I just want to live a peaceful life in DC world

Chapter 213 Veronica's Invitation

This is the top floor of the Kyle Anderson Building. As the tallest building in the city, you can overlook the entire city through transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, and look out to the Metropolitan Daily Planet Building and the Wayne Building in Gotham in the distance.

Veronica didn't lie, this is indeed her boudoir.The room of more than [-] square meters is full of life traces of single women, and the fragrance of mature women can be smelled in the air.

The dim and blurred orange lights, coupled with the faintly audible sound of water, add to the charming atmosphere here.

"It's been a long time, Mr. Jacques."

Hearing Veronica's voice, Jacques, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, turned his head, and his sight was immediately attracted by the woman in front of him.

Veronica, who had just finished her bath, was only wearing a pure black silk nightgown, her wet blond hair was hanging around her ears, emitting faint moisture.

And the fair skin was slightly flushed due to being washed by hot water, which made the already mature and beautiful strong woman even more charming.

Jacques' brief absent-minded response seemed to satisfy Veronica. She walked up to Jacques with small and exquisite bare feet, and the scent of rose shampoo and female deodorant mixed with her nostrils.

"Seeing that you have no interest in that super girl, I thought you had no interest in this area. But from this point of view, Mr. Joaquin Zhou, you are still a normal man."

Hearing Veronica's provocative words, Jacques narrowed his eyes slightly.

"It can be seen that Veronica, you are very good at controlling men."

"You're only half right, Jacques."

Veronica took Jacques' hand and led him step by step to the big bed covered with high-quality velvet bedding.

"I'm good at controlling anyone, but I rarely control men—"

The slender and well-proportioned jade arms supported Jacques' waist, and then gently pushed Jacques, who was pushed by Veronica onto the soft and comfortable big bed.

"Because there has never been a man worth my effort to control before."

Jacques was lying on the bed, looking at Veronica's graceful figure crawling on him like a cat, showing an interesting smile.

"Then you mean, I have value that you value?"

"Jaquin, I must admit that you have attracted my attention, and now I really want to get to know you better."

Veronica gently untied the belt of her nightgown, and the looming scenery made Jacques unable to look away as a normal man.

"I'm glad you're saying that, Veronica, but I still think maybe we should start by sitting down and talking—"

"Lie down and talk, my dear."

Veronica's delicate and beautiful face approached Jacques, and the sweet and warm breath like an orchid blew on his face.

"And this way you can know everything about you in a deeper way."

"How deep?"

Veronica reached into her nightgown and cast a coquettish wink at Jacques.

"The kind of depth that directly searches your brain."

click!

I saw a pair of shining handcuffs suddenly locked Jacques' wrists, and at the same time, a little finger-thick cable of unknown material broke through the mattress and came out.

The cable was wrapped around Jacques' waist, legs, chest, and neck at the same time. In just an instant, Jacques was bound to the bed and could not move.

Jacques narrowed his eyes slightly, with a faint smile on his face.

"Veronica, isn't this game too exciting?"

But at this moment Veronica didn't respond to Jacques's words. She stood up again and fastened the tie of her nightgown, her face was covered with frost, and she looked at Jacques with indifference and contempt.

"At first I thought it was someone related to those damn 'gods', but it seems that I was worrying too much, I'm just a pervert full of dirty thoughts."

At this moment, an orange light suddenly shone from a dim chandelier on the ceiling, and a translucent female body phantom appeared beside Veronica.

"'I have to admit you've got my attention and I'm desperate to get to know you right now' hehe I thought our unmasculine Dr. Veronica Kyle was finally opening up to some man My heart is looking for warmth."

"Stop talking stupidly, Adrianna, scan his brain quickly, I want to know where he learned about my daughter."

The electronic phantom called Adriana instantly turned into a spot of light and disappeared, and then reappeared on Jacques' body. Although she reached out and made a charming gesture of stroking Jacques' cheek, Jacques didn't talk to her at all. There is no tactile sensation.

"What a pity, Mr. Joaquin Zhou, it seems that you will not be able to spend the night with the beautiful Veronica."

Jacques sighed softly, and he felt something cold and metallic touch the temples on both sides of his head.

"But don't worry, I'll take Veronica's place and let you have a sweet dream—although it may be painful and convulsive, but it's okay, and when you wake up the next day, there will be nothing but false memories of happiness Will remember."

Crackling!

The metal objects attached to both sides of Jacques' temples flickered with dazzling electric arcs. Jacques lay on the bed blankly, his body convulsed continuously under the restraint of the cables.

And Veronica sat on the sofa with a tired face, her slender and well-proportioned legs overlapped and curled up, then she took a goblet from the tea table and poured herself a glass of red wine.

While sipping the slightly bitter wine, Veronica looked at Jacques who was being tortured with cold and heartless eyes.

This is what you asked for, no matter where you know about Isado, but since you took the initiative to get involved, don't blame me for being rude.

"How about Adriana, did you find anything? Did the doctor who treated Isado leak the secret, or did he have something to do with the witch Circe?"

However, the electronic phantom called Adriana stood up from Jacques, simulating on her face emotions that should not belong to artificial intelligence-doubt, puzzlement.

"Something is wrong, Veronica. I can't find anything."

Veronica frowned slightly, and stood up from the sofa holding a goblet with a gloomy expression.

"What do you mean, Adrianna? It means that he expected this kind of thing to happen, and did he encrypt his memory in advance?"

"No! That's not the question, Veronica. His brain is empty—like a soulless shell, just like your daughter Isadore's!"

"what?!"

Veronica turned pale, and opened her mouth in shock. At the same time, her hand loosened unconsciously, and the goblet containing red wine slipped from her hand.

However, the sound of glass falling to the ground and breaking was not heard, because the goblet was caught by someone halfway.

"I spent $1000 million just to do my best to create the opportunity to have a peaceful conversation with you, Veronica."

I saw another Jacques standing beside Veronica, holding the goblet she had just drank in his hand, and then drank it down.

"Now, can we have a good talk?"
