Chapter 2546 Crying and Laughing

The Fairy Queen put down the tea cup, and with a crisp and subtle sound, her slightly deep voice sounded again: "Xiao Yi, what do you think?"

"I agree with what Anastas said."

"Oh? Don't you have any objections?"

I shook my head and said: "When I was chatting with Carter Horton, I didn't notice that he was uneasy at all. On the contrary, he looked calm and calm, so I guess that Airei City is still under his control. This kind of If we rush to send troops at this time, not only will it not effectively weaken the status of the Carter family, but because of their status as invaders, it will stimulate the civilians and poor people in Airey City and make them sympathize with the Carter family, unite and fight against the outside world. At that time, our It’s going to be pretty bad.”

The Fairy Queen shook her head with a smile, tapped Anasta and me in the air with her index finger, and said seriously: "You are still too young to see the hidden truths, truths and lies hidden in this."

Sighing with a hint of regret, he added: "But it doesn't matter, it can increase your knowledge and experience. Even if you don't attack the city once, it doesn't mean anything."

Anastas looked at the Fairy Queen in confusion, not knowing what she meant.

I also frowned, with a solemn look on my face, and for a moment I couldn’t figure out why Grandma Queen said these words. Could it be that Carter Horton’s calmness was all fake? Has he fallen into a desperate situation of internal and external troubles?

Just as he was puzzled, a waiter came in a hurry, knelt down on one knee, and presented a secret letter.

After receiving the secret letter, the Fairy Queen waved her hand, and the waiter stood up and left.

He opened the seal, unfolded the secret letter, looked at it briefly, then threw the secret letter on the table and said, "Let's take a look, he came from Airui City."

I picked up the secret letter in confusion and read it softly: "The tax amount for the whole year is 30.1 billion gold coins, and the consumption amount for the whole year is 40 billion gold coins."

And in the middle and lower part of the secret letter, a slim account book is attached.

"This is."

"This is the income and expenditure of Airui City this year," the Fairy Queen said: "The vacancy of more than nine billion gold coins can only be spent from the treasury. However, this is only the vacancy this year. The year with the largest vacancy will be a disaster. In that year of rampage, in that year alone, Airei City emptied half of its treasury.”

Picking up the tea cup, she gently fiddled with the lid of the cup, pushed aside the floating tea leaves, took a sip, exhaled slightly, and said: "Today's Ai Rui City relies entirely on the money borrowed from your adoptive father. The operation itself has long become an empty frame."

Hearing this, I suddenly remembered the words that Carter Horton said inadvertently when we were having dinner: Airui City was once the leading business empire in Zephyr Continent, and it will definitely reach its peak again in the future.

Now it seems that he did not say what he said to me, but he hoped to convey it to Master Dewey through me, so that his adoptive father can generously donate money to help him solve his urgent needs.

Damn it, if I had known he had such thoughts, I shouldn't have said this to Master Dewey!

"Looking at your remorseful expression, did you do something inappropriate?" the Fairy Queen asked in a leisurely tone.

"Yes" I nodded and told her the conversation with Master Dewey.

"Forget it, just think that the Carter family is not exhausted yet, let them be free for a while longer."

The Elf Queen on the side put down her account book and said puzzledly: "Since you have anticipated that Airui City is experiencing internal and external troubles, why don't we take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to expand our territory?"

The Fairy Queen chuckled, waved her hand, and said, "It's too late."

"Why is it too late?" She became even more curious.

"When Xiao Yi told Master Dewey the exact conversation with Carter Horton, I'm afraid Master had already made a decision. He would not let his money go to waste, so even if we broke into Airei City , I’m afraid it will suffer huge losses and encounter unimaginable resistance.”

She paused, looked at me, and said, "...resistance from Master Dewey."

I remained silent. In fact, I really didn’t have much to say. Master Dewey would definitely not refuse the huge aid of more than 10 billion gold coins. Unless the conquered territory of Airui City was given to him with both hands, he would definitely Use your own power to forcibly intervene in the war.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but lower my head and murmured: "I'm sorry."

"Look up, it's not your fault."

The Elf Queen's tone was like a spring breeze, clearing away the deep guilt in my heart.

"Grandma, what are you going to do with John Davis' family?"

The Elf Queen calmly changed the subject.

"It depends on whether John Davis is smart enough," the Fairy Queen said calmly: "If he can see clearly the form, knows who to be loyal to, and knows how to be loyal, then I will use him again, what's the harm, but If he pretends not to understand and insists on playing off his little cleverness, I won’t mind operating on him to deter the bad guys."

"Hopefully he can see the form."

I murmured.

After leaving the palace, I went straight to the prison and met John Davis again. His condition was even worse than the last time I saw him. He was completely disfigured, but fortunately his eyes were still sharp.

After seeing me, Davis climbed up from the ground with all his strength, holding on to the metal fence as thick as his wrist, and looked at me eagerly: "Sir, my family."

"A good news or a bad news, which one do you want to hear?"

He lowered his head, thought for a while, and said, "Good news."

"Most of your family members have taken over, and I want to congratulate you for having a very sensible little daughter."

When he heard the word 'little daughter', John Davis's eyes suddenly widened. His hand holding the fence couldn't help trembling, and his trembling lips kept uttering the same tone: "Okay! Okay! Okay."

After several calls in a row, he knelt on the ground without any warning and kowtowed heavily to me: "Thank you, thank you so much for rescuing Caitlin! Thank you so much."

He cried, he actually cried.

First he cried lightly, then his tears flowed uncontrollably, and finally he cried like a child.

The cry echoed in the empty prison, which seemed extremely miserable. However, I did not sympathize with him.

After a while, the crying stopped. I squatted down and whispered: "There is another bad news. After hearing this, it is not too late for you to cry again."

John Davis wiped his red old eyes with the back of his hand, raised his eyes to look at me, and waited for the bad news to come with calm eyes.

"Your eldest son and second son, probably. Anyway, your two older sons are still controlled by the Carter family. In other words, I failed to save your two sons."

John Davis was startled when he heard this, and then he laughed. The laughter was louder than the cry, and it echoed in the prison like a jackal howling.
