Chapter 109: Turning the Face and Not Recognizing People
Van Cleef returned to the hotel and went straight back to his rented room, ignoring Andy and Vanessa's calls. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Vanessa, I see that your father is abnormal!" Andy said with a deep uneasiness on his face, "Who did he go to meet, and how did he come back like a different person?" ”
Vanessa was also at a loss, and finally sighed and said, "I'll go and ask what's going on first." ”
Andy sighed, nodded, and walked into Doyle's room on the first floor. Doyle was fine, and his weak body had made up for it, and when he saw Andy come in, he hugged him tightly.
"Andy, thank you so much!" Doyle slapped Andy the back and said, "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have died." In the future, we will be brothers, and we will never abandon each other in life and death! ”
Andy smiled and said, "It's okay if you're okay, you can live here for a while." Oh yes, these are those gems for you. ”
Doyle pushed the gem bag back with both hands and said, "You saved my life, and I'll give you these!" ”
Andy shook his head and said, "Aren't we brothers, these are yours!" ”
Doyle smiled and threw the bag of gems on the table, although the gems were valuable, they were not as valuable as Andy's.
"I heard from my sister that you've been with that pastor for the past two days, and you seem to know each other?" Doyle said with a smile.
"You may not remember, but Leila does!" Andy said with a glance at Layla.
"Me?" Layla said confusedly.
"Do you remember that drunken old man in the town of Red Ridge Mountain?" Andy said with a smile.
Before Leila could speak, the archer next to her said in surprise, "That old man is the priest?" It doesn't look like it! ”
Andy nodded and said, "At first, I couldn't believe it, he was Archbishop Benedictas of Stormwind!" ”
Doyle asked in surprise for a long time, and finally said, "Andy, have you encountered anything difficult in the past two days?" ”
Andy sighed secretly and said, "It's not a big deal, you can keep it in peace." ”
At noon the next day, the laborers captured by Katenara were released, each with a cloth bag, and sent out of Stormwind.
Van Cleef told Vanessa out of town, found the laborers, and told them not to go far and just wait nearby.
From that night onwards, Van Cleef had to leave the hotel almost every night in secret, returning at dawn.
It was from this night that the nightmare began for the nobles of those council chambers. At first, he was cut off his hair or beard for no reason while he was sleeping, but in the next few days, it became a blatant threat of intimidation. The point is, they don't know what this person who threatens them is talking about!
A few days later, there was a tremor in the council chamber.
"What, I don't agree!" Saleh slapped the table and stood up, looking at Katrana angrily. This woman wants to be the head of this place!
There was never a real head in the parliament chamber, but Saleh, the oldest of them, became the head of them. Today, this woman actually proposed to elect a real leader, and she also took the initiative to serve as it.
Are you kidding! Even if the council chamber needs a head, there is absolutely no need for a woman to hold it! If needed, then this person must be himself, and he is the most qualified!
"I don't agree either, I support Saleh!" Another old man of the same age said.
Toth glanced at Katrana, his eyes were full of desire, and said with a slight smile: "I support Katrana!" ”
"Toth, you!" Saleh did think that someone would definitely defect here, otherwise this woman would not be so calm, but he never imagined that this person would be Toth!
"I think Katrana is better suited to lead us, as you can see from what we did with those workers a few days ago." Toth said, looking at Saleh, "You're too old, it's time to rest!" ”
Saleh's eyes widened with rage, glaring at Toth. He seemed to figure out why Toth would oppose him, and he looked at the woman differently!
Toth migrated from the Northern Kingdom to Stormwind with him, and he also raised it by himself, but now he turned against himself for the sake of a woman, how could he not make him feel cold!
"Is there anyone else who supports me?" Katrana whispered, a grim smile on her lips.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire council hall suddenly became tense, and there was a quiet sound of needles falling.
A moment later, amid Katrana's sneer, someone began to speak. The men peeked at Katrana and instantly figured out the joints. The threat made a few nights ago must have come from the countess, but no one would be stupid enough to say it, otherwise the ruthless countess would definitely kill him.
For a moment, only Saleh and the person who supported him were left in the entire council hall, and the scene suddenly became awkward.
"You ...... You guys...... What are you ......?" Sallih stammered, unable to speak.
"Well, have you two figured it out?" Katrana asked, shaking her head.
Saleh's wide-eyed eyes suddenly lost their brightness, and he sat down in his chair dejectedly, waving his hand and losing even interest in speaking.
Katrana chuckled, no matter what, her victory was absolute, and Saleh's opinion had now been artificially ignored.
There is no doubt about the outcome, but it will take time to establish her authority over these people, and Katrana knows this.
Van Cleef was the first to get the news, and Katrana did not deliberately hide what was happening in the council chamber.
"Countess, please fulfill your promise?" Van Cleef came to the council chamber and looked at Katrana, who was sitting alone on the couch.
"What promise?" Katrana looked at Van Cleeff in confusion.
Van Cleef's eyes froze, and his face changed to look at her and said, "The countess's memory won't be so bad, do you want to break the contract?" ”
Katrana looked at Van Cleeff seriously, and said helplessly: "I really don't know what I promise you, why don't you remind me?" ”
Van Cleef suppressed the anger in his heart and said word by word: "Didn't you say that if I help you sit in this position, you will give me the wages you owe me......"
Before Van Cleef could finish speaking, Katrana interrupted Van Cleef with a smile: "You said this, I was indeed elected head of the council chamber, but I don't know what it has to do with you?" ”
Van Cleeff's teeth clenched, his fists clenched, and he trembled as he looked at Katrana's graceful figure.
"So you lied to me, you didn't intend to pay me at all, you just used me!" Van Cleef said coldly.
Katrana sat up straight and said, "If you have nothing else to do, please go out immediately, otherwise I will call the guards in." As for the things you said, I don't know! ”
Van Cleef's body suddenly tensed, and after a while, he relaxed his body and said, "Okay, I hope you don't regret it, and please remember what you said today!" ”
"Are you threatening me?" Katrana glared and said, "You threaten a nobleman in this place, and you should be the one who regrets it!" Guardsman! ”
Van Cleef gave Katlana a hateful look, said three yes in a row, and then strode out of the council chamber.
Katrana sneered in her heart, what if I use you, what can you do with me?
"Master, will there be any problems with this?" The young man who had gone to deliver the letter to Van Cleef came up and said, "Or I'll ...... him," he said, making a motion to wipe his neck.
Katrana waved her hand and sneered, "No need, Kante. Van Cleef couldn't make any waves, and no one in Stormwind would believe him. Until we have to, we must not reveal our identities! ”
Van Cleve walked out of the council chamber, glanced back resentfully, and whispered, "You forced me!" ”
