Chapter 75

After seeing off the three fleets, Lorraine Hill got on the carriage with the painted night flower logo, and then the group began to return.

As the weather gets cooler, there are some fallen leaves on Hopland street. Although it's not very cold by the sea, the night wind also makes us feel cool.

After the hot season, everyone's appetite is better than usual. There are more stalls on the street, such as cheap and affordable pancakes, spicy grilled fish, and some carefully selected grilled mussels.

The clam meat in the white shell is slightly burnt yellow by the orange red charcoal fire, sprinkled with some salt, and then some laurel leaves to remove the fishy smell. The smell of meat begins to spread in the air.

"Sister, I want that."

Beside the street stood a pair of brothers and sisters. The elder sister with long chestnut hair was wearing a black skirt, while the younger brother was wearing a white hunting suit. They were the brothers and sisters of the Hollis family, Meru and bell, followed by four guards.

"Bell, you'd better go back and eat. I'll let the chef cook it for you then."

Mei Lu looked at the stall on the street and was directly exposed to the sea breeze. Occasionally, some dust was picked up by the wind, and she felt that it was not very clean.

"No, after I go back, my father has to grasp me to learn those annoying numbers. I don't want them. I will eat here. You promised me to have a good day with me today, sister."

The little boy bell starts to lose his temper. Meru is not that kind of ruthless sister. Bell is expected by her father since childhood. She is very strict at home, and only she can take her out occasionally.

"Well, my sister will buy it for you." Meru fondled Bell's head, then took him by the hand and went forward to help him choose.

Lorraine Hill's carriage also happened to pass through the street. Seeing the sister and brother, he stopped the car and prepared to say hello.

The fir door opened, and the girl came down in a white knee length skirt. The afterglow of the setting sun came down from the edge of the sea and dyed the white skirt with a touch of gold.

"I haven't seen you in a few days, may..."

Before Lorraine Hill finished speaking, a carriage at the back of the road suddenly lifted the wrapping cloth, revealing the cold light and cold crossbow. The bowstring vibrated, and the sharp sound had not yet been transmitted. The sharp crossbow arrow was directly directed at the girl's body.

Lorraine hill made a quick decision. Her light blue strapped sandals heavily stepped on the stone bricks. Taking this as a fulcrum, she quickly turned sideways, her long skirt was dancing, and her blood and hair were flying up in the air. In an instant, her shoulders were covered with a bloodstain, and her long hair around her ears was several strands less.

But before anyone else could react, a guard on Mei Lu's side suddenly pulled out her sword and rushed straight over. There was a strange blue light on the sword made of cold iron.

The sword is poisonous. Lorraine Hill reacts quickly. After starting the demon core, she is not afraid of any poison, but it also means the end of the mission. All her previous efforts are in vain.

Although I don't understand why the Hercules family's guards also started, after a short time of thinking, Lorraine Hill decided not to start the extraordinary core for the time being. With his extraordinary perception and reaction ability, he could easily avoid the sword.

The fierce sword light fell on the door of the fir tree and got stuck. At this time, the guards of the caritus chamber of commerce also reacted and rushed over.

A charites guard wearing steel armor directly knocked the assassin away, and Chelsea also pulled loranthal back into the solid carriage. Four riders rushed directly to the crossbow behind. Before the crossbow could shoot the second shot, these riders stabbed the assassin and pulled him off the carriage.

At this time, more than a dozen guards of the calites chamber of Commerce had surrounded the brothers and sisters of the Hollis family, with long guns aimed at them, waiting for them. If it wasn't for Lorraine Hill's emergency stop in the middle of the journey, they would have rushed straight up to see the blood.

The guardians of the Caritas chamber of commerce are all young people who have been selected from the chamber of Commerce recently. Their parents and family members work in the chamber of Commerce. They have come into contact with the affairs of the Caritas chamber of Commerce since childhood to help them. It can be said that the chamber of Commerce has greatly improved their family and life, and they have a strong sense of belonging. It's not too much to say that they have a second home.

But now someone has assassinated Miss Lacey, the only successor of the Caritas chamber of Commerce, in front of them, and let the chamber of Commerce collapse. This is tantamount to destroying their source of happiness.

Looking at these angry guards, a long gun full of murderous, bell shakes off the shell and mussel on the spot, Meilu protects her younger brother behind, facing the aim of these long guns and crossbows with worry.

The rest of the family's guards had been taken down and laid on the ground.

After everything settled down, Lorraine hill slowly walked out of the carriage, looking at the scene, a little helpless.

-----------------

The maid carefully wrapped Lorraine Hill's arm with gauze, while the girl invited the two brothers into the carriage to talk.

Ding——

The sound of the ceramic tray crashing into the teacup, the maid pouring the warm black tea, bell holding the teacup, slowly settling down at the moment, while Meru said apologetically.

"I'm very sorry, Miss Lacey. It's our Hollis that we let the assassin into the guard because of the lax guard."

"Please don't get me wrong. This incident was not caused by Hollis. Tomorrow I'll come back to apologize and make up for the loss."

"I'm afraid miss Mello is joking. The guards around you are carefully selected from the family members of the chamber of Commerce. It's not too much to say that they are the side branch of your family. How can they not know?"

Chelsea pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose. His eyes were sharp and he didn't seem to be satisfied with the explanation of the young lady.

"I know it's far fetched, but it's true."

Meru's voice was self mocking, with a trace of bitterness.

The family tradition of the Hollis family attaches great importance to kinship, which also leads to many internal positions being held by relatives. These relatives are not all smart and competent. On the contrary, most of them are lazy and corrupt, which makes the chamber of Commerce bloated.

She also resents these easy-going relatives, but after all, they are related by blood. She is only the daughter of the family, not the eldest son. She will marry out in the future and can't discipline them too much. But who wants to make such a big deal today.

Lorraine Hill's wound under the bandage had healed, but she was not very angry. She was just a little surprised that Meru, as the parent and daughter of Hollis, had so many inconveniences and constraints at home.

As a matter of fact, this is a special case of caritis. Other chamber of Commerce families are scattered and have many relatives. Under the influence of westerly tradition of caring for the family, the large chamber of Commerce family in Vilga generally treat their own family favorably. After all, they are trustworthy and have stronger blood ties. But it also decentralizes power, breeds corruption, and often balances the feelings and interests of other members.

The Carites family is totally different. The interior is very fresh. Everything depends on their strength and performance. As for relatives, I'm sorry, Angus has a daughter. Now everything has the final say of what Miss Lacey has to say. From top to bottom, there is only one voice from her, and no need to think of other out of order household chores. She just knows her blessings in happiness.
