“Eduardo Tercero, I’m not joking with you, I’m serious, Dulcina Calvo would be of no use to you if she died!”
Eduardo Tercero raised his eyebrows and looked at Claudio Belles with interest, “What does Dulcina Calvo’s death have to do with me?”
Claudio Belles said in a serious manner, “If Dulcina Calvo dies, Esteban Zaragosa won’t feel like being the head of the Ming Organization, and if Esteban Zaragosa runs away, who will you sign the 100-year alliance between Z and C with? ”
Eduardo Tercero rubbed his chin and nodded deliberately, “What you say … doesn’t seem so far-fetched.”
Claudio Belles thought Eduardo Tercero really believed him and continued, “Yes, if you were to give Dulcina Calvo that Centurion pill, if Dulcina Calvo wakes up, Esteban Zaragosa, a man I know, would certainly pay you back, and with a huge benefit you can’t imagine. And it’s a huge benefit you can’t imagine, you won’t lose out.”
Eduardo Tercero’s eyes rolled and his face grew cold, “But it’s just that I don’t want to save Lobo Blanco’s wife.”
“… Eduardo Tercero, don’t be funny, we’ve known each other for a long time, we’re friends at least, are you one of those who won’t save a dead woman?”
“Friends? When have I ever said I wanted to be your friend? Besides, at the bottom of the mountain, who said our cooperation was over for the time being, and who just took Old K and me down the mountain?”
Old K nodded vigorously, “Yes, Miss Claudio, you were quick to go to our Court Master when you were in need, but as soon as you turned around and used our Court Master, you ignored us, and so sincerely, do you still want our Court Master to give you the Hundred Spirit Pill? Not to mention that our Pavilion Master is happy about it, I even fight for the Pavilion Master.”
“Listen to that, even my men don’t think it’s a good idea.”
Claudius Belles bit his red lip, “What’s not good, you don’t think the price I’m offering you isn’t attractive enough?”
Eduardo Tercero curved his thin lips, with a tinge of amusement in his eyes, “Do you have any other offers I’m interested in?”
Claudio Belles cleared his throat, looked at Old K, who was following Eduardo Tercero, and said, “You … tell Old K to leave for now, I have something to tell you alone.”
Words that could only be spoken alone with him.
A faint smile shone in the man’s eyes as he stared at her; the woman’s words were undoubtedly pleasant to him.
“Old K, go wait outside first.”
Old K felt a little uneasy, after all, this Black Rose was cunning and devious in his eyes, perhaps she had some kind of calculations and intentions against the Court Master now, “Court Master, you have to be careful.”
When Old K had left, Edward the Third made his way to the side of the couch and sat down, looking all ears, “Go ahead, what can you bring me?”
Claudio Belles took a deep breath and relented, “Earlier you asked me to stay with you for a hundred days, now you bring out the hundred elixirs and save Dulcina Calvo, I can stay with you for a hundred and twenty days, what do you think?”
Eduardo Tercero was only interested in her beauty and her body, one hundred days was the company, one hundred and twenty days too, it was not certain who would sleep with whom!
Although Claudio Belles took it for granted, his ears still blushed a little when Eduardo Tercero’s deep, burning gaze rested on his face after saying these words.
Eduardo Tercero snorted, “Don’t you even care about your pride for Lobo Blanco?”.
Claudio Belles was proud, but now he was being used as a condition and price for a man, to save that man’s girlfriend.
Eduardo Tercero was furious and irritated for no reason.
Claudio Belles frowned, “Isn’t that the kind of offer you want me to make? And now you’re behaving like a gentleman?”
Edward the Third got up from the sofa and walked past her indifferently, “Don’t take yourself so seriously, I wouldn’t give you a hundred pills for another two hundred days. Only one hundred and twenty days, do you think you’re worth it?”.
“…”
Claudio Belles was humiliated by her words, successfully, and clenched his fists, “Eduardo Tercero, don’t get ahead of yourself!”
Eduardo Tercero turned to the door of the chalet and laughed lightly, “You don’t seem to understand the situation, now you’re asking me, not me.”
“What exactly does it take for you to give me the Centurion?”
Edward the Third’s dark eyes sank and there was ice in them, “White Wolf wants to save his wife, let him talk to me, but you… you are in no condition to talk to me.”
“Eduardo Tercero!”
The man was already striding out of the villa.
Claudio Belles saw Eduardo Tercero get into the car with the old K. It didn’t take long for the car to leave the lookout of the Chalet on the mountain.
Claudio Belles cast a stern glance at the back of the car and cursed before calling Esteban Zaragosa on the phone.
…
Esteban Zaragosa had just taken Dulcina Calvo to the VIP room of the best hospital in the country.
The phone rang.
Esteban Zaragosa picked it up: “Hello?
“Is this Esteban? It’s Dulcina’s mother.”
Esteban Zaragosa looked at Dulcina Calvo in the hospital bed and his eyes narrowed slightly, “Aunt.”
“Esteban, I’ve been trying to call Dulcina, but I can’t get through,” she said.
“Yes. Tia, don’t worry, Dulcina…. Dulcina is fine.”
Esteban Zaragosa ended up with a deep sense of guilt in his heart, he wasn’t trying to deceive Mother Dulcina, but if he told her now about Dulcina Calvo, he couldn’t do anything but worry.
“They are safe and sound together, so that’s good, so that’s good. Then your father and I are relieved….. Oh Esteban, I haven’t spoken to this girl on the phone in a while, can you put Dulcina on?”
“It might not be convenient.”
“Huh?” Mother Dulcina froze.
Esteban Zaragosa looked at the girl in the hospital bed and spoke lightly, “Dulcina is asleep.”
“Oh, so early to bed.”
Esteban Zaragosa, ever resilient, said, “Dulcina has worked a few extra nights in the last few days, so she’s especially sleepy, and I’ve tried to wake her up several times tonight.”
“Oh oh oh, forget it then, overtime makes you tired, let her sleep.”
Mother Dulcina’s mother chattered some more and talked to Esteban Zaragosa for a while before hanging up.
Esteban Zaragosa reached out and stroked Dulcina Calvo’s hair, saying in a muffled voice: “Dulcina, wake up, I can’t hide it anymore. You’re not very tired after having slept so long.”
Not long after, Esteban Zaragosa’s phone rang again, this time with Claudio Belles.
“There’s a medicine in C. It’s called the Hundred Spirit Pill, it can cure a hundred poisons, there’s only one in all of C. It’s in the hands of Eduardo Tercero right now.”
The light under Esteban Zaragosa’s eyes, shone, and even his heart beat much faster.
After hanging up the phone, Esteban Zaragosa immediately contacted Eduardo Tercero.
Half an hour later, Esteban Zaragosa met with Eduardo Tercero at a private beachfront villa.
“What do you want?” asked Esteban Zaragosa, bluntly.
Eduardo Tercero did not mince words: “To get the Black Rose out of the Ming Organization.”
Esteban Zaragosa expected Eduardo Tercero to ask him for some resource, or even something big between Z and C, but he did not expect Eduardo Tercero to ask him for this matter.
“Before Orlondo Marta was in office, the Black Rose was eliminated, and now that I have just assumed the position of Court Master of the Ming Organization, her status itself has not yet been restored.”
“Then it will never be restored, she, I will accept it.”
Eduardo Tercero saw Esteban Zaragosa frown slightly and thought Esteban Zaragosa had a disagreement, “What, you don’t like it?”
Esteban Zaragosa: “No. It is better for Claudio to have one hand on the man and one hand on the medicine.”
Eduardo Tercero: “…”
Heh, the man Claudio Belles is loyal to and protects, sells her without hesitation for the woman he loves!
This stupid woman still works for him! What a fool!
Claudius Belles, far away in the Chalet on Lookout Mountain, sneezes inexplicably.
“Who’s cursing me?”
