Chapter 1738 Men

Compared to Simmons Locke, who can use his children as pawns, Carter Horton looks extremely weak.

He doesn't care about the open and secret fights between his children, but once an outsider threatens the lives of his children, he will protect them like an old hen protecting its chicks.

As everyone knows, outsiders can kill several of his children, and internal fighting is the real reason for the decline of the Carter family.

Carter Nelson had a violent temper. In order to firmly hold the position of prince, he did not hesitate to assassinate most of his brothers and sisters, and used coercion and inducement to recruit many noble ministers, as well as the Golden Flame Guild. He tried to force Carter Horton to appoint him as the next city lord, which violated the two words of loyalty and filial piety.

Furthermore, he was a romantic by nature and had indescribable affairs with countless beauties and noble ladies. There were no less than one or two hundred cases of dalliances spread among the people.

If Achilles hadn't massacred the foreigners and forced them to return to their hometowns or flee to other countries, Carter Nelson might have ruined many more ignorant foreign girls.

With such a bad record, if I were Carter Horton, I would definitely not let Carter Nelson leave Moonlight City this time, but would let him continue to dominate Moonlight City.

If Carter Nelson can return to Airy City alive, that's all. If he dies outside, or there is no trace at all, then I will definitely use this as an excuse to cause an international dispute and demand that Moonlight City must be treated properly. Otherwise, we will use all our strength to fight against him.

Of course, the beating was fake, but the coercion was real.

As long as Moonlight City cannot give an explanation, it will become the target of public criticism. Through this matter, it can also win the sympathy of the people, arouse the anger of the people, and rebuild the crumbling cohesion.

Unfortunately, I am not Carter Horton.

It was a bit cool this evening.

I sat on a small stool, leaning against Xiao Zhi, watching the last trace of light on the horizon.

Mr. Taylor was lying in the rocking chair, drinking as usual.

Seeing that he was addicted to drinking, I picked up a bottle, pulled out the cork, and drank half of it in one gulp.

"If you don't understand wine, don't drink it randomly." Taylor said with his eyes in his mouth, a little distressed: "This is just old wine, not much."

I spread my hands and said nonchalantly: "As long as you live long enough, you can have as much as you want for things like aging wine."

"You're talking nonsense." The old man curled his lips and took another sip of wine.

Just a few seconds after the wine entered the stomach, a dry and mellow flavor emerged spontaneously, like a rising fire that lasted for a long time.

After grinning for a while, I finally dissipated the drunkenness.

The old man watched silently. When I grinned and couldn't help myself, he was very happy and said: "I told you not to drink if you don't know how to drink. But you didn't listen and drank half the bottle in one gulp. It's strange that you don't feel uncomfortable." .”

I burped, sighed, and said, "Actually, I'm not good at drinking either. I only have a drink when I'm in a bad mood."

"You bastard, are you still in a bad mood?" Taylor laughed and said, "Maybe you feel that the speed of leveling up is a little slow now, and you are worried about how to level up faster and increase your strength."

As he spoke, he shook his head and said: "If this is the case, I can only advise you. Everyone wants to improve their strength, but they are eager for quick success but not demanding. Don't forget to lay a solid foundation in order to improve the level, or even go down the wrong path. Then But the gains outweigh the losses.”

"You don't need to say more, I naturally know this truth." I smiled bitterly and said: "But you guessed wrong this time. I am not worried about improving my strength, but it is related to the previous incident of Emily. "

"Emily?" Taylor thought for a moment and said, "Didn't the Carter family go back a long time ago, and didn't that little girl have nothing wrong with her? Why are you so worried?"

I shook my head and said: "The Carter family has no weight to me. Anyway, we have already made enemies. Either they will kill me or I will kill them all. This is an ironclad decision. I What’s disappointing is the Fairy Queen’s attitude and her actions.”

"You're talking about Trika."

I nodded and said: "I could see that she was very angry about the day of accountability and had murderous intentions. She wanted to crush me, the ant who disrupted her plan, to death on the spot. Although I already knew that the Tian family was ruthless, she relied on Why are you using my fiancée as bait?"

"If she really wants to please Airicheng, why doesn't she use her own tribe as a gift to Carter Nelson?" I said angrily: "If this can't satisfy her desire for goodwill, as long as Remi doesn't object, I will We can even return her to the Fairy Queen, as a biological granddaughter, you have to give when you need to give, and you have to pay when you need to pay, as long as Remy is willing to agree, anything can be said!"

Snapped!

There was a crisp sound.

There was a burning pain on the side of my cheek.

The old man raised his eyebrows and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about! You are still my fiancé. You have to protect your own woman. Unless you die, you can never give it away. I still need to teach you this truth." !"

For some reason, when I heard the old man's reprimand, I felt inexplicably relaxed, as if countless pent-up emotions were pouring out in an instant.

Taylor took a deep breath, calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "You bastard, what you just said was a bit too much. You should know about my relationship with Trika, but I didn't help her that day. But I stand behind you. You are very smart and should understand what I mean. Woman, as long as she is willing to completely entrust herself to you, you must protect and care for her wholeheartedly, even if you have to fight with others for this. Fight, fight with the earth, fight with the sky, you can’t back down or compromise!”

He picked up the bottle, took a sip, moistened his throat, and continued: "Because you are a man, and you have some responsibilities. Once you take it on, you can't put it down again, unless you die."

"In the years I have lived, I have seen too many people who use their women and even their friends as pawns for political power. They may show off their power for a while, but the final outcome is embarrassing. They think they can Everyone in the world uses them as their own chess pieces. Little do they know that when they have this thought, they have already turned into chess pieces on the chessboard. But they don’t know it. One day, they will lose their beloved woman. After losing all the close friends and everyone who loves and loves me, I will suddenly realize that I have been reduced to a lonely chess piece, and even the value of being eaten no longer exists."

Taylor sighed deeply and said quietly: "Don't blame Trika too much. She just fell into the glory of the goblin clan so deeply that she was blinded by the light of her ancestors and confused her mind. I believe that eventually, One day, she will wake up."
