Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 139: Lian Cheng

"Let's get back to business, Leon. Let's talk about you." Alan said.

Leon shrugged his shoulders and sat down. "After this winter, I'm going to the Outer Realm," he said. I'm sure it's going to be a tough journey. Because I'm going with Paul and the card artisan this time, if my two brothers don't intend to cause me any trouble during the war in the Outer Realm, I don't believe that they'll kill me. But I will definitely come back, at most two years. After I return, I will charge for the position of successor. At that time, I will need the support of some friends. "

"I thought you had a lot of friends," Ellen said with a smile.

"Heh, quite a lot. But I need stronger allies. At least, the kind that won't be scared back by one or two assassinations." Leon patted Alan on the shoulder and said, "Brother, think about it." Our ancestors will always grow old. Rather than letting the clan fall into the hands of mediocre people, it would be better for us to take charge. Of course, no one would consider themselves mediocre. No matter what, looking at all the wealthy clans, which clan leader didn't rush out from the Blood Mountain Corpse Sea? However, relying on one person's strength is not enough, so you and I both need friends, enough to support a firm ally of the alliance. "

Leon looked at Adele, who was still soaked in body repair fluid, and smiled. "Miss Morsen is a woman that I seldom value. She is even more troublesome than the men I know." So, if there's a hostess in the Morsen family, I'm willing to give her my full support. Likewise, I need Adele's ability in certain aspects, such as her perception of conspiracies, and the operation of money. "

"Damn it, Leon. If you say that, I'm like the kind of woman who makes trouble behind her back!" Adele protested.

Leon raised his hand. "I apologize for my mistake, Miss Adele."

"Scram, your apology is not sincere at all."

Leon laughed and looked at Alan, "As for you, Alan, I need your knife." At the same time, I don't want to stand on the other side of your blade. Yes, ever since I saw you slash Diego three times that afternoon, I feel more and more that you are a friend that I must fight for with all my might, because being your enemy is even more terrifying. Don't blame me for confessing that you were worthless in that family until you entered the Bescot heir ranks for a day. But I need your martial power. In my generation, I have never seen anyone more terrifying than you using a saber. "

"As a reward, I will guarantee that there will be no objections when Patriarch Horn proposes to let you enter the heir ranks!" Leon said seriously, "As for the future, if you intend to fight for the position of Patriarch, I will support you unconditionally."

Alan nodded. "It's mutual benefit."

"That's right, I know you might not be used to it. But our origins have meant that our relationship must be mixed with other things. They can be money, they can be benefits. I just want to say that I hope we can put friendship above other factors. The question is, can you trust me, trust us?" Leon looked fixedly at Alan's eyes.

'"If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't be sitting here right now. I know what this conversation means. It could change the fate of the three of us, or even affect a lot of people. I want to say, you two are people I don't hate. So don't give me the chance to turn my saber at you." Allen's eyes lit up.

Leon said cheerfully, "I won't give you the chance, because I don't want to be as upset as Diego."

'"Since we've spread it out tonight, I have to introduce you to a friend. I hope you don't hate him," he added.

'"Damn Leon, how many people are you going to let see me like this?" Adele said angrily as she got out of the bedroom.

Alan laughed.

A moment later, Leon returned with another fifteen or sixteen year old boy. To Alan's surprise, this youth was actually an Oriental. His black hair shattered as he leapt lightly. Under his slanted eyebrows, a pair of amber-colored eyes were restrained. Below the tall nose mountain were two thin lips that rose up into a small arc.

His most eye-catching fingers were ten fingers, each as thin and white as a jade carving, which made Adele involuntarily pinch her hand, and she wished she could cut off both of the young man's palms.

A boy with such a thin hand, how could these girls survive?

This oriental youth's brows were clear, giving off a very clean feeling. It was like the first snow in winter, pure and white.

"Introduce yourself?" Leon looked at him and asked softly.

He smiled faintly and said, "Despicable Jin, his name is Lian Cheng. His ancestors settled in Babylon 200 years ago and are now barely in the ranks of the secular families. It is a great honor to meet young master Allen and Miss Adele tonight. Lian Cheng feels that this trip is well worth it."

Adele said, "So it's the Jin family that started out with silk spices."

"It's the Despicable Clan. If Miss Adele promises, I'll have three bottles of Fragrant Jade Lotus delivered to your clan some other day." Jin Liancheng smiled faintly.

Adele hurriedly nodded, "I accept this gift!"

She didn't know what the Heavenly Fragrance Jade Dew was, but looking at Adele like that, even if Alan was blind, he knew that this gift was definitely not simple. Tian Xiang Yu Gui Lu was indeed not simple. It was a perfume made from a hundred kinds of oriental herbs and prepared by the Jin Clan's own ingredients. It produced less than a hundred bottles a year for the wives and daughters of high-ranking officials. It was a top luxury item in Babylon, and it was difficult to buy it even if one had money.

Even Adele found it very difficult to get such a bottle of oriental perfume. Jin Liancheng was also quite generous. She had three bottles at a time and was even more fond of them. Adele was naturally greatly disappointed.

Jin Liancheng looked at Ellen and said, "I had a strong desire to pursue Miss Adele, though Leon had warned me that Miss Adele's lover was not to be trifled with." I didn't take it to heart, but I saw the video of you being attacked at the garage. Young Master Allen's decisiveness and valor in helping him was inferior to Lian Cheng's. And so, like Leon, he would never have any thoughts of Miss Adele in the future, because he would not have the slightest hesitation of yours. "

Alan was stunned for a moment before finally shaking his head and saying to Leon, "This must be the most talkative person I've ever seen."

Adele suddenly said, "This miss is coming out. You three bastards, hurry up and get out."

Leon shrugged and said, "Let's scram before Miss Adele bursts her head when she sees something she shouldn't. At that time, all ambitions and ambitions were empty talk."

The three of them chuckled and left.

When they arrived in the living room, the previous guests had already been sent away by Leon, so it was convenient for them to have a heart-to-heart exchange.

Jin Liancheng bluntly asked, "Don't you know that Young Master Allen is willing to make this friend of Liancheng's?"

Alan looked at Leon. The latter spread out his hands and walked away. It was clear that he had the final say and would not interfere. Alan nodded and said, "I don't have many friends. Of course I do. I'm a very simple person. If I really do, I'll give you twelve percent of my trust. But if someone uses it as an article, I promise he'll definitely regret it."

Jin Liancheng nodded and said, "Even Jin Liancheng is not ashamed of a person who betrays morality. In the ancestral teachings of the Jin Clan, there is such a precept. It is said that a person must have faith in order to travel all over the world. Even if Jin Liancheng dares to make friends with Young Master Allen today, he will never betray him. Because I, like Leon, am unwilling to face your saber."

"That's easy, but there's one last condition." Alan raised a finger and said, "That's to remove the word 'Young Master'. Otherwise, I won't treat you as a friend."

"This is easy."

Leon walked back and hugged their shoulders. "Alright, after tonight, no matter where we are, we will be best friends and brothers. If anyone betrays anyone, they will be mercilessly slaughtered by the other three!"

"Don't you have anything else to say except to fight back and forth?" Adele's voice suddenly cut in.

She had already changed into another set of clothes, and apart from her pale face and bandages on her hands and feet, she could not see any serious harm. Ellen spread out his hands and said, "We are discussing who was the mastermind behind the killing tonight."

"What's the conclusion?" Adele rolled her eyes at him in disbelief.

'"Isn't that under discussion?" Said Alan. "Leon, think about it. Who knows Adele is your ally?"

Leon frowned, "There are definitely no more than five people who know about this."

Jin Liancheng said from the side, "Is there any way to bring these five people together?"

"Coincidentally, they will all appear at the battle tonight." Leon said.

"Looks like I have to go out for a walk," said Adele, stretching herself.

"You're injured. I'll have someone send you back to rest." Leon frowned.

'"How can I see the disappointed expressions of those who want to kill me when I go home to rest?" Adele laughed.

Alan was the first to react, and said, "Adele, that's a good idea. Think about it. If I were the mastermind, there would definitely be some reaction when I saw Adele show up."

Leon slapped his thigh and said, "Then I will definitely get something if I send someone to keep an eye on them."

The few of them agreed to split up. Leon and Jin Liancheng left first, while Alan stayed behind to accompany Adele. Adele looked much better after putting on her light makeup. She jumped up and grabbed Ellen's arm. "Let's go, let's go to a soul singer concert first. The secret duel will be held later. There's time."

Alan frowned, "Then I can't go back to the academy tonight."

"What are you afraid of? Don't worry, little elk. Sister won't eat you." Said Adele with a beaming smile.

Seeing that she was still romantic, Alan could do nothing to her and could only smile bitterly helplessly.
