Telling Serena the truth about her was something Lake had planned long ago.
Otherwise, Lake wouldn't have let Selena follow here.
no way.
Who made Selina the heroine of the night? Lake scoffed at the so-called protagonist law. Since he entered the scene, the protagonist can only be him, and only him.
But I don't believe it.
It is still necessary to take precautions.
Just like Lake began to directly control the good-for-nothing Wesley, who knows if there will be any remaining luck of the protagonist to add half to this matter.
Besides.
It seems that the reason why his unfilial son hangs out with Kraven is because his unfilial son, like Kraven, has fallen in love with Selina.
So here comes the question.
If the son is too stupid and has reached the point of being hopeless, is there any better way besides killing him directly?
Find a smart daughter-in-law to take care of her stupid husband.
so...
After weighing the pros and cons, Lake decided to spare Serena's life.
As for the unconscious Michael Cowen?
Lake didn't take an irrelevant person seriously at all.
Lucian looked at Selena who had let go, and gave a look to one of his wolf minions. At the same time, the look he gave Selena was no longer so hostile.
after all...
Both of them have a blood feud with Victor.
Even though the two were of different races, Lucian knew that in the face of blood feud, the enemy of my enemy was my friend.
If Lucian was a pedantic person, he would not have formed an alliance with Kraven and used his own flesh and blood to help Kraven successfully ascend to the position of second in command of the Vampire Council.
A wolf boy looked at Selina vigilantly, then walked to Selina's side, stretched out his claws, and grabbed Michael Cowen who was unconscious on the ground.
Just then.
Michael Cohen opened his eyes with a swish, and with a crazy expression he looked towards the fault on the second floor, ready to jump down.
but...
An ordinary person, and a doctor at that, can he be faster than the vampires and werewolves here?
A werewolf grabbed Michael directly.
Michael yelled loudly: "Let me go, damn it, let me go."
Bang!
Michael fainted magnificently once again.
Lucian said, "Take him back first."
The werewolves here looked at each other, then howled and left with Michael Cowen.
"Selena?"
Lake's little cotton-padded jacket Catherine walked up to Serena who was standing there in a daze and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
Selina came back to her senses and looked at Katherine who was looking at her with a worried expression.
Lake said directly: "When Victor killed your family, Emilia and Marcus had fallen into a deep sleep again according to the agreement at that time. Emilia was unaware of your situation."
Xiao Mian'ao looked at Lake with a hint of surprise on his face: "Really, Daddy?"
Lake smiled and said, "I don't bother to lie about this kind of thing."
Emilia really didn't know.
If Emilia knew about this, then the idea that Serena might become his daughter-in-law would have no basis at all. Even if Lake made up a lie, he would still feel uneasy.
After all, Lake doesn't want to receive news one day that Selena, who knows the truth, has killed his son and daughter. If that happens, Lake will collapse.
Of course.
Just kill your son.
If his daughter died, Lake would feel guilty for the rest of his life. Even if he had to fight his way through hell, he would get his daughter back from Mephisto.
An hour later.
The train started to move with a rumble.
On the train back to the castle.
Little Cotton Jacket Catherine looked at Lake with some curiosity: "Daddy, do you think Lucian will do what you say?"
Lake came back to his senses and looked at his little cotton-padded jacket: "Does he have a choice?"
Catherine thought about it, then shook her head.
Maybe Lucian had a choice before.
But in the face of absolute power, Lucian's only choice was the one Lake offered him.
As long as he cares about his own life.
only...
Catherine frowned. "But this choice will also lead to Lucian's death."
Lake looked at his little cotton-padded jacket: "Why do you say that?"
Catherine tapped her chin. "If he disobeys Daddy and attacks Mom, he'll die. But if he obeys Daddy and kills Marcus and Victor, Mom, as the last remaining elder, will still kill Lucian to avenge Marcus and Victor. Furthermore, you and Lucian have shared so much. If he reveals anything, it will be very dangerous for Mom to completely seize power."
"clever."
"Of course, I'm your daughter. It's up to you."
"Ha ha!"
Lake laughed happily twice, then looked at his little friend and said, "So, what do you think Lucian would choose?"
Catherine shrugged and said, "If he chooses the former, Lucian has a high probability of death. If he chooses the latter, he has a high probability of death. He will choose the latter."
The bottom line instinct of any living thing is survival.
One is a real dead end.
The other path still has a glimmer of hope, and on this path, there are two enemies that he can kill.
How to choose?
Clear at a glance.
"But..."
Catherine was silent for a moment and then said, "What about Serena, Daddy, do you want to kill Serena too?"
Lake smiled and said, "This is a test for her."
Catherine frowned.
Yes.
For Serena, this is a test of her IQ.
And the open-book exam began.
Knowing that Lucian's enemy is the same as her father's murderer, if Selina still doesn't know what to do, then it can only be said that her IQ is questionable.
It's better not to have such a stupid daughter-in-law.
Of course.
If Selena understood but was still blinded by anger and wanted to kill Victor with her own hands, it would not be impossible. This shows that she has blood in her veins. Lake would also protect her, but the score for Selena as his daughter-in-law would be lowered.
Lake smiled, lowered his head and thought for a while, then said "oh" and looked up at his little cotton-padded jacket: "Why, have you thought of anything?"
"Daddy."
"Um?"
"You're bad."
"You can choose to help Serena."
Catherine blinked and trembled, looking very weak. "Daddy, I'm very weak. If any werewolf comes, I'll be in danger of being killed."
Lake chuckled and said, "Weak, but he's still a hundred times stronger than your stupid brother."
Catherine has always been very harsh in her words to her brother David. She enjoys being sarcastic and likes to use words to attack her stupid brother whenever she has nothing to do.
If she didn't have the absolute strength to back her up, would Catherine still be so mean to her brother?
You have to know that Emilia has issued a ban to Catherine, forbidding Catherine to hit David on her own initiative. What this means is self-evident. Even Emilia needs to use 80% of her strength to truly suppress Catherine.
From this we can see that Catherine's weakness is not weakness, but pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.
That's good.
Although Lake was not optimistic about the behavior of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, Catherine was a daughter, so it was different. Why did a girl need such a strong aura? She should just be quiet and gentle, and not provoke others. If others provoke Catherine, they would not end up well.
Catherine shook Lake's arm: "Daddy, I'm weak. You have so many good things, just give me one."
Lake laughed and said, "You've already reserved the Destiny Coin and storage space from me, so why do you think it's not enough? Your stupid brother doesn't have anything. If your mother knew, she would say I'm biased."
Catherine smiled sweetly, "That's because I'm smart. Smart and sensible children naturally get preferential treatment. This is also used to motivate that stupid little brother and make him learn from me."
Lake rolled his eyes.
Let that rebellious son learn to be sharp-tongued from Catherine?
Catherine's sharp tongue is backed by her strength. If an enemy who can't stand the provocation comes up, Catherine can still beat the shit out of him.
That stupid rebellious son?
I guess the enemy will beat the shit out of me.
"Daddy."
"Okay, okay."
Lake sighed, waved his right hand, and a bamboo dragonfly appeared in Lake's hand.
Catherine blinked at the bamboo dragonfly-like thing.
What's this?
Toys?
[Bamboo Dragonfly: Item, A-rank, Fantasy-type. Its function is as the name suggests: worn overhead, it can be controlled with the mind. Practice makes perfect. This item is the most frequently appearing item in a certain anime, bar none.]
This prop was one of the ones Lake extracted from Hydra's one million regarding the late female killer.
As for the other nine items?
Let me put it this way.
Not a single golden legend dropped.
Moreover, this time, the ten props that came out seemed to be in conflict with this damn animation, even the things that came out of the bonus treasure chest were the same.
"That's right!"
Lake raised his eyebrows, took out the things from the treasure chest that came with the ten-pull draw, and handed them to his little cotton-padded jacket.
"What's this?"
Little Cotton-padded Jacket Catherine looked at the semicircular cloth bag in her hand and blinked.
[Four-Dimensional Pocket: Prop, SS-Rank, Fantasy-type, the blue fat man's four-dimensional pocket. Forget it, it's empty, with no props inside. The size of the space is about the same as that of an average-sized Japanese house.]
Lake took the four-dimensional pocket of the little cotton-padded jacket and put it on his daughter's T-shirt with a snap. He said to his daughter, "Let me put you in and see."
Catherine blinked and reached into her pocket.
Next second.
Wow!
The little cotton-padded jacket's eyes lit up instantly.
Lake looked at the little girl who was having fun playing there and asked: "Do you like it?"
Xiao Mian'ao nodded, then looked at the bamboo dragonfly in her hand: "What about this one?"
"Put it on your head and see."
"Oh…ah!"
The little cotton-padded jacket that was directly carried up by the bamboo dragonfly shouted happily, and then started to crash around everywhere in the train with bangs.
"Oh, shit!"
"Stop."
"Bang!"
"Ah, that hurts."
"Woo, Daddy, save me."
"…"
