Chapter 182 Arrogant Distant Cousin (5k)
As soon as Madam Yan Rui finished speaking, the door behind her was suddenly pushed open, and Shen Cheng, dressed in a formal suit, appeared in front of everyone.
The four ministers showed extremely surprised expressions.
They didn't expect that Mrs. Yan Rui Yan Rui had successfully invited foreign aid, and Shen Cheng, who was wearing an expensive dress, looked like an extraordinary aristocrat in their eyes, and no one dared to underestimate him.
Because they were so shocked, the four of them were speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.
They could only communicate subconsciously and implicitly with their eyes.
Shen Cheng walked in slowly, also looking at these four extraordinary vampires.
Two of the vampires were people he knew.
The first one was Lian Mo, whom Shen Cheng recognized as Wang Mu’s master and the founder of the Bright Red Dinner in Tailing City.
At the beginning, after Shen Cheng killed Wang Mu in Tailing City, he was very worried that Lian Mo would cause trouble for him, because he was still relatively weak at that time and did not dare to fight with an old-time extraordinary person like Lian Mo, so he could only hide from place to place.
I didn't expect to meet here. Now the strength of both sides is very different.
Shen Cheng used cognitive modification to change his appearance, so Lian Mo could not recognize him. Of course, he did not expect that the enemy he had been looking for would appear in front of him so openly.
Not only him, but everyone else including Madam Yan Rui did not know that Shen Cheng was the "rebel" wanted by the Scarlet Dinner.
The second vampire Shen Cheng knew was Ao Liu.
Shen Cheng had just read Chang Yaoqing's memory not long ago. In his memory, in order to strengthen his body, Chang Yaoqing entered into a cooperative transaction with a high-ranking vampire and privately provided the other party with a large number of living people.
The transaction partner was Ao Liu, who had met Chang Yaoqing several times.
Shen Cheng actually knew half of the four extraordinary vampires. It can only be said that this world is big and small at the same time.
"This is my distant cousin, who I invited to help. Since you think Hu Shan is unqualified, I will nominate him to replace Hu Shan."
Madam Yan Rui had a calm smile on her face.
With Shen Cheng as a powerful external aid, her confidence has returned, just like she has returned to the days when she just inherited her husband's power.
Ao Liu opened his mouth slightly to refute, but his words were stuck.
Because he was the first to recommend Mai Jinmei in violation of the rules, and now Madam Yan Rui followed suit and recommended Shen Cheng. How can he refute this?
Even Hoffa frowned slightly. No wonder Madam Yan Rui asked so many questions just now. It turned out that she wanted to shut him up completely.
Huo Fa just explained so much for Ao Liu, but now all of it has become Madam Yan Rui's excuse.
Seeing Huo Fa and Ao Liu looking embarrassed, Hua Jiao showed undisguised contempt on his face.
These two guys were only able to control the specific affairs of the Bright Red Dinner because of Yin Hong's trust. In essence, they were not talented people. When the two of them joined forces, their strength and power were even stronger, but they could only fight him on equal terms.
Now seeing that they were a little overwhelmed by the sudden situation, Hua Jiao looked down on them even more.
He snorted and questioned Shen Cheng: "You said you are Madam Yan Rui's cousin, why don't I believe it?"
Madam Yan Rui's expression immediately turned cold: "Hua Jiao, what do you mean?"
"Means nothing."
Hua Jiao leaned back in a less elegant posture, and said frivolously, "But we all know Mai Jinmei, who was recommended by Ao Liu, and we are very confident about her background. As for your cousin who appeared out of nowhere, it's hard not to be suspicious."
"Hua Jiao is right."
Hoffa also reacted and immediately began to question Shen Cheng's identity: "Madam, this is an internal matter of our Red Dinner. You can't just ask an outsider to interfere."
Ao Liu immediately added: "He has not yet undergone internal review, so he cannot be considered a member of the Red Dinner Party."
The two guys sang the same tune, which made Madam Yan Rui extremely angry. Such blatant double standards were obviously bullying her.
Because their doubts about Shen Cheng can be completely applied to Maggie Mei.
"boom!"
Shen Cheng suddenly slapped the table, scaring everyone.
He looked around, his face showing arrogance and contempt, and sneered: "A bunch of rubbish who only know how to bully women."
He now plays an arrogant vampire noble who specializes in attracting fire.
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, the faces of the four people changed instantly.
"What did you say?" Ao Liu asked with a bad look.
"Boy, do you think this is a place where you can talk nonsense?" Hua Jiao also smiled maliciously.
If it weren't for the fact that Shen Cheng seemed to have an extraordinary status, they might have already taken action.
"enough."
Madam Yan Rui shouted coldly, attracting everyone's attention.
She looked at the four people coldly: "Let's be frank. I know you want to suppress me. Okay, we can fight back and no one should be dissatisfied. But if you don't even care about your face, do you think I dare not fight to the death with you?"
Madam Yan Rui's words were almost a breach of relationship.
Originally she didn't dare to do so because she was alone and facing four people. She would definitely lose if they fell out.
Now with Shen Cheng as a powerful foreign aid, Madam Yan Rui is full of confidence and is no longer afraid of making things bigger. It would be best if she could make things big enough to lure Yin Hong out.
On the other hand, the other four people did not dare to respond to Madam Yan Rui's almost shameless remarks.
Because Yin Hong's request was for them to weaken Madam Yan Rui's power and make her a lonely person, rather than forcing her to die together.
Although the four people did not take Madam Yan Rui's threats seriously, they did not believe that she would really dare to fight to the death.
But what if?
They don't want to bear Yin Hong's anger.
Lian Mo, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke up: "Then let's follow the rules. Whoever wins will get Hu Shan's position."
This is to determine the winner between Makimei and Shen Cheng.
If you don't want to fight to the death with Madam Yan Rui, then this is the only way.
The others had no objections, and the four ministers also wanted to use McKinmei to see the strength of Madam Yan Rui, the foreign aid.
Madam Yan Rui breathed a sigh of relief, as Lian Mo's proposal was exactly what she wanted.
To her, a fight to the bitter end is like a nuclear bomb, which is better left on the launch pad rather than fired.
Seeing that no one objected, Lian Mo continued: "Let's change the place..."
"No need."
Shen Cheng interrupted Lian Mo and walked towards Mai Jinmei: "This is good, we'll solve it right away."
He had to maintain his arrogant persona, but as Madam Yan Rui's military support, he also had to demonstrate his military prowess.
The girl in front of her, Makimei, became the best target. It was just her bad luck.
Lian Mo didn't react much when his speech was interrupted, but the others showed dissatisfaction with Shen Cheng's arrogance.
"Oh my, that's a very confident statement."
Mai Jinmei giggled. Facing Shen Cheng who was approaching, she was not afraid. She just showed her sharp nails and said, "If you are too confident, be careful not to fall."
As soon as she finished speaking, before anyone could react, McKinmei had turned into a shadow and shot towards Shen Cheng.
Her attitude was not as relaxed as it looked. Instead, she saw that Shen Cheng was not someone to be trifled with, so she took the initiative and put all her strength into it.
Snapped!
As soon as she came within five meters of Shen Cheng, Mai Jinmei instantly turned into a pool of blood and mud on the ground.
Under the suppression of gravity and the mysterious hand, her body simply couldn't bear it. In order to prevent the other party from dodging, Shen Cheng even used cognitive modification to interfere with her facial senses in an instant.
Using a butcher knife to kill a chicken will cut off its head with one stroke.
This scene shocked everyone except Madam Yan Rui.
They originally thought that Shen Cheng's strength was at most slightly stronger than Madam Yan Rui's two servants, but they didn't expect that he was actually an extraordinary person.
Madam Yan Rui was actually able to find a vampire with a title as external aid!
Moreover, he was able to kill McKimmy in an instant, and his combat power is definitely top-notch among the extraordinary ones.
McKimmy is still alive, trying to get his body back together.
Shen Cheng used gravity to suppress her while using his mysterious hand to continuously crush McKinmei, consuming her source blood.
If he used the Eternal Dragon Flame or the Demon Mask, he could kill McKinmei more easily, but Shen Cheng didn't want to expose more of his abilities. This was enough for now.
"stop!"
Ao Liu finally reacted and shouted at Shen Cheng to stop. Mai Jinmei was a secret subordinate he had secretly cultivated. She hadn't played an important role yet. How could he watch her get killed?
Shen Cheng ignored him and continued to do as he pleased.
"Help!"
Makinmei's terrified scream rang out amidst the blood and flesh on the ground: "Lord Ao Liu, please save me."
The angry Ao Liu took action directly, rushing towards Shen Cheng and punching him.
He is not a user of life-type abilities, but a user of destructive abilities who can manipulate and amplify kinetic energy.
Destruction-type ability users are known for their powerful destructive power. Ao Liu's punch is even more powerful than that of life-type ability users.
The seven mysterious hands behind Shen Cheng attacked directly, and at the same time, they used the telekinesis of mind tricks to assist the mysterious hands in the attack.
In the eyes of everyone, Ao Liu's fist collided with an invisible force before it hit Shen Cheng.
boom!
A huge crash accompanied by a shock wave swept through the entire conference room, overturning tables and chairs and shattering windows.
Ao Liu's arm exploded into a ball of blood mist. It could not withstand the destructive power brought by the powerful kinetic energy. Only vampires could fight in such a self-mutilating way.
He took several steps back, raised his head, and looked at Shen Cheng with shocked eyes as he stood there motionless.
He didn't hold back when he threw this punch, and ended up being at a disadvantage.
Seeing Ao Liu suffer a loss, the other three stood up at once.
Shen Cheng looked around and sneered, "If you can't afford it, don't play."
This sentence was like adding fuel to the fire, directly igniting the anger of the other four people, and the atmosphere in the entire conference room instantly became tense.
"What are you going to do?"
Madam Yan Rui immediately scolded, and quickly came to Shen Cheng and stood firmly with him.
Although the lady looked like she was ready to fight to the death, cold sweat had already soaked her back. She could only place all her hopes on Shen Cheng.
In this almost frozen atmosphere, only Makimei's screams were still being heard, because Shen Cheng was still constantly consuming her source blood.
Hoffa's eyes were cold, and he suddenly asked, "Who are you?"
A vampire as powerful as Shen Cheng cannot be unknown.
Shen Cheng looked arrogant, as if he was disdainful of answering this question.
Madam Yan Rui answered for him: "I said, my cousin came from Haining Prefecture."
Then, her tone became arrogant, just like Shen Cheng's expression: "My cousin is a natural vampire from Bai Jun's lineage. Like me, he was born with a title."
Bai Jun's lineage?
The four vampires were suddenly startled, and at the same time they remembered a long-standing rumor about the Scarlet Dinner Party - it was said that Madam Yan Rui was also a natural-born vampire.
Bai Jun's lineage is a noble lineage that came from the Eternal Empire. Their status and position are much higher than those of these hybrids who turned into vampires midway.
There is a strict hierarchy among vampires, especially in organizations like the Scarlet Party, which have a serious feudal atmosphere.
When they judge a vampire's status, they not only look at his strength, but also his background. They also look down on nouveau riche, even if they themselves are nouveau riche.
There are two types of bloodlines from the Eternal Empire, one is noble bloodline and the other is slave bloodline.
Among the bloodlines, natural born vampires have the highest status, and those who become vampires from humans are privately called hybrids.
So these four people finally understood why Shen Cheng was always arrogant and looked down on them.
The tense atmosphere was still there. Ao Liu exchanged glances with the other three people and found that none of them had any intention of taking action.
Shen Cheng was also hesitant. He was not afraid of the four people joining forces, but he was not sure if he could keep them all.
Once one of them escapes, Yin Hong will become alert and alert the enemy.
As time went by, McKimmy's screams gradually faded away until they disappeared.
No one took action. If it was just Madam Yan Rui, it would be fine, but now there is another guy whose origin and strength are unknown. No one is willing to fight him for no reason.
"Since your cousin has won, Madam, then Hu Shan's position should be given to him."
After saying this, Hoffa turned around and left without even looking at other people's eyes.
Madam Yan Rui suddenly found a powerful external aid, and it is impossible to force her to make concessions. This matter must be notified to Yin Hong as soon as possible.
The second person to leave was Hua Jiao.
"Madam Yan Rui, it seems we have underestimated you."
He said this with a smile and left.
Lian Mo left soon after. He seemed to have no interest in this fight from beginning to end.
Ao Liu, who had lost only one of his men, was still unwilling to give up. However, everyone else had left, and he was left alone and at a disadvantage.
"This is not over yet!"
He could only look at Shen Cheng and Madam Yan Rui with hatred, throw down a few polite words, and leave in silence.
In a blink of an eye, only Shen Cheng and Madam Yan Rui were left in the spacious conference room.
Madam Yan Rui breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel her legs go weak and her back wet with cold sweat.
This meeting tonight was so thrilling that she felt like she was walking on a tightrope and would fall to pieces if she wasn't careful.
But in the end, I passed the level safely and even won.
Madam Yan Rui looked at Shen Cheng with great gratitude. Without Shen Cheng's support, her fate tonight would have been very miserable.
Facing Madam Yan Rui's grateful gaze, Shen Cheng used his mind tricks calmly.
This was the time when Madam Yan Rui's favorability and trust in him skyrocketed, so he could use his abilities on her without worrying about being discovered.
The mind trick successfully pushed Madam Yan Rui's favorability and trust in Shen Cheng to an extremely high level.
If he went any further it would become extreme and there was a possibility of being discovered, so Shen Cheng stopped at the right time.
"we won."
Madam Yan Rui, who was very emotional, suddenly opened her arms, gave Shen Cheng a big hug, and whispered in his ear: "Thank you, this is all thanks to you."
Shen Cheng could clearly feel the lady's domineering power, his mouth and nose were filled with the fragrance of her body, and the warm breath when she spoke in his ear.
But Shen Cheng knew that this was false and was caused by his ability, so his heart was as cold as a knife that had been used to kill fish in RT-Mart for ten years, without any throbbing.
Madam Yan Rui also realized that this was inappropriate and quickly let go of Shen Cheng.
Although she managed to turn the tables, Madam Yan Rui did not think that she could rest easy from now on.
"We won, but Hoffa and his gang will definitely not give up."
Madam Yan Rui used her jade-like fingers to tidy up Shen Cheng's clothes and hair that were messed up by the wind, and said, "But it doesn't matter. We can continue to fight them. Sooner or later, Yin Hong will be unable to sit still."
Her beautiful eyes sparkled, and she looked at Shen Cheng intently: "I believe that as long as you are here, we will definitely win in the end."
At this time, under the influence of the mind trick, Madam Yan Rui's favorability and trust in Shen Cheng have reached an extremely high level, and she regards him as "one of her own" to whom she can entrust her life.
Even if a real cousin appeared, he would not be able to enjoy the same treatment as Shen Cheng.
Madam Yan Rui didn't think there was anything wrong at all. Unless someone reminded her, it would be impossible for her to discover the clues on her own.
And as time goes by, the probability of being discovered will only get lower and lower.
Shen Cheng thought of the two familiar faces of Ao Liu and Lian Mo, and an idea emerged in his mind: "I have a new plan, maybe I can lure Yin Hong out faster, but I need your help."
"what idea?"
Madam Yan Rui placed her fingers on Shen Cheng's shoulders and said softly, "Just tell me, I will help you no matter what."
When Shen Cheng told her his plan, Madam Yan Rui hesitated for a moment and then immediately agreed.
This plan was very risky for her, but it could not withstand her trust and affection for Shen Cheng.
After agreeing, Madam Yan Rui felt a little puzzled. When did she become so selfless?
However, looking at Shen Cheng's face, which she liked more and more and which made her feel more and more excited, she forgot about the strange feeling in her heart.
She believed that Shen Cheng would never do anything bad to her.
Seeing that Madam Yan Rui agreed, Shen Cheng once again felt the horror of mind tricks in his heart.
Then, he asked the question that he was curious about just now: "Are you a natural born vampire?"
