The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

After the three opening dances, without a drop of sweat on Ianna's forehead, she walked up to Joyce:

"Why don't you go dancing? Is it because you haven't found the lady you like?"

Joyce casually put the wine glass on the table next to him: "Waiting for you."

Ianna heard the song and knew the elegant meaning: "Let's go upstairs to talk."

"What I wish for."

Ianna led the way, and Joyce followed behind. They stepped onto the exquisite solid wood stairs, looked down from the corridor on the second floor, and found Major General Bright staring at him coldly. He smiled thoughtfully.

.

The room was filled with a faint fragrance, pushing hard into the nostrils, making people think of exercising on the bed.

Good guy, the charm potion is used as incense, and it is indeed a "witch"... If I hadn't given myself a psychological hint in advance, I'm afraid my body would have reacted.

Joyce sat calmly on the chair and observed the decoration in the room:

"Is this your bedroom?"

"That's right." Ianna picked up the wine glass: "What do you want to drink?"

"casual."

Ianna poured two glasses of "Almir" and pushed them to the opposite side:

"I think the current atmosphere is more suitable for drinking red wine."

Joyce leaned on the back of his chair and said eloquently:

"I thought it would be Major General Bright talking to me, but it seems you are the one who makes the decision."

Yianna chuckled twice: "We are a cooperative relationship, there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates."

"Are you cooperating in human trafficking?" Joyce took a sip of red wine. It had a mellow taste, distinct layers, and endless aftertaste. "The wine is good."

"Twenty years of collection." Ianna tilted her head, showed a playful smile, stared at him and asked:

"What do you know?"

Joyce sneered twice: "I know everything I need to know, and I don't know anything I shouldn't know..."

"For example, where is the list now? Even if you kill me to channel, you won't get any results."

Instead of being angry, Yianna asked with interest:

"Who taught you these words, the man who killed Diego?"

Joyce was unmoved: "Guess."

"Well, since you are straightforward, I won't beat around the bush." ​​Ianna asked seriously:

"What do you want? Or what does 'he' want?"

"I want you to hand over William's murderer."

Joyce said with gritted teeth and hatred, half true and half pretending, but this emotion is easier to believe.

"Diego has been killed by you." Ianna said nonchalantly, picking up the wine glass and shaking it, letting the red wine stain the entire wall of the glass.

"You mean Diego is the murderer..." Joyce was stunned for a second and asked sharply: "Do you think I'm a fool?"

Ianna repeated honestly: "That's the truth. The scar on Diego's face was left by William."

Noticing Joyce's still disbelieving, skeptical look, she added:

"But, although the main criminal was killed by you, there is still another accomplice."

"I want his life." Joyce said in a cold tone.

Ianna said nonchalantly: "Okay, I'll give him to you, and you will give me the list?"

"How can anything be so cheap..." Joyce sneered, leaning forward, his voice became softer, but he said extremely fiercely:

"I also want 30% of your proceeds from human trafficking!"

As soon as these words came out, the room fell into a deathly silence, and the passionate music from downstairs reached their ears for the first time.

…………

What Joyce is currently saying and doing is not only contrary to the plan made by Emily, but also has nothing to do with it.

Emily hopes that Joyce will use "beauty" to seduce Ianna and gain the latter's trust... But she doesn't know that there is an irreconcilable conflict between Joyce and Ianna.

Ianna believed that there was a mysterious figure behind Joyce, or that forces were helping him for an unknown purpose... However, what she didn't understand was that this "mysterious man" was completely unfounded, and Joyce was having sex with her former "wife"

Cooperation and conspiracy.

Joyce is like a converter, passing information between Emily and Ianna, and both of them think the story is as they see it.

This is a beautiful misunderstanding, a situation Joyce actively created.

…………

For the first time, Ianna fell into confusion and even stopped thinking briefly. She had thought that Joyce was a "William-like" figure, but she did not expect that he would make such a request, which was really unexpected.

As long as he doesn't just want to kill everything... Ianna resumed thinking: "Is this your request, or..."

"Stop your tempting behavior." Joyce interrupted: "You can only choose to accept my conditions or accept the trial."

Yianna pondered for a while and said: "At most half percent, you have no idea how much profit there is."

With such ridiculous profits, will George III pay you a salary? A big liar who lies without blinking an eye... Well, I seem to be lying too, so that's okay... Joyce backed down:

"Twenty percent, at least."

Yianna continued to lower the price and said: "At most 10%, otherwise I can't explain it to others. You don't think I can control such a big business by myself, do you?"

The two scammers were pretending to bargain here, but in fact no one wanted to keep their promise... Cash was more straightforward. Joyce was silent for a moment:

"Okay, 10% for 10%, but you have to give me 10,000 pounds as a deposit first."

"Ten thousand pounds!" Ianna said loudly: "Where can I get you ten thousand pounds in a short time?"

"That's your problem." Joyce said the final bottom line: "Ten thousand pounds, plus the murderer's head, when will it be ready, and when will I hand over the list to you."

"Okay, I'll go collect it, but I want the original list, and you can't keep a copy." Ianna agreed solemnly and put forward her request.

Joyce smiled and said, "I believe you have a way to verify it."

Yianna regained her composure: "Aren't you afraid that I will turn against you once I get the list?"

Joyce stood up, pretended to leave, and said meaningfully:

"You have powerful support behind you, and I am not alone. If you want to turn against me, then no one can succeed in this human trafficking business."

"For such a big benefit, it's worth taking some risks."

Ianna also stood up: "In some traits, you and William are very similar, but in some aspects they are completely different."

"William is my father, but he is dead and I am still alive," Joyce said.

Yianna clapped her hands and applauded: "This sentence is accurate. Since ancient times, those who understand the current affairs are heroes."

"Perhaps, we will really become close partners when Chitan meets each other."

No, I have a better choice... Joyce said without looking back: "Let's wait until the day when we turn enemies into friends."

…………

Soon after, Brett walked into the room, saw Ianna with a thoughtful face, and asked:

"How's it going?"

Yianna looked up and commented:

"This is a much smarter and more dangerous character for William."
