Chapter 386 Identification
Chapter 386 Identification
"You can't spit it out! You have to eat it all!" Alexandra pressed Todd's head and crushed it in the vomit: "Lick it clean for me!"
Alexandra was also covered in vomit, but he didn't care at all, let alone the strange looks from the guests around him. He grabbed Todd's hair, ignored the stench, leaned close to his ear, and said through gritted teeth:
"Brother! Brother! I'm doing this to you! Why don't you resist?! Why don't you resist?! Huh?!"
Howard watched the love-hate drama of their family without any emotion, and even felt a little bored.
This kind of drama is not uncommon in his original universe, let alone this universe.
"That's enough! Stop!"
At this time, a voice of restraint came from the crowd, but the person who stood up was not Taylor, but another teenager who was younger than Alexandra.
The young man was dressed in a simple black suit, with a hint of youthful innocence on his face.
"Who's here? It turns out to be our little hero!" Alexandra let go of Todd after noticing someone else had intervened. She turned to the new boy and asked, "Are you going to be a hero again?"
"That's enough, brother! No matter how he upsets you, he's still your brother! This is the Gunther family's banquet! You're trampling on the dignity of this family!"
"Trampling on the dignity of this family?!" Alexandra acted extremely surprised. "Did I hear correctly? You actually said that."
Then he sneered and said, "It's not me who is trampling on the dignity of the Gunther family, it's him who is trampling on the dignity of the Gunther family! If I let Isabella eat these things, she will throw the plate in my face! I did this to him today, and if he continues like this, someone else will do it tomorrow!"
"As for you, our little hero..."
Alexandra looked down at where the boy was standing, his shiny black leather boots right next to the vomit.
Alexandra snorted disdainfully, then said, "Are you here to defend him? Do you think you love him more than I do?"
Then Alexandra lifted Todd, who was kneeling on the ground, and put her arm around his shoulders and said to him, "He stinks so badly now, and you think I'm bullying him, but I've never disliked him like this. And you? You don't even want to get your shoes dirty!"
Alexandra's words really stumped the young man. He looked down at the dirt at his feet, not knowing whether to move forward or backward.
Alexandra patted Todd's face and smiled at him, "Go clean up and remember, no one loves you more than I do."
After Todd left, Alexandra walked on the vomit and between Howard and the boy, acting as a middleman again to start the introduction.
"Neville, my younger brother, the little hero of the Gunther family." Alexandra introduced him to Howard. "The reason I call him the little hero is because he..."
At this point, Alexandra leaned close to Howard's ear and whispered:
"When he was eight years old, as a birthday present, he could choose a slave from among the newly acquired untouchables who hadn't been reformed. But he softened his heart and found an opportunity to release all the untouchables. However, after they escaped, they couldn't get enough food and most of them died. In the end, they all ran back on their own."
Human trafficking is something that cannot be made public, so Alexandra had to lean close to Howard and whisper that he must not give anyone an advantage.
As for the drama of brothers loving and hating each other just now, even if it spread, it would at most be a minor family scandal and would not bring any negative impact on their interests. Would those partners who have cooperative relations with the Gunther family stop cooperating just because Alexandra humiliated his brother in public?
Perhaps not. It is even possible that because of the strength of the heir, people will believe that the future power of the family can be smoothly transferred, thus producing a positive impact.
Neville knew that his brother was exposing his scandal to outsiders, but he did not show any anger or try to stop him.
After Alexandra had introduced Neville to Howard, he began to introduce Howard to Neville:
"Howard Sisyphus, I'm more used to being called Mr. Howard," Alexandra introduced. "He's my guest of honor, my father's guest of honor, and the Gunther family's guest of honor, because he belongs to Ms. Irene."
After hearing this taboo name, Neville's eyes looking at Howard instantly changed from curiosity and vigilance to indifference and undisguised hostility. Howard and Alexandra both noticed that Neville's fists clenched unconsciously.
"His strengths..." Alexandra thought for a moment and said, "He seems to be busy with his own affairs, but no one knows what they are, so I can't jump to conclusions. Who knows, maybe he'll give Ms. Irene a surprise?"
"what!!!"
But at this moment, screams were heard not far from the banquet.
Alexandra's expression, which had originally shown that she was in control of everything, suddenly changed:
"It's Isabella!"
Then he didn't care about etiquette anymore. He left Howard and Neville and rushed straight to where the scream came from.
Howard and Neville looked at each other and followed.
When they arrived at the place where the commotion had occurred, they found that the guests there had formed a circle, with Isabella and the piano in the center of the circle.
Isabella was screaming in the center of the circle. The girl's flawless skin seemed to be dried and cracked inch by inch as if it was burned by invisible flames. Her beautiful long hair fell off and broke like dead grass, and her exposed scalp was wrinkled like chicken skin. Purple light emerged from her throat and eye sockets, and her eyeballs and tongue were rapidly shrinking.
Subconsciously, Howard wanted to rush forward and save the girl with his own blood.
But then he thought again, he rushed forward and saved the girl with his own blood, so what should he do?
How could he escape with so many witnesses and even Space Marines here? Could he let Freya pay for his actions again?
Moreover, if Isa's ability was used in front of the Space Marines, even if Isabella was saved, she probably would not survive, and the family would be more likely to be implicated.
Just at this moment, he hesitated.
The severe pain made the girl run towards the people around her, but the onlookers were afraid of being contaminated by bad luck and hid away. Only Alexandra rushed forward.
But he was stopped before he could touch Isabella, and the person who stopped him was one of the two Space Marines attending the party.
After a Space Marine stopped the civilians rushing towards Isabella, another Space Marine approached the tortured girl with a serious expression. Isabella, who was almost blind, thought someone was coming to help her, and reached out to the Space Marine in despair.
But the Space Marine dodged Isabella's expectations and then pinched her head.
"Crack" sound.
Like popping a tick, the girl's head shattered in the Space Marine's hands, red and white liquid oozing from between his fingers.
Her suffering also ended at this moment.
Alexandra watched his sister die in front of him, his pupils dilated, but he couldn't say anything.
Howard's hands were shaking. He thought he was immune to all poisons.
Freya... Freya... This is what you said, that you won't let me bear more burdens, right?!
After dealing with Isabella, the two Space Marines looked at each other and then announced loudly:
"Suspected Chaos contamination. Martial law is now in effect. Everyone, please remain where you are and wait for the squadron's investigation!"
The sudden bad news plunged the originally joyful banquet into a deathly silence. Amidst the spreading fear, Neville stood up and pointed at Howard, who was still blaming himself, and said:
"The murderer! He is the murderer!"
