Go back in time to Italy a few hours ago.

Jean Lacroix put down the phone, waved excitedly, and called his most trusted butler.

"Master Patriarch." After the housekeeper saluted, he respectfully stood beside him, waiting for instructions.

Jean Lacroix seemed to be calming down his excitement. He rubbed his hands and adjusted the hem of his suit in an attempt to make himself look more formal.

"Go and call!" His voice was a few decibels higher than before, and he couldn't hide the slight trembling inside.

"Subordinates are dull, you mean..." The housekeeper was obviously confused by the order, and looked at the Patriarch who couldn't wait for a minute, so he obviously wouldn't give him enough time to investigate on his own All Patriarch thought, he could only ask bold questions, and he was prepared to get angry at his actions.

"No, no." To the butler's surprise, Jean Lacroix did not reprimand him for his words, but stood up and paced in front of him, as if making some difficult and important decision.

The butler saw that he didn't need to intervene at this time, so he stood aside honestly, reduced his sense of existence, and gave up the entire space to the Patriarch.

The time was much shorter than the housekeeper estimated. Within a few minutes, the man suddenly raised his head, intending to go out from the room. His steps were big and eager, and the housekeeper followed closely behind, but was suddenly stopped by the owner. He was startled by his steps. He has worked in the Lacroix family for many years and has served two generations of patriarchs. This is the first time he has seen the new patriarch's appearance of losing his composure. , at the very beginning, he did not accept the training of the heir of the family, and he was not a member of the candidates. He did not pay much attention to the glory of the Lacroix family. Even if it was his personal interests, Jean Lacroix used to be A resident of the high society will not be tempted by this huge benefit, so he will agree to this family that has eliminated him as a candidate for the head of the family, and temporarily fill the vacancy of the head of the family, which is surprising to many people. This is exactly why his behavior is far from the style of the MAFIA family, but none of his subordinates dare to raise objections.

After all, he has never accepted Lacroix's favor. If he angered him during this critical period, he has the guts to let go. This will once again bring a window of opportunity to the Lacroix family. The loss is something the family is unwilling to bear.

In particular, although Jean Lacroix's methods are not very popular, the overall strength of his subordinates is relatively high, and they are also loyal. Swept away the turmoil caused by Livia's death, and even made the Lacroix family have a tendency to cross classes and become a first-class MAFIA family. This is what they did to Jean Lacroix Turn a blind eye and close one eye, after all, the previous generation of patriarchs was also capricious. Although the previous generation was more self-willed than the previous generation, Lacroix can still afford the cost at present, and if in the future, it can really bring what they expected. In the end, this gamble was everyone's victory.

"How about my body?" The man's sudden question interrupted the butler's deep thinking.

The housekeeper looked at the Patriarch, who was almost the same as usual, and praised honestly: "You are very charming, Patriarch."

The man listened to his words and tightened the tie on the shirt, but when his hands were on the tie, he was still dissatisfied, so he called the maid who was on standby at the door and asked her to go to his bedroom to match it. A tie in a color that better matches what you're wearing.

The maid bowed to receive the order and retreated, but she didn't expect the owner to suddenly step forward and walk in front of her. After she was slightly startled, she quickly followed the housekeeper and ran to keep up.

When she came to the owner's bedroom, what she saw was the ties that had been thrown all over the bed, covering every corner of the quilt, and being piled up by hands.

She didn't know whether she should go forward to help, but she didn't dare to just watch blankly. Just as she was tiptoeing, not knowing when to go forward, the housekeeper brushed past her, took her job.

"Come and show me, which one is better?"

The man frowned, as if he had encountered a more difficult and nervous matter than receiving respected guests. He had always been a fool and had no right to do it. I wonder if it was because he had been in the fashion circle for a long time that he had acquired bad habits. There is such a serious matter to ask other people's opinions on dressing. You know, he always laughs at MAFIA as a crow who is so dark that he can't tell which family he belongs to. He doesn't have any fashion sense, for fear that others will not know that he is MAFIA It seemed that he hadn't changed his dressing style for so many years, so he couldn't feel any sense of beauty.

It was such a picky person who actually asked his subordinates for their opinions. The housekeeper couldn't help but feel terrified. He thought in his heart, what kind of important person they were going to meet later, would make the head of the house like this? Stand by.

He couldn't help but become serious, and coordinated with Jean Lacroix's every move, and finally spent an hour finalizing the whole outfit.

The lower body is black suit pants and camel suede Oxford shoes, the upper body is a white shirt with a light gray diamond tie, and a khaki suit jacket, which is quite retro.

Jean Lacroix finished tidying up and was about to go out when he finally remembered the most important thing.

"Where is the person sent by the Russo family?" His question stunned the butler. He didn't know why he asked about the whereabouts of the goods when he needed to receive important people, because this person had already arrived a few hours ago. He gave the order to dispose of those two, and he had already given the order, but at this moment, the man asked as if he had forgotten the order he had given, which made the housekeeper a little uncertain about his thoughts.

Could it be that it is needed to entertain distinguished guests later?

While thinking, he thought about how to deal with the matter in a leak-free manner. After all, the two of them may have been sent to the laboratory now, and he wondered if it was too late for them to be transported back.

The man didn't realize what he was thinking, and the housekeeper didn't make him wait. He just wanted to say that they were still on the way, but they could come back soon. The man seemed eager to wait for a minute, and walked around He walked out and confirmed as he walked: "It's in the storage room on the second floor, right?"

Seeing his actions, the butler couldn't help but thump in his heart, because he had already seen where the owner's destination was. Although he had originally given the order, if the owner arrived in the room, he didn't see the person he wanted to see. If there is something wrong, it will still be blamed on him.

He didn't confess, but thought, maybe Leo's hands and feet are slower, maybe it hasn't had time to transport them out of the mansion.

But this is also his self-consolation. After all, according to his understanding of Leo, that person's execution ability is definitely one of the best. As long as it is an ordered task, no matter how difficult it is, it can be completed quickly and beautifully, not to mention It is this kind of command without technical content.

However, the butler is still secretly weighing in his heart. If the Patriarch blames him for a while, how will he put the responsibility on Leo's head? Of course he will not feel guilty, because according to the status of the two of them, Leo is the red in front of the Patriarch. People, command and dispatch in all aspects are inseparable from him. Even if you do something wrong and attract the anger of the Patriarch, it is only a temporary punishment. Ou Lai is in charge of the overall situation, and Jean Lacroix, who does not understand MAFIA, has no way to leave his ability.

But he is different. He is old. If he had not served the mansion for more than half his life, he would know a lot about the transfer of personnel and family secrets. Jean Lacroix, who is unwilling to follow the rules of MAFIA The half-baked man doesn't want to talk about friendship, and he has been asked to go back to take care of him long ago.

Since the treatment of the two people will be so different, it is natural that the person with the least price should bear the responsibility.

The housekeeper didn't have any thoughts of being ashamed of Leo.

In this way, the two walked to the place where the teenagers were first detained.

According to Jean Lacroix's identity, the butler should have opened the door for him, and then he went in, but Jean's eagerness was too abnormal. Stepping in, this made the protector behind him pay more vigilant attention to the surroundings, for fear of making any mistakes.

Leo's assistant, who was left in this room after carefully looking at the inspection reports from all aspects, drew his gun to be on guard the moment the door was suddenly opened without warning, and then put away the weapon the moment he saw someone coming. All right, bow and salute.

"My lord."

"My lord."

The man raised his hand to signal them to be quiet, and then slowly looked towards the place where a figure was lying.

The butler watched the man straighten his cuff unnaturally with one hand, and then walked forward cautiously. His movements were very light, and the sound of shoes stepping on the floor was suppressed to the extreme. This room was originally used for temporary storage of goods. For the sake of effect, the floor was not covered with expensive and comfortable carpets like other rooms, so it was obvious that the boy with his back facing him would not be comfortable lying down.

Jean Lacroix did not rush to order the boy to be moved to another room where guests were received, nor did he order the boy to be sent directly to his own room, but came to pick him up in person.

This made the butler start to think in his heart whether something happened that he didn't know, which caused the head of the house to change his attitude 180 degrees, and treated the experimental product that was not life or death, so cautious, but when he saw that the person was still in the room When he was in the house, he was also relieved. Although he had already thought about how to shirk responsibility, no one is a fool, let alone Leo, who can get to the position of the Patriarch's confidant. Ou Hui shouldered the responsibility all by himself, so that he couldn't get involved, but if he could not offend that person, it would be the best.

The two assistants here are also puzzled by the actions of the Patriarch. If it wasn't for their direct superior, Leo, who still didn't give orders, they wouldn't have stayed here without taking any action, whether it was sending the boy to the laboratory or not. , and then go to deal with the diplomatic relations of the Lacroix family, Mr. Leo has no instructions at all.

I hugged the man and left gracefully, leaving the two of them here to stare blankly, and didn't dare to disturb the adult's two-person world. After all, since they followed Lord Leo until now, the adult has always been single, although he was surprised that the adult would be so fast. Just sparked the spark of love, and even took the person away regardless of the other boy's wishes. It was completely different from the usual attitude towards the men and women who posted it. It was hard to see that the man whose words were full of irony and dissatisfaction, instead He is an action guy who likes to play games like grabbing and looting.

However, they also understand that after holding it in for so long, it is normal for them to be unable to control themselves once they start eating meat. They also wondered how long it would take to remember that they were still waiting here according to Lord Leo's physical condition. The owner of the house came.

Jerke is Leo's first assistant. Basically, all the important documents in Leo's hands, except those sent by the Patriarch in person, have to go through his hands. One can imagine his status in this family. It's just that compared to Jean Lacroix, who is eccentric, looks down on his subordinates but can't handle anything well, only knows that he depends on Mr. Leo, and Jerke, who is only interested in salary, only has bosses who really have The ability is nothing more than Master Leo who lives in the rear and strategizes.

He had only a superficial respect for Jean Lacroix, so after he was surprised, he just watched the Patriarch's actions with cold eyes, and considered the purpose of their trip in his heart.

Just as the minds of several people were spinning rapidly, Jean Lacroix had just taken a few steps forward when he realized that the figure he was thinking about was not within his sight.

"Where are people?!" Like an offended jackal, he suddenly looked back and bowed his head to salute, so far he has not looked at his assistant.

Hearing his angry questioning, Jerke's mind turned around, and he guessed the purpose of his trip. Originally, there were only two people in this room besides himself and his assistant. Since it wasn't the black skin, it will only be the one that Lord Leo took away.

But he looked at the look of the Patriarch when he came in just now, it didn't look like he came to choose the test items in person because of the progress of the experiment. For a moment, Jerk decided to leave the matter to Lord Leo: "The blonde one has been taken away by Lord Leo."

He knew the patriarch's stubbornness towards the blond-haired boy, and he vaguely guessed his purpose in his heart. He sighed in his heart. If it was really what he thought, maybe he wouldn't have to be so aggrieved to serve this everything I don't know, but I like to point fingers halfway. After all, Mr. Leo is a blossoming iron tree. They didn't even dare to look at the corner of the man's clothes that were messed up by the delivery process. Compared with their knowledge and interest, it is obvious. The head of the family who has evil intentions may really think that he is the king of this family.

Seeing the figure of the Patriarch leaving in a hurry, Jerk felt that he didn't have to worry about the salary issue anymore. If Lord Leo was in charge, he would definitely not be in arrears of salary again.

He turned around and saw the excited little assistant behind him, who wished to watch the show in person, sighed again, it was very tiring to lead a newcomer, next time he will apply for a salary increase with Mr. Leo.

……

When Jean Lacroix asked the above sentence, he knew who the owner of the house was here for. While he was surprised, he also began to recall the fate with that boy. Unfortunately, Leo at that time would He covered it tightly, and in the short contact, he only remembered the man's blond hair.

But for so many years, he had seen countless blond boys, so he didn't pay much attention at that time, but he didn't want to know what kind of face he had, which could win the favor of the Patriarch after attracting Leo's protection.

……

When Liu Daokuo heard the very subtle and purposeful footsteps coming towards him, he withdrew his hand from stroking the boy's hair, and his eyes that were originally warm, restored him the moment he turned his gaze away. With the usual coldness and sarcasm, he used illusion to disguise his face, but he didn't stand up to greet the Patriarch as he pretended to be.

"Leo!" Without even knocking on the door, Jean Lacroix pushed the door in rudely and impolitely, as if he was entering no one's land. I don't know if it was because he didn't respect his subordinates at all. At the other end of the scale, he was still so eager to see the boy that he even forgot the basic etiquette.

The man who came in had a wrong look, and then crossed Liu Dao Mukui's face, and then saw the blond boy sleeping peacefully on the bed. Because of his extremely tired body and the fact that the medicine in his body had not been completely metabolized, the boy fell asleep. He was very familiar, even the sound of his sudden intrusion did not wake him up.

The man's hands trembled with excitement. He hurried forward and went straight to the boy's bed, but he didn't want to be stopped on the spot by the trident that suddenly appeared when he was two meters away from the boy.

The sharp head shone with an ominous blue light. Even though it was the first time he had seen this type of weapon, Jean Lacroix felt its chilly temperature. He stopped walking with a dissatisfied expression on his face. The subordinate committed the following offense with a sullen look.

"Leo, what are you doing?!"

At the moment when the weapon came into view, not only Jean Lacroix himself, but even the butler, who was standing behind a lot, felt the temperature drop in the room. He looked at Leo without blinking, feeling The suspicion and fear that had always existed in the face were all aimed at Leo.

The butler raised his voice and scolded, "Hurry up and put away your weapons!"

As he spoke, his right hand quietly pressed the cuff button of the left cuff at the same time. There is an emergency call device inside. In less than a minute, the bodyguards of the entire mansion will come with weapons in hand. When the time comes, Leo wants to Doing anything is more difficult than ascending to the sky.

The housekeeper was sure in his heart that Leo would not dare to hurt the Patriarch. After all, he became a sinner of the family, and how painful the pursuit would be after that. Presumably, Leo, who had dealt with so many traitors, would not fail to understand. Thinking that this was just a small competition for a test product, Leo, who had never shown a preference, finally found something he was interested in, and it was understandable that he didn't want to let it go, but he boldly went to grab something that belonged to him. The owner's things, this is his sin.

The housekeeper was not worried. After all, he knew the outcome of this matter very well. The test product would eventually belong to the owner, and the fact that Leo pointed the weapon in his hand at the owner was enough for him to go to the punishment room to drink a pot , if he was not of great value, his real destination would be to be executed on the spot.

"Kufufufu, someone is rushing to die, I have to fulfill it."

Jean Lacroix's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that it was his serious, hard-working subordinate who made such a weird laugh.

And Leo's eyes that suddenly changed color also showed that his hearing was not hallucinating.

"Who are you?! Where's Leo?!" Jean Lacroix thought his subordinates had been dropped, and scolded loudly while looking around vigilantly, but apart from the people in front of him, there was no one No one else showed up.

"Listen, I don't care who you are or what you want to do here, I can let you go." After finding out that the person in front of him had no accomplices, he seemed to become more courageous. , once again set his eyes on the young man lying on the bed, and his greedy and salivating eyes naturally couldn't escape Liu Dao Mu's eyes.

"Kufufufu, I wanted to keep you for a while. After all, there are still some things you need to deal with. Now it seems that I am merciful."

His eyes were cold, like ice cubes in an extremely cold place, and the person being watched seemed to be corroded by this cold gaze, and felt cold all over his body.

"What do you mean by that?" A strong sense of crisis swept through the man's body. Before he could take back his gaze from the young man, he was captured by a force that came from nowhere. He seemed to be wrapped in layers , but couldn't see anything. He raised his head with all his strength, but what he bumped into was a blood-stained pupil. After the number inside changed rapidly, it stayed on the number 'three'. Before he could ask questions, he heard a wail from behind him. The voice was very familiar. He had spoken to the owner of the voice just now, but at this moment the steward seemed to be greatly frightened, and his tone changed completely. He turned to look at the voice. What happened, I saw a ferocious giant snake with the tip of its tail thicker than his waist wrapping around the steward's body, he could even see the gradually tightening force, so powerful that it seemed to be able to cut a big man in half.

He also screamed, although he didn't know where this horrible beast came from, but he had an intuition that it was definitely related to this man pretending to be Leo who didn't know where he came from.

"I was wrong! I was wrong!" When his life was threatened, the desire to survive still took the lead. Although he didn't know the purpose of this man or where he caused the other party's dissatisfaction, he was still tearful. Constantly apologizing.

Liudao Mukuro looked at his embarrassed look, as if he couldn't wait to open his screen to show his charm, the bright clothes that he changed specially to meet someone were crumpled and stained with stains. His tears were more than snot, and his heart felt much more relaxed.

He laughed before beginning to sentence the man.

"Covet someone who shouldn't be coveted, Lacroix, your elders are stupid, but you are better."

"I was wrong! I shouldn't—"

His face was covered with tears, but he couldn't free his hands to wipe it off, because his limbs were tightly bound by this terrible snake, and there was no room for him to move. What he was facing was a blood basin spit out letters Dakou, he doesn't know what he did wrong, he never felt that he did something wrong, but in a situation where life and death are at stake, he can only apologize incoherently, hoping that the other party can see that he is obedient and admits his mistakes, and forgive him. own life.

Perhaps having admired his embarrassment enough, Liudao Mu finally raised the corners of his mouth happily.

In the end, what remained in Jean Lacroix's eyes were blood red eyes and severe pain all over his body. He didn't even have the chance to see the boy on the bed for the last time, and his ambition stayed at the moment when he was closest to this person.

"Go to hell and make amends."

The devil who once stood behind Jean Lacroix, showing his fangs when he was looking at the portrait unconsciously, is finally using up most of his value, and after he puts his own little After tolerance and patience were exhausted, this belated trial came with my own hands.
