Twilight you are my light

Accompanied by Felix, Caius and Ahinodora left the lively dance party. Originally, Ahinodora thought they would go to the study where Aro and the others usually worked, but the direction of their progress indicated that they were going to a Go in an unfamiliar direction.

After turning several corners, they finally stopped in front of a rather solemn gate.Felix opened the door for them, and behind the door was a spacious small hall with classical decoration.The brown wall panels are carved with elegant patterns, and the soaring ceiling seems so far away, but the most interesting thing is the huge round table in the center of the hall.

When the three of them opened the door and entered, someone was already talking in the room.

"Father, mother."

Hillier spotted the three people at the door with sharp eyes. He left Ah Luo who was chattering aside, and walked straight towards Ahinodora with a calm pace.His body carried the vigor of a young man, and his handsome face was beginning to show.

"Oh Hillier, my little baby!" Ahinodora couldn't wait to hug Hillier tightly, and she was surprised that the child she held in her arms before was faintly taller than her, "Mom misses you so much .”

"...I miss you too" Hillier whispered shyly in Ahinodora's arms for a long time.He was imprisoned in Ahinodora's arms and couldn't break free, and he was a little embarrassed to act like a baby to Ahinodora in full view.

Ahinodora saw her son's embarrassment, and although she felt a little bit reluctant, she still took Hillier's face into consideration, so she let him go with a smile on her face.

"You've grown up, my little man." She patted Hillier's upright back lightly, in her heart she was delighted at the maturity of her child, but at the same time regretted that she had missed Hillier's growth.

Hillier obviously saw Ahinodora's loss, he held Ahinodora's hand thoughtfully, and showed her a silly smile.This move made Ahinodora couldn't help pinching Hillier's cheek, but it was a pity that the feeling was not as good as before.

"I think you should miss me more." Caius stuck behind Ahinodora abruptly, and asked Ahinodora in a low voice.

I don't know if Caius was too close, but Ahinodora keenly caught the breath of Caius behind him.Even though the two have been in the same boat for thousands of years, when she heard Caius' murmur, subconsciously, she would still get goosebumps on her back.

"There is no doubt about it." Yahinodora immediately replied wittily, with a hint of soft-hearted fawning in her sweet smile.

"Then please prove it to me later." Caius snorted in satisfaction, and ambiguously left a sentence in Ahinodora's ear, and then he straightened up again and pretended nothing happened, leaving only Yashinodora behind. Shinodora blushed on the spot.

"Dear Ahinodora, I'm so glad you're safe and sound." There was a concerned smile on Ah Luo's face, but his eyes were full of probing and curiosity, and he glanced at the family calmly. Three mouths, jokingly said: "Amazing miracles always happen to you."

"I agree with you very much this time, Luo." Caius nodded from the bottom of his heart, which made the smile on Luo's face even bigger.

"I think it's because I was lucky enough to be favored by God." Ahinodora said meaningfully.

"Of course, your respect for the gods has always impressed me." Aro didn't hear what Ahinodora meant, and he took Ahinodora's words appropriately, "The dinner party is almost over , but our long night has just begun. This year's round table, I hope you will join us."

Yahinodora and Sulpicia will not participate in the previous round table meetings, but this year may be an exception.

"It's to discuss Hillier's matter." Ahinodora lowered her eyes after hearing this, and she probably understood in her heart that Hillier's matter might take more effort to convince the group of high-level officials.

Although those high-level officials expressed welcome and kindness to Hillier at the beginning of the banquet, it was all superficial.Just like Donato, although he was the first to express his position, he didn't necessarily think so in his heart.

Since it's a round table meeting, my status as the elder's wife may not be easy to use.What's more, those who can reach the top of the Volturi are all extraordinary people. Those who can really go deep into the family's roots are so easy to dismiss. I'm afraid that the verbal disputes at the meeting will be unavoidable.

"Well, if possible, I really want Hillier to live an ordinary life, even if it's just for a short period of time." Ahinodora sighed in her heart. She recalled the days of going to Fox High School, that period of peace and relaxation The time of the past always makes her never forget.

But she also knew in her heart that Hillier's talent was extremely useful for the development of Volturi, and that child had the same unyielding character as Caius.Even if she can deal with Ah Luo, in the end, Hillier herself will not be willing to hide under the shade of the Volturi tree for the rest of her life.

"Hillier behaved very well at the banquet, and he has already shown the aptitude to be able to stand alone." Marcus gave Ahinodora a boost from the sidelines, and his calm tone diluted Ahinodora's heart uneasy.

"Mom, I can do it." Hillier didn't want Ahinodora to be embarrassed, he eagerly expressed his belief, and his serious appearance made Ahinodora finally nodded slightly.

"咚咚-"

A knock on the door attracted everyone's attention, and Jane and Alec entered the conference hall in flamboyant costumes.Jane was already petite, so she looked very cute in a gorgeous banquet attire.The two held a few cards in their hands, and the names of the people were written on the cards.

"Master Aro."

Jane respectfully handed the card in her hand to Ah Luo, and the names on it were all names that were unfavorable to potential Hillier.When Jane and Alec get orders to play at a dinner party, they understand the mission behind the fun.

"Jane, Alec, you are really the wealth of the Volturi." Aro stroked the heads of the two lovingly, and then told them to go back and have a good rest.

Caius naturally guessed what those cards were. He stared at them for a while, then he looked at Hillier and Ahinodora beside him. He looked at Ahinodora gently. Rubblingly entrusting something to Hillier.

It's okay for someone to be apprehensive and fearful, but they must never really think about something.

When the time on the standing clock in the study came to the hour, Ahinodora heard a faint sound, and after a while, the door of the hall was pushed open.

Donato, the person in charge of the European region, led the way in. Behind him were five people dressed in gorgeous clothes. After saluting respectfully, the six people sat down at the round table.

"I hope you have a good time at this year's party." Ah Luo looked around with a smile, but his smile finally cracked when he saw the empty seat.

"The banquet was lively and exciting as usual." Donato praised his curly mustache with a smile.

"Oh, I think Sulpicia would be glad to hear that."

Aro's spirits were not so high, he seemed confused by the lack of people in the meeting, so he asked softly, "Does anyone know why our dear Nakia didn't attend this meeting?"

Ah Luo's inquiry silenced everyone, and no one dared to speak, but they all turned their eyes to Liu Man.

The seven top executives correspond to South America, North America, Europe, Oceania, Africa and Asia.Volturi has installed a high-level executive in these places, but Asia is more special, and there are two high-level executives in that vast area.One is Liu Man, and the other is Nakia.

Volturi's influence is mainly concentrated in Europe and America, and its influence in Asia is relatively weak. Therefore, they have arranged two leaders in Asia to help each other and check and balance each other.Now that Nakia, who is one of the leaders in Asia, is absent, everyone will naturally focus on Liu Man.

"My lord, I don't know the reason for Nakia's absence. The last time I contacted her was a week ago. At that time, everything was normal, and I didn't hear any rumors from my side."

Liu Man, who took off his mask, revealed his true appearance, with a sharp brow and starry face paired with a neat greasy hair, an image of a handsome young man.Liu Man is about 35 years old, his eyes are slightly sunken, and his clean and smooth jaw makes him look only 30 years old.

Liu Man's answer did not bring any clues to everyone, but his answer was almost impeccable, and his neither humble nor overbearing attitude could make people see any clues.Therefore, as soon as Liu Man finished speaking, the hall fell into a tormenting silence, and the rest of the people could only keep silent with their own conjectures.

Absence from a high-level meeting is not a serious matter in itself, but if there is neither a greeting to the headquarters nor an absence for any reason, it makes people have to think in a bad direction.

"Someone disappeared for no reason?" Caius tapped the table with his finger, he did not hide his doubtful eyes, the coercion released from his body made Liu Man feel a little uncomfortable, and his hands resting on his knees anxiously scratched The crease on the inside knee of the trousers.

"Lord Caius, everything I said is true." Liu Man still maintained a decent posture in such a high-pressure environment, and he said sincerely to Caius.

"Nakia's disappearance has nothing to do with him." The silent Hillier said something astonishing. He looked at Liu Man with calm eyes, which gave Liu Man the illusion of being seen through.

"Since this is the case, I will send guards to follow up on Nakia's matter. I must have been caught up in some unexpected incident." Ah Luo narrowed his eyes slightly, and waved his hand to signal that this matter will be postponed. "We Let's talk about Hillier."

The disappearance of Nakiya distracted these high-level executives to some extent. When Aro suddenly mentioned Hillier, they had to pull their thoughts back and discuss another difficult issue.

Donato sighed inwardly when he saw his colleagues pretending to be dull.As the person in charge of the European region, and also the top executive closest to Arrow, I can only ask those desperate questions by myself.

"My lord, please forgive me. I believe that everyone here has a doubt in their hearts, that is, whether Lord Hillier can grow into a healthy vampire, and what form is Lord Hillier living in now?"

Donato's kind face softened the sharpness of his words. Although his subtext was questioning that Hillier might bring disaster to the Volturi in the future, it sounded like a kind elder worried about the junior's body healthy.

"Hillier is a complete vampire. He fits all the characteristics of a vampire." These invasive questions displeased Ahinodora, but she clearly knew that dispelling these doubts was the purpose of this meeting. The essential.

"The characteristics of everything refer to...?" the person in charge of South America asked.

"Feeds on blood, has pale skin, extremely fast movement speed and body recovery ability, and most importantly, he has supernatural abilities." Caius answered this question, "Under our year-long observation, Although Hillier's growth rate is too fast, overall he doesn't pose the threat of a bloodthirsty devil boy. Most importantly, he can be taught."

"A born vampire rather than a transformation?" The African director gasped, his blood-colored eyes staring at Hillier without blinking.

"Has the growth of just one year reached the level of a 15-year-old human child?" Donato's mustache trembled. "Then the next time we see him, won't we see a little old man?"

Everyone couldn't help laughing at Donato's words. The North American manager sitting next to him patted him on the shoulder and scolded, "It would be too scary if that's the case."

"I don't think so. Hillier's growth rate is getting slower and slower now. I believe that one day he will stop growing." Marcus smiled and shook his head.

The rest of the people in charge only asked a few symbolic questions, but their questions were much milder than Donato's.Seeing that everyone's fear and hesitation towards Hillier has dissipated a lot, this "Hillier Proof Conference" can be regarded as successfully completed.

When Ah Luo announced the end of the meeting, everyone got up and saluted and left.Hillier held Liu Man back before he left, and then said softly to him with a smile: "We will meet again soon."

"Looking forward to meeting you." Liu Man seemed a little surprised by Hillier's words, but he still bowed slightly, then turned and left.

After everyone left, Hillier looked at Ah Luo and said, "Although Nakiya's disappearance has nothing to do with Liu Man, he still lied. What does he know?"
