Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Chapter 764 Cannon Fodder in a Western Fantasy World (24)

As soon as her adoptive father got into trouble, the news was delivered to Vilan.

Oh

That's not quite right. It's more like many people were paying attention to Vilan's adoptive father, just waiting for him to get into trouble so they could naturally pass the news to Vilan. They also made sure to thoroughly investigate who Vilan's father had targeted, which seemed a bit like they were trying to curry favor.

Vilan: ...

Vilan helplessly raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. To be honest, he was absolutely fed up with these overthinking people. No matter what he did, they liked to speculate and guess, thinking that Vilan was so difficult to please and that they wished their biological father were dead.

Whether her adoptive father lived or died was of no significance to Vilan.

Vilan had long regarded his adoptive father as a stranger despite their blood relation, and he would not be affected by whether the other party was alive or dead.

Seeing this... he shook his head helplessly and called over the butler waiting outside the door. "Go and handle it. If he did something wrong, he deserves to die. If there are other conspiracies involved, then seek justice for him." After all, he has already turned into a pile of sand, and even if Vilan wanted to make amends, he couldn't.

The system next door, hearing Vilan's handling of the situation, said somewhat strangely, "Host, this is different from what you said. Vilan actually has his own ideas, and he didn't just slap the hand back without distinguishing right from wrong."

Shen Yao:......

"I suggest you go with the butler to see what's going on. Do you think the one who would dare to do this, and appear on the periphery of the Towell family's influence, is the real victim?" Don't joke around.

Vilan's adoptive father was just a spoiled nobleman, not a fool. Why would he provoke those obviously unapproachable forces?

You should know that the reason why Vilan's adoptive father has been able to live a comfortable and easy life is because he chooses his targets to be ordinary people or creatures who are easy to deal with and have no powerful background or backing. If anyone has any ability, Vilan's father has to rely on the Tovil family for help. It is also because of this that Vilan's father chose to stay in the family in the second half of his life instead of going out to wander and cause trouble.

system:……

'But...'

Vilan's father went out now, and then suddenly he was gone.

"So why don't you go and see for yourself? If nothing unexpected happens, Vilan should be able to use this opportunity to expose some unstable elements."

As soon as Shen Yao finished speaking, she heard a sound coming from the tightly closed door.

Vilan stood at the door, smiling as she pushed it open, and waved to Shen Yao, who was sitting on the sofa.

"The servant said the wedding banquet guest list has been prepared. We have nothing to do right now, so let's go take a look."

"OK"

Shen Yao smiled and walked to Wei Lan's side, raising her hand to take Wei Lan's arm.

The two strolled leisurely down the carpeted corridor. Shen Yao talked about the wedding dresses and accessories she had tried on a few days ago. Regarding the wedding decorations, the servants had recently given her many options to choose from.

Vilan has always had only one requirement in this regard: that the characteristics of the Towell family be reflected, while everything else is entirely up to Shen Yao's preferences.

After all, the wedding wasn't really for the two of them, and Vilan felt guilty, so he was very forgiving.

"Vilan?"

Shen Yao tilted her head and, as Wei Lan looked over, raised her hand to touch his cheek.

The warm touch made Vilan subconsciously look up and press his palm against the other person's, his eyes slightly lowered, revealing a rarely seen bad mood.

"Yaoyao, I can't quite put my finger on it."

He couldn't tell whether his emotions were good or bad, but he was certain that he didn't care about his adoptive father; otherwise, he wouldn't have watched his adoptive father die.

After all, no one understood better than Vilan what it meant to throw a good-for-nothing out of the Tolville family at this time.

But he drove him away without hesitation, and even those around him knew not to disturb him before his adoptive father died.

Is it because of that poor woman whose memory has faded to the point of being blurry?

Vilan felt a little lost. He didn't really remember his biological mother. He had been cared for since birth, and neither his father nor his mother played a significant role in his life.

However, the early death of her biological mother and the absurd behavior of her adoptive father have indeed shaped Wei Lan's current personality. It is only because Shen Yao can understand Wei Lan that she can understand him. Others would not want to marry and live with Wei Lan.

"If you're in a bad mood, don't overthink it. We have a long time ahead of us."

Vilan, some things, once they're over, are simply over.

It cannot be ignored, nor can one pretend that it never happened. Just as the pain caused can still cause phantom pain, Vilan's childhood experiences were truly terrible, but it was Vilan's own resilience that allowed him to endure it all on his own.

Otherwise, the heirs of the Towell family would probably be arguing for three days and three nights before a winner is decided.

Such a large family is full of scheming individuals. The emergence of Vilan has, to some extent, prevented the Towell family from being harmed by internal strife, because they have no shortage of capable leaders.

The exceptionally capable leader, Viran: ...

Vilan suddenly sighed, and his eyes curved into crescents again. They were truly beautiful emerald green pupils, like pools of clear spring water.

Shen Yao and Wei Lan stared at each other until Wei Lan slowly let go of her hand, and then the two of them continued forward.

The wedding banquet guest list was displayed in the lobby on the first floor, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows and crystal chandeliers overhead, surrounded by beautiful oil paintings.

Every time Shen Yao went downstairs, she felt like she was in a museum with special collection value. Wow, is this what vampire nobility is like? They are really low-key, luxurious and sophisticated.

"My lord, my lady"

The servants have changed their way of addressing her. Shen Yao initially disliked this, but after hearing it enough times, she has become accustomed to it.

"The list is all here?"

Vilan asked a question, then picked up one of the portions and handed it to Shen Yao.

The list mainly includes Saint Tiana's network of contacts, some of whom are Vilan's classmates and friends, some of whom are Shen Yao's classmates and friends, and some of whom are teachers and board members of the school. They are all on the list, and their approximate arrival time and various arrangements are also marked around them.

After glancing at it and finding nothing missing, Shen Yao was about to put it down when she unexpectedly discovered Phil's name in the corner.

Phil?

It's been a long time. Is this person still alive after being expelled by Vilan?

"She became a vampire hunter and is currently hunting vampires for the Hunter Association. She is already a senior hunter in the association and has been highly valued by the higher-ups."

After finishing speaking, Vilan winked and casually mentioned Victoria, the hunter who was entangled with Caesar; the two had some history.

origin?

Because of the dead young hunter and Lisa?

Shen Yao's mind instantly conjured up the reason for her first visit to the Xinsi Empire, as well as the matter of Caesar.

"Although I also dislike Caesar, it's not this one."

The two women are cousins; Phil's mother comes from the Dorren family.

Miss Doron and Phil are cousins, and they'll probably meet at the wedding. I wonder if this seasoned hunter, who hates evil, will be willing to kill his own cousin.

Phil has killed quite a few vampires over the years, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to rise so quickly.

Before Victoria was captured by Caesar and the two became entangled, she was also an excellent vampire hunter. However, because of Caesar, Victoria had been expelled from the Doron family.

Oh

The statement about being expelled is not entirely accurate. It was the Dorren family that warned Victoria not to consider them if she encountered them, saying that those who betray their surname and oath and betray their family deserve to die!

"Killing relatives out of righteousness?"

Shen Yao put down the wedding banquet list in her hand and said that Phil had survived many years of training and become a senior hunter, so he shouldn't act so impulsively, but Caesar might deliberately provoke her.

After all, Caesar and Victoria have a love-hate relationship; they are ruthless when they stab each other, yet it's really hard for them to kill each other.

In fact, Shen Yao didn't quite understand the meaning of these novel plots. They completely deviated from the original core. Perhaps this was just how these kinds of novels were written. Just like the love story between that werewolf and an ordinary girl, it was still impossible to avoid the predictable clichés.

"Perhaps, join forces against the enemy?" That's not necessarily true; who knows what women are thinking?

"Phil, aren't you being too impulsive?" Victoria never expected her cousin, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, to suddenly appear in front of her, especially with that familiar outfit—a hunter?

"Cousin, it wasn't me who acted impulsively, it was you," who dared to risk death at any moment to stay by the side of a vampire noble.

Victoria's face turned cold as she pulled Phil away. She was being watched all around her. Caesar claimed to love her, but he had never truly trusted her. "Hurry up," she said. "If you're discovered by them, you won't be able to hold on."

Phil gently waved away Victoria, who was pulling him by the wrist to leave, indicating that she hadn't come simply to catch up, and besides, there was no need to say that she couldn't hold on; the Hunter Association's information wasn't just for show.

Victoria: ...

"Phil, what exactly are you trying to do?"

"I just wanted to do a business deal with my cousin, but she's become much more timid."

"..."

In the end, Phil left, but the moment he left, Caesar appeared behind Victoria like a ghost.

Victoria: ...

"What's going on? People from the Hunter Association are here. Won't you invite them in and have a seat?"

Since they were still colleagues, Caesar put his hand on Victoria's shoulder and leaned his whole face closer.

Suppressing the urge to curse, Victoria said that what the other party said was nothing but wishful thinking, that the Hunter Association was no match for Caesar, and that she would not seek her own death.

“Yes, it’s obvious, isn’t it?” Caesar curled his lips, revealing his outstanding appearance that was hard to conceal even in the darkness of the night. “Darling, don’t disappoint me! The knife you stabbed me with back then still hurts.”

Victoria: ...She still feels the pain from the beating the other party gave her back back then!

They each had their own agendas, yet appeared to be inseparable in front of others. That's what you call the protagonist's halo in novels; if it were an ordinary person, they would have been locked in a life-or-death struggle long ago.

Shen Yao was unaware of the past grievances between Victoria and Caesar, and even less aware that Phil, who had only mentioned it casually, would actually find Victoria.

Shen Yao is currently preparing for the upcoming wedding. Although there are butlers and servants to carry out the arrangements, both Shen Yao and Wei Lan need to agree on the details.

The butler whom Vilan had previously instructed to go out once returned covered in blood.

The butler dealt with all the treacherous individuals from the Towell family who were exposed, leaving Vilan with no problems to solve.

"Well done, go down and rest."

Vilan waved his hand, then got up and walked from behind the table to the window.

The open window brought in a cool breeze, and the air was filled with a strange fragrance—the scent of flowers blooming in the surrounding garden.

The climate of the Sins Empire is pleasant all year round, unlike the distinct seasons of Saint Tiana.

Moreover, the Towell family chose to live near the city center of the Sins Empire, and they are a very powerful and established noble family. Not to mention that the land here is extremely valuable, just being able to settle down and live here is something many people dream of.

blah-

He raised his hand and knocked on the window. Suddenly, he uttered a whisper that was difficult to understand. A fleeting shadow outside proved that he wasn't just talking to himself, but what exactly he did remained a mystery.

'System, you seem to be paying a lot of attention to Vilan?' Shen Yao raised her eyebrows, thinking to herself that she had only taken a nap, and the system had already turned its attention to Vilan again, which showed how important Vilan was to it.

'Host, he is our support.' At least until the host gives birth to the child, Vilan cannot be allowed to get into trouble.

After all, with Vilan's abilities and skills, if they put in the effort, they might be able to raise an identical heir. At that time, the huge Towell family would be theirs for the taking, and they could get the reward without lifting a finger.

Shen Yao:......

Without the system needing to elaborate, Shen Yao already knew what the system was thinking. Artificial intelligence doesn't understand demonstrations at all; it says whatever comes to mind, and there's no point in scrutinizing it.

Raising her hand to rub her slightly throbbing temples, Shen Yao had the system keep an eye on people for her when it was bored, because the wedding in half a month could not have any mishaps.

What could possibly go wrong? Surely no one can stage a wedding-crashing operation on the spot.

This is impossible, because neither of them has any prior romantic experience, and given Vilan's status and race, it's unlikely that anyone else would have such thoughts.

However, besides this, Shen Yao was also worried that with too many guests, the accumulated conflicts between the two sides could easily erupt, and if provoked by other forces, they might break out without considering the occasion or the environment.

System: ...Really?

"Of course, the probability is still quite high; it's not like we haven't seen the wedding guest list."

It involves most of the powerful and wealthy people on the entire continent, and even werewolves who are at odds with vampires. Shen Yao really couldn't imagine what would happen if these creatures got together to attend the wedding.

Whether they dared to dream of it or not, as the wedding approached and the guests arrived, this highly anticipated wedding was held within the Towell family.
