The city lord's face darkened.
"It's so ridiculous! As soon as those people rushed up, they labeled us as colluding with the rebels..." Wayne said coldly,
"Each generation of heads of the Wenche family has fought countless battles for the kingdom. This is an insult to the honor of the Wenche family!" He looked so angry that anyone who looked at him would find it difficult to handle.
"Yes, I will also discuss these situations with my father." Chris said lightly.
Count Alik's pretended relaxed expression was completely gone, and his expression was solemn. It is a serious accusation related to family honor.
For some established nobles, in order to maintain family honor, they would even risk their own lives and initiate one-on-one duels.
——Of course, he didn’t think things would reach that point. Although I don’t understand why these noble people suddenly appeared in Costco City, as long as they are well fed and entertained, it should not be difficult to deal with these teenage brats.
Alik thought so. On second thought, he apologized and said, "I never meant to humiliate the Wenche family."
"Those people just followed my instructions and searched for the whereabouts of the rebels in some key defense areas. But why they regarded several distinguished guests as rebels may need to be investigated after they wake up. However, ...I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!" He clapped his hands.
A servant came in with a small box and presented it with his head lowered. Alik took it casually and opened it on the table.
Inside, there are three gorgeous gems the size of a fist, reflecting bright light. It’s worth a fortune just by looking at it.
Looking at the gem, a flash of heartache flashed in Alik's eyes, but he still said resolutely: "This is my small kindness. Please give my regards to Duke Elliot." However, he would never have thought that this At that time, Wayne also felt a little sad.
——You gave too much, and it’s hard for me to accept it in front of Chris and Tasia! But before he could say anything, Chris sarcastically said: "Count Alik, it must have taken a lot of effort to get this thing?" I don't know if he didn't hear what she meant, Alik He showed a very complacent look: "It's okay, it's okay." In other words, he just used some small tricks that are not worth mentioning.
He smiled but said nothing, barely said a word
"Everything I understand understands".
"We don't need this kind of thing." Wayne frowned.
"In fact, we originally wanted to go find a friend and ask him for some information."
"But I went to his house to pounce without saying a word, and the guards thought he was a spy sent by the rebels. They took action without any explanation." After hearing these words, Alik's expression changed and he looked a little ugly.
He already had a premonition in his heart, but luckily he still asked one more question: "Who are your friends?"
"Baron Horace, does City Lord Alik know this person?" As he said this, Wayne stared at his face closely, not missing any slight change on it.
The moment the name was mentioned, the corners of Alik's eyes twitched, revealing a few fine wrinkles.
Wayne suddenly knew something. He crossed his legs and leaned his back on the seat.
"It seems that City Lord Alik knows his whereabouts? Please let him come to see us." He said. ...How could you not know?
Alik looked bitter. This man was a commoner who had just personally deprived himself of his noble title not long ago.
Common people like weeds can actually know the great nobles in the royal capital. What's the reason?
"If you are talking about Horace who was deprived of his title of nobility, then I think I should know." His tone was so normal that there was no hint of guilt.
"He colluded with the rebels and was arrested and imprisoned in a prison behind the city."
"Perhaps it is because of this that the guards misunderstood their identities..." At this time, Tasia, who had remained silent, suddenly said, "Excuse me, can we go and visit?" Lik's gaze shifted to Tasia.
"Who is this?" His tone was just right for doubt. Wayne casually introduced them to each other.
"This is Tasia Louis, our classmate." This city lord is so stupid that he didn't even do the most basic identity investigation.
But then again, if he was so smart, it probably wouldn't be his turn for him and others to come to him.
Although he still didn't ask for any explanation, Alik still pretended to suddenly realize it and said for a long time.
He said "Oh" and nodded.
"We came here just to meet that friend," Wayne said. He deliberately used Spring and Autumn writing to cover up most of the information, making Alik mistakenly think that Horace was very important to them.
"So, I want to ask very seriously: Did that baron... really collude with the rebels?" he asked slowly.
Alik's attitude was obviously shaken. But he hesitated for a long time, and finally insisted: "I have found conclusive evidence."
"If this were not the case, I would not have sent people to arrest him directly." Alik said.
"So, I'm afraid I won't be able to provide you with the opportunity to visit." Alik showed a businesslike attitude.
Just like the person who wanted to give away the extra-large and gorgeous gems just now was not me.
"Count Alik, we have traveled all the way, and you won't let us return empty-handed, right?" Wayne threatened: "If you insist on making us unhappy, then we will only let you live your life in the future. It’s not so satisfactory~” When a person with no bottom line suddenly starts talking about justice, there is one and only one reason: this matter is profitable for him.
It seems that Count Alik can't see any benefit from not allowing himself and others to meet that Horace, so it will obviously bring him considerable harm.
Alik looked unhappy.
"I treat you all kindly out of respect for the honor of the Wenche family, but... no matter how crazy you are, there should be a limit." He pretended.
"A few of them are still young and don't quite understand the evil of the rebels."
"I advise you to first receive a few more years of education from teachers in the academy. When you are an adult and have a job, you can then worry about these grown-up things." The speech was really impolite.
It seemed that Horace had personal interests at stake. In fact, as long as Horace meets him and others, he may suffer huge losses.
So much so that he tried his best to offend himself and Chris, but also wanted to stop them.
"You may not quite understand what you are facing now..." Wayne smiled.
"How do you know that we are not following your father's instructions on this trip?" (Search on Baidu on mobile for [My Sister is a Villainous Daughter + New Book] Click to read on your mobile phone to turn pages, protect your eyes. Save electricity. Save flow function)
