Chapter Seventy-Four: Confrontation

When Hugo returned to Maugham's watch shop, there was a sign at the gate that it was closed, but it was still brightly lit.

When Hugo was about to push the door in, he suddenly found a little boy squatting not far from the door, seriously playing with the game handheld in his hand.

This boy is none other than Xiaojie of the Manga Research Club.

Seeing this, Hugo turned around and walked to Xiaojie's side and said, "What are you doing here?"

Xiaojie didn't look up, but said lightly: "Wait for you." ”

Hugo smiled bitterly and said, "Wait for me, you don't think I won't find my way back, do you?" ”

Xiao Jie continued to bow his head and said, "Sakura said that the form of the ninth district is too complicated, and men can easily get lost. ”

Hugo smiled bitterly and said, "That guy is too underestimated, isn't she, isn't she afraid that you will get lost in this world of flowers?"

Xiaojie raised his head, looked at Hugo very seriously and said, "No, because I'm still a child." ”

Hugo laughed again when he heard this, although what Xiaojie said was right, but it was still quite strange for him to say it in such a precocious tone.

Xiaojie continued: "And I prefer games to girls. ”

Hugo: ...

After a long time, Hugo smiled bitterly and reached out to rub the top of Xiaojie's head and said, "You can't look like this, it's really easy to become a waste person when you grow up." ”

Xiaojie said: "Being immersed in the so-called feelings at a young age is a wasted person." ”

Hugo: ...

Let a boy who seems to be only a primary school student "teach", Hugo also had nothing to say, so he had to laugh and say: "Let's go in." ”

Maybe it's because he has been with Hugo for a long time, Xiaojie's attitude towards Hugo is not as cold as before, even if his hair is rubbed, there is no emotional change, and now when he hears Hugo's words, he is also very obedient and takes the lead in the watch shop.

At this moment, Maugham's watch shop is very quiet, but it is more lively than usual.

In addition to Maugham and the previous waitress, Sakura and Thangka also sat on the guest chairs of the watch shop.

At this time, Maugham had a calm expression on his face, and he was sitting in his place with his eyes closed, and he did not see a trace of shame and fear of being caught betraying the organization.

After hearing someone enter, Maugham slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw Hugo's silver hair, a trace of indignation flashed in his usually capable eyes.

"Suppose your Excellency is a pulsatilla?" Maugham asked first.

Hugo nodded silently.

Seeing this, Maugham snorted coldly and said, "In this way, it is also Your Excellency who reported me as a traitor in the family." ”

Hugo continued to nod.

"Nonsense!" Maugham's gentlemanly face showed incomparable anger, and his face also appeared a dull red.

Hugo turned his head sideways to look at Sakura, his eyes full of inquiry.

He didn't admit it. Sakura said indifferently, apparently Maugham didn't give in as easily as he thought.

"Hehe, don't cry when you don't see the coffin. Hugo sneered.

"The man caught it. Sakura asked.

Hugo shook his head and said, "For some reason, let him go." ”

Hearing this, Thangka frowned and said angrily: "What's the matter, you can't do this little thing? ”

Hugo said indifferently: "Don't worry, everything will be considered in the long run." ”

Thangka touched a soft nail and was about to lose his temper, but was stopped by Sakura's eyes on the side.

Maugham was hung on one side by the three, and his heart was even more angry, but from his conversation, Maugham noticed that Hugo did not seem to arrest the person sent by Glass, and even if he caught that person, it would not matter, after all, the real behind-the-scenes contact Glass was not exposed.

Thinking of this, Maugham's waist straightened up a few points.

"You and I don't know each other, I don't know how you got to know me, but why do you want to call me a traitor? I know that you have close ties with the organization, and you are a very important person around the leader, but this is still not a reason for you to do anything wrong!"

Maugham said impassionedly.

Hugo looked at Maugham's "angry" appearance, and only felt that it was a pity that the other party did not become an actor.

Hugo said indifferently: "Although I am a blasphemous, I do not have the power of a prophet. I learned your identity from the mouth of an enemy. ”

Maugham was stunned for a moment and sneered: "Funny, can you believe what the enemy says?"

Hugo said: "Sometimes your enemies will not lie to you, at least I respect them more than moles." ”

Maugham's face changed, and he finally sneered: "What's the difference between an enemy who tells the inside story and a traitor?"

Hugo said: "There is a lot of complexity behind the scenes, but that is an enemy I respect, and that is what he said before he died, there is really no need to lie." ”

Maugham turned to look at Sakura and Thangka and said, "You suspect me from such flawed words? It's ridiculous. ”

Sakura spoke, "We trust him more than you. ”

Sakura's words made the atmosphere in the room change suddenly, and there was some condensation in an instant, even Hugo's words were unexpected.

Maugham's face changed to the color of a pig's liver.

After a long time, he said in a deep voice: "Okay, good, good, in that case, why do you have to say anything more? You can unconditionally trust an outsider who does not belong to the family, but suspect me, a person who has been loyal to the organization family for several years... I... I'm going to quit the Manga Society!"

Sakura said, "Mankensha has been a free organization since its inception, and the leader has said that entry and exit are personal freedoms, and there are no restrictions. After a pause, Sakura said, "But there is one kind of person who is not in this range, and that is a traitor!"

Maugham was even more furious when he heard this, and was about to burst out in anger when Hugo suddenly interjected: "Mr. Maugham, since this matter only involves the two of us today, I think it is better for you and me to negotiate face to face." ”

Maugham turned his head and glared at Hugo and said coldly: "Today's matter is not only about you and me, as an old member of the family, I can say that I joined the Comic Research Club at the beginning of its establishment, and now I am accused of being a traitor and colluding with TAROT, which can't help but make me feel angry and chill." ”

A faint smile appeared on Hugo's face and said, "Mr. Maugham, the matter has not yet come to light, let's not go to the coffin for now." ”

"It's not false that you are an old man in the Manga Society, but the qualifications of the past should not be lower than yours, and you know what happened after that. ”

"Furthermore, no one has ever said that you colluded with TAROT, and the person who colluded with TAROT was no, no, and you were not TAROT's eyeliner. ”

Listening to Hugo's extremely confident tone and statement, Maugham's face became a little different.

At this time, Hugo took out the black square box that Maugham had given to Matthew from his coat pocket and said: "The object of my collusion with you is another organization, which is more terrible than TAROT, and its name is Nightingale. ”
