Panic spread in an instant, and in the harsh friction between the chair and the ground when he stood up, someone jumped up, and an ancient language was whispered.

The dark environment was like the boundless deep sea. In front of where everyone needed to look up, the white flames seemed like a storm setting off huge waves, roaring silently. Under his gaze, those pairs of angry golden pupils were like candles in the wind.

It was extinguished like fire, and all its light was taken away in an instant.

The people rushing into the formation flew back, the chanting stopped abruptly, heavy objects fell to the ground, tables and chairs broke apart, shrill screams and painful wails came one after another. There seemed to be an invisible big hand in the darkness, holding their hands tightly.

The heart, extracting the power that had been stolen, controlled their lives like the god of death.

"Who on earth are you!" In the vortex of death, the old guy who had been sitting in the first place lay on the ground in a state of embarrassment and weakness, roaring unwillingly, his previously brilliant golden eyes like a cold torch.

But no one could answer his questions, because at their meeting tonight, the manager who could recognize Gu Chen as a second-tier dealer who occasionally came here to sell fake wine happened to be on leave tonight.

A spark suddenly appeared in the circuit, and it burned to the tablecloth in the blink of an eye. Then the high-strength wine, with a blue flame edge appearing among the orange and red, burned the darkness.

Smoke and fire blurred his vision, and he saw his companions lying on the ground in weird postures. Their pupils were as dim as his own, and their skin was as pale as bones. The blood that was no longer boiling told them that they had lost thousands of lives.

Gifts received over the years.

He saw the man who had brought them terror walk out of the door with frivolous steps and disappear from the end of his field of vision.

The bar named Homecoming soon burst into flames. Thick smoke billowed inside, but the mist outside dispersed.

The night is still deep, and this is the street of the old city. Behind Gu Chen is the increasingly bright firelight. He pauses on the steps, as if he is nostalgic. The white flame-like pupils have returned to calm, and the starlight seems to be beginning to care about this place.

He stretched out his hand, and at first a drop or two fell, then sporadic light rain fell.

There was a small sealed glass bottle in the open palm, and the bright red viscous fluid was boiling like lava.

He went through a lot of research in a short period of time before he set his sights on such a small group with no deep background. Unfortunately, the dragon blood that could be purified was of little use.

"Good rain knows the season." Gu Chen said softly.

As he walked forward, the street lights flickered from near to far, one by one, like jack-o-lanterns guiding the journey to the unknown, with fine raindrops floating in the light and shadow.

…

The next day, Regent Hotel, the most luxurious hotel in this small town, a global chain, five-star hotel.

The uncle's family is sitting in the lobby bar waiting for Professor Guderian.

Lu Gucheng was shyly trying to teach his son the life experience he had accumulated after half a lifetime of failure, while Lu Mingze, who was being taught, was focused on fighting the dark chocolate given during tea, and could not remember what he was talking about. Lu Gucheng

I started to popularize dark chocolate around the city, saying that it is a good thing, rich in dopamine, and eating it can make people feel happy.

The aunt began to complain that he couldn't stop talking for a moment, "Don't you see that your eldest nephew is tired of hearing it, and now he disappears?"

"Where's Mingfei?" Uncle realized later and raised his buttocks from the sofa.

Although it was a breakfast appointment between him and Professor Guderian, the protagonist today is Lu Mingfei. If the main character is missing, what kind of breakfast is there?

Fortunately, Lu Mingze pointed at the door, and they saw Lu Mingfei standing there as if waiting for someone.

Of course, this was not because Lu Mingze was sharp-eyed or worried about him, but because he had been preventing him from grabbing the dark chocolate from him, so although he was not listening to what Lu Gucheng said, half of his attention was on his cheap cousin.

At this time, at the entrance of the hotel, Lu Mingfei, who had specially dressed up, was pacing back and forth anxiously, as if he was uneasy.

News spread quickly in the small town. The fire that burned down a bar in the old street last night spread throughout the morning. It was only then that everyone knew that there was a bar there, and the decoration was good just from the ruins.

, and it’s also very impressive.

But precisely because of its little-known reputation and the fact that the fire that completely burned the bar did not spread to the buildings on both sides, a lot of gossip spread around the neighborhood for a while.

Guang Lu Mingfei heard seven or eight versions.

But because his aunt was in a hurry in the morning, he never had time to call Gu Chen. When he arrived at the hotel, he borrowed a phone from the front desk and dialed, but no one answered.

He remembered that Gu Chen said he was going to a bar last night, so now he was worried to death. Just when Lu Mingfei made up his mind to visit his house, someone got off a bus that stopped not far away.

Lu Mingfei ran over without hesitation.

"What's wrong?" Gu Chen looked at him as if he was angry and about to cry, thinking that the aunt had finally started to use force.

Lu Mingfei sniffed and said, "It's nothing. When we had tea just now, the hotel gave us chocolates, but Lu Mingze snatched them away."

Gu Chen looked at his unnatural gaze and softened his voice, "I'll buy it for you later. Let's eat white chocolate."

With Lu Mingfei's mind, it was impossible to think that he had never been here before, but he was talking about 'white chocolate' instead of 'chocolate'. At that moment, he just scratched his head and smiled, saying don't keep the American professor waiting.

When the two of them walked into the hotel, they happened to see a man dressed as a waiter talking to Lu Gucheng.

As soon as he saw Lu Mingfei, his uncle immediately waved and shouted, "Where did you go, kid? Come here quickly!"

"Are you Mr. Lu Mingfei?" The well-dressed waiter walked up to Gu Chen.

Lu Mingfei subconsciously wanted to agree, but when he saw it, he realized that this guy was not talking to him at all. He dared to admit the wrong person? This made Lu Mingfei, who was called "sir" for the first time in his life, a little unhappy.

"It's not him, this one is." Fortunately, my uncle is an experienced martial artist and can handle such small scenes with ease.

Lu Gucheng knew Gu Chen only by his name and had met him twice.

There are really two sides. One time I saw him and his eldest nephew each coming out of an Internet cafe with a bottle of Nutritional Express. They were wearing suits and jackets from a brand I still couldn’t recognize. When they were leaning on the frame of the mirror and smiling, they looked like members of a local club.

White gloves.

Another time was in a coffee shop, where he was drinking coffee with a foreigner wearing a Tang suit. At that time, Lu Gucheng vaguely heard a broken English sentence, which seemed to be 'i'm fine, thanks, and you?'

At this time, the waiter also reacted, apologized sheepishly, and turned around.

The uncle opened his mouth, probably wanting to say something, for example, he is also a regular customer here, how about spinning this thing?

However, because there was an outsider like Gu Chen, he didn't want to show his timidity. This was an experience gained from being in society for a long time.

When her aunt, who knew him best, saw his kindness, she was immediately in awe of the American school, and instantly forgot that the purpose of her trip was to verify whether the letter was a scam.

As for the fat man next to him, Lu Mingze, he was looking at Gu Chen's wrist and repeatedly confirming whether he was wearing an electronic watch. The combination of suit and electronic watch was really too advanced.
