Chapter 2073 Means
I want to think about it, but keep my words soft so that we can continue the conversation.
Silently organizing my words, I said: "His expensive coat and the aristocratic temperament he inadvertently revealed betrayed him."
"You have really good eyesight." Jefferson Gasil admired him: "At most, I only think his clothes are expensive, but as for his aristocratic temperament, my eyesight is still too poor compared with yours."
"Thank you, thank you." I pretended to be humble and said, "It was just a lucky guess."
"That's enough to prove that you have unique vision," Jefferson Gasiel praised again.
However, he praised me again and again, but was reluctant to bring the topic back to Eddie Aldington. This made me quite concerned. Is he hiding something?
So, I stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point: "Can you please tell me which family Aldington comes from?"
Gasil pressed his lips tightly and remained silent for a while, then he said: "It's not convenient for me to reveal this kind of thing. You'd better ask Aldington directly."
Jefferson Gassier was extremely cautious on this issue. He even refused to reveal Aldington's identity personally, which only aroused my curiosity even more.
Eddie Aldington, who is he?
I really want to ask in person, but because Phoenix and Cagalli are very close to me, this guy is quite hostile to me.
If you ask directly, you are likely to be ignored, but ignoring is okay, but if you tell nonsense, it will be very bad.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little troubled. I thought about it a little. When I looked up, I saw Yura's eyes drifting over. I immediately had an idea. When I looked at her, I winked unnoticeably.
Yura was gifted and intelligent, and he understood it after a moment's hesitation. So he took advantage of the elf team's chat to find out about Aldington's identity, and quickly achieved his goal.
Jefferson Gassier, who had been silent during this period, suddenly whispered to me: "Your women are powerful enough."
I looked confused: "Huh?"
"Not only does he have great power, but he also has great communication skills. To be honest, I'm a little envious of him."
"Thank you for the compliment." I smiled back: "This is also because I have many fiancées. If you are envious, you can also be like me and find a dozen like-minded wives. There will always be a few that meet your requirements."
Gasil smiled bitterly and said: "I neither have your status nor your huge financial resources."
"Financial resources? How can you see it?"
"The cafe under your guild's name can be said to be making a lot of money every day. It's more than enough to support the operation of a large guild."
I half-smiled but said, "It seems you know me very well~"
"I can't say I understand. I have to know what kind of person I saved twice in a row."
After we got home and finished cleaning up, Yura and I sat on the sofa opposite each other and listened to her repeat the information she had obtained.
"Eddie Aldington belongs to a mid-level noble family. The family territory is in the Emerald City. I heard that he is the most potential genius in the family. Because he is a very special roaming gunner, he is highly valued by the family."
I curled my lips: "That's all?"
"More than that." Yura smiled slightly and said, "Guess who is standing behind his family?"
"who?"
"Elder Lindsay."
"It's her." I pinched my chin and fell into thought.
The relationship between Elder Lindsay and me can be said to be on the same level. Although it can’t be seen on the surface, she always pops up to disrupt the situation at every important meeting. From welcoming back the goblin clan to misinterpreting the contents of Master Dewey’s letter, she has done this several times. Whenever I come into contact with her, she seems to be a stumbling block, repeatedly holding me back.
This makes me have to doubt the appearance of Eddie Aldington. Could this be part of Elder Lindsay's conspiracy?
"Are you worried that the appearance of this lecher was deliberately arranged by Elder Lindsay?" Lilea, who was leaning on the sofa, suddenly said.
I nodded.
"You don't have to worry about this at all." She said as she lay down, pillowing my legs, looking at my eyes, her bright starry eyes twinkling: "Luxury people have very narrow vision, even if someone Reminder, I still don’t see the overall situation, this can be seen from the stupid nobles I come into contact with.”
"Idiot nobles?" I couldn't help but smile: "You are the only one who would describe the noble men of Airui City like this."
"Maybe." She shook her head, settled into a comfortable position, slowly closed her eyes, and said with a scornful smile: "Those idiots with sperm in their heads have been impatient for the moment they first came into contact. Taking advantage of me and pretending to be a dignified gentleman is simply ridiculous."
"When I meet such idiots, as long as I smile at them, they will come over like a licking dog, sticking out their tongues to please me with information and clues. No matter what I want, they will always help me in the shortest possible time. I got it, and all I have to do is show my dignity like a queen and keep them appetizing from a distance or a short distance."
"What if someone is dissatisfied with your indifference?" Yura asked: "Those lecherous people are not fools, and they will not let you have fun all the time."
"Isn't there a custom shop?" Lilea smiled slightly: "As long as you give them some specially prepared potions, the minds of those idiots will become confused. Then you can throw them into any custom shop and let them do whatever they want. Afterwards, just tip the service staff a little more.”
"Drug them?" Yura raised his eyebrows: "You really dare to do it. If those people's family knew about this, it might escalate the conflict to an international issue."
"Don't worry, can anyone trespass on my territory?" Lilea sneered: "You should have heard a little bit about this matter. I remember Carter Holden's seventh son, or... The eighth son is here. Wasn't it just because he trespassed into our intelligence agency that he and his guards were killed by the previous intelligence agency leader and burned to ashes? Oh, by the way, this is a secret. I shouldn't do it casually. It was leaked, oh haha.”
Yura looked slightly stunned: "He is the seventh son, nominally my cousin. The answer given above is that he is missing. I didn't expect that he was killed by your appointment."
"There is nothing we can do about it." Lilea pursed her lips: "The intelligence agency has always been the most confidential place. Let alone an outsider like your cousin, even a member of the same clan can do anything without permission. If you break in, you will inevitably die."
Seeing that the two women were starting to argue again, I quickly interjected: "I'm a little curious, where is your headquarters?"
"Have you been there?" Lilea opened her eyes and blinked her starry eyes: "It's that material store."
