At nine o'clock in the evening, in the living room of the senior staff apartment named Wang Chen:
"As of now, the 22nd to 27th districts in the nearby city have sent special personnel to attend the banquet. It seems that City Lord Zhao is cooperating with Fang Rui to make this matter bigger."
Looking at the messages that had been received one after another on his mobile phone since seven o'clock, Wang Chen tapped the table with his fingers with a complicated expression.
She was originally a little confused as to why Fang Rui came to her directly and provoked Xu Bufan inexplicably.
Now everything is clear.
People provoke Xu Bufan just to make things bigger and let more people know the secret of the "Blood Red Bride" and their purpose.
This ensured that she and Xu Bufan could not play dirty tricks on this matter.
"So why did City Lord Zhao choose to cooperate with that kid to offend me? Doesn't he understand how big the identity gap between me and that kid is?"
Xu Bufan frowned depressedly.
He doesn't care whether things get serious or not, he only cares about how the powerful himself lost to that lowly boy.
"well……"
Wang Chen looked at Xu Bufan, who was being treated as a pawn by Fang Rui without realizing it, and who still only cared about personal emotional issues, and sighed slightly.
How could I be blind in the first place and fall in love with such a fool?
"Because you increase his value."
With the compassion of having at least once been in love, Wang Chen explained:
"If the matter didn't get too big and you didn't speak out about the 'Blood Red Bride' too recklessly, City Lord Zhao would probably be on your side.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so cooperative in helping you invite Fang Rui over.
But later on, because you fell into Fang Rui's trap and had the purpose of self-destruction, you stood on the opposite side of the residents of District 24 and cooperated tacitly with him to make the matter bigger, letting the whole world know that the 'Blood Red Bride' was in his hands.
Helping him determine the ownership of the 'Blood Red Bride' led to City Lord Zhao's rebellion."
"What do you mean I fell into his trap? How could he be so sure that the person named Zhao would be on his side?"
"Didn't you do your homework before coming here?" Wang Chen shook his head helplessly and explained:
"Zhao Wuyan governs the twenty-fourth district. His main focus is to love the people as his own children and ensure the safety and sovereignty of the residents. You were directly on the opposite side of so many residents and were ready to take their lives. Zhao Wuyan just didn't care anymore.
With your noble status, you can't just sit back and watch.
You are forcing him to confront you.
What's more, by telling Zhao Wuyan about the 'Blood Red Bride' in such a public way, you are telling Zhao Wuyan in disguise that Fang Rui will be a potential stock that can grow into at least a B-level curser in the future.
The value of befriending a B-level curser is enough to be worth the loss of offending you, the little city lord of District 11."
"Ha!" Xu Bufan curled his lips in a sneer and said disapprovingly:
"Are you kidding? How come that lowly boy is a potential stock? He has the 'Blood Red Bride' in his hands, can he keep it?"
"If no one knows about it, it can't be saved, but now that you have helped and the whole world knows about it, there is a high probability that it can be saved.
After all, the regulations of the General Administration are also humane. As long as he openly admits it at the banquet later and promises to give up his identity as the leader of the Hongye Gang and join the official organization under supervision, we will take care of him.
It’s law.”
After explaining, Wang Chen couldn't help but glance at Xu Bufan.
She regrets it now. If she had not found Xu Bufan, but her best friend or someone else, she would have secretly taken the 'Blood Red Bride' from Fang Rui and handed it over to the General Administration in exchange for second-class merit, and asked her father to do it for her.
Her wish to be proud once again should be easier to come true, right?
"So this kid made such a big deal just to keep the 'Blood Red Bride'?" Xu Bufan realized belatedly.
"Probably to save his life..." Wang Chen glanced at Xu Bufan helplessly again and said:
"You just arrived in the 24th District with a high profile, and the city lord's abnormal behavior of immediately inviting him should have made him realize that you were coming for him. And the things you did to the guards when you first arrived also showed that you are not
He is a kind and soft-hearted person, so he was forced to think of ways to expose himself in order to save his own life."
"Are you blaming me?!"
"I don't blame you, I just want you to remember this lesson. Although the leader of the Hongye Gang is not as good as you, it is undeniable that you were manipulated by him in this incident, so in the future..."
"What do you mean, I was manipulated by him?!" Xu Bufan interrupted Wang Chen's kind persuasion out of anger, and said with an angry smile:
"I just don't want to waste my brains because of these bugs! In the face of absolute strength, no matter how hard the bugs and ants try to calculate, it will just be in vain."
"What's the meaning?"
"When the banquet starts, you will naturally know what I mean!" Xu Bufan gave it a try, then stood up and walked out of the apartment confidently.
…
At 9:45 p.m., the overall appearance of the City Lord's Mansion looks very much like an ancient official residence. It covers an area as large as a small park. Fang Rui is visiting the different parts of the City Lord's Mansion under the leadership of the waiter of the City Lord's Mansion.
Unique design in modern architectural style.
"You city lord seems to be very friendly to the people, but this mansion is not friendly to the people at all..."
After visiting a garden with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, Fang Rui sighed to the waiter with emotion.
"Gang leader Fang misunderstood our city lord. This city lord's mansion was not built later, but was built by the residents of the 24th district based on an ancient ruins raised by the residents of the 24th district for the city lord! It is the city lord's mansion and also one of our 24th districts.
Unique attraction.”
The waiter stopped, bowed slightly and explained:
"On weekdays, except for the East Garden where the office is located, and the Nanyuan where the staff of the City Lord's Mansion live, most areas of the City Lord's Mansion are open to the residents of the 24th District throughout the day."
"This operation is quite impressive, it seems..."
Fang Rui thoughtfully wanted to answer, but found that the surrounding scene suddenly blurred, and then, like a magic trick, the comfortable and elegant simple buildings around him turned into a volcanic crater that was so hot that one could not open his eyes in the blink of an eye.
.
"How is this going?!"
Fang Rui panicked and pressed against the wall to ensure that he would not fall into the terrifying lava. At the same time, he couldn't help but look around and shout.
"What's going on?" A big face of Xu Bufan appeared in the magma, and he said with a proud smile:
"Did you know that there is a strange item in the world that can release a special magnetic field and turn a small area into its own exclusive rule area?"
"You mean special props?"
"Oh? I didn't expect that a country bumpkin like you knows so much. You even know about special props..." Xu Bufan's face first flashed with surprise, and then he put on a smile again and showed off:
"Since you understand the special props, you can save me the time to explain. My special prop is called 'My World Rubik's Cube'. As the name suggests, in my world, I am the master, and I want you to give birth to you.
You can’t die, and if I want you to die, you won’t even want to live.”
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
As if to confirm Xu Bufan's words, the originally calm crater suddenly became much more active. Magma splashed up one after another, and billowing black smoke melted on the stone walls around Fang Rui. The latter was so frightened that he suddenly felt like he was on the verge of death.
Like an enemy, he crossed his arms to protect his face and closed his eyes.
"Hahaha, do you feel the powerlessness of an ant?!" Xu Bufan seemed to be satisfied with Fang Rui's performance, and laughed proudly.
Immediately he noticed the red leaf symbol on the back of Fang Rui's right hand. It was extremely bright in color and had a unique and strange shape. It was exactly the same as the picture Wang Chen had shown him.
"The mark is on the back of your hand, but no one has ever noticed it. You've hidden it well enough..." Xu Bufan couldn't hide his joy and sighed, and the big face above the magma suddenly condensed into a
He stood in front of Fang Rui looking like himself.
"Do you want to live?" Xu Bufan looked at Fang Rui and asked.
"Hmm..." Fang Rui looked serious and nodded as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Haha, if I hadn't been pressed for time, I would have really wanted to record your current useless appearance and show Achen how weak and helpless the talents she admires are in the face of my absolute strength!"
Xu Bufan first ridiculed Fang Rui in a vented manner, then stopped talking nonsense and went straight to the topic:
"Since you want to live, then listen clearly to what I'm going to say next and remember it by heart! Otherwise, no one will be able to let you leave District 24 alive."
