Chapter 8 Conflict
Erin and Fred's settlement area is not far apart, everyone thought that they could take care of each other if they had a friendship, but they didn't expect that later, driven by interests, the friendship gradually faded, although it did not become mortal enemies, but it was definitely not the same as before.
Erin's ghetto was also closed, and she was afraid of Fred's revenge.
The guards on duty didn't see clearly that it was Nock and Ray who shot them.
Nock's greatsword struck the sword with a metallic striking, and he only had a shock to his wrist to dissolve all the force of the bullet.
"Damn it, that eyeless bastard doesn't even recognize your Uncle Nock!" Nock scolded angrily at the wall.
After a while, the door opened, and a group of people ran out, and the guy who shot just now knelt down directly, his face was pale and trembling, and said, "I'm sorry head, I don't know it's you, it's the eldest sister who ordered someone to get close and just shoot, don't tell the eldest sister, otherwise she will have to pick my skin." ”
"Erin is really, what are you supposed to do, and don't shoot indiscriminately, do you know!" Nock knocked the man on the head and went with Ray to find Erin.
Erin heard the gunshots and rushed to the gate, wearing a combat uniform, she was still carrying a heavy machine gun in her hand, she was heroic and scolding, and even Ray and Nock were coming towards her, which she ignored.
"Damn, isn't it Fred's dog thing, I just let him go and dare to come to find bad luck, I really don't know what to do, look at the old lady who won't waste him this time!"
Nock grabbed her neck and brought it to him.
"What are you doing!?" Irene asked him as he broke free of Nok's grasp.
"Look at your virtue, you don't move, you fight and kill, can you look like a woman?" Nock suddenly shouted to Erin.
For the tame cat-like Nock, it was unusual, and it really calmed Erin.
Seeing her look like an innocent little woman, Nock couldn't bear it again.
"I've just come back from Fred, and I know that you're in conflict, and I feel that something is wrong, and I have something to ask you when I come back with me. Nock stroked Erin's cheek and whispered, remorseful for the angry behavior he had just reprimanded.
Back in the council chamber, Irene recounted what had happened in the morning.
It turned out that a cart of supplies she had spent a huge amount of money had been robbed in the morning fifteen kilometers northwest of the settlement, and according to the men who had escaped, the men who had fled had driven the chariot with the sign of the Fred settlement and had gone in their direction after they had succeeded.
Ray and Nock glanced at each other, and they both smelled of conspiracy.
"Well, in fact, no one saw Fred the whole time, right, big sister?" said Ray, who had been silent.
Erin thought about it and nodded, "Isn't this evidence enough?"
Nock sighed and said, "Hey, you do everything with a hot head, and if you are a little sensible, you know that someone is trying to sow discord between you two people." ”
"What?!You said it wasn't Fred who did it?!" Erin was taken aback when she realized the seriousness of the problem.
"Obviously, it's not that you assume that he did it, and it's too arbitrary, and besides, do you think that someone who robs someone else's goods will make a big show of the sign so obvious? Over the past few years, I know you've had some quarrels, but there have been no bloodshed, let alone outrageous acts like looting supplies. Nock stood up and said.
"How do I know? I'm a little woman who thinks so much, and you're not with me all day. Erin realized that she had made a mistake and did not dare to speak loudly, so she took the opportunity to put the blame on Nock.
Nock couldn't blame her anymore for a while.
"I wonder who would benefit the most if you broke up. Ray asked her after knocking on the table and thinking for a while.
"Anthony!" Erin said categorically, "the three of us are the largest in the Fallen Plains, he is the most ambitious, he has already swallowed up several small settlements, and he has always been worried that I will join forces with Fred against him. ”
"I know this bastard, he is a little nobleman expelled by Cappuccilon, he has a bad stomach and is very capable, it seems that he is the only one who dares to do this!" Nock said angrily when he heard the name.
"It's him!?, the old lady will bring someone to serve his nest now!" Erin was about to run out as soon as she got angry and picked up her machine gun.
"You crazy woman, what did you say you were here just now? Do people dare to mess around without a well-thought-out plan? Now you have to listen to me, or you will cause trouble. Nock grabbed her and said.
"Well, you're my man, I'll do whatever you say. Erin enjoyed the feeling of being pampered, and her temper subsided, and the two showed affection in front of Ray.
"Ahem, that, do you need me to leave?" Ray's cough caused Erin to roll her eyes and ask knowingly.
"It's imperative that we give Fred a word first, Erin, I think you should come forward and apologize in person, I still want to bring Fredra to our side in my plan, but I can't let this break the big thing. Nock said as he secretly let go of Irene's hand.
An hour later, an SUV arrived in front of Fred's settlement.
Looking at the black muzzles of the guns on the city walls makes people laugh, and it seems that the morning clash has left a deep shadow on Fred.
Nock jumped out of the car and raised his hand to the city.
"Fred, let's go inside, Erin is here to apologize. ”
Fred turned pale and wiped the sweat from his forehead, in the morning he was angry and forgot the relationship between Nock and Irene, now that they came together, how could he believe them, in case they coveted their own property, as soon as the door opened, the capital for the pension would be gone, and they might take their own lives.
Nock saw what was on his mind and continued, "Fred, I really didn't lie to you, I guarantee you with the honor of Mr. Ted. ”
After some hesitation, Fred rushed down and shouted, "Nock, don't lie to me, or I'll curse you all to hell!"
After saying that, he still ordered the door to be opened.
Nock couldn't help but smile and thought to himself, "What's the difference between this world and hell right now, what a goofy goose." ”
Erin didn't squirm either, she jumped out of the car and came to Fred, bowed deeply, confessed her mistake, and promised to compensate for the damage caused by the morning's battle.
At the mention of losing money, Fred's eyes lit up, and he was thinking about how much a bullet would cost, how much would the wounded be compensated, and how much would he have the heart to care about anything else.
After the atmosphere eased, Fred also took the initiative to invite them to lunch together, and this slippery head estimated that he got a lot of oil and water from the compensation to be so generous.
During the dinner, Nock told Fred about their analysis, and Fred was not much surprised to hear it.
It turned out that Charlotte had lobbied him several times to form an alliance with Anthony before, and it seemed that he was also instigated by him.
"Are you saying that Charlotte had been in frequent contact with Anthony before?" Nock remembered what Charlotte had said in a moment's time.
"That's right, he seems to have gotten a fourth-order potion in the Forest of Red Leaves through Anthony, and this idiot will believe me and won't listen to anything I say.
Neither Ray nor Nock were silent, they knew that things were more complicated than expected, and they both frowned and thought to themselves.
"Fred, what do you think of this? Don't you hold back and act like nothing happened?" asked Erin.
"Otherwise, we have no evidence, and besides, I'm not Anthony's opponent, isn't it self-defeating to fight with him?"
Nock wanted to go over and smack him in the mouth.
"Do you want evidence? Is it evidence when people bloody your settlement? Don't think that you are okay now and safe in the future, if he dares to do this, it means that he is bound to win sooner or later. Nock said with a disdainful look at Fred.
Fred took a hard sip of his drink and fell silent, knowing that Nock was implying that he and Erin were working together to kill Anthony.
