all blood

In the abandoned manor, the sound of the wind was mixed with whimpers, like the prelude to the tragedy of the undead.

Listening carefully, the sound came from underground, but it was much higher than hell, and it was in an old wine cellar.

The stored wine has long been shipped out, leaving only splinters and cobwebs. In the darkness, a man was tied to a chair. His head was covered with a sackcloth. Except for the occasional swaying of his neck, all other parts were intact. Can't move.

The man kept whimpering, as if he was begging for help, as if he was confessing, or maybe he was cursing, but his mouth was gagged.

Suddenly, the man's neck stiffened, and he noticed something abnormal around him, wind noise?Footsteps?bright?It seems that there are all these.Then the burlap was roughly pulled off, and he suddenly opened his protruding eyes to meet the faint candlelight.

The image changed from blurred to clear, and the flickering candlelight outlined a circle of gold on the face of the approaching person.

"Lucar, I was really hurt by you. I leaked my design draft to competitors, and you ran away without a trace. Philip's new backer is so strong. I really can't do anything. But you leave Did you ever think that you would be caught back?" Ive held up the candle, and the candle liquid dripped on his pale skin, and the hot man screamed.

"Mmmmm!!" His eyelids were stretched so wide that the eyeballs were about to flow out.

Yves grabbed the tape on his mouth and yanked it off in the other direction. The man let out a cry and threw the tape on the ground.

"Y, Yves!!" The man shouted, he was trembling all over his body as if he had been shocked by an electric shock. It seems that Red taught him a lesson before. It is said that demon hunters are very good at abusing vampires, although Red didn't have the slightest penchant for abuse, but he probably knew quite a few tricks.

"Wow, my men's shots are really heavy. You should be glad that you are not a fragile human being to save your life." Eve smiled.

Lukal was like a frightened bird, observing his surroundings tremblingly, and he was slightly relieved when he found that Yves was alone.

"Yves! If you make me testify, they'll kill me!" he wailed, pitifully.

"My old colleague, I'm afraid that if you don't testify for me, tomorrow you will be thrown on the asphalt road and reduced to ashes, contributing to greening."

"Yves! Please! I was tempted by the devil for a while, and I was blinded by the fire of jealousy. They said they just wanted to see our theme and progress, but they plagiarized so thoroughly!"

Ive scratched the tip of his nose, "After receiving so many benefits, why didn't you expect the total value to be more than just leaking secrets? Also, you changed all your identities and escaped, so you are also prepared?" Ive They used Lucar's false identity to find a huge deposit, enough for him to stop dealing with design for the rest of his life.

"You are doing this, as if I have treated you badly." Eve sarcastically, "We have been working together for 40 years, if you don't want to continue, just get together and break up, and I will give you a good fortune." Small 'breakup fee', although not as exaggerated by those people, but at least the money is clean. With the stupid things you do now, you will never touch the design again in your life."

The wine cellar is cold and damp, and has been abandoned for many years and has become dilapidated. Occasionally, there is a musty smell, and the smell of animal corpses wafts through.Lucar's face is flat, his eyes are protruding, like a mass-market puppet, only when Ive mentioned that he will never be able to engage in design work in the future, there are signs of the existence of a soul in his eyes.

"It doesn't matter, I don't want to do it anymore, I don't want to do it anymore." He said firmly, but there was liquid gushing out from his protruding eyeballs, leaving streaks of water.

"I hate you Yves..."

"You let me see the thing of 'talent' clearly. I have to face the gap between my limit and you every day. Even if I see the gap, I can't do it at all; The longer I hold it, the more I understand that time, a thing raised by a wolf mother, can't solve any problems at all!"

Lukaal's whimper sounded like the howling of a mourning dog, which had long since lost its owner and was no longer under its control.The candlelight casts Yves' shadow on the wall. He is not arrogant, but more like a thinker.The partners who were originally on the same road have already parted ways and are getting farther and farther away. Perhaps Lucar's more and more inferiority complex is at work. Self-denial makes him have no courage to take on new challenges, and he would rather choose to go to extremes.

"You chose the road, and you can't blame others." Ive blew out the candle, a sharp light flashed from his waist, and the tip of the knife went straight to his heart.

The man seemed to be in an ice cellar, his teeth were chattering and ringing non-stop.

"No! I don't want to die! Help!!"

The knife pointed at him and slashed towards him. The man really struggled painfully before death, but immediately he realized that there was no metal object inserted into the core, and he was still alive.

Yves didn't bother to look at him directly, thinking to himself, don't court death if you are afraid of death.There was a cut in the rope binding Lukaal, and only one point was barely connected.Eve put away the knife, got up and patted the dust on his pants, and sneezed.

"You... won't you kill me? Yves!" Lucar was stunned.

"It's useless to kill you. Are you saying I'm trying to trick you, or is it your money?" Ive folded his arms across his chest, "The rope is loose, you can break free in an hour or two , but whether you can run away is up to you. Also, I donated your unclean money to help you purify it, so you can save a few layers of hell in the future."

"You don't have to thank me, this is what I should do."

After speaking, Yves picked up the candlestick and walked towards the door with heavy steps like a night watchman without looking back.

……

Red was waiting for him outside, clutching a body bag in case he needed it, and Yves came out and saw him looking like a 'slayer', and hummed angrily: "Please, I only produce coffins, no Makers of corpses."

Eve threw a black box the size of a matchbox, Reid stepped forward to catch it, and asked, "He said everything?"

"It's basically said, go back and listen to the tape recorder."

"What should I do with that man?" Reid brought a real guy here today, and adding some fertilizer to the green belt tomorrow is not a casual talk.

"Okay, this is the end of the matter, I let him go." Eve said lightly.

……

Since it was Yves' decision, Reid did not comment, and opened the car door for him according to etiquette.

"Do you think it's cheap for him?" Ive sat on the seat.

Red nodded, then started the car,

"I think the matter will definitely be exposed. Thinking of his future life, it's too pitiful. Philip may kill him, and he will have to hide for the rest of his life." Ive looked at his watch, there was plenty of time, " Shall we go to Sleepy Hollow for a drink or two?"

Reid sighed: "My sir, the new product launch conference is about to be held. In order to block the news during this period, let's not appear in public. This is Neil's order."

"When did you two start wearing a pair of pants?" Eve was shocked, and Red listened to Neil's words!

Reid smiled, as long as it is for Yves' benefit, it doesn't matter who he wears a pair of pants with.

*********

The new product release conference of the fashion coffin brand 'Hot Kiss' has been delayed again and again, and finally presented to the public.

This time they changed their high-profile style, played mysterious, tight-lipped, and did not make a clear response to the theme of the new product. Many media broke out, "This is a mystification that is no longer in the past", and some media said, "Yves ·Acate is worth waiting for”, the most authoritative blood daily said, “Products are the last word, see you at the press conference”.

The new product launch event of 'Hot Kiss' was held at the same place as its competitors, which was decided by Yves himself, and it was difficult not to compare the two products.

He wore a set of custom-made PRADA men's clothing, a gray-black suit, a black high-necked shirt, and a blue silk scarf with gradient patterns. It was hidden inside the suit, showing moderate corners, and the length just reached the waist .Yves himself is the soul of 'Hot Kiss', and he was frantically sought after by the media as soon as he showed up.

Reid acted as a bodyguard. He stopped the unruly fanatical media and escorted Eve to the stage.

"Keep smiling, Red." Eve pinched the left side of Red's face, "You look like you're attending a memorial service, although what I'm selling is indeed a coffin, right?"

Reid squeezed out a smile helplessly, but he was really handsome when he smiled.

"My vision is really good." Eve said to himself.

"No one can boast of himself." Reid poured cold water on it.

"I'm not talking about myself, I'm saying you're good-looking." Eve raised his eyebrows, "Then I got there first."

"..." Reid was still not very good at catering to Yves teasing him, and was immediately at a loss for words. He tried to divert his attention and saw two people walking towards them.

"Did we bother you?" Charles walked up, followed by Hugo, who seemed to have just met.

"Your presence will definitely make the press conference full of glory." Ive praised.

"Mr. Ackat, your dress really fascinates me." Charles spread his arms, and his blond hair floated behind him spontaneously, "You see, my housekeeper always likes to dress me retro, so that I can hardly see anything other than black." s color."

"It's a trivial matter, I am willing to help you at any time." Yves bowed and saluted.

Charles looked around and saw that the media had basically entered the venue, so he asked, "I heard how many media outlets from the human world did you invite?"

"Yes, I am very grateful for the active coordination of the Demon Blood Faction Embassy." Ive knew that Charles must have given them the green light if many things related to the human world could be successfully handled this time.

They exchanged some pleasantries, and Charles entered the room first. He was in a good mood and seemed to be looking forward to the press conference. As for Hugo, he deliberately kept a little distance from Ive, and he was no longer the way he used to be.

"Mr. Hugo, I don't know how to express my gratitude." Yves respectfully gave him the highest etiquette of the blood race.

"You don't have to be polite, Mr. Arkart is a very good partner, that's enough." Hugo even changed his address, since I saw Yves and Red talking very intimately, He also seemed to understand.

They walked into the venue together, the phone rang on the way, and the press conference was about to start, who is so blind!Yves hung his fingers on the refusal, but he hesitated again when he saw the contact's profile picture, a small yellow profile picture bouncing around, it was Bu Nana.

He gestured to answer the phone and stopped in the corner.

After listening to the content of the phone call, the host had already started the opening speech. Yves returned to the VIP seat. Hugo asked him why he was in such a hurry.

"Good news, I can't wait to announce it."
