Chapter 1135 Compromise
Pushing open the old and heavy door, the white man and Zhang Jian walked in, but there was another door inside.

The person sitting at the door is humble and cautious, like some kind of secretary or something.He got up very politely, talked to the white man in a low voice, and immediately nodded to invite them into the room.

The room inside maintains an ancient European style, both in decoration and furniture revealing a kind of solemn nobility.And it is completely different from the flashy style of European aristocrats, but with deep meaning in simplicity, which looks more majestic and solemn.Whether it is an old-fashioned desk lamp or an old-fashioned telephone on the table, it is so unusual.Of course, the people who can stay in such a room are definitely not ordinary people.

The blond white man asked Zhang Jian to enter, but he stood outside politely.He would never step into this room without permission.

There was an old man in the room, he was a little older, he should be in his 70s or [-]s, and his clothes seemed to be very simple.If such an old man was walking on the street, I believe not many people would notice him.But it is such a kind-hearted old man, looking carefully, it makes people feel as solid as a rock.He is obviously an old man, even a little thin, but he is as unshakable as a mountain.

Seeing Zhang Jian, the old man sighed slightly and said, "Mr. Principal, I really didn't expect that we will meet one day. I thought I might never see you again in this life. I have to say that time is too kind to you." I remember that when we first met, I was just a seminary student. But now that I am old, you still have the same demeanor. Even I can’t help feeling a little bit emotional.”

Zhang Jian said indifferently, "You didn't come to me just to express your emotions. You should know the agreement between us. If there is no important enough reason, you can't just meet me."

The old man nodded and said, "I understand. But what I want to say is that the matter is serious enough."

Zhang Jian frowned slightly and said, "What's the matter? Is it still for Elizabeth Ballitelli's trial file? I know about it, and I did not follow the rules. But our agreement is very clear, if I need, They have the right to use all ancient books and case files. They even have the right to keep them for themselves without having to return them.”

The old man gave him a complicated look, shook his head and said, "That's not the case. Although the trial files of Elizabeth Ballitelli are highly confidential and involve dangerous witchcraft, if you need them, we still Will give it with both hands. Of that, there is no doubt about it.”

"Then what are you looking for?" Zhang Jian frowned.

"Because, I have to stop you from doing that." The old man said seriously.

"That thing?" Zhang Jian frowned, "To be more specific, which thing is it?"

The old man sighed and said, "Mr. Principal, I am not an old fool. Although I am old, I am not foolish. I know why you are looking for the trial file of the bloodthirsty countess. In fact, we all understand that, Among the files that have been handed down from ancient times to the present, there is only one thing that may attract you. Bloodthirsty witchcraft, the bloodthirsty ritual of the bloodthirsty Countess Elizabeth Ballitelli."

"So what? It's just a witchcraft ceremony. Although it is black witchcraft, in terms of danger, we have all been exposed to more dangerous ones." Zhang Jian said indifferently.

"Yes. But the key issue is not witchcraft itself, but that you want to use it on people." The old man looked at Zhang Jian and said slowly.

Zhang Jian shrugged and said, "Since when did you start meddling with my affairs? Do you still want to stand on a moral level and accuse me of witchcraft? Don't be kidding. Everyone is a sensible person. , and nothing is noble. As for morality, it is only the chains that limit us. We usually give this chains to others, not to ourselves. "

"That's right, but we can't let you touch that person. Not to mention this kind of dangerous witchcraft, we can't even let you hurt a finger of him." The old man said seriously.

Zhang Jian said in surprise, "That person? Do you know who I'm going to deal with?"

"Yes, we know." The old man said in a deep voice, "That's why I have to ask you to stop you."

Zhang Jian lowered his face and said, "You mean I can't touch Fan Jiannan?"

"No." The old man shook his head.

"What's the reason?" Zhang Jian sternly said, "You are interfering with my actions! According to the agreement between us, all actions of our Brotherhood of the Holy Chapter are not restricted."

"That's right, but it's also based on that contract. Although we don't interfere with your actions, every 60 years, we have the right to ask the Brotherhood of the Holy Chapter to do us a favor. This is the right and obligation, the basic spirit of the contract." The old man Looking at Zhang Jian, he said, "This time, I ask you to let this person go."

Zhang Jian's face changed, "You want to use your power on this person? Did I hear you right? The requirement is met once every 60 years, and you actually want to give it to that person? Do you know who he is?"

"I don't need to know who he is. I just need to know that once you kill this person, it will be a disaster for us. So the best way is to stop you before you do it." The old man said lightly.

Zhang Jian's face was livid, "What's the reason?"

"We didn't ask for a reason when we granted all the privileges to the Brotherhood of the Holy Chapter?" The old man sighed, "So when we exercise our power, we will not give a reason. Everything is in accordance with the rules Under the framework. Like you said, we have an agreement."

Zhang Jian was silent for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. You must have been pressured by the Council of Yishu."

The old man did not speak, noncommittal.

Zhang Jian said slowly, "What if I can relieve you of this pressure?"

"There is no way." The old man shook his head and said, "Master, you should understand that in my position, the overall situation must be considered. Especially in this kind of matter, I don't think I will take risks. Because what I represent is not It's me. It's a huge organization. In fact, you should also understand that I would not have made such a request if I hadn't been forced to. You know, I never even thought that in my lifetime, Use that right."

Zhang Jian said angrily, "Why did they threaten you? Are you still afraid of being threatened? I don't understand, how can you, who are as powerful as you, submit to those practitioners of the Yishu Council."

"We are not strong, so we have an agreement with you." The old man said slowly. "And you should also understand that any mature leader must know how to compromise."
