Romance of Gods

Chapter 156 Bartender IV

The story told by Darwin fits Chen Yan's guess about the relationship between Luna and Cress.

But after solving this question, even greater confusion followed.

For example, after the three Kress fell into the sea, what was the origin of the treasure place they went to.

What did Kress see during his solo actions later that prompted him to issue an early warning that "the sky is falling"?

No matter then or now, everyone related to the Clara went to Clays Manor today.

Could the most important connection be related to what Kress saw back then?
Everything was definitely not an accident. Chen Yan frowned and thought. The most critical key might be hidden in Kress.

Darwin said solemnly: "Seeing that he is about to leave London now, I really can't bear to say this. The treasure was obviously discovered by the three of us together. Why is it that only Cress can enjoy the glory and wealth alone?"

Chen Yan knew that the drama of amnesia could be stopped here. He rubbed his temples and said calmly: "I seem to have remembered it. After you said this, some scattered and vague images in my mind now have concrete details." Picture...Cress is our enemy!"

When Darwin heard this, he leaned over and grabbed Chen Yan's shoulders, his expression uncontrollably excited.

"Thank God, Kim, you finally remembered! What about my revenge plan?"

Chen Yan smiled and agreed, "Kress must pay the price."

Darwin nodded slowly, and suddenly there was another layer of shadow on his face, "But what should we do? The Kress family has a big business, so there must be many people protecting him and trying to get close to him without anyone noticing. , it’s a bit difficult.”

Chen Yan sneered in his heart, this Darwin had lived for such a long time, but he was still a fool, he didn't even have a plan, he just wanted to vent his anger and kill people.

"We don't need any plan, just enter the manor, find Cress, kill him, and everything is done."

"Is it too reckless?"

"Brother, remember one thing, the more precise the parts are, the more likely they are to have problems."

Chen Yan's calm and composed attitude made Darwin feel a little ashamed.

What he didn't know was that Chen Yan had already entered the palace for the second time.

According to the current situation, walking in directly from the gate is the best way.

Darwin grabbed Chen Yan's remaining half bottle of red wine and drank it all in one gulp. His face turned red and he shouted: "Done!"

Then, the two of them left the Nightingale Tavern.

Darwin had some money, so he rented a three-horse express and drove them towards the northern suburbs of London.

Chen Yan sat on the wide seat with his legs crossed, looking at the dark road ahead, relaxed.

Although the time during the day would fluctuate wildly, he was in no rush this time.

Based on the previous two experiences, he knew when the story should be played. No matter how many coincidences happened, it would definitely happen at that time.

Darwin entered Cress Manor obviously earlier than the pirates and wanderers, so he was not worried about not seeing Cress this time.

When the carriage passed through the sun-blocking sycamore forest and arrived at the manor with the locked iron gate, Chen Yan glanced at the patchy sky above his head.

Behind the thick fog, there was an outline of the sun like frosted glass hanging in the sky. He asked casually: "What time is it?"

"Ah?" Darwin looked at him nervously and hurriedly took out his pocket watch, "Eleven o'clock."

Chen Yan nodded, it was a normal time and no jump had occurred today.

When they got off the car and walked towards the entangled iron gate, several other teams preparing to go to Clays Manor were still circling in the city.

The pirate leader Zheng E and his three men have not been able to escape the pursuit of the Chimney Party.

The new friend of the homeless man Li participated in the tomb robbing plan with them.

But this young man who calls himself a "Taoist priest" heard that demons were to be slain and was currently collecting exorcism items all over the city.

By the time they arrived at Clays Manor, it might be evening.

……

In front of the cold iron door, Chen Yan and Darwin stood side by side.

Darwin looked at the houses and villas in front of him hidden behind the fog, and his decisive murderous intention suddenly trembled.

He seemed to be dazzled, seeing those tall buildings as beasts with snarling teeth and claws.

His Adam's apple rolled up and down, "What should we do next? Should we just break in?"

It was obvious that he came to seek revenge with Chen Yan, but now he had no idea at all.

With this little bit of courage, would he dare to kill Kress?
Chen Yan lowered his head and looked at his hands, then thought of the body lying in the compartment. Could it be that he was the one who killed him in the end?

The matter is not clear yet, so we cannot jump to conclusions.

After all, before the last night, someone attacked him from behind. The identity of this mysterious person was unknown to him now.

"Here we come! Someone is coming!"

Darwin suddenly shouted and quickly held the dagger in his pocket.

Chen Yan looked around and saw a tall white figure walking slowly and elegantly.

【Molly·62 years old·Housekeeper】

Darwin looked at Chen Yan, "Why aren't you nervous at all... Damn it, I really found the right person this time, Jin, you are still as ruthless as before."

After he finished speaking, he took two steps back, leaving Chen Yan to face the visitor alone.Molly stopped behind the door, looking at the visitor mechanically with her yellow eyes. Her wrinkles seemed to have weathered, and there was no extra expression.

After a few seconds, she said coldly, "I remember you. You were here more than ten years ago."

It was recognized!
Goosebumps all over Darwin's body. He suddenly rushed out from behind Chen Yan in a manner that looked like he was breaking a pot. He slammed his body on the iron door, passed the dagger through the railing, and yelled bluffingly: "If you know what's going on, just open the door!" Open it, or I’ll kill you first!”

Molly looked at him pitifully, "You shouldn't be here, but since you are here, please come in."

When the door opened, Darwin flinched.

Chen Yan said calmly: "Madam, since you knew that we came here with bad intentions and still opened the door, you couldn't have set a trap in front of us, right?"

Molly smiled and said: "You are friends of the master and distinguished guests in the house. Of course I will not offend you."

"Ha! Now he admits that we are his friends. When he used sticks to drive us away, he never mentioned these two words!"

Molly didn't want to explain any more, "The master is waiting for you in the living room."

Chen Yan's face darkened slightly, "Does Clais know we are coming?"

Molly shook her head, "He's waiting for you every day."

Then she turned around and walked deeper into the manor.

Darwin gritted his teeth and muttered, "Hypocritical, just wait for death, Cleese..."

Deep in the manor, in the castle, there is a hall on the first floor.

The fireplace crackled and burned, emitting the intoxicating aroma of pine.

The burly middle-aged man was sitting in a lounge chair in front of the fire, flipping through a collection of novels.

His face was majestic, and his long white hair hanging down to his chin was hard and rough.

Suddenly, the light in the room dimmed.

The man put down the book, turned to look at the three people outside the door, and said with a smile: "Darwin, Jin, you are here."

[Leske Shelton (56 years old, businessman)]

Chen Yan raised his eyebrows, he finally saw someone alive this time.

Darwin was on tenterhooks all the way, but he didn't expect to see Cress unexpectedly.

"Cress! Despicable villain, your death has come! Kim!"

He greeted Chen Yan, his eyes were red with anger, and he quickly walked towards Kress with a knife.

Chen Yan knew that Darwin would never dare to kill someone.

He just stood there and watched quietly, while Molly also looked on coldly and didn't care.

Faced with the approaching blade, Kress not only did not react, but also looked forward to it, and even stood up.

"what!"

Bang~
When Darwin was about to pierce the dagger into Cleese's heart, a strong wind appeared out of thin air and knocked him to the ground.

Clais was disappointed when he saw this, shook his head, sighed, and sat down again.

When Darwin saw that he had not killed anyone, he felt both happy and disappointed.

Chen Yan thought to himself, is it the "angel" in the manor who is protecting Kress?

Darwin yelled: "Cress, you bastard! What kind of magic did you cast!"

"Molly, serve tea to these two friends." Clais' voice was quite sincere, "Darwin, I admit that I'm sorry for you. If I do it again, I will never take that treasure alone... Now in this manor You can take everything away as my compensation to you."

Hearing this, Darwin's murderous intention immediately disappeared a lot. He had a decent job, and if he could get a sum of money, it would be much more cost-effective than being a murderer.

But his words were still tough, "Can money buy time? Do you know what kind of pain Jin and I have experienced over the years!"

After that, he lifted up his sweater again to show off his rotten skin.

"After we left the sea, we were cursed, and life was worse than death every day! And you, after so many years of unrestrained life, it was all your fault!"

Chen Yan observed the changes in Kress's expression. When he saw Darwin's abdomen, he was not shocked, but there was some envy in his eyebrows.

He said calmly: "This is a curse, Darwin. Do you think I can survive alone?"

Darwin was startled, "What...what do you mean?"

Chen Yan stepped forward and asked the question straight to the point: "Tell me, Cleese, what did you see in the sea?"

Kress looked at Chen Yan and said loudly, "I saw a woman, a corpse to be precise. When I found her, she was lying in a coffin."

woman?

Kress let out a long breath and leaned back on the chair to relax, "I swear, until now, I have never seen such a beautiful woman.

I couldn't help but look closer, but the woman's eyes suddenly opened, and countless horrific images came into my eyes. "

Both Chen Yan and Chen Yan sat down, "What are those pictures talking about?"

Kress' eyes were extremely distant and he said slowly: "I saw the collapse of the treasure land, I saw Darwin rotting into a pile of minced meat, but still alive; I saw you will be lost forever and be unable to extricate yourself. At the end of the picture, Then it will be fixed at this scene, the three of us sitting in this castle, chatting like we are doing now."
