Chapter 7: The Truth
In the town of Calus in the Free Frontier, in the council hall of the Frontier Ranger Branch, Baggio, Carmen Alicia and others gathered here, and Joey Gray stood in the middle of the council chamber, everyone was looking at him with judgmental eyes, Joey Gray lowered his head, his body trembled uncontrollably, he didn't dare to raise his eyes at Baggio, and Bagio looked at him coldly.

"Joy Gray, I haven't seen you in a long time, and looking at you, you've not been doing well lately. The first to speak was Tully, who sneered and looked at Joey Gray, who didn't dare to catch his breath.
When the Frey family used a conspiracy to usurp the rule of the Barbayaro family, Joey Gray showed off his might in front of Tully, and even if Tully forgot this, Joey Gray himself would not forget it.
"I ...... I have not committed any crime! Why are you arresting me?" said Joey Gray after a fierce ideological struggle.
"Hey!"
At this time, Lee Rihanna sneered, Joey Gray looked at her with fear, Rihanna and Joey Gray chased for a long time like cats and rats, starting from Hellas Bay until the free city-state of Riverside, Rihanna caught Joey Gray.
"You weren't in Anemone City in Hellas Bay, that's not what you said. Rihanna said with a sneer, she looked at Joey Gray coldly, her eyes fierce, as if she was going to kill him immediately.
"You heard me wrong! You heard me wrong! I didn't say anything!" Joy Gray screamed, but everyone here could see the fear on his face.
"What did he say?" said Baggio coldly, his eyes never taking off Joey Gray's body, for he knew that Joey Gray must have known the truth about what he had been wronged against.
He was in the tavern in Anemone City, boasting to the pirates that he was the youngest daughter of the Midtown Federal Fonta family. Rihanna gritted her teeth and said fiercely.
The youngest daughter of the Fonta family, Fonta Lilia, was in Garrin Harbor a few years ago, and it was because of Fonta Lilia's tragic death that Baggio lost everything.
Rihanna looked at Joey Gray coldly, Joey Gray bit his lip, feeling that his lips were about to be bitten by himself, and Bagio knew why Rihanna was so angry, because Rihanna and Lilia used to be the best friends.
"You heard me wrong! I didn't say anything like that!" Joey Gray still screamed in denial, but that only added to the look of disgust from the crowd.
"Hmph, do you still want to be hard-mouthed?Butch, what are we going to do?" Rihanna sneered again, she looked at Baggio, who walked up to Joey Gray with a solemn face, and looked at him coldly, looking at Joy Gray's whole body.
Baggio looked at Alicia again, and Alicia nodded slightly at him, and Baggio nodded gratefully in response, and he finally looked at Joey Gray in front of him.
"Black Snake, please lend me your dagger, I may stain your dagger, I hope you don't mind. Baggio looked at Joey Gray coldly, but he spoke to Christine.
Christine didn't say anything, she didn't want to say much, Christine just walked up to Baggio's side gently, then put her dagger in Baggio's hand, and retreated into the corner again.
Bagio held Christine's dagger and rubbed it in his hand, Christine's dagger was unusually sharp, although it was not a valuable weapon, but it was a sharp weapon for killing.
Joey Gray stole a glance at the dagger in Baggio's hand, he swallowed in fear, and cold sweat flowed down his body, while Bagio just looked at it coldly.
"I'll say it again, tell me all the truth. Bagio said coldly, without a trace of emotion in his words, Alicia on the side looked at Bagio, she could feel the sadness in Bagio's heart, and she felt sad on behalf of Baggio.
"I ...... I really don't know anything!" cried Joy Gray in pain.
Bagio shook his head slightly, he grabbed Joey Gray's head, Joy Gray was unable to struggle because he was being handcuffed by the back, Baggio took the knife in his hand, and he used the dagger to cut off one of Joey Gray's ears.
"Ahh
Joey Gray screamed in pain, his ears were bleeding, but his arms were being cuffed backwards, he couldn't cover the wounds with his hands, he could only roll on the ground in pain.
"Tell me the truth, or I'll cut off your other ear!" Baggio roared angrily.
Everyone present looked at all this coldly, and they did not have the slightest sympathy for Joy Gray, because everyone knew that Joy Gray was to blame.
"It's not my fault! It's not my fault! It's all their doing! I'm just being dragged into it!" cried out Joey Gray in pain.
Knowing that he had opened the gap, Bagio nodded to his subordinate Najisha, who immediately approached Joey Gray, a snake man who was not only a great ranger, but also a profound student of herbology.
Najisha grabbed Joey Gray and covered his severed ear with a thick layer of powder, known as coagulant powder, which was effective in stopping blood, and was much more potent than hemostatic ointment, which was developed by Misty and Najisha and has now become the standard potion for the Rangers of the Borderlands.
Joey Gray, who stopped the bleeding, collapsed on the ground, panting for breath, and Bagio just looked at him coldly, waiting for his confession, Joey Gray glanced at Bagio, who was still holding a dagger, and suddenly trembled all over.
"The ...... that designed to frame you back then There are three main people...... They are Fonta Jacques, Frey Green, and ...... Your brother Lee Coriano. ”
As soon as Joey Gray's words came out, Bagio and Rihanna were shocked, first of all, Fonta Jecca really participated in the mutilation of his sister, which was very surprising to them, you know, in the entire Fonta family, Fonta Lilia may be the only person who is friendly to Fonta Jecca, and as a result, Fonta Jecca let Lilia die like this.
What makes Baggio and Rihanna feel even more unacceptable is that Coriano was also involved, although Coriano was bent on killing Baggio later, but when you were in Harbor Garrin, Coriano finally desperately protected Baggio and escaped, how could Bagio and Rihanna accept such a truth.
"No way! Cory, how could he ...... At least Corey at that time...... At that time, Corey was thinking about family affection!" Rihanna didn't want to believe that Coriano was involved in framing Baggio, and Bagio gritted his teeth, and he didn't want to believe this.
"That's it...... I have no reason to lie to you, don't you think it's strange, Baggio, when investigating Green, it was Coriano who went to tell the people that Green had attacked him, but in reality?" Joey Gray's words undoubtedly stung Bagio and Rihanna deeply, Rihanna leaned back in her chair, covering her forehead, her heart was sad, and Bagio accepted it all in despair.
"Who came up with the plan?" asked Bagio coldly, everyone could hear Baggio's tone at this time, very cold, cold and piercing.
"It was Green, Frey Green, who designed the plan. Joy Gray said.
"And then?" asked Baggio.
Green then approached Fonta Jeca, who came with Coriano, who at first did not agree to the plan, he did not want to sacrifice Fonta Lilia, and Fonta Jecca naively wanted to find a maid to complete the plan. Joy Gray confessed.
"Lilia represents the last shred of Fonta Jacca's humanity...... It's a pity that the last trace of humanity has not been retained. Baggio said sadly.
"But do you know who took away the last shred of Fonta Jacca's humanity?" Joey Gray actually sneered at this time, he was still in the mood to sneer at this time, so you can know how ridiculous this is, of course, everyone present guessed who that person was.
"Cory......" Baggio said with a wry smile.
"Yes, it was Coriano, who clearly told Fonta Jecca that if you only use one maid, you can't hit your position, and if you only use one maid, then the Fonta family will blame you, but they will also try their best to protect you, so only by using Fonta Lilia can you completely lose everything. Joey Gray told the cruel truth.
Maybe Coriano finally protected Baggio to escape, that was the last guilt that Coriano retained, maybe Coriano at that time, just hoped that Baggio would collapse completely, and did not want to really take his life, but this last emotion was also lost in the end, Baggio still remembered how much Coriano wanted Baggio's life in the war in the Cloe Passage.
"So...... Lilia is a victim?" Baggio said with a wry smile.
"Yes, me, Green, and your brother Coriano, the three of us ** Fonta Lilia, when we first faced the woman of the Fonta family, Green and I hesitated, but your brother is really not afraid, he was the first to tear the girl's clothes. Marcie Grey's revelation made Baggio sick, and Baggio was even more furious at the thought of Fonta Alice marrying such a brute.
"What about Fonta Jacca, what was he doing then?" asked Baggio in a sad tone.
"Fonta Jaca didn't want to see Fonta Lilia's fate, so he offered to bring someone to ambush you beforehand, also to hold you back and buy us more time. Joy Gray said.
Baggio even thought at this time that even a person like Fonta Jaca was far more humane than Coriano, and that Baggio's fate was miserable, but wasn't what happened to Lilia even more tragic? Bagio could even feel the helplessness and pain that Lilia felt at that time.
"I'm going to make you pay! I'm going to make you all pay!" Baggio gritted his teeth and roared angrily, Rihanna looked at her eldest brother Baggio with tears in her eyes, and everyone present looked at Baggio.
"I'm just a participant...... I'm not to blame...... You can let me go......" Joy Gray was terrified at the sight of the enraged Baggio, and he began to ask for Baggio's forgiveness.
"Huh, participant, did you think that you would one day be punished when you ruined Lilia, and you will repent of your sins in hell!" Baggio roared, and suddenly stabbed the dagger, which sank into Joey Gray's lower abdomen, and Joy Gray looked at Baggio in pain before falling to the ground.
Baggio looked up and looked at Alicia, who didn't blame Baggio, and Alicia's face was sad for Baggio, sad for the girl she didn't know, Fonta Lilia.
"I'm sorry, little Ellie, I'm leaving the Free Frontiers for a while. Baggio said apologetically, looking at Alicia with a lot of discomfort in his heart.
"Don't worry, do what you want to do, Butch, the Free Frontier will be your strongest backing. Alicia whispered, secretly determined to support Baggio's actions.
"Butch ...... I'll go with you too!" Rihanna gritted her teeth, she also wanted to avenge Lilia, and she also wanted to ask Coriano for what she had done.
"No, Rihanna, you know I'm going to be with Coriano...... I don't want you to see this, you stay, little Ellie needs your help, in the town of Polipoli in the Free Frontier, I need an archmage to help deal with the sea monsters, I think you will help little Ellie. Speaking of which, Bagio glanced at Alicia, and Alicia nodded slightly, obviously Bagio saw what Alicia meant, and the two of them knew each other.
"Don't worry, Butch, we'll all take good care of Rihanna. Before Rihanna could speak, Tali replied in a loud voice, and Baggio nodded gratefully at Tully.
"Butch ...... Take your squad with you, and the enemies you will face are not to be underestimated. Alicia whispered, as Bagio glanced at the members of his squad.
"Lord Baggio, we will follow you to the death!" shouted Islo, Najisha, Mihawk, and Ron almost simultaneously, and Baggio was impressed by this, he now had the best squad available.
"I'm sorry to Old Axe, I'm afraid I won't be able to take part in his important campaign to reclaim the King's Hills. Bagio said to Alicia with a wry smile.
"Don't worry, Butch, Lord Silveraxe will understand you, you are also fighting, this is your important battle, it is no easier than Lord Silveraxe's battle. Alicia said softly.
"Thank you...... Little Ellie...... Thank you......" Baggio said gratefully.
At this time, Alicia slowly walked to Baggio's side, Baggio looked at Alicia, and Alicia also looked at Baggio, suddenly, Alicia stood on tiptoe, hugged Baggio, and kissed him hard, Baggio was slightly stunned, and then he was beside him, hugged Alicia, and kissed him.
Tully and the others all looked at Bagio and Alicia with a smile, and no one spoke in the council room, and at this time, everyone did not need to speak.
"Come back alive......"
"Definitely!"
