Seven Hundred and Eighty Third Handshake

Cliff doesn't like this predicament, doesn't like it from the start, as if he's the only one on the outside, but the point is that he shouldn't be.

Cliff didn't like the way the conversation was going, and before he knew it, he was in trouble, looking around and fighting alone.

Although he knew that maybe if he went down the steps, the matter would be able to ease down, but today, he didn't want to, so the words blurted out.

"Ronan, are you threatening me?"

The same words fall on different ears, but they can interpret completely different meanings, and the subtle changes in positions and attitudes are fully revealed.

The smile on the corner of Ronan's mouth paused for a moment, then slowly restrained a little, but he still remained calm and polite, and responded with a more serious attitude.

"You are expressing your position, I am expressing my position, I think this is an open and frank exchange of equals, I have no intention of stopping you, however, you interpret it this way, can I understand that, Maxi Is Mu's accusation correct? Is there something between you and Trastan hiding us?"

Cliff was a little irritable, struggled a bit, and tried to get rid of Ollie's control, but the huge difference in size and strength still made him fail again. Clamping Cliff was still easy.

"Equal dialogue? You are manipulating Maxim and Ollie. The dialogue has been unfair from the beginning. Don't put on a face of 'we are talking on an equal footing'."

After finishing speaking, Cliff glanced sideways at Ollie behind him. Although he didn't say anything, his attitude couldn't be more clear.

Oli seemed to notice the eyes, hesitated a little, and looked up at Ronan and Maxim.

Ronan was a little helpless——

Their original purpose was not to "suppress" Cliff, but to stop Cliff and Maxim from fighting. Now that the fight has been stopped, they can naturally let go; but it is obvious that Ollie's reaction today is not normal, so it is procrastinating Pull, hold Cliff like a hostage.

Ronan nodded to Ollie before Ollie let go of Cliff.

Cliff sneered. Although he didn't say anything more, his attitude couldn't be more obvious.

"Cliff, if you think Maxim and Ollie are two puppets, and I'm manipulating them behind their backs, why don't you try manipulating them? Anyway, they have no brains. I can succeed, and so can you, you You're not stupid than me." Ronan said in a contrary way.

"Hey!" Maxim immediately protested,

"Get out!"

Ronan didn't mind either, and shrugged at Maxim.

Maxim looked at Ronan's reluctance, and cursed at Cliff again, "You have no brains! Your whole family has no brains! Don't you think I can't see it if you don't admit that you did something stupid? You don't You are so smart in your own imagination, don't be self-righteous."

But Cliff didn't have time to pay attention to Maxim at this time, he was obviously very surprised, he didn't expect Ronan to say that.

Ronan also ignored Maxim, and looked at Cliff again, "You can chat with them alone to see what they think of Trastan towards you. I don't mind you communicating in private behind my back, and then I suspect that you are colluding behind the scenes to do bad things."

"Get out!" Cliff was stung in an instant, and raised his middle finger at Ronan, expressing his anger strongly.

But he didn't know whether the anger was because of Ronan himself, or because of Ronan's words - he also knew what the answer of Maxim and Ollie was.

In the end, Ronan didn't say anything, and turned around and left on the spot...Turned and left...Leaved...

Although Cliff told Ronan to "scroll", when did Ronan become so obedient? And if Ronan leaves at this time, what will happen to this mess?

"Ronan!"

It was not Cliff who called out, but Maxim—he was expressing his strong dissatisfaction, but neither Ronan nor Cliff responded to him, and now Ronan just turned around and left? What is this?

Ronan stopped in response, turned to look at Maxim, and asked with his eyes: What's wrong?

Maxim's full of words were blocked by Ronan's eyes, feeling tight in his chest.

Then Cliff preemptively said, "I'm sorry."

A word, like falling into a calm lake, stirred up layers of ripples, and then all eyes turned to Cliff.

Maxim cursed in a low voice, as if he was very depressed that he had missed the opportunity, but considering that Cliff's apology was more important, he finally shut his mouth and looked at Cliff with a full face of resentment, and then said: You better be able to give a decent apology statement.

Cliff could sense that all eyes were gathering, took a deep breath, and finally calmed down after a short struggle.

"Sorry, I was too short-sighted."

As difficult as it was, the words were finally spoken.

"I... I just want to hear his explanation. What happened in the first place and why did he betray us? His actions directly pushed us into the abyss. I want to know the reason. Otherwise, I always think that I also have wrong."

"If I hadn't introduced him to the band, if I hadn't suggested him as our manager, if I hadn't caused us to trust him so much, it wouldn't have happened."

"I want to know the answer."

Facing Trastan, Cliff has more complex emotions besides hatred in his heart, but he has never talked to the band members, or in other words, they have never realized Cliff's position.

At this moment, even Maxim fell silent. He now somewhat understands Ronan's handling method. Impulse and anger cannot solve the problem. They need dialogue and communication before they can take the first step.

Cliff let out a long breath, as if he had lifted a heavy burden, then raised his head again and looked at his teammates, "But obviously I didn't think clearly, our fate with Trastan has long since ended, even if There is no need to figure out why..."

The words stopped with great difficulty.

Oli was the most soft-hearted, and was the first to step forward and pat Cliff on the shoulder, completely forgetting the conflict with Cliff just now, "It's not your fault. We never blamed you."

Cliff smiled bitterly, "I know, but I blame myself."

In the depths of Cliff's heart, there has always been a crack. The friendship between him and his teammates is not deep enough. A large part of the reason is Trastan's betrayal, which has caused an invisible barrier between them. He thought it was his teammates. They are alienated, but in the end it is he who does not let go of himself.

"I just... want to figure it out..." Cliff's shoulders drooped heavily, but he couldn't finish his sentence after all, because he couldn't figure it out himself, and mixed and contradictory emotions were tugging in his mind, falling into the There was chaos, and then, the voice just disappeared deep in the throat.
