It seems to have stopped?
Or not?
Urey himself didn’t know that. He just subconsciously walked into the studio— where he painted the second ‘The Nameless Maiden’.
In fact, he spent lots of time here before the second auction started.
Urey grabbed a bottle of wine which he didn’t know the name. After biting the oak cork open, he quickly and fiercely drank the wine.
He sat on the chair where he was taken away by Edgar about thirty or forty minutes ago.
And now, Efim and the man with the helmet were dead… and many people in this manor had probably died.
Urey slowly closed his eyes while the shooting scenes that happened a few minutes ago flashed in his mind.
…
“You dare to lie?!”
Efim snorted. Even he had thought this guy would play tricks, but Efim would prefer if Urey could find the heir of the Typica Family who destroyed his life.
“You are dead meat.” Efim groaned.
Tianzui spoke nothing; Comparing with Efim, he preferred to clean up the obstacle and send away Efim quickly, who looked like a human-shaped wild boar, so that he could finish the task.
The loaded Benelli M1 was directly aimed at the desk. The bullet could easily go through the desk and even the human hiding behind it.
Killing was a very regular occurrence to him. He was hungry to kill someone.
He pulled the trigger; however, Urey roared and rushed out towards him from the back of the desk.
He was courageous.
But even so, Tianzui thought his behavior wouldn’t change the end of him, who would be riddled with bullets.
Ah, it was really a boring ‘delivery’ task.
Tianzui thought a lot of things in an instant. However, suddenly, an unknown fear filled up his whole body. He didn’t know where this fear came from… he only knew his body had turned completely stiff at that moment, no matter his eyes and fingers.
Only his thoughts were still running fast.
But!
His body still couldn’t move—Nevertheless, he could clearly see Urey aiming towards his head with the pistol.
He felt pain that he had never experienced before. At this moment, Tianzui’s brains were blown out.
Every movement seemed to slow down. The moment Tianzui’s body directly fell backward to the ground, one could easily see his body rebounding slightly.
And it raised up the dust hidden in the study’s carpet.
Bang bang… Bang!
The gunshots were the last sound he heard in the world.
He didn’t know why he couldn’t move; but he just knew the decorative lighting on the study’s ceiling looked beautiful.
Tianzui… was dead.
What about Efim?
Efim opened his eyes wide and unconsciously covered up his stomach; nevertheless, it couldn’t stop bleeding.
Suddenly his body twitched; he tried to seek for something to hold up his body, but he couldn’t find anything, so he fell down.
A bullet had entered his chest.
Efim opened his eyes wide… It was a terrible look.
In fact, he could see nothing, but he could sense that somebody was beside him.
Efim suddenly grabbed and tightly pulled Urey’s clothes with his blood palms.
Both of them glared at each other, the heavy atmosphere was like an explosive, which was about to be ignited.
“You… You won’t have a good end… My end…” Efim said as blood flowed from his mouth, “will be your fate… I curse you!”
…
“I curse you.”
Urey suddenly opened his eyes; before Efim died, his eyes seemed like to stare at him who was just 10 centimeters away.
“Both are dead…”
He held his forehead with his hands; suddenly, he laughed low and deep, which turned into crying gradually.
“My end will be your fate.”
In fact, this sentence had already come true…Urey knew he would close his eyes forever soon.
He suddenly remembered the days he spent in this city.
If he really was talented… Then, it may be the cause for all of these.
There were no shortcuts to success… Was Anna abominable?… But if it wasn’t for him seeking an opportunity, he would probably not promise to draw the counterfeit painting.
Blame himself?
Was he wrong? Would he be famous if he worked hard as a street painter?
But now his enemies were all dead, and there wasn’t much time left in his life— What could he do for the rest of the time? Enjoying the rich life crazily before he dies? Then how painful would life be before death? How painful would it be to count the remaining lifespan?
All of a sudden.
Urey held up the pistol without spirit.
He knew there was still a bullet inside.
From his eyes, he looked like a patient with Alzheimer disease.
Urey slowly opened his mouth and put the gun in.
He finally closed his eyes and then pulled the trigger… He chose to kill himself.
Bang—!
It was over.
…
It was over.
But he was still able to open his eyes without the pain in his imagination… He could still see everything around him so clearly.
Urey subconsciously turned his head. He felt a palm on his face from nowhere— it was the club boss’s.
“This 6-chamber gun really has good power.”
Then a bullet slowly dropped down from Boss Luo’s palm. Urey looked at it, showing a slight hint of anger.
“Why did you stop me? Won’t you be happy to take away my soul before the appointed time?”
“Both of us won’t know what will happen in the future.”
“What?”
Urey showed a blank look.
Luo Qiu then gently snapped his fingers, which made Urey close his eyes and directly fall on the ground… Meanwhile, Anna slowly walked out from Luo Qiu’s back.
She crouched down and touch Urey’s face.
“It shows that Miss Anna really loves Mr. Urey for making such a request.” Luo Qiu lightly said.
But Anna looked up and shook her head, “Do you know what love is?”
Luo Qiu gave a start, because nobody ever asked him such a question except her.
He directly shook his head.
“Really.” Anna smiled, “But I think I should not love this man… I just feel that, no matter what, I owe him something.”
Anna took a deep breath, “Isn’t it funny? I knew his love for me before everything happened… I thought I could love him, by compensating or replying him; but later I understood that’s not love, and I should not be loved… I just feel guilty.”
She got up, “I’m going to do something to make up for him. Efim’s death can comfort him, even if the way he died was out of my expectations.”
Anna shook her head, “Did you know that I had lots of opportunities to kill Efim.”
She showed a very glamorous smile, “After all, it’s clear that this guy was very obsessed with my body… But I didn’t want to kill him. If he died, there will be another person coming up to control the mining lot. If we don’t dig out the dirty deals between the authorities and the mining lot, there will be countless Efims on their ways there. Anyway, since Efim died, then I should die… let’s finish this issue then… He…”
Anna looked at Urey on the ground and said, “He’s only a poor man who was involved. He could actually pursue his dreams. And I believe that he’d be famous after some time, and even be a very good painter.”
“You can also choose to achieve your original goal,” Boss Luo suddenly said.
Anna chuckled because she just felt ridiculous, “You are really a freak, who often gives me choices that are good and should not be refused. It seems you’re willing to see me to make choices that are beneficial to myself.”
Luo Qiu indifferently answered, “Because we are on the side of the customer.”
“Then you’re an unqualified boss.” Anna shook her head, “Some people prefer to help others at their own expense.”
“I see.” Luo Qiu nodded with his hands slightly opened, then an old sheepskin roll suddenly appeared, floating to Anna and unfolding.
“Miss Anna could sign it if you agree with all the clauses in the contract.”
Anna gently pressed her palm on the contract.
…
“Are you unhappy, master?”
Miss Maid saw her that master was silent now… It had been several minutes since she accompanied Luo Qiu, who was standing at the highest place of the manor, observing the matter that happened downstairs.
But Boss Luo didn’t say a word, and the servant girl just left him alone. Unlike before, where she always helped slightly to change matters.
“Unhappy?” Luo Qiu turned his head and curiously looked at You Ye, “Why?”
Miss Maid softly said, “Because the quality of Miss Anna’s soul didn’t turn higher since she was rescued; rather, it…”
“It’s getting worse, right?” Luo Qiu said with a laugh, “You should know that I won’t curse you even if I heard something worse. After all, we’ve been together for a while now.”
“Yes. I appreciate master’s tolerance to me.” You Ye lightly responded, and then said with hesitation, “But, the contract of Miss Anna …”
“Of course we would do as the customers’ request.” Luo Qiu slowly said, “Handle this manor’s things first.”
Boss Luo chuckled as if he braced himself up in a sudden, “I didn’t expect a new role to join in the fight between the werewolf and its enemy.”
You Ye looked at Tianbai, Yelgo and Vera on the ground…She was not interested in the ridiculous battle.
But since her master looked at this with great interest, she should be with him as an excellent maid, perhaps adding to the fun.
“Master, look at Miss Vera, she seems to have learned Brazil jujitsu. That action is…”
…
It was not a good thing for Vera to meet such an obviously abnormal guy. Furthermore, there was another one inside.
Well… Maybe this guy also couldn’t control the wolf blood very well and should have completely lost his mind at the moment?
Vera quickly looked at Yelgo, who was almost a beast, and then she quickly glanced at the ‘giant’ in front of her.
“How exciting.”
Vera fleetingly moved in this manor— She had memorized the structure when she came to the manor last time.
Obviously, she didn’t get lost this time. But what was worse than getting lost was that she had to have a weird battle with the ‘giant’ and the irrational werewolf.
And she had to admit that she was the weakest among the trio, if she didn’t use that dirty power to fight the weird ‘giant’ holding inhumane power, and the werewolf that lost its mind.
“If you are not a werewolf, I will ignore this matter!” Vera frowned when she looked at the guy who was pouncing on and crazily biting the ‘giant’.
Then… Where was this place?
The studio?
Unwittingly, the trio smashed into the studio while the fight lasted.
