Chapter 43: Willing to be a pawn
The neck was tightly choked, and the traveling merchant Camille didn't seem to feel any surprise, just tried to squeeze out a smile.
He knew that even if he was a good person, after all, this young man he fancied, or the young man who saved him, was a natural leader. Such people can be thunderous and angry, and they can also perceive the calculations of others, and it is they who need to choose whether they are calculating or seeing them as naughty pranks.
Looking at the angry face now, Camille probably guessed what the kid was thinking.
Waving his hand vigorously, signaling the Demon King to quickly put himself down, Camille was ready to calm his emotions first, and then tell him his plan directly.
"I hope you can make everything clear, or elseโ"
As soon as the hand was released, the fat body fell to the ground, and it took a long time to stand up.
"Ahem, ahem!" Coughing a few times, Camille thought that the first thing he had to solve was a major misunderstanding, which was also the main reason for his experience of "trapeze" just now.
"First of all, I have to tell you that I didn't report your matter to Old Joe, and it won't do me any good."
Of course, few would accept such a statement, and Camille did not expect to convince an angry king.
"First of all, I want to introduce myself, I am Edward Camille, the traitor and first butler of the Brotherhood of Bitter Springs."
"What?" The current situation is a hell mode for Liu Xinming's rusty brain, and he now feels that there must be smoke billowing above his head, what is this?!
"Wait!" It was as if it had come back to light, and in the chaotic memories of these three months, a little useful thing had been rummaged through
"Who are you Brotherhood boss Eduard Kaljanko?"
Camille's eyes dimmed, "That's my father, who has been dead for more than a year now, maybe the news here is closed and hasn't come yet." โ
"Then why don't you go back and inherit it? Didn't you inherit it? Still calculating me here?! โ
His face was getting worse and worse, and Camille's nails stabbed into his clenched palms, almost gritting his teeth.
"My father was killed, by the current Great Khan, and I pretended to echo him for revenge, and I could even say that I betrayed him."
"I burned my old house to ashes and fled Vulture City with my belongings, and I knew that Bahad's sinister bastard couldn't really let me go, so I fled to Old Joe, whom Bahad feared the most."
"Originally, I tried to try my best to win over Anderson's dead brain, wanting him to be my pawn. I didn't expect it - alas! โ
Sighing, Camille took out a long, slender cigarette from his delicate pocket, and the plan to disguise himself as a wandering merchant who never smoked was over, so he naturally did not need to restrain his addiction to smoking.
"Unexpectedly, he was too hurt by the betrayal of the orphan he adopted, and he refused to do anything, and finally, just as I was about to make a move on Kaba, you came."
"So what? That's why you've done so much to me?! โ
The feeling of being treated as a chess piece, or the feeling of being treated as a fool, Liu Xinming has had enough in his last life. His anger was almost unquenchable at the moment, and he even had an urge to kill this elegant smoking bastard.
"No, to be precise, you made me change my mind, you are an angel who saved us all, so I gave up, I don't think there's anything wrong with making you the king of this place." Taking a puff of his cigarette, Camille didn't feel the murderous aura that was close at hand, but he didn't care, and he didn't believe that this man who was desperately trying to reach a coma for the sake of people he didn't know would do this.
The Demon King was just stunned, his eyes no longer blinking, this turn had completely exceeded his processing power, and his brain froze.
"Old Joe's people rushing into the slums was the only surprise of my plan, I didn't expect that the dead fat man who received the money had no backbone at all, and he couldn't stand this intimidation, so he recruited Jack to sell your armor at once."
"You know what happened after that, the only thing I'm sorry for you is that bastard cut off one of Old Jack's hands, and I didn't tell you everything in time because you were in the store.
"I'll admit it, I just wanted you to get angry and go to Old Joe for revenge, and then carry out my plan."
"But I didn't expect that the dead pervert didn't know why he captured that little girl, Old Qiao has always not hurt the child, which is his last bit of conscience."
Pretending to spread his hands, Camille's face showed a deep helplessness.
"The rest is my time, I helped you overcome all obstacles along the way, but I didn't expect your popularity to be so high, that my original plan was completely ruined, because you had convinced me too."
"So, what do you want me to do in Vulture City?" For things he can't figure out, Liu Xinming has a very good solution - since the result is good, just don't think about it for now. With the blessing of this set of Ah Q spirit, Liu Xinming had the highest sleep quality in the entire unit when he was still a social animal, although it was during working hours...
Now, he has only one question left, whether this Camille has deceived himself or wants to help himself, then what is the purpose of his efforts to lead himself to Vulture City?
Knowing this, Liu Xinming felt that there were many things that could be straightened out.
"Alasโโ!" Raising his hand to extinguish the cigarette butt, Camille struggled to stand up straight, bent by the fat and bent spine, staring at the demon king's aqua-blue eyes that gradually regained their calmness.
"It's very simple, I want you to be king, but I also need your strength, I want revenge!"
"Avenge your father?"
"That's right!" In the small eyes, the gaze became more and more determined, and even the usual lazy and casual tone seemed to become serious.
"I was going to borrow the territory of the Immortal City to fulfill my ambitions, but now that I have decided to leave this place to you, I have a better idea, kill that Bahad in one fell swoop, and also buy a precious period of development for the City of Redemption during this time."
"What do you meanโ"
"That's right! I will replace Bahad as the Great Khan, and then in front of Karn and Weznan will give you this land that belongs to the Brotherhood and was stolen by Old Joe, so that these refugees and newly freed workers can live here until I die, and the city will be truly [redeemed]!" โ
Looking at the old Jack and them who finally began to try to understand each other in the tent in the distance, and then looked at the RV where Celia was asleep, Liu Xinming hesitated for a long time, he didn't want to be used as a pawn, but he was such a stupid child who wanted to give everyone happiness.
Gritting his teeth, in Camille's joyful gaze, the Demon King nodded slightly.
"Okay, what do I do?"
