Chapter 1566: One Accident After Another

Normally, before Xia De, Agnelina always appeared as a fragile figure who never grew up, yet her expression and tone now were unusually stern. Her tender pink lips were extraordinarily alluring under the light, and the unyielding look in her eyes was something Xia De had never seen before.

The foreigner, surprised in his heart, nodded lightly:

"If judged from the perspective of a seventeen-year-old female individual, Your Highness, you are very beautiful."

Her white teeth gently bit her lip, and the little princess asked the next question with a smile:

"Xia De, if you truly treat me as a seventeen-year-old young lady and not merely as a beautiful vase ornament kept at home, then could you try... to kiss me? Even if, only this once."

In this moment, what Xia De felt was not excitement, nor agitation, nor unease, but a faint sadness.

He intended to mention Princess Lei Lei Qianya, but that would be very impolite to Agnelina; he intended to refuse, but even he could not produce a reason. 【Men...】

"She" spoke little today, yet always at just the right moment. "Ask once more, Xia De, is this vase of mine beautiful?"

She moved closer to Xia De on the sofa; the details of that face and the scent of her perfume directly assaulted Xia De's sight and smell. Xia De rarely lied, so he nodded at this moment:

"Very beautiful."

He felt his heartbeat accelerating, yet Agnelina did not continue speaking; instead, she stared blankly at him, then closed her eyes. In this moment, Xia De actually felt that in such a situation, if he did not kiss her, it would instead be an act of heinous evil:

"If this is also considered a sin, then what rune would be added to the 【Chain of Great Sins】?"

He did not quite understand why he thought this, nor did he know what he should do now was correct, or perhaps no matter what decision he made now, it would be wrong. Just looking at the closed-eyed Agnelina, after hesitating for a few seconds, he extended his hand and gently embraced Princess Gongzhudian.

He wanted to say something, but Agnelina's cheek, painted with blush, had already turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye; her body trembled once, then she waited for the important moment to follow.

She could feel Xia De getting closer, could feel the breath that made her heart race and the heat different from her own body temperature. Then—

Boom!

The door was quickly opened and then shut; two men in black formal suits held guns aimed at them: "Don't move!"

Xia De turned his head to look at them, feeling this scene was unexpectedly familiar. For a moment, he suspected whether this was Princess Lei Lei Qianya, who had known Agnelina's plan in advance, arranging to play a joke with her own sister.

But these were truly people coming with malice.

Agnelina took a deep breath, opened her eyes, and suppressed the strange impulse that had suddenly surged in her heart just now to kill everyone.

Xia De stood up and blocked in front of Agnelina, sized up the two men's attire, then remembered that just now, to avoid suspicion, he had not locked the door.

"Are you also François Restorationists?"

He asked with a frown. The two strangers exchanged a suspicious glance, not understanding the question. Thus, the shorter one of the two lowered his voice and said:

"Shut up; we are not that bunch of stinkbugs." The accent was not Tobesker.

The tall man quickly walked to the window, looked out cautiously, then drew the curtains. At the same time, the short man looked at Agnelina, as if confirming her identity:

"Indeed, a princess of the Cavendish family. Madam, please do not move recklessly behind your lover now. Yes, raise your hands so I can see them."

Then he spoke to Xia De again:

"Noble young ladies indeed like soft men like you, who are useless and merely have good-looking faces. You, stand against the wall; do not let me see any small movements from you. We are people of the Grey Gloves; you know we never show mercy in our dealings."

So they were absolutely not people of the Grey Gloves. Although Xia De had never seen his "colleagues" in Carsonlick, he at least knew that unless necessary, agents would not rashly use their organization to intimidate others.

Moreover, these two were obviously inferior to the "François Restorationist" from the afternoon; the latter could at least investigate Xia De's address and recognize him, whereas the two before him did not even know who he was.

"Xia De..." Agnelina tugged at Xia De's clothes. "It's fine; I'll handle it."

He comforted her softly, actually telling Agnelina not to take out the small pistol strapped to her thigh; this time was far more dangerous than last time. "Should I hand over my weapon first?"

Xia De asked the short man aiming a gun at him; the latter squinted slightly: "What do you have?"

The tall man also looked over, the muzzle aimed at Agnelina behind Xia De. "That is hard to say."

As Xia De spoke, he took the pistol from his waist and tossed it onto the table. This was a revolver issued by MI6, not the 【Gun of Goodness】. Xia De had not brought that gun this time; tonight's formal wear...

"Attending a banquet while carrying a gun? Who are you?"

The short man questioned somewhat nervously. Xia De shook his head: "I have another weapon."

Speaking, he took out his Luo De Pai again, and while the two men were puzzled, he suddenly flicked it. Accompanied by the sound of a gun-wielding wrist severed and falling to the ground, the short man before Xia De could not even cry out before the second card sliced through his throat.

He did not flick a card at the tall man either; instead, he embraced Agnelina, completely blocking her behind him, then quickly walked toward the tall man. It was not that he could not manipulate more cards simultaneously, but just now the muzzle had been aimed at Agnelina from another direction. Xia De was confident he would not miss, but he did not want to gamble on probability, so it was better to be conservative.

The sudden change made the tall man pause for a moment, but since he had rashly undertaken such an action, he was not a hesitant person. A pistol fitted with a silencer aimed at Xia De's chest and fired; the bullet struck his heart, yet Xia De continued walking forward without stopping at all. Amid the man's shocked expression, he casually snatched a fruit-cutting table knife from the table, and as he reached the man, stabbed the knife into his throat;

"Goodbye."

He covered the tall man's eyes, placed the corpse on the ground, pulled out the blood-stained table knife, and let the blood stain the carpet red.

Xia De took a deep breath, not knowing why he had encountered this matter again today. He then quickly turned and walked toward the corpse with the severed wrist, first using 【Living Earth】 to restore his arm and throat, then using 【Breath of Time】 to reverse time and eliminate the blood sprayed from the wrist. Only then did he take up the table knife again, stabbing it into the man's throat, turning the scene into "two versus one, counter-killed."

"Agnelina, are you alright?"

He intentionally blocked the little princess's view of the corpses, but Princess Gongzhudian did not care about these things at all. She walked over quickly, anxiously pressing her hand on Xia De's chest, already stained with blood; her eyes had already turned completely red:

"Xia De, you..."

【Heart of Stone】 ensured Xia De would not die from the heart wound, but the blood that should flow would still flow. "It's fine, really fine; you don't need to be nervous."

The spell 【Move Object】 together with muscular strength squeezed the bullet out of his body. The foreigner marveled at his own physical constitution, caught the bullet head, and put it in his pocket:

"I'm fine; in a moment, do not say any unnecessary words; I will explain."

He did not use 【Breath of Time】 to treat his clothes again; even with the 【Immortality Demon Ring】 offsetting the side effects, this miracle art still could not be used too often. He directly took off the blood-stained coat and white shirt, then restored the toy and put it on again. Of course, the damaged clothes also had to be taken back; after some time, he would use 【Breath of Time】 to restore them, after all, these clothes were really expensive. www. Biqigetv. net

"I'll help you clean up."

While taking off his clothes, the wound on his chest was completely exposed. Agnelina pressed her lips, her eyes red, took out her handkerchief, pressed it against Xia De's chest, and bit her lip as she wiped the blood from his skin. The powerful thumping of the heart and the warmth of the skin made her face redder and redder. Then, Agnelina helped Xia De change into a new shirt, arranged his clothes neatly, and even thoughtfully dripped a few drops of red wine onto the cuffs to prove the clothes were not brand new.

Having done all this, Xia De held the bullet head between his fingers, flicked it forcefully with a bent finger; the bullet pierced straight through the glass. The immense pressure the bullet generated upon striking the glass caused the glass to shatter into small fragments while emitting a piercing sound of breaking.

This sound was not very clear amidst the lively open-air banquet, but it was enough to prove that shots were indeed fired during the "two versus one, counter-killed" incident.

That sound quickly attracted the manor's guards. Although, due to political considerations, a scene of a large number of guards surrounding the manor did not occur next, the banquet that should have been lively was abruptly halted because of this.

Because it involved a princess encountering assassins, the Redvich faction sent the most professional agents to survey the scene; MI6's action team entered afterward. As guests left the manor, they discussed the matter in hushed tones, but for the moment, no one knew exactly what had happened.

And as the victims, Xia De and Agnelina, after briefly recounting the encounter just now, went to a side room to rest temporarily. When Miss Jia Lin Na, who had come from the third-floor study with the maids, arrived on the first floor, the Royal Guards were already stationed outside their room, ensuring no further accidents would occur.

And Count Verard, standing sweating at the entrance hall of the manor mansion, nodded to Director Director Anluosi, then hurriedly walked toward the Duchess to explain.

"Whatever you have to say, you can tell MI6. Count, we know this matter has nothing to do with you; you need not worry about that point. Now please step aside; I want to see my grand-niece first."

Miss Jia Lin Na said, and the maids blocked the Count to one side.

Seeing her arrive, the royal guards bowed and stepped aside from the doorway. And the red-haired duchess had only just opened the door when she saw Ajelina kissing Xia De, pressing him down onto the sofa. The fluffy sky-blue ceremonial gown looked very wide, but because of the difference in height it could not cover Xia De's legs. On the contrary, the white stockings worn on the Princess's feet in those black high heels, set against the red sofa cover, were quite eye-catching.
