Chapter 349 Not Worthy of Forgiveness
The magic traps people here, knocks down the guards there. Only then did the nobles finally come to their senses. It seemed that the other party's so-called negotiation was aimed at Alex.
Naturally, the nobles were not happy with Alex. The reason is very simple. Even a small farm with only a few poor families has its own rules. What's more, the deep-rooted aristocratic class that has lasted for thousands of years? And Alex's usually maverick style of doing things is really different from the elegant demeanor of the nobles. This naturally makes everyone uncomfortable.
Among them, Simpson, Ronald and other old aristocrats are the most important. It can be said that they have been immersed in the aristocratic circle all their lives and have become the guardians of the rules. Naturally, they are most interested in alternative aristocrats like Alex. Can't stand it. Since Alex planned to take this path, he also disagreed with these lessons of relying on one's elders and selling one's elders. Therefore, from the moment the noble negotiation team set off from the capital, the relationship between them was the most tense.
Of course, due to the current special situation, Ronald and other new nobles could not watch Alex being killed right in front of their eyes, so after Josiah took a crossbow from Diff beside him, they hurriedly dissuaded him.
"Wait!" After organizing his words, Ronald waved his hands hurriedly, "Don't be impulsive. Is there any misunderstanding here? If you have something to say."
"Misunderstanding..." Loading the crossbow, Joshua tilted his head and said calmly without explaining too much, "You want to stop me?"
Ronald looked stunned and spread his hands: "Well... I have to tell you why. He is a noble..."
"Nobles? Haha." Josiah sneered twice, and his expression suddenly turned cold. "What's wrong with the nobles? Can't they be killed? Are civilians inherently inferior? Should they be killed at will?"
"Oh, that's not what I meant..." Ronald looked a little bitter and hesitated to speak.
To be honest, if the scene was changed and no one else was present, he wouldn't care about Alex's life or death at all. But as he just said, Alex is a noble, and now there are so many pairs of eyes here. If Alex is killed by Josiah for no reason here, then this negotiation can only end here.
"Haha..." At this moment, Alex, who was a little stunned because he was suddenly tied up before, suddenly raised his head and laughed, shaking his head, as if he was mocking, "Interesting, really interesting, I didn't expect that Alex would be in trouble. At that time, someone actually came out to dissuade me, and they were from the new aristocracy... Haha, that’s so damn interesting!”
After a pause, the laughter stopped, and he looked directly into Josiah's eyes with a fierce expression, "I'm standing right here, magician girl, come and kill me if you have the guts!"
Josiah pursed his lips and without hesitation, he raised his crossbow and pointed it directly at Alex's heart.
"come!"
"don't want……"
"Damn it, you can't be impulsive..."
"Calm down, calm down, think about the negotiation..."
There was a sound of a bench falling down, and everyone in the new aristocracy stood up in a hurry, pressing their hands to comfort them. Some people with good strength wanted to rush over immediately, but were blocked by Diff and the others who also got up.
Simpson and other traditional aristocrats sat blankly on their chairs, looking at the situation in front of them in a daze. Of course, there are also some people who are smart. After considering the consequences of this, their eyes immediately looked at the crossbow eagerly, as if urging...
In the midst of this chaos, Josiah took a deep breath, lowered his eyes, and lowered his crossbow. Alex's eyes flashed across from him, and his expression relaxed. Huh... Ronald and the others couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief when they saw this. They were about to give some good words to persuade them again, when suddenly,
Whoosh...poof!
The bow string vibrated, and the crossbow arrow was shot out instantly. "Ah ah..." With a painful howl, Alex knelt on one knee, looking down at the crossbow arrow embedded in his right thigh and the blood radiating out, his face twisted.
However, no matter how painfully he struggled, the silver-white water belts on his arms, legs, feet, and waist and abdomen kept him firmly in place and unable to move.
There was a sudden silence in the field, and all the nobles were stunned. She actually... really took action!
"You are really smart...or maybe I'm overthinking it." Joshua loaded the second crossbow with an expressionless face, looked at Alex indifferently, and took a step forward, "No matter what, I won't let him You died so easily, Ba Lao died with five arrows in his body, I will pay you back one by one!"
"Uh-huh, bitch! Huh-huh..." Breathing heavily, Alex no longer looked as carefree as usual, his expression was sinister, like a caged animal. This is not an act, but compared to the external pain, what he cares most about is the doubts in his heart. If the other party dares to attack, he obviously knows something, but he doesn't know where the problem lies...
As if he had not heard anything, Josiah loaded the crossbow and pulled up the bowstring, "Don't you want to know the reason? There is still some time now, so I will tell you what time it is." After saying this, he looked around at the nobles around him. He said again, "More than ten days ago, you and Phillip came to Shanxi City in advance. In the next two days, the negotiation team arrived and finally checked into this hotel together. Haha, no one suspects anything..."
Whoosh...the crossbow arrow shot out again, piercing Alex's left thigh. However, perhaps because of the complicated thoughts in his mind, this time Alex just made a muffled sound, knelt down on his knees, and did not struggle and scream more needlessly.
"But in fact, when you arrived in Shanxi City, you had already visited this hotel and made some arrangements... It's easy to guess that this is located in the center of the city and is the most high-end hotel in Shanxi City. With just a little decoration Guidance, the negotiation team will definitely live here. Well, am I right?"
Alex opened his mouth, his eyes slightly dazed, and a few drops of sweat slowly slid down his temples.
"Then there was a traitor on our side, and you bought it with a lot of money. After the second negotiation, we were ambushed by the men in black, oh, the dead men of your family. Needless to say, our suspect was of course the noble. By the way... Then, the hotel was subjected to consecutive assassinations. There were no flaws at the scene. The murderer seemed more like an ethereal soul. But in fact, it was just someone pretending to be a waiter and drugged the tea. In this way, it was natural for the murderer to enter There will be no resistance...Of course, with so many nobles dead, the target of suspicion here must be us..."
"You are very smart, let us focus on each other. You are also very good at pretending. In the whole thing, you are the only one who gets away, and no one will doubt you..."
At this point, the new nobles on Ronald's side and the traditional nobles led by Simpson couldn't help but look at each other, and their expressions gradually changed. No matter how stupid they were, they knew something was wrong, so they shifted their gaze and finally focused on Alex.
"Huh... Huh..." Alex slowly sat down on the ground with his legs bent, raised his head, his face turned pale due to excessive blood loss, and grinned while breathing, "Haha, after saying so much, Huh... where is the evidence? If there is no evidence, I won’t admit it.”
"What if there is, will you admit it?"
"Well... no, haha..."
As expected of Alex, even in such a situation. Of course, his pale face cannot change his appearance, but his speech is free and easy.
Joshua picked up the crossbow again, aimed at his arm, but then put it down, and suddenly asked: "You are so calm, then do you remember how long it has been since you were trapped?"
Alex raised his eyebrows in surprise, then raised the corners of his mouth: "About five minutes, haha, why, do you want to count my death time?"
"That's almost it." Shaking his head, Joshua said lightly, "Don't you want evidence? You can do it later..."
Before he finished speaking, suddenly, boom...
The sound of a huge explosion seemed to ring in the ears, the ground shook, and the side hall windows shattered immediately. Everyone was caught off guard and hurriedly retreated subconsciously, falling down and screaming one after another.
"...I heard it." After continuing to speak, Josiah was also stunned, then shrugged and looked at Alex, who suddenly looked gloomy. "It's a coincidence, isn't it? Well, you should know where the explosion came from. Are you here?"
The corners of his mouth twitched, and Alex opened his mouth, but no words came out in the end. On the other side, someone had already rushed to the window and exclaimed, "It's at the attic. Somewhere on the first floor was bombed... Hey, the guard cavalry came so fast..."
Quite punctual...Twain at the door raised his lips slightly. This was the agreement between him and Powers. The man in black in the secret room belongs to Powers, but what Powers previously investigated and Alex belong to him.
"Don't tell me? Then let me tell you." Withdrawing his gaze from Alex, Josiah looked at all the nobles around him and said loudly, "That is your Alex's room, and the place where you were bombed is where you have been." The entrance to the secret room has been dug, and there are family dead men who ambushed us and assassinated the nobles!"
Wow——
Although they had expected it at first, when this guess was actually revealed, all the nobles became angry instantly! Thinking about their dead companions and the fearful days they had spent these past few days, they wished their glances at Alex could turn into crossbow arrows.
"Why?" Ronald's face turned red and he asked loudly across the negotiation table.
But Alex obviously ignored him and shook his head suddenly: "Oh, it turns out there was a problem with the housekeeper... No, if you push it further, it was Philip. Well, that woman, Loris, and the seal, ha, It’s really a good plan..."
As if he had figured something out, there was a hint of weird joy on Alex's face.
"You admit it?" Joshua tightened his crossbow and took another step forward to Alex.
"of course not."
"Does that make sense?"
Alex raised his head, closed his eyes, and said calmly: "There are...some things, as long as they are not said from my mouth, they will never become evidence or evidence for others. Haha, to a certain extent, , you don’t want me to admit it... Come on, for this reason, don’t shoot an arrow, just give me a good time!"
Joshua was silent, then pursed his lips and shook his head: "That's your business. I just think you don't deserve to be forgiven!" Whoosh, the crossbow arrow hit Alex's lower abdomen and penetrated deeply. Without hesitation or hesitation, the crossbow arrow was pressed again, this time the target was the right chest, whoosh...
"Pfft..." After being hit by two crossbow arrows, especially the last one on his right chest, Alex fell head-over-heels, spraying out blood mist. With such an injury, even if he is no longer attacked, he will still die after a while.
However, Josiah was not moved at all. He loaded the last crossbow arrow with an indifferent expression, walked up to Alex, and pointed it directly between his eyebrows.
"Why?" The crowd's condemnation came to a halt due to Joshua's outrageous move, leaving only Simpson's loud roar.
"Ahem..." Vomiting blood, turning his head slightly, Alex looked at Simpson and the traditional aristocrats, with a mocking smile on his lips, and sighed helplessly: "Because you idiots..."
Whoosh——(To be continued.)
