1668 Chips! For whom? …
(Thank you very much for the tips of 'Thunder' and 'Book Friends'140912054506462!) )
In the college, in a room dedicated to professors, Kimberly sat in a rather luxurious chair in the middle of a room full of bookshelves and books, closed her eyes, and tapped her fingers on the armrests one by one, letting the sound echo in the air.
Ye Ye was rushing tea on the side, but it was obvious that he was absent-minded.
Charlotte took the hand of Ann Riette, who was full of anxiety, and stood in front of Kimberly with Frey and Lei Zhen, silent, waiting for Kimberly to speak.
Sigmund stood on the back of one of the 'Automaton' from the 'Garm' series and stayed in the corner of the room with five 'Automaton' figures from the 'Garm' series.
Maintaining this scene, a full ten or twenty minutes passed, but there was not even a person who spoke, which filled the surrounding atmosphere with a strange heaviness.
Perhaps, the wordless attack on the head of the academy did have a big impact on Charlotte, Frey, Lei Zhen and others, right? …
At least, even the most impatient Charlotte took Ann Liette's hand and stayed there without saying a word, if it was a normal state, I am afraid that this indescribable silence would have been broken long ago.
Of course, Kimberly, the owner of the room, did not intend to let the silence last long.
After a few more minutes, Kimberly opened her eyes. Shoot a somewhat cold gaze at Ann Riette's body.
"Actually, I really want to arrest you and torture you directly!"
“――――!” Ann Liette was obviously startled by this sentence, tears appeared in the corners of her eyes, and she involuntarily hid behind Charlotte.
"Teacher Kimberly!" Charlotte hurriedly hugged Ann Riette's shoulder and glared at Kimberly.
"This has nothing to do with An Li at all, right?!"
"What stupid are you talking about? Kimberly glanced at Charlotte.
"Do you really think that Ann Liette has nothing to do with this? …”
Charlotte opened her mouth slightly, but couldn't retort.
"Whether Ann Liette has anything to do with the wordless assassination of the head of the academy, but she seems to know some inside story..."On the side, Lei Zhen said a pertinent sentence as if he was speaking fairly.
"After all. Before moving on without a word. Ann Riette did show up on the scene and let TyrantRex stop him, which proves that Ann Riette knew in advance that he was going to do something to the House Headmaster, right? …”
"Correct solution!" Kimberly is known for its calm voice reminiscent of machinery. Said to everyone.
"Of course. I myself wonder why the second lady of the Earl of Biraw, who had been missing for many years, suddenly appeared in the academy. And to be a student in the academy is even more suspicious..."
Hearing Kimberly's words, Charlotte remembered and spoke to Ann Liette with some excitement.
"Ann Li. Where have you been all these years? Do you know how worried I am about you? What about Mom? You're in this together, aren't you? …”
Faced with Charlotte's endless questions, Ann Riette glanced at Charlotte with some pained eyes, but didn't say anything, closed her eyes and lowered her head.
"Ann Li!" Seeing that Ann Liette looked like she was not going to explain anything, Charlotte's voice couldn't help but increase.
"Your family affairs, let me take care of them afterwards!" Kimberly interrupted Charlotte's questioning dissatisfiedly, and her eyes swept to Ann Riette.
"I just want to know, is it because of you why Scarlet Eyes assassinated the head of the house? …”
As soon as the words fell, An Riette's shoulders trembled hard, so that Charlotte, who was holding her, suddenly understood, and also made Kimberly, Frey, Lei Zhen and others understand.
"That—" Frey couldn't help but take a step forward, a little cringe, and a little hopeful.
"Wordless would assassinate the head of the academy, it wasn't his own idea, was it? …”
Ann Liette still didn't answer this sentence, but just buried her head in Charlotte's arms, looking like she didn't plan to say anything.
But it is this appearance that just confirms the truth of the sentence just now.
"Could it be that he was threatened? Charlotte said in an almost unbelievable tone, shaking her head and saying negatively.
"No way, his strength is so strong, even Magnus was once suppressed by him, when I practiced with him, even if I tried my best, I could only barely match him with an 'Automaton', just this one, I have never won!"
"Never won against an 'Automaton'? Lei Zhen's face was full of shock.
"You're one of the Rounds, and no one but Magnus would dare say they have a 100% chance of beating you, right? You can't even get an 'automaton' from him? …”
"It's unwilling, but it's true," Charlotte smiled wryly.
"His strength is already with me... No, the existence of a different dimension than us, just like Magnus, no longer feels like the strongest, but invincible! ”
"Indeed, Speechless, like Magnus, is the type that is so strong that it is desperate..."Lei Zhen had a trace of unwillingness on his face, but he still spoke.
"In this way, no one can threaten him so strong, right? …”
"That's why you're all little ghosts," Kimberly said sneeringly.
"The strength of one person, no matter how strong it is, is not stronger than a legion, and for those who have these powers, there is nothing that cannot be used!"
"What's more—" Kimberly looked at Ann Liette meaningfully.
"The chips that can be used to threaten are right in front of you? …”
"What does that mean? Charlotte subconsciously stood in front of Ann Liette, as if to hide her uneasiness, and spoke loudly.
"Are you trying to say that An Li was used as a bargaining chip for a threat?!"
"I see..."Compared with Charlotte, who couldn't accept it, Lei Zhen was stunned.
"If someone tells Wuyan that if you don't kill the head of the academy, Ann Liette will die, then it makes sense!"
"Wh Charlotte gasped and shook her head desperately.
"Impossible! He has nothing to do with An Li, does he?! Why did you kill the head of the academy for An Li?! ”
"Mr. Speechless didn't kill the head of the house to save me!"
As soon as Charlotte's words fell, Ann Liette couldn't hold back any longer, raised her head, and shouted at Charlotte with a little pale face.
"Mr. Wordless will kill the head of the academy for the sake of you, my sister!"
"For... For me? Charlotte froze.
"It seems that the situation is clear," Kimberly sighed.
"The person in charge behind this is not telling Scarlet Eyes, 'If you don't kill the headmaster, Ann Riette will die,' but 'If you don't kill the headmaster, TyrantRex's sister will die'... Is it? …”
Hearing this, who doesn't know? …
Indeed, Wordless was not threatened to assassinate the head of the house and become a criminal worthy of capital punishment for the sake of Ann Riette, but for Charlotte's sake!
Because, if Ann Liette is not rescued, it may be said that the director Ann Riette died, and after a lot of hardships, in order to reunite her family, she came to study at the 'King Valprokis Karakuri Academy', and tried her best to become the 'Demon King', Charlotte, she would definitely be in pain.
Speechless, just to keep Charlotte from suffering, he will save Ann Riette, who has nothing to do with him!
Even, at the expense of being threatened, become a criminal worthy of capital punishment!
"How... So—" Charlotte slumped limply on the ground, muttering in distraction.
"It turns out that I was the one who caused it..."
Looking at Charlotte's dejected appearance, Frey couldn't bear to turn her head, and Kimberly and Lei Zhen couldn't stop sighing.
"Sister-sama...", Ann Liette's eyes fluctuated violently, and she bit her lip.
Sure enough, Mr. Wordless, to my sister, is a very special deposit...
"Sister..."In front of everyone present, Ann Liette's voice trembled, and she squeezed out such a sentence.
"If you want to save Mr. Speechless, then kill me..."
Charlotte's eyes shrunk to the size of a pinpoint... (To be continued......)
