Chapter 78 Zerg 12 “Well then, I hope we have a pleasant cooperation. ……”

As expected, the head of the Lancaster family knows something.

Amoris pondered in his mind for a moment, and in a few seconds, he came up with several guesses.

What exactly does Ivan know? How deeply is he involved with the coliseum, or rather, the forces behind the coliseum?

These were the answers he desperately wanted to know.

But Amoris also knew deeply that now was not the time.

“If that’s the case, then come up with me to get it.” Ivan naturally picked up the thread of the conversation, “That thing is in the storage room, and the butler doesn’t have the authority to open it.”

When Ivan said this, he glanced at the butler standing aside, dressed meticulously and standing upright. After noticing the head of the Ivan family’s gaze, the butler bowed slightly and gave a friendly smile in their direction, then nodded in greeting.

Amoris, who also turned his gaze with Ivan, naturally noticed this scene.

It seems he wants to talk alone.

A trace of hesitation flashed in Amoris’ eyes, which then turned into caution and solemnity in the next second. With just a lift of his eyes, it all disappeared again, hiding it very well.

The clear blue eyes were like a cloudless sky, clean and without any ulterior motives.

Amoris withdrew his gaze, raised a smile, and nodded slightly to Ivan, agreeing to his invitation.

Just right, although it was a bit unexpected, this was a rare opportunity, perhaps allowing him to extract some information from the mouth of the head of the Ivan family.

And Ivan also looked at Amoris frankly, cunningly hiding his thoughts.

On the surface, the two looked like a harmonious elder and junior, but the undercurrents churning beneath the calm surface were only understood by the two of them.

For Ivan, whether Amoris heard the hidden meaning in his words or not, the purpose had been achieved.

He also needed such an opportunity to be alone with Amoris.

An opportunity…

That could bring him one step closer to the pinnacle of power.

Also an opportunity…

That could change fate and revitalize the Lancaster family.

The two of them, one in front of the other, temporarily left under the gaze of all the guests.

And the two, each with their own thoughts, did not notice the obscure gaze from Arnold behind them.

The red eyes were particularly dazzling in the golden hall, like a candle in the darkness, flickering uncertainly.

On a long and narrow corridor.

Two dull footsteps sounded one after the other, the sound of leather shoes stepping on the thick carpet.

The corridor was very long, like a world away from the noisy banquet hall.

The Lancaster family’s manor was very large, a fact that Amoris knew before coming, after all, it was a family that had been passed down for hundreds of years. However, now it seemed that the size of this manor was far beyond his imagination, because Amoris had been following Ivan for five minutes, and now he couldn’t tell where he was.

And this corridor seemed to have no end in sight.

It was particularly quiet here, with dim sconces lit on the walls on both sides, emitting a faint light.

Amoris continued to follow Ivan forward, lagging behind Ivan by half a body’s length.

Along the way, he could only hear the faint sound of his and Ivan’s breathing, and the regular “tick” sound coming from an unknown room, like an old clock pendulum.

Finally, Ivan stopped in front of a door.

He stopped, entered the password in front of the door, and then verified his fingerprint and iris.

With a “click,” the door lock opened.

Ivan reached out and placed his hand on the doorknob.

The light emitted by the sconce hit his face at an angle, reflecting a few unexpected gullies.

And Ivan’s hand remained on the doorknob, hesitating to turn it down.

“You,” Ivan paused deliberately, “are you really from the k27 star system?”

“Or rather, were you really born in the k27 star system?” He turned his back to Amoris, a gleam of light flashing in his deep blue eyes.

This was a clear hint.

Hearing this, Amoris was slightly stunned, as if surprised by Ivan’s question.

Immediately, he smiled and replied naturally: “Of course, could it be that I am some noble’s child wandering outside? Head of the Ivan family, you are so joking.”

The slaves and nobles of the k27 star system are such a distant distance.

But now, they are in the same space, separated by only an arm’s length.

Without any sound, the two had tacitly launched the first round of confrontation.

And Amoris’ meaningful words did not seem to satisfy Ivan, as could be seen from his still furrowed brows.

However, Amoris didn’t care whether Ivan got the answer he wanted.

He believed that in the face of greater interests, the clarity of this answer was not worth mentioning.

Ivan smiled lightly, as if he had figured something out, and then tightened his fingers and pressed down on the doorknob.

The room was pitch black, quickly swallowing the two of them.

A quarter of an hour later, the ancient golden bronze doorknob turned again, and the two came out of the room in sequence.

“Well then, I hope we have a pleasant cooperation.” Ivan’s voice came from the room, which was still pitch black, making it impossible to see his expression.

“…” Amoris maintained the posture of opening the door, he lowered his head and chuckled, like a sigh.

The warm yellow light drilled in from the crack of the door, illuminating half of Amoris’ face.

He lowered his eyebrows slightly, his slender eyelashes casting a fan-shaped shadow, and his face wore the same gentle smile as usual, but because of the light, it added a bit of danger.

“Of course. I wish us a pleasant cooperation.”
