Chapter 228 Release from Prison
"Hasn't your Highness taught you etiquette?"
Huo Wanqing's voice was a little sharp, not as gentle as before, but a little more hoarse.
"please."
The man in sunglasses felt puzzled and had no intention of paying attention to the woman. However, after feeling the agreeing gaze from inside the car, he opened the door for Huo Wanqing.
"That's pretty much it."
Huo Wanqing raised her chin arrogantly and got into the car with her head held high.
However, the next second, when her eyes met with the person in the car, Huo Wanqing froze in place.
"It seems that Miss Huo was disappointed that she didn't meet the person in her heart."
"Your Highness Ares!?"
Huo Wanqing screamed in surprise, and Ares' eyes suddenly turned cold. He put his slender fingers to his lips in a gesture to keep quiet.
"Ms. Huo, please introduce yourself."
"My name is Colin, and I am currently the president of the Senate."
Seeing Huo Wanqing stunned, Ares regained his nonchalant look and spoke.
"Yes, Ari... Lord Colin."
Huo Wanqing immediately understood, sat up straight somewhat stiffly, and nodded repeatedly.
"It seems that Miss Huo still hopes to be rescued by the Lan family."
Seeing Huo Wanqing looking distraught, Ares couldn't help but narrow his eyes dangerously.
"How could it be... I'm just quite surprised..."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for rescuing me from the cage."
Feeling Ares' warning, Huo Wanqing's heart trembled violently.
He immediately suppressed his overflowing emotions and carefully explained to Ares.
However, facing such a handsome man who was willing to spend a huge amount of money to save her, Huo Wanqing's thoughts could not help but change.
Apart from the fact that he liked her, she couldn't think of any other reason to explain Ares's behavior.
If it was really as she thought, then she could definitely take advantage of this man's feelings...
"I spent so much money to rescue you because you are still useful to me."
Ares seemed to have noticed long ago that Huo Wanqing had some inappropriate thoughts.
His eyes were cold, and even with just a glance, Huo Wanqing could sense the hidden danger.
"Now I understand why Tai Lun tried so hard to stop me from cooperating with Miss Huo."
The next second, Ares spoke again with a faint smile.
Huo Wanqing was stunned. Terran?
Tyron was the middleman who brought her and Ares together for the first time, and is also Ares' most loyal subordinate.
However, didn’t he die in the battle against the Hades LE virus a long time ago?
Huo Wanqing thought about it, looked at Ares in confusion, and waited for his next words.
This Ares is so unpredictable that even someone like Huo Wanqing who is good at observing people's expressions can't figure out what he is thinking.
"Ms. Huo is really good at doing things..."
"Nothing accomplished."
Ares opened his mouth again, smiling sarcastically, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
But Huo Wanqing could clearly feel his anger.
"I…"
Huo Wanqing was speechless for a moment. She knew that Ares had a sharp tongue, but she didn't expect that he would tell her everything in person without giving her any face.
Although starting with Liu Yu, all these issues were eventually resolved by the Lan family.
But she did contribute a lot. It was Ares's men who failed because they were incompetent. What does it have to do with her?
"No need to explain, I only care about the results."
Who would have thought that before Huo Wanqing could continue to explain, Ares raised his hand to interrupt.
Huo Wanqing always felt that Ares seemed to be able to see through her inner thoughts, and his scrutinizing eyes made Huo Wanqing terrified.
"I took so much trouble to get you out, not to listen to your explanation."
"You should understand that this only proves that you are still of some use to me."
Ares lit the cigar in his hand and blew a puff of smoke straight at Huo Wanqing.
Huo Wanqing was choked and didn't react for a moment. She quickly covered her mouth and kept coughing.
Didn’t Ares say all these words when we got in the car just now? What exactly did he want to express?
Huo Wanqing lowered her head in thought, and felt even more that Ares seemed to have some mental problems.
There was a fierce look in her eyes when she lowered her eyes. When dealing with Ares, she felt more deeply what humiliation was.
In the confrontation between Ares and her, they were never equals.
She will always be inferior to others, or so to speak.
From the beginning to the end, Ares never treated her as a human being and never gave her any respect!
And Huo Wanqing guessed correctly, to Ares, Huo Wanqing was nothing.
Moreover, Huo Wanqing was willing to wipe out even her family for her own benefit, which made him look down on her even more.
He used Huo Wanqing simply because he was attracted by her ambition at all costs and her relationship with Garland.
"I want the border defense map of the northern continent that the Lan family has kept."
"What!?"
"I'll get it for you somewhere!"
In the silence, Ares's voice sounded again. Huo Wanqing's pupils shrank suddenly, and her eyes were full of disbelief.
"I can't go back to the Lan family anymore, how can I steal the city defense map for you!"
Seeing that Ares did not reply and just looked at her warningly, Huo Wanqing felt more and more that he was not joking.
However, if she was discovered stealing the border map, even death would be a luxury for her.
Even someone as ruthless as Huo Wanqing was shocked by Ares's ambition and began to fear him.
"Then I guess you prefer life in prison."
Ares withdrew his scrutinizing gaze and said a few words lightly, which made Huo Wanqing feel as if she had fallen into an icy cave.
Thinking of being bullied and beaten by those inferior people in prison, Huo Wanqing unconsciously clenched her fists tightly and looked fierce.
She always felt that all this was arranged by Evelin.
Evelin deliberately found many people who committed minor crimes and locked them up for a few days, just to teach her a lesson!
She has had enough of the beatings, scoldings and darkness in prison!
She absolutely didn't want to go back to that kind of cage and suffer again.
"Your Highness, I really can't do this, but you can tell me the other conditions."
Huo Wanqing clenched her teeth. She was gambling.
There was no way Ares didn't know that she could no longer return to Garland.
This is just to test my sincerity.
"Ms. Huo, you have to let me see your value."
"I never keep any worthless waste around me."
Ares took a deep puff of his cigar and casually played with the lighter in his hand.
"But I..."
"How about this, I'll take you to see something and then you can make the decision."
Seeing Huo Wanqing hesitate, Ares extended an olive branch again.
Huo Wanqing was puzzled, but nodded obediently.
The black sedan started and shuttled through the crowd and traffic like a silent cheetah.
