Chapter 129: Suspicion
Austin smelled conspiracy in Zoro's words.
No, this is no longer a conspiracy, but a conspiracy, everything is clearly laid out on the table by Zoro, but everything is in Zoro's plan, like a huge poisonous spider has set a trap, and he will plunge into the web full of slime from left to right, and in front of him is a smiling spider's mouth.
Backwards? This option was never in front of Austin, and the bone-eating worm was watching him from nowhere.
Seeing Austin pondering and silent, Sauron did not have the urging on his face, but there was still a faint anxiety in his heart. There would be no problem with his own assumptions, and the people of the Inquisition really wouldn't reassure themselves, and sent Austin over to test his tone. As long as Austin wants to get any information from him, he will not let go of the opportunity to escort his goods.
Even if he wanted to give up, the people who supervised him would not sit idly by.
However, the Austin he saw today was different from what was mentioned in the intelligence, and instead of the arrogance and self-confidence as rumored, he was as cautious and sensitive as a mole, full of suspicion of everything around him, only at ease with the darkness he was in, and even unwilling to expose any part of himself to the sun, which made him begin to have the illusion that he could not control it.
Sauron shook his head, trying to get rid of the thought that bothered him, and said, "Mr. Austin doesn't need to be in a hurry to answer. If you want, go to the Black Market's Hunters' Society
That's right, it's the nominal pioneer organization, looking for my deputy, Asuka, who will tell you the details of the commission and negotiate the payment. Don't come to me and don't let anyone else know. I'm sure you understand what I mean. ”
"That'...... Shall I go back and think about it?"
"Of course you can, but it's best not to be more than three days, otherwise it will delay some of my ...... Engineering. ”
Austin nodded to show that he understood, and after hearing such words, he also understood that there was some anxiety in the other party's heart. However, now is not the time to compete with patience, and the "as soon as possible" mentioned in von Lantlin's task is not without a time limit, but a reminder and supervision. The longer it drags on, the worse it will be for you.
Several thoughts crossed Austin's mind, and then she took her leave. When he walked to the door, Austin saw Gucci coming in with a bottle of fine red wine, still with a little dissatisfaction and undisguised contempt in his expression, like the butler of a big mansion, and there was no betrayal of Sauron in the slightest.
Austin bowed slightly, and Gucci was a little surprised by his departure, but he was really good at "putting himself in the right position", and he didn't ask much, and he snorted and passed by Austin.
On the way back, several people did not choose to take a car, but walked slowly along the wide road, and the gale in the uncertain direction hit from all directions, like an unavoidable sword rain, blowing people's faces painfully, and they had to transport a small amount of source force to resist.
As it approached noon, the wind gradually subsided, and the sun behind the clouds stubbornly tried to break through the comfort, and although it was still impossible to see the outline, the scattered light reflected the earth much brighter.
Austin suddenly felt a little unfamiliar with this kind of light after staying in the north for a while, and suddenly felt a little dazzling, raised his head slightly while squinting his eyes, and stretched out his hand to block the sky, only a few traces of thick clouds appeared from his fingers.
As he stopped, so did the crowd. After a brief silence, before Austin could organize the language, Davix had already spoken first: "Anna...... Can you tell us about your relationship with Sauron? I know you have no ill will towards us, and you did do a good job today by taking back the initiative from a sixth-order selector, but...... You know, we're used to seeing too much shady and too cheap to trust. ”
Austin didn't expect Davix to speak so directly this time, but it is true that such a question is more appropriate than asking it himself. He can use thunder to kill his enemies, but sometimes it is difficult to be ruthless with those around him.
Many times, Austin felt that Davix was more suitable for such a public office than himself, and after so many years, he still seemed to be the killer who didn't grow up.
Blazing Bear and Brunei led the team to follow, although it was not clear what was happening in the main hall, but the meaning of Davix's words was clearly understood by both of them, and after glancing at each other, they moved their feet at the same time, blocking Anna's way back, reaching out and holding down the hilt of the shotgun and the short sword at his waist.
A fifth-order ability raised in the training ground, against two fourth-order people who have experienced a hundred battles, who wins and who loses is still between five and five. Of course, if Morogi also makes a move, it will be a different matter, but it can still be done to block one or two.
While the two of them were devouting several plans in their hearts, Moroji, who they regarded as the biggest variable, gritted his teeth and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Anna with a raised hand.
"As you must have seen, my family is a wealthy family of the Bolton Dynasty, and I am one of the daughters of the lord's family. When Sauron was on the throne, my father was kind to him, and after Sauron came to power, he took care of my family. Although the two sides have not been in direct contact for many years, they are inextricably linked. ”
Seeing that Anna was willing to take the initiative to explain, Austin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although Davix's tone of speech was a little tough, he was actually reluctant to conflict, and it was not easy to have a "friend" now, so he naturally needed to cherish it.
Davix's face softened, and he said, "So, you didn't really know what Sauron was thinking at first...... Then why-"
"Of course I don't know! I didn't collude with him!" Anna pouted unhappily, "I can understand reasonable suspicions, but you are not allowed to speculate on me so maliciously!"
Davix was stunned by this burst of robbery, and scratched his head helplessly through the hood.
Anna gave him a blank look, looked at Austin, who was unusually calm on the side, and continued: "Actually, he has already hinted very clearly, saying that he wants to break up Gucci, but unfortunately you can't understand it...... As for the wood of Morogie, he didn't know what to do even if he understood it. ”
This time, it was Moroghi's turn to be a little embarrassed and let out a burst of laughter.
"You don't have to be so nervous. I didn't tell you before that I was afraid that you would be too careful, but now it seems that I am still very wise. Since it has all been said, in fact, Sauron is a very affectionate person, and since he is willing to express his relationship with me, it will not be unfavorable to us. ”
"It's impossible to be unfavorable to you, and he doesn't care about the life and death of our little miscellaneous fish. Davix thought of the depression in the face of the superior when he met Sauron today, and his heart was troubled, and the words he said were sharper, like a sharp knife, no matter who was on the other side, he just wanted to prick everything in front of him with blood.
