"We've been paying a little attention to the United States. The Salier family has been doing well in the past few years. Five years ago, you threw the mother and daughter to Europe and didn't care about them anymore. Have you ever thought about what the little girl will think of you?"
"She became a star because you guys helped her behind the scenes, right?"
"She has the talent, Kelly likes her, and someone gave her so many songs. It's hard for her not to be famous. Should we go up and say hello?"
"I'd better not. She probably hates me now …"
"You really have a lot of enemies …"
As the two were talking, the girl's gaze swept over Natalie and Jiaming. Two seconds later, she suddenly turned back. The soft singing stopped, and the microphone in her hands fell off the shelf. There was a burst of noise in the hall.
The noise didn't last long. The girl's bewildered gaze followed Jiaming. She opened her mouth and the singing finally came back.
When he first saved the mother and daughter in 1995, the little girl was only ten years old. Five years ago, Heidi was almost fourteen years old. She expressed her feelings for him. Whether it was admiration, admiration, or love, she was very determined to monopolize him. She drugged, confessed, and even took off her clothes and hid under her quilt to make her mother misunderstand. Jiaming had a headache when it came to this kind of troublesome matter. The fourteen-year-old girl's outlook on life had begun to be established, and she was at the most rebellious age. Although some people said that it could be guided patiently, in Jiaming's opinion, it was all very troublesome. The most likely result was that the three of them couldn't be separated. Therefore, after solving the matter with Ya Han, he directly let them come to Europe to get away from the American Mafia. Then, he faded out of their lives. It could be said that he cut the Gordian knot with a knife.
In any case, Marilyn seemed to be somewhat inseparable from her feelings for him, but in fact, she was more looking for a kind of comfort and a way to survive. The reason why the two of them slept together was that carnal desire was the most direct form of expression, but it didn't mean that it was really the main point.
She was no longer a child. Regardless of whether there was love between the two of them with a huge age gap, she had already found the road sign she needed. After so many years, the incident with Tang Jingyao should have become indifferent in her heart. In the end, her daughter would still become the most important person in her life, and not her.
Heidi was the only one who had a clear distinction between love and hate. She would definitely have opinions and hate him for leaving them behind like this, but it didn't matter. Anyway, people would grow up. These things might seem serious, but in fact, they weren't worth mentioning. He had grown up in an atmosphere where assassins were trained since he was young, but he still lived well. People had to walk their own path, and they had to be responsible for their own future. They could be weak, but complete weakness and self-pity were unforgivable. Heidi was so strong-willed that she wouldn't be hindered by these things.
That was what he thought at the beginning, but now that he saw it, he felt a little helpless for a while. Natalie naturally didn't care too much about this kind of thing. As the two of them walked inside, the girl's singing voice began to rise little by little, with a hint of anger in it.
When they passed through the door leading to the side garden of the banquet hall, the singing finally reached its peak. Natalie lowered her head and smiled, "By the way, Yu Shouxi is in Albania."
"Albania?"
Jiaming frowned. This was the second time he heard the name of this country today. Although the man named Xie Bao Shu at the airport said that it should be a coincidence that he went to Albania, he couldn't help but emphasize his tone.
"Yes, we guessed that he should be in Sweden or England, and they also have a research base near Copenhagen. Recently, we confirmed that he should be in Albania now. More than ten days ago, Masayoshi Tian disappeared here. We think that he found something, and Takama-ga-hara didn't want to pass through us, so they directly sent people here. We received the news today that they were all wiped out … Ha, since they didn't ask for help from us, I'm too lazy to care about them …"
She curled her lips, then waved at a person not far away. Just now, he asked, "Where's Miss Kelly?"
This person was probably also a member of Dim Lyra. At this time, he looked at Natalie and then at Jiaming, and said, "Miss Kelly, she … she went back after answering a phone call. She didn't allow anyone to follow her, and left by herself in a helicopter …"
"…"
Natalie was silent for a moment. Just now, she glanced at Jiaming and sighed, "I thought she was really powerful, but women …" Jiaming was thinking about something. At this time, he looked up and smiled, "You know, even if they met, it would at most be a fight. By the way, Pei Luojia does have a research base in Albania. I haven't been there, but … it should be near the border with Greece, near Korca or Cologne. As for the specific location …"
"I'll find it."
Natalie stopped smiling and nodded. Then, she waved at the person next to her, "I'll go make a phone call and then go back to find Kelly. As for personal matters, you'll have to rely on yourself." Then, she smiled again and turned to another room.
This small garden was built between two buildings, and at the same time, it was also a small platform facing the sea. The sun had already set in the distant horizon.
Jiaming stood for a while, mainly thinking about Pei Luojia. Back then, he did not manage the internal affairs of Pei Luojia. His understanding of Pei Luojia's organization was based on years of contact. It was impossible to say that he knew it like the back of his hand. However, he knew Otaki very well.
This was a genius brimming with madness. In certain aspects, he could indeed be called a peerless genius, but he was also brimming with an aura of self-destruction. In the previous generation, he had personally killed his own father, and then controlled Pei Luojia to do a series of crazy things. As an assassin who dealt with death and abnormal humans all year round, he could clearly sense that this guy had already shouldered his own cross and sunk into a completely dark abyss.
After four years of silence, he suddenly appeared this time and formed an alliance with several vampires that did not appear in the previous life. He even temporarily gave up his main base in Japan and mobilized his forces to lurk in Europe. No matter what, it gave people an extremely ominous feeling.
Some things could be deduced. The reason why Takama-ga-hara sent their elites to Europe and did not go through the Gloomy Lyra was, of course, not because they wanted to maintain world peace alone, but because there was profit to be made. This meant that Pei Luojia was currently in possession of something very tempting. This thing was very tempting, but it did not appear in the previous world. So, of course, it should be placed on some new things that appeared. The only explanation was that group of vampires.
It was hard to say what good things the monsters from thousands of years ago would have, but the biggest possibility was that Pei Luojia had mastered the trick to create a large number of immortals, or the key to it. This experiment had some results from the Gloomy Lyra a few years ago through the dwarf. At that time, Pei Luojia had cooperated with the count, and this time, he had found even more powerful immortals. If they were willing to cooperate, the benefits would be more than just a little.
Of course, regardless of the reason, since the beginning, it was unrealistic to expect peace. It was nothing more than to see things through to the end, and cooperate with the Gloomy Lyra to get rid of Yu Shouxi and the group of immortals. With his current power, this matter should not be more difficult than killing Yu Shouxi.
With such a tone, there was no need to think too much about the rest. As for Kelly and Heidi, although they seemed to make people frown, in fact, it was better to just let nature take its course. On the surface, he looked troubled, but in fact, there was no burden in his heart. Both he and Natalie knew this very well.
Not long after Natalie disappeared into the garden, the song over there came to an end. The girl's voice was very loud, as if she was singing in a fit of pique, but her eyes kept looking at the door. When the song ended, she pulled up her lake-green skirt and was about to rush over. Five years had turned the girl into a young girl. Along the way, some people talked to her. Although she was impatient, she still responded with a polite smile.
Although she kept approaching, the girl's eyebrows still carried a bit of restraint. Of course, it might not be accurate to say that she was restrained. Every time Jiaming's eyes met hers, she would subconsciously stop and pout, looking a little unhappy.
After more than five years, she probably knew that her appearance had changed a little. She changed her hairstyle, permed it, dyed it, and wore a long skirt. She was no longer the little girl who was somewhat unscrupulous and lawless and wanted to be the godmother of the underworld. She was also not sure if Jiaming had recognized her. At this moment, her expression was clearly saying: "It's me, it's me, quickly recognize me." Seeing that, Jiaming could not help but find it funny.
Perhaps in Heidi's heart, she had changed a lot, but in his view, the little girl of the past was still the same little girl.
Let's see what she can do.
Jiaming stood leaning against the railing, his eyes sweeping around, looking at the people in the banquet. Heidi finally pulled her skirt and walked to the door. Frowning, she stopped hesitantly. On the other side, a blonde young man in a white suit was in a hurry. He had just rushed over from the other side of the banquet hall and seemed to have asked a few words with some people around him. When he saw Heidi, he trotted up happily and grabbed Heidi's wrist with a white lace glove from behind. "Hi, Janet."
Heidi had been looking at Jiaming and was startled. Her body shook and she turned her head back in a panic. Seeing that person's face, she frowned and pursed her lips into a line.
Although she had a displeased expression, she still looked cute from the side.
"Janet, my cousin is here today. She's the one I told you about before. I'll introduce her to you later. You'll be happy to see her. She's the pride of our family. You know, the music company you're in now is just a small business under her."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Viscount. I have something to do now …" Heidi broke free from the man's hand and took a step back with a frown. She looked at Jiaming again and met his amused gaze. Before she could think about it, the viscount took another step forward and grabbed her wrist again. He didn't notice the girl's emotions, and his face was filled with sincere joy. "Janet, listen to me …"
"Don't pull me!"
This time, the voice was louder, and Heidi took another step back. The surrounding people looked over, and the young viscount finally realized that something was wrong. At the same time, an ordinary-looking middle-aged woman trotted over. "Janet, how can you do this?
Viscount Alman … "It seemed to be her manager.
At this moment, another woman walked over. "Alman, what's wrong?"
The woman looked to be in her thirties, and her appearance wasn't good. Her tall western figure made her look a little thin, and her thin eyes were a little sharp. Her right hand was crossed in front of her chest, and her left hand was holding a glass of red wine. "Hello, Miss Janet. You sang well."
No matter how popular a celebrity was, they didn't have much status in the eyes of these people. Different social relationships, different social classes, and this was why countless female celebrities always wanted to marry into a rich family.
However, Heidi didn't answer at this time. She looked at Jiaming, and her cheeks gradually puffed up. A moment later, she pushed away the manager next to her and ran over while holding her skirt.
Her high heels made a clicking sound on the garden path. Halfway through, she stumbled and almost fell. A few seconds later, she finally stood in front of Jiaming and stared at him with her eyes wide open. Her cheeks were still puffed up, and her chest rose and fell violently because of her rapid breathing.
Just like the scene back then, Jiaming laughed and reached out to ruffle her hair mischievously. She looked indignant, but she didn't resist. She just shook her head like a kitten under his hand.
"A gentleman won't touch a lady's head …"
"She's just a little girl. How is she a lady …"
"She is already one."
The red sunset shone on them in the last glow of the sunset.
"… Ah, she really is."
He said softly, feeling a little emotional.
