Chapter 17: Straw bales

The bad premonition in the bottom of my heart makes these people hiding in the shadows and with bad intentions feel tense in their hearts. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

"No, it won't!"

"The Wayne family just accidentally caught fire!"

"That's right, that's it!"

They gave themselves comfort in the bottom of their hearts.

There's nothing surprising about that.

People subconsciously deny ominous premonitions.

It's like resisting death.

Fearful, but useless.

What should come will always come, and nothing will stop it.

No matter how many reasons and excuses there are, it is the same.

Because, all the while, they didn't know what role they were getting into.

The same was true of the new Earl of Vain.

……

Outside the manor, the wind and rain were heavy, and the hall was as warm as spring, and people danced under the lights and music.

The new Earl of Vane smiled and raised his glass frequently.

For the new earl, the scene before him was not just an ordinary dinner party, but also the main moment when he officially announced his ascension to the position of patriarch of the House of Venn.

So, with majesty in luxury.

The guards who were heavily armed and guarding the manor were not only intimidating outsiders, but also the smiling fellow clansmen in front of them.

The new Earl of Venn is well aware.

These people are not convinced!

Moreover, such sentiments will be there for quite some time to come.

But what can they do?

After all, he was already the new Earl of Wayne, the new patriarch.

The entire Vane family will be dominated by him.

By the time he had taken the family guard in his hands one step ahead, it was all doomed.

"A bunch of idiots!"

The thought of these former competitors, who had co-opted him after the death of the old earl, made the new earl's heart full of contempt and disdain.

He had had enough of being called around, so how could he let go of the opportunity in front of him?

The contempt and disdain in his heart did not prevent the new earl from holding his glass again and clinking glasses with the competitors and losers in front of him one by one.

It's just that the smile becomes haughty.

The losers in front of him, in the eyes of the new earl, are no different from the lost dogs.

He has already taken back the other party's valuable property, and all the other party and others can have is an attic in the city.

"Thank you for your kindness!"

"I didn't kill you all!"

The thought that came to his heart made the new earl more and more arrogant.

It also made the members of the Venn family present more and more frightened.

You must know that the new earl in front of you is not a soft-hearted person, and those who are unwilling to obey have already entered the family cemetery.

Those who can stand here today are those who have paid their respects to the new earl.

Looking at the disgruntled but frightened clansmen in front of him, the new earl really wanted to laugh out loud, and he was really satisfied with the scene in front of him.

Isn't that what he dreamed of?

Soon, however, the good mood of the new earl faded away.

After a few whispers in the ear of the new earl, the new earl left the ball with an ugly face.

Looking at the back of the new earl, the members of the Venn family breathed a sigh of relief.

But at the thought of the new earl's ugly face, the men became apprehensive again.

There is no doubt that everyone in the Venn family who is still alive and standing here has been frightened by the new earl, and even their own emotions have become affected by the new earl.

Such a person has no future at all.

As for the new earl?

In the study, the other party's roar was already heard.

"Damn it!"

"Didn't I tell you to find a good hand to kill that nun?"

"Why did it fail?"

The angry new earl smashed the glass in his hand to the head of his attendant.

Syllable!

The glass shattered, and blood flowed from the attendant's forehead.

"Master, I've found two of the most famous killers in the city, but who knew that they died silently in the alley!"

"Rest assured, I ......"

Before the attendant could finish his words, he passed out on the ground, revealing the figure behind him.

"Who are you!"

The new earl let out a low growl, reaching for the flintlock pistol in the drawer.

Qin Ran looked at the other party's movements and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Compared with the old earl, the new earl in front of him is more than a little bit worse.

Not only temper and character, but also the ability to judge the situation.

Not at all a level.

Bang!

Qin Ran, who was wearing a hood and covering most of his face, was unceremoniously kicked the other party to the ground.

"Do you know who I am?"

"I'm ...... Yes! ”

The other party who was kicked to the ground was very naïve, and at this time, he didn't forget to threaten Qin Ran with his identity.

It's just that Qin Ran instantly made the other party recognize the reality.

Syllable!

The other party, whose fingers were severed in his right hand, let out a wail.

"Shut up!"

Qin Ran let out a low snort.

The other party did not shut up, but wailed louder.

Syllable!

Another finger was broken by Qin Ran.

When Qin Ran grabbed the other party's third finger, the new earl shut up.

"I ask, you answer."

"What else did you do to St. Paul's School other than sending two killers?"

Qin Ran asked.

"I, I...... Yes! ”

The new earl hesitated.

In exchange, his third finger was broken.

"I didn't do anything!"

"It's just that the killer was sent!"

"Avenge the old earl, this is what I must do to become a new earl, not what I want to do!"

When Qin Ran picked up the fourth finger of the new earl, the other party almost cried bitterly.

"Didn't reveal the secrets of the Dawn Church's treasures?"

Qin Ran asked.

"Treasure?"

"What treasure?"

The other party was stunned.

Looking at the other party's appearance, Qin Ran raised his eyebrows.

No lying!

The other party with such a sloppy bag will definitely not be able to do this kind of cover-up.

In other words, what the old earl did, the people of the Venn family did not know?

No, it's not the people of the Vane family who don't know, it's just that the new earl in front of him doesn't know.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain the fact that the secret of the treasure has been leaked.

Others, you say?

Sister Moni and Gonransen would never say it.

And the rest of the people, after signing the contract, naturally know what to do.

Only the people of the Earl of Vane would think of anything from the disappearance and death of the Earl of Vane, but the new Earl in front of him ......

Qin Ran didn't think that the other party had such an ability.

Step, step!

Fast, jumbling, footsteps approached quickly.

The new earl, who had just wept bitterly, immediately became insolent.

"My people are coming!"

"I'm going to make you pay!"

"I want you to understand what happens if you offend the Earl of Venne......"

Bang!

With a kick, Qin Ran kicked the other party away.

The other party who knocked down the door of the study let out a groan of more and more pain, making the guards who arrived faster and faster.

Looking at the heavy figures in the corridor, Qin Ran didn't have any sense of surprise.

When he didn't stop the other person from exhaling in pain, he knew what was going to happen.

Call!

A huge fireball appeared in Qin Ran's hand.

Quiet!

The guards who had rushed bravely just now were as if they had been hit by the immobilization technique, their eyes widened, and they looked at the fireball in Qin Ran's hand.

It's just that the guards of ordinary people have never seen such an unbelievable scene.

How can a person control the flames?

That's something that only demons can do.

The fear of the unknown began to spread rapidly.

Before Qin Ran could make any further moves, the guards began to flee.

At a faster pace than before.

But how quickly the fireball shot overshoots.

Rumble!

The explosion of flames rolled and swallowed the running crowd, and the entire floor was baptized with flames, and then the entire building.

Ignoring the heavy rain, the flames burned.

Soon, the entire Vane Manor was in flames.

A group of members of the Vane family watched in panic in the heavy rain, completely overwhelmed.

Only after being reminded by the guards did he realize what he was going to do now

"Fight the fire!"

"Fight the fire!"

……

People shouted loudly.

The whole scene was chaotic.

No one noticed that one of their clansmen was sneering upward.

Likewise, no one noticed a hand reaching out from the shadows, pulling the Venn into the darkness behind him.
