Chapter 49: Victor's Secret

The two men came to the inside of the room, which was dimly lit, and there was a strong smell of perfume, and the silk curtain hanging from the low ceiling gently fluttered as they walked. Mr. Victor sat with his back to them, dressed in a nightgown with his black hair spread out, reading by a maglev oil lamp.

"Sir." The guard bowed, then asked, "Do you want me to stay?" ”

Victor didn't look back, "Let me guess, these pretty ladies should be unarmed, right?" ”

"Yes, sir." "But the smell of the wine she brought with her can smoke an army." ”

"No, no, Osborne, it smells like perfume to me." Victor laughed, "Invite the two beautiful ladies to the parlor and take a seat, and I'll be right away." ”

Beckoned by the guards, the two were ushered into the living room, where they sat down on a chair at the dining table in the center of the hall. After a few minutes, Mr. Victor came in, went to the front seat and sat down, and beckoned the guard to serve the steak and cheese, and said, "What about your wine, then?" He smiled and tugged at his beard.

"Yes, sir." Luna said.

He looked at Luna, "Oh? They told me you were from Whartont, but by the sound of your voice, you should belong to the nomadic tribe outside Whartont, right? Luna was shocked, but his big smile convinced Luna that there was no threat, at least not for the time being.

"Sir, you are really wise." Luna admired, "You're the first to recognize me as a nomad. ”

"It's so simple, so I can keep my head when the two countries go to war, and the relationship between Whartont and Osroni is in jeopardy, isn't it?"

"Yes, sir, sometimes I wonder who can figure out what two countries are fighting?"

Victor laughed out loud, his eyes rolling with joy, "Friend, you are not honest with what you say, I believe that the world knows that Adolf wants to inherit the throne, what is his ambition?" Everyone instructed him to unify the six floating continents, but the only condition before the unification was to attack Osroni and obtain the technological essence of the country, but before that he could remove all obstacles. ”

"Should I fear for my safety now, sir?"

"With me?" He spread his hands and crooked his mouth into a mocking smile, "Friend, I'm happy to think so, Adolf wants a lot of things, and your business is not worth mentioning. ”

"And who do you serve, sir?"

He paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course it's the people, where the people need me, I'll serve there." ”

"But to whom do you owe your allegiance?" Luna continued, "Osroni's government, or Whartont's royalty?" ”

"To the sublime power, ma'am." Victor smiled, then ended the conversation without question, turning his attention to the wine that Luna had brought in and placed on the table, "Now ......," he said, "I must beg your forgiveness, I am confused, is this wine from the nomads of Whartont, or Cagalle?" ”

"It's my own, sir." Luna calmly boasted, "No matter where you live, my wines are the best." ”

"Is it good enough to surpass Atlante's sorghum?"

"Fruit wine is different from sorghum wine, one is a spiritual rendering, and the other is the freedom of human nature." Luna laughed, "So, I think we can sell our own." ”

"And then? In this way, sorghum wine will not be pleasant. ”

"Yes, sir."

"It may not matter to you like that, ma'am, but it's all these things that bother me every day." He said, "Okay, try the steak before it's cold." With that, he grabbed the knife that cut the beef.

Luna feigned some heat, then untied her bandana, spread her hair, and snuck it back into her pocket to twist it into a rope while he was engrossed in looking at the wine.

Reflecting the candlelight, Victor carefully cut off a piece of beef with his knife, then dragged the wine glass in his hand, sniffed it carefully, then opened his mouth to taste it, then chewed the beef thoughtfully, looked at me, and then cut off the second piece of beef, and continued to do the same motion.

"Hmm." After a moment he said, "Ma'am, you are wrong, this bottle of wine is no more delicious than the other wines of Whartont, in fact, they drink exactly the same." His smile faded, and his face darkened, "Tell me what your purpose here is." ”

"......," Luna knew she had been recognized, "can you give me back my friend?" As soon as she could finish speaking, he stabbed the beef knife at Luna, who dodged sideways, tied his hand around his knife-holding arm, and pulled his hand into his chest in the direction of his backstab, the blade piercing his shoulder.

He tried to ring the alarm bell on the table to call for help, but Luna quickly picked up the fork on the table and slammed his palm to the table, while his other hand was secured by the other fork.

"And then?" Luna spread her hands, "What are you going to do?" Mr. Victor? ”

Victor endured the pain, the blood from his mouth kept flowing, the stab on Luna's shoulder was not heavy, she just opened his artery and punctured his collarbone, he wanted to cry out for help, at this moment, the door of the parlor was opened, the door was bloodied, the broken glass of the stump was covered with blood, and to Luna's little joy, she saw the head of the guard who had just entered the door and mocked me standing safely on the ground.

Then Jack walked in, the triangular thermal scanning visor covered the top half of his face, he took off his coat, the artificial muscles of his body were tightly covered by a layer of alloy, the ninja knife in his hand was still stained with the blood of the previous deceased, he saw the two of them, and opened the visor from the inside out, "The outside is all done." "He unsheathed his knife and threw my weapon belt at me.

Luna caught it and draped it on, then pulled out the switchblade at her waist and pressed it against Victor's neck, "Maybe you tell me where my friend is?" I can consider letting you go. ”

"Stop dreaming!" "I won't," he said firmly...... Yes! Before he could finish, Luna slashed the blade into one of his fingers, blood spurting out, "I don't want you to have any firm martyrdom intentions right now, because you're a villain. Luna withdrew the switchblade.

"Hey...... It seems that you are underestimating a cultist who believes in death. "But," he said viciously, "But...... The girl you spoke of is no longer with me, she has long since been taken away by the samurai. ”

"Which samurai?"

He snorted coldly, "It's the samurai with a mechanical arm......"

"You're talking about......" Luna thought for a moment, "Samuel?" ”

"Hence the name." "That's what Red Rabbit calls her," he said. ”

"So where are they now?" Luna grabbed him by the collar.

He grinned, "They set off for the power core of this underground city half an hour ago, and if they only connect it to Whartont's core system, Osroni's core will be shattered by the satellite neutron cannon, so that the power of the entire city of Osroni will be cut off...... So that this high-tech metropolis can be swallowed up by ambitious countries overnight...... Hey...... And the reason why I'm here is to delay you......" Luna's brain shook, one, their plan had already been seen through by them, and second, listening to him say this, it seems that what Adolf wants to give this world is not war, but an invasion, a kind of devouring, and now, it is equivalent to Whartont unleashing a Trojan horse on Osroni! Luna froze......

"Hmph......" he sneered, "but before I can do that, I have to deal with you guys!" He roared, and jerked to his feet, ignoring the hand held in place by the blade, pulling the blade out of it with all his might, and swinging it at Luna with his arm.

Luna was in a tense situation, but her body was not restrained, Luna dodged left and right to dodge his swing, his movements were sluggish due to the injury, she did not choose to draw her sword, and in the dodge pulled out a silk scarf, and then placed a coin and a thin wire in it, twisting it into a noose.

"Can I ask you one last question?"

"You give me death!" He continued to wield his blade.

Luna didn't speak, but hurriedly slumped down under his blade-wielding arm, crossed her hands, leaped forward, and slammed the noose over his head, strangling him around the neck.

"You ......" He swung the blade of his stabbing hand back, but it was too slow, and the slashing knife only sliced through the air, and Luna gripped the homemade noose in her hand, pressing the coin against his throat, choking his spitting completely.

Just as his eyes rolled up completely, Luna let go of the rope and pulled out the knife in his hand with her free hand, "One last chance for you." "I crossed the two blades around his neck," said, "where is the core?" ”

"Out of ...... It's 500 meters away......," he gasped, "but...... You can't ......" Before he could finish speaking, Tina on the side slammed the blade into the skin of his neck, he raised his arm, trying in vain to scratch Tina's eyes, Tina turned her head, and then slashed the blade to the left and right, blood and a little lung juice splashed out with the cut, he used the last remaining strength to protect his neck, and then he hung down with the last cough from his throat, the tablecloth gently moved, and he died.

Tina put the sword back in its sheath and looked at Luna on the side, she said calmly, "He's treasonous, he's going to die anyway." Then Tina walked to the other side.

When it was all over, Luna closed his bulging eyes and spread his body on the carpet beside him, and after she called Tina and Jack to look at the body, Luna went back to his bedroom and picked up the book he had been looking at, she put it in her pocket, picked up the closed maglev oil lamp on the table, and went back to the living room.

"You go out first." Luna beckoned the two of them out of the living room, and then slammed the maglev oil lamp into Victor's corpse, and the oil lamp burst with a "bang", and the fuel burned down the carpet, slowly burning on the corpse.

"What are you doing here?" Tina asked, "Destroy the corpse?" ”

"No, I just don't want to see him in a few days." Luna laughed and said, "Let's go, we need to stop a catastrophe." ”

The firelight lit up the entire mansion, and the three of them walked towards the mansion gate.
