Chapter Fifty-Eight: Shit Luck
Looking at Sika and Anwen who fell to the ground, Xavier's heart was filled with extremely complicated feelings at the moment.
He didn't think that Sika would directly use that short sword to end his life.
The whole thing happened so suddenly that he didn't even have time to react, and the dagger was already in Sika's chest.
It also made his eyes full of disbelief.
But in an instant, he understood the reason again.
When Sika talked about Anwen, he had told Xavier that his son was his only pride.
Since the death of his wife, this only pride has become his reliance on barely surviving.
He knew very well what his son had done, but he still fantasized about whether Xavier and they could let Anwen go.
But at the last moment, the illusion broke in front of his eyes, and with an extremely unacceptable feeling, Sika finally chose to end his life.
So, is this a good thing or a bad thing for me?" Xavier couldn't help but close his eyes and his thoughts were distracted.
No, no, no, he shook his head three times in a row, for Nord, for the people who died, for the families of those who were wounded, I did it righteously
As for Sika, it's true that he never did anything bad, but this kind of thing happened, it was also unexpected and not my fault
Just as he was coming up with an excuse in his heart, another voice said to Xavier at the same time
What is the difference between you and Anven Pandragon who sacrificed the life of an innocent person for the sake of justice?
Sika Matheson was killed by you!
Feeling this emotion, Xavier knew that he was not divided, but his own guilt, and he was saying this to himself.
From the beginning to the end, to the last moment of killing Anwen, he didn't have the idea of soft-heartedness, and he felt sorry for only Sika.
Perhaps he was the one who killed the swordsmith.
But from the day he reported the information to Andrew, he should have had a relevant consciousness a long time ago.
Because, this path was chosen by himself.
He has no regrets.
Even so, the guilt in his heart couldn't help but explode in his heart at the moment when Sika committed suicide.
With the corresponding awareness, it does not mean that you can face it calmly when it happens.
It's just that, when facing it, the impact is a little less.
Thinking of this, Xavier shook his head lightly and sighed heavily at Andrew behind him, and the special forces captain waved his hand to the side, and the team members swarmed up, and after confirming that both of them were dead, they disposed of all the two bodies.
They didn't do anything drastic against the corpses, even if they had an incomparable hatred for Anwen, they simply covered them with cloth and prepared to be sent to the crematorium for cremation.
As a seventh-level magician, Anwen has done such an uncleared act, even he himself said that he would not ask for forgiveness from others, so he could not get a good burial, and it was estimated that he was casually scattered in the garbage heap, which was the punishment he deserved.
But Sika's words, Xavier still plans to do something for him at the end, just to make himself feel more at ease.
In the midst of his thoughts, Xavier looked at the special forces members and removed the bodies of the two.
Captain Andrew next to him was smiling, but when he saw Xavier's serious expression, he had to put away his smile and said, "Xavier, don't have such an expression, you are a great hero, a dignified seventh-level magician, you have been defeated." ”
"I'm curious about how you managed to stop Anwen's spatial teleportation, and to be honest, the moment he fled through the window, I thought we were going to fail again. ”
"It's just that I hit him. Xavier didn't go into too much detail about his combat experience.
"Good thing you hit. Andrew was glad for a moment, "Now that I think about it, I still feel scared, and I don't know how he got in, and he didn't feel the elemental fluctuations by the magicians." ”
"Because he didn't use the space to teleport at all," Xavier whispered, "Anwen has infiltrated and has been hiding in the Count's chamber, waiting for an assassination opportunity.
"Doesn't that mean that so many of our special forces haven't found any trace of him!This is too unacceptable to accept, right?" Andrew couldn't help but sigh, and then gritted his teeth, "If I can continue to be the captain, I will definitely have to let that group of people train more!"
Although he did kill the assassin, he let the protected target also die, and the credit and demerits were offset by the fact that he would have been demoted, and he did not know what would have happened in the end.
"You still owe me a favor. Xavier said faintly, "As a result, you are not the captain now, won't I be at a loss?"
"My experience is not comparable to those guys, Xavier, and I bet that even if I am demoted, I will definitely be promoted back in three months," Andrew said confidently.
"Waiting for that day to come. Xavier gave a not-so-smiling smile.
~~~~~~
Back at the villa, Xavier and Captain Andrew meet an unexpected figure.
Imperial Count, Jane von Breda Hicks.
The very obese man, who was still harassing the female members of the special forces at this time, did not see at all that he had been assassinated a few minutes ago.
And Xavier and Andrew couldn't help but show magical expressions.
Aren't you dead?
Seeing this, Earl Hicks smiled and showed the two of them what he was wearing.
It turned out that he was wearing three layers of thick leather armor in his exposed suit, and Anwen's sleeve blade only happened to pass through the leather armor and did not hurt the internal organs inside.
As for those blood stains, it was the blood bag that Earl Hicks had already prepared in his leather armor, and the moment it was punctured, blood would slowly flow outward, so there was a picture of the Earl falling to the ground and bleeding continuously, which was the scene seen by the female team members.
And he pretended to be quite similar, at least, Anwen, who was in a hurry to save his father at the time, really thought that he had killed him, and did not confirm his status, and even the female team members did not find out at first, which led to the successful escape of the earl.
I have to sigh, it's really shit luck!
However, as far as Xavier is concerned, he does not care whether the earl is dead or alive, because from Anwen's experience, the factory owner is not a good bird, and has killed many workers, including Sika's wife, which is why everyone has no good opinion of him at the moment, including the female team member who was harassed by him.
