Walk towards a small reception room on the side of the hall.

Venelana also stood up and followed.

The two walked into the side hall one after the other, leaving behind the complicated looks and whispers of everyone in the hall.

In the side hall.

The lighting is soft and the layout is elegant.

Cooper gestured for Venelana to sit down.

I walked to the window, stood with my hands behind my back, and looked at the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains outside the window.

"Ms. Venelana."

Gu Bo turned around, his eyes fell on Venelana, and he asked straight to the point.

"Is your father's suggestion really what you meant?"

Venelana picked up the black tea that the waiter had just brought and took a sip.

Then he put down the teacup, raised his head, met Gu Bo's inquiring gaze, and showed a helpless smile on his face:

"Lord Gu Bo, do you think my original intention is important?"

Gu Bo didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly.

Venelana sighed softly and continued, "Although Sirzechs was once the strongest in the underworld."

“But now you see it.”

"It will take at least a hundred years for his strength to recover."

"Rias is beloved and talented, but she is still too young to shoulder the burden of the entire family."

"Father is indecisive."

"As a result, the various factions of the family are becoming increasingly powerful."

"but me……"

There was a subtle bitterness in Venelana's tone.

"Although his strength is still decent."

“But in the eyes of those old guys.”

"After all, it's just a tool that can be used for marriage."

Venelana paused, a complex emotion flashing in her purple eyes:

"What's more, now there is a young and promising transcendent like you."

"For the Gremory family, who are desperate to find a backer, I... am naturally the best bargaining chip."

"So, you willingly accepted this arrangement?"

Gu Bo asked, his tone inquiring, "Even if... I become a concubine without a title?"

"Willingly?"

Venelana repeated the word, a sarcastic smile on her face.

"Lord Gu Bo, do you think I have a choice?"

She raised her head and looked directly into Gu Bo's eyes.

"In this family, I seem to have everything, yet I have nothing."

"Like a bird trapped in a cage, no matter how high it flies or how far it sees, it can never escape that small space."

"In that case, instead of whimpering in the cage, it would be better..."

"Find yourself a new master."

"Perhaps this way, we can buy a moment of freedom."

Venelana said with a wry smile and picked up the teacup.

Unexpectedly, Gu Bo did not let it go.

He slowly stood up, walked to Venelana, and looked down at her.

"is it?"

There was a playfulness in Gu Bo's deep voice.

"But what I saw in your eyes, how come it's not like that?"

Venelana paused slightly while holding the teacup, raised her eyes to meet Gu Bo's gaze, her face still maintaining that elegant composure:

"Master Gu Bo is joking. What did you see?"

"I saw the unwillingness and the dormant ambition."

The corners of Gu Bo's mouth curled up slightly.

"Ms. Venelana, you really don't seem to be being candid about your ambitions."

"You still want to lie to me?"

"!!!"

The moment the words fell.

An invisible yet frightening pressure quietly emanated from Gu Bo.

Like a cold spider web.

It precisely wrapped around the uneasiness and fear that had just arisen in Venelana's heart due to being seen through.

This is the Diablo family's bloodline power - the quiet spread of the "power of fear". It is not a direct attack, but it is enough to shake the mind.

Venelana felt her heart skip a beat, and the mask of elegance she had carefully maintained began to crack at this moment...

This was the first time that Venilana showed panic in front of Gu Bo. She subconsciously avoided Gu Bo's sight, lowered her head, and tried to hide the emotions surging in her eyes.

however.

Cooper didn't give her a chance to escape.

Cooper reached out and gently touched Venelana's smooth chin with his slender fingers.

With irresistible force.

Cooper lifted Venelana's face, forcing her to meet his deep eyes again.

Cooper leaned down and whispered in Venelana's ear.

He blew his warm breath over Venelana's ear and said in a low and seductive voice:

"Ms. Venelana, those who treat you as a bargaining chip and despise your value..."

"Have you really never thought of revenge?"

Gu Bo's voice paused, as if deliberately leaving a gap for her to savor the deep meaning in his words. His purple-red eyes were fixed on her subtle reactions, not missing any flaws.

The scarlet light danced in the depths of her pupils, like a bewitching flame, burning her inner ambitions even more fiercely.

Venelana's delicate body trembled uncontrollably.

Gu Bo's words seemed to possess some kind of magic, accurately piercing through her carefully constructed defenses and reawakening the dusty ambition deep in her heart.

Of course she wants revenge!

She wanted to trample under her feet those guys who regarded her as a tool for marriage and despised her value, and make them pay the price for their arrogance and stupidity!

but……

But reason told her that now was not the best time to reveal her ambitions.

She needs to be patient, lie dormant, and wait for an opportunity that will allow her to completely explode.

However, facing Gu Bo's eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, Venelana had an illusion that she could not hide anywhere, as if she was like a naked doll in front of him, and all disguises were meaningless.

This feeling made her feel both scared and excited.

What frightened her was that she was worried that her ambition would be exploited by Gu Bo and she would become a pawn in his hands; what excited her was that she vaguely felt that the man in front of her might be able to help her realize the wish that had been hidden deep in her heart.

"What do you want to do?"

Venelana raised her head, stared into Guber's deep purple eyes, and asked softly.

She neither denied nor admitted it, but used a tentative tone, trying to get an answer from Gu Bo.

"What am I trying to do? Lady Venelana, can't you see?"

"You are smart, powerful, ambitious, and resourceful. You are a rare talent, and that's what really attracts me."

"Not your appearance."

"I've known your strength for a long time."

"Since you don't want to be a vase, why should I refuse?"

"Besides, I always like to deal with smart people."

"In that case, what are you still hesitating about? Hmm?"

"Those old guys are worried that your becoming the next clan leader will affect their status, so they are suppressing you."

"So many years."

"Do you still want to continue?"

"You should know that the reason they supported Rias to become the successor head of the family is because Rias is still young and easier for them to control than you."
