The obedient woman …


    udio Belles had an internal shudder.


    Obedience be damned!


    Tom Paul in his car, back to the Chalet Lookout on the mountain at udio Belles.


    udio Belles sat in the passenger side of the car, thinking about what Eduardo Tercero had said and feeling increasingly agitated.


    Tom Paul, seeing that he was acting like a child with ADHD, joked, “udio, in all the years I’ve been your partner, I’ve never seen you so upset about a rival. Honestly, you wouldn’t be in love with someone after your one-night stand with Ice de, would you?”


    “I love you, my ass!”


    Heh, soporific, angry to the point of blushing, out of control, all signs of the unusual influence this man, Ice de, has over udio Belles.


    “Did you juste to an agreement with Ice de or not? You told me not toe out and interrupt your conversation, I didn’te out to do anything wrong.”


    udius Belles growled softly, “Count on the deal.”


    Tom Paul’s eyes shed with surprise and he asked nosily, “What exactly did you offer Ice de, did he say yes so fast?”


    udius Belles gave Tom Paul a look that said “yes” when Ice de was so difficult.


    “And don’t you see what I sacrificed…”


    The words came out of his mouth, but udius Belles bit them down and swallowed them.


    He decided not to tell anyone about such a humiliating fact. How else could he go on in the future?


    Tom Paul’s eyes lit up, and then he stared at her and asked, “You’re not … sacrificing your beauty, are you?”


    “No way!”


    udius Belles also seemed to realize that he had gone a bit overboard and he swallowed saliva again and said, “I only promised him that by joining forces to eradicate Orlondo Marta, Esteban Zaragosa would sign a one hundred year truce with them, the R’s, on behalf of the Ming Organization and the Z’s.”


    The price was tempting and sincere enough that Tom Paul didn’t hesitate.


    “This Ice de has a big appetite. But there’s no point, you’ve gone out after him and he hasn’t taken advantage of you….. Ice de is too decent, isn’t he?”


    Decent people…?


    Heh, Ice de if he was decent, there probably wouldn’t be any bad guys in this world.


    udius Belles pursed his red lips and said in an unkind tone, “Does it look like I’m a bully?”


    Tom Paul shrugged, “You don’t look anything like that.


    …


    Aboard a helicopter flying to R.


    Old K inquired, “Master of the Court, are we really going to join forces with those three ouws to eradicate Orlondo Marta’s forces?”


    Edward the Third looked out the window into the night and said in a light voice, “It was only a matter of time before we got rid of Orlondo Marta, he has been provoking war all along, and the Ming Organization has brought us a lot of trouble under his leadership in recent years. Even without the three of them, we will have a battle with Orlondo Marta sooner orter. ”


    “Court Master, then what exactly did you promise … ck Rose to the Dark Organization just now?”


    “Z and R have been friends for 100 years.”


    -And, stay with him for a hundred days.


    Old K smiled and said, “It seems that this ck Rose is still a man who knows what he is doing. Master of the Court, we have made a great profit this time.”


    Edward the Third raised an eyebrow, unimpressed, “Really? I don’t see the possibility of helping you if not with that added condition.”


    “Added conditions? Is it hard to say that added conditions are more tempting?” inquired old K with curiosity and surprise.


    Edward the Third opened his mouth slightly, with a hint of jocrity and anticipation in his eyes, saying quietly, “I’m more looking forward to the hundred days you’re going to give me.”


    Old K was confused.


    She? You mean… ck Rose?


    The Court Master wouldn’t really be in love with that murderous ck Rose, would he?


    …


    udio Belles returned to Chalet on the Mountain Lookout with Tom Paul and checked that Esteban Zaragosa was not in Dulcina Calvo’s room.


    Chalet on the Mountain Lookout is numerous, as many special rooms have been built, with medical rooms,boratories, practice rooms, martial arts rooms, shooting rooms …


    “Where did this Esteban Zaragosa go? You look on the second floor, I’ll look on the first floor.”


    After instructing Tom Paul, udio Belles searched one by one the function rooms on the first floor and finally found Esteban Zaragosa in theboratory.


    On theb table was a stack of medical books and a pile of drugs.


    “What are you doing?”


    Esteban Zaragosa didn’t even look up as he continued his experiments, “I don’t think I can’t develop an antidote. I can’t just leave Dulcina lying there like the living dead, what’s the difference between being alive and dead if she’s barely keeping her heartbeat going with a bunch of instruments and potions?”


    udius Belles frowned, “But how long are you going to keep trying like this before you can try the antidote? I’ll send Tom Paul to help you.”


    After udius Belles called Tom Paul, the two men stayed in theb all night.


    In the second half of the night, udius Belles tossed and turned in bed in his silk robe, having trouble sleeping. After pouring himself a ss of water and finishing it, he noticed that theb light was still on and went over to this side, where, through theb’s huge ss window, he saw Tom Paul asleep on theb table and Esteban Zaragosa still doggedly experimenting, next to a pile of dead mice.


    udio Belles hugged himself and looked at theb man with a slight sigh.Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Dulcina Calvo had risked being swallowed by wolves when she had gone to fetch the Meritorious for Esteban Zaragosa, and Esteban Zaragosa had gone alone to the Dark Court to rescue Dulcina Calvo, and now she spent her days and nights in theb, frantically working on a cure.


    Why should she be afraid to make a sacrifice for the sake of a century of friendship between Z and R?


    Perhaps they were never meant to indulge in petty love, but in their profession, with their mission in tow, they are forced to sacrifice something.
