Chapter 1073 Self-Deprecation

In the restaurant, the atmosphere was a little stagnant. Both Raphael and Harold had unnatural expressions.

I pursed my lips and suddenly smiled: "I'm sorry about the Purple Heart Grass. We really don't have this. Let's eat. It won't taste good when it's cold."

"Yes, eat, eat!" Harold laughed and took the lead in putting a piece of food on my plate. Then he raised his glass and said to me: "Thank you, Xiaoyi, for inviting me to such a sumptuous meal. Let me toast you first."

I clinked glasses with him and drank the wine in one gulp.

As soon as he poured a glass, Raphael suddenly raised the glass with both hands, stood up and said, "I, I want to toast you too."

His expression was extremely unnatural when he said this. It seemed that before he fell into despair, others would always toast him, and he would never toast others.

I smiled slightly, stood up a little, clinked the glass with him, and drank it down again.

After two consecutive toasts, the tense atmosphere in the restaurant finally eased. After a while, everyone was no longer restrained and began to enjoy the meal.

The meal lasted until Harold was burping, flushed, and swaying.

I looked at Raphael, who was lying on the table, already drunk and unconscious, and Betty, who fell asleep after only two glasses of wine. Then I looked sideways at Jin Siqi, who was sleeping soundly on my shoulder. Looking at Harold who was about to fall asleep on the table, I shook my head and asked the airship staff to help Harold, Jin Siqi, and Rafael each go into a room to rest. Little Betty was also sent into Rafael. s room.

I shook my slightly confused head and staggered to the room that belonged only to me.

Lying on the sofa, I began to think: If Raphael accepted my commission, that would be fine. If he didn't accept it, should I find a few more doctors to test it out?

There is another situation, if Raphael just delays and refuses to answer, what should I do?

You can't force him to give an answer.

Thinking about these tangled questions, I fell asleep leaning on the sofa before I knew it.

When I woke up, it was already the next morning. When I left the room, I saw Jin Siqi and four others sitting on the leather sofa at the entrance of the top area, waiting.

"Good morning, everyone," I said, "have you all had breakfast?"

Jin Siqi said: "No, I've been waiting for you to get up."

"That's really embarrassing." I scratched my hair and said, "I was a little tired yesterday, so I slept a little longer, haha."

We didn't say anything more and went directly to the restaurant. It was also a meal of elf specialties, but unlike yesterday's dinner, this was breakfast.

After dinner, we left the magic airship and went directly to the New Valiant Guild.

Entering the living room, I sat on the sofa and asked Raphael: "How have you considered yesterday's suggestion?"

Raphael looked serious, thought for a moment, and said, "Can I ask you a few questions?"

"Please say."

“Do I know who I am being asked to serve?”

"Of course," I said, "It's a goblin."

"What's his relationship with you?"

"No comment," I said.

"Is losing my freedom a necessary prerequisite for me to accept the commission?" Raphael asked.

"Yes."

"Can you please not take my daughter with you?" Raphael's tone seemed to be pleading when he said this.

I looked at him deeply and shook my head: "No, I must hold your most important person as a hostage. Only in this way can I entrust you."

Harold's expression on the side changed slightly at this moment, but he restrained himself from speaking, while Jin Siqi was teasing little Betty, distracting the little one from listening to the conversation between Raphael and me.

"Then can you ensure that my daughter will not be harmed?" Raphael asked urgently.

"With your absolute loyalty, I can guarantee that."

"Then, then, can I see my daughter again in the future?" When Raphael said this, his voice was trembling. Not only was his voice like this, his expression was also anxious and sad.

"I will arrange it," I said: "For you, the cruelest thing would be for father and daughter not to see each other. Don't worry, although I am not a good person, I will not do such a cruel thing. "

"Then, can I ask one more question at the end?" Raphael asked cautiously.

"Just ask."

I think his last question is likely to be related to Purple Heart Grass. After all, in my opinion, it is second only to his daughter.

"I, I want to know. Will this commission pose any danger to life?"

Um? ! It has nothing to do with purple heart grass?

It seems that I misjudged this person again. It turns out that in his heart, the first place is Little Betty, and the second place is not the purple heart grass, but his own life.

"Generally speaking, there is no danger," I said.

"Generally speaking?" he asked emphatically.

"Well, generally speaking," I said, "generally speaking, I mean that you are absolutely loyal and will never betray. Once you betray, not only will your life be in danger, but also your daughter's life will be in danger." Not immune."

"I already know this," Raphael said, "I mean, what would happen if I were always loyal to my employer?"

"Then you will be very safe, and your daughter will also be very safe," I said, "just as I promised yesterday, although you no longer have freedom, your life will be very comfortable. Although your daughter has become a hostage, But she can also receive the best education, obtain the best quality of life, and live a life that is completely as she pleases."

"Can you really guarantee that?" Raphael's buttocks left his seat and he leaned towards me in a half-hunched posture.

"Of course I can guarantee it," I said calmly.

Raphael stared at me for a long time. He didn't seem to trust my words. Of course, what he didn't trust was not my trust, but my guarantee.

Turning around, Raphael turned his attention to Harold.

Harold shook his head slightly, indicating that he had no idea what I was talking about.

Then, he turned his attention to Jin Siqi.

While teasing little Betty, Jin Siqi said: "If Xiaoyi can't guarantee it, it seems that no one in Zefeng Continent dares to guarantee anything anymore."

"What do you mean?" Raphael asked confused.

"It's not interesting." Jin Siqi continued to tease little Betty: "I just want to say that you underestimate Xiao Yi's identity."

I stood up, walked to Raphael, patted him on the shoulder, motioned for him to sit down, and said: "I can understand that you don't trust me. Not long ago, I was just a man with no way to seek medical treatment." A poor boy has almost nothing except impulsiveness and recklessness. Moreover, I want to say that your distrust and suspicion are correct. I am indeed still a poor boy."

Just when I said this, Jin Siqi burst into laughter. I cleared my throat. Jin Siqi covered her mouth quickly, but she was still laughing.

It’s really me, is it wrong to laugh at myself?

Why are you laughing so exaggeratedly?
