[Zongmeiying] Soul Mate

The miraculous Gianna was able to follow Caius closely with high heels that were at least 10 centimeters high, but the other man couldn’t do it. He was older and fatter, and he was out of breath after running a few steps, and he looked a little embarrassed.

But this unremarkable man was indeed very prestigious. Everyone couldn't hide their surprise when they saw him obediently following Caius, but most of them reacted quickly and shook hands with that man positively.And Caius had no interest in stopping to accept flattery and socializing, and the only patience he had left could only support him to maintain a reasonable human speed and walk straight towards Elizabeth.

It may be that they have never encountered such a shameless situation. The people who went up to meet them stopped the greetings in surprise, and watched him pass through the crowd like Moses splitting the sea. .

Harry watched dumbfounded as he approached his granddaughter.

After a brief silence, the chubby man took a breath and introduced to everyone, "This is Duke Volturi and his assistant."

Jaina smiled softly and began to smooth things over, dealing with the troubles her boss threw at her.

Elizabeth didn't realize that Gianna is actually a rare beautiful woman, mainly because she is with Caius almost every time she sees her, and anyone looks ordinary in comparison with her boyfriend's impeccable appearance some.

Like now... her attention is entirely on Caius, why does he look like he has a headache?Elizabeth nervously held the hand that Caius had extended to her earlier. This action caused some commotion among the onlookers. The girl was almost unable to take her eyes off Caius, which made Elizabeth a little uncomfortable, but Caius paid no attention to the eager gazes.

Who cares what the steak on the plate is thinking, Caius sometimes wonders if these people can think at all... or not.His senses wandered involuntarily in this resplendent hall, trying to find all potential threats—there was no threat, only these chaotic and annoying food tormented his sensitive sense of smell with the smell of perfume and blood.

Only his Elizabeth is special.

Caius could hear the sound of her blood flowing, like a beautiful song, he stretched his eyebrows, smiled relaxedly at the moment Elizabeth held his wrist, and blew into her ear by saluting, "This time through the main entrance, I guess it's not dramatic."

Elizabeth also smiled, but before she could answer, she saw his face change, and greeted Harry sincerely: "Mr. Alva, it's a pleasure to meet you tonight."

"...Hello." Harry frowned slightly.

He glanced at the man who came in with Caius, and now he looked at the man here, raised his hand to stop Elizabeth who wanted to speak, and asked Caius tactfully, "Why did you come with Mr. Statham?" ?”

"He is my subordinate." Caius replied with a smile.

"So the Aegean Group is yours..." Harry couldn't believe it.

"Family business," Caius simply nodded without blushing. Anyway, it's not a lie, but his family is a little special.

The faces of the few people around who heard their words changed, and they retracted their gazes that were staring at them.

Money has replaced bloodlines as the true symbol of nobility in this era, so Caius’s aristocratic status is nothing. Too many ancient noble bloodlines have declined, but a nobleman who controls a consortium is definitely not easy to mess with. The Aegean Group is deeply rooted in In Europe, it is said that it even has the ability to influence the internal affairs of the country. Caius' identity and financial resources mean that there are powerful forces intertwined, and any contemptuous treatment may plant evil causes.

Elizabeth seldom saw her grandfather so surprised, but she still underestimated her grandfather. Harry quickly calmed down and raised his eyebrows, "Then why do you condescend to come to this event? The masters of the Aegean Group have never Without showing up in person, I guess a charity auction wouldn't be that important?"

Of course, the owner of the group will not show up. The property left in human society is nothing compared to the wealth they have accumulated over the millennia. There is no need to take the risk of exposing the secret, but Caius never cared whether he would be A certain human recognized the identity of a vampire, and he only wanted to make Elizabeth happy. Anyway, even if he was recognized, the unlucky one would definitely not be him.

He replied politely, "Because I want to accompany Lisa very much, and it is my honor to attend the charity gala with her." Caius gently held Elizabeth's palm and kissed the back of her hand.

The noisy crowd rushed towards this side, and Jaina looked helpless. Mr. Statham didn't have the guts to introduce Caius's other identity to others, but the people who heard it from Elizabeth and the others had already started Whispering the word, she was sure that it wouldn't be long before everyone in the hall knew the news.

Fortunately, the clock suddenly rang at this time, and Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief. The time was almost up, and the main show tonight could finally begin. Before a few eager people came over to talk to them, Elizabeth suggested, "Let's go in first." Bar."

The crowd passed through the two arches in twos and threes, and took their seats with their male and female companions. Caius sat with Elizabeth as a matter of course. Jaina did not dare to sit in the same row with them, so she could only sit with Mr. Statham aggrievedly. behind them.

The host is a well-known talk show actor. Before the start, he said a few jokes to enliven the atmosphere. Everyone laughed in unison, but Elizabeth didn't pay attention to what he said, and asked Caius, "What did you just do?" gone?"

"Nothing." Caius blinked sincerely.

"Really?" Elizabeth dragged out her voice suspiciously, "I obviously lost my mind when I saw you walking through the door."

"I was wondering...do you have anything you want?" Caius lowered his head and quickly flipped through the brochure he got in his hand at some point, and then asked himself, "There is nothing you like."

Today's first lot is a silver comb inlaid with beautiful gemstones. It has a long history and once belonged to a legendary actress with a happy family and a happy life.

This auction did not attract widespread attention. Most people in the venue were whispering, but some young girls couldn't help but began to bid the price in turn. Harry wanted to ask his granddaughter's opinion, but he found out that Elizabeth might not even have anything on the table. They didn't even pay attention, they were busy whispering to Caius.

"It's a charity auction today. They're all small antiques that you don't like - but don't you just look at it and don't buy anything, isn't it like you?" Caius had an obsessive-compulsive disorder for giving Elizabeth a gift Hobbies, when they first got together, this tendency was very, very exaggerated, almost unable to stop for a moment.

"The things I gave you are all the best. These are things that don't please you and are used by others. How could I give them to you?" Caius glanced coldly at the lot on the stage.

"Hasn't my antique jewelry been used by others?" Elizabeth was extremely surprised. She had never considered this possibility. After all, in her opinion, the meaning of antiques is to hand down jewelry that has not been used by the old owner. Will it really exist?

"Of course," Caius replied patiently, "the gems and gold collected by Volturi have been processed by the best artists of each era, and those things are either collected as works of art or given as gifts...all I send The gifts for your personal use are all new and have never been owned by anyone else."

"The next lot is a set of gold and silver coins from the time of Alexander the Great in ancient Greece, spanning 33 places of distribution. This edition was all issued when Alexander the Great himself was alive. The NGC-graded item is nearly uncirculated, and the workmanship and base plate are the highest. Sophisticated...”

This collection of coins did not attract too much attention, only the two polite old gentlemen in the front row raised their placards to bid for the price, one of them raised the price twice and the other stopped insisting, and nodded politely to each other.

The host began to bid for the price and was about to drop the hammer. Elizabeth looked at the projection screen curiously. These gold and silver coins were very beautiful, and she had to sigh that human skills had been so superb in such a distant age.

But this was the time when Caius lived, and he might have personally used these coins. Elizabeth and his fingers intertwined, smiling at each other like two children who were protecting the same secret. Pan explained softly, "Alexander chose to use two female gods as a symbol of power on the gold coin. The obverse of the gold coin is Athena, the god of wisdom and war. She eventually evolved into the patron saint of Rome. The goddess on the back of the gold coin is Negi, The goddess of victory, with wings as long as her body. She eventually evolved into a Christian angel. Athena wore a Corinthian helmet with a crown on her head, which implied that Alexander was the leader of the Corinthian alliance and the overlord of the Panhellenic world ..."

"The gentleman in the back row raised his sign!" The host enthusiastically raised his finger to the back row. Elizabeth followed him and turned around, only to find that the person raising the sign was a familiar young man.

The man was holding a sign sleepily, surrounded by two security guards in black suits and black pants.

"Which one is this?" Elizabeth murmured.

Jaina and Statham, who saw her turn around and sat behind them, immediately approached actively. Hearing this, Statham immediately replied flatteringly, "That's the young owner of the Federal Guard Group, Miss Alex King. "

"Alex?" Elizabeth cast her inquiring eyes on Caius, "Do you think...he looks like Alexander?"
