Please listen to the voice of black magic

Seeing Veronica and her people blocking the door, Roderick felt a little bitter, but now he could only find a way to convince them.

This time, Roderick finally smoothly recounted his personal experiences.

Veronica had lost her smile, and the two people around her looked worse and worse.

"Mom, this is..."

Paige. Buck was hurriedly found by his mother. She was not told what happened, only that something serious happened.

But she didn't expect it to be something of this level!

It sounds so ridiculous and fake, Trinidad. It is unbelievable that Nares would actually attack his own family.

"is this real?"

"I also want to know……"

Veronica shook her head slightly.

"You and I both know what kind of person Roderick is. What he said should be the truth. Besides, even if you lie about this kind of thing, you can't hide it for long... although I don't want to believe it..."

Caleb on the other side. Ruth was silent.

Veronica let out a small breath.

"Rodrick, I think what you said is true..."

Rodrick didn't feel happy because the other party expressed his belief. The attitude of the beautiful woman in front of him clearly didn't seem like she wanted to help.

"But, in this case, we will no longer be able to act at will."

Veronica frowned and tapped her left foot up and down subconsciously.

"Rodrick, I don't know if our family master is crazy, but do you really think we can do anything? Now that we have lost our backbone, we cannot act rashly."

"I know, of course I know it will be dangerous to act rashly, but for the sake of the family..."

It was not that Roderick didn't understand the thoughts of the beautiful woman in front of him. The current situation was completely unclear. It was normal for him to want to make a decision before taking action.

However, he didn't feel that he had extra time to observe the situation now. He wanted to mobilize his manpower immediately, go back to the Nares mansion, find his grandfather and ask everything clearly.

"Rodrick, you are the Nares family, but we are not."

Veronica expressionlessly interrupted the second half of Roderick's appeal.

"We only have more than thirty people here, and the weapons and firepower can only be considered average. Even if we call everyone together, they may not be obedient, not to mention, Ethan is no longer here..."

Roderick's breath hitched.

Veronica has made it clear that she has no intention of taking the lead at this point in time.

"I have no way of knowing what will happen next. Everything is too strange, but I must protect other people here now."

Roderick was naturally very disappointed when he heard this clear rejection.

But he didn't intend to give up just like that. He wanted to continue trying to convince the other party.

There are only a few family members he is familiar with, and the only one who can possibly borrow power at this moment is his uncle Ethan's territory.

If he left like this, Roderick didn't know what to do next.

"Rodrick, I know you are unwilling to give up, but I think it's best for you to stay here."

Before Rodrick could continue to lobby, Veronica made her next move.

The beautifully dressed woman nodded to the strong man next to her.

Caleb, who has dark skin and muscles all over his body. Ruth, wordlessly took a step forward.

"Rodrick, I don't want to hurt you, I just want you to stay here for the time being. Please, I don't want more accidents to happen."

"Miss Buck, you..."

Seeing the strong man's threatening figure in front of him, Roderick couldn't help but take a step back.

Roderick had expected that his persuasion would completely fail, or even be controlled in turn.

But even if he was mentally prepared, facing this situation still made him feel lost and painful.

"No, Veronica Barker, the idea of ​​waiting and waiting is wrong. You must help immediately."

Just as the atmosphere in the office became increasingly tense, Annan, who had been keeping quiet, stood up.

The eyes of everyone present immediately fell on him.

"Miss Veronica, do you know? I think you don't know that what happened at the Nares family's banquet today may be related to black magic."

When Roderick saw his companion suddenly speaking, he subconsciously wanted to stop him at first. However, he quickly changed his mind and thought that the current situation could not get worse. He might as well let the other party give it a try and see. Can the three Veronicas' minds be changed?

Annan didn't seem to want to use force, but was planning to use words to persuade, so that unnecessary bloodshed would not occur.

If Annan's words angered Veronica, Roderick would naturally stop her immediately.

"……so?"

Veronica frowned and stared at Annan sharply.

"Even if it has something to do with dark magic, so what? And, who are you?"

"Me? You can call me Annan."

Annan grinned.

"Hey, Miss Veronica, stop pretending. You are obviously paying attention to me all the time. I mean, the arrival of the White Knight."

Veronica was silent.

"The White Knight came to this city not long ago. You must know it. If you don't know, then I will be very surprised how you are alive until now."

No matter how slow Roderick was, he noticed some key points in Annan's words.

He was slightly shaken, but he still endured it and let the companion next to him continue his speech.

"Generally speaking, white knights will not pay attention to cases that are not related to black magic. I think you should be very clear without me explaining this. So, now the question arises. More than 60 people died tonight. Will the Si family’s affairs attract the attention of the White Knight?”

Annan's eyes moved little by little, looking at the three people in front of him one by one.

"Even if Trinidad Nares had the ability to hide what happened tonight, he wouldn't be able to hide it for long. So many people have died. Nares is the biggest gangster in the local area, and there are no more high-ups. Personnel will soon be noticed by interested people, and sooner or later it will cause a big fuss."

"……I do not understand what you are saying."

Veronica's tone was calm.

"What happened to the Nares family, even if it really attracts the attention of the White Knights, will not have any impact. They will not interfere in such...civilian criminal cases."

"No, it will, it will definitely happen, you three, think about it, if the White Knight starts an investigation, then checks and finds you, guess what will happen?"

Annan winked at the three people in front of him.

"I said, you three, you don't want the White Knight to know your true identity, right?"
