Chapter 2535 For the Family

John Davis' eyes were no longer cloudy, but sharp, as sharp as a sword.

I know he must have thought of something.

"Being able to kidnap a child from Moonlight City without anyone noticing, send it to a magic airship smoothly, and hide it in the bottom warehouse without being discovered, or in other words, without being reported, do you think that person who can do this would be Does a group of human traffickers have the energy they deserve?”

Without waiting for his answer, I shook my head with a smile and said: "Let alone a group of human traffickers, even ordinary nobles cannot do it, unless they are a high noble with a certain status, and the prerequisite is that they are local high nobles in Moonlight City."

"But you don't know something. The family education of the local nobles in Moonlight City is very strict. Not to mention kidnapping and selling children, or doing some illegal and disorderly things that are not in line with the status, there is a possibility of being expelled from the family. Enjoying the huge How could they, who have abundant resources and supreme power, risk being expelled from their family just for the mere profit they can get from selling children? They are not fools!"

"So, after arresting all the traffickers and their accomplices, I sent people to investigate all the suspicious people, including the royal family, the aristocracy, and the civilian class. It is interesting to say that during the investigation process, I accidentally came into contact with I hit the bottom line of some rebellious nobles, and the result was a huge wave. This huge wave made me a little at a loss, but it also successfully avoided your suspicion of me. Am I right?"

John Davis's eyes were literally bursting with fire. He gasped, gritted his steel teeth, and roared like a beast from his throat.

"Don't get excited, it's not over yet." I waved my hand and said with a smile: "It was precisely because you relaxed my vigilance that you didn't destroy the document related to the human traffickers. Let me guess, why didn't you destroy it? , but hide it in the secret compartment of the second drawer on the left side of your office."

I deliberately remained silent to whet his appetite, until John Davis held his hands on the iron railing and his blood vessels swelled like trembling earthworms, then I continued: "Because this is a chip, no, this one This stack of documents is your bargaining chip, the bargaining chip that you plan to use to keep your family standing even after you retire!"

"John Davis, you are really a realistic and interesting person. You despise your parents and your motherland. You came all the way to Airey City to work hard in life. When you were prosperous, you should have been sitting in peace. When you are enjoying the glory of life, you are greedy and want to seize the fruits of Master Dewey's labor. In the end, you steal the chicken but lose the rice. However, even so, you still refuse to give up and want to use the resources at hand to do more to Master Dewey. Fanatical revenge, you seemed to win the second confrontation, but in fact you lost even more completely."

With a chuckle, I said: "Davis, are you an impulsive and irritable minor? How old were you at that time? Even if you are a grandfather, your children are not young anymore. You are such an old person. , you are still so irrational, you have already lived in a dog's belly for all your years, right?"

"Now, let's not talk about these past events." I waved my hands as if to shoo away flies, and sighed: "I just don't understand. Even if you are not loyal to Moonlight City, why are you also unfaithful to Airei City? That is the dream country that you have always longed for and fought for!"

"What are you worried about? Huh?" I approached John Davis and asked in a deep voice: "Worried that your master will abandon you after you are no longer of use? Those who have been bullied by you and oppressed by your family Will other families take the opportunity to besiege your family? Or, in fact, all your loyalty is just an act. You never intend to be loyal to anyone, any organization, or any country. The only person you are loyal to is yourself. ?”

Hearing this, John Davis suddenly smiled, his teeth full of white, bright and frightening.

"Elder" John Davis said hoarsely: "You know me very well, really know me well. You know me better than my family, you know me better than my friends, you know me better than anyone else."

He suddenly burst into a fit of violent coughing, as if he was coughing out his lungs.

"Water" I ordered.

Soon, a guard brought a bowl of water.

John Davis was not polite. He picked up the bowl and took a big gulp. But he drank too quickly and a mouthful of water spurted out, which directly wet one of my trouser legs.

Instead of apologizing, he wiped his mouth and continued drinking until he drank all the water in the bowl.

Taking a deep breath, he leaned against the iron fence, seemingly resting.

After a moment of silence, his voice sounded again. Although it was much more pleasant, it was still hoarse: "Sir Elder, have you ever thought about why you know me so well?"

"Oh? Why?" I asked with a smile.

"Because you are very similar to me, both in terms of personality and nature."

"Stop it, I have people who are loyal to me. I am loyal to Master Dewey and my two majesties."

"Be more loyal to your family, right?" John Davis turned his face and looked at me, with a smile in his eyes.

I was startled when I heard this, thought for a moment, and said, "Yes, I am more loyal to my family."

"That's right, Mr. Elder, you and I are really similar."

John Davis took a deep breath and said slowly: "I admit that I am a white-eyed wolf, unfilial to my parents, and unloyal to the motherland. But there is one thing you are wrong about. I am not only loyal to myself, I am also loyal to myself." I am loyal to my family, I am loyal to my wife, my children, and my concubines. Everything I do is to allow my family to continue, and to continue well."

"I know that the patriarch of the Carter family is using me. They need me as a chess piece to get what they want, but I am using them to improve my family's status in Airui City!"

"You are right. The reason why I wrote down part of the criminal process in detail and included it in the secret grid is to use it as a bargaining chip to threaten the Carter family to continue to maintain my family's status in Airui City. But all this is not my fault. Proof of loyalty to the family!"

"But your loyalty is based on destroying the stability of the country and the happiness of other innocent humans."

"I can't control that much!" John Davis roared hoarsely: "I only want my family to be good! As long as my family is good! As long as my family is good!!!"

His roars continued to echo in the cell, as if they were stirred up waves that could not calm down for a long time.

After a long silence, I spoke first and said softly: "But a family like this cannot last forever."
