Colonial Suit

Carrie's voice echoed in the air, and Eileen on the opposite side was stunned.

She didn't know who Miss Carrie was talking to. Looking around, she and the young lady were the only ones left in the entire room.

However, her doubts only lasted for a short while, as she saw the shadows in the room swaying, and a familiar figure walked out...

"Sigh..." Blood瞳 sighed. "I don't have any malicious intentions. Why did you have to force me to come out?"

"It is said that someone secretly sneaked into the Song of the Rain Night today. That person is you, right?" Miss Carrie was not surprised by Blood瞳's appearance and blew out a smoke ring.

She is the eldest lady of the Romick family. Although the Romick family is not a combat family, every direct descendant has a special ability. Carrie's ability is extrasensory perception. It is precisely because of this that she can discover Blood瞳, who even a meteor-level expert could not detect.

Looking at the seemingly ordinary man in front of her, Carrie's heart was not as calm as it appeared.

She knew that she had just walked on the edge of life and death.

Just now, when the second butler was about to drag Eileen out, she felt a burst of killing intent. This killing intent was so subtle that she would not have been able to detect it if she didn't possess extrasensory perception. And it was because of this killing intent that Carrie changed her mind without hesitation.

Because she is the eldest lady of the Romick family, and the Romick people are better at making choices than anyone else. And Carrie is the best of them all.

Now she knows she made the right choice. She saw death in Blood瞳's eyes.

Because of her extrasensory perception, Carrie has seen more than others since she was a child. She can see souls that have just left the body, communicate with strange spiritual entities, and even talk to other people's subconscious minds to manipulate them. But what she can see in Blood瞳's eyes right now is a sea of ​​rolling blood. The pungent bloody smell was so real that it shook Carrie's mind.

What a terrible killing intent... If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Carrie would have found it hard to believe that anyone could reach this level. Although this man looks ordinary, the killing intent on his body is like hell. Carrie could even see the people he had killed before rolling and wailing in the sea of ​​blood...

Her vision blurred for a moment, and Carrie rubbed her eyebrows with a headache, forcibly withdrawing herself from the extrasensory perception state. Immediately afterwards, she took out a small bottle from her close-fitting clothes and poured out a pill to swallow.

The severe headache began to subside. Carrie took a deep breath. She looked directly at Blood瞳 opposite her.

"You have utilized the switching of light and shadow to this extent. You are truly a master."

"It's just instinct," Blood瞳 shrugged. "If you're used to being surrounded by beasts, you won't be surprised by this."

"Unfortunately, I don't like beasts," Carrie said lightly. Her bewitching eyes stared at Blood瞳, as if assessing something.

Blood瞳 behaved very ordinarily, but the more ordinary he was, the more terrifying Carrie found him. She trusted her extrasensory perception, so she clearly knew what kind of horror was hidden beneath Blood瞳's ordinary appearance.

After a while, Carrie looked away and glanced at Eileen next to her.

Eileen was already frightened. She looked at Blood瞳's appearance in horror, and saw Blood瞳 and Miss Carrie talking on equal terms. Her whole person was as dull as a wooden sculpture. She didn't know how Blood瞳 followed, but one thing was very clear. If it weren't for Blood瞳's timely appearance, she would have been dragged away by the second butler.

"It's nothing to do with you, you can go out," Carrie ordered, seeing Eileen's current fear and unease.

Now that Blood瞳 has appeared, Carrie doesn't mind letting this little maid go. After all, the other party is not even considered an ant in her eyes. It is most appropriate to use her to dissipate Blood瞳's killing intent.

Sure enough, as Eileen walked out of the room. Carrie felt that Blood瞳 had become a little gentler. The faint tingling sensation also disappeared.

"I still don't know your name."

"Just call me Blood瞳. I am a mercenary," Blood瞳 replied with a smile, not concealing anything.

He didn't mind revealing his identity. Because cosmic mercenaries belong to the 'righteous' side. They have extensive cooperative relationships in the universe. Moreover, with this identity, Blood瞳 also has the public identity from the fourth to seventh worlds. He is protected by law in any world.

Carrie also knew this very well, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

She was most afraid that Blood瞳's identity was unknown. If Blood瞳 did not belong to any known force, then keeping such a powerful warrior by her side would undoubtedly be very dangerous. But Blood瞳 is a cosmic mercenary, which means that he will abide by the laws of the universe. This reassured Carrie a lot.

Although she knew that even cosmic mercenaries had dangerous guys, they were still much better than those unreasonable space pirates.

Understanding this, Carrie relaxed. She picked up her slender lady's cigarette again.

But no one lit it for her...

She was stunned for a moment before remembering that everyone had been kicked out by her. There wasn't even anyone to serve her. Just as she was feeling a little annoyed, she saw Blood瞳 extend a finger to her.

The next moment, a black flame flashed at Blood瞳's fingertips, lighting the cigarette at her fingertips.

"Battle momentum..." Carrie was stunned.

As the eldest lady of the Romick family, she can be considered knowledgeable. But she had never seen anyone use battle momentum to do this. It immediately gave her a sense of absurdity.

On the contrary, Blood瞳 shrugged indifferently. Then he stood up and naturally took a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet next to him.

"Don't mind, whether it's battle momentum or something else, it has to be used to have value," Blood瞳 said calmly, then poured a glass of wine.

"Would you like a glass?"

"Ah... no... please go ahead," Carrie was still a little dazed. Perhaps in her mind, she had never thought that someone would use battle momentum in this way. And what shocked her even more was Blood瞳's precise grasp of the battle momentum. It actually reached a point where it was not bad at all.

Such a method is too terrifying.

In shock, Carrie watched Blood瞳 drink the wine in one gulp. Then he showed a satisfied look. "Good taste."

"It's Gatley tequila, a top-quality product from the fifth world," Carrie paused for a moment, then put the cigarette in her lips and returned to her charming appearance.

"I know," Blood瞳 nodded. "The eldest lady of the Romick family, the first in line of succession. Of course, it is impossible to collect ordinary wine."

The Romick family is a matriarchal family, with women dominating. Blood瞳 had already learned this from Eileen. In fact, if Carrie's status was not important, she would not have been able to use this Song of the Rain Night.

"Mr. Blood瞳... since you have come to my ship. Can you tell me your next plan?"

"No plans," Blood瞳 poured himself another glass of wine and answered without looking up. "I will leave when I reach the next spaceport."

"Oh?" Carrie's eyes lit up. Her body also straightened slightly. "So, you don't have any missions right now?"

"Not for the time being," Blood瞳 said truthfully. He didn't want to hide anything in this regard. "I just participated in the T6 war some time ago, so I need to rest now."

"I've heard about that war too," Carrie narrowed her eyes. "It is said that the cosmic mercenaries had the upper hand?"

"I was seriously injured and unconscious. I don't know what happened later."

"That's a pity," Carrie took a puff of smoke and then blew out a smoke ring.

Watching the smoke ring dissipate in the air, her eyes suddenly became confused. After a while, she suddenly said, "Although this request is a bit presumptuous. But I wonder if I can ask Mr. Blood瞳 to do me a favor?"

"Help?"

"That's right," Carrie blew out another smoke ring, then put out the cigarette butt. Only then did she look at Blood瞳 seriously. "I hope you can protect me for a while. Just consider it my commission. I originally wanted to propose it to the Mercenary Headquarters, but since you are on my ship, then it is more appropriate."

"Protect?" Blood瞳 was slightly taken aback, then a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. "If I'm not mistaken, the guards on your ship... seem to be quite strong."

"That's true," Carrie admitted unceremoniously. "They are all protection candidates prepared by my mother for me, and each one is an elite of the family."

"Then why do you need my help?"

"Hehe..." Speaking of this, Carrie suddenly laughed. The laughter grew louder and louder, to the point that her whole body trembled. Her snow-white breasts rippled in layers, looking extremely promiscuous.

Blood瞳 didn't even look at it, his expression still calm and natural.

After a long while, Carrie stopped laughing. A glimmer of light appeared in the corner of her eye. "Mr. Blood瞳... those are the guards my mother sent me. She sent them... do you understand?"

"..." Blood瞳 fell silent, and at the same time vaguely understood what Carrie meant.

"Hmph..." Carrie sneered. "Mr. Blood瞳, this is a formal commission. As long as you can protect me for a while. You may not know, my mother has arranged an encounter for me in Golden Paradise. As long as I arrive there, I will disappear from the Romick family's list without realizing it."

"It's really wonderful, isn't it? I don't think anyone will suspect my mother. She can still be her queen and control everything in the Romick family."

"It's a pity that she didn't expect that I would meet you here. Mr. Blood瞳, are you willing to accept my commission?"

After speaking, Carrie looked at Blood瞳 with hopeful eyes.

Speaking of which, her encounter with Blood瞳 was an accident, but it was this accident that allowed Carrie to see hope. After all, she knew about this trip too late. When she learned the truth, she was already under the surveillance of the family guards. Although she also has her own power, it takes time to mobilize these forces.

And what she lacks is precisely time.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy. Blood瞳 just lowered his head and drank in silence, without saying a word. Carrie was not in a hurry and just watched him quietly.

After a long time. Blood瞳 drank the wine. Then he said calmly. "My price is very high."

"No one can give a higher price than me," Carrie smiled and answered seriously.
