Jerome's eyes widened, and until now, he couldn't believe that he had been betrayed by President Levi. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The man in front of him was pot-bellied, wearing a silk robe and holding a red wine glass in his hand, looking at Jerome with the eyes of a dead man.

"Your father was a good man, but too stupid. ”

President Levi said disdainfully, taking a sip of red wine and looking at Jerome again, who had been suppressed.

Davos stood near the door, holding the sword in his hand, his original drunken posture was long gone, but he was helpless in the face of the two swordsmen who held Jerome hostage, the other party's strength was not bad, even if he could kill one of them, the other would kill Jerome in the blink of an eye.

"I thought you still had a little conscience. ”

Jerome said through gritted teeth.

He followed the butler into the room, and after a few words of conversation with President Levi, he was restrained by the guards on either side, while Davos was forced back after a few moves, creating the current stalemate.

"I'm a businessman, and if I can't make the most profit, then my conscience is just empty talk. ”

President Levi put down his glass, stood up, and kicked Jerome in the stomach, causing the boy to bend in pain.

"Times have changed, Jerome, I originally sent you out of the shallow sea for your father's sake, to leave a seed for the Faramor family, and as long as you don't come back in this life, then no one will care about your life or death. ”

He stomped on Jerome's face, his tone calm, the opposite of the dangerous aura in his words.

"I didn't expect you to be so stupid, you know, as long as you are in the shallow sea, the people of the Council of Elders have ten thousand ways to make you die without a place to be buried. ”

"You're going to pay the price, Levi!"

Jerome said as he struggled with blood gushing from his mouth.

"No one will come to your rescue, the boys of the Olihara family have been trying to make waves for a few years, and as for the two guards you brought, they must have been shot into a sieve by the crossbow arrows by now. ”

As soon as Levi finished speaking, he heard a loud noise, and the clear sound of bones breaking came from the next room, which made everyone's hearts sink.

"Look, I've hired an Assassin at great expense, and I haven't missed a single shot in years. ”

"Really?"

From outside the room, a rhetorical question was heard.

"Who?"

Levi became a little nervous, took two steps back, and watched as a man slowly emerged from the door, still holding a head in his hand.

It's Lawson.

Bang -

He threw the head and landed straight into the food on the table, the Assassin's wide-eyed expression of horror.

"How could it be !??"

Levi felt a chill rise up, that assassin was a powerhouse at the peak level of black iron, and in this shallow sea it was enough to deal with most situations, the swordsman in front of him could actually defeat him in such a short time, could it still be a bronze step?

He glanced at Jerome again, wondering where this kid had found such a strong guy, and secretly touched the talisman in his pocket.

This is a talisman that can teleport short distances in times of crisis, and it is treasured by Levi as a means of saving his life, and although it makes him very distressed to use it at the moment, it is not a small cost compared to his own life.

"Jerome, it looks like you're prepared. ”

Levi leaned his back against the wall, and the two swordsmen who held Jerome hostage also felt Rosen's horror, and sweat oozed from his forehead.

"Stop this guy for me!"

Levi gave the order, and while the two swordsmen struck, he tightly squeezed the talisman and silently activated the incantation.

But to his surprise, the surrounding scenery did not change at all, he was still in the room, neither Jerome nor Rosen nor Davos had changed, the only difference was that the two swordsmen were already in different places.

"Huh?"

With a soft sigh, Levi drove the amulet again, but it still didn't change, and he was almost beginning to wonder if he had bought a fake.

"Don't bother with it, it's not too easy to parse a magic item of that level. ”

It was the dark-haired girl who emerged from behind Lawson who spoke, her golden eyes shining dizzyingly.

With a simple wave of her hand, the talisman in Levi's hand quickly lost its luster and turned into an ordinary mortal object, with no special abilities.

"Mage, two bronze !?"

Levi realized at this time that he was really in trouble, his legs trembling, his heart racing, and he looked at Jerome.

"Jerome, I didn't expect you to get the help of so many strong people, it seems that the recovery of Istar is just around the corner, listen to me, I was pretending before, after all, the Senate Council has many eyes and ears, I can't ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, Lawson had already kicked him, causing Levi to fly and crash into the wall, smashing into a shallow crater.

"Levi, did my father's death have anything to do with you? ”

Jerome had already figured out a lot by this time, he questioned, with only angry flames in his eyes.

“...... I was also forced to be helpless. ”

Levi wanted to beg for mercy, but Jerome had already picked up the long sword on the ground and stabbed the man in the chest.

"Go and beg my father for mercy. ”

Jerome closed his eyes slightly.

"I thought he could be trusted, but I didn't expect this to happen, you should have known about it a long time ago, right? ”

He glanced at Levi again, who was lying on the ground.

"I just wanted to teach you a lesson, that's that as a ruler, you shouldn't trust anyone. ”

Tia said lightly, looking at the corpse on the ground and frowning.

"Good, I see. ”

Jerome smiled helplessly, and continued.

"The assistance of the Istar Chamber of Commerce seems to be out of order, and we can only seek the help of the Iron Wolf Guard. ”

"How do you know that the Iron Wolf Guards won't betray you like this guy?"

Rosen asked, mentioning the Iron Wolf Guard, remembering that the other party seemed to owe him a favor.

"Captain Allen of the Iron Wolf Guard has been suspended for many years, and he has no affection for the Senate Council, and my father once saved his life, for which he made a blood vow to protect the Faramor family until death. ”

Jerome replied, but the expression on his face didn't seem any lighter.

"Of course, we also have to use some means to tempt and even force him to have to sit in the same boat as us. ”

"Reasonable. ”

Tia looked at Jerome with appreciation, the young man seemed to have matured a lot after this incident, and there was a bit more sharp look in his eyes.

"In that case, I have a proposal. ”

On a whim, Lawson decided to make good use of his favors.
