Chapter 224: Displeasure Talk
Hearing this, Chino deliberately showed an extremely shocked expression: "What? Erin looking for an assassin to kill me?! Is she crazy?! β
Grabo saw Chino's reaction, and immediately frowned: "You don't know about this?" β
Chino's eyes were innocent and innocent: "Do you look like I know?" β
"That's even weirder! When Erin told me about this, she mentioned her deal with the Desert Assassin Order, and according to the contract, the deadline was the 30th day of Dettol this year! Grabo banged his knuckles on the table and said heavily, "Theoretically, you should be dead by now!" β
Chino smiled briefly: "What?" Are you very unhappy that I'm alive? β
Grabo shook his head: "Let me make it clear first, you and I have no holidays, and I personally have no problem with you. It's just that Erin is very strange about this, and I wouldn't be surprised if you were attacked by an assassin and escaped by chance. β
"But you said you didn't know about it, which means that the Assassins didn't come looking for you at all, which doesn't make sense."
Chino shrugged: "There are many possibilities, such as Erin later regained her senses and canceled the commission, but she didn't have time to tell you; Another example is that the Assassin Order feared my identity, broke the contract temporarily, and ran away with the moneyβyou can't expect these outlaws to be very honest. β
"Now that Erin is dead, the truth is unknown, so let's not pursue these things that are in the past, what do you say?"
Grabo's voice weakened, "I've reported this matter to the Governor's Palace..."
The smile on Chino's face slowly disappeared: "Have you ever heard a word?" Let a sleeping dog lie. β
Judging from Grabo's expression, he was also very remorseful now, and said irritably: "The governor's palace... I thought they'd give me a credit and send someone to check it myself... As a result, a decree came down, and I was asked to find out about it myself... I can only come to you to discuss, after all, you are one of the parties. β
Chino shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I can't help it, like I said, until you tell me, I didn't know that Erin hired assassins to kill me, and I don't know anything else." β
"I've come all the way to Twilight, you can't let me run for nothing! We must... ! Can you stop playing with that cat! Grabo slapped the table in a rage and yelled, "We need to find the Assassin hired by Erin immediately, maybe her death has something to do with that Assassin!" β
The little black cat in Chino's arms looked up at Grabo, her vertical pupils shrank slightly, her sharp tiger teeth bared out, and she let out a fierce sigh.
Grabo angrily pointed at the little black cat: "It kills me?!" β
Chino touched the cat's head: "You misunderstood, it's saying hello." β
Grabo obviously didn't have a cat, so he was stunned.
"Ha-" The little black cat is milky and fierce, and there seems to be a killing intent to hunt prey in the voice, and the claws that are collected into the meat pad are also slowly poking out, extremely sharp.
Grabo's eyes widened, "Are you sure this is saying hello??? β
"Of course I'm sure, my cat, can I not know?" Chino rubbed the little black cat's pad and pushed its paws back.
"Meow~" As soon as he was touched by Chino, the little black cat suddenly put away his fierce appearance, kept rubbing his hand with his head, and stepped on the milk under his paws.
Chino touched the cat and said lightly: "Since you want my cooperation, then you should at least bring a plan, which can't let me think about it, right?" β
Grabo withdrew his gaze from the little black cat and said in a deep voice: "I have thought about it, the Desert Assassin Organization is elusive, and Erin didn't tell me how to contact them, so it is difficult for me to find them directly, in other words, I can't find the assassin." β
"But the orders of the Governor's Palace cannot be ignored, and we must hand over this 'assassin'."
Chino: "What do you mean..."
Grabo: "It's simple, I'll hire someone to assassinate you, and then we'll arrest him together, bite him to death and send him to the Doge's Mansion to be punished." β
Chino was directly amused: "You are really a little genius!" Hire someone to kill me? What if he does succeed? β
Grabo said impatiently, "I'm not going to look for a real assassin." Let's just find a random civilian who has children and daughters, but is terminally ill and willing to trade his life for money, and then stuff a few hundred silver moons. β
"This kind of people are all over the streets, how many civilians want to exchange their lives for the silver moon and don't have a chance! You and I will each give 200 silver moons, and I promise you that a large number of people will rush to do this work, and just buy one of them and send them to the governor's palace to confess their crimes. β
Chino: "Then have you ever thought that if the Governor's Palace uses torture during the interrogation, this substitute ghost can't bear the pain and confesses this matter, you and I will be doomed." β
Grabo was silent, apparently his below-average head hadn't thought about it.
Grabo kept muttering: "Wouldn't it be okay to do more insurance measures?" Warn him in advance that if he dares to confess us, he will directly destroy his family tree and slaughter the old and the young. β
Chino: "The risk is still very high, the executioners of the Governor's Palace are professionally trained, and they are extremely good at abusive and psychological abuse. When a person is tortured to the point of collapse, the first thing that comes to mind is liberation, not family. β
"What if he really confessed, and you just destroyed his family tree? No matter how many people you kill, can you recover my losses? If this matter is gone, you and I will be removed from the kingdom. β
Chino's words really made Grabo stunned, he thought for a moment, and continued: "In that case, I will find a way to hire a real assassin to kill you in the name of Irene. You are a transcendent being, not afraid of assassination, we have teamed up to arrest the real assassin and send him to the Governor's Mansion to be punished, and biting him to death is the real murderer of Erin. Anyway, no one has ever seen what the real murderer looks like, and he can't tell if he is justified. β
The little black cat bared its teeth again: "Ha-"
Grabo was furious: "Why does it always say hello to me?!" β
"Because even my cat is stupid by you." Chino frowned, shook his head, and said, "I see that you never put yourself in someone else's shoes. Not to mention that this plan is full of loopholes, if you go find a real assassin to kill me, what if I am an extraordinary one? β
"These assassins are always attacking from behind, can I tighten my nerves 24 hours a day and keep an eye on my back? And even if I could, how much energy would it cost? Why should I bother with such a thing? β
"Bang!"
"Just because I'm the son of a warrior under the sword and shield!" Grabo slapped the table hard and said angrily, "This is the Beacon Province, and if you want to gain a foothold here, you must come to curry favor with our Trojan family!" Gotta come and please me! Listen to me for everything! β
Chino looked at him like he was looking at an incompetent and angry clown: "My connections may be wider than you think." β
Grabo was like an angry bull at this time, and even his breathing became extremely heavy, and he pointed to Chino's nose and said, "If you refuse me, you will definitely regret it later!" β
"Goodbye, Administrator Grabo, don't send me off." Chino directly ordered the eviction, picked up the little black cat with his backhand, and kept teasing its chin.
In the face of the administrator of the same level, Grabo really couldn't do anything else except use his identity to threaten him, so he could only glare at Chino one last and leave angrily.
Grabo opened the door with great force, and was about to walk out, when he suddenly noticed that there was someone outside the door, and he didn't have time to stop his pace, and collided with the other party, and fell to the ground.
Grabo covered his head and just wanted to scold, but he was stunned.
The person he bumped into was actually the red-haired girl who was knocking off his front teeth on the street!
