Schneider watched with cold eyes and said nothing about Veronica's actions. Novel Network...

Veronica's condition at the moment was definitely not good. There were several wounds on her thighs, waist and back. The skin was torn and the flesh was dripping with blood. In one of them, the bone was even visible.

If it weren't for the genetic user's extremely strong physical fitness and comparable vitality to Xiao Qiang, these injuries alone might have caused Veronica to lose the ability to move.

Compared with the bruised Veronica, Schneider can be said to be unscathed. The two stood together, forming a sharp contrast.

Veronica looked at Schneider up and down, raised her eyebrows slightly, and snorted coldly from her nostrils: "Schneider, you are very smart and made the right choice."

Schneider put away the giant sword, put his hand on his chest, and bowed to Veronica: "Your Excellency, from today on, the Twelve Palaces are yours."

His tone was humble and he used honorifics.

Veronica curled her lips and said sarcastically: "No need to be pretentious, I know why you helped me. If we lose, you must have a different face now, right?"

Schneider said calmly: "But your Excellency won, this is the most important thing."

"Forget it, I'm not in the mood to argue with you now."

Veronica waved her hand casually and limped towards Lin Zhong.

Schneider's eyes flashed, and he glanced at Veronica's back, then looked at Lin Zhong, who was wearing a mask and standing silently, standing still and not following. Novel Network...

Lin Zhong had broken away from the thunderous state of tiger and leopard, and his body gradually shrank. A large amount of white mist emerged from the pores all over his body, and it was the thickest on the top of his head.

Veronica walked up to Lin Zhong with difficulty and panted: "Are you okay?"

"fine."

Lin Chongxi's words are like gold.

It wasn't that he didn't want to say more, it was just that he was too tired to speak.

Veronica looked directly into Lin Zhong's eyes behind the mask, her pale blue eyes showing a complex look, and said sincerely: "Thank you, if it weren't for you, maybe I would be dead now."

"You're welcome, I killed Francis not only for you, but also for myself."

Lin Zhong nodded slightly, took off his mask, and revealed a calm face: "Also, don't forget what you promised me."

"Don't worry, I will never forget it."

Veronica looked around, and when she saw Derek hiding in the corner, her eyes suddenly turned cold.

Derek felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He never thought that Francis, who was invincible in his eyes, would lose, and in such a humiliating way.

If there was a medicine for regret in this world, he would be willing to buy it no matter what the price.

But unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world. Once you make a wrong bet, you must bear the corresponding consequences...

Although Veronica sentenced Derek to death in her heart, she did not do it immediately because the members of the Zodiac in the hall were not her direct descendants and she could not trust them.

As Francis, Joanna, and Stuart died one after another, everyone in the hall was deserted and looked at each other, feeling at a loss.

And Lin Zhong, who killed Francis, made them even more afraid from the bottom of their hearts.

Only today did they realize that human beings can be so strong that they are as powerful as ghosts and gods.

Lin Zhong turned a blind eye to the awe-inspiring looks of everyone, pulled out a high-backed chair and sat down, with his eyes slightly closed, he was working on his own inner energy and silently regulating his breath.

Lin Zhong had exhausted too much energy in the battle with Francis. Now he didn't even want to move a finger, and the place where Xia Yunfeng grabbed his head was causing severe pain, constantly stimulating his nerves.

Veronica also sat down opposite Lin Zhong. Her beautiful face was pale and bloodless. She was injured more seriously than Lin Zhong. If it weren't for the support of her pride, she would have passed out long ago.

In the silent atmosphere, time passed slowly.

About three minutes later, the closed steel door was pushed open again, and Illya, covered in blood, appeared at the door, followed by a dozen heavily armed men in black.

The clothes of those big men in black were stained with blood, and they exuded a strong smell of blood. Their eyes were fierce and violent, like bloodthirsty wolves.

Illya gestured to the men in black to guard the door, while she walked into the auditorium, came to Veronica, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully: "Sir, we have taken control of the headquarters.

"

Veronica reluctantly raised her eyelids and glanced at Ilia: "Are you injured?"

"No."

Illya shook her head.

"Then help me up." Veronica whispered.

"yes."

Illya carefully helped Veronica up from the chair.

Veronica took a deep breath. After a short rest, she regained some strength. She glanced at the faces of everyone around her and said coldly: "Francis is dead. From now on, I will be the number one."

Zhu Shi, do any of you have any objections?"

The members of the Zodiac lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look at Veronica.

Veronica suddenly emphasized her tone: "Answer me!"

Schneider spoke first: "No objection."

"We support Sir Veronica!"

"Your Excellency Veronica is suitable to be the first pillar."

"Only Lady Veronica can lead us."

With Schneider taking the lead, echoing voices emerged one after another.

Veronica was quite satisfied with everyone's attitude, her mouth curved slightly, and her smile flashed away.

She knew that these people might be dissatisfied, but so what? As long as she was given enough time, she would be able to bring the entire zodiac under her control sooner or later.

"Bring Derek here." Veronica said calmly.

Following Veronica's order, two tall and burly members of the Zodiac wearing alloy steel armor immediately grabbed Derek's arms, lifted them like a chicken, and brought them to Veronica.

.

Derek was trembling all over, his lips were trembling, and he was too scared to speak.

He may be powerful among ordinary people, but when faced with Lin Zhong and Veronica who possess extraordinary powers, his little power is simply insignificant.

Veronica leaned half of her body on Illya's shoulder, her blue eyes seemed to be open and closed, and she said lazily: "Mr. Derek, you seem to have lost the bet."

"Yes...I'm sorry, Lady Veronica, please...please forgive me..." Derek stammered with a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Give me a reason to forgive you."

"I am willing to atone for my sins and dedicate all my wealth to the Twelve Palaces. I just ask you to let me live." Derek kept nodding and bowing, and said in a low voice.

The more pampered and powerful people are, the more they fear death.
