"Are we friends?" Anne sneered, then turned cold a little bit, looked directly at Claire and said, "No, we are not friends, and our Pangbo family has no friends.

Every one of you thinks of us, the Pompeos, as the cancer, the tyrannical rulers, the greedy profit-takers of St. Louis, and that's exactly what we are. How can we have friends like this? There are only enemies and... potential enemies. "

While speaking, Annie stood up, approached Claire step by step, looked directly at him and asked, "I want to ask you now, are you going to be a potential enemy of our Pangbo family, or an enemy directly?"

Claire's eyes widened, and she was a little frightened by Annie's momentum. She got up with a pale face, stepped back to the door and said, "Annie, you misunderstood me, I just want you to do me a favor, not to provoke you Yours. You... Don't be angry, eat slowly, I still have something to do, so let's go first. "

After speaking, Claire quickly slipped out the door and disappeared.

There was silence in the room.

"boom!"

A few seconds after Claire left, Annie walked back to her seat and sat down heavily, with a somewhat unfriendly expression on her face, like a powder keg that exploded at the slightest touch.

Brando wanted to flatter him, but looking at Li Cha, who was as unresponsive as a piece of wood, he opened his mouth and took back what he wanted to say.

Who knows, Anne took the initiative to speak out at this time.

It seemed to be talking to Richard and Brando, and it seemed to be talking to himself.

Looking at the cloud of air in front of her, Annie said slowly: "I've known for a long time that the Pangbo family's reputation in St. Louis City is not good, and they resemble evil characters in some knight novels.

However, in order to ensure continued survival, the Pangbo family had to do this. Because once we are weak and shrink back, someone will jump up and try to challenge us, they will try to defeat us and get the wealth accumulated by our family. "

"The strong prey on the weak." Li Cha said suddenly.

"Huh?" Hearing Li Cha's words, Annie was obviously surprised, and took a deep look at Li Cha, "I thought you were dumb, but what you said... the strong prey on the weak does make sense. Yes, the strong prey on the weak .

This world is like this, the weak are destined to be swallowed up by the strong. If you want not to annex, you have to annex others. It is cruel, but it is also very real. That's why our Pangbo family treats other forces in St. Louis City so harshly, and continues to grow ourselves.

But the problem is that the more you go down this road and the stronger you become, the more people will covet you and the more enemies you will provoke. In order to prevent everyone from uniting against us, we must be majestic enough to frighten a group of cowards, and we must be evil.

I think, one day, our Pangbo family will definitely be retaliated for our actions, just like I was assassinated yesterday. But there is only one way to go..."

In the end, Anne's voice became smaller and smaller, almost only she could hear it.

After a few minutes of silence, Anne let out a long breath, her expression became calm, and she returned to Miss Anne's cold look, she looked at Brando and curled her lips and said, "Hey, go tell the people in the restaurant and ask them to do it again. The table food is served."

"Ah?" Brando was taken aback, and looked at the dishes on the dining table in the room—it was indeed a bit cold after the delay of Clare, the man in purple, but it was not impossible to eat. Most importantly, these dishes were very delicious. Expensive.

"What about these meals?" Brando asked after swallowing, looking directly at the plates on the table.

"What do you want to do?" Annie asked.

"I'm not hungry." Brando replied almost without thinking, and then he came to his senses and said falteringly, "That's what I mean, I don't know what to do."

During the speech, Brando's stomach was very puzzled, and there was a "gudong" sound.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

"Well, I'm going to tell the people in the restaurant to make another table and bring it up.

"Brando said, and quickly left the room.

Annie watched Brando leave, blinked her eyes, and said nothing.

Although she may feel emotional occasionally, she is definitely not weak, let alone kind.

She was what she was—Anne Pombo, the ruthless young lady of the Pombo family.

...

In a blink of an eye, an hour later.

It was already dark, and Anne, Brando, and Richard appeared in a four-wheeled carriage, drove outside the city of St. Louis, and headed towards an unknown direction.

Anne sat on the innermost cushion of the carriage, with a food box in hand. The food box has five layers and is more than half a meter high. It is elegantly shaped and has excellent thermal insulation performance. Inside it is the new meal that Anne asked Brando to order from the restaurant. After the meal was ready, Annie did not choose to eat it herself. Instead, let the restaurant be packed into a food box, put on the carriage, and come all the way here.

Why did he do this? Brando asked a lot, but Anne gave a very "gentle" answer.

"It's none of your business, shut up!"

Brando: "..."

"Gululu..."

The carriage continued to move forward under the driver of the groom, and finally stopped in front of a manor.

Li Cha looked, and in the blurred night, he found that the whole manor was a bit dilapidated, with only a few stone buildings standing upright. But the area is huge, almost four or five times the size of his Blue Lake Manor. There is a real lake and a large lush forest, and occasionally hares can be seen coming and going, just like a closed wildlife park.

This is?

Li Cha was wondering when Annie got out of the carriage with the food box. As soon as her feet touched the ground, a bright red light suddenly flashed in the distant night, followed by a loud explosion.

"boom!"

It was as if there had been an explosion.

The groom showed a flustered expression.

Brando immediately jumped out of the car, protecting Annie's expression very competently, and looked vigilantly at the place where the red light and the explosion sound came from.

Li Cha also jumped out of the car, looked in the same direction, and squinted slightly.

Annie's expression was calm, she glanced at Brando, Richard and the groom and said, "Don't panic, we are not enemies."

"What's that?" Brando asked.

"It's a magic knight camp where our family is stationed on the side of the manor. The sound just now should be from their training." Annie explained.

"Is that so?" Brando nodded, suddenly realizing.

Li Cha was thinking more: a magic knight camp, stationed outside the city? There's nothing wrong with being stationed outside the city, but there's something wrong with being stationed near a nearly deserted manor. After all, this manor can't provide any supplies at first glance, and it won't be too convenient to transport it from other places, which is a bit weird.

Thinking of this, Annie walked towards the manor with the food box in hand.

Brando and Li Cha were about to follow, when they heard Annie say in the next moment: "You two and the groom wait here, watch the carriage, I can go in by myself, and I will come out later."

"Huh?" Brando and Li Cha were puzzled.

Annie didn't give an explanation, and stepped into the gate of the manor.
