Chapter 239: Attempt
"Stop!"
Cecil commanded from Defoe's mech.
Suddenly, 10 mechs stopped attacking, and even the three mechs that were fighting with the two subordinates also stopped the attack in their hands, and one of them was also hit by a punch from the opponent's inertia.
Even so, the other party did not fight back, but only passively defended.
Jack stood in the corner and saw the situation on the field very clearly.
Seeing this, Ashley turned up the volume even more: "Stop! Marlow! Ricardo! Stop! ”
After two seconds, the two of them seemed to hear her voice, and the attack movement slowly subsided, and then slowly retreated to the corner of Ashley's side, and did not put away the mecha, vigilantly observing the whole scene.
When the two sides completely stopped, Heijin Rod, who didn't know where to hide before, stood up: "Okay, the boss invited you here today to reconcile, not to increase the grudge." ”
He stood in the middle, his hands outstretched, pacifying the men and horses on both sides.
Cecil was the first to let Defoe open the cab, jumped out of it, and sat down in the main seat for a long time.
The remaining 10 mechs simply stood in a row behind him, looking very impressive.
Lian Yue only found out at this time that the people on the other side had been fighting before, and they had been controlling the scope of the fight to prevent the long table here from being affected.
She could see this, and Ricardo, who was experienced in combat, and his two subordinates naturally understood, and they couldn't help but turn dark at this time.
Marlowe didn't know this, he only regretted in his heart why he didn't bring a few more men with him when he came to Endless City! Also, where are all the big troops in the back? Why hasn't it arrived yet!
Sitting on the main seat, Cecil waved his hand, motioned for Ashley to take a seat, and beckoned the others: "Miss Ashley, sit down and talk, don't worry!" ”
Ashley had no choice but to sit back in her seat.
Seeing that Marlowe and the others were still making a vigilant posture in the mecha, he didn't care very much, and only when Lian Yue and Jack were seated did he speak again: "It's a guest from afar, don't worry, I won't do anything to you casually!" ”
"Besides, this is my territory, I think even if it is Mr. Ricardo, the star god of war, you can't guarantee that you can easily get out of my territory without casualties!"
Cecil's words were arrogant, but they were also true.
Ricardo naturally understood the threat in his words, but the reinforcements were still in the rear, and now it was up to the four of them, and Ashley was still in their hands, so he had to compromise.
Simply, he took the lead in opening the cockpit and jumped out of it.
With his movements, Marlowe also hesitated for a moment, and then also ordered the two subordinates to stand by in the mecha, and then jumped out of the mecha as well.
"Marlowe! Ricardo! ”
As soon as she saw the two of them, Ashley couldn't hide her joy.
"Ashley!"
But with Cecil's people watching, they couldn't get closer, so they could only sit far away on Cecil's right seat, facing Ashley across the table.
Lian Yue sat on her left-hand side, and she could see Ashley's expression in her afterglow, and then there were worried eyes on the other side, and she suddenly made up a big drama in her head, but she couldn't help but laugh.
"Good! Now that all the guests have arrived, we can start today's dinner! With that, Cecil motioned for the food to begin.
He didn't talk nonsense, but the people present thought it was weird.
Led by the robot, one dish after another was served and placed in the middle of the table, and the robot who served it even poured a glass of wine into everyone's cup very thoughtfully.
If it weren't for the intimidating mecha behind him, and the black hole cannon barrel on the wall behind him, I'm afraid everyone would have been confused by this delicious food and wine, thinking that this was really a simple banquet.
No one moved, even Ashley and Lianyue, who like food, didn't move, who knows if there is poison in this?
Cecil ordered Black Gold Rod to sit down together, and when he saw that the others didn't move, he didn't care, and cut off a piece of electromagnetic roast lamb chops and drank it with grade fruit wine.
While drinking, he also introduced to everyone: "This is a fine wine made from monkey fruit, and it took 20 years of accelerated cellaring to get a few small bottles, so it is worth tasting?" ”
Lian Yue didn't know what the monkey fruit was, but the others did.
It is an extremely rare second-class fruit, which is a good product for making fine wine, but the stock is too scarce. In fact, five years ago, a large plantation of Monkey Wine and Fruit was broken into by a group of people and robbed of all the stock of wine, and even sinisterly burned the entire plantation.
Since then, the monkey fruit has basically faded out of the world's sight, let alone the fine wine made from the monkey fruit.
Marlowe and Jack raised their eyes at the same time, and glanced meaningfully at Cecil, who was drinking tea alone.
In the air, the eyes of the two overlapped, Jack withdrew his eyes without a trace, but Marlowe looked him up and down suspiciously.
"Miss Ashley, Mr. Marlowe, Mr. Ricardo? Don't you want to taste it? Cecil looked at them with a smirk, and then suddenly said, "Oh, look at me, how can I treat this ordinary monkey wine as a treasure like me?" Someone's coming! Pour it for me!" Exchange it for my treasured Rorschach! ”
Compared to monkey wine, Rorschach wine is naturally more precious.
But Cecil's movements inexplicably made people feel numb, and he spilled the precious monkey wine directly on the ground without care, pushed the cup, and sat up with his hands down.
The faces of Marlowe and the others immediately changed, he gave them a dismount!
Marlowe is used to being high, used to controlling people in the palm of his hand, and he has never experienced such a thing as being humiliated, and his face suddenly couldn't hold back: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, play some tricks, I think you are too long!" ”
"Marlowe!" Ashley was a little anxious when she saw him so impulsive.
Ricardo was also nervous, ready to burst out in the next second, to see if there was a way to hold Cecil hostage in a second.
Lian Yue knew from the first contact with the Stoke Star Thieves that these were a group of moody and changeable perverts, and they basically didn't like to play cards according to common sense, so they paid more attention to Cecil's actions.
Sure enough, in the next second, Cecil burst out laughing.
"Hahaha! Not bad, not bad! This is the Mr. Marlowe I know! He seemed very satisfied with Marlowe's performance, and couldn't stop clapping his hands and saying, "It's been ten years, I haven't seen you for ten years, and Mr. Marlowe is still the same as back then!" ”
"I invited Miss Ashley to come, not for anything else, but to use Miss Ashley's face to be a witness for us, and I want to reach a settlement with Mr. Marlowe."
As he spoke, he began to explain his purpose to himself, but as soon as he opened his mouth, except for Ashley and the others, who had known for a long time, the other two looked like they had eaten.
Marlowe squinted at him, as if he had heard some big joke.
That means as if to say, just you? Do you want to reconcile with me? What is there to reconcile between us?
Cecil showed the warm smile he had faced Ashley before, made a gentle and loving appearance, and said softly: "Miss Ashley, you still have to say a few kind words!" ”
With a fluttering word, he pushed the conversation to Ashley's body.
All of a sudden, the eyes of everyone present swept towards Ashley, making her look very embarrassed.
When the two of them saw that he was obviously embarrassed, they couldn't sit still, and at this time Jack spoke: "Mr. Cecil wants to clarify one point, that is, ten years ago, the person who attacked your brother was not him!" ”
What the?!
Marlowe's pupils flickered, and he stared straight at him, obviously angry.
Lian Yue was shocked, and couldn't help but turn her head to look at Jack, not understanding why he said this.
Unbeknownst to him, Cecil still had that hypocritical and warm smile, smiling at Ashley Nunu.
Ashley could feel a slight threat in his eyes, and had no choice but to respond: "He, that's what he said before, and he said, and said that everything was instructed by his cousin Bowlby." ”
But in fact, whether the mastermind behind the scenes is the Captain Cecil in front of him or his cousin, the ending has no meaning to him, his brother is dead! His body was even torn to shreds in the explosion, a rare piece of limb.
But he didn't understand that this Cecil kidnapped Ashley and then went around in circles to bring him here for what was going on.
Cecil should have been clear that everything behind this does not mean anything to reality.
He has been exiled for 10 years, he has become a star thief, and he will never be able to return to his family! Even if he pulled his cousin, the fourth heir in line from the horse, at most he would take revenge on the other party, but there would be no change in his situation at all.
Marlowe's family will not allow anyone to harm their people, or the forces will leave a chance to breathe, the Cecil family is over!
"Look! You see! I'll show you! ”
Cecil suddenly shouted, and replayed the video that he had shown to Lian Yue and them.
Ricardo was silent and followed Marlowe through the video in front of him.
In the next second, Cecil slapped him, and out of nowhere, a yellow-haired man with sharp monkey cheeks was dragged in and kicked him to the ground.
Lian Yue's face changed, and she recognized the man on the ground, who was the man she met on the road before and followed him!
"Look! This is the person my good brother planted in the Endless City, and they thought I didn't know? Hahahaha~ How could I not know! ”
"Come, tell me what your master has asked you to do!"
The yellow-haired man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks fell to his knees, clenched his teeth and remained silent, looking like he was unwilling to obey.
Cecil laughed even more happily, his smile gradually changed from hypocritical and kind to hideous, he took out an electric whip, and the arc instantly wrapped around the whip to make a sizzling sound, pop! It smacked on the yellow-haired man's back, causing him to convulse.
