Chapter Seventy-One: Cooperation
"When you become the Lord of the West, I will naturally surrender to you." "But for now, you'd better stop dreaming like that." But if it's true, I can join forces with you for the time being to deal with Davy. ”
"That's your ultimate answer? Don't you think about it anymore, you can't be loyal to my brother anyway, standing on my side now, and then taking refuge in me after the dust settles, the rewards you can get are completely different, even if you don't think about yourself, don't you care about the interests of the family? ”
"I can't trust you." The girl's answer was simple.
Huls raised an eyebrow, "Is it because I spoke ill of your father?" ”
"That's right."
"Didn't your father tell you that as a lord, it was best not to be emotional?"
"Before he could teach me, you murdered me." Ilea said coldly, "So I really don't understand this now. ”
“…………”
Hulse looked at the girl first, then at Li Yu beside her, and then sighed.
"Do you know, I actually made up my mind before I came, and if you don't agree to any of the two conditions offered, I won't hand over Karoman to you, but...... Now I've changed my mind, it's better to have more friends than enemies.
"Congratulations, Carroman's yours, I'll tell you where I hid him."
"When I meet someone, I'll have someone bring you the recording." Li Yu said.
"I'm glad we reached a consensus. When you're ready to have a showdown with my brother, I'll give you another gift. ”
Seeing that everything that should be discussed was settled, Hulse stopped lingering and hurriedly left the Grizzly Tavern.
And as soon as he stepped out of the door, a carriage came out of nowhere.
As soon as Hulse got into the carriage, the carriage quickly disappeared into the street.
After changing his car and clothes a few times, Hulse returned to the place where he had been hiding and went straight to Romero's study without resting.
And the treasurer of Rock Snow City was tasting a barrel of wine that had been treasured before.
Seeing Huls rushing in, he pointed to the other cup in front of him, "It's for you, celebrate that you're about to see the light of day again!" ”
"You're still in the mood for a drink?!"
"Isn't it going well," Romero was a little surprised, "Didn't we analyze it before, that little girl from the Arias family shouldn't have any other choice but to join us, or did she get scared and decided to give up avenging her father?" ”
"No, we've made a deal, and she agreed to tell me the contents of that voice in exchange for Carroman, but she didn't want to use it for me, and slapped me."
Hulse's face was gloomy, and he took off the hood on his head, revealing the four fingerprints on his cheeks, which were still clearly visible when the girl struck with a lot of force.
As a member of the Figuerala family, Hulse grew up with no such insult.
Romero was also stunned when he saw the injury on his face, "Why did she hit you?" ”
"Because she thinks I'm speaking ill of her father."
"Uh...... Is this new head of the Arias family so uncool? ”
"Romero, you, like everyone else, have been fascinated by her dragon-slaying exploits, but after my brief contact with her, I can conclude that the truly powerful one is the prophet named Merlin next to her."
After Hulse finished speaking, he noticed that the treasurer's gaze was a little strange, so he frowned and said, "What's wrong?" ”
"To be honest, it was a bit of a surprise that you were so calm," Goldfinger said, "that little girl named Ilea beat you and then refused to join you, and you are still willing to cooperate with her......
"While we did discuss that handing Carroman to her was the way to go. But this time, you are willing to make such a big sacrifice for the sake of the overall situation. ”
"It's not that I'm willing to swallow this breath, it's that I have to." "Merlin knows the relationship between you and me. ”
"What?!" Romero's reaction was similar to Hulse's when he first heard the news, and he was stunned.
Huls continued, "You'll have to check the people in your mansion. ”
"I know that the people you are hiding here are my henchmen, and they will never betray me."
"Nothing in this world is absolute, especially for people like you and me. You should know that, Romero. ”
The treasurer was still shaking his head, "There is no problem with my henchmen, otherwise you would have been arrested by David a long time ago, could it be that the person who delivered the letter for you last night was exposed?" ”
"It's even more unlikely." Hulse said flatly, "They are all dead soldiers who have been carefully selected by me, and they have undergone extremely rigorous training, and no one can follow them without them noticing.
"Not to mention that I changed people in the middle of the process, even if someone is really following them, they should be following the wrong person later."
Romero was convinced after hesitating when he saw what Hulse said, "Well, I'll investigate everyone who knows you're hiding here." ”
"Although Ireya probably won't betray me, I'm going to be cautious and I'm going to change places in the future."
The treasurer nodded, "I'll arrange it." ”
"No, I'll do it myself this time." Huls was also frightened, Li Yu mastered the relationship between him and Romero, which is equivalent to mastering his hiding place for a while before.
In other words, if it weren't for the fact that Ilea had already become suspicious of David, he would have been arrested now.
Moreover, the control of the Grizzly Tavern on the other side was far beyond his expectations, and the two sides talked for quite some time, but David's cavalry did not show up for a long time.
Hulse even had a hunch that if they didn't get along, he might not be able to get out of the tavern safely.
That's why he agreed so happily at the end.
Yes, Hulse was not as confident as he had been before he went out, and felt that Romero's hiding in the tavern was enough to protect him.
On the other side, Miss Rabbit also successfully found the long-missing Carroman according to the address left by Hulse.
By mistake, the cow that was blown out for Li Yu and Saturday was rounded back again.
Looking at the direct murderer of her father, Miss Rabbit's heart is much calmer than she imagined, perhaps because Carroman looks so embarrassed and embarrassed now.
Not only did he escape in the wilderness for several days, but after being caught by Hulse's men, he obviously did not suffer less, Hulse was not a soft-hearted person, and in order to torture and find out the information, Carroman suffered a lot, perhaps to prevent him from fighting back and escaping, the guards also cut off the right hand of the owner of the Acorn Castle holding the sword.
