631 Countess (xxxii)
There was nothing to say for a while, and in the dark night, in the ghostly dense forest, there was nothing but the sound of birdsong and wind.
For a long time, so long that Cain even had the illusion that the day was about to dawn, Villard slowly raised his head and spoke, his voice very low, as if he was afraid that someone would hear it, and asked in a cold voice, "What do you want me to do?" β
Hearing the nervousness and distrust in his voice, Cain was not angry, his deep eyes fell on him, and he chuckled, "Don't worry, you won't have anything to lose, on the contrary, I will let you gain more." β
"For example?"
Cain's gaze looked aimlessly into the distance, in the direction of the castle.
He laughed, "What do you want?" Want to be the owner of that castle? Get rid of Helena's control and live the free life you want, right? β
Cain was like a mind reader, and he knew what was going on.
Villard looked embarrassed, but didn't refute.
Cain lifted his chin and said in a leisurely tone, "That's it, it seems." β
"I can do that for you," he squinted dangerously, "but you'll have to pay some price in exchange." β
The more relaxed his tone was, the stiffer Villard's speech became. There is no need to compare at all, the superiority is immediate.
Verard was numb, and he knew he couldn't fight this man.
"Say, there's no need to sell it, you want to kill Lady Helina?"
"No, of course notβ"
"No?"
Why? Other than that, Verard couldn't think of any other possibility, and according to his thoughts, Cain had been hunting down Helena for more than ten years, but he had always let him escape from his hands.
For a person with an unruly personality like him, I'm afraid it will be seen as an insult in life, right?
Cain's eyes were raised, and under his slightly constricted eyelashes, there was a clear smile, "I naturally have my purpose, you just have to do it according to my method, and when it is done, I promise to completely eradicate Helena from your world, and there will be no roots left." β
Villard was in a bad mood, and even worse after listening to Cain's story.
"Are you sure? Also, what exactly do you want to do to Lady Helena? β
A cold wind swept in front of him, and Cain's figure appeared in front of him, a pale and slender finger against his lips, Cain spoke lightly, without the slightest emotion, "You hate her, this is an indisputable fact, the deal I made with you is beneficial and harmless to you, as for the rest, asking too much is not necessarily a good thing." β
Verard tilted his head, dodging his fingers.
Cain smiled, withdrew his hand unconcernedly, and whispered in his ear, "There's an old saying, I wonder if you've heard of it?" β
"Huh?"
"Curiosity kills the catβ"
The big palm slapped him on the shoulder, and the force was so great that it almost broke his bones together. Villard broke free, his face almost dripping.
He was held back by Cain, like a prey stuck in a spider's web, struggling desperately, all in vain.
Seeing that Villard was silent, Cain didn't care what he really thought in his heart, and raised his eyebrows happily, "Then, our deal, from this moment on, will take effect." β
"I'll only give you a week, Verard, and please don't let me down," his icy eyes slammed into his, the corners of his lips sinister, "Otherwise, I'll let you know that my patience is no better than that of Helinaβ"
