Chapter 165 – Primus Hogue (2/2)

“I know…” Lafayette nodded.

“You knew? Then…” Lei Yu felt that something was a bit off.

Lafayette blushed. “I… I have something to tell you.”

“Go ahead and tell me what’s on your mind.” Lei Yu looked very natural compared to Lafayette who was fidgeting all over the place.

“Actually… actually… I actually really like you. I was hoping you would give me a chance to get to know each other. I can guarantee I’ll do even better than Ai Er!”

“Ah?!” Although Lei Yu showed a surprised face, this wasn’t that unexpected since he had been in these kinds of situation multiple times. What he couldn’t figure out was that he and Lafayette never really interacted or spoke with each other that much, so when did she start developing feelings towards him? No matter what he thought, Lei Yu felt this whole situation was a little strange.

“I know you already have Ai Er by your side and won’t accept another person, but it doesn’t matter. As long as I can stay by your side, I am willing to do anything and I’m also willing to wait for you.”

Lafayette’s words were actually against her own desires. In fact, her feelings towards Lei Yu were just an attraction. If the two were to be separated, her feelings towards him would most likely gradually fade away over time. But since Mr. and Mrs. Hawes gave her this script, she couldn’t go against their words and could only say this to Lei Yu.

Lei Yu shook his head helplessly. “I’m not this great person that you think I am. Moreover, you’re very beautiful and your family’s status is very high, so there’s no need for you to walk down this path. You shouldn’t be wasting your time on me, okay?”

“But I really…!”

“I’m sorry but I still have to go cultivate. If there’s anything else, let’s talk about it tomorrow okay? Be good and go to bed early and stop over thinking things.” Lei Yu smiled as he said this. He wasn’t expecting Lafayette to go and replace Ai Er in managing the servants since he knew she definitely wasn’t in the mood for that right now.

Looking at Lei Yu’s expression, Lafayette didn’t know what else to say and could only turn around and leave.

Meanwhile, the situation came to a terrifying crossroad. But this wasn’t happening to the Vatican or Lei Yu, and it wasn’t happening to the Dark Council either. Something was going on with a fearsome person who had been hiding in the shadows all along – Doctor Tony.

In some ways, we could say that his research achievements had reached the highest peak. However his studies would not be recognized by any country since the Yamaguchi-gumi, which was an originally an organization with a big influence, was exterminated by Lei Yu. That’s why no country was willing to take the risk in supporting his work anymore. And two days prior, he received a notice from the Vatican entailing the breakup of their partnership. This piece of news had made him completely explode.

“It looks like the Vatican and the Dark Council are truly treating me like I’m nothing!” Dr. Tony coldly said. “In order to cooperate with Lei Yu, the Vatican actually gave up our many years of partnership. And the Dark Council has been massacring my mutants’ non-stop, this is too outrageous!”

“Doctor, I think we should create some problems so the two will start killing each other. That way, we can clean up the mess and reap all the benefits.” Said a weird looking person standing next to Tony.

“What methods do you have?”

“Your daughter…”
