Chapter 406 - Chapter 406: Chapter 406 The Red Rose Organization (2/2)
While they were talking, a voice full of rage suddenly came from the hall.
Jin Lingsu had appeared out of nowhere, a golden spike thrust into the table.
“Your boredom is really too much, isn’t it? Coming over to bully an old person for no reason—if you want to die just say the word, and I’ll send you to heaven right now.”
These people were fearless, staring at Jin Lingsu with a strange look in their eyes.
“Beauty, it’s not that we want to target Victor. Someone has paid us for his life and his property, and we have no choice but to do as they say.”
Jin Lingsu clenched her teeth so hard they made a grating sound. Just as she was about to take action, she was stopped by Victor, who had rushed down.
“Miss Jin, this is a debt my William’s family incurred hundreds of years ago. It seems today is the day to repay it.”
Victor sat down helplessly to one side and picked up the deck of playing cards on the table.
“After all, William’s family is of royal blood. I hope you can leave some dignity for my family.”
A group of people burst into laughter for a while and did not agree.
Just as the game was about to begin, Chen Yu suddenly appeared and grabbed Victor’s arm.
“Haven’t I told you before? If you want to play with someone, come find me! To some extent, I suppose I can be considered part of William’s family too.”
Chen Yu made a joking remark and then sat down beside them.
The group of people opposite was not pleased, and the leader glared at Chen Yu in warning.
“Kid, don’t be ungrateful. We are from the Katola family.”
Chen Yu adjusted his knowledge—indeed, he knew of this family, which seemed to come from an organization called the Red Rose.
This organization was almost on par with the Knights of the Round Table, controlling most of the world’s tangible energy resources in their hands.
Moreover, the origins of this organization were quite interesting—they originated in Europe but eventually settled in the Red Sea.
Centuries ago, there was a war in Europe that lasted nearly a hundred years, the War of the Roses.
The war began because of a conflict between two royal families, but eventually escalated into a war between two great suzerain states.
The William’s family was one of the main forces in the battle at that time.
The Katola family was then affiliated with William’s family, shedding blood and making sacrifices for them.
But unexpectedly, William’s family suspected the Katola family of betrayal and annihilated their entire family.
Fortunately, a young person from the Katola family escaped, revitalizing the family once more.
Now that they’ve come back for revenge, it could hardly be considered unjust, but those were issues of past generations—how could they be compared together?
Chen Yu slightly adjusted his breathing and directly spread out the playing cards in his hand.
“I remember that the ancestors of the Katola family were nothing more than coachmen. It was William’s family that gave you glory and wealth! During the war back then, there were indeed traitors within your family who defected to the enemy. That much is a fact, isn’t it?”
The leader stood up abruptly and slammed his hand onto the table.
“Stop being annoying here. Since you want to stick your neck out for this old man, I’ll indulge you. But it’s your head that I’m going to bet on.”
Chen Yu laughed loudly, “Fine by me, but if I win, you’ll also have to offer up your head.”
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the innkeeper was so frightened that he was trembling, only managing to have his employees come over to serve tea.
Chen Yu, not wanting to make things complicated, proposed that both sides draw a playing card—the one with the higher number wins.
However, the deck of cards was to be thrown into the air, and each of them would grab a card out of thin air to compare their numbers.
