Chapter 182: Speculation

Previous Chapter

Francis and Duzzy tentatively met their eyes, then looked at Boone.

The corners of Boone's eyes twitched, at first he was proud that he didn't look down on these two people who entered the Lion's Tooth Camp with him, his goal was to replace Austin as the commander, but he didn't expect to be crushed by Austin unceremoniously.

After being knocked into the dust, he re-examined these two people, and finally understood why the people who could be assigned to the expeditionary force were not good at stubble, Francis's calm and gentle style did not lack the scheming that should be, and Duzzy directly wrote the word "villain" on his face.

The two of them looked at him at this moment, apparently for the same purpose - this man had been ordered to oppose the Commander, and now he could not be fully trusted. If he is firmly controlled while the Acropolis is operating, even if it is simple surveillance, he may be able to please Austin. It may be wrong not to do it, but it is not wrong to do it, and the trade-off is obvious.

"I also have some personal matters to deal with, so let's do it yourself. Boone's face was grim, and the disguise of lowering his eyebrows in front of Austin was torn off in an instant, and he was about to leave after saying a word.

Du Qi smiled, and took a stride in front of Boone, and his ugly face showed a disgusting banter, like a kraft candy glued to the soles of his shoes and mixed with dust and mud: "I am afraid that it will be inconvenient to act alone in this acropolis, and I am willing to act with you and take care of each other, and I hope that Your Excellency will not refuse my kindness." ”

Boone glanced at him, and the patrol happened to pass by, resisting his urge to make a move, and said word by word: "No need, I have my own arrangements, don't bother the two." ”

In a word, Boone rarely did not force Duzi to get out of the way, but bypassed him, and by the way, avoided Francis's unbridled gaze at him - Boone felt that this silent person was also difficult to deal with compared to the scum on the surface.

What he didn't expect was that Francis didn't dwell on it too much, leaving his bad words in the air.

That was fine, Boone looked up and saw that the sun was slowly moving westward in the sky, and he had been delayed here for more than ten minutes, and he was in a hurry compared to the man who had already been informed of his entry into the city, and he did not want to upset the man by two annoying flies.

"Remind you two, although I haven't been to the Acropolis, I heard that it is not so peaceful on the surface, where there is no patrol, homicides also happen from time to time, and discounting hands and feet is even more commonplace, I hope the two of you pay attention to safety and do it yourself. ”

Boone's words dissipated into the wind as he left, and Duzzy's eyes flickered, and he was about to follow up, but was pulled by Francis.

"Okay, that's all it takes, can you really fight against the ambush of the peak of the fifth order as a third-order person? ”

Du Qi was suffocated, his low ability was indeed his hard injury, and the courage that he finally mentioned was poured cold by Francis's words.

"But ......"

"Are you sure the Archon hinted that we were going to spy on him? I think our adult has a sense of being in control of everything inside and out. Francis smiled slightly, squinting his eyes like a cunning fox watching his prey fall into the hunter's trap step by step, with a bit of schadenfreude.

Du Qi was stunned, looked at Francis's face, and suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth, the humility that he had always maintained on his face suddenly disappeared, and he laughed fiercely and silently, the muscles of his cheeks were protruded by him, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes were squeezed out of a few deformed deep grooves, but his tightly pursed lips seemed to be about to swallow some secret.

They hadn't been here for long, but the Lord had cast his image in their hearts deeply—powerful, moody, and in control.

Since Austin didn't give the two of them explicit instructions, it means that they may be variables, but they don't matter to the overall situation, like a few invisible mayflies in a pool of clear water. Why, then, would they risk their lives to get their own troubles?

"Francis, we are the same group here, and now it seems that Boone is basically gone, and it will be impossible to get any status in the future, but you and I have a great future, why don't you find a place to exchange our recent experiences?"

"Alright," Francis smiled kindly, and deftly pushed Duzzy away for half a minute, "why don't we find a tavern to sit down in? ”

"My brother has arranged it, I still have a little money, you can ask my brother to have a drink. Before he knew it, Duzi had raised his title to another level.
