Chapter 26 Andrea's Decision

"Uncle Charles, although the plan failed, you still have to work hard." When Andrea Doria came back in the Genoa embassy, ​​he learned about the failure of the siege and killing Justinian, but he did not show any dissatisfaction. He also looked polite to Charles, who was in charge.

But despite being forgiven, the apology manager Charles took off his hat and said, "No matter what, this is my negligence that caused the failure of this operation. It is probably not so easy to let the little fox fall into the trap next time. Please punish me, Master." As he said that, the man knelt on one knee without any defense.

Andrea's face was also cold, but he did not reveal it directly. Instead, he said calmly: "It's better to be exempted from punishment, Uncle Charles. I'm still very relieved every time you do things. It's normal for a moment to miss it this time. I just have a question to ask you, don't know if it's okay?"

"Of course there is no problem. I must know everything about the young master." The manager kneeling on the ground raised his head and replied respectfully to Andrea in front of him.

Andrea nodded and said, "Okay, I only have one question, that is, according to your statement, Justinian escaped from the encirclement and couldn't catch up, so he had to give up. However, Christol, who was with you, told me that you stopped the assassination team that you wanted to pursue. It seemed that he took the initiative to let Justinian go away. I guess there must be some misunderstandings here or that guy Christol took a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere seemed to solidify suddenly. A seemingly understatement revealed the indescribable pressure on the young Master Andrea.

However, Charles, who was half kneeling on the ground, was still calm at this time, "It turns out that this is the matter. Christol's report to you was not wrong. At that time, I did stop him from continuing to hunt down."

"Why? Give me a reason, Uncle Charles!" Andrea's tone suddenly turned sharply, and the chill in his voice seemed to freeze the whole room. This young man who had always been happy and angry showed such a look for the first time, which was chilling. Andrea was actually really angry about the failure of this action, but the important thing was that he had to know why the failure. If someone had done something secretly, Andrea would never show any mercy even if he had always respected him.

Looking at Charles, the manager kneeling on the ground and apologizing, Andrea was waiting for him to give himself a satisfactory answer.

With his head down and without saying a word, Charles seemed to be thinking something in his mind - after a long time, both of them in the room seemed to be very patient.

After a while, the manager who was kneeling on the ground finally broke the silence, raised his head and looked at the blue eyes that were not angry and arrogant in front of him. He slowly said, "Because Miss Antonia, Miss Antonia rescued Justinian at that time. I was worried that it would cause unnecessary trouble, more importantly, Miss Antonia's safety, so I ordered them not to pursue it."

"Antonia? How could she be there!" He frowned slightly and clenched his fists. Andrea's face was a rare hint of nervousness.

Charles shook his head and replied, "This is not something I can know. At that time, I recognized the lady's figure in the chaos, but it was too late to stop it. This was my dereliction of duty and I was willing to accept any punishment."

But Andrea waved his hand at this moment, and waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it's not your fault. You did nothing wrong. I blamed you wrongly, Uncle Charles. Although the action failed, it can be at least 100% sure that the news is true. Antonia's child is really here! It's great." He said sincerely, a rare softness appeared on his face, and after all, that person was his only relative in this world.

Seeing that the young man who had always been very cunning breathed a sigh of relief, and Charles, who was kneeling on the ground, also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. As a true answer, it was the best choice. As the person who had been following this young master, he knew Andrea Doria too well and knew that if he was hiding something, he might be in trouble if he was not careful. It would be better to tell him the truth.

Miss Antonia, things have come to this point. I have tried my best to help you. What to do next depends on your own. Charles said silently in his heart, while on the other side he slowly stood up and said to Andrea in front of him:

"If nothing happens, Master Andrea, then I'll go down first. After all, there are other things under my command."

"That's fine, Uncle Charles, you should do your business first. This matter is really troubled by you."

Without stopping, Andrea Doria stood up and sent the man in front of him to leave, as if he did not continue to take his suspicion about what had happened before. However, when he sent Manager Charles out of the door, he stood alone in his room, but his expression suddenly became cold.

"Do you really believe him, Master Andrea?" Behind the curtain, the thin man who had been hiding slowly walked out of it. It was Christol who reported to Andrea.

"What do you think?" Andrea asked faintly with his head tilted.

"That's all, even if he didn't deliberately let the water go, Miss Antonia knew that our plan must have been leaked. What do you think?" Cristol was obviously puzzled by the lie that the owner in front of him did not reveal the lie that the manager named Charles was.

But Andrea shrugged and said tiredly in his eyes: "So what if you don't believe it, after all, Uncle Charles has taken care of Antonia and me for so many years, let him go! At least according to the plan, he did attract the child, and his goal has been achieved."

"So what about that Greek boy named Justinian? Do we still have to continue?" Christol asked for advice.

When he heard this name again, Andrea's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he waved his hand and said, "The primary goal is to bring Antonia back safely. That person can be removed or not. It may be useful in the future, but once he becomes an obstacle, he will take this opportunity to erase it." The young man's voice was firm and full of killing decisions.

Feeling this determination, Christol also felt cold in his heart, and then nodded and agreed:
