"After waiting for so long, has that person responded to you?"
Vera asked softly while stirring the coffee with a spoon.
Lizzy shook her head: "Not yet."
Not long after Vera asked her to meet at the cafe, Lizzy revealed the information about "Angel".
This is what Angel has ordered before. Once Vera comes to ask her, there is no need to hide it.
After Vera learned about the name "Angel", although she was confused, she did not ask immediately, but hoped that Lizzy could help contact her.
Naturally, Li Zi did not dare to refuse. She had taken advantage of the opportunity to go to the toilet to activate the nightmare and tried to contact Angel.
But until now, Angel still hasn't replied to her.
Vera nodded calmly, without showing any impatience, but asked with a little curiosity: "What kind of person is he?"
Although Lizi revealed the name of "Angel" and stated that it was Angel who asked her to help inquire about "Alfred" information.
But other information was not disclosed at all.
Li Zi mused: "...he is a respectable person."
Respect? Vera raised her eyebrows.
She thought about many possibilities. For example, Li Zi would say that he was handsome, she would say that he was elegant and eloquent, and she would say that he was humorous... They corresponded to deceiving the body, deceiving the ears, and deceiving the heart respectively.
This is also Vera's subconscious image of Angel. In her opinion, Vera is a rational person, and she must have been deceived if she chose to help Angel.
But what she didn't expect was that Lizzy's answer was very different from what she imagined.
"Respect." Vera raised the corners of her lips, "This answer is very interesting."
Either Angel is really worthy of respect, or... Angel's deception skills need to be improved to a higher level.
The former will not be considered, because if there really is such a person who can be respected by Li Zi, then he cannot be unknown.
As for the name "Angel", Vera had never heard of it in the circle of magicians.
Therefore, Vera still believes that Angel is most likely a big liar who deceives the world and steals his reputation.
Of course, Vera didn't make a conclusion right away. Whether it was as she suspected, she would know after she got in touch with Angel.
"Why do you think he is worthy of respect?" Vera looked at Lizzy intently: "What has he done that makes you feel respected?"
Li Zi hesitated for a moment and then replied: "What I have done these days and the murdered bodies I found were actually revealed to me by him."
"If it hadn't been for him, I wouldn't have known that the evil was buried right in front of me."
There are corpses being trampled under the corridors that are trampled on every day.
In the walls that I pass every day, there are bones sealed with mud.
Even on the ceiling, there are innocent souls who cannot close their eyes, looking down at all the living beings in Tina Building.
In the past, Lizi didn't know anything about this. If Angel hadn't informed her, she might have been kept in the dark and continued to trample and ignore those innocent souls.
"Inform you of the sins." Vera took a sip of coffee: "For you, there is indeed a reason for respect. However, have you ever thought about why he knows where these sins are hidden? Have you ever thought about it?
, maybe he is from another organization and came here to alienate Tina Entertainment? Don’t forget the chaos five years ago."
Faced with Vera's suddenly raised tone and unexpected questioning, Lizi was a little stunned.
But soon, she shook her head again: "No, Angel is not such a person."
As to why it wasn't, she couldn't tell.
Just from the bottom of her heart, Lizzy believed in Angel. This was an unshakable anchor.
Vera didn't know that Lizzy had the anchor point set by Angel in her heart. Seeing Lizzy's delusional attitude without refutation, she became more aware that Angel was a liar.
There is just one question that remains unsolved.
"Has he ever mentioned why he went to investigate Alfred?" Vera asked.
Angel is most likely a liar, and his target should be Alfred. But, what exactly is he looking for information about Alfred? Has he discovered anything?
Vera stared at Li Zi closely, and the atmosphere that had been relaxed before now became tense again.
Even Li Zi has a sense of turmoil and horror.
Under the pressure of this momentum, Li Zi became speechless for a moment.
At this moment, a voice suddenly echoed in their ears.
"Ask Lizzy, why not ask me directly."
Accompanied by the clear young voice, a figure suddenly appeared beside the coffee table.
Before that, Vera didn't even notice anyone approaching.
Her originally elegant and calm expression visibly paused at this moment. The strength of a person who could approach so silently should not be underestimated... Moreover, his words seemed to have revealed his identity. If nothing unexpected happened, he should
This is the Angel that Lizzy calls him.
Vera's thoughts were racing, but she was not superficial.
To outsiders, she just raised her head slightly, glanced at the young man who suddenly appeared, then continued to add sugar and milk, and stirred the coffee in her hand.
"Sir!" Lizzy stood up in surprise.
Angel, to be precise, was the "second illusion body" created through the nightmare in Lizzy. He chuckled and nodded to Lizzy.
"Are you Angel?" Vera continued to smile elegantly, looking as graceful as an old-fashioned lady in the palace.
Angel chuckled and nodded: "Yes, I am Angel."
Angel turned around and stretched out his hand to Vera: "Nice to meet you, Ms. Vera."
Vera did not extend her hand, but just looked at Angel silently, as if evaluating whether he was qualified to shake hands with her.
Angel was not annoyed, but added in a voice as soft as a whisper: "In other words, His Majesty the King of Darkness."
Vera was still pretending to use Qiao to build momentum. After hearing Angel's whisper, Vera's expression changed instantly and she stared at Angel.
Angel smiled and said nothing, but raised his eyes and nodded lightly.
Vera's lips moved, but in the end she didn't say anything. She stretched out her hand and held it close to Angel.
Then he pointed to the seat next to him and motioned for Angel to sit down.
Angel sat down next to Li Zi calmly.
When they were looking at each other, Vera finally saw Angel's face clearly. He was young and handsome, with both unruly publicity and elegance in his brows, just like the combination of sunshine and moonlight.
Together.
It must be said that his appearance is excellent, but what attracts more attention is his temperament.
When a person like this is put in a fashion show, his clothes no longer complement him, but he shows off his clothes.
However, it was precisely because of his good temperament that Vera became even more confused.
Logically speaking, someone with such appearance and temperament shouldn't be someone from nowhere.
Why, never heard of it before?
The most important thing is that Vera has never heard of Angel's name, but Angel knows her very well, and even knows the hidden identity of the "Lord of Darkness".
You know, even the core members of the Fashion Guild don't know this identity.
The only ones who know about this are the noble knights of each term.
The former noble knight has gone to the dark corner, and now there is only the current noble knight... Could it be that he leaked it?
"I've heard Lizzy mention you before, but I didn't expect that Mr. Angel, whom Lizzy respects, would be so young." Vera spoke proactively, trying to grasp the direction of the conversation first.
Angel did not answer immediately, but said to Lizzy: "Ms. Vera and I have something to talk about in private."
Li Zi understood immediately: "Okay, then I'll go outside first."
After Li Zi finished speaking, she stood up and left quickly, and she even felt a sense of impatience.
She also felt very uncomfortable with the atmosphere here, especially after Angel's sudden "flash", the aura around Vera seemed to become more and more stagnant.
So Angel hinted her to leave, but she breathed a sigh of relief.
After Lizzy left, Angel looked at Vera: "In this case, we don't have to engage in small talk."
"It just so happens that I don't like small talk." Vera had put down her coffee cup at this time and put her hands on her legs. She still looked elegant, but Angel could see that every muscle in her body was tense.
, seems ready to fight at any time.
Angel: "Don't be so nervous. Since I'm here to see you, I won't make a big fight."
"I have never heard of your name in the magic circle, but you know a lot of things." Vera: "The fashion magic aura is weak, almost non-existent, but the figure is illusory and does not exist."
Please collect the book!
"Such abilities are not like the methods of Modern City."
Vera's eyes flashed sharply: "So, you should be from another city. You are obviously from another city, but you are so concerned about the information of Modern City. Could it be that the organization behind you also wants to settle in Modern City?"
Faced with Vera's question, Angel did not answer immediately, but said: "Everything should follow the rules of balance. I can answer any of your questions, but in exchange, you also need to pay a corresponding price."
Angel can actually use Nightmare to control Vera.
Just like Lizzy, set an inner anchor point.
But the premise of all this is that his true body is here... Just an illusion body cannot set the anchor point.
Therefore, Angel chose dialogue.
Just like what he had communicated with Zuniga at the beginning, Angel gave her more respect and choice when facing a big figure with dual identities such as the "King of Darkness" and the "Former President of the Fashion Guild".
Vera looked at Angel quietly: "You are the first person in these decades who dares to talk to me like this."
Angel did not answer: "So what is Ms. Vera's choice?"
Vera: "Two points. As long as you promise me these two points, I can make an equal exchange with you."
Angel: "You tell me first, and then I'll see if I can agree."
Vera: "First point, I can't confirm whether what you are telling is the truth. I need you to stay in "flow" the whole time when answering my questions."
"What is flow?" Angel asked doubtfully.
Vera: "Flow is a fashionable magic that comes from the eye of the clear mind. It can determine whether you are lying."
It stands to reason that with Vera's status, there is no need to care about the equivalent exchange of a small person.
The reason why she "condescended" to agree with Angel was that Angel's mystery "shocked" her. Before she understood Angel's origin, she did not want to get into a confrontation.
Secondly, in normal communication, it is difficult for her to judge whether Angel is telling the truth. But if Angel can stay in the flow, then she will not worry about the other party deceiving him.
In this case, she didn't mind a certain degree of "equivalent exchange" with Angel.
Angel has never heard of what the Eye of Clear Heart is, but from super-perception, Angel is sure that Vera is not lying.
A fashionable monster with authentication magic?
"Okay." Angel nodded carelessly.
Vera didn't expect Angel to agree so happily. She thought about it and then said: "Second point, if you want to make an equal exchange with me, you must first let me know what you want from me.
"
Angel smiled: "Okay. I can agree to both of these points, but since you mentioned two points, how about I also mention two points?"
Vera nodded noncommittally.
Angel: "First point, I will answer your questions in your flow...any questions. But the premise is that you can only ask three questions."
"Three questions are too few." Vera immediately retorted.
Angel smiled and did not argue.
Vera: "Five questions."
Angel remained silent and his eyes were calm, but Vera felt an unquestionable determination.
"Okay, just three questions." Vera thought for a while and finally decided to agree with Angel.
"Second point, you cannot bury Lizzie in any way." Angel said, "She has nothing to do with me or the organization behind me. You can verify this with me later."
Vera nodded without hesitation this time: "Okay."
Angel: "Since we all agree, let's start now?"
Vera: "First tell me what price I need to pay?"
Angel smiled, stretched out a finger and said: "It's very simple, I hope you will fully support the Prada beauty pageant."
Vera guessed many possibilities, but she didn't expect that Angel made this request.
After hearing this, she only found it funny.
"You asked me, a member of the Fashion Guild, to support the Prada beauty pageant?" Vera pointed at herself: "Are you sure you're not joking?"
Angel's expression was calm.
Vera stared at him for several seconds, confirming that his eyes were full of solemnity, and then continued: "Are you really not joking?"
"Of course not."
"Since you know my true identity, you still ask me to support the Prada beauty pageant?" Even though Angel's expression was serious, Vera still found it ridiculous.
"Don't talk about the Prada beauty pageant. If you ask me to support the dark competition, I can't even do it in a public capacity, let alone do it with all my strength."
Angel: "I think you may have misunderstood. What I mean by full support is not to ask you to contribute to the Prada beauty pageant."
"But I hope you will stop the objections of the Fashion Guild and the Dark Round Table."
If it were in the past, the Prada beauty pageant would evolve into a "meat show", and the top management of the fashion guild at that time would definitely not stop it, and would even be happy to see the beauty pageant degenerate.
But when Prada Media found the carnival night clown and started organizing the beauty pageant in earnest, the Fashion Guild would definitely be upset when they learned the news.
Therefore, what Angel wants is for Vera to use her authority to block as much as possible the small actions within the Fashion Guild against Prada Media.
Moreover, Vera is also the person behind the Dark Round Table - the Lord of Darkness.
She can even influence the decisions of the Dark Round Table.
Although the Dark Round Table may not necessarily cause obstacles to Prada Media, who can tell?
In short, Vera's identity is very useful.
"Just to stop the internal people from causing trouble for the Prada beauty pageant?" Vera asked suspiciously.
Angel nodded.
"You don't need me to help Prada?"
"Preventing trouble from arising is already the greatest help."
When Vera heard this, after hesitating for a moment, she nodded: "Okay."
To her, these are just one-sentence instructions, and they can be accomplished without much effort.
However, Vera was very curious as to why Angel would make such a strange request?
