Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 416: As Long As You Like

"Bastard! Leon and I have been friends for many years. Do I still need a letter?" Diego narrowed his long and slender phoenix eyes, and a fragmentary light flashed through his eyes. "You guys are so ignorant, be careful that you don't have good fruit to eat."

The two guards endured the visible and invisible pressure from the young master of this wealthy family. Their foreheads were covered in sweat, but they still insisted on it. Just as Diego was about to explode again, a long laugh came from behind the door. "Diego, don't make things difficult for them. They are just following orders."

Leon walked out in a breeze. He patted the shoulders of the two guards and took them to the other side. Then he said to Diego, "If you blame me, I missed you."

"I think you did it on purpose, right?" Diego said with a gloomy expression.

Leon said with an exaggerated expression, "How could it be? Who doesn't know that we are good friends?"

"Good friend?" Diego laughed dryly.

Leon turned to the side and spread his hand into the door, "Please."

Diego then strode into the hall with the two women in his arms. Every guest in the hall didn't know the Grant family's young master. Especially after the launch of the magic equipment, although Diego wasn't as stunning as Alan, he still showed his face. Moreover, his dual status as a disciple of a wealthy family and a disciple of Master Lawrence was enough for these young people to make friends with each other at the banquet.

For a moment, Diego was surrounded by men and women like flowers. At the center of the circle, Diego smiled brightly and enjoyed the attention of everyone.

Leon quietly walked back to the deck and smiled bitterly, "The Grant family has had some business dealings with us recently, so it's really not good for this kid to get rid of him."

Alan was slightly moved when he heard that the Grant Clan had teamed up with Alexander and viewed Beth Cord as their number one enemy. Now that they were trying to cooperate with the Williams, the Grants naturally knew about the relationship between the Williams and Beth Cod. This action implied that it should have happened after Maine had moved closer to Mobius. Whether it was the recent moves of the Alexandrian Clan to compensate him or Maine breaking the unwritten rules among the nobles, the Grant Clan had begun to reconsider their attitude towards Alexandria.

Relations between large clans have always changed frequently, as businessmen often say. There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. The same was true for the clans. Unless it was an intractable blood feud, there would be few long-term enemies between the clans.

Of course, the trend of family relations always depended on the overall situation. As for the conflicts between the younger generations in private, as long as nothing big happened, the big shots in the clan would not interfere. So tonight, Diego was obviously using the change in family relations to step on Leon's field. Because he knew that Leon had no choice but to turn a blind eye to some of his actions out of family considerations.

These thoughts flashed through Alan's mind. He suddenly felt a little irritated. He only felt that the communication between the clans was far more complicated than on the foreign battlefield. In comparison, he preferred the foreign battlefield. It was more direct and purer.

The sound of footsteps rang out.

It was Diego who moved to the card seat, and Leon frowned. Just as he was about to get up, Alan pressed down on him. Diego Shi Ran walked to the deck and exaggeratedly said, "This is great. It turns out that Young Master Allen has returned. I thought you would never come back again. If that's the case, many people will be sad."

"Then Young Master Diego is definitely the happiest one. But now, I don't think Young Master Diego will be happy, right?" Alan didn't have Leon's scruples, so he naturally didn't have to pay attention to Diego's feelings.

As expected, Diego's expression changed slightly, but then he smiled again. But he did not entangle himself with Alan, and to the surprise of the few present, he looked at Adele, "So here is the Miss of the Morsons, Miss Adele." I really don't know where your Morsen Clan got the confidence to reject our Grant Clan's marriage. Do you really think that you can get on the Beth Cod chariot just by boarding with Alan? "If that's the case, why aren't there any movements from your two families now?"

Ever since the beginning of the party, Adele had drank alone in silence. Now that Diego said that, he raised his head and said, "Even if all the men in the world die, I will not marry you, Diego!"

Diego's expression turned ugly. He snorted coldly, "Don't think Old Kate can protect you." He can protect you for a while, can't he still protect you for the rest of your life? If anything happens to Old Kate, your family would love to send you to my bed to get our Grant's kindness. "When the time comes, I'll have a good taste of this little demon of yours!"

Just as he finished speaking, a cold killing intent suddenly enveloped Diego's body. Diego shivered on the spot, as if he had brushed past a sharp blade, and immediately retreated. Then, his gaze landed on Alan, knowing that he had triggered the killing intent.

Alan slowly looked at Diego with a calm expression, but his voice was like a cold wind whistling in the extreme. "Even without Mr. Kate, there is still me. As long as Adele is unwilling, no one can force her, including your Diego."

Jin Liancheng got an oriental folding fan from somewhere and suddenly opened it. A colorful picture was drawn on the fan. As the fan unfolded, the falling flowers all over the sky seemed to come to life, and a faint fragrance immediately rose from the seat. He shook his fan and smiled, "I'm not talented. I'm also willing to be this flower protector."

"You guys are trying to steal the show." Leon shook his head and looked at Diego. "Adele is my best friend. Diego, you'd better take your claws away. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll cut it off if I'm not careful."

The William family's young master said with a smile. Outsiders didn't know that he was joking. However, his gaze was sharp, but it didn't have the slightest hint of a joke. Diego's face turned white and green. He retreated a little and sneered, "Alright, we'll see."

Then he said to Allen, "By the way, the Federation has named the planet you discovered Heaven's Planet." Moreover, due to the abundance of resources on Planet Heaven, its level has far surpassed your Bescot's development talent. So this time, the Federation opened the planet to several other families. We, Grant, have been authorized. I am organizing an expeditionary force. I believe we can meet up on Planet Paradise soon. "

Adele's face tightened as she looked at Alan. The latter's expression was calm. Alan had expected this situation when he returned. It was impossible for the Federation to allow Bescot to monopolize a planet larger than Earth and rich in resources. Allen had even thought that the Federation would monopolize it. Now that it was open to a few other clans to participate in the colonial development, it was much better than he had expected.

He smiled and said, "Welcome, but I would like to remind Young Master Diego that the natives on that planet are not very friendly. Young Master Diego must be careful of losing all his money."

"The one to worry about is you. Pray that you don't get hit by me on Planet Heaven." With these words, Diego embraced beauty and left. josei

Looking at his back, Ellen shook his head and said, "I wish I could meet him, so I can get an extra sum of money from Grant's family, right?"

Leon laughed and raised his glass. "Come, let's not talk about the unpleasant things. Drink!"

At the end of the party, Adele was already drunk. She drank a lot, which made her unhappy. For this reason, Allen and the others were helpless. Alan was responsible for sending Adele back when she left. On the way to Morsen's house, Adele leaned against Ellen's shoulder, half drunk and half awake. Alcohol made Adele's face flush and her appearance charming. She frowns from time to time, and I feel sorry for her.

The car stopped by a mall leading to the Morsons' house, and Adele pushed open the door and staggered out. As the night wind blew by, she couldn't help but vomit on the roadside. Alan hurriedly patted her back, but she cried when she saw Adele vomiting until the end. "Don't be sad, Adele," he sighed. "Just like I said, even if the family doesn't protect you, you still have me. Lian Cheng and Leon and the others, we will protect you."

Adele shook her head, took out a tissue from her bag and wiped her eyes. "You don't understand," she said, standing up.

She staggered forward, and Alan followed to support her. Adele looked at him and leaned against him, saying, "One night, grandpa asked me if I really loved you."

Alan's body trembled slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Adele smiled self-deprecatingly, "I thought for a long time that night and found that I had been pestering you from beginning to end. I never thought that I would love you. Perhaps you don't know that even the city came to find me before our expedition. Although his words were different, they were similar to his grandfather's. However, I didn't think much about it at that time and didn't want to pay any attention to it. I just want to borrow you to leave the clan and escape from my obligations as a woman in the clan. In fact, using you to gain greater power … "

'"I'm desperate to catch something. I've been like this since I was sensible. I stepped on someone else's shoulder to see the scenery further away. So you see, this kind of me is not worthy of your promises just now." Adele held Ellen's hand tightly and buried her head low, "I've always been afraid that you'd find out about this. If you knew, you'd hate me. I don't know if I love you, either, but the thought of not being with you makes me sad."

"Alan, what exactly should I do …"

On this slightly cold night, the girl known as the Goblin took off all her disguise and showed her weakness without reservation. At this moment, Alan could feel her helplessness and helplessness. He took a deep breath and said, "Adele, I am glad you have spoken so that I can hear you. What I want to tell you is that we can still explore and take risks together as long as you like. I promise that no other person or thing will interfere with your wishes."

"As long as you're willing!"
