Seeing Veronica blocking the door with someone, Roderick felt a little bitter in his heart, but now he could only find a way to convince them.

This time, Roderick finally smoothly told the personal experience that had been sorted out.

Veronica had lost the smile on her face, and the two people next to her were getting worse and worse the more she listened.

“Mom, this is…”

Paige. Buck was hastily approached by her own mother, who had not been told what had happened, but had heard that something serious had happened.

But she couldn’t have imagined that it would be something of this level!

Sounds ridiculous and too fake, Trinidad. It’s hard to believe that Narez would do something to his family.

“This is … Are you sure?

“I also want to know…”

Veronica shook her head slightly.

“What kind of person Roderick is, you and I know clearly, what he said should be the truth, not to mention, even if this kind of thing is lied, it can’t be hidden for long… Although I don’t want to believe it…”

Caleb on the other side. Ruth was silent.

Veronica let out a soft breath.

“Roderick, I think what you said is true…”

Roderick did not feel happy because the other party expressed his belief, and the attitude of the beautiful woman in front of him obviously did not seem to want to help.

“But then we can’t act arbitrarily.”

Veronica frowned, and her left foot subconsciously gently went up and down.

“Roderick, I don’t know if our lord is crazy, but do you really think we can do something? Now that we have lost our backbone, we cannot act rashly. “I know, of

course I know that there will be dangers in acting rashly, but, for the sake of the family…”

Roderick did not understand the thoughts of the beautiful woman in front of him, the situation in front of him was completely unknown, and it was normal for him to want to plan and then move. However, he

did not feel that there was time to observe the situation now, and he wanted to mobilize his manpower immediately, go back to the mansion of Nares, and find his grandfather to ask everything clearly.

“Roderick, you are the Nares family, but, we are not.”

Veronica expressionlessly interrupted Roderick’s appeal in the second half.

“There are only more than thirty people on our side, and the weapon firepower can only be regarded as average, even if everyone is gathered, it is not necessary that they will obey, not to mention, Ethan is no longer there…”

Roderick breathed.

Veronica has made it very clear that she has no intention of coming out at this point in time.

“I can’t tell what’s going to happen next, it’s all too strange, but I have to protect everyone else here now.”

Hearing this clear refusal, Roderick naturally felt very disappointed. However, he

did not intend to give up just like that, he wanted to continue trying to persuade the other party.

There are only a few family members that he has always been familiar with, and the only thing that can borrow power at this moment is this uncle Ethan’s territory.

If he just left, Roderick didn’t know what to do next.

“Roderick, I know you’re not willing to give up, it’s just, I think, you’d better stay here.”

Before Roderick could continue to lobby, Veronica had the next move.

The beautifully dressed woman nodded to the strong man next to her.

Caleb with dark skin and muscles. Ruth, wordlessly stepped forward.

“Roderick, I’m not trying to hurt you, I just want you to stay here for the time being, please, I don’t want more accidents to happen.”

“Miss Buck, you…”

Seeing the strong male voice in front of him full of coercion, Roderick couldn’t help but take a step back.

Rodrik had expected his persuasion to fail completely, and even to be controlled in turn.

But even if he was mentally prepared, facing this situation still made his heart feel lost and painful.

“No, Veronica. Buck, the idea of waiting and seeing is very wrong, and you have to help immediately.

Just as the atmosphere in the office became more and more tense, Annan, who had been quiet, stood up.

The gazes of everyone present immediately fell on him.

“Miss Veronica, you know what? I don’t think you know that what happened at the Narez family’s banquet today may be close to dark magic.

Roderick saw that this companion suddenly spoke, and initially subconsciously wanted to stop the other party, but he quickly thought that the situation could not get worse now, it was better to let the other party try it and see if he could reverse the thoughts of Veronica and the three.

Annan does not seem to be trying to use force, but intends to use words to persuade, so that there should be no unnecessary bloodshed.

If Annan’s words angered Veronica, Roderick would naturally hurry to stop it.

“…… So?

Veronica frowned, staring sharply at Annan.

“Even if it’s related to black magic, so what? And, who are you?

“Me? You can call me Annan.

Annan smiled toothyly.

“Hey, Miss Veronica, don’t pretend anymore, obviously you have been paying attention, I mean, the arrival of the White Knight.”

Veronica was silent.

“The White Knight came to this city not long ago, you must know, if you don’t, then I will wonder how you survived to this point.”

Roderick, no matter how dull, sensed some key points in Annan’s words.

His heart shook slightly, but he endured and let the companion beside him continue his speech.

“White Knights generally don’t pay attention to non-black magic-related cases, I think you should be very clear about this without me explaining, then, now the question is, will the matter of the Nares family, which died more than sixty people tonight, attract the attention of the White Knight?”

Annan’s gaze moved little by little, looking at the three people in front of him one by one.

“Trinidad. Even if Nares has the ability to hide what happened tonight, it is impossible to hide for long, so many people have always died, Nares is the largest gangster in the local area, without so many upper-level personnel, it will soon be noticed by people with intentions, and sooner or later it will still make a big fuss. ”

“…… I don’t understand what you’re talking about.

Veronica’s tone did not fluctuate.

“What happened to the Narez family, even if it really attracted the attention of the White Knight, it would not have any effect, they would not interfere with this… of civil criminal cases.

“No, it will, definitely, three, think about it, if the White Knight starts an investigation, and then investigates, and finds you, guess what’s going to happen?”

Annan frowned at the three people in front of him.

“I said, you three, you don’t want the White Knight to know your true identity, do you? Right? ”
