Chapter 63: I feel like my appetite has deteriorated
The interior of the palace, the minister's bedchamber.
The silver-haired Roshan was frantically nibbling on the pieces of meat in front of him, and the leftover plates on the table were stacked several times, but there were still servants serving new meat.
Looking at the frightened eyes of those servants, they were obviously frightened by the gluttonous way of eating the man in front of them.
Although the minister has always behaved very well to eat, today's amount is too exaggerated!
Even a large dangerous species should have been fed a long time ago, so is your belly a grain storage warehouse?
"Hey, did you come to me just to show me how you eat like a pig?"
The female general, who was sitting not far away, finally showed some impatience, she looked at the unappetizing scene in front of her with disgust, and thought that she should not eat dinner today.
Earnest put down the plate in his hand, there were still grease stains on his beard, and he glanced at the female general.
"Oh, Estes...... Anyway, are you there? β
The sudden appearance of the ice edge hit Earnest's throat, and the biting chill instantly pulled the latter back from his absent-minded state, he looked at the female general's eyes like the extreme north Hangang, snorted, and hurriedly smiled: "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm thinking about something, but I didn't expect to snub General Estes, it's really a sin." β
Estes waved his hand to dissipate the ice edge, snorted lightly, and said mockingly: "I can see that you are indeed in a bad state, minister, that old man who suddenly appeared in the imperial capital is really so tricky?" Oh, you should call him the deputy minister now, right? β
At the mention of this, Earnest's fat face suddenly collapsed, and a dark cloud accumulated between his eyebrows and eyes.
"You don't know this person, naturally you don't know how powerful he is, Jolly is an old minister who has served three generations of emperors in succession, counting Rudolph of this generation, he is already a veteran of the four dynasties. When it comes to influence in the court, let alone me, even if the previous generation of emperors is resurrected, we must pay attention to his opinions. β
He took a sip of the hot tea offered by the servant, and let out a long sigh.
"If it weren't for the deep-rooted power in my imperial capital, I might have been forced to abdicate and make way for Xian this time, and let that old guy be a deputy minister, which can be regarded as a step back for each of us."
At this, he gritted his teeth in hatred.
"I've been in trouble since Javier's bastard came, is he really my nemesis? It's all because of this bastard kid that my appetite has deteriorated these days! β
Estes glanced at the mountain of plates on the table, and after thinking about it, he decided that it would be better not to complain about it.
"I'm not here to listen to your complaints, just say what you have to say."
Earnest understands Estes' straightforward nature, so he doesn't continue to beat around the bush.
He coughed lightly twice, and finally got down to business: "Now Jolly and Javier are eyeing me, but I won't tell you that my recent situation is not good, not to mention the decline in my voice in the imperial court, and even the imperial assassination force that I have cultivated single-handedly has suffered heavy losses in the last assassination operation...... Javier, although young, is undoubtedly a formidable opponent, and if you want to kill him, you can't be 100% sure, so I need time now! Plenty of time! β
Estes glanced at him, but he didn't know what he thought, the corners of his mouth curved slightly upward, and he said with deep meaning: "It seems that you have secretly prepared a lot of backhands over the years, is the current situation also in your expectations...... So, what is the need for me to do? β
Seeing that the female general didn't mean to explore, then Earnest naturally didn't say anything, he smiled gloomily, and said word by word: "It's very simple, help me contain him, no matter what method is used, divert his attention, so that he can't take care of my side for the time being!" β
Hearing this, Estes lowered the brim of her beret, and Earnest couldn't see her expression, but he could clearly catch the happy smile on the corner of her mouth, and he knew that there was something to be done.
The minister's meaning is very simple, it is just to let Estes go to Javier to find trouble, this kind of task is in every sense of the way the female general's wishes, and it is no wonder that she is happy.
"I understand, it's up to me to plan the action, but ...... Because of Niou's death, my side is a little understaffed. β
Due to the lack of information from the minister in the last mission, Estes miscalculated the strength of the enemy and the enemy, which indirectly led to Niou's death, so it is natural to ask for manpower at this time.
Ernest was silent for a while, and then immediately made a decisive decision: "I can transfer two imperial envoys to your account, there is absolutely no problem in terms of strength, it can be regarded as atonement for the death of one of your subordinates." β
"Two Emperor Gu envoys...... Enough is enough. β
Estes nodded, got up and left his seat, and without informing Earnest, walked out of the hall without looking back.
"Just hurry up and get ready for the battle, which will give you confidence enough to deal with Javier's hole cards...... I'm very interested, just don't let me down. β
With a joking chuckle, the tall figure of ice blue faded away.
Ernest watched Estes disappear into obscurity, picked up the piece of meat on the plate again and devoured it, compared to the previous appearance, his eyes were now more gloomy, and the action of tearing the piece of meat was like gnawing on the flesh of the enemy.
Touching his gaze, the servants around him became more and more trembling, and they naturally knew that this was the state whenever this man wanted to kill someone.
In those cold and cruel eyes, there were no normal human feelings, only blood and fire, violence and death.
He, Ernest Atwood, is the giant in the darkness! A veritable ruler of the imperial capital!
ββ¦β¦ There should also be news from the fashion side, giving him so much money and test subjects, if this can't come to fruition, it can only mean that he is a waste. β
"And waste, especially waste that is useless to me, has no value in existence!"
A cruel and cold voice, without any frivolous elements, is the true side of Ornest.
He was too good at disguise, whether it was in front of the first emperor and the former minister Joli, or in front of the little emperor Rudolph, or in front of the ministers, he wore a thick mask, so that it almost became an instinct in front of people.
Even Javier, his old rival, didn't think he saw through him.
Because I can't see through, I take every step of the way, so I keep trying.
This man named Ornest, the man who is equivalent to the embodiment of desire, deserves such caution as Javier.
"Now it's time to gamble, Javier Salmondo, you hairy boy, you've done so many things openly and secretly, do you really think you can take me down like this? Hum hum hum ......"
With an incomparably deep malice, Earnest didn't know what he was recalling, and then laughed out loud.
"It's so naΓ―ve, as naΓ―ve as your father, so your end is already doomed...... Your bastard father died at my hands, and so will you, only to the same end! β
