Chapter 1793 Cornerstone

As the crack in the door got wider and wider, a thin figure squeezed in from the crack in the door. It was Daphne.

I was suddenly startled and broke out in a cold sweat. I was really afraid of what might happen!

Before the thin figure could take the third step, she froze in place. The calm eyes hidden behind the thick-soled lenses shrank for an instant. At the same time, the two emotions of anger and shock surged through her at the same time. A look came over his face, replacing his usual indifference.

However, Daphne did not have an attack immediately. Instead, while facing my eyes, she tried hard to regulate her heavy and rapid breathing. Her delicate hands were tightly clenched into fists, wanting to squeeze out water.

When facing the "betrayal" scene, she was still able to control her impulsive emotions and remain calm at all times. I have to say that this weak girl who looks young is stronger in her heart than I imagined.

I asked myself, if I met a similar scene, I would definitely not want to think about it. I picked up my fist, and it would be a meal to the green, and I would not stop without being killed.

A few minutes later, Daphne calmed down her breathing. She walked back a few steps, locked the door, and dragged a sofa with great effort. Then she lay down on the sofa panting, with eyes full of doubts and a hint of anger, Look at me quietly.

I twitched the corner of my mouth and responded with a helpless smile, hoping that she would understand that this was all just a misunderstanding.

However, she ignored it.

Just as we were staring at each other, Kailan, who was very close to me, suddenly took a deep breath and let out a lazy moan with a blushing face and heartbeat.

The sticky sound flowed into my ears and hit my heart, stimulating the most primitive impulse.

Even Daphne, who was a few steps away, shivered uncomfortably, her cheeks tinged with a light red.

After a lazy moan, Kailan stretched out his limbs like a cat, put his pretty face full of sleepiness on my shoulder, and rubbed it comfortably.

Seeing this scene, I just wanted to cry without tears. Without him, Kailan's mouth was full of saliva!

I didn't know how long I kept under the showerhead, but my restless heart finally calmed down. At the same time, I also washed away the saliva that covered my entire left shoulder.

I reached out and touched my bare left shoulder. The smoothness was gone, replaced by a sluggish feeling. I subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, it was finally cleansed.

After leaving the bathroom, Kellan and Daphne were sitting opposite each other.

Daphne's expression remained indifferent, with only a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes. When Kailan spoke, she would occasionally lower the corner of her mouth to express her anger towards her with a disdainful expression.

Kailan looked carefree and didn't take Daphne's dissatisfaction and anger seriously. She must have been accustomed to her own way of doing things and could take all feedback from around her indifferently.

As I walked to the closet to pick out a new shirt, I heard a whistle behind me. Without thinking twice, it must have been Kellan.

"Hey, that guy over there is quite handsome~" Kailan teased in a weird way.

I had no time to pay attention to her and continued to change my clothes.

After changing clothes, as soon as he turned around, he met Kailan's resentful eyes.

While he was wondering, he heard Kailan say: "Hey, sister, this man really doesn't have a good thing. He just put someone to sleep with his front foot, and then ignored him with his back foot."

I was so choked by her words, why did you say I slept with you? It was obviously you who slept with me, okay?

But then I thought about it, there seems to be no difference between her sleeping with me and me sleeping with her, that is, the active and passive objects are reversed.

After thinking for a while, I decided to give up arguing with her, walked over, and said to the two of them, "I'm a little hungry. Do you want to go to a restaurant to eat together?"

Daphne hesitated for a moment, but Kailan looked like he should have done it a long time ago. He stretched out his hand, hugged Daphne, and walked out of the door first, heading towards the restaurant.

During the meal, Kailan deliberately sat down next to me, which made Daphne a little uncomfortable. Mr. Mavro and several other older people, after seeing this, they all showed ambiguous expressions to me. The smile made me quite embarrassed.

After dinner, I made an excuse to leave the airship and wander around the base.

This is the third day in Lijie City. Many of the descendants of the legendary heroes who are stationed here have already mailed out their written letters. It is estimated that groups of descendants of the legendary heroes will rush here soon.

I guess that to this day, my whereabouts and poaching of the descendants of the legendary hero are already in the hands of Carter Horton. The reason why he hasn't taken action against me yet is because he is concerned about my intentions.

It is estimated that he will not attack me rashly until the intention of my move is thoroughly investigated.

After all, there is York and Hancheng as a precedent. Airui City, which is in the midst of a storm, does not want to lose the total amount of mineral deposits that have been mined for several years and a huge amount of compensation all at once because of impulsiveness.

Carter Horton's caution is necessary, and I have indeed prepared a back-up for him. An army led by the old Duke himself is currently stationed on the public plain, waiting for news that I am trapped.

Once I was besieged by Carter Horton's men, the old Duke would immediately use the excuse that the Orc King's son-in-law was making things difficult for him, attack the city of Airy, and begin to invade the outlying towns of Airy City.

This may seem overbearing and unreasonable, but in fact, how many people in Zephyr Continent today are willing to be reasonable?

In order to plunder the purple heart grass, the Knights of the Round Table led a group to invade the city of Annas, and burned, killed and looted wantonly, committing all kinds of evil.

Who can guarantee that behind all this, there is no appointment from York and Hancheng?

They openly occupied the mines of Dasay City on public land. With this move, how could Ai Rui City and York Han City get rid of their relationship?

Knowing that the tribesmen were abducted to York and Han to become slaves, not only did they not ask for it, but they also remained silent. Who can guarantee that there is no room for communication among the top leaders of the five countries?

Therefore, it is said that the five kingdoms in the legendary heroic period are no longer as close as they were at the beginning. They all have their own agendas, support each other and check and balance each other, and constantly find ways to gain more benefits for their families.

There are now very few upright dignitaries like the old Duke who only care about the interests of the country.

This is also the biggest reason for the rift between me and the Fairy Queen. In order to consolidate the status of the Fairy Tribe, she has resorted to some unscrupulous means. If I didn't have the backing of Fort Vicky as my support, I would have been killed by her long ago.

Therefore, if you want to gain a foothold in Zephyr Continent, strength is the most important, whether it is your own strength or the strength of your team.

I did not hesitate to encourage the Orc King and recruit the descendants of the legendary heroes to settle in Dashai City in his name. Overtly, this was to help the Orc King win over people's hearts and accelerate the collapse of the Carter family's centripetal force. Secretly, it was to supplement the strength of the new heroic guild and help me. The road to domination in the future is laid with a thick foundation.
