Jason looked at Gerald.

With persistence in his eyes.

In the same way, Gerrard insisted on his own ideas.

However, the only difference is that Gerrard, who knows his own personality very well, knows how to deal with it.

"Denise, Jason gave you the ring."

Gerald shouted, and as soon as Denise turned around, the Ring of Guardian was tossed.

Denice, who was holding the snail, was a little scrambling.

I hurriedly put the snail in my pocket, but the 'Ring of Guardian' was already in front of me, and I would definitely not be able to catch it if I raised my hand at this time.

Suddenly, Denise has a flash of inspiration!

As soon as it opened its mouth, it took the 'Ring of Guardianship' in its mouth.

Then, he wiped his dirty palm and put the ring on the middle finger of his left hand.

"Jason, is it pretty?"

Denise gestured at Jason with her left hand.

Jason frowned.

But before Jason could speak, Denise put his right hand on his left hand and hid his hands behind him.

"What are you going to do?"

"It's mine."

"You are not allowed to rob!"

Denise declares the sovereignty of the Guardian Ring.

Jason's brow furrowed even tighter, but he didn't say anything.

Because, he had just returned the ring to Gerald.

Gerard already has the ownership of the ring, and then transferring the ring to someone else is also Gerald's business, and it has nothing to do with him.

It makes sense.

But in essence?

Jason, who is used to 'bartering', is a little awkward and uncomfortable.

"I owe you."

Jason said.

Looking at his cousin's appearance, Jason couldn't help but laugh.

He was familiar with it.

That's what he did when he was a student at Camp Griffon.

Naturally, he also knew what to do.

"You don't owe me."

"You know, when I first gave the ring to Denise, I 'borrowed' it in your name."

"Seriously, I owe you."

When dealing with a stubborn and stubborn person, don't try to get the other person to follow your philosophy.

Following the other party's philosophy is the best way to deal with it.

"So, I'm going to give you some compensation!"

Gerald laughed as he grabbed Jason's shoulders hard and strode towards the cottage.

Jason looked helpless.

Denise was later admiring the first gift he received in his life, in addition to his parents and brothers.

Very quaint ring.

But it's also beautiful.

In the night, there is a sense of tranquility.

And when Denise came to his senses, Jason and Gerard were already far away.

"Wait for me!"

Denise shouted, and quickly chased after him.

Then, before he could catch up with Jason and Gerald, Denise let out bursts of cheers.

Because he saw the barbecue outside the cottage.

Several chefs were busy in front of the barbecue, and a round table was placed in the middle of the courtyard, filled with fruit.

Dessert is placed on a separate small table, where a pastry chef is making the final preparations.

Denise immediately sped up, and directly overtook Jason and Gerald and rushed into the courtyard, drooling and looking around, first watching the cut pieces of meat of the right size skewered on the chisel and placed on the charcoal fire.

Then, I watched the colorful pastries appear on the plate one by one.

The sound of grease and charcoal fire echoed in my ears.

As a result, the amino acids released when the protein was heated mixed into the smoke, causing Dennis to twitch his nose.

When I couldn't help it, I directly picked up a coconut on the round table.

The coconut has opened and a hollow plant rhizome has been placed.

Denise took a big bite with a habit.

The coconut flavor is rich, sweet and fragrant.

This made Denise even more excited to run back and forth around the table.

Jason and Gerald sat at the round table and waited quietly.

While waiting, Jason informed Gerald of what had happened at 10 Terna Street.

"Raul is a spy?"

For Raul's identity, Gerald was also a little surprised.

It's not that the other party is a spy, but the identity of the other party's spy, which Leader didn't find out.

This can only mean that either Leader has a problem with his ability, or his old friend has already made arrangements.

Lead's ability is no problem.

Over the years, Leader has proven this.

Other words......

That old friend of his had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

"Jason, you know what, the last enemy I want to face is that guy."

"He knows me too well!"

"He'll find my weakness and deliver a fatal blow to me when I'm not aware of it."

"If I had detected him in advance, I would never have let you come to Hans Harbor."

Gerald didn't hide it from his cousin, and was very honest about his worries.

He wanted his cousin to see the situation more clearly.

And, be mentally prepared to accept the back road arranged by him.

Jason didn't ask who the guy was.

The facts are in front of him, and Jason can't think of anyone else who can be Gerald's enemy except for the head of the Federation.

Jason was wary of the Commonwealth's ruler.

The information he learned from Little Lead's mouth and the explosion he experienced personally told Jason that the other party should be the kind of person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

Such a person...... It's hard to wrap around.

but

There should also be weaknesses.

Even with caution!

There should be too!

No, it's just that others don't notice!

Jason squinted, thinking earnestly.

Gerald, on the other hand, shifted his gaze slightly, looking up at the starry sky, and his voice became so soft and low that only Jason could hear it.

"I hope that Jason, after you attend my wedding, will take a boat to the southern Lille Islands, which are far enough from the Federation and safe enough."

"I have left you a manor, four plantations, two shipyards, and a mercenary army there, rest assured, no one will track them down, and the mercenaries are bound by secret arts."

"You're there waiting for news from me."

Gerard's words stopped here.

Didn't go on.

Just look up at the night sky.

Jason sat there silently and watched Gerard.

He could feel that Gerrard didn't have the confidence to defeat his old rival.

Or rather......

The price paid by the victory over the other party, Gerrard was not willing to bear.

What kind of means will an opponent with no bottom line use?

Jason could roughly guess.

Hans Harbour!

Take all the people of Hans Harbour as a bargaining chip!

Then, in every possible way, he forced Gerald into a decisive battle!

Win or lose, destroy Hans Harbor!

What happens to Gerald who loses Hans Harbor?

Angry Gerald will only do one thing!

Find the Governor of the Federation who has masterminded everything, and then kill them.

But at that time, there would be hundreds of artillery pieces gathered around the other side, waiting for Gerald.

What are Gerrard's odds?

Gerald is not immortal, so he naturally knows it in his heart.

Because of this, Gerrard will arrange a back path for him.

But does he need it?

Jason raised his hand and patted Gerard on the shoulder.

In Gerald's surprised gaze, Jason said lightly:

"I'll help you."
