The badge of the senior advisor of the palace was indeed very effective. Chen Rui had an unimpeded journey and entered the palace directly. Obsidian got the news of his arrival and immediately put aside the matters in hand to meet him.
"Your Highness." Chen Rui bowed with joy on his face: "The initial capital investment went very smoothly, and the most difficult period for the family was finally over. Thanks to His Highness's trust and timely financial support, the original two-phase investment
The rebate of 100 million will be made in one installment and all will be returned to His Highness. Here is 1.2 billion, please send someone to count it."
As he spoke, Chen Rui waved his hand, and a large push of space rings appeared on the ground, each filled with bags of bulging black crystal coins.
Obsidian didn't look at the pile of space rings. If this human being could come to the Demon Realm again as promised, he would definitely not play such a short trick. He nodded with satisfaction: "Your Excellency Charles is indeed a trustworthy person. Next time
Is there a plan for the investment? How much will it cost?”
"It's not needed yet..."
"Charles"'s attitude surprised Obsidian. He didn't even want to pay for it?
Obsidian is suspicious by nature. If Chen Rui immediately asked for more money, he would inevitably have some doubts in his heart. But now that he didn't want more money, it was equivalent to giving away 200 million in vain, which made him frown.
After a long while, Hei Yao said: "If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly. Have you found a new partner?"
Chen Rui secretly smiled in his heart, knowing that his little trick was successful, he shook his head and said: "Your Highness, don't get me wrong, I have promised that the Fallen Angel Empire will be my only partner. In fact, this is the case. At present, the investment projects have been activated one by one, and the family
The business is gradually picking up. The crisis has been passed, but blind defense may not be enough. We need to accumulate strength and prepare for counterattack. The next step of investment is still being planned."
Obsidian's face turned slightly bright, and he nodded slightly.
"I have a team of about fifty people, all of whom are senior calculators, who are responsible for budgeting revenue and expenditure. Every detail cannot be missed, because sometimes, a small wound can be fatal."
"Fifty people are responsible for the budget?" Obsidian looked slightly surprised: "They are indeed the number one business family."
"The financial budget is only one aspect. On the other hand, that major event has reached a critical moment. I believe that it will not take long to get the final result. This is the real key. Once I can succeed, then I have an 80% chance of winning.
It will be of immeasurable benefit not only to my great cause, but also to His Highness."
Obsidian said with emotion: "You mean..."
"No matter what, my promise remains unchanged. His Highness Obsidian will be my only partner, Charles Roland. When the time comes, His Highness will be able to control monopoly resources that are unique in the demon world. Whether it is control of his own country or control of the
The diplomacy of other countries will play an immeasurable role."
Chen Rui's words finally made Obsidian look happy: "Well, I'm looking forward to this day coming."
"It will be as Your Highness wishes." Chen Rui bowed.
"It will be as your Highness wishes." Hei Yao was in a good mood. No matter what, they gave him 200 million for nothing, and his title also changed.
"By the way, Your Excellency Charles has come all the way. Thank you for your hard work. I will hold a banquet tonight to welcome your arrival. There will also be a dance later. Your Excellency has come to the Demon Realm. You don't have a formal residence yet? I will give you one later.
I give you a luxurious mansion in the imperial capital, and dozens of beauties. Compared with human women, I believe they will have a different and wonderful taste."
Dozens? Chen Rui was secretly ashamed, fearing that even the dragon talent was not enough.
"I am deeply grateful to His Highness for your kindness, but I still don't have to. I will continue to live at Isabella's place. It is undeniable that she is a real beauty, isn't she?"
"Isabella?" Obsidian's eyes flashed with a trace of amusement, "I have heard some scandals between you and this lady. I didn't expect that you are really interested in her. But don't forget, this lady has
The nickname of Mandala in the Imperial City. In the demon world, Datura is a poisonous flower. Although it is beautiful, it contains crazy poison that makes people unable to extricate themselves. If your target is Isabella, I can only wish you good luck.
Already."
"The more difficult it is, the more flavorful it is, isn't it? Your Highness?" Chen Rui showed a smile that all men understand.
Obsidian also smiled: "The stronger the horse, the more powerful it is. Your Excellency Charles is indeed a noble nobleman with good taste. I personally support you unconditionally. I wish you can truly pick this famous flower of the imperial capital as soon as possible."
Chen Rui thought to himself that it seemed that Isabella's identity and value were different. Obsidian did not directly say "send", but encouraged her to "chase". Perhaps the value he expressed so far was not enough.
"As long as His Highness does not grant me a residence for the time being, that will be the greatest support," Chen Rui said with a smile: "Actually, she and I are just ordinary friends now, but a lot of trouble has begun to target me."
"Since it is the flower of Mandala, you should be mentally prepared." Obsidian said with a smile: "But you can rest assured that nothing can affect our cooperation plan. The banquet tonight..."
"Excuse me, can your highness's welcome dinner be left until next time?" Chen Rui doesn't want to attend any banquets and dances. "My time is too tight this time. I will go to Chiyou territory after a short rest."
, go to see my brother who is practicing in the devil world, my father has important words to bring to him. Then I will go directly back to the ground and start the most critical part of the plan."
Obsidian nodded: "Of course, I hope you can get the recognition of the great master as soon as possible."
Chen Rui left the palace, returned to Isabella's residence, and proposed his plan to go to Chiyou territory. Isabella nodded and offered to send him off in a specially prepared carriage. Chen Rui declined this kindness, but offered to
She asked for a good horse, and after a quick lunch, she rode straight out of the city and ran along the main road.
At this stage of the plan, Samuel must make arrangements so that he cannot stay and top the cylinder. Moreover, it is said that Samuel reached a critical stage of breakthrough last time. I don’t know the details. At that time, he can also start from Chiyou.
Go directly back to Darkmoon.
Chen Rui rode his horse and galloped all the way, and soon left the royal city of the imperial capital. Pedestrians gradually became sparse. About two hours later, when he reached a loop road leaning against the rolling mountains, he suddenly felt a sense of danger in his heart.
The omen is coming.
Before he could rein in his horse, a group of meteorites mixed with flames suddenly fell from the air, instantly smashing Chen Rui and his horse down. The ground was being ravaged by the powerful fire magic "Meteor Fire Rain", which happened continuously.
Violent shaking.
The cathartic meteorite finally gradually stopped, and large exaggerated pits and cracks appeared on the nearby road. The bones of Chen Rui and the horse could not be seen, and only vague traces of blood and minced meat could be seen.
"Huh?" Someone suddenly said in surprise, and then several figures chased forward, and in the blink of an eye they were already submerged in the mountains.
At the critical moment just now, Chen Rui dodged in time and stayed away from the scope of the magic. It was the poor horse that died under the meteor shower.
Chen Rui realized that he was surrounded and that there must be a powerful magician. He immediately fled deep into the mountains, trying to use the terrain to avoid long-range magic. Naturally, those who wanted to kill him were in hot pursuit.
Passers-by in the distance only saw flaming meteors falling, the ground shaking, and then a figure seemed to fly past like lightning, and soon disappeared.
Chen Rui ran all the way and fled into a forest. Due to the unfamiliar environment, his speed inevitably slowed down. A figure suddenly passed in front of him. At the same time, a spherical black light struck, which could be felt from a distance.
Feeling the huge power of oppression, Chen Rui had no choice but to make a turn. The failed black light hit a giant tree that was hugged by five people. The big tree seemed to have been exploded from the inside by some powerful explosives, and a terrifying thing was shattered in the center.
A big hole came out, sawdust flew around, making a grinding sound, and collapsed.
Chen Rui just dodged the black light, and another green light swept in front of him. This green light seemed to have no power. However, Chen Rui's expression was more solemn than when he faced the black light before. He narrowly avoided it by turning sideways, and the green light seemed to have no power.
Wherever he passed, the trees on the opposite side were broken into five pieces, and the fractures were extremely smooth, as if they were caused by extremely sharp energy.
A huge sea of fire behind him continued to burn like a wall, and it contained the power of the manic fire element, making it impossible for Chen Rui to retreat.
"Aren't you going to run away?" A cold voice rang out. This was a strong man holding a short black stick in his hand. The long stick was a ball with countless sharp spikes and a strip at the end.
Iron chain, it was this terrible mace that just smashed the giant tree into powder.
The strong man is a member of the wrathful royal family, and his overall strength rating has reached b+, the peak of the Great Demon King.
Physique b+, strength b+, spirit c, agility b-.
The Furious Royal Family is a royal family with Samael as their surname. The Furious Empire was destroyed by the Blood Evil Empire. Chen Rui once fought against the Demon King-level Rawat, the deputy leader of the Two-Headed Dragon Legion of the Blue Melt Territory, in the Dark Moon.
The royal family's "Blood Rage" talent left a deep impression. Judging from the data, the man in front of him was obviously a powerful opponent.
The one who emits a sharp look is a woman wearing strange long sleeves. Her facial features are quite pretty, but there is a cross knife mark on her face, which ruins her original appearance. A cold and murderous aura overflows from the slightly upturned corners of her eyes. Even without analysis.
With his own eyes, Chen Rui could tell that the long-sleeved robe was a specially made piece of equipment. He didn't know whether it was the long sleeves that cut off the trees just now, or the sharp weapon hidden in the sleeves.
Race: Arrogant royal family (mutation). Overall strength b.
Physique b-, strength b, spirit b, agility b+.
The magician who previously cast Meteor and Fire Rain was suspended in the air about three meters, holding a long wooden staff in his hand, and his face looked older.
Race: Great Demon (mutated). Overall strength b+.
Physique c, strength c-, spirit b+, speed c+.
Two peak demon kings, one middle-level demon king, with strength, speed and long-range magic type. This combination of combat power is quite terrifying, and the level of danger is far greater than the last time they faced Sulfur and two vampires.
"There is one more, come out. It's already this time. Do you want to be a devil turtle with your head shrunk?" Chen Rui's eyes fell behind the big tree on the other side.
"Hmph! I wonder if your mouth will still be so tough after you turn into a corpse." A familiar voice rang out, and the figure gradually became clearer. There was a tall, thin man with a handsome appearance, wearing a set of valuable clothing.
The armor and a beautifully decorated long sword in his hand were exactly what Chen Rui once taught him in front of Isabella, the heir to the Lincoln family, the patriarchal family of the imperial capital, Luo Dan.
"It's you!" Chen Rui raised his eyebrows, "I am a senior adviser to the palace, and you dare to kill me. If His Highness the Regent finds out..."
"Although the Imperial Capital is headed by the regent, the regent does not have the final say on everything. Many things are inseparable from the decision and strength of our elder family. Don't say that you are not a noble, you are just an empty title with a consultant, even if
Even if he is a true noble, I will kill him anyway! Ever since you humiliated me in front of Isabella last time, you have been destined to be cut into pieces!" When Rodan mentioned this matter, he looked gritted and handsome.
His facial features were a little distorted.
Last time it was clearly Luo Dan who provoked and attacked first, and finally brought humiliation to himself. Unexpectedly, he actually had a deep grudge. Chen Rui knew that it was meaningless to argue with this kind of second-generation ancestor, so he smiled calmly: "Since you want to kill him,
I, myself, must first have the awareness of death."
"Stop bluffing!" Luo Dan sneered: "I have the most reliable information. Your strength is at most the peak of the Great Demon King, and has not reached the level of the Demon King at all. You will definitely die today!"
Chen Rui paid attention to another thing. From the time he arrived in the imperial capital to the time he left, he only stayed at Isabella's house for a while, met Obsidian in the palace, and then returned to Isabella's house for dinner.
Within such a short period of time after leaving, Rodin detected his movements and arranged an ambush. It seemed that what Isabella said that Rommel wanted to deal with him was not a lie.
It's just that Rommel was also extremely cunning. He actually pushed out Rodin, who had a problem with him, and hid behind him. It was really insidious. Or maybe he could be given the nickname "Fox of the Capital" to suit the situation?
Judging from the information Isabella revealed intentionally or unintentionally, Rommel was one of the representatives of the veteran family. In comparison, Isabella’s background was much shallower, and she only obtained the title through her connections with her late husband’s family.
Approval from the upper aristocracy.
Obsidian was actually more afraid of Rommel, but due to concerns about the huge power of the old families in the imperial capital, he had to entrust him with the important task of taking charge of the imperial affairs. It is very likely that Rommel was not familiar with the origin of "Charles" and the plan.
Not very clear.
In any case, the relationship between Obsidian and the patriarchal family has a lot to make a fuss about.
For example, these people in front of me...
Luo Dan's arrogant voice brought Chen Rui back to reality from his rapid thoughts: "Now you don't even have a chance to escape or beg for mercy. These strong men came with orders to kill, but...
I can give you time to give your last words."
"I'm sorry, from the beginning, I never thought about escaping, including coming here," Chen Rui smiled slightly, "because in this remote place I can use my power without any scruples. In fact, I want to apologize.
