Chapter 370: Weakness of Heart
With a round face and a round head and a round body, the city lord of Cambeth City, where Leach and Saya were waiting, was like a meat ball.
Not to mention the color of wisdom, Leach couldn't even feel his eyes, but those eyes had completely narrowed into two slits, and if he hadn't been standing in front of him and talking, it would have even given the illusion that he was asleep.
Not only that, but what is even more exaggerated is that his fat face is shiny, and I don't know if it is because he is in too much of a hurry, or because he is too fat and lacks exercise, his forehead is covered with fine sweat, and the whole person gives people a greasy feeling.
Behind the "Meat Ball" city lord was a thin and tall old butler, in stark contrast to the short and fat city lord.
The housekeeper had a long face, his eyelids drooping downward, giving people the feeling that he hadn't woken up yet, but he bowed to Leach and Saya when he first entered the door, and then he didn't say anything more, and seemed to be very gloomy and indifferent.
"You two, you don't know what's the matter with me?" With the support of the long-faced butler, the "Meat Ball" City Lord gasped and squeezed himself into the chair before he asked.
Although he was a little afraid to compliment the city lord's dignity, but now that he had a request, Leach respectfully took out the package containing the transaction voucher from his arms and handed it over: "That's right, we have a transaction voucher in our hands, I would like you to help check the specific information inside." ”
Hearing the six words "Transaction Voucher", the eyes of the "Meat Ball" city lord flashed, but because his eyes were too small, others would never see any clues.
"Well, I'll take a look at ......" The "Meat Ball" City Lord pretended to look at the transaction voucher in his hand, while Leach and Saya stood at the table respectfully with their heads bowed and waited for news.
I thought that there would be a result soon, but after waiting for a long time, I couldn't hear any sound from the "meat ball" city lord, Leach was really a little strange, so he boldly looked up over there, shouldn't he really be asleep?
It didn't matter, and Leach was surprised to find that the "Meat Ball" city lord did not pay attention to the purchase and sale transaction voucher in his hand, but kept staring at Leach and Saya.
Leach chuckled in his heart, and suddenly had a bad feeling, could it be that this certificate was fake, so he couldn't help but ask, "Lord City, is there anything wrong?"
"Oh, that, this transaction voucher was indeed signed by me, but ......"
Hearing that the "Meat Ball" city lord confirmed the authenticity of the voucher, Leach just breathed a sigh of relief, but then heard the word "but" again, and his heart twitched again: "But what?"
The "Meat Ball" city lord frowned: "However, I don't seem to have seen the two of them, with all due respect, this transaction voucher doesn't belong to the two, right? Not to mention that you don't even know the specific contents of it......"
In the end, the eyes of the "Meat Ball" city lord looking at the two were already full of suspicion, as if they were ready to call someone at any time.
"That's what scared me!" "Leach breathed a sigh of relief, just now he thought that he and Saya had revealed their identities.
Since his identity did not arouse the suspicion of the "Meat Ball" City Lord, Leach told the words that he had prepared a long time ago: "That's right, City Lord, this transaction certificate does not belong to the two of us, but to a friend of ours. However, our friend could not come in person for some personal reasons, and the person who signed this certificate was not our friend, but his father, so you never met us. However, I vouch for my personality that this transaction certificate was definitely not robbed by us!"
To be honest, it is impossible for anyone with a brain to fully believe such an unconvincing statement, but Eliqi's understanding of this transaction voucher is enough, and the performance of the "Meat Ball" city lord just now is mostly just a joke.
Sure enough, after listening to Leach's explanation, the "Meat Ball" city lord waved his hand indifferently: "I just asked casually, I don't care whether you obtained it legally or by skill, as long as this certificate is true......! How do I feel like I've seen them somewhere?"
Leach seemed to be really nervous at this time, after all, before coming to the Federation, Wright had warned them more than once, saying that their group was likely to be on the federal government's blacklist, and they must be low-key and careful.
At this time, combined with the suspicion of the "Meat Ball" city lord, it will inevitably make Leach think that he has seen the portraits of several of them.
"Lord Castle Lord, you're joking, it's the first time we've come to Cambeth City, how could you have seen us? You must have recognized the wrong person!" Leach forced his composure and arched his hand to explain.
"Really?" the "Meat Ball" city lord was obviously unmoved, "but why don't I think it's what you say?"
In this regard, Leach could only laugh dryly to hide the tension in his heart, not that he was afraid of being besieged, after all, with his profession, he often faced danger, and being besieged by people and even monsters was already commonplace, what really made him care was that he was afraid that he would not be able to continue to track down the news of his parents because of his identity exposure.
"Master," when Leach's palms were already sweating with nervousness, the long-faced butler on the side suddenly spoke, "It was yesterday morning that someone was making trouble at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and you saw these two at that time. ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Hearing this, the "Meat Ball" City Lord's face showed a sudden look, "I said, I just think you are very familiar, it turns out that I just met you yesterday! Hehe, you have changed your clothes, and there are two people here today, I didn't even recognize you for a while and a half just now!"
On the other side, Leach and Saya were ready to do it at any time, but they didn't expect to usher in such a result, and they couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.
The "Meat Ball" City Lord thought that the two of them were worried that they would be punished for this, so he hurriedly explained: "Don't be nervous, you two came over yesterday morning, I happened to be standing by the window watching the scenery, so I saw everything that happened at that time!"
After he said this, Leach just breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart rose again, after all, judging from the situation at that time, it was very similar that the five of them kidnapped a little girl in front of a large group of city lord's palace guards, this is much more serious than simply robbing things, should they become prisoners because of this, right?
