To be honest, this is just an ordinary revenge story. Li Yi was even a little drowsy when he heard it.
But when he heard Johnson say that the man named Thoreau was still a womanizer, he immediately became energetic.
Any gossip story would be inferior if it lacked some glamour, right?
Then listen to what Johnson said.
"Originally, he was trying different ways to make money from me all day long, but I tolerated it. After all, I still understand this truth when people are under the roof."
"But one day when my wife came from Dalong to look for me, she was seen by this guy. From then on, this guy seemed to have changed his appearance. Not only did he no longer find ways to ask me for money, he also He put on that air of being superior to others, but instead he warmly called me brother and sister as soon as he saw me. And this incident happened after he met my wife. To say that these two things have nothing to do with each other, Even if I die, I won't believe it. As a businessman, I still have confidence in my judgment."
"so?"
"So." Johnson smiled bitterly, "What else can we do?"
"Wait a minute!" Hearing this, Li Yi shouted and interrupted him, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"You shouldn't give your wife to him, right?"
Hearing this, Johnson was stunned for a long time before he reacted. As soon as he reacted, he looked at Li Yi with a very strange look.
"What are you talking about? How could I do such a thing? Although I am just an ordinary businessman and can neither afford to offend powerful people nor have any abilities, how can I not do anything to my own wife? Maybe they were given away as merchandise."
"And then?"
Li Yi suddenly transformed into a melon-eater who likes to watch the excitement and listen to gossip. Even he himself didn't know why he had such a reaction.
Perhaps it is human nature to like to watch the excitement.
"Then?"
Seeing Li Yi's excited look, Johnson looked like he wanted to get angry but didn't dare, but finally continued.
"If I can't afford to offend him, why can't I hide? As long as he is still there, this business will not be able to continue anyway, so I chose to leave. On the same day, I sold some of the more important items and opened the shop. After subletting, I packed my things and got ready to leave.”
Hearing this, even Li Yi couldn't help but admire the fat man in front of him.
A man can do whatever it takes to protect the one he loves. This alone is a rare quality.
But Li Yi also knew that if the matter ended like this, there would be a high probability that the fat man in front of him would be the only one left.
Sure enough, Johnson continued.
"But when I packed everything up and was about to go find my wife, what happened made me wish that none of this had ever happened."
Because he only rented a courtyard here as a temporary residence, Johnson, who loved his wife deeply, was afraid that his wife would be wronged, so he did not choose to let her live in the house he rented, but rented a hotel room. The best room is for my wife.
But just as he was heading to the hotel, he wanted to pick up his beloved woman and leave.
When he opened the door, the scene before him made him feel that all the sacrifices he had made were in vain, and he instantly felt like he could graze directly above his head.
More importantly, when he saw the naked man's face clearly, he couldn't believe his eyes.
"It's actually you?"
"Oh my friend, what expression are you making? Isn't it me?"
Julian Thoreau!
The name that had been like a nightmare to him since he came here actually appeared here!
This was something Johnson never dreamed of.
"Then what? What did you do?"
Although Johnson's narration was a bit surprising, it seemed so reasonable.
Well, especially when you see Johnson's appearance, you can probably guess this result.
"As soon as I got up, I just picked up the thing next to me and smashed it. To be honest, I had no other thoughts at the time except to vent. When I found out that I was holding a knife, I wanted to regret it. It’s really too late.”
"So? You killed him? You're actually a wanted criminal now?"
"Hey! If this is really the case, even if it puts me in jail, I will admit it, as long as I can teach that bastard a lesson!"
Speaking of this, Johnson, who was originally very emotional, suddenly became gloomy for some unknown reason.
This immediately made Li Yi aware of new changes in the development of the story.
"what happened again?"
"Actually, it's nothing. You can think of it if you think about it a little."
"oh?"
"Do you know the scope of the Holy See's influence in the Empire of Storms?"
Li Yi shook his head and expressed that he was not sure. Apart from Stam, the only people he knew about the Holy See were Anduin and Arthas. Other than that, he only had the impression that the Holy See was powerful.
"Haha, I don't know who you are... You know, on this continent, although humans are the strongest alliance of forces, among the seven major kingdoms of humans, at least five kingdoms are under the influence of the Holy See. It has been infiltrated, but the five major countries are helpless, do you know the reason?"
"That's not easy. Although you may be able to defeat it, it is very likely that the gain will not be worth the loss. After all, the Holy See is like a tarsal maggot. Even if you can destroy the Holy See, you will be severely damaged. And on this continent, A severe loss of vitality is actually no different from destroying a country."
"This is just one of the reasons, and a more important reason is that if a war really breaks out between the Seven Kingdoms and the Holy See, apart from anything else, in terms of high-end combat power, in addition to the Empire of Storms, there may be other All countries will be crushed to death without any suspense, don’t you know this?”
"Why do you say that?" Li Yi was confused.
He really didn't know what the relationship was between the two. Even if the other countries were not as powerful as the Storm Empire, they wouldn't be much different, right?
Unexpectedly, Johnson shook his head directly.
"I don't know about this. Anyway, this is what is said in the market, and various signs indicate that it is very likely to be true. But this is not what I want to say. What I want to say is, in addition to high-end combat power, In addition, the heads of branches of the Holy See are not ordinary people."
"Even if the other party seems to be just a lustful person who is greedy for money, that is not something ordinary people can handle."
When the knife in his hand stabbed Julian Thoreau fiercely, and the opponent had no defense at all and faced Johnson's knife tip with his bare muscles, Johnson already regretted his impulsiveness.
However, in the next second, his regret disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by shock.
And the excruciating pain that followed.
"ah!"
The moment Johnson screamed in uncontrollable pain.
The moment Julian Thoreau put on his clothes and walked out with his arms around the woman.
Johnson's heart seemed to suddenly dim at that moment.
In other words, from that moment on, the heart that originally held ideals and longings has died.
Maybe even he didn't realize that he was still an emotional person.
"What's going on?" Johnson didn't say anything to himself for a long time, and Li Yi couldn't help but ask.
It's not a good habit to tell a story halfway through.
Will be scolded.
"Oh, it's nothing. It's just that I stabbed him with a knife. It turned out that the bastard's muscles were harder than the knife. The knife didn't hurt him at all. Instead, it jumped my hand. Then, I was hit by the bastard. The kick flew away."
When he said these words, Johnson looked unusually calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
However, Li Yi noticed from under the calm volcano's face that an active volcano was gathering strength and waiting for the right time to erupt.
"So you met the Advent Army next?" Li Yixin said, after nagging for so long, he finally got to the point.
Johnson glanced at him and nodded silently.
"To be honest, I didn't expect that I would still be alive. If that person hadn't fallen from the sky, I would most likely have met my parents directly."
Li Yi nodded. Attacking an important member of the Holy See was a serious crime of beheading. Johnson must be alive because of some adventure.
