Chapter 6 Chapter 6 The Earl's Return

An hour later, Alfonso and Parker had returned to the castle in Rome.At this time, Romeo just brought Margaret here.By some kind of strange coincidence, three top executives from the EE organization appeared in Alfonso's castle at the same time for the first time in history. Margaret, who had been frightened a lot, couldn't help crying when she saw Alfonso, sobbing and confiding the grievances she had suffered in the past few days.Alfonso also hugged her in his arms with some distress, and comforted her with soft words, "Okay, be good, don't cry. You will be fine when you come back this time. I promise, no one will I dare not bully you again."

"But...but the teacher is still there...the teacher didn't leave because he wanted to save us...what should I do..." she whispered, wiping her tears. Hearing what she said, Alfonso realized that Liuxia had not returned with Romeo.His heart sank suddenly, and the empty place was instantly occupied by an indescribable sense of loss.What followed was a worry that even he himself couldn't tell the depth of. He asked the maid to take Margaret away, and asked again, "Romeo, what is the matter?" Romeo had no choice but to recount what happened before, and then sighed softly, "This time I also have my responsibility. If I can move faster, I will definitely be able to rescue her." In Romeo's heart, in fact There is another question, why didn't the boss tell him about Liu Xia being a tutor here?

After hearing this, Alfonso looked out the window thoughtfully, but didn't say anything. "I didn't expect Mirante to use such a despicable trick for this bidding project." Romeo snorted softly, "But this time he didn't achieve his goal, so he might come up with something more despicable. " "Fortunately, you transferred the painting earlier." Parker also interjected, "Now Margaret is fine, and this matter has come to an end. We should hurry up and send this painting to the speaker's wife." "But Liuxia is still in their hands." Romeo interrupted him, "No matter what, I will go back and rescue her."

Parker was slightly taken aback, "Romeo, this really doesn't sound like what you said. I don't think Mirante will use a tutor to blackmail us, maybe he will let her go in a few days." "You also know Mirante's character, who knows what method he will use to torture her." Romeo frowned, "I will save this woman." "Romeo, you can't act without my order." Alfonso looked at him coldly. "Aren't we going to save her? I really can't agree with that, she helped Margaret after all." Romeo's face was a little displeased, "Although I'm not a good person, but what I said still counts."

Parker glanced at him suspiciously.Romeo's temperament has always been cynical, and he has never seen anything he would care about.It's really strange that he would behave so abnormally for a woman now.As a member of the organization, their hearts should have been numb in the killing, sympathy and worrying about others are nothing but luxury for them. "When did I say I won't save her?" Alfonso still kept his calm expression, "But Mirante must have stepped up its guard now. If you go there rashly, it's not only dangerous, but also self-defeating." "Then what should we do?" Romeo couldn't think of a better idea for a while.

The corners of Alfonso's mouth raised in a subtle arc, and his ambiguous smile made it impossible to guess his true thoughts, "Since those people want Flora, let them give it to them." The world suddenly became quiet. It seemed that there was only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves, and the dim stars in the sky seemed to indicate that it would be a long night. This night was also long for Liu Xia, and she finally welcomed the morning sunshine of Ciwetavecchia after tossing and turning.After washing up, she changed into the dress that Catherine had just brought in --- it seems that Master Mirant's lucky color today is blue.However, when Liu Xia saw Mirante's gloomy face on the stairs, she quickly realized that today did not seem to be a lucky day.

Thinking of the scene where she almost suffocated yesterday, she felt that her breathing seemed to be a little difficult. Zola's voice sounded in Nuo Da's living room at this moment, "Master, since Miss Madeleine ordered you to return to Naples first, why don't we..." "She said she would go back? What did she think of my younger brother?" Milante seemed to be angry, and quickly interrupted the other party, "She said that I failed this time, so what about herself? Not the same, not only did not lead to the decision-maker A, but also lost Dante’s pawn, I am afraid it will not be so easy for us to get information from the EE organization in the future.”

"But now you have no more useful bargaining chips in your hand." Zola turned her eyes, and obviously noticed Liu Xia who was still standing on the stairs, "You don't think that earl is willing to use a priceless famous painting Shall I exchange a governess?" "You don't need to bring her in." Mirante snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, "I won't go back to Naples anyway. I will definitely get this government project, no matter what method I use." He glanced at it when he raised his eyes In the presence of Liu Xia, a complicated expression flashed across his face, and then he bent his lips again, "Liu Xia, why are you so dazed there? Why don't you come down?"

Liu Xia had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue walking downstairs, and sat beside him.Today, the young master changed into a Gucci vest with Prussian blue and bronze colors. The printed silk scarf of the same color around the waist is full of femininity and extravagance. The lower end of the narrow and narrow trousers is stuffed into Russian soft leather boots with metal rivets Among them, there is a decadent and gorgeous avant-garde style. If Master Mirant joins the modeling business, he might have a better future than his current "career". "Did you sleep well last night?" His gentle attitude made Liu Xia feel a little uneasy, and he was forced to nod his head as an answer.Recalling the scene where the young master turned into a wolf last night, she still had lingering fears.

"By the way..." Mirant wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the phone ringing. "Zola, you pick it up. If it's my sister, tell me I'm not here." An impatient look quickly passed over his face. "Understood." Zola muttered softly and picked up the phone.After listening to the other party say a few words, his expression changed obviously.Before he could speak, the other party quickly hung up the phone after finishing what he had to say. "Whose call is it?" Milante asked casually seeing his strange expression. Zola didn't answer him directly, but looked at Liuxia with an extremely strange look before she said, "It's Lisa, the housekeeper of Earl Lorenzo's house, calling. She said that Mr. Earl Already knew about it."

"How could they know my number?" Mirant raised his eyebrows in surprise, and quickly realized, "Since we can trace the person here and rescue him, it is not a good idea to find the phone number of this house." Difficult. Well, what did they say? Hasn’t the Earl’s daughter been rescued? Why are you calling?” "She said...the Earl hoped that we could let Miss Liuxia go." Zola seemed to not even believe what he was going to say next, "He is willing to exchange that flower god." Mirante's hand holding the coffee cup visibly froze, "What? Did I hear correctly, Zola?" "It's absolutely true. She said that the time and place of the exchange are up to us." Zola pushed her glasses habitually, "But young master, this might be a trap." "It may be a trap, but it may also be a good opportunity." Mirand squinted at Liu Xia with a half-smile, "There may be some unknown stories between the employer and the tutor." Liu Xia's face darkened, and she turned her head to avoid his sight.It's no wonder that others are thinking wildly. To be honest, when she heard the call, her first reaction was unbelievable. How is this possible?She is just a little tutor, and has no relationship with the earl. How could the other party exchange her with that flower god? She really didn't think she could be worth that much money. "But this girl..." Zola remembered that the young master had said before that he would bring her back to Naples, and asked casually, then stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Liu Xia, I want to take you back to Naples. But..." Mirante still smiled charmingly, "For me, everything in the world has a price. Since someone can come out to satisfy me price, then I have no choice but to reluctantly part with you and transfer you to someone else." A chrysanthemum-like smile quietly emerged from the corner of Zola's mouth, and the answer from the young master was just as he expected. Liu Xia naturally wanted to leave here earlier, but this answer made her feel indescribably disgusted.She sneered coldly, and couldn't help but sarcastically said, "It turns out that in Master Mirant's heart, everything has a price. So what is the price of this brother wearing glasses? And what is the price of your sister? Does it mean that as long as someone offers you a price that satisfies you, you can give them up?" Mirante's pupils shrank slightly, and then a strange smile slowly spread on his face.He squinted his eyes, reached out his hand unexpectedly to pinch her chin, and moved his face close to her face, before he said each word, "As long as someone can offer a satisfactory price , I can even give up on myself." Liu Xia was stunned for a moment, and broke away from his control with a little sullenness, not bothering to say anything to him. "Zola, please inform the steward of the time and place of the transaction. Tomorrow at twelve o'clock in the evening, Santa Maria Church." Milante thought for a few seconds, "Also, no matter what method is used, the auxiliary building of the Roman Museum Long Gino was brought there with him." Hearing this name, Liu Xia couldn't help being startled. Isn't the deputy curator Gino the most authoritative art appraisal expert in Italy?In this way, Mirante is also in case of fraud, and is worried that the other party will use a fake to confuse the audition.I really didn't expect - this man is so thoughtful. "Have you not had breakfast yet? The coffee is already cold." He gently put two pieces of sugar in her coffee.The warm sunlight quietly fell on him through the bright glass windows.The faint gold spread out, like a master's brush, outlining his outline in the most beautiful way.His short brown hair, his handsome face, all melted into this light golden light, giving the onlookers the illusion of being crystal clear. The midnight of the next night was fast approaching. Unlike most Baroque Catholic churches in Italy, the Church of Santa Maria is a typical Gothic church. The tall spire rushes towards the sky like a flame, as if it can get closer to God.This church is said to have been built in the early 14th century, and has experienced many ups and downs in the long years. It is undoubtedly a wonderful irony to conduct such a transaction in front of God. The midnight bell had just struck, and Zola also stepped into the church with Deputy Director Gino at the same time.Before the cross where Jesus Christ suffered, there were already two people waiting there. One was an old lady with silver hair, her deep and sharp eyes could not be blocked by thin lenses.This must be the housekeeper Lisa who spoke with him. And the other... Zola always thought that Master Mirant was the most beautiful man she had ever seen.But at this moment, he understood that the title of the most beautiful... the man in front of him is well-deserved.
