After all, Marguerite selectively ignored Eugen's ugly appearance, and asked in a strong and sharp tone: "Count Eugen, are you dissatisfied with our family's position in Italy?" ”

If this is a dialogue between two large empires, then such an opening statement is basically the beginning of a war.

Eugen put down the kebab burrito and took the wine and glass from the ground in his hands at the same time. With this action, he hid his shocked expression.

Hearing Margaret's undisguised questioning, Eugen had realized what the other party was referring to, that is, some of Rambo's activities to stop the Black Death.

"Just a few days ago, one of your retainers came to Sicily, Italy, by sea. Once there, he made contact with the mafia, a notorious street gangster group, and launched a series of activities. After saying this, Margaret folded her hands in front of her chest, squinted her eyes slightly and looked at Eugen, and asked, "Count, I don't know if what I said is true. ”

In the first half of Margaret's words, Eugen knew very well, but he didn't know the part about the mafia in the second half of the sentence. Those are supposed to be things that Rambo has done in recent days, and the letter that Rambo reported to him has not yet arrived.

Eugen did not order Rambo to go to the mafia before, he only told Rambo that he could use all his power to achieve his goal. This way of doing things was causing him trouble, because the mafia was an underground organization, one of the most hated by the local Italian aristocracy.

Rambo is a retainer of Eugen, and his cooperation with the Mafia is equivalent to Eugen's cooperation with the Mafia, which is not tolerated by the entire aristocratic world. If the Medici family got to the bottom of it, Eugen would be ruined. He still underestimated the power of the aristocratic family of this era, and this underestimation would also make him pay a huge price.

Despite the panic in his heart, Eugen was calm and composed on the surface. After filling the two glasses with wine, he handed one of the glasses to Margaret.

"That's right, the retainer you're talking about is called Rambo, and everything he does is at my behest." Eugen admitted it without changing his face, as if everything was taken for granted.

Margaret was a little disgusted, but she still took the glass from Eugen. Hearing Eugen's direct admission, a smile appeared on her face, and then she asked, "So, can you ask Count Eugen to explain why you didn't let your retainers come to us, but found those shameless bandits?" ”

Eugen had a wry smile on his face, picked up the wine glass and took a sip on it, and then said: "I didn't tell you in advance about this matter, it was my negligence, and I apologize." But I can assure you that we have absolutely no ill will, just pure goodwill. ”

He really couldn't explain it, the Black Death hadn't broken out yet, and what hadn't happened wasn't a reason. Therefore, they can only try to seek the understanding of the Medici family, or at least to calm their anger first.

Margaret did not accept Eugen's apology, and still said in a cold voice: "Hehe, the existence of those bandits themselves is a great malice to our family, and we can't accept any contact between you and them. Count Eugen, are you fools who can be fooled as we please? ”

Looking at the aggressive Margaret in front of him, Eugen was almost depressed. Only then did he realize that although this woman was very beautiful, she was not a vase, but a strong opponent.

When talking to such a person, he can't take it lightly, and he has to take every opportunity to do it. Now that I think about it, people obviously had a good impression of him before, but he was tossed around and had a very bad relationship. Well, now that the retribution is coming soon, Eugen will immediately start kneeling and licking, and it will be too late.

Seeing that Eugen didn't react, Margaret simply spread her right hand and said, "Count Eugen, I officially warn you on behalf of the Medici family. You must immediately make your man stop all contact with those bandits, accept our investigation and tell us everything he knows, and leave Italy forever and never return! Otherwise, you will be hostile from the Medici! ”

Seeing that he was about to tear his face, Eugen hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "Don't mind, let's talk about it, let's talk about it for a while." ”

Margaret was unmoved, still looking at Eugen coldly. But she was actually very happy, and kept saying: Let you look down on the old lady, and give you a little bit to see who the boss is.

Evacuation from Italy was of course impossible for Eugen, and he did not know what was going on with Rambo. For the sake of the overall situation, he had to use his special skill again: blind machine domineering. The specific meaning is: close your eyes and look for opportunities, domineering and unreasonable nonsense.

"Actually." Saying this word, Eugen suddenly put on a mysterious and lofty look: "In fact, our activities in Italy have extremely important mission objectives. ”

Margaret thought that she had completely defeated this Count Eugen, but now looking at Eugen's performance, she suddenly felt as if something was gradually getting out of her control.

As he spoke, Eugen suddenly let out a long sigh and drank the wine from his glass. Then he poured himself a drink and said slowly: "Alas, this matter should not have been known to you, it is a top-secret matter, and even if it is a message, it must be transmitted by a blind carrier pigeon. When outsiders learn about this, there will be endless calamities. ”

Regardless of the content of his nonsense, at least on the surface, Eugen's performance can be called impeccable. If this is put aside in the 21st century, the Oscar statuette is simply in the bag.

Margaret is also a character who is used to seeing big scenes, so naturally it is impossible to be deceived by him with three eyes. However, she was also very polite and did not interrupt Eugen's words, but just watched quietly to see what Eugen said.

Eugen pondered for a moment, then suddenly stepped twenty centimeters in front of Margaret, stared into her eyes and asked, "I'll ask again, do you really want to know this secret?" If you regret it, now I can pass with one eye and one eye closed as if nothing happened. ”

Margaret was first startled by Eugen's sudden movements, angry and a little amused at the same time. She didn't care about Eugen's pretense, but still said with a straight face: "You'd better be clear, now we're asking you to blame." If there is any secret, you can just say it, the Medici family has the strength to face everything. ”
