Chapter 341

"He is twisted to begin with. What is hateful is that he pretends to be so good on the surface that Tina and I don't see it. Even if we see it later, there is no way to undo it and we can only make mistakes. Tina originally wanted to persist for a while. Two years later, when the time came, I would completely break up with him. Who knew that her sudden death would disrupt the overall plan and lead to the tragedy of little Sapph."

"Is it an extension of hatred?"

"Yes, he hated Tina, and he also hated her daughter, even though his blood was flowing in her daughter's body. He couldn't do anything about Tina, so he vented his anger on little Sav. After Tina's death He even tortured her even more, beating and scolding her even if she violated his will even if she was tortured to the point of mental abnormality. "

"Didn't you intervene?"

"Do you really think my intervention was a good thing for little Sapph?"

"Well, it will make her endure more torture."

"Well, unless I snatch the child back and train it myself, rash intervention will only bring more pain. As for snatching her back? What position do I have to compete with Sullivan? He is the mortal enemy I trained."

"Oh, that's right. I'm afraid the old lion is still happy to see this situation."

"So I can only watch little Saff struggle in pain and despair, and watch her become timid and fearful of outsiders day by day. I don't even dare to see her more, because every time she comes to see me, she goes back I will be beaten twice as hard in the future.”

"Until that day, she completely broke out. Haha, I was even a little grateful to Sullivan. If he hadn't gone too far and made little Saff rebound in despair, maybe one day, little Saff would be like Tina. The result."

"So, I wanted to kill that idiot with my own hands, but I couldn't move him. I could only watch him dangling in front of my eyes."

"Oh, so in the end, the performance became a reality."

"Yes, and it's developing towards the situation I least want to see." The old man smiled bitterly, every wrinkle on his face showing regret, "His hatred for me has made him lose his mind. , of course, I admit, I also lost my mind a little, and as a result, the situation became increasingly uncontrollable, and the two camps clashed in various fields. The bloodless disputes made the political situation of the empire a mess."

"Every field? Hahaha." Xiure squinted his eyes and chuckled, "His Excellency the Duke seems to really hate him. He really went to trouble to avenge his daughter and granddaughter."

"Haha, did you see it?" The old Duke smiled in amusement, "I really didn't expect this."

"The Legion's interference in government affairs is the most taboo thing for those in power. Compared with powerful ministers like the Duke, generals who try to overstep their duties and interfere in government affairs are the emperor's biggest enemies. Make sure you don't touch the territory of the Legion, and do it bit by bit. To induce the other party to extend its tentacles to government affairs, this is because he intends to use the old lion's hand to avenge himself."

"Hehehe, I didn't induce him, it was his own decision."

"Hehe, yes, everything is his own decision." With a meaningful smile on his face, Shuer raised his index finger, "I still have a question, and I would like to ask His Excellency the Duke to help me clear up my doubts."

"You want to ask why he is still willing to cooperate with our exercises even though he clearly hates us more and more, but even now, he refuses to announce the facts?"

"No, no, no, I'm not surprised at all that he would do this. You just said that Earl Sullivan is rigid and arrogant and values ​​status. Such people have a common problem, which is that power is more important than anything else, even higher. Live your own dignity. In their eyes, except for your own life, there is nothing that can be compared with power. Cooperating with you to continue to conceal the truth will allow him to hold power more firmly. Of course, he will not be stupid. To the point of rejection.”

"You are so well prepared for coming to the Lion City this time. Haha, you have studied Sullivan so thoroughly." The old Duke pointed at himself, "It must be the same for me. In your heart, I am also one of the possible enemies. One, you should be ready to go to war with me."

"Haha." Xiure didn't say anything, just smiled noncommittally.

"In that case, what do you want to ask?"

"I have asked the same question several times during this trip to the Lion City. I am going to ask it again in front of you. Why?" Shuer said with a half-smile, "Why are you telling me this?"

"Like an ordinary person complaining about the trivial matters in life, you tell me all the inside stories. Hey, if you were such a talkative person, you would probably have no bones left 40 years ago. But you do this now. Yes, I want to know the reason. Oh, let me explain in advance that this is not a question and answer between politicians, it is just a concern for Saff's current friend and future husband."

"Ask knowingly, if I don't tell you everything clearly, you are likely to regard me as an enemy. People like you, as long as you set a goal and do everything you can to achieve it, you will annoy me to death I still want to live for a few more years."

"Haha, it seems that I am not the only one who is doing research. Your Excellency, the Duke, is also doing a good job in my research."

"Hmph, you will understand when you have a granddaughter in the future. You are not a 'possible' enemy, you are my enemy. What's so strange about studying enemies."

"Hahaha, I'm really sorry for accidentally becoming an enemy." Xiuer's laughter suddenly stopped and he said seriously, "But, I hope to know a more practical reason." "That's why I said you knew what you were asking. Why bother asking me when you have already thought about it." The old Duke sneered, "Since I can try to use Leon to get revenge, why can't I use you? The fact that you and little Saff came to see me this time means that you are leaving."

"Did she tell you?"

"No, but I can imagine that if you want to heal her inner trauma, leaving the Lion City is the best choice. So if you are sincere to her, you will definitely take her away. And with your character, before leaving , will definitely solve all possible hidden dangers, such as me, and another example, Sullivan."

"Sav's child must have told you what he has done before. She is too simple, and you can tell the truth in just a few words. So you must know how controlling Sullivan is over that child. Qiang, he has never given up on regaining control of Safu in the past few years, otherwise it would be equivalent to admitting his shame. It was me who kept suppressing him, so he did not dare to go too far. When he knows that you are leaving the Lion City, he might do something When something happens, you won’t wait passively for it to happen, you will only take the initiative and solve the problem completely.”

"Ah."

"So, you want to teach Sullivan a lesson, and I want to do the same, so why can't I tell you everything and then lend your hand to teach him a lesson he will never forget?"

"Tsk, tsk, as expected, then I understand."

"You've asked, now it's my turn. I also have a question." The old Duke gently twirled his beard and was silent for a moment before saying, "What do you need my cooperation for? You don't want to tell me that you don't need my cooperation, do you? , then there is no need to explain clearly what you said today."

"Haha, it's actually very simple." Xiure said with a serious face, "Please treat us to a meal at noon."

"what?"

"I have long wanted to try the delicacies at the banquet hosted by the Duke's Mansion." Licking his lips, Seul said expectantly, "No matter what, I don't mind if you use me to take revenge on Count Sullivan. Your Excellency, the Duke is Shouldn’t this wish of mine be fulfilled?”

"Oh, then what?"

"Then? Then at the dinner table, I will report to you the arrangements and plans for Saff's future. You are her grandfather. I want to take her home, so of course I have to report it clearly to you, right? "

"I understand. You also want to induce Sullivan to lose his mind and come to you." The old man thought about it and said, "However, are you sure that doing this will really affect Sullivan? Although he is stupid, after all, he is in the legion. Li has been leading troops for many years, and he has great power now, so don’t underestimate him."

"I understand, you don't need to be so tactful. With my status, he will definitely not dare to attack me, but it is not easy for me to attack him. After all, there is no direct connection between the Dark Moon Temple and the Jade Empire. Although there is water This relationship with the Temple, but it is a newly established connection after all. Neither he nor the Lionheart King cares too much about my attitude, so no matter what I do, it will not have any actual impact on him, let alone Don’t talk about hitting him hard.”

"Yes." The old Duke nodded. No need to say anything more. People who understand will naturally understand, just like Shuer.

"But, what if I told you that at the Water Curtain Festival, the Dark Moon Church and the Water Temple will officially form an alliance?"

"What?" Even with the calmness of the old man, he was startled, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Haha, in addition, what if I tell you that yesterday's crisis in Lion City was solved by me personally, and that I also personally demolished one of the emerald lights that the empire is proud of, and am I planning to demolish five more? "

"Sullivan is going to be in trouble." The old man was silent, and after a long time, he sighed: "You must have deliberately asked the insider to keep it strictly confidential, and deliberately left us a chance."

"The Lord says that all my believers should guard their unspoken love and not take credit for themselves or boast about their achievements. The Lord's will is the will of our believers. Praise the Lord of humility. Holy is it."

"It's true. I suddenly feel a little uneasy when I think of handing over little Sav to you." The old Duke looked at Shuer with strange eyes. "I always feel that even if you sell her, she will be happy." Come with you."

"Well, I've sold it a few times, and she's really happy."

"You guy." The old man's beard stood up and he threatened fiercely, "Don't forget, you still want to taste the food of the Duke's Palace."

"I was wrong, Grandpa, please forgive me for being rude."

"Asshole, you can't call me grandpa."

"Okay, grandpa, got it, grandpa."
