Chapter 109 First Class Seat
Chapter 109 First Class Seat
The darkness made people lose their sense of time. During the process of being transported, Cheng could feel that she was probably being packed in a box-she was not sure because Squalo blindfolded her eyes first.
But Cheng didn't feel very nervous, she even imagined that she might stay in a brightly colored gift box, and when she was sent to Valia's party, after the gift box's bow was opened, she might be able to stand up Say "surprise!" to everyone...
The box suddenly shook, and then there was a sharp sound of metal rubbing against each other. Cheng tried to explore the surroundings, but failed to touch the wall of the box.
The silence around made Cheng realize that she might have arrived at her destination, so she withdrew her hand and slightly adjusted her kneeling posture.
In the case of being deprived of vision, this quietness becomes more and more oppressive.
Fortunately, Cheng didn't wait too long. In the silence, she took off her blindfold with one hand.
The suddenly brightening environment made Cheng close her eyes subconsciously, and when she opened them again, what came into her eyes was the stern eyes of the man on the throne looking down at her.
xanxus.
Cheng also looked at him, and after a while, she tried to say something, but before she could make a sound, Xanxus raised her chin.
He looked at her face carefully, and Cheng also had to give him the same gaze, so she inevitably saw the scars on the other's cheeks and forehead.
"Still weak and naive, Cheng."
Xanxus said this suddenly, the corners of his mouth curled up a little, although this is really not a compliment, but as the leader of Valia, and himself, on such an occasion, the tone of this sentence is a bit abnormal .
Therefore, Chengyue was inevitably a little confused, so she actually wanted to touch those scars in order to try to heal them.
She didn't get what she wanted, and Xanxus took her wrist hard.
"what is this?"
asked the leader of Valia.
Due to lack of control, he almost broke Cheng's wrist, but this pain did not show on Cheng's face, she even smiled slightly when she found the other's gaze.
"this one……"
Apart from xanxus and Cheng, other people present, including Squalo standing behind xanxus, gathered their eyes.
"?!"
After he realized what that meant, he could hardly resist taking a step forward.
"As you can see, it's an engagement ring."
As her words fell, a violent thunder tore the darkness in xanxus' eyes, and then, a terrifying electric light began to pass through xanxus' pupils, but before crushing Cheng's wrist bones, he suddenly let go.
"Such a thing doesn't count as a ring."
Xanxus laughed, and picked up the long-lost reunion gift that had been prepared for her.
He pressed the metal ring with an open end on Cheng's neck, and with the light click of the keyhole, the ring was completely fastened. Xanxus pulled the chain connected to the ring, and looked down at the woman who couldn't withstand the external force and was dragged down by his lap.
"that's."

"Cheng, tell the prince a story."
The other party's words were more like an order than a request, Cheng Wenyan raised his face and looked at the blond boy sitting in a pile of old storybooks.
Bell picks and chooses among the picture books he owned when he was a child. Just like the little boy in Cheng’s memory, he is a person who is not good at cherishing things. The cover page is a little torn.
And despite this, he kept them all, even Cheng couldn't help but be surprised.
"That's it."
Bell seemed to have found his favorite volume, and he held it up excitedly.Cheng looked up and found that it was indeed a story that Bell liked very much... When he was a child, he often asked Cheng to read it repeatedly until he fell asleep.
"Ok."
Cheng nodded, but at the same time touched the restraint ring on his neck in trouble.The other end of the chain was connected to the lock on the wall, limiting Cheng's range of activities to a small area.
"But Bell, I can't come to you, can you please come here?"
"it is good!"
This sentence pleased the boy especially, and he jumped out of the pile of books as deftly as a cat.
Cheng looked at Bell in front of him, on the one hand, he felt that he hadn't changed from when he was a child, and on the other hand, he felt that he was indeed no longer similar to the past.
Maybe it's because he's grown up a lot.
While Cheng was thinking, the boy hugged her from behind, brushed her long hair with his fingers, and put his chin on her shoulder.
Bell's limbs are very slender, even though he is still in the development stage and his figure is not very tall, he can still hold Cheng in his arms.
Across Cheng, Bell reached out and flipped the pages of the book. Because of his rude treatment, the picture book looked even more dilapidated, but he didn't seem to care about this at all, humming a brisk tune and flipping the pages.
"Where to start?... Ah, let's start with the passage where the princess and the prince are together forever!"
"If that's the case, isn't the story over?"
"It doesn't matter, because the previous plot doesn't matter."
Bell said to her like this, his eyes shifted from the book and landed on the back of Cheng's hand, he looked at it for a while, and then covered his palm little by little.
The boy's hands were already bigger than Cheng's, and Bell himself seemed to be surprised by this...but soon, he also noticed the ring on Cheng's hand.
Bell's mood quickly deteriorated.
"A plot that has nothing to do with the prince..."
The place where the picture book unfolds is the end of the story, and Bell slowly tore off the front part of the book.
"It's unnecessary...like this one."
His fingertips tapped dangerously on the ring Cheng wore on his ring finger.
"Throw it away, Cheng."
"No."
The scene was silent for a short while.
Cheng turned his face away, the chain being pulled made a slight sound due to shaking, but Cheng's voice was still clear.
"No, it's very important to me."
"In that case."
After a moment of silence, Bell laughed nervously as a dagger slipped into his hand.
"It's okay to use my method to exclude—"
Belphegor, who was furious, didn't notice that the door was opened at this moment, but Cheng noticed it. She turned her head, but a cold light flashed in front of her eyes.
It was just the moment she blinked, Ruiguang had already completed the momentary burst, and then sank in her eyes.
The dagger was sent flying, Squalo put away his sword, and Bell leaped away from her.
"Get out of here, Belphegor," Squalo said. "If you touch her, you're forbidden to have any more contact with her, as I told you."
Belphegor staggered to his feet, and the flying knives between his fingers indicated his answer.
So Squalo went on in a bored manner.
"I've been waiting for so long, but now you can't bear even this little time."
"..."
Bell threw the weapons in his hands, and Squalo didn't dodge or avoid them, letting them fly past his ears and embed them deeply in the wall.Generally speaking, he would not easily let go of those who challenged him, but when Bell passed him in silence, Squalo said nothing.
He walked up to Cheng and knelt down, frowning and looking at her.
"You're still causing as much trouble as ever."
"I'm sorry, but this is not what I expected." Cheng gently tugged at the chain hanging in front of him, "Speaking of which, is such a thing really necessary?"
"Ah, after all, it's something that boss will do."
Squalo said coldly.
"There is still a little time before the action, and I have to make preparations... So, you are a trouble."
He stood up, and with a metallic clang, Cheng looked up, and Squalo looked down at her too.His long silver hair drooped slightly, and his expression was hidden in the shadows.
"If you die inexplicably, things will become more troublesome."
He said, grabbing the chain with his non-prosthetic hand.
"Then, I'll take over this for now."

When he was appointed as the official spokesperson for the cooperation between Hong Kong and Heilongjiang against Valia, Zhong Yuanzhong also vaguely felt that this might be a bit tricky.
And when he stood in Valia's magnificent temporary stronghold, he finally confirmed the feeling in his heart.
He doesn't get along with these extravagant Italians.
Are these people really related to the "darkness" of the assassination forces?Nakahara couldn't help but think this way, unfortunately, Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who was by his side at this time, had no intention of sharing his desire to complain, and he always looked preoccupied.
But having said that, although it is said to be a cooperative relationship, the upcoming Ring War is Peng Lie's internal affairs. Hong Kong and Black just chose the side that seems to have a better chance of winning, and intends to conclude an agreement as soon as possible.
That is to say, no matter whether they get along well or not, what happens next has nothing to do with Zhongyuanzhong.
Until Zhongyuan Zhong also saw the long-haired swordsman who was probably Valia's second-in-command passing by with their hostages.
"...Hello." Zhong Yuanzhong couldn't help but uttered, "What's going on here?"
"Huh? Mr. Nakahara and Mr. Akutagawa, hello."
Cheng turned his head and greeted them politely.
Noticing that the other party was wandering around her neck with an indescribable gaze, Cheng politely defended Valya.
"There are various reasons for this, and it's not the personal interest of everyone in Valia...it shouldn't be true."
At this time, although impatient, Squalo stopped and waited for her and urged: "Hurry up and finish the greetings, it's time to dispatch."
"Okay, it'll be fine soon."
Cheng turned her head to promise him in a low voice, and then she looked at Ryunosuke Akutagawa.
"Mr. Akutagawa, I heard that you met Mr. Oda, right?"
"..."
Cheng was not surprised by Akutagawa's silence, but she didn't want to get an answer from him.
"Please don't mind." She smiled, raised her hand to put away her broken hair, and then turned around, "Then, goodbye, both of you."
"Say goodbye."
Zhong Yuanzhong also looked at the back of the two leaving, and felt a little complicated for no reason.
"It's just a woman with no fighting power, who is involved in the battle for Vongola's heir, what will happen... Akutagawa?"
He suddenly noticed that his subordinate was frowning deeply.
Akutagawa Ryunosuke didn't hear Chuya's voice, his thinking was stuck in strange fragments-this kind of chaos seemed to come out of nowhere, but Akutagawa could clearly find its trigger point.
Ever since that woman spoke to him...
No.
wrong.
The demeanor and movements of the woman with a familiar name passed through Akutagawa's mind in detail, and finally fixed on a certain segment.
When she raised her hand, she wore a ring on her ring finger.
Akutagawa Ryunosuke had seen that ring before.
A long time ago, it should have been sleeping under the tombstone as a relic of that person, but Osamu Dazai took it away.
Perhaps it was then that even Akutagawa Ryunosuke got involved in his obstinate folly about her.
So, who is the person who will be given this ring by Osamu Dazai?
For Akutagawa Ryunosuke, this is a question that does not require thinking.
Her name vibrated in Akutagawa's body with intense and complex emotions, but before everything else, he instinctively felt that she couldn't be taken away like this, and Rashomon rushed towards her like a torrent of collapse.
"Akutagawa!! What are you doing!!!"
Akutagawa Ryunosuke didn't know whether Cheng, who had already walked a long way, felt the activation of the power, or heard Mr. Nakahara's voice.
He saw Cheng turned his head and smiled at him from a distance.
Then, she raised her index finger and put it on her lips.
Lie.
Akutagawa, not now.
Did she really say that?Probably not, even if it was, Akutagawa wouldn't hear it.
But he really felt her voice ringing in his ears.
The black torrent abruptly stopped within her reach, as if hitting an invisible wall.
Then, the door closed behind her.
Akutagawa finally could no longer see her back.

"what happened?"
Cheng turned his face away and shook his head.
"It's nothing."
Squalo is still frowning, the hesitation in his eyes has not faded.
"...Speaking of which, since we met, we haven't had time to have a good conversation."
Cheng sighed.
"I'd really like to ask how everyone is doing, but I think they all know enough about instant gratification, so it's probably a boring question," she said. Quarro."
Cheng smiled and said to him.
"how are you recently?"
"A silly question indeed, especially in Valia."
Squalo replied.
"You should be asking yourself, far from Valia, didn't you live the peaceful and relaxed life that suits you better? Why did you end up here again?"
"Because, Squalo, I didn't escape from Valia."
Her words stopped Squalo in his tracks.
"Who are you engaged to?"
"he……"
"Forget it, I don't want to know."
It was the first time Squalo had smiled since the two were reunited, though it didn't look very friendly.
"You know that guy might be killed by us?"
"Well, I'll do my best to stop it."
"You can try it," he said, "according to Valia's tradition, if he can't get the approval of all the cadres, then your marriage contract is invalid-of course, I think everyone is happy to regard the fight as a means of obtaining permission."
"...Does Valia have such a tradition?"
"From now on." Squalo opened the last door, "However, that's for the future... Well, let's go to the boss."
Cheng nodded.
"There's nothing wrong with that."
When she passed by Squalo, he suddenly said to her, and Cheng realized that he was answering her initial question.
How are you doing?
"For boss, this may be the moment to realize his long-cherished wish. I will follow in his footsteps from beginning to end, that's all."
Cheng stopped for a while.
"Well, I see, that's fine."
Her soft smile was reflected in Squalo's eyes.
"In my case, it's not that I can't guess what xanxus is thinking."
Cheng said.
"If he wants me to be here, I'll be here."
"This time, I'll take a good look at it."

"...The battle between the successor and the guardian will be carried out at the same time, and the winner will directly get the corresponding complete ring, but after the winner of the Dakong ring holder is determined, each is still eligible to assist the guardian..."
"If it's useless, let's stop here."
Xanxus interrupted Cerbero's rule presentation flow and fired a shot into the air.
"It's time to get down to business."
With the sound of the gunshot, the ground began to shake, and the platform covered by the metal shell rose from the ground, rising to mid-air in the eyes of everyone, and then the metal shell was automatically removed, and the female figure on it was finally revealed in front of people.
She was in a position where she could have a panoramic view of all the scenes, so it could be said that she was the first-class seat in the ring battle.
If it wasn't for her wearing a restraint ring around her neck and being imprisoned in a huge birdcage.
"Listen, kid."
Xanxus stood up and walked towards Tsunayoshi Sawada step by step.
"If we haven't decided the winner within an hour, the restraint ring will inject a lethal dose of medicine into her."
He laughed.
"If you understand, do you know what to do?"
"Never forgive..."
When Tsunayoshi Sawada was trembling slightly because of anger, two people put his shoulders on his shoulders.
"Calm down, Aang."
reborn said to him in a deep voice.
"It sounds like I haven't told you yet, Peng Gelie's heir candidate brother, I am actually Cheng's fiancé."
This is Osamu Dazai.
"?! Oh??! What—"
"It's not the time to be surprised." Osamu Dazai blamed him lightly, even though he was the culprit. "This is not the courage that the heir to the biggest mafia in Italy should have."
"But, but..."
"The reason why she went there was not just for her own reasons." Dazai's voice became quieter, "She believes that you can overcome the current unfavorable situation, so she made such a choice."
Although there was still a smile on his face, his voice made Sawada Tsunayoshi instinctively feel a cold chill.
But when he looked in the direction of his lover from afar, his gaze suddenly became tender and tender.
He said to Gangji, but also to himself.
"So, bring her back quickly."
