticed when I was very young, all became apparent after I entered middle school. My parents are nothing like me. None of them or their parents have the same hair color or pupils as me, and even if I were to look for a relative with facial features similar to mine, I wouldn't be able to find one. Even my grandmother said something like, 'Such a beautiful granddaughter is actually born to my daughter.'
The older I get, the more out of place I seem to be with my family, not just in appearance. The personality is also very different. The way my mother looks at me, it seems that she is not looking at her own daughter, but at another woman.
At the age of fourteen. Finally, someone told me that I was an adopted child, huh... Actually, that couldn't be called adoption at all. The couple who brought me up to the age of fourteen raised me under threats. They were always under the surveillance of the organization and even hid it from everyone around them, claiming that I was their biological child. children. In fact, their biological children were exchanged with me. Being raised by the organization as a bargaining chip to blackmail them. "
Her tone was sympathetic to her adoptive parents, but the consultant imitated her licking the spoon and said without hesitation: "Yes. You have proved very well that a phoenix cannot fly from a henhouse."
Vanessa rolled her eyes at him: "Later, I returned to my biological father and restored my birth name, Balmond Velasquez. It's not that I hate this surname. I'm just used to people calling me Wei. Nissa. Not long after, I learned that my biological mother had died when I was born, and that my real father was Cesare Balmond, the Grand Master of the Iron Commandment, and that I was an illegitimate daughter.
Therefore, your previous speculation is wrong. The reason why my information cannot be found is not because I grew up in the organization. Even children raised by the organization will always have traces in the apostle's database. You can't find my information. It's because I used another identity before I was fourteen. "
The consultant continued: "Let you join the organization before the age of ID registration in the empire. At that time, your identity record will only be recorded in the local government's database. All you need to do is destroy that part of the record. Haha... It's really very difficult. Not a bad idea, I know a guy who did this before, and he did it on his own when he was a minor." The "guy" the consultant was referring to was naturally DeWitt Lyle, who had impersonated him.
"There's not much to say about what happened after that. Of course my father didn't let me go into battle. He left me in Red Lion County, where the situation was stable, where the Apostle System switchboard is located. My position was also a leisurely and vacant position, but People around me, as well as higher-level members of the organization, all know my true identity, which is basically an open secret." After Vanessa finished speaking, she raised her eyes and glared at the consultant: "Are you satisfied?"
The consultant shrugged, his attitude ambiguous and non-committal: "I can't say I'm disappointed."
Vanessa immediately said: "Then let's have another round."
"You've lost dozens of games in a row. If you keep winning, I can't think of any questions to ask." The consultant replied.
"I don't mind. You have nothing to shirk." Vanessa said.
"Haha... do you really want me to answer the question?" The consultant smiled: "Anyway, after so many games, it is clear that it is impossible to defeat me in various formal chess sports. Since I asked I’ve asked you so many questions, so I might as well give you special treatment and let you ask me one.”
"This is what you said." Vanessa said quickly: "Don't go back on your word! I'm going to ask."
"Wait a minute," the consultant said again.
"Oh, you… "
"I want to make it clear to you, you must not ask me anything like the 'real purpose of the reverse cross'. To be honest, I don't know." The consultant said: "It's rare for you to ask a question, so don't waste the opportunity. .”
"I understand. Let me also remind you, don't forget the rules. You can't lie when you answer." Vanessa said.
"Okay, okay, you ask."
"What is your next plan related to the Steel Commandment?" Since she couldn't ask about the ultimate goal, Vanessa simply asked about the present.
The consultant hesitated for two seconds and replied: "What are you doing? After I tell you, will you find an opportunity to issue a warning to the organization?"
"Is this an answer?" Vanessa imitated a consultant and answered the question with questions.
"Well... the next plan is..." The consultant picked up the tomato juice on the table, took a sip, and said, "My arrangement is this. We will make a three-party transaction with your father and Xingtian's Cao Shuo.
Xingtian will cooperate with the alliance of Steel Commandment and White Lightning to eliminate the remaining organized official resistance forces on the Longjun territory, and clear the entire Longjun territory of the empire's influence. Then, Steel Commandment turned against him and teamed up with Xing Tianli Yingwai to directly attack White Lightning and 'judge' all its senior figures. Once this is done, White Lightning's troops will be leaderless, and naturally there are only two options left: to be incorporated or disbanded. Then, the reverse cross will activate the power of Qian Ming and Silver Shadow to assist Steel Discipline to take down Shuangying County. During this period, although Xing Tian will not directly participate in helping, he will not stab the knife in the back. Steel Discipline can press forward to Double Eagle County without any worries.
And the result of this three-party deal... Xing Tianke takes control of Long County and Southeast Asia, while Iron Commandments occupy the largest county on earth, and finally achieve a rendezvous with the European forces at the western end of Shuangying County. "
"Then what can you get from it?" Vanessa asked.
"Humph...get an ideal situation, that's all." The consultant replied, "Oh, by the way, when the deal is completed, you don't have to stay with us. Another condition your father put forward is to take you as a hostage. Send him back, and after some bargaining, I successfully convinced him to let him go after the matter was completed."
"You thought of this deal before you came to Rome, right?" Vanessa said: "So, taking me as a hostage is just an extra layer of insurance. Even if I die in the ruins of Rome, your deal will remain as normal. conduct."
The consultant smiled and replied: "As I said, I didn't expect you to show up in Rome at first. I originally wanted to arrest your priest."
Vanessa held her cheek with one hand and looked to the side: "Suddenly I felt that I was just a superfluous person, and not a key figure that affects the overall situation."
"What are you doing? It's so good to eat and live, but you can't bear to leave?" the consultant smiled.
Vanessa could hear the irony in his words, so she replied sourly: "Yes, wouldn't it be nice to be a hostage here with you? You can eat, drink, and sleep all day long, and you don't have to do anything. Over the past few months, I have gained a few more pounds.”
"Oh, it turns out that you feel that your life is too comfortable. This is easy to handle. From today on, you will move into my room and I will torture you whenever I have free time." The consultant continued to mock you maliciously.
"Hahaha." Vanessa laughed three times and stood up: "I'm scared to death, che
Oh, please let me go. "She made extremely vicious remarks, turned around and walked out of the restaurant.
After she left, the consultant suddenly grabbed a leftover bone and threw it to the left. In that direction, three pairs of tables and chairs away, the warlock, accountant and Spayton were sitting at the same table. Have a meal.
"Ah! What are you doing!" The warlock was hit on the back of the head and shouted while rubbing his head.
"Who gave you permission to laugh?" the counselor shouted.
"My back is to you, and you know that?"
"I am the only one who laughs at others, and no one else laughs at me." I don't know if this answer is considered domineering, but it is very shameless anyway.
"Are you a humanoid taunting the radar?!" the warlock said.
Spayton said jokingly, "Consultant, you might as well take the time to propose marriage, get things done as soon as possible, and try to give birth to a son next year, so that he can directly inherit the family in the name of Cesare Balmond's grandson. If the position is long, the steel commandment will be broken by then."
"Don't think that I can't kill you just because you're a master." The consultant took a sip of tomato juice and replied with a crooked corner of his mouth.
The accountant smiled and said: "I am qualified as a priest. If you need to conduct certain ceremonies, you can come to me."
"Bah!" the consultant spat: "You got a pheasant's priest qualification certificate online, and you dare to host a wedding? Do you know that you are a Jew? Do you dare to respect yourself?" He then thought again. What, said: "And... think about it carefully, who stipulates that you have to get married first to have a son?"
"Pfft..." "Pfft..." "Pfft..." The three people at the table spat out the contents of their mouths at the same time. They really didn't expect that someone would immediately follow up after saying the word "self-respect". If you refresh your lower limit. (To be continued...)
