I, Viego, conquer Terra!

Viego looked at them: "...It seems they won't give up."

"It's normal." Celinina said calmly:

"The family needs to maintain its prestige, so the judge who makes the judgment must pay the price with blood. Otherwise, everyone will dare to step on the Trin family, and their dignity will be gone."

Viego watched as the court staff at the upper seats left one after another. No one talked to the young judge named Lavinia. They seemed to be afraid of getting into trouble, leaving her alone to sort out various documents. "It seems that the people in the court don't like her actions either. She can't please both sides."

"The people in the court are afraid of getting into trouble. The Bellones don't like her offending their allies, and the Trin family wants her to pay the price." Laplande said pointedly: "This is the price of 'hating evil' in Syracuse."

"..." Viego fell silent and just stared at Lavinia.

Cellinina looked from him to Lavinia, and suddenly asked: "You want to help her?"

"I'm considering it." Viego did not deny: "If the Bellone family won't help her, then I will help... If she can still maintain this attitude in the future, maybe I will be able to use her one day."

"Is it because she is useful, or because she wears black stockings?" Cellinina raised her eyebrows and looked at Viego who started coughing because of her words, revealing a faint smile.

"I'm not that kind of person..." Viego argued, "And she was sitting so high, how could I know that she was wearing black lace stockings with stripes?"

"Ah, so you like this..." Laplande stared at Viego with interest. Before he could continue to refute, he laughed, stood up with Cellinina, and left without looking back:

"We'll be waiting for you at the hotel, Viego."

Viego's face froze.

Damn, how can anyone see that?

Am I really that obvious???

No, bah bah bah!

What am I talking about.

I obviously don't like it at all.

Don’t like it at all!

But Cellinina and Laplande certainly couldn't hear it.

——They have walked out of the court.

Lavinia, who was sitting on the bench, also sorted and filed the documents and walked around to the audience seats.

"Thank you for your help just now." The young judge's tone was as serious as her expression, with a hint of hoarseness and fatigue in her voice that was difficult to conceal. "Excuse me, what is your name...?"

"Why did you come to talk to me?" Viego looked at her and asked with interest. He patted the chair next to him and motioned for her to sit down and talk:

"Aren't you afraid that I, like everyone else, will avoid you for offending the family?"

"......" Lavinia hesitated for a moment, but still sat down, her legs wrapped in lace black stockings solemnly pressed together, her posture upright, and said, "The appreciation in your eyes should not be my illusion."

Viego laughed. "Well, that's true... My name is Viego, Lavinia, and I really admire you."

He looked at the young Miss Rupert and asked again: "But have you ever thought about what kind of trouble today's verdict will bring you?"

"......" Lavinia was silent.

She thought she knew.

Viego looked at her, raised his eyebrows slightly, and did not continue to ask, but just chatted: "It's still raining outside, right?"

Lavinia hesitated for a moment, looked out the window to confirm, then looked at Viego and said, "...Yes."

"The hotel I'm staying in is quite far away, but my companions have already left..." Viego looked at Lavinia with an innocent expression:

"My beautiful lady judge, you won't have the heart to let a poor little girl like me who is not afraid of power and speaks up for you walk back to the hotel in the heavy rain, right?"

Viego doesn't mind building a force.

From the moment he accepted the Shining, he was vaguely prepared, but he had not yet made up his mind.

But this did not prevent him from taking the initiative to reserve talents.

A new force needs talents in all aspects.

——Lavinia is a good choice.

Although not now, after a few years, when Viego successfully builds up his power, she may not necessarily still meet Viego's standards.

However, it doesn't take much effort to take the lead and occupy a spot.

If you just dig a hole, who knows, it might boomerang back in the future.

Therefore, Viego used the tactic of playing the victim to the young judge without any burden.

Making good use of your charm is also part of attracting talent.

If he takes the initiative, there will be a story between him and her.

As expected, the judge girl hesitated for a moment, but driven by her sense of justice, she still couldn't do something like telling Viego to get out.

——It’s normal for young people to be thin-skinned.

"...Where is your hotel?" she asked.

"It's at the junction of the east and west coasts. It would be great if Miss Judge is willing to take me there." Viego stood up, smiling as if he had made a plan. "Then, shall we go?"

"..." Lavinia stood up silently and followed Viego.

I don’t know why, but I always feel like something is wrong?

I just came here to say thank you and ask his name so that I can remember the only person who spoke for me...

How did it suddenly become that I had to share a car with a strange man on a rainy day and send him home?

The judge's bright golden eyes revealed a dazed and confused look.

But at the door of the court, the handsome white-haired man had already picked up the last umbrella on the umbrella stand, opened it, turned around to look at her, and invited her with a smile:

"I don't think Miss Judge would mind, would she?"

Lavinia paused.

Isn't this...my umbrella?

Why do you seem to be more familiar with it than I am?

As he spoke, Viego extended his hand and handed the umbrella handle to Lavinia, saying with a smile:

"I was just joking. It's a bit strange to share an umbrella with a stranger, right? Miss Judge, just hold your own umbrella. Your car should be parked not far away, right? It's okay for me to get a little wet along the way."

Damn, tea, it's too much tea! Viego cursed himself in his heart.

I didn't expect that the first time he turned into a green tea man was to seduce the genius law girl...

Viego, you are so despicable!!!

As expected, Lavinia pushed the umbrella back, shook her head slightly, and stood next to Viego. "That's not necessary, Viego. It's raining too hard outside. We can just go together."

- Of course, Lavinia made this decision because although Viego's request for a ride from her was a bit presumptuous considering their unfamiliar relationship, in fact, all the actions of this man were very measured, and he subtly maintained a polite but not distant distance from her.

At the same time, Lavinia could also see that there was no obscene desire in the look in his eyes when he looked at her.

——The man didn't even look at her, let alone her body, and his attitude was very frank, and he did not hide his admiration, but it was just admiration.

How could such a person have any bad intentions towards her?

That's why Lavinia agreed to share an umbrella with a man she had known for no more than ten minutes.

Viego held an umbrella and walked out of the court with Lavinia.

The raindrops hit the umbrella and the ground beside me.

Viego did not disappoint Lavinia.

He held an umbrella and still maintained a polite social distance, with no intention of taking the opportunity to get closer to Lavinia.

Lavinia's wolf ears trembled slightly, and she noticed that the man next to her deliberately covered her side with more of the umbrella to prevent her from getting wet, but half of his body fell outside the umbrella.

"..." Lavinia was silent for a moment, then took the initiative to close the distance between them, almost shoulder to shoulder with him.

As she took a step and swung her arms, she and he would occasionally have a moment of physical contact.

After a moment, the two stopped in front of the bright red traffic light.

"My car is parked in the alley across the street." Lavinia looked across the street at the dark alley that seemed deep and silent under the rain, like the mouth of an abyss, and she felt a chill for no reason.

"Yeah." Viego smiled and responded softly. Noticing the traffic light turned green, he stepped out and said, "Let's go."

The black fog was released quietly, and no one noticed it under the cover of the rain.

Hmm... there are more than a dozen people. Do they want to chop my judge girl into meat paste?

besides...

Viego raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked up at the rooftop of the low building in front of him, where there was an old figure in blue and black clothes standing with an umbrella.

This color combination...someone from the Bellone family?

The old man seemed to notice Viego's gaze. He lowered his head and looked at him for a moment, nodded slightly, and turned away.

Viego found it more and more interesting.

This old...old man just left?

Do you trust him so much?

In the perception circle of the black fog, the old man indeed turned around and left without looking back.

Viego didn't think any more about it and turned his attention back to the present.

He and Lavinia had crossed the street and were at the end of the alley.

Viego stopped.

Lavinia reacted quickly, also stopped, and cast a puzzled look at Viego. "...What's wrong?"

Viego looked down at her and met the girl's golden eyes.

"...You have beautiful eyes, Lavinia."

"...?" Lavinia was stunned for a moment.

Did you stop just to compliment her on the beauty of her eyes?

The next moment, several Ruperts in suits and holding knives slowly walked out from the shadows of the alley, with undisguised cold murderous intent in their eyes.

Lavinia reacted and looked solemnly at the group of family members in front of her. She subconsciously took a half step forward and protected Viego behind her.

Family members also appeared behind the two of them.

"...It seems that I can't escape." She did not try to negotiate with the family members in front of her. She was silent for a moment and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Viego, for involving you...I didn't expect them to take action so soon."

She originally thought that at most the Trin family would continue to make things difficult for her and cause trouble for her in the future.

But it turned out that she was too naive.

Looking for trouble? Making things difficult?

No, the loss of family dignity can only be repaid with blood.

Lavinia lowered her eyes slightly, knowing that she could not stop her family members from hunting her down, but the emotion she felt most was the guilt for getting the man next to her into trouble.

She took a step forward: "...They just want me dead, maybe they will let you go."

Viego was stunned for a moment when he saw her protecting him behind her, and then he burst into laughter.

It's the first time...

Being treated with a protective attitude.

As expected, she is the judge designated by my family...my power.

The family members did not rush forward all at once, but slowly approached step by step, as if deliberately creating a sense of oppression and an atmosphere of despair.

This also gave Viego time to flirt... and talk to Lavinia.

He pressed the cool umbrella handle, which had no residual body temperature, into Lavinia's hand.

Viego held Lavinia's hand holding the umbrella affectionately in his palms to make sure she held the umbrella securely. "Hold it firmly, Miss Judge."

The man's palms were icy cold, without any warmth, like a corpse.

But there was a warm smile in his voice, as if he had not heard what she had just said, and as if the people in front of him were not a group of ferocious Rupers with knives in hand and eyeing her covetously.

Lavinia raised her eyes and stared at him blankly.

Viego no longer looked at her, but walked out from under the umbrella, with a frivolous smile in his voice:
