Colonial Suit

The sunlight on Planet Ruan Yun finally weakened... Night gradually descended upon this gaseous planet.

This was also a unique feature of Planet Ruan Yun. Although it didn't rotate, the atmosphere surrounding the planet would periodically increase in density, creating a day and night effect similar to ordinary planets, which amazed everyone who came here.

The Sangjie Hotel was brightly lit. In the hotel's lobby, a ball was being held to welcome Miss Carrie. Countless fashionable men and women from all over Planet Ruan Yun rushed over and entered the venue under the arrangement of the second butler. Among them were heads of state, young masters of interstellar chambers of commerce, and even some elusive big merchants. The fact that they could gather here at the same time was a testament to the vast power of the Romick family.

Inside the venue, sparkling crystal chandeliers emitted brilliant light. Below, men and women were already dancing gracefully. The ball had been going on for some time.

This was a ball to welcome Miss Carrie, and almost the entire upper class of Planet Ruan Yun was in attendance. Naturally, there were many guests. Among them were many non-human races with bizarre appearances.

However, these had nothing to do with Blood瞳. At this moment, he was leaning against a balcony on the second floor of the dance floor, sipping red wine while gazing dreamily at the scene below.

He had already changed into a simple, clean shirt, with all the buttons in the front undone, revealing his firm chest and numerous scars. His solid muscles made every girl who accidentally caught a glimpse blush, yet they couldn't help but steal glances.

"You seem to be quite popular?" A cold voice came from behind Blood瞳. He didn't need to turn around to know who it was.

In this hotel, only one person was so cold and elusive. That was naturally Ice.

"If you knew one of my companions, you wouldn't say that," Blood瞳 sighed, took another sip of red wine, and said. "Why aren't you down there on guard?"

"Such low-level work is naturally done by ordinary guards," Ice replied coldly, his figure appearing next to a pillar behind Blood瞳.

As the only natural evolver among the guards, he naturally had the confidence to say that. However, since the brief probing with Blood瞳 in the corridor, all his pride had vanished. He seemed somewhat constrained in front of Blood瞳.

This was the nature of life evolution. He certainly didn't know that Blood瞳's evolution was more advanced than his, naturally exerting a certain degree of suppression on him. This was also because Blood瞳 had just entered the second stage of evolution and had not yet effectively controlled it. As Blood瞳's evolution gradually improved, this suppression would be controlled. At that time, it would be a different story.

Watching Blood瞳 indifferently drinking his wine, Ice's pupils contracted slightly. He suddenly walked out of the shadows of the pillar and came to Blood瞳's side. Just as he was about to reach out...

"If I were you, I wouldn't touch my wine," Blood瞳 said, not even looking at Ice. "Trying to challenge a warrior beyond your capabilities is not brave, but foolish."

"How would I know without trying?" Ice replied coldly.

Blood瞳 shook his head slightly, a faint sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth. "Learning to judge whether the opponent is stronger than oneself is an instinct that beasts should learn from birth. If you don't even understand this, it's best not to be a guard. Because you may pay an unbearable price for a reckless challenge."

"............" Ice fell silent. Sure enough, he didn't reach for the wine bottle in front of Blood瞳 again. After a while, he said in a low voice, "I actually... don't want to be your enemy."

"I know," Blood瞳 smiled slightly, finally turning his gaze away from the dance floor below. "Family guards like you probably have no choice in many things."

"Since you know..." Ice took a deep breath. "Then you should understand that I don't have more choices."

"Is that so?" Blood瞳 sighed, took out a cigarette from his shirt pocket, and lit it with a flick of his finger. "But in my opinion, you have many choices."

"For example?"

"For example, right now," Blood瞳 took a puff of cigarette and then exhaled a smoke ring. "A family's succession battle. I think for most warriors, they can only be used as tools. But you are clearly an exception."

"How do you know?" Ice's gaze sharpened, instantly becoming extremely cold. "Who exactly are you?"

Blood瞳 boarded the ship midway, so Ice still didn't know Blood瞳's identity.

"Me?" The corner of Blood瞳's mouth twitched. "I'm just a wanderer who was accidentally caught up in the war. But if you don't plan to change your mind, perhaps at some point in the future, we may have some unpleasant memories."

"You!?" Ice's pupils shrank suddenly. All the muscles in his body tensed up.

Because at this moment, he suddenly felt an extreme danger from Blood瞳. The intensity of that danger actually made all the hairs on his body stand on end. It was as if Blood瞳 had suddenly turned into a ferocious beast. What was even more terrifying was that even though Blood瞳 was sitting right in front of him, he suddenly couldn't capture Blood瞳's position, and he couldn't lock onto him at all.

"This is..." Ice gasped, his face turning pale.

"Just a little trick," Blood瞳's voice came at the right time. Ice only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and he could capture Blood瞳's position again.

However, this didn't make him feel any better. On the contrary, his fear of Blood瞳 had reached its peak. His eyes were fixed on Blood瞳 without blinking.

In his life, he had never met such a terrifying man like Blood瞳. Although he had never officially made a move from beginning to end, this seemingly ordinary display had already made Ice's heart sink deeply.

"You... who exactly are you?"

"This is the second time you've asked me this question," Blood瞳 maintained his original posture, leaning decadently on the seat. But his gaze was still calm.

"But I don't want to answer this question, because it's meaningless."

"All you need to do... is make a choice."

"............" Ice fell silent. He certainly understood what Blood瞳 meant. It wasn't that he disdained to tell him his identity, but that for him, dead people didn't need to know his identity. If he made the wrong choice, then in Blood瞳's eyes, he would be a dead man.

This wasn't arrogance, but confidence. Absolute confidence.

Ice also believed that Blood瞳 could do this. So after a moment of silence, he said hesitantly, "I... still need to consider it."

"But I don't have much time," Blood瞳 turned his head, looking at the dancing crowd in the dance floor through the balcony railing, and said softly. "There are three hours left until the end of the ball. If you still can't make a choice, then I can only make a choice. You know... I don't like making choices either."

"Yes..." Ice lowered his head.

As a natural-evolved meteor-level, Ice had never thought that one day he would be forced to this point by someone. This even made him feel ashamed. But now he had to admit that Blood瞳 did have this strength.

The newest novels are first published at Liǔ Jiǔ Shū Bā!

Just like he said, when challenging an enemy beyond one's limits, it's not called bravery, but foolishness.

No matter what the rules are in this world, in the end, strength speaks...

"I think, I know..." After a long time, Ice finally said in a low voice. But as his voice fell, a sense of relief quietly swept through his body. Only then did he realize that the combat suit on his body was already soaked with sweat.

Although Blood瞳 looked calm, the pressure he put on him was too great.

"Heh..." Seeing Ice finally lower his head, Blood瞳 also smiled. In fact, he didn't want to be an enemy with Ice either. Not because of the other party's strength, but because there was no need.

A new script always needs actors, doesn't it? If the actors are all dead... who else will execute this script, could it be himself?

Blood瞳 always believed that his adaptability was very strong, but he didn't think he could be a good actor.

"Continue to be your guard. Carrie will arrange the rest for you." Looking at the silent Ice, Blood瞳 personally poured him a glass of wine and pushed it in front of Ice.

"I'm treating you... don't worry, I won't be angry."

"............" Ice looked at the glass of wine with a complicated expression, and finally picked it up and drank it all.

Next, Ice left without looking back, and Blood瞳 leisurely sat back on the chair. Looking at Carrie in the dance floor below, he murmured to himself, "I've gotten you the actor you wanted, so next is the time for you to write the script yourself. I hope you don't sell yourself out."

"The most important thing is... don't sell me out. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that your script will be executed smoothly."

Saying that, Blood瞳 picked up a cigarette, took a puff, and then exhaled a cloud of smoke.

In the swirling smoke, his gaze swept around the dance floor a few times. Just as he was about to stand up and return to his room, he suddenly froze...

In an inconspicuous corner of the dance floor, he actually saw a familiar figure.

A man who looked somewhat颓废, with a cynical smile... a man who was wearing a set of denim clothing at such a formal ball...

Cowboy Number Five??

Why is he here?

Blood瞳's doubts were still lingering in his heart when he saw Cowboy Number Five suddenly pick up a glass of wine and walk towards the other end of the dance floor. And there was Carrie.

Carrie was chatting happily with several men, and from time to time发出放荡的笑声. She had no idea that she had become Cowboy Number Five's target. But from Blood瞳's angle, he could just see the sneer on the corner of his mouth under Cowboy Number Five's hat.

"What a... nice encounter." Blood瞳 shook his head and smiled wryly. He casually flicked the cigarette butt away.

In the next moment, he supported the railing with one hand and jumped out of the balcony...
