Wayne listened to his accusation expressionlessly.
Now, when he heard this kind of thing again, he no longer had the extremely shocked first reaction.
Some things are news for the first time you hear them, but you have become accustomed to them the nth time you hear them. What replaced it was an unsurprising feeling of helplessness.
But Tasia and Chris had obviously not been exposed to this, so they seemed particularly indignant.
Chris frowned tightly, "This place is not far from the royal capital, not to mention the frequent traffic of caravans. How could he be so bold?"
Although angry, her first reaction to what Horace said was doubt.
No wonder she didn't believe it.
Miss Chris, who lived a life in the royal capital that mortals could only dream of, was well protected by the Duke and his family.
As long as she didn't look out the window, the filth would never be able to break through the castle's protection and appear naked before her eyes.
Wayne sighed.
"As long as there are people in the capital who are willing to help him cover up, it's actually very easy to hide this kind of thing." He said with emotion.
Even in the same world, even in the same story.
As long as the perspective is different, the scenery you see will be completely different.
Horace regarded Tasia as his savior, and looked at her with eyes full of reverence. He didn't know if telling these strangers in front of him would work, but he couldn't find a better choice.
When he discovered the secret of the city lord, he immediately backed up the evidence in his hand and hid it in a safe place. He had no intention of getting involved, but he did hesitate to tell the story completely.
There are more than one or two people involved in this matter.
However, before he really made a decision, the city lord made the decision first.
First, he was deprived of his noble status, and then he was imprisoned on various charges. After he was controlled, he was tortured and asked about the whereabouts of the evidence in his hand.
It was precisely because Horace knew that once he revealed the evidence, he would definitely die if he lost his last bargaining chip, so he refused to speak.
However, the guards' punishment for themselves last night was obviously much more severe.
Rather than trying to force out evidence, it was more like... trying to prevent him from ever speaking again.
Before he fell into coma, Horace's heart and eyes were filled with only despair, as if his eyes were covered by a thick dark cloud, unable to see the light of day.
However, when he woke up again, he was enveloped in infinite light, and a warm feeling of comfort spread throughout his body.
An unprecedented calm and tranquility came over my heart, as if all the shackles were removed.
He suddenly seemed to realize something.
Could it be that Alik lost his patience in an instant because he didn't want him to reveal his secret to these people, and his torture methods became much more severe?
He was afraid that if he couldn't seize the opportunity in front of him, he would never be able to tell the truth again.
"Yes, Alik dared to act so wantonly because he had the backing to protect him." He said, "I have conclusive evidence of the atrocities he committed, and I also have a list of Alik's benefits. As long as he can Submitting it to His Majesty the King will definitely expose the numerous serious crimes he has committed over the years!"
...Good guy, with this thing in hand, no wonder Alik refuses to let you out no matter what.
"We are the children of Duke Elliot Wincher."
Wayne directly revealed his identity: "I am Wayne Winche, and this is Chrissy Winche. That is our classmate, Tasia Louie."
He stared intently at the look on Horace's face as he spoke these words.
Don't wait for a long time, only to find out in the end that your family and this moth city lord are an accomplice, then something big will happen.
Fortunately, when Horace heard Elliot's name, ecstasy suddenly appeared in his eyes.
It could be seen that at this moment he really felt that he was saved.
He had been facing Tasia's body before, and subconsciously moved towards Wayne and the others.
"Since they are the children of Duke Elliot, this matter must not be difficult for you!" He said happily, "I can directly tell you the whereabouts of the evidence. Please be sure to submit it to the Duke. He will definitely Justice will be served!”
He never seemed to doubt that Eliot was in cahoots with those people.
To actually believe in a great nobleman who is at the top of the food chain...
I don’t know if he is too naive, or if he is really sure.
Perhaps Duke Elliot's usual behavior is too tight-knit, and even Wayne cannot determine his tendencies.
"I can continue to pretend to be unconscious and be imprisoned by them to paralyze Alik's vigilance. At the same time, I hope that the young masters and ladies will return to the royal capital immediately after getting the evidence to prevent him from going crazy and resorting to any means." Horace said very seriously.
"But... in this case, if he notices something, your life will most likely be in danger." Tasia was worried.
If they had left, no one could be sure what Alik would have done if he knew his crime had been exposed.
Horace's current identity is just a civilian, and killing him is not much more difficult than trampling on an ant. Count Alik was completely helpless in his revenge.
Hearing this, Horace looked slightly startled, then smiled bitterly and said: "This risk must be taken. I just hope that you can find reinforcements as soon as possible and bring Alik to justice."
As soon as these words came out, the venue fell into an unspeakable silence.
...This is basically the death flag established.
Life and death were at stake, and Tasia couldn't bear to ask him about magic awakening in such a tight time frame. She looked at Wayne and Chris.
After thinking for a moment, Wayne knocked on the armrest of the seat and said, "We can do you a favor and transfer the evidence to father. But... there is no guarantee that the result will satisfy you."
In his mind, the decision has been made.
His words sounded reserved, but Horace did not show any disappointment.
"As long as this is enough."
Although his posture was awkward, he still struggled to salute them. "I... I am very grateful."
Apart from being unable to move his legs and feet, his movements are extremely standard.
You can still vaguely see some of his extraordinary energy when he is high-spirited.
Chris bit her lower lip, showing sympathy.
However, she didn't say anything.
Horace told them where the evidence was hidden and how to connect it in simple and quick sentences.
"I...can I ask you to do me one more favor?"
Perhaps because he felt that he had caused too much trouble to others, Horace sounded a little embarrassed.
"If it's not too difficult." Wayne said calmly.
