Darkness Rises

Chapter 17 The Uninvited Guest

Walking out of the office, Jin quickly caught up with Ivan.

"Wesley, send Felix and the Lankokhov brothers out first!"

Wesley nodded. He and Felix also vaguely heard the quarrel outside the office, and knew that this meeting would not be so smooth.

And the two big brothers obviously have something to talk about alone at this moment.

Jin Bin looked at Ivan indifferently: "You don't need to conflict with Xin!"

Ivan shrugged: "He started it first, but this time we deal with the Irish, thank you for your help."

The help that Aiwen refers to is the help provided by the government and the police in the eradication of the Irish gangs.

Regardless of the previous actions, whether it was the sheriff or the district attorney, they all respected Ivan, but in fact, his power at the government level cannot be overshadowed by one hand.

There is one person who is more pure than him in terms of buying officials and police, and this person is Jin Bing.

Jin Bing's infiltration in the New York government system has been going on for several years, and no one can figure out his strength hidden deep under the water.

And this time the New York police cooperated so fully because Aiwen greeted Jin Bing in advance, and the person who let him let him give Aiwen a lot of convenience.

Hearing Ivan's thanks, Jin smiled slightly: "I would like to see the Irishman dealt with. I hope our alliance can grow stronger, especially this time, the Irishmen provoked you first."

But then his expression became serious again: "Aiwen, but from a selfish point of view, I don't want to see you conflict with Xin. The forces behind these Japanese are actually very secretive and powerful!"

Ai Wen nodded: "Thank you for your reminder!"

However, he has already made a decision in his heart. If he wants to complete the task given by the system, he must not have any fear.

In fact, including this powerful man in front of him, he is also the existence he will defeat in the future.

Jin doesn't know how to read minds, so he doesn't know what Ai Wen is thinking in his heart. Since he has fulfilled his duty of advice, he won't say anything more.

The two soon returned to Vanessa and Gwen, who were standing in front of a fiery red painting exhibition.

"Art is not furniture. If you are absolutely sure what you want, it is decoration. Art should resonate with you and touch you."

Vanessa is enthusiastically explaining the painting exhibition in front of Gwen: "For example, this "Flame Seed" is one of my favorite paintings.

Imagine you're in a sea of ​​shades of red, the color of anger, but also the color of the heart, and love and hope, and this painting strikes the perfect balance between the two..."

Ai Wen slowly walked behind the two of them, and suddenly said: "Well, I said that Vanessa is very good at selling her collection!"

The sudden voice interrupted the emotional resonance between the two women, and Gwen also recovered from the wandering mood.

Hearing what Ai Wen said, Gwen shook his head slightly, and disagreed: "No, I don't think this painting needs to be promoted. People who like it will naturally resonate with it."

"Look!" Vanessa said proudly: "Gwen has much more vision than you."

"But Ivan was right in saying something before!"

Gwen blinked slyly suddenly, and met everyone's curious eyes, she smiled and said: "The owner of this gallery is indeed full of artistic accomplishment!"

"Hahaha!"

Cheerful laughter echoed in the gallery, but Gwen didn't know that the two men in front of him had just finished a fierce and unpleasant underworld meeting.

After lunch, since Gwen had to make up lessons for his younger brother, Ivan drove her to the apartment downstairs.

"Gwen, you take this painting!"

In the convoy of bodyguards who followed the two of them all the time, they sent the pair of "Flame Seeds", and Ivan wanted to give it to Gwen graciously.

"It's very expensive!"

Gwen didn't pick it up, but looked at Ivan with shining eyes.

"Fortunately, it's nothing to me, as long as you are happy!" Ai Wen showed his affection.

"This car is also very expensive!" Gwen did not answer, but continued to ask.

Feeling that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Ai Wen was stunned for a while, not knowing what he did wrong, his expression was a little stunned, and he didn't know how to answer.

Gwen smiled, and said softly: "It's okay, it's not your fault, after all, it's really nothing to your family and the environment in which you grew up.

But if we have a chance to come out next time, can you please drive a low-key car? "

Ai Wen was taken aback when he heard the other party's words, and then said happily: "It seems that I have passed your test initially, and we will have future ones."

Gwen's emotions are a bit complicated at the moment, Peter's shadow still remains in her heart, but Ivan's offensive is indeed gradually crushing her heart.

Can't go on anymore, she needs to calm down.

Gwen turned her head and walked towards the apartment building, leaving only one sentence in the air: "You take this painting back first, I am not suitable to accept such an expensive gift from you now!"

"Then when can I receive it!"

"When you can, it will be fine!"

Aiwen watched Gwen's youthful and beautiful figure disappear into the building, and he had to sigh, "Damn it, the damn dog system, licking a dog is a terrible death!"

But he didn't notice that a Mr. Sheriff, who happened to be home from get off work, had a panoramic view of all this from the corner.

Mr. Sheriff felt very uncomfortable.

At this moment, Aiwen didn't have the intention of pretending to blow up the streets, so he asked his bodyguards to drive the supercar back to the villa, while he got into the SUV.

The convoy was driving smoothly on the streets of Manhattan, but Ivan was thinking about the next step with his eyes closed, how to better complete the tasks given by the dog system.

At this moment, Dex who was sitting in the front row suddenly said, "Boss, there is a car following us."

Ai Wen suddenly opened his eyes wide, and said in a low voice: "Can you get rid of him?"

Dex said calmly: "You can try, but the other party's behavior is very strange, and he doesn't want to hide his intentions."

"Is that so?"

At this time, Ivan also saw the SUV behind them, following them unscrupulously.

At this moment, Aiwen's cell phone rang, and seeing the caller ID on it, he couldn't help frowning.

After answering the phone, Ivan's response was very cold, he just hummed lightly, and hung up the phone.

"Find a safe place to park, the car behind is not the enemy!"

Dex nodded without saying anything.

The convoy that was originally going to the villa turned around at the next intersection. More than ten minutes later, the car scrapping plant on the edge of Hell's Kitchen welcomed Ivan's convoy again.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The continuous sound of opening and closing the car door sounded, and the black-clothed bodyguards pulled down the shutter, and the indoor environment suddenly became dark.

Ivan stared coldly at the uninvited SUV.

The car door opened, and a ruthless man wearing a black mask and full of evil spirit came down from it.

To everyone's surprise, this man's left arm is actually a tough, cold, and technologically-sounding mechanical arm!
