"You're crazy! You're seeking your own death!" The man collapsed on the ground, tears and snot mixed together, staining the neat clothes he was once proud of. At this moment, he didn't have any dignity of a nobleman.
He used all his strength to roar at Sophia, his voice as hoarse as a broken bellows: "You will die! We will all die!"
Sofia glanced at him contemptuously, as if looking at a lingering insect. She casually combed her flaming red hair with her slender fingers, looked at herself in the mirror, admiring her exquisite makeup, as if she didn't listen.
to the wailing of men.
"Who knows?" Her tone was frivolous and playful, as if death was just a game to her.
The man struggled desperately, trying to reach out for the pills scattered on the Persian carpet, which was his last hope, but his trembling hands could not use the strength. He was in pain and begged with a tearful voice: "Please
You, Sophia, give up! Give up this crazy plan, we can remain anonymous and start over, maybe... maybe we can live another life..."
He knew that once he brought Sophia to Tang Mo's coronation ceremony, he would be embarking on a path of no return. Regardless of whether Sophia's plan was successful or not, there was only death waiting for him.
The poison of the black crow had already penetrated deep into the bone marrow, eroding his body, destroying his will, and making him worse than death. The bone-eroding pain followed him like a shadow, tormenting him all the time, forcing him to succumb to Sophia's madness.
What made him unbearable was the fear of death. What was even more unbearable was the pain caused by the black crow. This kind of pain was more terrible than death, so he would rather choose to die.
Sophia slowly turned around and looked down at the man on the ground, her eyes full of indifference and disdain: "Give up? If I give up, Sophia will be dead. A body without a soul, what's the point of living?"
The word "we" in the man's words deeply hurt Sophia. She had never considered spending the rest of her life with some idle idiots. Living was not the most important thing to her, and she would be with the trash.
Living is even a kind of torture for her.
In her opinion, this man was as despicable as a maggot, and even looking at him made her eyes dirty. In name, she was his wife, but in fact, she had never let him touch a finger of hers.
Sophia clenched her fists suddenly, her knuckles turning white, and trembling slightly because of excessive exertion: "You don't understand at all!" She spoke word by word, each word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, her voice was sharp and harsh.
, like the noise of glass across a blackboard.
"Revenge!" She paused and took a deep breath, as if she wanted to suck all the anger into her heart: "Revenge is the only motivation for me to live!"
She raised her head suddenly, her eyes burning with crazy flames, as desperate as a trapped animal but full of strength. She approached the man and looked down at him condescendingly, her eyes full of contempt and disgust: "I must make Tang Mo pay.
cost!"
She gritted her teeth, and every word was filled with deep-seated hatred: "Let him know that I am the ultimate winner!"
She turned around gently and reached out to brush the things on the coffee table. The delicate porcelain shattered on the ground, making a crisp sound that frightened the struggling man lying on the ground.
Those high-purity black crow pills in porcelain jars rolled down on the carpet. The dark color was like a seductive black hole. The expression of the man lying on the ground became even more painful. He was really about to lose control completely.
The man curled up in pain and was shaking, his face was pale, and he was sweating profusely. He struggled to get up, but he could only roll over weakly on the carpet again and again.
"You're crazy!" he shouted hoarsely, his voice hoarse, with a hint of despair.
"You have gone completely crazy! This road is a dead end and will not lead to good results!" He stretched out his trembling hand and tried to grab Sophia's calf, but he failed.
Sophia snorted disdainfully, her eyes as cold as looking at an ant: "Humph!"
She turned around and walked towards the window step by step, her beautiful bare feet stepping on the soft carpet without making any sound, as if the god of death was walking.
"The reason why I failed before." She spoke slowly, her voice low but full of power: "It's because I wasn't crazy enough!"
She turned around suddenly, a fierce light flashed in her eyes: "If I could have been more ruthless and decisive..." She paused, took a deep breath and said vently: "Tang Mo would have been better.
You’ve already lost!”
She walked to the window and looked out at the bustling city decorated with a festive atmosphere. Her thoughts returned to twenty years ago. At that time, the Datang Group had not yet risen, and Tang Mo was just an unknown little blacksmith. If she could
With all the power of the Cyric Consortium, it might be possible to strangle the weak Tang Mo in the cradle. She closed her eyes, and the youthful face of Tang Mo back then and the ambition shining in his eyes appeared in her mind.
However, she did not have the ability to foresee the future at that time, and she could not make a desperate move. What's more, at that time, there were many factions and intrigues within Cyric, and no one would take an unknown small blacksmith shop seriously. She slowly
He slowly opened his eyes, a trace of regret and unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
Today, Sophia has been completely blinded by her obsession with revenge. She cannot see the danger ahead, nor can she listen to any advice. She is like a programmed machine, heading towards destruction without hesitation.
"You are absolutely crazy..." The man squeezed out these words through his teeth with difficulty, pointing his trembling fingers at Sophia, his eyes full of fear and disbelief, "Now in this situation, you have no chance of winning.
!Look at what you look like now, like a trapped animal, struggling to its death!"
"No!" Sofia smiled contemptuously, her tone full of confidence: "On the contrary, I have a great chance of winning. Do you think the empire Tang Mo built is really unbreakable? Childish! This empire was completely built on Tang Mo alone.
He is the cornerstone of the empire. As long as he dies, the empire will collapse and disintegrate in an instant, just like a tall building that has lost its foundation and collapsed."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "His men are indeed very powerful." The man gasped, staring at the pills in front of him and murmured: "Lew, Tiger, Chu
Muzhou... they really won't surrender to anyone, the Tang Empire will definitely fight on their own, and they will fall apart without us taking action by then!"
"Even so." The man struggled to sit up and shouted desperately, "But you are already dead! Look at you, you are neither human nor ghost, you are already a dead person!"
"It doesn't matter." A hint of madness flashed in Sophia's eyes: "If I can die with him, I will be very happy. Being able to go to hell with him is a great honor for me."
"You..." The man looked at Sophia's crazy look and was speechless for a moment, leaving only a deep sense of powerlessness.
"This is why I dyed my hair back red..." Sophia stroked her long red hair, her eyes blurred, as if she had gone back to the past: "Today, at the celebration, I will be the most beautiful woman... He
The moment he sees me, he will definitely be filled with regret. This will be our first meeting, and it will also be his last day in this world."
The man was silent for a moment, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Do you really think he will regret it? He may not care about you at all. You may be nothing in his eyes."
"No." Sophia's eyes suddenly became sharp: "He will regret it. I know him. I know what he desires most deep down. I know what he wants most."
"If there is another world after death." Sophia's voice became soft, as if telling a beautiful dream: "I will allow him to kiss my hand... He is the only man who interests me, and I can
Give him this honor. He will regret being my enemy. He should kneel down in front of me like other men, lick my toes... and give me the Tang Empire as a gift!"
"Crazy woman..." The man collapsed on the ground weakly, his eyes empty, and muttered to himself: "You are a madman! You have gone completely crazy!"
"Hahahaha." Sofia laughed loudly, her laughter full of madness and despair: "Thank you for the compliment. Eat these black crows quickly, so that we can attend the most grand... ceremony in the world."
"Don't be stubborn anymore..." The man begged bitterly: "Turn back and give up, Sophia! You still have a chance to start over! No matter how people like you live, they will live better than others..."
"There's no chance." Sophia shook her head, her eyes firm: "I've gone too far and can't look back."
"Are you really going to do this?" the man asked desperately.
"Yes!" Sofia replied firmly: "I have decided."
She will not let anyone change her plan. It is the best ending she has decided for herself and the world.
"You will definitely regret it!" the man roared.
"I don't regret it." Sophia said calmly, "I have never regretted it."
When she said this, Sophia seemed to remember something, as if something passed away in her heart... What she wanted to destroy may be what she longed to have at a certain moment.
"Madman! You madman!" the man cursed again.
"Maybe." Sophia smiled faintly and looked at the clock on the wall: "But this is me."
"Take the medicine quickly!" Before the man could say anything else, she continued to urge: "Time is running out. You'd better hurry up, I'm in a hurry."
"I..." The man hesitated.
"Don't be afraid." Sophia comforted: "Death is not terrible. What is terrible is that living is like death."
"I... don't want to die..." The man still hesitated.
"Believe me." Sophia said softly: "The most painful thing in this world is that life is worse than death. You are lucky, at least you can choose... and this will be the most correct choice in your life."
"We will go to hell together..." The man finally made up his mind, tremblingly picked up a black crow pill and put it into his mouth.
After the last line of defense was shattered, and after the pain exceeded the fear of death, after he took the first black crow pill, he gave up on himself and began to grab the black pills on the ground and stuff them into his mouth.
inside.
That pitiful and humble look was like a poor beggar grabbing leftovers on the ground. Sophia didn't have the slightest sympathy. She just looked down at the other person who kept devouring the black crow, showing a sick smile.
"That's right." Sophia nodded with satisfaction: "Let's go together to welcome a new beginning."
"A new beginning..." The man murmured to himself. His body was no longer in pain. The effect of the drugs made his eyes gradually become blurred. His face was filled with morbid calm, and he looked like a walking corpse.
"Yes." Sofia replied affirmatively: "A new beginning...or the final ending."
…
The thick oak door was gently pushed open by the butler, making a low creaking sound. What came into view was the man's tall and straight figure, dressed in a crisp black suit, meticulous, and restored to his previous calm and wealthy appearance.
He stood next to the scarlet velvet sofa, like a loyal knight guarding Sophia sitting there. His eyes were no longer blurry, replaced by an empty calmness, as if nothing mattered. Sophia leaned lazily
On the sofa, a glass of amber wine was gently shaking in her hand, and the scarlet liquid swirled around her fingertips, like a beating flame.
"Sir, the car is ready." The butler bowed slightly and said respectfully: "According to the time, you and your wife should set off." His voice was low and steady, with a hint of subtle reminder.
Sofia elegantly placed the wine glass on the carved coffee table, stood up slowly, and wore a long red dress that set off her fiery red hair, as if a burning flame was beating gently. The years have left traces on her face,
Life in the jungles of southern Dorne has also made her skin no longer as fair as it was more than ten years ago, but her mature charm is still full of charm, radiant and irresistible.
"I understand, let's go." Sofia responded calmly, with a hint of unquestionable majesty in her tone. She walked towards the door with elegant steps, and the man followed her step by step, like a loyal shadow.
The butler watched the two people leave silently. His years of professionalism allowed him to hide all his emotions under a calm face. He had long been accustomed to the new wife giving orders, and was used to keeping his mouth shut and not easily revealing his likes and dislikes.
The original mistress passed away inexplicably a few months ago, and the master quickly married this beautiful and mysterious woman. He still knew a little bit about what happened, but he could only keep the questions deep in his heart. As a man,
A steward, his duty is to obey, not to question.
The black car started smoothly and merged into the endless traffic outside the window. Most of these vehicles were VIP cars going to the celebration, with gorgeous decoration and extraordinary style.
A few hours later, the world's largest coronation ceremony will begin in the center of the world, the largest city, Chang'an...
The sun shines on Sophia's face through the car window, reflecting the ambition and desire in her eyes. She wants to step on this stage, under the spotlight, shock the world, and let the whole world remember her forever.
