Lejon couldn't trust Ed.
Ed lied, and in the letters, he claimed that he had taken control of the b********y in his body and that it was impossible to repeat the mistakes of the past.
Ed smiled and shook his head: "You're testing me, okay, I lied to you, but you don't need to be so vigilant, we've lived together for 14 years, you know me."
"I won't hurt you."
Lechon stood up: "You're right, but you may have changed.
"When you brought that statue into the basement, I saw something take root in your heart, and it slowly distorted your mind.
"If you really believe me, give it to me for safekeeping."
When Lejon was eight years old, Ed was given a strange statue, and he became madly obsessed with it, carrying the stone with him every day, and gradually his body grew stronger and stronger, and the craving for meat grew every day.
Until that full moon night.
He transforms into a werewolf and kills Catherine.
Now the statue is locked in the basement.
However, Lechon discovers that three years after Catherine's funeral, Ed often sneaks back to the basement in the middle of the night.
Ed also stood up, walked up to Lejon, looked down at him, and said firmly, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have taken you to the basement back then, you've seen it, right, it has a kind of magic, I can hear it whispering to me."
"I know it's wrong, but I can't restrain my greed for it, and it seems like a curse from the Great Father, perhaps because He wants to punish me for betraying my identity.
"It's not a treasure, it's a terrible curse, and I must take it upon myself, no one has the will to fight it, not even you, Lejon."
Although Ed was right, and seemed to be afraid that this thing would hurt Lejon, he was still a little skeptical, Ed was a good businessman, and lying was his basic quality, maybe it was just his excuse.
Lejon believes that it is the werewolf blood and the statue that feed Ed's madness, and when he sees the statue himself, he can hear the words from the depths of his heart: "Get it." ”
This desire lasted for about two years before dissipating.
Ed reached out and patted Lejon on the right shoulder, "I know what you're thinking.
"Although I am also resisting handing it over inwardly, this is not a reason for me to refuse you.
"Lejon, you say a lot, but it doesn't really mean much.
"I know you better than you know me, I grew up watching you, but you didn't witness the first half of my life.
"You're back, even if your words are ugly, you've made your choice, and if you really didn't plan to help me, I wouldn't have seen you at all.
"You'll write me back and never hear from me again."
Lejon stared into his eyes, trying to get some insight into something: "I'm back, but that's all, I'll go out on my own these days......" Ed chuckled, "But you don't have a chance."
"We said that you are in charge of dealing with them," Lejon said. ”
Ed smiled: "Yes, but you also have to meet them, I plan to talk to Anthony and Marino at the banquet to reach a consensus as much as possible, but I need you to be there, after all, this is also your money." ”
Lejon disagreed: "You trust me too much, I can't help you with this, I don't know anything about Joton now, and I don't know anything about Anthony. ”
Lejon is well aware of his abilities, and all he has is a vision that is ahead of his time, but Ed often expects too much from him.
This is also normal, if he meets someone who can easily say the future trend, Lai Joan will also feel that the other person's wisdom is unfathomable.
Ed agreed, "I didn't say what you had to do, you can get to know some young people at the banquet, and they will come to talk to me in the eyes of the guests."
"You can use this as a real welcome party and enjoy the life of the lower class, after all, you are a member of the Sofarin family.
"You can talk to young people, make friends, and Anthony's only daughter will be there."
"You've seen how beautiful Elsa is, but she's a big celebrity among the young nobles of Jotun nowadays, you might be able to capture her heart?
"After all, you are also a handsome and intelligent young man, and I haven't seen you for a few years, you seem to be even better looking than before, maybe you steal her heart directly at the banquet, and we can become allies with Anthony."
Ed smiled.
It was clear that he was just joking.
Lai Qiong said, "Let me think about it again, when is the banquet?" ”
Ed advised: "Two days later, you pay attention these days, don't go to East Jotun, two-thirds of East Yotun is his territory, even the area of Old Marino is as far away as possible."
Then, Ed stared at Lechon for a moment, and said earnestly, "You're home, it's more important than anything else." ”
Lejon nodded slightly, then turned and walked out the door.
Click.
After seeing Lejon leave the mansion, Ed slowly put away the smile on his face, and he walked out of the living room with a blank face, through the long corridor covered with oil paintings, to the ornate wooden door.
Ed pushed open the door to the restaurant, where the ten-meter-long table was filled with iron trays.
He walked to the end of the long table.
Raise your hand to uncover the lid in front of you.
Bloody steaks are placed in the middle of the plate.
It is raw meat of the cow.
Ed lifted his sleeves and stretched out his arms for the raw steak with a slight trembling arm.
He grabbed it, blood dripping down his fingers, staining the white tablecloth in front of him.
Ed picked up the raw meat in both hands.
Took a big bite.
Hungry.
Ed reached out again, picked up a second piece of raw meat, and shoved it straight into his mouth, this time without even chewing it, and swallowed the meat into his stomach.
The third piece.
He lifted his palate, revealing a mouth full of fangs, black hair poking out of his skin, and as Ed chewed, his muscles slowly bulging and pulling open the collar and hem of his suit.
The fourth piece.
After a low howl, the monster tore apart its bound clothes, and the black wolf jumped onto the table, its wagging tail overturning the iron lid of the table, and he lowered his head to nibble on the raw meat "on the ground", and with the swallowing motion of his throat, the black beast's body continued to grow.
One piece, another piece.
It stretched out its wolf claws and stepped on the tablecloth, greedily searching for each piece of fresh meat, and the large pieces of raw flesh were swallowed into its mouth, and the fangs easily crushed the bones, and the head was lowered to gnaw on the flesh.
The bright silver moon has returned to the night sky, and in the luxurious human mansion, a huge five-meter-tall werewolf is lying on the dining table, enjoying its own gluttonous feast.
He is a servant of the Silver Moon, a greedy beast, a hungry monster, and a deformed creature thirsting for fresh meat.
He is Ed · Sofaran.
