Lily followed the sound and turned her head to see a man dressed in black standing at the door, wearing a hood, and his face was hidden in the dark.
Although he was standing against the light, the sun did not add a trace of warmth to him, and he was like a fierce ghost crawling out from under the濂堜綍 bridge, which made people shiver.
Suddenly, he raised his head a little, and the guests covered their eyes in fear and dared not look, but Lily was not afraid, she looked straight at the man who was about to become her fianc茅, and saw the corner of his mouth slightly raised.
That smile was so strange that it made her scalp tingle.
He is Victor Stone, the man who is abroad but makes everyone in Gotham City shudder, and the man who is about to be engaged with her.
She saw the white hand rise and fall, and the cane quickly tapped on the ground three times, as if a bit impatient.
Sophie Thompson hid behind her in fear, pulling the corner of her coat, and through the clothes, Lily could feel her trembling.
"Meow~" The black cat in her arms called out aggrievedly.
Lily suddenly realized that his action just now was calling for this cat, this cat is his, but it was burned by Sophie Thompson...
"Come over." He suddenly spoke, his voice hoarse and unpleasant, which made people inevitably think of the black and white impermanence who came to claim lives at night.
"Meow~" The black cat called again, and then jumped down from Lilys arms, climbed up his pants lightly, and licked its hair on his shoulder.
"Come over." Victor Stone stretched out his hand again, this time towards Lily.
Everyone looked at her sympathetically, and Sophie Thompson even grabbed her clothes tightly when she walked forward.
She pried open her fingers and walked up to Victor Stone, looked at him fearlessly, and this time she saw his face clearly, his face was thin and sallow, his facial features were like a skull, and the skin on his face was ulcerated in many places, but his eyes were extremely clear and bright.
Victor Stone glanced at her lightly, took her hand and applied some ointment on the wound scratched by the cat, the ointment was cool and refreshing, just like his body temperature, which made Lily shiver.
"Does it hurt?" He bent his head and blew a few breaths on her wound, and that appearance was extremely cherished.
"It doesnt hurt." Lily took back her hand and looked at him warily.
She doesnt think that the few words of insincere confession just now can move this big figure with great power.
Victor Stone handed her the green porcelain bottle in his hand: "Apply it once in the morning and evening, it wont leave a scar."
"Thank you." Lily shakily took the porcelain bottle, but was caught off guard and suddenly pulled into his arms.
"Come with me." His tone was a bit eager.
This kind of appearance is really too different from the rumored evil spirit.
Lilys nose tip almost touched the rotting flesh on his chin, and she felt that the voice made her hair stand up all over her body, she stiffly pushed him away and said: "No."
She could feel his eyes that suddenly became cold, and she could feel that gaze falling on her face, she suddenly became scared, she wanted to run away from this person immediately.
"Mr. Stone, its been a long time, this is the Lily I mentioned to you, you just heard it, she has always admired you..."
Emma Johnson was mentally prepared, but when she saw Victor Stones face, her stomach still churned.
Lily glanced at Kevin beside her, and couldnt help but sneer in her heart, the sentence Emma Johnson just said was not deliberately pretending to be a virgin in front of Kevin, but deliberately stimulating her to say the following words for Victor Stone to hear.
She has known that Victor Stone is coming, and probably knows that the black cat is raised by Victor Stone.
"You, want to be my woman?" Victor Stones slender and cold fingers picked up her chin.
Lily calmed down, glanced at Kevin and asked, "What are the benefits of being your woman?"
Victor Stone sneered, and there was a trace of imperceptible pettiness in the smile: "Is it enough to call the shots?"
Lily gritted her teeth secretly, and he really heard the words just now.
"My adoptive father was framed and imprisoned, can you save him?" She asked directly.
"Of course."
"Deal." Lily stretched out her hand and looked at him with a look of indifference to death.
Since the person in front of her is more capable than Kevin, and since she has provoked him, there is no reason not to make the most of it, and then be threatened by others.
But Victor Stone suddenly covered her eyes with his hand, and then she felt the cold and soft touch on her lips, and she was shocked and wanted to push him away, but his hand was so tight that it was impossible to shake.
"Deal." He let go of his hand and spit out two words lightly.
Suddenly, there were several bombing sounds outside, and as soon as Lily turned her head to look, she was pressed into her arms and rolled on the ground several times.
The originally peaceful banquet hall suddenly fell into a hail of bullets.
"Are you okay?" A hoarse inquiry came to her ear.
Lily ignored it and turned a deaf ear to everything.
Its time, she has been taken care of by Kevin for so many years, and its time to repay the favor, right.
So, she almost without hesitation, as soon as she raised her head, she stabbed the silver needle on her fingertip into the arm of the person behind her, and then pushed away his control and ran forward. The bullet brushed past her ear, but she seemed to be unaware, and rushed to the back of Kevin, and the huge crystal chandelier smashed straight down on her. She looked at Kevin, who was dumbfounded, and smiled slightly.
I owe you, and I have finally paid it off.
"Lily!" After a tearing shout, Lily felt her body being hit heavily, and she fell to the ground and looked back to see the persons hat sliding off his head, and the whole rotten face was completely exposed, and his right leg was pressed by the chandelier.
He accepted her gaze, lowered his head, and struggled to put the hat on again, hiding the bright eyes in the dark.
Lily didnt know why he saved her, and only felt a corner of her heart soften fiercely.
"Lets go! The house is about to collapse!" Just as Lily got up and was about to walk towards him, Kevin grabbed her.
She then realized that the villa was on fire, and with the sound of the explosion, the fire was very fierce, and the entire villa was on the verge of collapse.
"Kevin, from now on, we are even." She looked at him, two streams of tears slid down the corners of her eyes, and then she shook off his hand and strode towards Victor Stone.
No one has ever fought for her life in this life, and since she has provoked him, she will not leave him alone to die.
Kevin wanted to catch up, but was blocked by the falling beam.
"What are you doing here? Get away!" Wayne Parker, who witnessed everything, glared at Lily.
Lily then saw that the chandelier had been moved away, but Victor Stones leg was pressed by another beam.
His leg seemed to have been injured before, and he had to rely on a cane to walk.
"Ill help you." Lily reached out to grab the beam, but was kicked out by Victor Stone, and she couldnt see his face, only heard a hoarse voice: "Roll!"
"Master, you endure it, it will be good soon." Wayne Parker cried like a child, and together with the other two people, he moved the beam from his leg bit by bit with distress.
Lily saw that they were lifting it with difficulty, and for fear that the beam would fall again, she quickly stepped forward to help.
The beam had been burned and was very hot, and the skin was immediately burned when touched, but in the end, Victor Stones leg was saved.
"You go, our master doesnt want you anymore!" Just as she helped Victor Stone stand up, Wayne Parker pushed Lily hard.
The surrounding smoke was rolling, and Lily was unstable under his feet and was about to fall into the fire sea, but Victor Stone jumped on one foot and pulled her back, and the two fell to the ground together.
