Chapter 297: Midsummer Night Carnival (6)
By the time Donner reappeared in his neat and clean robes, Bran was the first to stand up. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"John, you're fine, you were so worried about us just now!" he stroked his chest, as if he was worried.
"Thanks to my luck, I almost got killed by that old guy......" Donner's face showed the tension of the rest of his life.
Zoe then asked, "Did you know that Ellie and that old madman were taken away by Miko?"
"Yes," Donner said with a glance at Wesley, shrugging his shoulders, "otherwise, how dare I come back......
By this time, Una had already sat down next to Layla, her face still a little frightened.
"John, you're in good luck......" Cross said with a smile. Ever since Donner returned, he'd been paying attention to his expression.
"Haha, you just didn't meet me when I was unlucky. Donner replied with a smile.
"yes, who can do everything as they want...... Cross sighed.
It was probably his emotion that hit the hearts of Bran and the others, and the atmosphere suddenly calmed down, and no one spoke anymore.
At this time, the musicians on the side also happened to play a soothing tune.
The bonfire was reflected on the young faces, and the melancholy that had risen for a while was particularly conspicuous.
Donner was the first to break the silence, only to see him walk up to Bran and say with a smile, "You won't mind inviting your female companion to do a dance, right?"
Brandha smiled, "As long as you return it." ”
Donner smiled and nodded, and reached out to Leona, who hesitated for a moment before placing his palm on Donner's hand, and then being pulled up.
The two of them walked towards the bank of the river, and only stopped until they were far away from the campfire, and gently swayed to the soothing rhythm of the music.
"I wouldn't have said yes if I had known he was going to hide so far......" Bran grumbled half-jokingly at Cross, who smiled and didn't answer.
Donner looked at Leona with interest and asked, "You asked Bran to ask me out, didn't it be to cooperate with the conspiracy of the Cormier family?"
"No, no," Leona quickly defended, "I had no idea beforehand that they would trouble you tonight. ”
"I think so......," Donner smiled and nodded, the Cormiers could not have known about his relationship with Leona, and there was no need to bother with it - it would have been easier for them to do so if he had stayed at the manor tonight.
“...... How did you come to know Cross?" asked Leona suddenly.
"So, you've heard of him, too?" asked Donner rhetorically.
"I've heard my father tell me about him, he's mysterious......" Leona replied.
"I have a lot of friends," Donner curled his mouth, "he's just one of them." ”
"It seems that the claims about you from the Sacred Court of Fire are not very credible?" Leona said, of course, referring to John Smith's childhood in solitary confinement and rarely seeing people.
"Haven't you been idle all these days?" said Donner, sneering.
"You're asking for too harsh conditions, and we have to think about it, and that includes knowing what you're capable of, isn't it?" Leona's expression became serious.
"Then you asked me out, should you think it through?"
"It's not me who ...... appointment"
Donner didn't give her a chance to continue, and directly interrupted, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
Leona's face changed, and she said slowly: "That's right, it was my idea to ask you out, but your previous conditions, I ...... My father couldn't do it. ”
"Very well, that's what a negotiation looks like...... Tell me, what's your father's condition?" said Donner, laughing.
"Three bottles of seventh-level elixir, as long as we get a cloud peak under the jurisdiction of the Earth Sacred Academy, we can give it to you immediately. Leona's tone was firm.
"Don't you think I should have more chips after tonight?" Donner asked meaningfully.
"If you're referring to Crossshanson, I have to warn you that you've just made a feud with the Brown family, and their family is much more powerful than Cross. Leona reminded.
"Leona, Leona," Donner shook his head in disappointment as if facing a student who was not angry, "You sometimes seem to be smart, but you lack the eye to see the key...... So much so that they often make ridiculously wrong judgments. ”
"Don't be foolish...... Leona glanced at him, deliberately turning her head to look away.
"Hey......" Donner still shook his head, "I ask you, both Avery and Márquez have been taken away by the Son of God, what do you think the Holy See will do with them?"
"Avery is right...... Besides, the Cormier family was already targeted by the Holy See. Leona gave Donner a contemptuous look, as if she didn't shy away from his question.
"If the Cormiers are responsible for tonight's events, they're probably going to be wiped ......out," Donald said.
"Is there any doubt about that?" asked Leona with a sneer.
"So do you think Márquez will fight to the death and report to the Holy See that Avery was originally with them in order to deal with me tonight? Don't you say, you didn't see it?" asked Donner with a smile.
"Why did the Holy See believe him? And so many people saw that it was the Cormier family who attacked him first. Leona's expression became a little more serious.
"You're right, so many people have seen it, and Ellie will fight back because he is angry...... Then again, something seems wrong here, don't you think?" Donner said tentatively.
"What's this, a gentleman like him, how can you have such a deep scheming, if you are beaten, of course you will fight back as soon as possible. Leona sneered.
Donner nodded slightly, as long as most people think like Leona, there will be no loopholes in tonight's affairs.
However, this has nothing to do with the logic he wants to explain to Leona.
"I guess the Holy See will call witnesses when they try Avery and Márquez, and the most important one of them is me, believe it or not?" Donner asked with a smile.
Leona frowned suddenly.
Donner is right, when Márquez is facing the disaster of extermination, he will definitely fight the trapped beast and bite Eri back. And the scuffle between them was started by Donner, and the most critical witness was naturally him.
In other words, Avery is not completely responsible, and it is possible that in the end, all he needs is a word from Donner.
If things do go in this direction in the end, the Brown family will not only not make enemies with him, but will have to show favor to him.
In Leona's eyes, this was only a possibility, but in Donner's eyes, the outcome was already unmistakable.
Whether it is the Holy See or Ellie, it is all under his control, and it is not entirely up to his will to decide in which direction things will develop.
"I don't know when the Holy See will judge them, but I suggest you wait, and if it turns out as I expected, let your father reconsider how much he is willing to pay. Downer laughs and says, "Remember, a mountain on the clouds is only the first step......"
Leona stared at Donner's face as if she had just met each other.
He is the son of Constantine, but he has an unusual relationship with Shaida, the little witch of the House of Lega, and he is a friend of the Winds House Crossshandson, and he has the friendship of the Brown family of the Spring Temple.
Moreover, he was also full of confidence in setting aside a cloud mountain peak from the jurisdiction of the Earth Sacred Academy.
In the eyes of others, this John Smith, who was willing to fall at a young age and did not hesitate to join the Overseer Society in order to survive, in fact, with the power of one person, he was able to penetrate his influence into the four holy courtyards.
If it is really as he said, then such a collaborator is indeed worth making friends at all costs.
Thinking of this, Leona was suddenly taken aback, the most important point, she hadn't thought of just now.
If the final judgment of the Holy See is indeed as he expected, this John Smith is too ...... It's horrible!
He could actually piece together the final ending from a little clue! Then he thought that he was the top of the five academies examination and the winner of the demon hunting assessment.
Leona, who had always been conceited, suddenly felt that she might really be just a fool who thought she was smart, as the other party said.
