Chapter 76

Ren could understand Viola's anger.

Being assassinated by someone sent by my uncle for the sake of a dispute of interests, it is impossible for anyone to accept this kind of thing calmly.

Viola's mood is quite calm now.

In fact, just now, Renn guessed that the mastermind behind the assassination came from the family of the Duke of Silver Star.

Going out for an autumn outing today was Viola's last night's temporary decision. It was difficult for outsiders to get news and they found someone to make arrangements for the assassination overnight.

Only members of the family, because Viola was going to borrow the family yacht, would know about today's itinerary, and let the elementalist and female gunman lurk on the yacht in advance, and do it when they arrived.

However, there were several family members competing for the Earl of Winterting, and Ren didn't know the other contenders, so he couldn't be sure that it was Gallowayna.

It wasn't until Viola recognized the origin of the elementalist, and the two pieces of information combined, that Gallowayna was locked.

Wren also considered another aspect.

The elementalist came from Modu, and it was impossible to arrive at Longshande overnight even by a magic airship. There was only one explanation. The elementalist had actually arrived long ago and was waiting for the opportunity to do it.

This shows that Gallo Weiner has long conspired to assassinate Viola.

But there was one more thing Ren didn't quite understand, and asked, "Do you think that the Shadow Warrior and the Elementalist are not on the same path?"

"I'm not sure."

Viola carefully recalled the previous battle, she shook her head slightly, a little puzzled: "If they are not a group, who sent the Shadow Warrior?"

Ren didn't say that Shadow Warrior is a believer of the Lord of Storms, but only guessed: "Could it be Phyllis? Her motivation is not small, but how could Phyllis know that we are out for an autumn tour..."

"Maybe she has been sending people to follow me secretly." Viola frowned slightly, and said with a strange expression: "Speaking of Phyllis, the last scam of the fake devil soul didn't move, as if it didn't happen It's the same. With Phyllis's character, it's impossible for her to swallow this breath, which makes me feel very strange."

Ren also thinks that Phyllis is not a person who suffers in vain and keeps silent.

With that woman's background, strength and status, and jealousy and hatred towards Viola, how could it be possible to just let it go?

He immediately thought of a possibility, and said, "Could it be that these two groups of people have colluded together?"

If this is the case, then Viola will be in serious trouble. It can be described as internal and external troubles. Let alone competing for the Earl of Winter Ting, he may even lose his life.

Viola's expression became even uglier, and she was at a loss for a while.

She has little support within the family, and her current status is mostly due to her father being reused by the Duke because he was favored by the Duke before and showed outstanding business ability.

It's really hard to say how much the Duke attaches great importance to her great-granddaughter.

Her position is not irreplaceable.

If she was successfully assassinated and died unexpectedly, maybe the Duke would be very angry, but that's all, and then send someone to take over the Violet House and continue to contribute wealth to the family.

After being silent for a while, Ren had a general understanding of Viola's current situation, and comforted him: "You don't have to worry too much, I will stand with you."

Viola nodded slightly, and a smile bloomed on her beautiful face: "Yes, I still have you, and now you are the person I trust the most."

She leaned into Ren's arms, feeling a sense of security, and quickly calmed down.

Wenxiang nephrite was in his arms, but Ren didn't have the slightest thought. He gave her an idea and said, "After you return to Longshande, don't leave the Silver Star District until the end of the year. Under the supervision of the Wizard Tower , no one dares to do it easily."

"I know." Viola snorted softly, and said confidently, "But it's not that easy for them to kill me."

"Whoever dares to touch you must step over my body first." Ren said softly.

Viola trembled slightly, but didn't speak. She just pressed her face against Ren's chest, and hugged her jade arms even tighter.

Feeling the affection between the two, Ren didn't stop thinking in his mind, and gradually came up with an idea.

In the middle of the night, the yacht returned to Longshande and moored at the pier in the Silver Star District.

The guards and servants on the ship were quite frightened, but fortunately no one was injured. Now that they have returned safely, everyone feels as if they have been separated from another world.

Viola took Ren's arm, and the two got off the yacht. Her car was already waiting at the pier.

Sitting in the car, Ren said to the driver, "Take me to Corsham Street, please."

"Ren, it's too late now, you don't have to go back to the apartment, you can spend the night at my house first." Viola told the driver to drive without waiting for Ren to object.

The driver in front was stunned for a second or three seconds before starting the car.

While driving, he couldn't help but peeked at Ren from the rearview mirror in the middle, feeling unspeakable envy in his heart.

Ren didn't think much about it, but he didn't reject Viola's kindness either.

Soon after, the car drove into a quaint manor.

The manor occupies a vast area, with a large lawn in front of the gate, several fountains and corridors, and a large garden surrounding the three-storey villa, surrounded by greenery and high walls, like a small castle.

Ren looked west from the car, and a huge black shadow stood in the night, it was the wizard tower.

Viola's manor is almost at the foot of the wizard's tower, only two or three hundred steps away, and the Silver Star Academy is next door. It is difficult to find a safer place in Longshande.

Of course, the price of this manor is unimaginable for ordinary people.

Viola said in a low voice: "This manor is actually the inheritance left by my parents, and it is also the most valuable asset in my name. Many rich people wanted to bid for it, but I rejected them."

Ren nodded. Only fools would sell such super high-quality assets.

The car stopped steadily outside the tall and solemn foyer. A housekeeper waiting on the steps opened the car door for Viola and said respectfully, "Miss, you are back."

"Well, sorry to trouble you, Ms. Abigail." Viola greeted the housekeeper, and the relationship between the two was very cordial.

"This is what I should do." Abigail asked with concern: "Miss, are you not injured?"

She knew what happened on the yacht through the sound meter.

"It's okay, I'm fine." Viola didn't want to talk too much. At this time, Ryan also got out of the car. She introduced: "This is Ryan, Ms. Abigail. You can arrange a room for him on the third floor." Guest room."

Surprise flashed in Abigail's eyes. Viola brought a male friend home for the first time, and it was still late at night.

She took a quick look at Ren, without showing too much curiosity, and replied, "Okay, welcome to Mr. Ren to visit Vigo Manor."

"Thank you." Ren smiled at her, and habitually opened the eyes of the soul.

This female housekeeper is also an extraordinary person, her profession is a ranger, but she is only level three, and her strength is relatively ordinary.

She should be around fifty years old, with good looks and charming charm. Judging from the color of her soul, she has no malice towards herself, and seems to be a little scrutinized, like a mother-in-law's feeling when she meets her future son-in-law for the first time.

In addition, like Viola, she is a believer in the long-haired lady.

The three of them entered the villa, passed through the foyer, and saw a large and graceful living room in front of them. There was a huge crystal lamp hanging on the top, illuminating the whole living room like daytime.

Several beautiful maids stood in the living room, saying hello in unison.

Each of them is well-trained, and there is no panic at all when they are suddenly pulled up in the middle of the night.

Ren can sense that everyone in this Vigo Manor is very curious about themselves.

Abigail's butler moved very neatly. With two servants, he quickly helped Ren clean up the room and moved in.

He had discovered that this was not actually a guest room, but one of the master's suites.

There are only three rooms on the third floor, and Viola lives in the other one, the real guests live on the second floor, and the servants are on the ground floor, and they cannot come up without permission.

In the dead of night, after washing, Ren lay down on the soft and luxurious bed, and let his thoughts go.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, he heard light footsteps coming from outside the door.

So he quickly got up and opened the door.

Viola appeared in front of him in a silk nightgown at home.

"Ren..."

Viola was startled by the sudden opening of the door, and then her eyes showed a bit of shyness.

Ren's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, but he pretended to be calm on the surface, and asked with a smile, "It's so late, why don't you go to sleep?"

Viola pulled down his collar nervously, and said seriously: "I'm here to thank you for everything you've done for me today, especially for blocking bullets for me with your body, thank you."

"It's my responsibility to protect you." Ren took it for granted.

Viola didn't think so, shook her head and sighed: "Many men usually say that, but there are very few men who really do it. In this world, those who are willing to sacrifice their lives to protect their lovers and even their families will always be They're all in the minority."

She looked at Ren, and her eyes became brighter and more attractive: "And you are one of the few people. I never thought before that someone would be willing to give their lives for me."

Ren couldn't bear such eager eyes.

She didn't expect Viola to be so moved by her pounce and subconscious action.

He scratched his head and said truthfully: "I didn't think too much about it at the time. The reason why I dared to block the bullet for you was because I knew I would not die."

"It doesn't matter what you think. To me, the most important thing is that you do it."

Viola spoke softly.

She walked through the door step by step, standing on tiptoe a little.

Ryan caught her.

Viola suddenly let go and backed away, blushing.

"What's wrong?" Ren looked dull.

Viola hesitated, but said, "Ren, there is one thing I have to tell you before that. After you know, no matter what choice you make, I will agree."
