In the end, Chris maintained her last bit of dignity as a boss and nodded seemingly indifferently.
"——Although your apology sounds insincere at first glance, I, who have always been magnanimous, will mercifully forgive you this time."
Crossing her arms, Chris turned around and left with her head held high.
After watching her leave, Wayne lowered his gaze and casually glanced through the names on the invitations in his hand.
When he saw one of the special people, his movements suddenly paused.
"Mrs. Cherry?"
…
In a private tavern box.
Through several disguises, Bulwer finally successfully met with Norman Laird and Mrs. Cherry.
After carefully confirming that there was no tail following him, and closing the box door, Bulwer put down his hood and took a long breath.
The other two people in the private room seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
"Although 'that one' lightly let go of all the accusations against me, he still has not lowered his guard against me. During this period of time, someone has been monitoring my whereabouts outside my residence." In the empty seat left for himself Sitting down, Bulwer couldn't help but complain.
It can be said that the three people in the box at this moment are the highest-ranking figures installed by the rebels in the royal capital.
If they are unlucky enough to be caught in one fell swoop, the entire rebel camp can even fall apart in an instant.
"Don't you understand yet? That's the kind of person he is." Mrs. Cherry covered her mouth and said with a sweet smile.
Although everyone knew who the person referred to in the words was, they tacitly agreed not to mention information that might reveal their identity.
Norman curled his lips.
If he wanted to avoid those people and sneak into Bulwer's house, it would be easy. However, Mrs. Cherry was unable to do this.
Therefore, if the three of them want to meet, they have no choice but to choose a riskier plan.
"So, what's the reason for everyone to meet?" he asked Bulwer.
Norman was a little unhappy at first.
After the last conversation, he offered to convey the proposed plan to Mrs. Cherry on his behalf, thus avoiding many risks, but was rejected by Bulwer.
Upon hearing his question, Bulwer replied calmly: "Of course I want to integrate the clues in the hands of the three parties in order to discuss a better plan."
Then Bulwer looked at Mrs. Cherry.
"Ma'am, I really need your help in this matter." He made the request in a low manner.
Mrs. Cherry looked at the two of them, squinted her eyes and said, "Oh, I am a weak woman, so I may not be able to help you much."
I don’t know if she is being self-effacing or if she really thinks so.
Bulwer's expression remained unchanged and he continued: "According to what I have found out, that... new envoy must be secretly planning some major conspiracy."
As the conversation progressed, we gradually stopped caring about blurring the identities of key figures.
"This matter... will definitely require the participation of the city guard, so it is most likely a vicious action involving the safety of high-level people." He lowered his voice.
The other two people basically guessed the first sentence, but the latter was not so calming.
"Sure?"
Mrs. Cherry's expression became solemn.
She actually knew very little about what Bulwer had encountered recently, most of it was just the occasional gossip she heard around her.
It was only because of Mr. Aikos who sent a message to Bulwer before that she thought of where to start and appeased the rebel forces lurking in the royal capital.
Because of her special status, she rarely participated in plans that required publicity, and mainly stayed in the background to provide support.
"It's at least ninety percent possible," Bulwer asserted.
"If it weren't for that, there was no need for him to trap me to death. If I hadn't been able to use so much power, I might have fallen dead this time."
"Moreover, after taking over my position, he also frequently interfered in personnel arrangements, which has caused many people's work to be disrupted now."
Even though he was nominally staying at home and thinking about his mistakes, it didn't mean that he was completely ignorant of all the changes that had taken place in the city guard.
"——It's just to paralyze the city guard for a period of time so that he can act on his own." This was his judgment.
Mrs. Cherry pondered for a moment.
"Then his goal is..."
"I don't know yet." Bulwer sighed.
"His Majesty trusts him extremely abnormally. I don't think there is any reason for it. I just can't find out at the moment."
Based on what I have learned over the years, His Majesty the King is definitely not an easy person to get along with.
His stubborn and suspicious nature has almost been ingrained into his bones and cannot be eliminated no matter what.
Lovers, relatives, subordinates... they are all untrustworthy in his eyes.
Why on earth would such a person so easily hand over a force that could jeopardize his own safety into the hands of an outsider?
After thinking about it, I can't find a reasonable reason.
Norman suddenly said: "Could it be that he gave something that the king needed?"
After saying this, there was silence on the table for a moment.
"Ha~ I think my lover doesn't have this special hobby yet?" Mrs. Cherry said with a half-smile.
Norman suddenly realized that there was an ambiguity in his words.
He explained angrily, "I mean, he may have provided some secrets or conditions in exchange for such a result."
"It's possible." Bulwer nodded.
"I'm not the only one he offended. Many nobles have strong opinions on him." As he said this, he seemed to have thought of something else.
"Speaking of which, Lord Simon seems to have had some issues with Duke Wenche, and he made many small moves some time ago."
Norman frowned when he heard this: "Could his target be Elliot Winche?"
As soon as these words came out, even he himself paused.
If you think about it carefully, it's not impossible. His Majesty the King has been afraid of the Wenche family for more than a day. This is not a secret in the eyes of many people.
However, no matter which method is adopted, if you want to completely bring down the Wenche family, you will have to pay a huge price.
the most important is--
The Wenche family tree cannot fall yet.
But Bulwer shook his head.
"I always feel that it doesn't look like it." He whispered, "Because the hostility is too obvious, it is unlikely. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a naked reminder to the other party to be careful about themselves?"
"And the way it was done was very unnatural."
The three of them discussed it together for a long time, but still couldn't guess what the other person was thinking.
However, since it has been deduced that the other party will take action next, you only need to be prepared and launch counterattacks at any time.
