The Wife Is A Superstar 7

Chapter 1269: True Devil From Hell

Lisa was stunned. He looked at the bejewelled Smoking Devil, then at his brother-in-law.

"So that's why," he murmured.

Now he understood why his wife became so emotional like that over a smoking pipe and even fainted as soon as she held it with her own hands. Anything that had to do with her past life as a Vetrov would always cause her state of mind to descend into chaos.

He placed the can of coconut water on the table. His appetite to drink was already lost.

"Do you know?" Jiyong continued speaking. "We have some Armenian blood in our paternal great-grandmother's side. That's why my father was named Arman. Very non-Russian."

Lisa didn't know about this. His wife had never mentioned this. Maybe she didn't think it was that important.

"It was my great-grandmother who commissioned this pipe from an Armenian craftsman as a present for my great-grandfather. Of course, she wanted it to be shaped into a devil because that's what the Vetrovs are—the devils."

Lisa frowned. His wife had also been a Vetrov in her past life as Maria. She certainly wasn't a devil.

Then Jiyong added, "Well, except for my sister. Maria was an angel, never a devil. A total anomaly among us, the Vetrovs."

Lisa nodded. Indeed, his wife was an angel. The motherfucker Emilio Miguel's appearance had nothing on his wife's original beauty as Maria Vetrova. He didn't care about what anybody said. His wife, no matter if it was her past or present self, is an ultimate beauty.

"So that's the real story." Jiyong tossed the Smoking Devil in the air and caught it just as easily with one hand. "The only thing the story given during the auction about this pipe is that it has something to do with Armenia, but other than that, the rest are bullshit."

"Are you 100% sure that pipe is the real Smoking Devil?" Lisa asked.

Jiyong gave a devilish smirk. "Even if you doubt me, do you dare doubt my sister?"

Lisa fell quiet. Of course not. He didn't doubt his wife but it was imperative that they were 100% certain that the smoking pipe indeed belonged to the Vetrovs.

"Then how did that asshole Emilio Miguel get his hands on that and even dared to put it up for auction tonight?" he asked.

"Damn if I know," Jiyong said, his tone dripping with poison. "I can only imagine how many people benefited from our family's treasures after our organization's downfall. This Smoking Devil surely won't be the last item belonging to the Vetrovs that we'll see in auctions, some motherfuckers' collections, and in the black market."

That was what Lisa thought as well.

"Do people know the Smoking Devil belonged to the Vetrovs?"

Jiyong thought for a moment, frowning. "Maybe the older ones. Only my great-grandfather and grandfather used the pipe. My father and I didn't really smoke that much. We also treated the Smoking Devil as an heirloom to pass down to the next generation and not really something to personally use."

"I'm worried that Maria might fall in danger for getting her hands on something that used to belong to the Vetrovs."

If Lisa could think this, then of course Jiyong had already thought of this possibility as well.

"We'll protect Maria."

"Of course. Always." Lisa felt that it was only natural. She is his wife after all.

"And Maria is not an easy target either. She is Fantom and now Drakon. Not to mention that she made those two devil cat spawns who inherited most of her hacking skills."

"Meowuwuwuwu! Uncle is such a super-duper to the highest level baddie! The cute and mighty Louis is not a devil cat spawn! Louis is Mommy and Daddy's precious kitty baby! Luka is a big meanie but little brother is not a devil cat spawn either! Daddy, do you also think that Louis and Luka are devil cat spawns like what Baddie Uncle said? Meowuwuwu!"

"Of course not," Lisa reassured his older AI son. "Don't mind your uncle."

"Tsk. Such a brat who eavesdrops and interrupts while the adults are talking deserve a spanking."

"Louis' bum-bum doesn't want to be spanked! MEOWUWUWUWU!!!"

Lisa sighed and sent his brother-in-law an annoyed look. Jiyong didn't give a damn.

Fortunately, it was very easy to coax Louis. If it were Luka, they would definitely had to shell out some premium money to compensate the kid for his never-ending "emotional distress".

Luka was not present because he was working overtime with ShaWn to dig for more information about Emilio Miguel and how the man had the Smoking Devil, something that originally belonged to the Vetrovs, in his possession.

"Leave Emilio Miguel to Shadow Winds," Jiyong said. "We don't know how the Smoking Devil fell into his hands. It might be by chance—meaning, he might not have any direct involvement with the Vetrovs' demise. But it's better to be safe than sorry especially since it's now known that Maria successfully won the pipe at the auction. If that Emilio Miguel really did have some involvement with my family's downfall...."

Jiyong released a deadly bloodthirsty aura.

"I'll make him and everyone involved in the massacre experience what the true devil from hell is like."

Lisa closed his eyes but his brother-in-law's evil expression had already been deeply imprinted in his mind.

"Stay away from him," Jiyong reminded. "If he's dangerous and really involved in the underworld, then my Shadow Winds will deal with him."

"En."

Lisa initially wanted to help in investigating the man but remembered that he and his brother-in-law had already long split their roles in protecting Jennie (Maria) and the rest of their family.

He would be in charge of protecting in the "light", a.k.a. the legal world, while Jiyong would guard them in the "dark", a.k.a. the criminal underworld.

It just meant that Jiyong and his Shadow Winds would take care of most of the dirty work while Lisa had the responsibility of maintaining his prestige as Manoban Corporation's President-CEO in order to have the legal power and influence to protect his wife and all their loved ones, including his brother-in-law if needed.
