Chapter 70: Taking the Initiative
At this time, a rainy night.
It's been two days since we last met Partridge.
In the past two days, Alves and Haruto Mimori have been staying at the hotel and have not left.
At the same time, Alves also received a report from Kashi Dourou that the Hachiya Wine Gang had been removed from the Athletic City, and almost all the core members, including the head of the family, Daigo Hachiya Saku, had been killed, but Mamiko and Dakel were not heard.
As for the escape.
Or killed in that corner.
Hua Shi Doulang didn't know, and Alves felt a little pity when he heard it.
If his previous strength was stronger, he would definitely help Mamiko, but unfortunately he didn't ......
"Ding-dong-"
Hearing the doorbell ringing, Alves and Haruto Mimori, who were enjoying the food, paused the movements in their hands at the same time, and looked up at each other slightly.
"Haruto, go open the door!"
Alves gave an order to Haruto Mimori.
"Yes, Chief!"
Mimori Haruto got up, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw the two figures outside the door.
"Jack, what's the matter?"
It was none other than Jack and Partridge.
Before Jack could speak, Partridge, who was in a wheelchair, spoke, and said, "Alves should be here!" ”
Mimori Haruto glanced at him, and then said, "Please come in!" ”
After the two entered the house, Mimori Haruto also closed the door again, and Alves also twisted his head when he heard the movement, and saw the visitor clearly.
"Mr. Partridge, Jack, are you looking for me?"
Alves's attitude at this time made Jack's heart suddenly change, and the primary and secondary status between them had changed!
Two days ago, when Alves, led by Saberina and Jack, met Partridge, who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, now Alves is in charge.
Partridge took a deep breath, then said to Alves, who was dining, "We came here this time to complete the deal we talked about last time with you. ”
Alves' gaze glanced over and said, "I'm going to take your life first, agree?" ”
The underlying implication of this is that Partridge doesn't agree, so there's no need to talk about it.
Jack stood up at this time and said, "Mr. Partridge wants to buy the information in your hand, make a price!" ”
Alves smiled and put down the knife and fork, wiped his mouth, just when Jack thought Alves would agree, but unexpectedly Alves looked at Partridge and said seriously: "I want Mr. Partridge's life, give?" ”
Jack's pupils shrank, and then he showed a dangerous gaze, and before he could speak, Partridge said calmly, "Can I promise you that we can talk now?" ”
Alves stood up with a smile and said, "Of course." ”
As he walked to the living room, Alves gave an order to Haruto Mimori.
After he sat down on the couch, Haruto Mimori also put a glass of water with leaves in front of Alves.
Alves then said, "Mr. Partridge, before the trade begins, you don't mind if I make sure that your mind belongs to the trait system, right?" ”
Partridge said lightly, "No problem. ”
Jack pushed Partridge closer, and Partridge held out his remaining left hand toward the glass of water.
Before he came over, Partridge had already figured out the price he had to pay if he wanted Alves' help.
Death, he was ready.
It has been prepared for a long time.
As Partridge performed the water test, Alves saw a humanoid silhouette with an indistinguishable face appear in the glass of water.
Trait system!
Undoubtedly.
Suddenly, Alves' face was full of smiles, he raised his head, and said softly, "Talk alone?" ”
When Jack heard Alves's words, he immediately became angry and said, "You ......"
It's just that as soon as he blurted out his words, he was interrupted by Partridge raising his hand and said, "Jack, please go out for a while." ”
Jack frowned and said, "Partridge ...... first"
He said it, but seeing that Partridge shook his head gently, he didn't go on, but said, "I'll wait outside the door." ”
Before turning to leave, Jack glared at Alves angrily, but Alves turned a blind eye to this, turned his head to Haruto Mimori and said, "Haruto." ”
Mimori Haruto understood and said, "Yes, chief!" ”
Harusto Mimori and Jack stand one door away from each other on the inside and outside of the room.
Alves' gaze fell on Partridge and said with a faint smile: "Mr. Partridge, you can now say what you want." ”
Partridge looked at Alves and didn't get into the subject, but asked, "Interested in hearing my story?" ”
Alves kept a faint smile and didn't speak, not minding to hear the story of the old man in front of him.
"When I was 8 years old, I was picked up by the old Countess and returned to the Earl's Court as a servant......"
For nearly half an hour, Partridge kept telling his life experience, and Alves seemed to be listening to a piece of history.
Ever since Partridge was picked up by the old Countess at the age of 8, he had been serving the Earl's Court, and by chance he woke up to his mind.
At the age of 30, the old earl and the old countess died one after another, and he went from the lowest servant to the chief steward of the earl's court, and at the same time had his own wife and children.
After decades of ups and downs, Partridge served the four earls of the Arnold family before and after, and it was definitely a hard work.
However, two years ago, one of the members of the Phantom Brigade had provoked the young Earl, who had spent a lot of money to hire a hitman to kill him.
Later, the Phantom Brigade gathered for revenge, and the Court of Arnold fell into history, and Partridge's legs and right hand were lost at that time.
In this disaster, Partridge also lost all his family, and he also relied on his own telepathy to survive at that time.
Later, after waking up in the hospital, Partridge knew that he would not be able to take revenge on the Phantom Brigade, so he took out his life savings and prepared to issue a bounty order against the Phantom Brigade in the dark world.
It was at this time that he discovered that Jack, whom he had rescued when he was young, had gone from a child to the head of the Thousand Ears Society in the Cecil Kingdom region.
Later, Partridge issued the bounty order to the Thousand Ears Club, but for more than a year, it has never had any effect.
Not to mention the people who received the mission, not even the people who sold news and intelligence about the Phantom Brigade.
Then, there is the story of Alves coming to the kingdom of Cecil and appearing on the face of Patrick.
