Chapter 1415: The Battle of the Latent Teeth (31)

"You're his illegitimate son?!" Juliet said with an incredulous expression.

"Well, so it's common for a man to have three wives and four concubines," Segrade said hesitantly, pretending to be unspeakable, but in fact he was making excuses for himself to buy time: "That's it, anyway." In addition to having a home in his own village, my father, Uncle Palamides, also had another home in the city of Athens, which was my mother's home and meow. Although my mom is just Uncle Palamides' mistress Meow. ＂

"Oh my God. Juliet immediately looked at Segrade with disdain, but she quickly put away her look and asked calmly with her usual look, "So, did Sir Palamides have a relationship with your mother before he met Lady Vivien?

"No, Mom was no longer alive at that time. Segrade tried to finish the story, both to exonerate himself and to try not to tarnish his father's image – too much as possible.

Juliet cupped her cheeks and thought, "Really." In other words, Lady Vivien was still Sir Paramidis's only consort at the time, well, so it was acceptable. ＂

Segrade didn't understand what the girl in front of her was worn. What a strange idea a woman has.

"Does anyone but your father Palamedis know about this?" asked Juliet, "your [brothers], namely Zhalfir and Mr. Segrade, do they know that you are the illegitimate son of Sir Paramidis?"

Segrade shook his head with all his might: "They don't know meow." Originally, the only people in the world who knew about this were me and my dad, please don't say it. ＂

"So Sir Palamedis knew you were his son, but said nothing, and ignored you after your mother's death, and left you alone in Athens?and now he has a family of his own, and three sons, and such a good wife, and he doesn't care whether you live or die, and even secretly goes on a date with his lover behind his back? ＂

Segrade couldn't laugh or cry. I didn't expect that the lies he was making up would be misinterpreted and extended to such a point by Juliet. The girl's ability to associate is simply terrifying. What should I do, things have been darkened by him, and if he continues like this, his set of lies will only make Juliet's impression of Palamides worse and worse.

"It's very complicated. Uncle Palamides also had a poor relationship with the Gric, and the patriarch of the Gryk clan had also issued a restraining order to Uncle Palamides to allow him to enter Athens. And I was also raised as a hostage, so Uncle Palamides had to work for the orc army. Although the war between the orcs and humans is now over and the restrictions have been lifted, our position still does not allow Uncle Palamides to publicly admit that I am his son Meow Anyway, I beg you, big sister, don't delve into this anymore, okay Meow?"

Juliet looked at the leopard boy suspiciously, and was stunned for a few seconds before replying, "Okay." ＂

Segrade breathed a sigh of relief. Once again, he was complacent about his wit.

"Oh, little Harris. Juliet suddenly opened her arms and gave the leopard boy a hug without warning.

"Uh, big sister, what are you doing?!" Segrad couldn't help but blush.

"Big sister doesn't know what you've been through all these years, but it's really hard for you to encounter so many misfortunes. But be strong. You have survived these most difficult years alone, and everything will be okay from now on, everything will be. ＂

This sentence stung Segrade deeply. The leopard man boy muttered in a low voice, "No, you don't understand meow. It doesn't get better at all. Mom is no longer in this world, and Dad will only go to get along with one woman after another, and he doesn't care about us at all. What [everything will be better after this]? No! Not at all!"

He broke free of Juliet's embrace: "I want to be alone and quiet, don't follow me anymore." ＂

The leopard boy turned around and rushed out of the store.

"Wait, little Harris, wait——!" Juliet hurriedly chased after her. But the leopard man is a leopard man after all, and Segrade ran very fast, and the moment Juliet chased out of the store, the leopard man boy was gone.

"Miss, has your little slave escaped?" the owner of the clothing store even walked over and asked, "Do you want to go to the police? Notify the Slave Administration in Cairo, and it will be easy to get that little ghost back-"

"Shut up!, he's not my slave!!" Juliet yelled. However, while she was entangled with the shopkeeper, Segrade also ran farther, and there was no trace of it.

At the same time, there is also a group of ill-intentioned trackers, quietly watching everything in the shadows of the street corners.

Palamides and Rosetta, who had left the shop for some distance, had entered another large shopping mall.

"I'm a little tired, let's take a break. The Queen of Jewels sat down on a bench at the musical fountain in the middle of the mall: "It was really thrilling. ＂

"Thrilling?" the leopard warrior pretended not to understand, and asked, "Is there anything thrilling?"

"Oh, don't pretend, I know you're aware of that, too. There were two people hiding in the fitting room of that clothing store. ＂

"However, the people inside never rushed out to attack us, and they did not continue to follow us. Palamides continued to probe tentatively, "So, this shouldn't be too much of a problem, right? Maybe they're not stalking or trying to attack us at all, but just a couple of young people making out inside?"

As a leopard man, Palamides' sense of smell is actually quite keen. He could smell the person in the fitting room, and could roughly tell who the person might be from the smell. To be precise, he smelled a man and a woman, and the girl had a faint smell of hairspray and perfume, which showed that the girl had been carefully dressed before going out, and the boy was even more outrageous, as he seemed to have the smell of a strong hair dye that even masked most of the boy's body odor. The kid is probably the most fashionable kid, and only this kind of imp would dye his hair in that nondescript and colorful color.

"Palamides, don't look at the clothes sold in it so ordinary, that store is a high-end clothing store. The average young person simply can't afford to consume it in it. Rosetta laughed: "The two of them are hiding in the fitting room like that, and I can't think of any other possibility than ambush or tracking." ＂

However, the two men in the locker room were definitely young men, probably very rich young men, squandering their parents' hard-earned ex, and messing around with men and women at a young age, Palamides thought to himself. I really want to know who the parents of this kind of little kid are, they must be the guys who have no way to teach their children.

But Palamedis didn't want to continue arguing with Rosetta, so he casually said, "You're just too nervous." ＂

"Perhaps," Rosetta said with a wry smile, "but don't forget, I have many enemies, both commercial and political, who want my life all the time." Today, I've removed all the close guards for a date with you. I'm completely defenseless right now, so you must protect me. ＂

"Are you kidding?" said Paramidis, frowning suspiciously, "You must still have guards with you, right?"

"Not really. Rosetta smiled again: "This is a rare date, how can I let a group of scorching guards ruin my fun?"

Hearing this, Palamides began to panic: "You should have told me earlier. I came out today empty-handed, and I didn't even bring half of my weapon. ＂

"Then let's play on the spot. Rosetta commanded the big cat with a mysterious smile.

"Even if you say so," Paramides froze. The weapons that can be found in a place like a mall are nothing more than knives and forks, and using such things against the guns and swords in the hands of assassins is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. But of course, this kind of thing is not at all certain until an attacker actually attacks them. You can only take one step at a time.

Palamides couldn't help but take out a handkerchief and wipe his sweat: "I just hope that today can pass safely." ＂

However, Palamidas's crow's beak was always prone to manifestations, and it seemed that something had happened to the east side of the mall, and the crowd had begun to panic, and people kept fleeing in the opposite direction, rushing towards Palamides and them.

"Hmph, that's great. The big cat couldn't help but hide his face: "What's going on this time?"

"I could hear the gunshots. It seems to be a lot of fun. Rosetta smiled calmly.

It's funny. Palamides muttered a thousand times in his heart.

Paramidis could hear the gunshots from a distance without Roseta's warning. And from the piercing sound of gunfire, those guns were not light guns at all, but extremely old live guns that braked with gunpowder. The people who can use this kind of thing can't come from some powerful organization, probably some civilians.

"Don't get involved in this kind of thing, let's get out of this place as soon as possible. Palamides persuaded.

"Yes, yes," Rosetta got up from her chair unhurriedly, "but wouldn't that make all the fun go away?"

I even think this kind of thing is fun. Palamides muttered ten thousand times in his heart.

He had planned to take Rosetta, the queen of gems, and get away from this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, but apparently he was already a step too late.

A crowd of rags-wielding civilian thugs armed with powder guns and ragged clothes has stormed the mall's atrium.
