Chapter 26 Words are not speculative
One after the other, the two carriages drove away from Carlton's villa and circled around the city aimlessly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Inside the car.
John sat in the back row and Grace sat in the front row, the distance between the two was only a meter, but it seemed to be separated by a deep trench with no bottom in sight.
"You've changed a lot compared to before." Grace whispered,
"Perhaps?"
John replied lightly, his eyes focused on the above, not knowing what he was thinking.
"When you were in school, you were very talented in music, but you were notoriously honest, and you didn't look like you are now." Grace said half-jokingly, but after saying a word, it was time to compliment it, and it was time to laugh at it, John was still like that, and he didn't react at all, so angry that her teeth itched,
Damn bastard, think you're a treasure!
Time passed slowly in an awkward atmosphere, and the carriage galloped, unconsciously to the outskirts of the city.
The cool autumn breeze shines through the windows, blowing away the rancid stench that remains inside, bringing a refreshing refreshment.
John came back from deep thought and said,
"It's almost time, let's talk! What do you want and what can you give? ”
This simple and direct opening method without any emotion made the rich lady from an aristocratic family very uncomfortable, and she was stunned for a while before she reacted, and asked,
"John Condon, what do you think of me?"
"Stranger!" John folded his hands around his chest and said expressionlessly, "Or maybe a collaborator with some purpose." ”
Grace's expression changed, and she said in a deep voice, "Is that how you usually talk to ladies?" ”
John shook his head, "No, only certain people do, like you, and like my stepmother who doesn't want to kill all the time but is locked up by me. ”
"Huh! It seems that I was lucky enough to be in the company of the famous Mrs. Ann Lila Condon. Grace said with a sneering face,
Who was the most famous woman during this time, there was no doubt that she was the mistress of Condon Manor, and in those days, cheating on her husband was an unforgivable and shitty thing for a wife.
Now that she is actually compared to An Lila, how can she not be annoyed.
John took a cigarette case from his bosom and said,
"Mind if I smoke?"
"Whatever you want!"
John smiled, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and said,
"Miss Grace, knowing that it was I who saved you last night, I guess you should have done a brief investigation into me."
Grace didn't speak, acquiescing to the sentence.
John flicked his cigarette and said with a blank face,
"Now that the investigation has been done, everything is simple, and we might as well make it clear,
Cooperation is a relationship between seeking and seeking, if you want to get something from me, you need to pay the same amount of things, if you only want to get, don't want to pay, then I'm sorry, I can only ask you to leave. ”
A merciless sentence made the still warm atmosphere freeze suddenly.
The two men staggered their eyes, neither spoke to each other, and the carriage moved slowly in silence, unconsciously winding from the suburbs back to the middle of the city.
Grace squinted her eyes and fell into deep thought, John's repeated troubles embarrassed her, but there seemed to be something else in the embarrassment, after all, the two are alumni of the same school, even if they don't know each other, they shouldn't be so stiff,
Moreover, from Hansel's mouth, he learned that the eldest young master of Conton Manor was a person who was good at making friends and judging the situation, how could such a person casually offend the mayor's niece.
His tone was clearly defensive.
Preparedness!!
Grace's heart moved, and she understood a little.
"Miss Grace, haven't you thought about it yet?"
Grace raised her head, her light blue eyes with a compelling edge, and said in a deep voice,
"You're scared, scared of the werewolves, and even more afraid of the people behind them."
"Hey! After thinking about it for so long, you've finally come to the fore. ”
John let out a long sigh, threw out the cigarette that was almost finished, and said helplessly,
"A high-ranking person who can casually get dozens of inmates out of a state prison;
An underworld boss who can engage werewolves and vampires at the same time;
A conspirator who can make such a big fuss without leaving any information;
Such a character, with so many identities and such a high status, how can I not be afraid, and how can I be for an irrelevant ......" John glanced at her and changed his words, "[Senior Sister], go and plug his gun, are you a fool for me?" ”
"That's why you're on guard against me?"
John nodded, re-lit a cigarette, and said, "You are a very beautiful, rich, and temperamental aristocratic lady, but what does this have to do with me, we don't know each other well, counting the occasional rubbing shoulders in school, we have only met a few times in total." ”
"In that case, why didn't you just shoot us last night." Grace asked,
"That's more troublesome."
"What's the trouble?"
John sighed, he didn't want to talk about this issue anymore, he had already made it clear enough, but this woman just didn't open her mind, and she didn't even understand such a simple answer as taking people's money to eliminate disasters for others.
You want me to plug the muzzle,
Okay, no problem!
But the total price should be paid, if you can negotiate cooperation by playing tricks, what else do you need to contract?
It's not good to be young, you always rely on your supervisor to make decisions, and you don't care about objective reality at all.
John spat out the smoke ring, and his young face was full of helplessness.
……
"What do you say they are doing in there?"
More than ten meters away, the demon hunter brothers and sisters sitting in the car stared at the back window of the carriage with burning eyes.
"I don't know."
Hansel shook his head, his eyes wide, eager to get through the crack between the door and window to see if Miss Grace was being bullied.
"I told you a long time ago, don't tell the woman about John Condon, but you won't listen, now it's okay, they fool around, and leave us outside." Gretel complained,
"You're not right." Hansel turned his head, his sleek short hair standing on end, and argued forcefully, "The message from the teacher says that we can find the ball from Grace, let's keep along, and if necessary, take her as the main thing."
She asked me about John Condon, and I could not have said it! ”
"Humph! It's just you're wrong anyway. ”
The witch was in a bad mood, wielding a whip in her hand and whipping it loudly.
At this moment, the carriage in front suddenly stopped.
The car door opened, and the ugly-looking Earl's daughter got out of the car, didn't pay attention to anyone, and after driving Benjamin and his son out of the car, she said coldly,
"Let's go!"
Syllable! With a thud, the wooden door slammed against the door frame, and the tremendous force caused the entire carriage to sway.
The demon hunter brothers and sisters glanced at each other, with helplessness in their eyes, and were about to come forward to chat with John and discuss the matter of the 1,500 yuan gratuity and the revolver, but this situation was no longer possible.
The ornate carriage was long gone, and the dust and smoke drifted away for a long time before disappearing.
"Young Master, what are you ......" Benjamin asked John with a confused face,
"It's nothing, it's not speculative."
John smiled, opened the car door, and when Benjamin came up, he instructed Henry and Frank, who were sitting in the car,
"Turn around and go home."
