Trafford’s Trading Club

Chapter 1381: Chapter 108: The Flower Wall

It seems there’s no problem.

From what Long Xiruo learned from Girl Doni about the mysterious girl Mina’s past, there really wasn’t anything particularly special—like all the other children at the , this mysterious girl was brought to the Farm one day for upbringing.

Over the span of a dozen years, after going through different stages, she finally grew into what is now the standard —if there’s really something strange about this mysterious girl, it can all be explained as her .

But apparently, things aren’t that simple… Otherwise, why would Luo Qiu always be exchanging glances with this mysterious girl… Well, in short, it’s like they’re acting as opponents!

Should one get to the bottom of it?

But will it affect what he originally wanted to do… After all, is this really what he wants to do, or is he being forced to do it by something behind the scenes?

Up till now, Boss Luo doesn’t even plan on revealing to the true dragon of China that his life span is linked to the amount of transactions.

But even without knowing, Long Xiruo vaguely feels that behind the club owner’s transactions, there’s an unavoidable factor.

Just like how she became a true dragon, she had to give up many things… After obtaining the strongest power in the world, troubles came along, but she can no longer refuse these troubles.

Moreover, the shop that surpasses the world’s strongest power…

The true dragon of China suddenly realized she has indeed invited a massive trouble for herself… Shouldn’t have brought the matter to light, isn’t it better to just keep it to oneself?

What’s that saying… Oh, the beauty of vagueness!

“Um…” Girl Doni’s anxious voice interrupted the true dragon of China’s thoughts, and she hesitantly asked, “Noble Master, can you tell me now… where Mina is?”

“That is no problem.” Long Xiruo thought for a moment and then said, “The person you’re looking for is inside, I can take you in. But you must agree to one thing for me.”

“Please go ahead, Noble Master.” Girl Doni hurriedly said.

Long Xiruo directly said, “You cannot tell anyone, including your roommate Mina… or rather, especially her, about what we just talked about. Can you do that?”

“Noble Master… has Mina done something wrong?” Unexpectedly, Girl Doni became scared and nervous, “Are you going to punish her?”

Long Xiruo casually patted the girl’s shoulder, comforting her, “Don’t worry, there’s no problem, don’t overthink… Especially don’t overthink anything. Just live your life as you originally did. Thinking too much won’t bring any benefit to you.”

She nodded in semi-understanding.

But at this moment, some commotion from the quickly caught Long Xiruo’s attention… She instinctively looked towards the town, discovering something seemed to be happening there.

She frowned, instinctively planning to float up for a clearer view—but just then, Luo Qiu’s voice gently sounded in her ear.

“Miss Long, there’s no need to probe, come inside, we’re watching the scene too, join us.”

“You… You’re spying on me again!!”

Perhaps this reaction was a bit unexpected, and after a moment’s pause, Boss Luo’s voice sounded again, “Then next time, I’ll seek your consent first.”

She snorted softly… muttering to herself: Even if you don’t tell me after watching, won’t I still remain unaware?

Uncertain if she agreed or not, Long Xiruo simply grabbed Girl Doni’s wrist, “Come with me… once inside, don’t say a word, especially ignore that man inside! He’s no good!”

“K-Know, I understand.” Girl Doni rapidly nodded… also wondering why this Noble Master suddenly seemed to become irritated.

…

Upon opening the living room door, Long Xiruo glanced around, noticing the awakened Maria, frowned initially but said nothing, speaking first, “What happened?”

Seeing that two females came in, Maria under the hood instinctively paused for a moment… really, this little brother’s acquaintances are numerous, hehe.

She didn’t plan on speaking, merely feeling momentarily that the atmosphere seemed a bit off… Also wondering if this young little brother can handle it… hehe.

“It seems an upper-level aristocrat from the clan had a conflict with the complicated law enforcement team within the clan.” Boss Luo casually remarked as he observed the scene, “The clan’s acting Archduke had to leave for some matter, temporarily granting authority to a confidant… who then issued an order that severely displeased the upper-level aristocrat. Additionally, there seems to be some small disturbances mixed in.”

As he spoke, Boss Luo suddenly looked at the Girl Doni beside Long Xiruo, nodded as a way of greeting.

At this moment, still remembering the Noble Master’s instructions, Girl Doni quickly hid behind the Noble Master, not daring to look at the man in the living room.

Boss Luo then glanced at the true dragon of China… feeling like they’ve caught her little secrets, the true dragon of China then stood straight with her chest up.

Luo Qiu smiled and said, “Stop standing there, come over.”

The true dragon of China rolled her eyes and just dragged Girl Doni over to the lady with butterfly wings beside… then kept observing the maid next to Boss Luo, seemingly trying to discern something.

There wasn’t anything… the only feeling was, the satisfaction born from Girl Doni being a white lotus swiftly faded away.

“Ah! Father…” Unexpectedly, upon seeing the , the girl suddenly exclaimed—her outburst attracted everyone’s attention.

The girl quickly bowed her head and said, “He is Lord Popoqi, my appointed Noble Master. My is …”

“Tsk!” The true dragon of China immediately frowned.

Of course, she knows what appointed means, and she is well aware of the things these decaying vampire nobilities do… Despite that, she had told this girl not to comprehend too many things.

A belief nurtured from childhood and already formed into a mold; if it collapses, it would probably be one of the cruelest things, right?

So… she only slightly expressed dissatisfaction, without explaining anything directly to this girl.

Just then, the maid suddenly stepped out, saying that since a new guest has arrived, she needs to prepare to greet them, and then elegantly left everyone’s sight.

The true dragon of China frowned at this—the moment before this scheming woman said she would leave for a while, she distinctly saw her whispering something to Luo Qiu!

This master and maid can’t communicate without speaking… who would believe that?

But if she follows out at this moment, would it make her seem… As she felt agitated in her heart, the maid suddenly spoke to the true dragon of China as she passed by, “Miss Long, interested in coming with me.”

Feeling as though her thoughts were seen through entirely, the true dragon of China simply sat down, crossed her legs, and said, “Tired, not interested.”

“Then have a good rest, Miss Long.” The maid chuckled softly, turning to leave.

The true dragon of China curled her lips, glancing at Boss Luo with the corner of her eye, noticing that he seemed unconcerned with this side, merely watching the Curved Screen intently.

“Huh, isn’t that Mr. Norman?”

Miss Witch suddenly exclaimed in surprise at this moment— for she clearly saw the male bloodsucker she encountered at the bottom of the Lost Rift through the Curved Screen!

…

The maid, who said she was going to prepare to greet the guests, did not head directly to the kitchen — instead, without any sound of footsteps, she quietly arrived at the location of the villa’s back garden.

The indoor lights elongated her silhouette in the courtyard… Her gaze swept briefly over the courtyard, and then she walked directly into it, heading towards the flower wall in the corner.

The flower wall was specially pruned into maze-like shapes— but the maid seemed to have long known the direction and never paused for a moment, quickly walking into the depths of the maze constructed by the rose flower walls.

Suddenly, something shot out from behind her.

The maid simply moved a few inches away, allowing the thing that ambushed her to graze past her body, eventually crashing into a plaster pillar.

It was a foot-long arrow.

“Quite a lot of unexpected guests today…” The maid suddenly squinted her eyes, whispering softly, “In places outside the master’s sight… one can also get angry, you know.”

Black flames burned silently— flames formed out of thin air, instantly incinerating a corner of the flower wall.

And the thing hidden within the flower wall gradually revealed itself.

At this moment, what appeared before the maid was actually a pair of man and woman… Both carried fairly serious wounds, and the clothes they originally wore were tattered in many places, seemingly caused by some punishment.

The woman was tightly held in the man’s arms, with the man’s other hand holding a crossbow… tremblingly pointing it at the maid.

“Don’t… don’t come any closer!” The man shouted vigorously and loudly at this moment… His hand trembled even more violently.

Without saying a word, the maid walked straight up to the pair of man and woman.

“Don’t come any closer! I really will kill you!!” The man said fearfully.

The maid merely focused her gaze, and the crossbow in the man’s hand was instantly incinerated by black flames… He fearfully tossed the crossbow aside.

Before the crossbow hit the ground, it had already completely turned to ashes.

The man started shaking all over uncontrollably… But he nevertheless gritted his teeth, forcefully pushed the woman in his embrace away, stood up directly, opened his arms, blocking the maid, “Run!!”

The maid’s gaze glimmered slightly, she suddenly chuckled, saying, “Quite a commendable gaze…”

“What… what are you going to do!” The man asked nervously, constantly glancing back at the woman behind him.

Yet the woman stubbornly chose not to leave, instead deciding to stay, hugging the man from behind, with the resolve to live and die together.

At this moment, the maid said, “What… do the two of you think I plan to make you kill each other, so only one survives or something like that.”

“You…” The man and woman inevitably became despondent at the same time, the man even angrily saying, “You’re a devil!”

The maid’s face showed neither amusement nor anger, merely speaking blandly, “By the looks of the two of you, it seems you escaped from somewhere, right? Hiding here means there’s a risk of being discovered… Hmm, since you want to escape, if caught, you’ll certainly face something horrifying… Judging by your current states, you already understand some things.”

“Please, let us go!” The woman cried at this moment, “We will no longer secretly spread the truth at Farm… never again.”

“Don’t plead with this monster… don’t you understand! To bloodsuckers, we were just their toys from birth!” The man looked at the maid wretchedly, “Giving hope repeatedly, only to smash it… just to satisfy their twisted desires… If you want to kill, then kill! I’d rather die than return to that hell.”

The emotions of the man and woman were extremely intense, the maid then spread out her palm, and the arrow that once attacked her floated into her palm, “Seeking death doesn’t require outside help, one can do it oneself quite easily… So, go ahead.”

Casually tossing it, the arrow directly stuck into the grass before the man.

After the fear, the man’s expression instantly turned pale… He looked down at the arrow on the grass, gulped with a thud, with a drop of cold sweat extending down his brow, sliding down and finally dripping into the soil.

“I… I’ll wait for you!”

The man didn’t move, and at this moment, the woman behind him suddenly rushed out, pulling up the arrow from the ground, and then, gritting her teeth, stabbed it into her own heart…

In grief and despair, she looked at the man before her, slowly collapsing to the ground… After falling, she tried to reach out, seemingly hoping to grasp the other.

At last, a faint smile appeared.

The man’s mind blanked instantly… He knelt to the ground, looking at the woman’s eyes gradually losing their luster, as if drained of strength… bowing his head, silent.

“Truly decisive people…” The maid still expressionlessly, looked at the man before her, saying calmly, “Relatively speaking… Ending things so swiftly seems quite good, saving some pain, after all. So, do you plan to join her? I can consider burying you together here… the surroundings really look quite beautiful.”

“What… what a joke!” The man suddenly raised his head, still looking at her with terror in his eyes, “Noble Master… I’m willing to return! To serve as a breeding pig for your people! It’s fine… it’s fine! I’m willing to go back!!”

The maid merely smiled slightly, saying, “Oh dear, but a moment ago you clearly willing to shield her… what’s going on now… sir, did you not think it through? Returning, life might become even more unbearable.”

“Better than… better than dying here.” The man swallowed dryly, “Moreover, I originally just took care of her to let her block some danger for me… There’s no need for that now! Noble Master, I’m very strong, always named by other Noble Masters back then! My genes are excellent; I can certainly produce more superior offspring! I can continue to mate! I really can!”

“Really.” The maid merely nodded slightly, then backed up a few steps and looked at the woman on the ground, saying blandly, “I’ll wait for you behind there.”

With that, she slowly left the place.

The man was taken aback for a while, finally seemingly realizing something, looked down at the woman beneath him, only to find that her body was starting to burn bit by bit, eventually transforming into numerous black flame butterflies… ultimately scattering away.

He suddenly turned back.

The woman was just standing behind him.
