Nicole?!

Maltz's eyes widened, and the whole person stood up from the chair uncontrollably, and asked again and again-

"Nicole, are you Cotton's fiancée, Nicole?"

"Hmm."

Andorra's mother-in-law nodded, her eyes softened by the name 'Cotton'.

It was the brilliance of the interweaving of thoughts and memories.

In the gentle sigh, there is an indescribable attachment.

With this sigh, Maltz sat back in his chair.

The old sergeant looked at his former comrade-in-arms' fiancée, and was silent for three or four seconds before he spoke.

"You killed Cummins, the owner of the 'Patrick Bookstore' and the editor-in-chief of the Clarion?"

"Hmm."

Andorra's mother-in-law nodded again, this time with resentment in her eyes that even Linda could detect, while the rest of the crowd groaned.

The old sheriff, in particular, frowned even more.

Everything is so obvious.

He had already guessed probably.

However, there are some things that the old sheriff still needs to tell in person.

"Can you tell me what's going on?"

The old sheriff asked.

"Revenge.

Do you remember what happened when you returned to South Los at the end of the Seven Years' War, near the end of the war? ”

Andorra's mother-in-law looked at the old sheriff.

The latter's face was solemn and straight.

"Never forget!"

"Do you know that you should be returning to South Los by boat?"

Andorra's mother-in-law asked again.

Suddenly, the old sheriff's eyes immediately narrowed, and a hint of danger appeared in his eyes - for the old sheriff, he had been reluctant to mention the events of the past.

Because, in his opinion, it was an accident.

In fact, it was also characterized as an accident at the time.

That was the characterization made by his direct commander after personally inspecting it.

So, the old sheriff never thought about more.

But if they had returned by boat, they had returned on foot......

Everything is different!

It means that someone arranged for them to have that accident!

That accident was man-made!

The old sheriff stared at Andorra's mother-in-law and asked again.

"On a boat? Are you sure? ”

"Sure!

According to the order at the time, you were supposed to take a boat back to South Los, but someone tampered with that order - the owner of the 'Patrick Bookstore' was the one who forged the false order, and the editor-in-chief of the 'Clarion'? His seal carving skills are very good, and the seal is from his hand! ”

Andorra's mother-in-law mentioned the two with resentment in her eyes.

Scott on the side of the table turned pale.

Editor-in-chief Cummins loves seal carving, he knows it, and he has also seen the old editor-in-chief seal carving.

It's just that......

He never imagined that the old editor-in-chief would be involved in such a thing.

Recalling the old editor-in-chief's care for him on weekdays, the young editor-in-chief always had a feeling of disbelief, as if he saw a completely separated person at this moment.

Scott, shocked by reality, bowed his head and remained silent.

Malinda, however, looked with interest at the Andorran mother-in-law, who was no stranger to her.

"Can you tell me how you found out they did these things?"

The woman asked.

It's still so habitual and tempting.

Andorra's mother-in-law clearly felt this temptation.

However, this mother-in-law didn't care.

On the contrary, the mother-in-law very generously admitted-

"Ms. Caesar, just as you think!

The mastermind behind this is the Baron Kemir you want to inherit the title!

He was the one who planned everything!

And I killed him! ”

Having received the answer she wanted, Malinda smiled and nodded, but her eyes turned to Arthur again.

She knew that Arthur's every step must have a deep meaning, and even this kind of new house salon must have its own purpose.

And everything in front of her proves her guess.

So......

Is it just to find the murderer?

No, it won't!

This is not Arthur's style!

This guy must be eyeing something! ’

Malinda, who is uncertain for the time being, chooses to sit on the sidelines.

The people at the table looked at the lady, then at Andorra's mother-in-law, and finally, at Arthur.

Everyone was surprised by this coincidence.

But is it really a coincidence?

Looking at Arthur who was holding Pendragon, everyone subconsciously shook their heads.

At this moment, everyone thought of what Arthur had just said-

If we can't prevent sin from happening, then we have no reason to stop others from doing the right thing for heaven!" ’

So, no coincidence!

Arthur already knew this!

However, Arthur chose to watch from the sidelines!

Yes, with Arthur as a 'medium', how can it be a coincidence?

If it is a coincidence, it is better to say that it is 'fate'!

The 'fate' brought about by the 'medium'!

On Arthur's left-hand side, except for Malinda, Linda, who was sitting closest to Arthur, was unexpectedly puzzled.

It's not that Arthur knows about it.

Linda firmly believes that Arthur, who has a stronger bloodline than herself and has excellent talents, as long as he wants to know these things, he will naturally be able to know these things.

To her surprise, she was puzzled by how Andorra's mother-in-law had killed a nobleman.

With the 'Bloodline Awakening', Linda has learned a part of the truth of the world from the mouth of Steward Orr, and she understands why the nobles attach so much importance to the 'bloodline', and why the nobles can have an unattainable status - everything comes from power!

The kind of power that is above ordinary people!

Even if it's a 'squib', that's true!

Because, their ancestors have already planned everything for the 'Squib'.

The Lord may be difficult.

But to the point of a baron, one or two self-defense props that can be used by ordinary people are necessary.

Therefore, it is difficult for ordinary people to hurt a nobleman.

Linda, who was full of doubts and curiosity, looked at Arthur, and after Arthur nodded, the member of the 'House of Credos' immediately asked his doubts-

"How did you kill a nobleman?"

Faced with such an inquiry, Andorra's mother-in-law laughed.

It's just that there is a hint of bitterness with such a smile.

"Food and cooking.

When certain delicious foods are put together, they form toxins, which are not violent, but they can still kill people over time - my mother told me that as a wife and mother, it is my duty to let my husband and children get health from food.

I've been working it.

However, Cotton's death completely deprived me of my purpose.

In the days after the war, because of my mother, I tried to pretend that nothing happened, and I went to Baron Kemille's estate to apply for a job.

I plan to wait until my mother is safe and sound, and then choose to kill myself.

But Baron Kemill's 'thank you dinner' made me know all this.

They were very drunk.

They boasted to each other.

And me?

I chose to take revenge with what I do best and the only way I can use it. ”

Linda nodded her head as she listened, but the member of the 'Credos family' was still curious in her heart—

There was one thing she cared about.
