Vampire Family: The Empress's Growth Story

Chapter 90 Public Trial
Because the train was late, when Li Mu and Lawrence came to St. Michael's Church again, it was already a bit late.However, Lawrence was not in a hurry. Instead, he smiled and comforted Li Mu and said, "You are the most important person in this meeting, so you should be the finale."

Having said that, Li Mu still cared about his being late, and hurriedly dragged Lawrence into the basement of the church where the Presbyterian Church was located.

Different from the elders' internal meeting last time, this time the huge basement was full of people.But although there are many people, the order is orderly.The positions of the elders have not changed, but they have been changed from standing to sitting. They are seated in the arches of the colonnades corresponding to their representatives. assistant.The circle surrounded by these five elders is the core position of the conference hall.A little farther away from them, there is a circle of seats. Judging from their expressions and attire, they should be either rich or noble, and they are full of style. They are probably some powerful and clear people in some clans.In the circle further back, there were no seats, and a circle of people was crowded in darkness.Some held the camera in both hands without saying a word, some were talking to the people next to them, and some had already set up a tripod and were adjusting the angle of the camera.

Li Mu was stunned for a moment.Is this the scene of the press conference?Blood paparazzi?Thinking of this, she couldn't help but turned to look at Lawrence, only to see that he was also frowning, as if he didn't know about this arrangement.But when he saw Li Mu looking at him, he still frowned and smiled at her.It was this smile that made Li Mu's flustered heart settle down again.

The president of the Presbyterian Church was the first to notice the arrival of the two, stood up and said loudly: "Lawrence! Princess! You are here, come and take your seats, I will be waiting for you."

Today he is still wearing a white robe, Li Mu couldn't help muttering: "Why is he always dressed like this, he looks like a church priest."

Lawrence replied softly: "The president is a priest. He is in charge of this church we are in."

Li Mu coughed lightly, and quickly said: "The blood clan has an underground shopping mall, and there is a comic exhibition in the church. Now a vampire is serving as a church priest or something. I'm not surprised at all. I'm not surprised. By the way, why don't you see Catherine?"

Lawrence didn't poke at her embarrassment of forcibly changing the subject, but just said with a smile: "She said that the president asked her to guard the mirror and she must not leave it, so she is not here. Let's go there."

Lawrence walked half a step ahead of Li Mu, broke through the packed crowd for her, and walked all the way to the innermost part.The five elders stood up to greet each other and greeted each other.In fact, when Li Mu came last time, he was not thinking about socializing at all. Except for the old man in white robe and Vera, he couldn't tell who was who among the remaining three people.Fortunately, Lawrence blocked most of the greetings, and he just had to put on airs, smile and nod to say hello.One to two to go, can be regarded as coping with the past.

At this time, one of the patriarchs, whose name Li Mu couldn't name, came over with a smile and said, "I'm just waiting for you two, please take a seat. Princess, the patriarch Nofiler is no longer in office now, the one he vacated The place is just reserved for you, right here, please."

Li Mu still looked at the old man with a smile, but his feet didn't move.Although she doesn't meddle in the affairs of the Sanguine Elders' Council, she also knows that the arrangement of the seats is particular.Especially with so many reporters present today, it is clear that several other elders jointly dug a hole for the Bruch clan, and they need to be more cautious in their words and deeds.

If I just sat there, and the photos were taken by the media and sent out, I am afraid that people with ulterior motives will think that I have the ambition to replace the elder of the Nuofeile clan, and I will not be able to speak clearly at that time.

At this time, Lawrence came to rescue: "Princess, you are the bloodline of the Bruch clan. It is only right for you to sit in my place, and I will just stand behind you."

The president heard it and said to Lawrence: "The patriarchs have their own identities, you don't have to be special."

Lawrence said with a blank expression: "The princess keeps a low profile. This time I didn't bring any attendants here, but our whole Bruch family is willing to serve. It is right to stand behind the princess. There is nothing special about it."

Lawrence's tactic of retreating into advance was very good. On the one hand, he exposed his identity as a princess, broke the hole dug by the elders, and fundamentally dispelled everyone's concerns about taking over the Nofil clan; Tell everyone that you are all sitting and I am standing, and I don't want to be too sharp.Even better, this relieved the embarrassment of the two of them without an attendant, otherwise they would sit separately, leaving only the two of them empty behind them, but the momentum would be much worse.

At this time, Vera also interjected: "If you want to stand, you can stand. Chairman, everyone has been waiting for a long time, so let's start quickly when everyone is ready!"

Hearing this, the elder didn't bother with the issue any more. He cleared his throat and motioned for the little apprentice behind him to come on stage.

Li Mu sat down on the seat prepared for Lawrence, and Lawrence stood behind him without changing his expression.But after Li Mu sat down, he found that Vera was still staring at him, as if he had something to say to him.It's just that the distance is too far, and there are so many cameras facing each other, it's really hard to gossip, so I have to respond with a kind smile.Vera smiled too, and turned her head away.

Li Mu didn't know why, and always felt that she didn't hate him as much as last time. Although her words just now were not pleasant, they actually helped him and Lawrence out of trouble.I just don't understand, what is the reason that made her make a 180° turn in her attitude towards herself?

But before there was time to think about it, the president's little apprentice had already stood in the conference center, and said in a loud voice: "Please be quiet! Be quiet! Next, the trial meeting of the Nofiler traitor Nicholas It's about to start, we have invited the president of the Secret Party Alliance, the patriarch of the Vanjo clan, and Elder Arthur to speak on stage!"

Li Mu was listening and suddenly realized that the old priest's name was Arthur, and he sounded like an aristocrat.

I don't know if it is the halo illusion brought by this name, Li Mu always feels that his temperament is completely different from the last time he saw it, and his whole image has become taller.
