Chapter 174: Value
Tonight Elson was very happy, for he had finally waited for Viscount Stern to give him a vacation for a while, and that he had the opportunity to summon his lover, who had been kept outside, to his own courtyard and prepare for a few days of good leisure.
At this time, he was anxiously about to fall asleep with his bewitching mistress monkey in his arms, but the sudden heavy knock at the door interrupted his good interest, and even though his heart was as uncomfortable as a hundred claws, he did not have to hold back his anger and prepare to see who had disturbed his good deeds.
With a squeak, the door was slammed open by him, and the humble stinky face of the informant who had been released appeared in front of his eyes.
Seeing that it was his own subordinates who came to him, he finally stopped being polite, and opened his mouth to scold: "You bastard, don't you look for someone to see the time? What are you looking for me now?
The informant was also bitter, and there was a bad star waiting for his reply in the tavern, so he could only bite the bullet and say to his angry boss: "The 'cat demon' you asked me to pay attention to came to the tavern tonight and said that he wanted to find you. ”
"She's here so soon?" Hearing that it was the "cat demon" who came to him, Elson was overjoyed, but then confirmed: "Did she say anything?"
"I didn't ...... No, just said I wanted to see you. ”
Hearing this, Elson was a little confused, and felt strange in his heart, it stands to reason that if the "cat demon" assassination is successful, it should be more or less expressed, especially if she cares about her brother so much, she is more likely to explain it to him in advance to facilitate the exchange as soon as possible.
"Your Excellen......cy," the subordinate in front of the door called in a low voice, "I think about it for myself now, that 'cat demon' is really a little strange. ”
"Strange?
"Yes! The subordinates found that her hands were covered with pus-filled wounds and burn marks, and she was dressed in a mess, and she seemed to have not eaten a full meal for a long time. ”
Well?
Elson was shocked, and he had gradually realized that it was estimated that this time the "cat demon" would probably not be able to bring any happy news, and it might even bring trouble, so he lost his interest just now.
After seeing that his master seemed to be told that he didn't want to go to the meeting, the informant who had experienced the feeling of being taught a lesson by the "cat demon" couldn't help but cry out in his heart, and could only persuade again: "My lord, let's go and see, what if she has any other news?"
Elson, who wanted to go back and continue the sleep operation that he hadn't completed just now, groaned for a while, and finally felt that he didn't want to miss any news, not to mention that there was a chance of success, so he slammed the door and returned to his room to change clothes and prepare for departure.
After drinking the ale handed by the waiter for the third time in the tavern, the "cat demon" finally saw a cowering shadow walk in with a gloomy face at the door.
"How's it going? Don't tell me you've failed. ”
This time, Elson had a bottom in his heart, so he sat down directly and unceremoniously in front of her, and asked with a very bad attitude.
The brows under the hood of the "cat demon" furrowed fiercely, in the past, she would definitely let Elson taste what it was like to cut off children and grandchildren, but now at this time, after all, she still has to ask for others, so she can only hold back her anger and say: "I haven't made any progress for the time being......"
"No progress, so what are you coming to me for?"
Hearing the "cat demon" say that she had made no progress, Elson directly interrupted what she wanted to continue, and sneered and mocked, her movements and expressions were becoming more and more presumptuous.
"I ...... Need some ...... Pharmaceuticals. ”
"Medicines?"
Elson was puzzled by her request for a while, but he immediately remembered some of the things that his subordinates had said to him before, and his eyes naturally glanced at the hideous disgusting wounds on the other party's exposed wrists, and his heart instantly understood.
"Did you fail to assassinate?"
The "cat demon" was silent for a while before replying, "Twice." ”
"Failed both times!" Elson exclaimed exaggeratedly, drawing the attention of some of the drinkers, "so what's the use of you assassin?
Under normal circumstances, the easiest time for an assassin to succeed is when he performs an assassination for the first time, and once the opponent has time to be alert and react, the success rate and cost of the assassination begin to become unacceptable, and it can be declared a complete failure.
For example, the cat demon has carried out two assassinations in a row and almost succeeded, which can be regarded as her excellent business ability, but in any case, it is difficult to believe that she can still succeed in the third assassination, and she herself understands this truth.
"All I need is some medicine, and I can assure you that the next one will be the last assassination. ”
If I can't kill him, I'll put my own life on the line!
At this time, the "cat demon" had secretly made up his mind in his heart, and the next assassination must be a complete life-fighting posture, regardless of his own back road and safety, just in exchange for his brother's freedom.
However, the truth was beyond her expectations, and Elson just snorted coldly but did not agree to this very good investment.
"You still want medicine from me?" Elson grinned, "You'd better go back to your gutter and stop bothering me." ”
After saying this, Elson was about to leave the tavern as soon as he pushed his chair, and was caught by the "cat demon" in a hurry.
"What are you doing?
He glared at the owner of the rotten hand with displeasure.
"You really don't want to give me another chance?"
"I'm absolutely sure!"
However, Elson was still forced to press the chair by the "cat demon", and his subordinates only dared to watch from afar, not dare to come up and pull the evil star away.
"Good!"
After taking a deep breath, the "cat demon" changed his tone and said, "I don't expect you to give me medicine, but please let me meet my brother for the sake of my two hard work." ”
Although she knew that if she didn't get good treatment, she would fall into a lot of diseases and even become disabled even if she didn't die, but in the end, she still wanted to ask to see her brother for the last time, which was also her last wish.
At first, Elson, who was pressed in his chair, looked very displeased, but when he heard the "cat demon" request, he began to laugh like he had heard the funniest joke.
The "cat demon" secretly felt bad, and was about to ask when he heard Elson's explanation.
"Do you want to meet your brother?"
His eyes were full of mockery, and with an indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth, he suddenly said leisurely: "You don't have a brother anymore......"
