What To Do if You Can’t Win? You Can Only Choose Strategy

Chapter 72 The Daughter Of The Gloucester Family

At the door, Su Bei took out the key and opened the door to Elena's house, took off his shoes and entered the hall.

I didn't hear Elena's welcoming voice, and certainly didn't expect to hear it.

After hearing the sound of the door opening, Elena also knew that Su Bei was coming.

Because Jasmine is still in school at this point.

Despite this, Elena still didn't move, not even trying to pull down the skirt that was open to her thighs.

Even if she knew that someone was squatting in front of her at this time, she could see the sacred light.

It doesn't matter anymore.

Why don't you try it and see what it feels like to die?

Although I felt it after the blood drained away, the pain was still not enough.

It's not painful or itchy, and it seems like the blood that's flowing is not my own.

Su Bei sat on the side of the sofa where Elena was lying. From this angle, only Elena's pale face could be seen.

Then, his empty eyes glanced at him, and then he looked up at the ceiling, distracted and out of focus.

"Your sister is alive."

Elena frowned slightly, raised her head, slowly moved her eyes to the top, showed a disdainful expression, and let out a laugh.

Who are you bluffing?

"I'll go negotiate with the Duke of Gloucester in the afternoon and pick up your sister by the way. Will you go?" Su Bei continued.

Elena turned over and rolled her eyes again.

Obviously he didn't believe what Su Bei said.

If you want to live, you have lived a long time ago, and you can wait until now.

After searching the Holy Light Church that day and finding no one, Elena had long been desperate.

"It's okay if you don't go. I'll ask Jasmine to find you after school."

Su Bei had already expected Elena's reaction, so he didn't take it seriously.

Anyway, the coffin is on the way, and it won't take more than an hour or two.

As for letting Jasmine come to Elena, this is a necessary measure.

Otherwise Elena will starve to death sooner or later.

So Su Bei left the house.

After Su Bei left, Elena tilted her head.

His eyes were empty, and two tears suddenly fell.

The hand beside the leg was clenched tightly, piercing the palm and causing blood to fall out.

After a long time, she still feels extremely uncomfortable when she hears news about her sister again, even if she knows that the other person means well.

But.

She hasn't come out yet.

Not getting over the memories of the past.

——————————————————————

Su Bei first went to school to ask for leave, agreed with Jasmine on the next arrangements, and then walked towards the Lord's Mansion of Winter City.

The Lord's Mansion of Winter City is located on the most prosperous Wall Street in the Chinese District. Although it is only a few miles away from the Qu District, the level of prosperity is vastly different.

This is an area that people in Qu District would find difficult to enter even if they are busy all their lives.

After all, it’s not just the wealth gap that separates the two districts.

There's also that sad class divide.

After showing the invitation letter, Su Bei quickly entered the Chinese District.

In the Hua District, the surrounding houses are made of cement, outlined with fancy patterns, and several small magic arrays are embedded in the walls.

Every household is a villa, with a small courtyard and cute monsters, such as slimes, or cats and dogs with special bloodlines.

The residents in the Chinese District are all nobles or descendants of nobles, and at least their ancestors have been prosperous.

To live here, you must have money or power, and no matter how poor you are, you must have certain connections, otherwise you will be ashamed to live here.

This is the difference.

The security in the area is very good, and there are squads of soldiers wearing fine armor patrolling. Depending on the quality of the other party, he may be a first-order knight.

Su Bei walked towards the tallest building in the district. Although he was not dressed appropriately, he did not receive any strange looks.

There is no arrogance or prejudice. Most nobles pay attention to dignity. It is always an exception for dogs to look down on others.

This made Su Bei feel more at ease.

Thinking that he would pass by the area where Teacher Amara lived on the way, Su Bei hesitated whether to say hello.

So I bought some fruit first.

However, Su Bei failed to go in the end.

After taking a few deep breaths at the door, Su Bei thought it was better to forget it, so he left with the fruit.

After all, it's always a bad idea to drop by casually if you say hello before you have anything to do.

It should be bad.

After crossing Teacher Amara's house, Su Bei's breathing became much smoother, and his face that was slightly red from nervousness became normal.

In this way, Su Bei arrived at the Lord's Mansion of Winter City.

Su Bei took out the invitation to visit, and what greeted him was a sweet and delicate-looking elf butler.

The elf butler led him to a separate room, prepared tea and snacks, and stood beside him.

The etiquette is thoughtful and watertight.

Su Bei sat quietly, not touching the tea or snacks.

Mainly because I was a little embarrassed to be watched by the elf butler.

Su Bei always had an expressionless face. Occasionally he changed his posture and could always look at the smiling elf butler.

Can't help but feel a little strange.

Isn’t it tiring to laugh like this?

Seeing that Su Bei was a little uncomfortable, the elf butler's smile became gentler and he took the initiative to talk:

"Guests don't have to be too restrained, just eat as you please."

"Okay." Su Bei nodded, not knowing what to eat, so he picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite.

"Is the guest from Qu District? Because I was bought by the City Lord's Mansion since I was a child, and I haven't been there to see it yet." The elf butler continued: "I heard that it is also very fun there, there are not so many rules, and the prices are very high. Low."

"Yes." Su Bei nodded.

There was nothing more to say after that, which made the elf butler a little nervous, and twitched the corner of his mouth behind Su Bei's invisible side.

Then what?!

The elf butler thought for a while and continued:

"Although the Grand Duke of Gloucester has a great reputation and sounds scary, he is very kind and easy-going towards the people in his territory. He has treated Winter City, Shenghui City and Lion City freely for so many years without excessive care. He is a very humane lord who intervenes in political matters."

Isn't that just lazy?

Although he thought so in his heart, Su Bei still nodded and said, "Indeed."

Then I listened to the elf butler continue to say:

"I heard that the one who came to negotiate this time is Miss Ririko, the Grand Duke's only daughter. She is a talented and beautiful girl who is famous in the imperial capital at a young age, but almost no one has seen it."

"I heard that the other party is very majestic, smiles informally, has a cold face, and is very secretive. But these are just rumors because there is very little information about her circulating."

"I heard that this is the first time she has helped the family handle affairs, and she came with the attitude of giving a perfect answer."

"I hope your husband can have a pleasant chat with Miss Ririko then, but don't quarrel."

Su Bei nodded again, but felt a little unsure.

Headache.

This kind of person sounds difficult to deal with, cold, mysterious, and very serious.

Therefore, it is the best choice to accept the apology and leave quickly.

Su Bei sighed.

It was at this time that heavy footsteps sounded outside the house.

Unhurried and unhurried, full of pressure.

The door was opened.

What caught the eye was an elegant white gauze hat, and downwards, a dark blue dress wrapped around her immature body.

Su Bei was stunned, and suddenly he became less nervous, and instead frowned.
