Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress - Chapter 986

Chapter 986: The One Who Dances with the Devil

The woman in black brought the girl away.

Mr. Berveld looked over, well aware that the girl whom he had intended to deflower was going to be under Lucifer’s unconditional protection. If anything were to happen to her, Lucifer would be standing up for her. Those were the rules of the Elegance Room that everyone had to follow and abide by.

Wen Xinya cocked her head sideways to look at Liu Yanhua. “Mr. Berveld has broken the rules of Elegance Room. How should he be punished?”

As soon as she said those words, all the guests present gasped in shock. Although they found it incredible, no one dared to doubt her since they were in the Elegance Room.

A sullen expression formed on Mr. Berveld’s face and he glared at Wen Xinya coldly with his eyes glassed over.

Liu Yanhua answered sternly, “There must be blood.”

Before anyone else could even react, Wen Xinya whipped out Athena and fired a bullet which grazed across Mr. Berveld’s hand, making it bleed.

Wen Xinya blew some air on her barrel and said, “There’s this Chinese saying that goes, ‘To err is human. What matters is that you learn from your mistakes and repent.’ Since you’ve learned your lesson, I shall punish you lightly, Mr. Berveld.”

The blood then trickled down Mr. Berveld’s hand and onto the ground.

The fleeting moment of silence made the gambler feel like gambling again.

To the gamblers, blood was so important that they would forget about being humane, for they were too preoccupied with gambling and the superstitions around it. In fact, they had become slaves to gambling.

Mr. Berveld remained silent while smiling throughout.

Wen Xinya was smiling too.

They faced each other in complete silence.

He then took a few steps back and took a seat by a gambling table.

However, Wen Xinya decided to head upstairs because she was no longer in the mood to gamble.

The hollow stairs croaked whenever Wen Xinya stepped on it. Although it was rather unsteady, Wen Xinya enjoyed the feeling of stepping on clouds.

The loud and crisp sounds of applause sounded in the air at the instant that she arrived on the second floor.

Wen Xinya stood by the stairwell and looked in the direction where the noise was coming from, only to see Mr. Wei standing still like an aristocrat during the Renaissance, refined and elegant.

Wen Xinya’s face grew sullen beneath her mask, not wishing to cross paths with him because she felt that he was too mysterious and shady.

While applauding and chuckling, Mr. Wei said, “Interesting. I didn’t expect you to be such an interesting person on top of being so talented in chess and the arts.”

There seemed to be a layer of fog on top of his blue eyes which made it difficult to tell his emotions.

When they were in the private room earlier on, he was cold, aloof and standoffish. Yet, he was now acting so friendly and chummy with Wen Xinya, giving her a fresh impression of him. “Mr. Wei, you’re flattering me.”

Her reply was cold yet polite.

Seemingly not bothered by her attitude, Mr. Wei said calmly, “I am the beginning and the end. God doesn’t exist around me. I’ll rise above to the clouds and I’ll be as high as the sky.” He was reciting the portion of Lucifer’s verse that Wen Xinya had quoted earlier on. However, his tone was ambiguous. “Is that how you deciphered that person?” he asked.
