Chapter 146: Promise
"Well, even so, but ...... What does this have to do with me accepting a commission from your Cole family?" the skeleton chuckled, "Tell me...... It seems that I just need to protect my son!As for your Cole family...... I don't think I need to go too deep into it, do I?"
"Didn't I just say that?--help my Cole family to find the real murderer of my patriarch...... It's all for her!" said the old man, pointing to her gravely, "to know how much of her secret has been revealed, whether it is to find the murderer or resurrect Andrea's father...... All of this is imperative! Only after knowing the information they have can we proceed with the next step! -- whether offensive or defensive...... You have to know their 'progress' before you can really go ahead and make a plan accordingly!"
"You say that...... That's right!" The skeleton frowned, and couldn't help but feel a little tangled in his heart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In all fairness, the skeletons really don't want to get involved in the mess of the Cole family, not only because of the reason for going to Glinta to find Nereus, but most importantly, because the Cole family itself is very complicated - the skeletons really don't want to participate in this kind of "quagmire" with many factions and redundant members to deal with the incident!
"At the beginning...... Those people used my recovery as bait to lure Andrea's father to 'follow' him, and it was ...... It is precisely because of this that we still can't be sure of Andrea's father...... Did he leak Dongfang Lingyun's information? If so, how much was leaked? And those guys who worked hard to track down Dongfang Lingyun's whereabouts...... How much information does Dongfang Lingyun have?" Facing the uncertain skeleton, the old man smiled indifferently and quietly lit a "handful" fire again, "And the certainty of these things is really related to her future safety!"
"Now it seems...... I don't seem to have a choice—even though I know there are too many misleading things in your words, but ...... It's a matter of me, I have to be cautious!" The skeleton smiled bitterly, looked at the old man seriously, and said, "So...... Your request...... I promised!--but...... Although I have agreed to your request, ...... There is one thing I think I need to tell you beforehand!"
"Which one?--as long as my Cole family can do it, I can agree!" The old man's chest beat with a shocking sound, and he had a heroic posture of "responding to requests".
"Although I have promised to help you Cole find the real culprit and resurrect Andrea's father, ...... If it comes to the internal affairs of your Cole family, I ...... Nothing!" The skeleton glanced at the old man deeply, and said firmly, "This muddy pond of your Cole family...... I don't want to get involved in it!---if it involves too much of your family's 'entanglements', I think, when the time comes...... I don't even know how I died!"
"You're laughing!---With your strength, the world is ...... Where can they go, and who ...... Can I get your life?" the old man complimented, "How can these 'little fish and shrimp' of our Cole family have the ability to get your life?"
"I'm a wasted man who has lost all my mana, how dare I go against them? If they can really put their hearts and minds to kill me with all their might, I ...... How could I have a chance to come to you?" the skeleton sneered, noncommittal to the old man's compliment, "Although I have a treasure by my side now, I ...... What I want you to know is that I'm a man who has lost all my mana...... You'd better not get your hopes up too much......! Noble Phantasms are only dead things, and people ...... But it's alive! If I meet a strong man like you did when you were at your peak, I want to ...... According to my current state...... Maybe the only way home is death?"
"Your thoughts are too negative!" said the old man with a wry smile, "no matter what, you shouldn't 'retreat' to such a point......, should you?" With this kind of treasure alone, you can easily dominate the world, right?--Even if I was at my peak...... I'm afraid I can get away unscathed, right?"
"So what?—as long as you are willing to be ruthless, how can you be sure that they can't invite an existence like you?" the skeleton said coldly, and said with a slight coldness, "You also said before that your Cole family is intricately intertwined, and maybe one of them is a spy of a top force......! It's hard for me not to die!"
"And what do you want?" the old man seemed to see through the skeleton's intentions, and promised indifferently but firmly, "as long as I have it...... You just mention it!"
"Well, then...... You're welcome!" Hearing the old man's promise, the skeleton smiled slightly, revealing a comfortable smile, "Those strong people you are hiding in the shadows...... Give me half!--Don't worry, I don't want them to use it for life, I just need them to protect me, to protect me...... until you regain your strength!"
"Yes!" the old man nodded and agreed directly, "Even if you don't ask for this, I will do it - your current mana has not yet recovered, and you still need to go to Grita to contact those suspects to investigate the cause of Andrea's father's death, and you also need to capture the murderer alive in order to obtain testimony and resurrect Andrea's father!
"Then thank you in advance, old patriarch!" the skeleton clenched his fists and demanded again, "I need a lot of money besides the guards!—I think that no one in this world will do anything with it...... As long as there are enough of them, what news can't be found?" )
