"Lin Ke, believe me, I have no ill intentions towards you...Don't keep avoiding me." Xie Tianfeng smiled bitterly and said to Lin Ke, who was hiding behind Han Yu with half of his head looking at him.
Two days have passed since Xie Tianfeng roared at Wang Ba Tian Hedong Lion. Xie Tianfeng’s majesty that day was deeply imprinted in Lin Ke’s mind, so that every time Xie Tianfeng wanted to get close to Lin Ke, Lin Ke would act like a
He hid behind Han Yu like a frightened deer. If you want to ask why Han Yu was chosen, perhaps it was because Han Yu was the one who had saved Lin Ke, and Lin Ke felt more trust in Han Yu.
"Han Yu, you should think of a way to make Lin Ke stop avoiding me." Xie Tianfeng glared at Han Yu and shouted.
When Han Yu heard this, he muttered in a low voice, "What can I do about this?...Xie Tianfeng, please don't glare at me. I'll just think of a way."
Seeing Han Yu's submission, Xie Tianfeng smiled proudly and said, "You know what's going on. By the way, did you agree to come back today to Mingyue and Ning Ping?"
"Yes. They said before they left that after getting rid of the gold in their hands, they should be back by noon today at the latest." Han Yu replied while persuading Lin Ke behind him.
"...Then when they come back, should you leave?" Xie Tianfeng asked after being silent for a moment.
"Yes, Ning Ping and I still have our own things to do, and Xiang Mingyue also needs to find someone to treat his hand. We all have our own things to do." Han Yu replied matter-of-factly.
"What about Lin Ke?" Xie Tianfeng asked.
Han Yu was stunned when he heard this, and then frowned in distress. Judging from the situation, the Lin Ke in front of him probably lost his memory, and seemed to be a little dependent on him. What would she do if she left?
"Well..." Han Yu looked at Xie Tianfeng in embarrassment.
Upon seeing this, Xie Tianfeng replied: "I am willing to take her in, but judging from her appearance, there is a high chance that she will not agree to this arrangement."
"...Lin Ke, would you like to stay and live with Xie Tianfeng?" Han Yu asked tentatively.
Sure enough, when Lin Ke heard this, he immediately shook his head like a rattle and hugged Han Yu's arm tightly with both hands. Although he had expected it, Xie Tianfeng on the side couldn't help but feel a little depressed when he saw it.
"Tianfeng, it's almost time, can we start preparing lunch?" Wang Batian, who had a wok in his left hand and a frying spoon in his right hand, wearing a white apron around his waist and dressed like a standard chef, walked out of the kitchen and asked Xie Tianfeng.
"Wait a while, Xiang Mingyue and Ningping will come back today, and we will cook after they come back." Xie Tianfeng said after hearing this.
"Okay. Tianfeng, what do you want to eat today?" Wang Batian nodded and asked.
"Whatever." Xie Tianfeng replied casually.
Han Yu on the side rolled his eyes covertly when he heard this. As for Wang Batian, after these few days of contact, Han Yu found that this person is not bad. At least he listens to Xie Tianfeng. He will do whatever Xie Tianfeng tells him to do.
, if you ask him to go east, he will not dare to go west, if you ask him to chase a dog, he will never chase a chicken, a standard new good man.
But these have nothing to do with Han Yu, and Han Yu doesn't want to say anything about this matter. After all, only the person wearing the shoes knows whether the shoes fit. Only the groom and the bride know whether their marriage is happy or not. As for other people's opinions,
Those words of advice are just nonsense.
**********************************
Paul's manor, or former manor, which had been destroyed by alien beasts, had long since turned into ruins. Standing in front of the gate of the ruins, a middle-aged man in his forties looked at the half-collapsed mansion.
I was speechless for a long time.
"Master, the person we are looking for has been found." A man dressed as a butler came forward and bowed to report.
"Where is he?" the middle-aged man asked without looking back.
"According to the young master's instructions, we have taken him to a secret cell and imprisoned him." The butler bowed and replied.
“Did any fish slip through the net?”
"No, please rest assured, young master, none of the people on the list have escaped. Except for the leaders of those people who were captured alive by us, everyone else has been silenced."
"...Well done, leading the way. I'm going to ask Orka, what happened here while I was away from Darnielle? I didn't even see the last of my father.
arrive."
"Yes, Master."
…
"What else do you want?" Seeing that the housekeeper made no move, the middle-aged man asked.
"Master, regarding the whereabouts of the Czech housekeeper..."
"Any news?"
"...No. According to reports from our people, they have searched all the places where Butler Czech may be hiding, but unfortunately found nothing. Hobi came to ask for information. Do they need to continue searching? Their actions during this period have caused some
people’s attention.”
"..." The middle-aged man was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said slowly: "Tell Hobi that the search will turn from bright to dark, and try every means to dig out that old Czech dog. I want to ask him, father
He’s dead, why didn’t he die?”
"yes."
In the dark and damp dungeon, Orka, who was covered in wounds and whose hands and feet were shackled, huddled in a corner of the cell with his back against the wall. Just one day ago, when he was about to leave Daniel with his brothers
When I was on a star, I was suddenly attacked by a group of mysterious people. Those people were ruthless, and you could tell at a glance that they were guys who licked blood all the time. In just five minutes, except for Orka who was captured alive, Vincent,
Erwin and the others were all killed, and they were all killed in one move.
Orka closed her eyes in pain, but opened them immediately as soon as she closed them. Without him, as soon as she closed her eyes, the screams of Vincent and Erwin before they died could be heard in her ears.
"Squeak~"
Following the gritty sound of the door opening, a burst of footsteps came. Walking to the cell where Olka was held, the footsteps stopped. Someone was heard saying to Olka: "Olka, you knew I was here.
The reason?"
"...Who are you? Why are you causing trouble for our brothers? I, Olka, have never seen you, let alone offended you." Olka glared at the middle-aged man standing outside the cell with an angry look.
asked.
"...Although you have never met me, you have met my father. Now that my father is dead, I need to find the murderer who killed my father." The middle-aged man said in a gentle voice.
"Just for this reason? You killed all my brothers?" Orka shouted in disbelief.
"Whether you believe it or not, I have already explained it to you. Now, answer my question, who killed my father?" The middle-aged man looked at Olka and said in a deep voice.
"Huh!" Orka snorted back.
"...Olka, don't anger me, because that will do you no good at all. I know you may not be afraid of death, but I don't have any ways to make your life worse than death." The middle-aged man said gloomily.
He looked at Orka and said.
Olka shivered when he heard the words. The middle-aged man's words made Olka understand his situation at this time. If he couldn't answer it well, it is very likely that today next year would be the anniversary of his death. Olka didn't want to
Death, at least before avenging his brothers, Orka didn't want to die.
After trying to think about it, Olka asked tentatively: "Can you give me a hint?"
"Paul Ade is my father." The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
"Are you Martin Ed? Why are you here?" Olka cried out.
"This is not something you need to know. Now, answer the question I just asked you, who killed my father? Is the housekeeper Czech dead or alive now?" The middle-aged man, that is, Martin Ed asked coldly.
road.
"...To be honest, I don't know who the person who killed your father is? I don't know where the housekeeper Czech is at this time? I can only tell you what I know. As for whether you believe it or not, that's entirely up to you.
Decision." Olka said after thinking for a while.
"……you say."
"Okay. Let's talk about this matter starting from the commission we accepted from your father this time. I don't intend to hide it from you. Your father hired us this time to get rid of someone."
"who?"
"Xie Tianfeng, a woman."
"...Why do you want to get rid of that woman named Xie Tianfeng?"
"I don't know the specific situation, but according to the information I heard privately, it is very likely that Xie Tianfeng knew a secret about your father, so your father wanted to get rid of him."
"...Go on."
"We were entrusted by the Czech steward. Following the instructions of the Czech steward, we found Xie Tianfeng and almost succeeded in completing the mission. However, things went wrong. Just when we were about to succeed, Xie Tianfeng was rescued. In order to complete the mission
, I led my men to chase Xie Tianfeng until we reached Motolo Mountain Pass, where we met the Ghost-faced Fox King in Motolo Mountain. In our opinion, if we were met by the Ghost-faced Fox King, then Xie Tianfeng and rescue her
The people we met were bound to die, so we chose to retreat when the Ghost Faced Fox King had no time to take care of us. But who knew that just when we asked Butler Czech for the promised reward, Butler Czech claimed that there was no evidence to prove that Xie Tianfeng was dead?
For this reason, we refused to pay the remuneration we had agreed upon. So we came up with the idea of getting the remuneration ourselves. But who would have thought that when we were about to take action, a group of strange beasts suddenly rushed out of the manor and killed Daniel.
The garrison of the star was attracted, and then a tall master was attracted. The master killed all the strange beasts alone. Then we found out that your father was announced to have committed suicide in his room. As for
Whether it was suicide or not, I don’t know. I only know that since that time, the butler Czech has also disappeared. But just when we were deciding on Darnielle, you came... The above is all I know."
"...In other words, Butler Czech knows who killed my father?"
"I don't know either. But the butler Czech is your father's butler, and he definitely knows more than I do."
"Who is the master you just mentioned who killed all the strange beasts alone?"
"I asked someone about it, and that person is the inspector general of the alliance, named Maxi."
"Hmm? You mean, Maxi has been to the manor?"
"Yes. At that time, many people saw with their own eyes that Maxi showed his power and easily destroyed those troublesome beasts."
