414 The Lord Cooked

Steven drove to Nick’s villa overnight.

As soon as he entered the door, a strip of sea water rushed to him, and a cup with a cocktail flowed over.

Steven stopped the cocktail and walked to the hall. The house was very large, and it took two or three minutes to walk from the door to the hall.

Nick sat on the sofa in the hall and shook the cup in his hand, ignoring the arrival of Steven.

However, he did know that Steven was coming.

Steven just wanted to talk, Nick raised his hand and stopped him. He half-closed his eyes, and stared at the scarlet liquid in his cup. "Bloody Mary, use my blood as the obit of your spleen."

He was talking about the words in the Kingdom Z, because his words were not very clear, it sounded cold and low, and with this bloody word, so there was a decaying death in the momentum.

Steven stood opposite him, he didn't sit down, didn't drink a glass of wine, just asked, "When did you know the location of the Peak Garden?"

He wanted to know when Nick started to follow him.

He knew Nick's ability, if he followed him personally, Steven's anti-tracking technique was useless to him.

Nick shook the cup at random, and he also answered carelessly. "The first day you arrive in the Kingdom Z."

Steven understood, "Well."

This showed that Nick had never really trusted him. Since he was not a friend who treated him with sincerity, he didn’t need to be guilty anymore.

Steven asked again, "Do you want the child or Bell?"

"Both."

Steven looked at him, his eyes were very painful, if he could, he could not wait to kneel down and beg him. But he was very clear, even if he kneeled down, Nick would not be soft.

Steven went away and told Edwin about the dialogue with Nick tonight.

Both of them knew that what Nick wanted was the life of Bella and the child. He wanted to ruin all the hopes and beliefs of Charles and the Kingdom of the Sea.

There was only one Bella in the past two hundred years, if Charles wanted to find another person with gene of the maid, he had to wait another two hundred years. At that time, Charles was already old, or his ability had been not enough to support the life of the tree of life, thereby the entire merpeople race would completely disappear.

This was the result that Nick wanted.

Nick, the bomb was obvious, but they didn't know his means.

Until now, Steven felt that he knew too little about Nick, his sphere of influence, his range of powers, his strategy.

All the evils of Nick in these years were only manifested in the assassination of Charles, when he was in a bad mood. He had never done anything else. This made everyone had a vague impression of Nick.

Edwin rubbed between his eyebrows, and were somehow tired. "Arrange a time to discuss with Charles, he should have a certain understanding of Nick."

Steven nodded, it seemed that they could only do this.

After Steven left, Nick walked into the basement of the villa.

He pushed one of the doors with simple beds, tables and chairs, and a long chain on the ground.

There was a man sitting on the bed with a heavy pair of handcuffs on his wrist.

He turned back and flashed a glimmer of light in the haze. His voice was hoarse, and his eyes were bloodthirsty. "I have told you what you want to know. When did you fulfill your promise?"

The person who was talking was the missing Cather.

After fleeing from the sea, he was caught by Nick that day.

Nick prisoned him in the basement and asked him about the results of his laboratory on mermaid research.

Cather was very unyielding. If Nick didn’t say that he could let him see the real merpeople, he would have almost died by biting his tongue.

Nick said that Earl didn’t create a real mermaid but a variation under the influence of drugs. He did not believe it at the beginning because those people found him a real pearl in the deep sea.

Until Nick let him see his ability to control the sea water, he then believed.

Nick said that the real merperson had abilities, and those experimental people didn’t have at all. Of course, he wanted Nick to transform and show him the merperson form, but Nick was not willing.

Cather had full of expectations for the real merpeople, he was not really trapped here, he was voluntary, he thought. No one could trap him except his willingness in this world.

"When do you start?" Cather asked again.

"Why are you in a hurry." Nick said casually, "At least after the holiday of the New Year."

Cather answered without expression, then closed his eyes.

In his heart, he had been calculating how he could escape after Nick took him to the sea. He couldn’t escape at sea, Nick would definitely have an advantage over him, then he could only escape after seeing the merpeople and coming ashore.

As long as he determined that there were merpeople in the sea, he would have the means to get those merpeople.

After the New Year holidays, it was not far.

There was gloom in Cather’s eyes.

Although Edwin and Steven were both persuading, Bella and Charles still moved back to William’s Mansion before the New Year.

On the 29th, Bella received a phone call from Dora. She said on the phone that she had made a lot of sausage and bacon. She asked if Bella was at home or at the company. She wanted to send some.

At that time, Bella was looking at Charles cooking in the kitchen, and she let Dora and Carl come over to eat. Because the next day is 30th, she would go to the Peak Garden to spend the New Year with Edwin, and today she could have a reunion dinner with Dora.

Dora called in the morning, when she arrived, it was the afternoon.

She and Carl brought four large bags of bacon and sausages, placed full of tables in the dining room.

Bella smiled, "This is enough for us to eat for a year."

Clair heard and came over. He was very happy to smell the meat. "What kind of meat is this? I have never seen it."

Dora recognized that he was the child who had eaten hot pot that day. She was surprised to see him and asked Bella. "Why is he here?"

Clair was a little unhappy. "Bell is my friend, why I can’t be here?"

Bella smiled, "Yeah, you can, you can be here."

Bella did not explain in detail, only said that Clair would live here recently.

Charles went to the kitchen after finishing the work in the study room, listening to the noise inside, and his face became a little dark. He liked the quiet. But when he entered the room and saw the satisfaction on Bella’s face, his temperament finally calmed down.

These people could make his wife happy, then he was happy.

Charles was going to cook dinner and let everyone out of the kitchen. Dora’s eyes widened. “Does the lord cook dinner?”

Charles, such a noble man, could he cook?

Bella smiled very satisfied, "He promised me to cook for me at home as long as he is at home."

Dora looked at her with anticipation. "Is it delicious?"

Bella nodded, "Very delicious."

After talking a while, Bella went back to the kitchen to help Charles.
