Heartthrob: The vampire princess doesn't want to be a stand-in

Chapter 253 Intercepting Arms

Garland's hand holding Vincent changed shape, and immediately pinched his thin neck.

Vincent, of course, showed no weakness. The moment he sensed Garland's next move, he loaded the bullet in the pistol in his right hand and placed it against Garland's waist.

"At least I know what she wants."

"Instead of knowing everything like you did, but never telling her."

"I just want to lock her up in the castle and make her a canary, but you forget that she is a bright and flamboyant rose, not the camellia in your hand."

Vincent clenched his teeth and could feel Garland's force increasing as he spoke.

But there was no sign of pain on his face, instead there was a gleam of provocation in his eyes.

"I'm doing this for her safety, and you're always putting her in danger."

Veins popped out on Garland's arms, and Vincent's fingers moved slowly. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, Evelyn pushed the two people arguing away in annoyance.

"enough!"

"Tonight was my idea. I took the initiative to ask Vincent to accompany me. Who are you to teach him a lesson?"

Evelyn's blue eyes flashed with anger, and she stood in front of Vincent and confronted Garland.

Garland's face darkened. He felt that the scene before him was inexplicably familiar and disgusting!

"And you!"

"You won't fight back when someone hits you? Does it hurt when you're beaten like this?"

Evelyn originally wanted to teach Vincent a lesson, but when she looked back and saw the redness and bruises on his face, she couldn't bear to speak anymore.

What a pretty face, it's a sin...

"Little princess, I failed to protect you today. I deserve this blow. Garland was right to hit me."

Vincent smiled lightly and shook his head, looking at the distressed light in Evelin’s eyes, he was actually distracted for a moment.

Every time Lilith looked at his injured face after he was bullied, her eyes were filled with such pain.

It’s a pity that things have changed and she is no longer the Lilith she used to be, and Lilith will never come back.

"Fuck, a male version of Huo Wanqing!"

"She is simply a white lotus! She can even do this!!"

Ollie, who had been waiting silently on the side, was suddenly stunned with surprise. After hearing Vincent's words, he blurted out the word "white lotus".

Garland's expression turned stern, and the murderous look in his eyes made Ollie immediately silent.

"It's wrong to hit someone. You obviously came here for me."

"Forget it...you go back and rest first, and leave the rest to me."

Evelyn glanced at Garland, who was standing there coldly like a sculpture, and spoke to Vincent.

She was worried that if she showed concern for Vincent in front of Garland, Garland would lose control of his anger and the situation would be out of control.

"Are you sure you can?"

Vincent pointed to the terrifying Garland's uncertain opening.

"I wouldn't be sure if you were always there."

Evelyn nodded and pushed Vincent toward his sedan.

"If you can't handle it, just call me. I'm always here."

"Well, go back and take care of the wound. Don't leave it alone again."

Evelin glanced at Vincent's still bleeding lips and spoke subconsciously.

For a moment, both of them froze in place. Vincent felt his heart pounding, and Lilith's worried little face overlapped with Evelin in front of him.

A trace of guilt flashed across Evelin’s eyes, but fortunately Vincent was stunned and didn’t catch it.

It was a close call, the truth almost came out.

"I understand, don't worry."

Vincent forced a stiff smile, suppressed the doubts in his heart, and raised and lowered his hand that wanted to scratch Evelin's nose.

"Are these two dating or something? It's not like they're gone. Why are they so reluctant to part..."

Ollie looked anxious and poked his head out from behind Garland to complain.

"Will you die if you don't speak?"

Garland shot a cold glare, his anger at Evelyn and Vincent’s excessive intimacy boiling over after hearing what Ollie said.

"My lord, something bad has happened!"

Suddenly, Enzo's anxious voice came from afar, and Enzo, who was always more steady in front of outsiders, ran towards Vincent.

"explain."

Vincent frowned, and Enzo saw so many people stopped in an instant and put on a calm attitude.

But the anxiety in his eyes was too obvious.

"Sir, the batch of arms we had at the port was intercepted."

Enzo whispered softly in Vincent's ear, and Vincent's eyes were instantly frozen with coldness.

"You did it."

Vincent sensed Garland's dangerous gaze not far away from the corner of his eye, and he understood what was going on in an instant.

"Only substantive warnings can make people remember."

Garland's expression was calm, his previous anger had long since disappeared, and the coldness in his eyes was no less than Vincent's.

"Garland, you're not following the rules."

Vincent looked displeased. Garland's action caused the Smith family to lose arms worth 3 billion in an instant.

"We have caught you red-handed. Since you are willing to protect Evelin, I will spare your life."

"Vincent, you should thank me for my tolerance."

A sneer appeared on Garland's lips, and there was a provocation in his eyes.

Vincent's smile became more feminine, but he couldn't say a word in return.

"Evelyn, go home."

After saying that, Garland forcefully pulled Evelin toward the sedan.

The moment Garland turned around, Vincent's handsome face, who was still standing in the same place, was covered with gloomy clouds, and a dangerous aura was blowing in his face, causing Enzo beside him to shiver.

The sale of arms is expressly prohibited by the Lan family, and the Lan family is the only one in the entire Carter Continent that has the right to trade arms.

However, the Si family has made their fortune through arms smuggling and drug trafficking since ancient times.

When the major blue-blood families of the Northern Continent were working together, as long as their own interests were not affected, no one would pursue them too much. After all, they could also benefit from it.

Since Edward ascended the throne and began to reorganize the family, the Scottish family has gradually stepped down and entered the white way. However, the connections that the Scottish family has accumulated over the past hundred years cannot be cut off overnight.

At that time, the Si family was in charge of the arms business of the entire Carter continent. Even when the southern continent where hunters were entrenched wanted to purchase arms, the Si family was given priority.

Such huge forces and transactions also brought considerable benefits to the Northern Continent during Edward's reign, so Edward has always turned a blind eye to the Si family.

It was not until Garland slowly took over Edward's political affairs that he gradually won over the forces and cut off many of Vincent's arms from the details and brought them under his own command.

This time, it was also the first time that Garland had such a major conflict with Vincent in public.
