Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Chapter 760 Cannon Fodder in a Western Fantasy World (20)

Saving Victoria was Caesar's business, and had nothing to do with Shen Yao and Vilan.

Once the situation at the banquet had stabilized, Vilan was the first to take his leave.

After all, there's no excitement to be had if he stays any longer, so he might as well go back first. There are traitors on all sides, and he'll know exactly what's going on with Caesar's side.

Shen Yao raised her head and whispered in Wei Lan's ear that many people in the banquet hall had just disappeared in the chaos, "I don't know if they went back or if something unfortunate happened."

The smell of blood in the air suggests that a tragedy has likely occurred.

There were many vampires at the banquet. These non-human creatures were all sharp-eyed and perceptive. Shen Yao tried to speak softly, but she couldn't stop others from wanting to hear.

Vilan raised her hand and gently patted Shen Yao's back to comfort her, saying casually, "She probably left on her own. We're all adults," implying that she could take responsibility for her actions.

Even if they really did die at the banquet, didn't they know this was a possibility before they even attended? It's just that greed got the better of them, and they clung to that self-deceiving thought that such a thing wouldn't happen to them.

As soon as Vilan finished speaking, the entire banquet hall suddenly fell silent.

Shen Yao:……?

She did want to shatter the facade of peace that Caesar had maintained, but she didn't expect Vilan to cooperate so readily. That conversation was like a slap in the face to everyone in the room. Even those with thick skin would feel a little uncomfortable.

“Let’s not talk about that. The commotion just now was too loud, and the host family has to deal with it,” Vilan said with a smile, looking at Caesar who hadn’t left yet. “In that case, let’s head back first.”

Caesar: ...

"See you"

"See you"

"I never want to see Vilan's face again," Caesar cursed inwardly, but in the end he had no choice but to wave his hand and let his subordinates handle the aftermath.

As for Victoria, Caesar said he wasn't in a hurry for the time being. He believed that the other side had captured Victoria to threaten him, and as long as they hadn't achieved their goal, Victoria wouldn't be in any danger.

It was during this period that Victoria would likely suffer some hardship.

'Tsk tsk tsk, the treatment the female lead gets,' it's hard to believe!

The system wasn't mocking it; it just couldn't quite understand the story's direction. It seemed that in every mission world, as long as a male and female protagonist appeared, there would be some degree of deviation. Perhaps the previous world was more normal? But that was because the male and female protagonists and the host didn't have any conflict of interest.

Perhaps the host is this variable, influencing the future trajectory of the male and female protagonists in the novel.

'Don't worry, Victoria has thought things through. She and Caesar have a complicated history, so she won't easily follow in the footsteps of the heroine in another novel.'

The system didn't speak again, but instead ran off to watch the excitement.

Victoria has been captured, and Caesar has not yet chosen to rescue her, so Victoria's situation is not very good.

The system saw that Victoria was locked in a dark, gloomy house, with only a sealed door and no windows for ventilation.

Victoria lay on the ground in agony, her body curled up in a ball, which even made the system sympathize with the novel's heroine.

Shen Yao had no idea that the system possessed such abundant emotions. She and Vilan had already boarded the car returning to St. Tiana, with the ancient castle receding into the distance behind them.

Vilan bent down to help Shen Yao straighten her clothes. When she was startled, Vilan had draped her own coat over Shen Yao's shoulders.

Vilan's coat was so big that Shen Yao, who was so small, was completely covered up.

Left with no other choice, Vilan bent down to help roll up the cuffs and straighten the collar and shoulders. Finally, she covered herself with the clothes that had fallen to the ground as she sat down, covering the exposed skin of her lower body.

"Vilan, who won and who lost this time?" Shen Yao blinked.

"Caesar's mouth was practically stretched to his ears, which showed that he had gotten a lot of benefits."

While criticizing and belittling, Vilan never lets his old rival Caesar off the hook. This banquet was a trap set by Caesar, who walked right into it, and the fool just loved to be fooled.

Do you think you can get everything by threatening the other side just by capturing Caesar's woman? How naive!

"That Miss Doron, I'm afraid she and Caesar are only superficially on the surface but not truly on the same side."

Having been tricked into becoming a hostage by the enemy, Victoria is the only one who can survive. If she and Caesar cannot resolve their conflict, how far will it escalate?

"Miss Doron clearly wanted to join forces with us privately tonight, but unfortunately..." Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by an unexpected incident at the banquet, and in the end, she never returned.

Ugh

Is this the downside of having a halo? Everyone else can be a worthless extra or cannon fodder, but the protagonist gets all the attention and attracts hatred far beyond anyone else's ability to match.

“Since it wasn’t said outright, it’s not appropriate for us to offer help privately. However, the situation on Caesar’s side is complicated. If Miss Doron is willing to exchange information,” Shen Yao finished before Vilan could finish speaking, “we can also help her in some small ways.”

Don't underestimate the promises Vilan makes; even small favors are a lifesaver, and Victoria will definitely benefit from them.

"Let's wait for Miss Doron to return first." Victoria believes that after this battle, she will fully realize the importance of connections and abilities. Then, with the two sides working together, even if they don't cripple Caesar, they can at least make him suffer a loss.

Shen Yao leaned back against the car's soft cushions, puffing out her cheeks to indicate that she didn't know when Victoria would come out. What if Victoria softened her heart again, and all their schemes and plots were exposed before they could even be revealed to Caesar? Wouldn't all their hard work have been for nothing?

"That being said, Miss Doron is clearly not the kind of person who is not clear-headed."

Shen Yao still trusted Victoria. In this type of novel, the female protagonist always has some problems, and besides, Victoria originally didn't want to stay by Caesar's side.

However, due to unforeseen circumstances and internal turmoil within the Doron family, Victoria was forced to seek refuge with Caesar to protect herself.

However, even among the male protagonists of old-school novels, Caesar is a scumbag who is completely invisible.

Unable to resist shaking her head, Shen Yao hadn't continued when she heard Vilan use the opportunity to analyze Caesar's situation. Well, overall, it wasn't unrealistic. The seeds of trouble had been sown long ago, it just hadn't been time for them to explode yet.

Shen Yao:......

So Caesar is really that miserable? And he still dares to continue doing whatever he wants, tsk, no wonder he's born into a vampire noble family? He's really bold.

It was already late when the car returned to St. Tiana School. Vilan first took Shen Yao back to her dormitory before leaving by car himself.

The system whispered in Shen Yao's head that Vilan hadn't returned to his residence, but instead left Saint Tiana with his group of bodyguards.

'Oh, he must be trying to take advantage of Caesar's fight with that guy to see if he can snatch something away,' after all, this is a golden opportunity.

While changing clothes and washing up, Shen Yao didn't forget to urge the system not to be idle. She explained that following along would not only allow her to watch the excitement but also get firsthand intelligence: 'I'm just an ordinary person, so it's inconvenient for me to get involved. But you're different; no matter what they do, they won't find out.'

system:……

Really? Then it really needs to taste the saltiness.

This AI system is indeed a semi-finished product. It's easier to talk to than a typical system with strict rules, but it also has its own personality. At the same time, there aren't many things it can offer as rewards or trades. It has both advantages and disadvantages, and it all depends on what the host thinks.

Previous hosts clearly became increasingly incompatible with the system and eventually chose to dissipate and leave. As for Shen Yao, she seems to be showing signs of this, but due to her deliberate control, the system has not yet detected any clues.

Ugh

Shen Yao felt a little sorry for the system; why did it find so many hosts like this?

Looking down at her fair and delicate hands, Shen Yao suddenly looked out the window. For a moment, she felt as if she were surrounded by endless loneliness and desolation. The distress that she could not confide in was like a knife, cutting out a bloody reality.

Perhaps she should really consider whether these seemingly novel but constantly repetitive mission worlds truly need mission takers like her.

'Host, what are you thinking about? Why aren't you saying anything?'

Upon waking up early in the morning, before Shen Yao could even process what was happening, the system, which had been holding back for a while, couldn't help but start babbling on and on.

'Wow, wow, he really managed to snag a bargain! Not only did he get one, but Caesar also got stabbed by the female lead, hahaha, right above his heart, almost killed him!'

The system laughed very loudly, which made Shen Yao frown and want to get angry.

Shen Yao:......

Sure enough, the system is really a child who never grows up. Once it loses its reliable host, it can easily be led astray by other mission takers.

The thought that had briefly existed in her mind the previous night was completely erased by Shen Yao.

'Looks like you've had quite a haul this time. How about Vilan?' I got up, washed, and got dressed.

'He's back. He's currently deciding whether to take this opportunity to eliminate Caesar or spare his life to continue using him.'

The system suggests that it would be best to get rid of Caesar. He was betrayed by the female lead and might turn evil, which could implicate the host and be a loss for the system.

The system is genuinely worried about problems with the host, since it's so active right now because the host doesn't need to worry about it.

If it were another host who was useless at everything and needed the system's assistance at all times, the system would feel overwhelmed just by the thought of being in that situation.

Once you've tasted fine bran, you won't want to eat coarse grains anymore.

'Caesar isn't so easy to deal with. Vilan doesn't want to confront the vampire nobles, and Caesar is precisely a pawn that can be used.'

Why do I say that? As someone who has lived with Wei Lan for several years, Shen Yao can say that she knows Wei Lan pretty well.

Vilan has always disliked trouble. The nobles in the vampire world are much more difficult to deal with than ordinary nobles in the human world. The Towell family is a case in point. Every year, Vilan has to personally deal with a batch of parasites to prevent them from taking too deep a root and affecting the Towell family.

Imagine if Caesar were gone, Vilan's workload would increase several times over. Would Vilan be willing to make such a sacrifice?

That is of course impossible.

Vilan only needed to consider the two scenarios of Caesar's presence or absence to immediately dismiss the idea of ​​sending Caesar to meet God.

“Yaoyao, Caesar can’t die yet. At least for the next few years, we need him.”

Wei Lan raised her hand and touched Shen Yao's face, her voice like a lover's whisper. In reality, the two of them were not flirting at all, but talking about serious matters.

"After this battle, Caesar will probably be out of the spotlight for a while."

Not only was he injured, but his opponent also destroyed a crucial part of his forces. Even if Caesar wanted to get revenge, he would need to plan carefully before taking any action.

Tu

It has to be said that we learn from our mistakes. Even the reckless Caesar has to use his brain now, which shows that strategy is still a very important part of the game.

Caesar's side called a retreat and temporarily withdrew. Next up was Vilan, whose marriage to Shen Yao was imminent.

After Shen Yao successfully graduated from St. Tiana, Vilan took Shen Yao back to the Xins Empire.

Invitations have been sent out, and the date is set for next spring.

With only a few months left to prepare, the two had lost all interest in sightseeing and only wanted to return to the Towell family as soon as possible to settle the wedding arrangements before discussing anything else.

"absurd!"

"Vilan, you are truly rebellious!"

"..."

At this time, the Towell family was in turmoil because of Wieland's marriage.

Overall, they were all dissatisfied with the bride Vilan had married.

What use is an ordinary noblewoman who has lost both her parents and has no one to support her family (the Kane family is ignored)?!

"Is Vilan deliberately going against us?" Just like when he seized power before, Vilan was ruthless and showed them no mercy.

Right now, they also want to take this opportunity to make them submit and hand over all the power of the Tolville family, so that Vilan can lead the entire Tolville family alone.

“No, he’s not that kind of person,” Vilan’s biological father said indignantly. Compared to Vilan’s gentle public persona, this man was arrogant and mean. In particular, he looked about five-tenths like Vilan and was indiscriminate in his relationships. He had broken up with his son Vilan a long time ago.

Previously, when Vilan was not in the Sins Empire, or rather, he only returned for a short period each year, the two sides could avoid contact to prevent any unpleasant incidents from occurring.

Now that Vilan has returned directly to the Sins Empire, it is a foregone conclusion that Vilan will be the heir to the Towell family.

Therefore, Vilan's capriciousness is like stabbing them in the heart. Ask yourself, if Vilan dares to marry an ordinary orphan girl who has nothing today, will he dare to kill his own family tomorrow?

Vampires don't have much blood ties or family affection; they're mostly selfish and self-centered. Vilan's father was a typical vampire nobleman, but his abilities were too weak, so he was abandoned by his family too early and had nothing but a useless title.

Right now, it was Vilan's father who took the lead in uniting these persistent family elders in an attempt to fight against Vilan's return.
