Chapter 373 A Smile Will Kill Someone
Old Patch didn't seem to hear the surprise in my tone, and continued his work while saying: "He was just passing by here, and he seemed to be holding something in his hand."
"What?" My curiosity came up.
"I didn't notice." He cut off a corner with great effort and said, "But it doesn't feel like a weapon, more like a gift."
"Oh? A gift?" My gossip soul burned brightly: "So, he is going to attend a friend's wedding?"
"I don't know." Old Patch shook his head: "But it doesn't seem like it. He's not wearing formal clothes."
Not wearing formal attire.
I nodded. It seemed that this was indeed not the way to attend a wedding. A person of his status would definitely dress up formally when participating in any public sexual activity. From this point of view, his trip It has nothing to do with any activities.
In that case, will it be a private party?
I fell into thinking: Harold told me before that he was the city lord. When he said this, his eyes did not wander and his expression did not hesitate. In other words, he was probably not lying.
Since he didn't lie, what was he doing with the gift box?
Could it be that he has received some news?
Or could it be that he already knew the candidate for the next city lord and went over there to express his determination?
Although I don't think Harold would do such a thing, given the general trend, it is not impossible.
However, the question arises. This is already the center of the civilian area, far away from the aristocratic area. Could it be said that the heir of the city lord lives in the civilian area?
Or was it that they finally decided to meet in a civilian area in order to conceal their identity?
One hypothesis after another flew out, and I found that my mind was getting wider and wider.
After a while, I shook my feverish head and said, "I'm leaving. I'll chat with you again when I have time."
Old Patch said 'hmm' without raising his head.
Once he is immersed in the state of production, he will completely ignore everything around him.
I closed the door gently and walked towards home. I passed by the cafe and looked inside. Surprisingly, I didn't see the proprietress.
"Hey, the boss lady who is always here actually doesn't stick to her post today." I smiled and thought for a moment: Could it be that she went to the toilet?
When I thought of the boss lady going to the bathroom, I opened up another idea: If Jackson was here, he would definitely try his best to spy on her. A person as boring as him would definitely do such a sultry thing. Come.
However, after searching around, I couldn't find any sign of Jackson. I guess he was either on a trip or helping with decoration at home.
After looking at it for a while, I finally felt bored, so I strolled towards home.
As I approached the door of my house, I heard Cagalli arguing with someone in the yard, and the sound was very loud.
I walked to the door curiously and poked my head slightly: several unknown strangers, armed with weapons, were arguing with Cagalli fiercely. From the content, it seemed to be related to the guild.
It seems that someone has reached out to my guild.
I pretended not to know and coughed twice, attracting everyone's attention. I stepped forward with a smile on my face and said: "Hello, my friend, I am the president of the Fearless Guild. May I ask if you are here? What are you doing?"
"Are you the president?" Those people stared, looked me up and down, then pointed at Cagalli: "What is she?"
I continued to smile: "Oh, she is my wife."
"It turns out it's just the president's prank, so what the hell are you pretending to be?"
Hearing this person's unclean words, Cagalli turned pale with anger and was about to take action. I walked up quickly, stopped her, turned around and said with a smile: "My friend, if something happens, can you help me?" Can you take a step to talk?"
"Borrow me a step? Why!" The man said arrogantly: "I just want to say here that you, the president of a small guild, are nothing like me!"
"This, it's not good."
"What's wrong!" The leader glared: "Fuck! Who the hell dares to say anything wrong!"
"Actually, I have a few shortcomings."
Before I could finish my words, the leader interrupted again: "What's wrong with you has nothing to do with me. Our brothers are here for one purpose today. Should you, the Fearless Guild, submit to our master?"
Sure enough, have you already started attacking the small guild?
I shook my head: "You don't know something. This problem of mine is very bad, really."
"The boss is asking you something, answer it quickly!" One of the menacing men reached out and hit me on the nose.
Boom!
I didn't dodge or dodge, I took the punch forcefully, and my nosebleed instantly flowed down. The soreness of my nose also made it impossible to suppress the bursting of my tear glands, and tears burst out uncontrollably at this moment.
However, I did not bend down, nor lean back, nor did I even make any movement. I just smiled quietly, and by the way, behind me, I motioned with my hands to everyone not to move and let me handle it.
I closed my eyes for a moment to get over the soreness in my nose, and continued, "Can you give me a few days to think about it?"
"I think it's shameless for you!" The adventurer stepped forward again and gave me a hard slap in the face.
My cheeks were slightly red and warm, but I still insisted on smiling: "You are right, I still ask you to give me a few days to think about it, okay?"
"Fuck, hit me!"
With just this sound, I was pushed to the ground by several people, punched and kicked. I suffered silently, remembering every punch and kick they abused me. The pain was weaker than the monster's attack. It's a lot, but I want to remember this humiliation deeply. This is my first indirect contact with a high-ranking person. In this world of hierarchical strength, I want to see whether the rights left by your blood will last forever. , or the strength I have accumulated little by little is more ruthless!
After a round of beatings, they finally stopped. The leader grabbed me by the collar and picked me up. He took a sip and said viciously: "You have the guts, I tell you, I will come here tomorrow. If I do it again There is no reply, don’t blame me for not giving you a chance!”
After that, he left angrily.
Before leaving, a few people took a greedy look at the girls in my guild.
The three women helped me up with trembling hands. Phoenix had tears streaming down his face. On the other side, Lily and Lizzy were already frightened and started crying. The others were also shaking with anger.
"Why?"
Cagalli asked me, her voice choked.
"You can't do anything in our guild, let alone leave any clues. It's not yet time." I gently stroked their cheeks and said with a smile, "However, they will definitely not come again tomorrow."
Looking at the surprised looks in Barbara and Phoenix's eyes, I said, "I used to have a nickname, and it was this kid who gave it to me."
As I said that, I pointed at Billy.
Billy rolled his eyes and sighed: "Xiaoyi usually doesn't smile when dealing with enemies. Smiling will kill people."
