Chapter 133 Water City Venice
Chapter 133 Water City Venice (Happy New Year!)
After the war, Staff Officer Finner, as a representative, solemnly thanked the Chinese National Government Team, especially Luo Chen.
Helping a country win the war against the undead is a lifelong honor that is in no way inferior to outstanding performance in the world university competition.
But this is undoubtedly a glory that belongs to Luo Chen alone...
To show his gratitude, Staff Officer Finner increased everyone's benefits to the maximum after the war.
After completing the last task, everyone was not in a hurry to leave the city, but took a rare rest in the city.
After all, they will head to their final destination, the water city of Venice, to participate in the final competition.
Coincidentally, after the war, this desert city experienced a rare heavy rain.
The rain washed away the blood and the smell of the dead around the city, making the entire city look brand new...
...............................
Arriving in Venice, you will be amazed by this city built on water.
The medieval bell towers, churches, and painted buildings that can be seen everywhere make people feel like they are immersed in the history of Europe, as if they have traveled through time and space.
There are no cars in Venice, not even bicycles. All means of transportation are boats and gondolas, a black water beast.
When they reached the shore, the members of the National Team went their separate ways, each looking for a place to practice and retreat. Before the competition began, they could allocate their time freely.
The group dispersed.
Luo Chen and Mo Fan were dragged by Zhao Manyan to visit their auction house.
The Zhao family is one of the most prominent families in the world and they have enormous wealth.
The Zhao family has shares in auction houses all over the world to a greater or lesser extent, and the magnificent San Marco World Auction House in front of us is naturally one of them.
"Of course, Lao Zhao, is your family's business doing well? Your family has a presence in places as far away as Europe..."
Mo Fan said in surprise.
Zhao Manyan brought the two here naturally with the intention of showing off. After hearing Mo Fan's praise, he couldn't help but smile and said modestly:
"Oh, it's just so-so. Luo Ge, Mo Fan, if you have anything you like, just tell me..."
Before Zhao Manyan finished playing, a familiar voice sounded in his ears!
"Zhao Manyan!"
As soon as he stepped into the hall, he heard a handsome man wearing beach pants and sunglasses standing in front of the door and walking towards Zhao Manyan.
"Brother, you are so busy, but you came specially to pick me up..."
Zhao Manyan looked at the man in sunglasses and said with some excitement.
However, before Zhao Manyan could finish his words, the man in sunglasses raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you here?"
"??!!!"
...............................
After some conversation, Zhao Youqian remembered that Zhao Manyan was already a player of the Guofu team.
Luo Chen and Mo Fan were also standing aside, watching the conversation between Zhao Youqian and Zhao Manyan, two brothers who seemed a little awkward.
Although to outsiders, this was just an ordinary conversation between two brothers.
But Luo Chen was very clear about what might happen next, and when he saw the conversation between the two, he sighed unconsciously.
In the original novel, Zhao Manyan’s coffee table can be said to be filled with tragedies.
Zhao Yougan, his eldest brother, was instigated by Zhao Jing to assassinate him in order to seize the family property. His biological father died of illness, and in the end only Old Zhao and his mother Bai Miaoying were left to depend on each other.
If necessary, Luo Chen would naturally help Zhao Manyan to avoid repeating the tragedy of the original work.
....................................
After the two brothers finished reminiscing about the past, Zhao Manyan also took them for a walk. "Brother Chen, Lao Mo, I, Lao Zhao, still have some face here, how about I take you for a walk?"
“No need, just show Mo Fan around, I want to go shopping on my own!”
Luo Chen waved his hand.
"Okay, that's fine too! Just tell me if you want anything!"
Zhao Manyan nodded.
Luo Chen also responded, and then went straight to the auction house to stroll around.
Luo Chen wandered around the auction house.
The decoration inside the auction hall can be described as magnificent. An entire corridor is filled with treasures on display, and each item is priceless.
Among this group of treasures, there is a stone that is very conspicuous. It is located in the C position of this exhibition.
At first glance, it looks like a black stone, but upon closer inspection, the stardust-like embellishments on it appear to be magical.
"This is the guilty stone. About twenty years ago, a certain beautiful and powerful woman, in order to prove that she had indeed cast the guilty stone, deliberately displayed this judgment stone to show the world How unselfish she is."
A woman's beautiful and pleasant voice came slowly from behind. Luo Chen knew who it was without turning around.
Astraea, her purpose here is to take away this guilty stone.
Luo Chen turned his head and saw that the familiar veil was still covering her fairy-like face.
Her graceful figure alone is enough to attract attention, and her beautiful eyes with a hint of charm are even more heart-beating.
"Long time no see, Ye Meng'e...or Asharuya!"
Luo Chen looked at this incredibly beautiful woman and said with familiarity.
"Long time no see. It seems you recognized me, Doctor Luo...or Councillor Luo!"
Asharuya smiled charmingly, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. As if not wanting to show weakness, she also deliberately imitated Luo Chen's format and spoke.
"You came to see me for something, right? Now I can tell you..."
Luo Chen glanced at the people coming and going around him and didn't buy into Asharuya's tricks at all.
Having read the original novel, he knew Asharuya's character very well. In front of Asharuya, Jiang Shaoxu could only be called a little fox...
"Oh? How did Councillor Luo know that I was looking for you? After all, this is a public area. Is it possible that only Councillor Luo is allowed to appear here?"
Asharuya appeared calm on the outside, but her heart was filled with turmoil.
She hasn't said anything yet. When did she become so easily seen through?
"Of course not, but I know exactly why you came to me for help. If you want help, just be frank and don't be so secretive."
Luo Chen said without any concealment.
Asharuya was silent for a moment. She didn't quite understand how Luo Chen knew this, or was he just teasing her?
"If you don't have anything to talk about, I'll leave first..."
Luo Chen shook his head and just as he took a step, a voice came from behind him.
"and many more……"
When Luo Chen heard the voice behind him, he stopped, smiled, and turned around.
"Change somewhere."
Asharuya, under the veil, was unusually serious. She walked to Luo Chen and spoke softly.
"it is good!"
