The uncle with white beard opened his eyes wide, raised his eyebrows, and pointed at Xiao Huai's neck with curiosity.

"I smell the scent of Manager...Joseph on you."

Xiao Huai didn't say anything, her thick black eyelashes trembled slightly, and she just stared at him, motioning him to continue.

"Joseph has been missing for a long time. He used to add a special material to his favorite paint that only a few people could smell. Where did you get this red paint? It was his favorite paint."

The first thing that flashed through Xiao Huai’s mind was Lu Yuanshi’s face. He was the one who painted this mark of paint himself.

And when the Count tried to touch his neck, he seemed to be pricked by the paint.

But how did Lu Yuanshi know this...

Now there is such a deep meaning behind the paint. The white-bearded uncle looked at Xiao Huai sincerely, and he didn't seem to be lying.

But the defensive heart is indispensable.

Xiao Huai opened his thin lips slightly: "Joseph Edward, I know him. Then who are you to him?"

The uncle with white beard was slightly stunned. After all these years, he finally heard an outsider call out Mr. Joseph's full name.

Joseph Edward.

When the uncle with white beard was giving him acupuncture just now, he did not show the same respect to the earl as he did to other people, and there was even a bit of resentment in his heart.

It's just that this emotion is more difficult to detect.

The uncle with white beard lowered his head, and the air pressure suddenly dropped.

With his hands hanging down at his sides, he said helplessly, "What can I be? I am just a nobody. It was Mr. Joseph who gave me a job so that I would not wander the streets and become a homeless person.

Many years ago, the Earl's diamond factory was not mass-producing diamonds and monopolizing the market. At that time, Mr. Joseph was the general manager of the diamond factory. He was so kind and loved nature and art.

Every diamond he designed could become the hottest topic of discussion that season, but Mr. Joseph disappeared at some point and was replaced by a monster that could grow diamonds on his body.

He brainwashed everyone, even the count was blinded by greed. After that, more and more monsters were able to grow diamonds, but while gaining beauty, they also turned into bloodthirsty monsters as if they had gone mad.

But they accounted for too small a proportion after all. The count wanted more people to grow beautiful diamonds, and their blood became the best seeds.

Do you know about genetic engineering? They're tampering with human genes, causing us to constantly merge. The residents of this town have become experimental subjects, constantly combining with seeds to ensure a one-to-one replica of your abilities to the greatest extent possible."

Xiao Huai looked at the white-bearded uncle calmly. His inference was very similar to what he said, and he was not too surprised when it was confirmed.

Xiao Huai began to walk forward slowly: "You wouldn't easily tell these things to a Diamond Man. In this society, everyone is brainwashed and hates Diamond Man. Why do you think you haven't been brainwashed?"

The uncle with white beard was stunned for a moment. Xiao Huai was right. What evidence did he have to prove that he was not brainwashed and not crazy?

Just like the lunatics locked up in a mental hospital, no matter how much they claim they are not crazy, they will always be aliens and monsters in the eyes of outsiders.

Whether it is Xiao Huai or the uncle with white beard, they have different positions and no one will easily believe what the other says.

The uncle with white beard followed Xiao Huai's pace, "I know you won't believe me, just like I can't believe that the paint on your neck is Mr. Joseph's, but I am afraid that any of Mr. Joseph's friends will encounter an accident.

So, please remember what might happen next. You might see some diamonds at dinner later. Those are seeds specially made for people like you. Don't eat them. Once you eat them, you might turn into a monster.

Xiao Huai glanced at him and continued walking forward. He suddenly chuckled.

"Uncle, I want to ask you a question. You just need to answer it."

The uncle with white beard didn't expect Xiao Huai to ask him questions on his own initiative. He nodded: "You tell me, as long as I know, I will tell you honestly."

"Do you think diamonds grown from human skin are beautiful?"

A trace of greed flashed across the white-bearded uncle's eyes, but it was only a fleeting thought. He immediately shook his head and said, "No, of course it doesn't look good."

But just a moment is enough.

Xiao Huai nodded and waved: "I see, thank you for your tip."

After hearing what he said, Whitebeard stopped walking with relief.

After seeing Xiao Huai's back disappear, the uncle with white beard walked into the darkness.

There stood a beautiful woman with bright red hair - Victoria.

Victoria leaned against the wall with her arms folded, looking at the white-bearded uncle with a smile.

"Well, he should believe it."

The uncle with white beard said confidently: "From the beginning, I performed according to what the adults said. I first expressed my dissatisfaction with the Count, then expressed my admiration for Joseph, and then told him some truths about the world.

He will definitely not be able to tell the difference between true and false, and when the time comes, he will definitely follow the adults’ plan.”

Victoria rubbed her lips with her fingertips, smiled softly and talked to herself.

"I never thought someone would use Joseph's favorite paint to mark everything. The curse on it prevents ordinary pollution from invading him, but that doesn't mean he won't go crazy. It's such a clumsy and clever method. Since they can come up with such a method, don't we have to work harder? We have to put on more performances to let Xiao Huai know that he can't just come here casually."

After saying that, she slowly walked towards the restaurant.

"Xiao Huai, stay in this world. It will definitely be interesting."

A gorgeous dining table was placed in the center, the tabletop made of a piece of mirrored glass, smooth and shining like a huge gem.

A pair of exquisite silver candlesticks were placed in the center, with candles burning in the candlesticks. The candlelight danced on the mirrored glass, reflecting light and shadows.

In the dim restaurant, the candlelight and light and shadow on the mirror complement each other, but there is always a sense of eerieness.

There were already two people sitting at the dining table. The Earl was sitting at the main seat, holding a knife and fork in his hand, with a plate of exquisite steak on it.

Xiao Huai's footsteps came from outside the door. The Earl raised his eyes slightly and looked towards the door.

"Good evening." Xiao Huai's slightly cold voice echoed in the huge restaurant.

He walked straight to a seat very close to the count and sat down. When he looked up, he saw a young man with small eyes looking at him.

Xiao Huai raised the corner of his mouth slightly and smiled at him, "General Manager, nice to meet you."
