Chapter 75: Street assassination

After bidding farewell to the three major fleets that set sail, Lorrain Hill

boarded a carriage marked with a painted night flower, and then the group

began to return.

As the weather gradually turned cooler, some leaves began to appear on

Hopeland Avenue. Although the beach is not very cold, the night breeze that

hits made everyone feel a lot of coolness.

After the hot season has passed, everyone’s appetite is much better than

usual. There are more stalls selling food on the street, including cheap and

affordable scones, sprinkled grilled fish with spices, and some carefully

selected ones. Grilled clam meat.

The mussel meat in the white shell is slightly browned by the orange-red

charcoal fire. It is sprinkled with some salt particles, and then some bay

leaves are added to remove the fishy smell. The scent of meat begins to spread

in the air.

"Sister, I want to eat that."

A pair of elder brothers stood by the street. The elder sister with long

chestnut hair wore a black skirt, and the younger brother was in a white

hunting suit. It was the sisters and brothers of the Hellis family, Meilu and

Bell, and four guards behind them.

"Bell, go back and eat. I'll let the chef make it for you then."

Mei Lu looked at the stall on the street, directly exposed to the sea breeze,

and occasionally some dust was picked up by the wind, and it was not very

clean and hygienic.

"No, when I go back, my father has to grab me and learn those annoying numbers

again. I don't want it. I will eat here. Sister, you promised me that you will

have a good day with me today."

The little boy Bell began to get angry, and Mei Lu was a bit at a loss for a

while. She was not that kind of cruel sister. Bell was placed high in

expectations by her father since she was a child. She is usually under strict

control at home, and only she can occasionally bring her out for fun. .

"Well, my sister will buy it for you." Mei Lu touched Bell's head with a touch

of affection, then took his hand and walked forward to help him choose.

The carriage that Lorrain Hill was riding in also happened to pass this

street, and when he saw the siblings, he stopped the car and prepared to say

hello.

The cedar car door opened, and the girl walked down wearing a white knee-

length skirt. The afterglow of the setting sun swept down from the edge of the

sea, dyeing the white skirt with a touch of gold.

"It's been a few days, Mei..."

Before Lorrain Hill could finish speaking, a wagon behind the road suddenly

lifted the wrapper, exposing a cold crossbow, the bowstring vibrated, and the

sharp sound was not transmitted, and the piercing crossbow bolt directed

towards The girl's body came directly.

Lorrain Hill made a decisive decision, and the light blue strappy sandals

stepped heavily on the stone bricks. Using this as a fulcrum, her body quickly

turned sideways, her long skirt fluttered, a blood beam and hair flew in the

air, and her shoulders were more There was a blood stain, and the long hair

around the ear was missing several strands.

Before the others could react, a guard beside Mei Lu suddenly pulled out a

long sword and rushed towards him. The long sword made of cold iron was

covered with a strange blue light.

The sword is poisonous, Lorrain Hill reacted quickly. After activating the

demon core, she was not afraid of any poison, but it also meant the end of the

mission and all previous efforts were wasted.

Although I don't understand why the guards of the Hollis family also did it,

after a short period of thought, Lorrain Hill decided to not activate the

Transcendent Core for the time being, relying on his extraordinary perception

and reaction ability to easily avoid Jian Feng.

A fierce sword light slashed on the door of the cedar car and got stuck in the

wood three-pointer. At this time, the guards of the Calites Chamber of

Commerce also reacted and rushed over with loud shouts.

A Kalites guard wearing steel armor directly knocked the assassin away,

Chelsea also pulled Lorrain Hill back into the solid carriage, and the four

riders rushed directly to the crossbow behind. Before they had time to shoot

the second shot, the riders stabbed the assassin they were manipulating and

pulled off the carriage.

At this time, more than a dozen guards from the Calites Chamber of Commerce

have surrounded the sisters and brothers of the Hellis family, aiming their

spears, and standing ready. If Lorrain Hill hadn't called for an emergency

stop midway, they would just rush to see you. Blood out.

The guards of these Calites Chamber of Commerce are young people who have

recently been carefully selected from the Chamber of Commerce. They have

excellent qualifications. Their parents and family members work in the Chamber

of Commerce. They have been exposed to the affairs of the Calites Chamber of

Commerce since they were young and helped to lay hands. . It can be said that

the business will greatly improve their families and lives, and have a strong

sense of belonging. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are a second

home.

But now someone assassinated Miss Lacey, the only heir of the Callites Chamber

of Commerce, in front of them, and caused the Chamber of Commerce to collapse.

This is equivalent to destroying their current source of happiness.

Seeing these glaring guards, the cold and cold spears were full of murderous

aura, Bell shook off the shell mussel meat in fright on the spot, while Mei Lu

was guarding her younger brother behind her, facing these with worry. Aiming

of long spears and crossbows.

The remaining guards of the Hollis family have long been taken down and

pressed to the ground.

After everything settled down, Lorrain Hill slowly walked out of the carriage,

looking at the scene in front of him, a little helpless.

-----------------

The maid in the carriage carefully wrapped Lorrain Hill's arms with gauze,

while the girl invited the siblings into the carriage to talk.

Ding--

The sound of the ceramic tray hitting the teacup, the maid poured the warm

black tea, Bell was holding the teacup, and now slowly settled down, and Mei

Lu said apologetically.

"I'm very sorry, Miss Lacey, it is our Hollis family who is not strictly

guarded, and actually let the assassin into the guard."

"Please don't get me wrong. This incident was not our Hollis's work. Tomorrow

I will visit again to apologize and compensate for the loss."

"Miss Mei Lu is probably joking~www.mtlnovel.com~ The guards around you are

all carefully selected from the family members of the Chamber of Commerce. It

is not an exaggeration to say that it is a side branch of your family, how can

you not know it? ?"

Chelsea pushed the glasses on the bridge of the nose, with sharp eyes, and

seemed not satisfied with the explanation of the Eldest Hollis family.

"I know this explanation is a bit far-fetched, but it is true."

Mei Lu's voice was a little self-deprecating, with a hint of bitterness in it.

The Hellis family’s family tradition values family affection, which has led

to many positions being held by relatives. These relatives are not shrewd and

capable. Instead, most of the corpses are vegetarian, lazy and corrupt, making

the chamber of commerce bloated.

She also dislikes these relatives who like to work, but after all, she is

related by blood, and she is only the daughter of the family, not the eldest

son. She will marry out in the future and can't discipline them too much. But

who wants to cause such a big thing today.

Lorrain Hill had healed from the wound under the bandage at this time. She was

not very angry, but she was a little surprised that Mei Lu, the parent and

daughter of Hellis, had so much inconvenience and restraint at home.

In fact, this is also special for Calites. The other chambers of commerce have

many relatives. Affected by the westerly family’s tradition of emphasizing

family affection, Verga’s large chamber of commerce will generally give

preferential treatment to their family members. After all, they are

trustworthy and have many relatives. The blood relationship is stronger. But

this also disperses power, breeds corruption, and often has to balance the

feelings and interests of other members.

The Calites family is completely different. The interior is very refreshing.

Everything depends on strength and performance. As for relatives, I'm sorry,

Angus is just a daughter. Now everything is up to Miss Lacey. From top to

bottom, there is only her voice. There is no need to think about other messy

household chores, she just doesn't know the blessings in the blessing.
