This witch calls me daddy

Chapter 354 Black-hearted Devin

Listening to the gurgling sound of the fountain in his ears and looking up at the bright night sky, Lu Ye blew the cool breeze and tried to calm down.

He was really a little impulsive just now, and he even clearly felt that if the young noble really dared to swing an ax at him, he would really turn around and kill him.

This is very different from the established policy of unity.

why?

Because he was irritated, he was irritated by the boring games of the nobles.

this is not right.

He asked himself, it was his inner mentality of transcending this world that made him live less like a human being and more like a god and demon.

Ignore life and death, ignore the rules of the world, and want to simply solve the problem in a more simple and crude way...

Taking a deep breath, Lu Ye felt that something was wrong with him. He needed warmth at this time.

"Hey, Anjie, what are you doing?"

This last time, I seemed to hear Ge Lin's voice. The child was still so reticent.

Hmm...and Shanshan, I don't know what she is doing.

Sure enough, only children can make him feel the reality of life.

Hearing the voices of his daughters, Lu Ye smiled knowingly and felt his mood improved: "It's not possible now, but I will come to you soon when I finish my work. Children, please be safe."

Just as he was about to make another call, he was interrupted by the sound of footsteps behind him.

Lu Ye narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment and said, "I will leave tomorrow after the Kingdom Celebration is over. I want to go to Lusen."

"Walder, you actually said bad things about me! I heard it!" The voice of thorns appeared indeed.

Lu Ye turned around and saw a black evening dress swaying in the night wind, still incredibly beautiful.

Anjie obviously suppressed her voice and whispered: "In the theater! Watching a stage play!"

Xiaobai's voice also sounded: "Father, where are you? Do you want to come and play with us?"

Sophia nodded lightly: "I understand, in your opinion, the royal family, the nobility, and my life... are really not worth mentioning. So, are you leaving? Back to the battlefield?"

Although Sophia was a little curious about why she wanted to go to Lusen, she didn't ask. She just couldn't hide her disappointment: "Then next time... will you come to this boring country again?"

After hanging up the communication, Lu Ye chuckled and shook his head.

Lu Ye chuckled: "This is not like what Thorns likes to do!"

"I seem...to make you angry." Sophia said and handed over a glass of wine.

"Huh?...Why are you sorry?"

"No, it's none of your business. You did the right thing. It's better to provoke him than to let him do whatever he wants. It's just that I suddenly felt... a little boring."

"it is good!"

Sophia's voice sounded softly: "...I'm sorry."

The night was hazy, and the princess's eyes were shining and clear, as if she were speaking:

Lu Ye took it and shook it, watching the bright red wine rippling in the cup.

Even though it's boring here, but I'm here, will you come for me?

Lu Ye let out a long sigh, clinked the cups together, and drank the whole drink in one gulp.

"I will if you need me. We... are friends."

Sophia's expression immediately brightened and she smiled coquettishly: "Others don't see it that way."

Lu Ye wanted to roll his eyes again.

If you do this, everyone will treat me as a prince-in-law, but of course they don’t see it that way.

The two of them were facing each other silently when suddenly, another figure came over.

Lu Ye looked in the direction of the person with vigilance. When he saw who it was, he was obviously taken aback.

One of them was the young master of the Luolai family, Nobe, who was in a mess and was only wearing a shirt.

Although his hair was a little messy, he had it caught twice and had a kind of careless casualness, which still made him personable. The other one is also a man in a formal suit, probably in his early thirties, exuding maturity and stability.

It was the man who reminded Lu Ye in the crowd just now not to kill anyone.

Sophia put away her expression, resumed her social butterfly smile, and introduced to Lu Ye: "This is Devin, Devin Luo Lai, Nobel's brother and the first heir of the Luo Lai family."

When the two came to the front, Devin first nodded to Lu Ye and stretched out a hand: "Northerners admire heroes and fear warriors, but the long period of comfort has made us forget what it looks like... So, I really like what you said. Either live or die, this is the meaning of fighting."

Lu Ye smiled awkwardly and shook hands with the other person, indicating that they knew each other.

He felt that he was still better at dealing with women and felt uncomfortable being praised by men.

Immediately afterwards, Nobe also extended his hand to Lu Ye: "Let's get to know each other formally?"

Lu Ye was startled. This was a little different from the irascible dude he imagined. Could he be such a person who could take things and let them go?

Isn't it normal for Huang Mao to beat up the young ones, find the old ones, and fight to the end without knowing how to live or die?

What happened to this 180-degree turn?

Holding hands together, Nobel chuckled: "I suddenly realized that if I didn't come to get to know you, I might not even be able to sleep well when I go back. I have to admit, you scared me."

Nobe had a wicked smile but was frank, allowing Lu Ye to see a different side of this person.

He looked at the two brothers thoughtfully.

One has a steady expression, and the other has an exaggerated expression, but the somewhat similar facial features all reveal shrewdness, especially Nobel, who is not as impulsive and superficial as he showed at the reception just now.

Lu Ye couldn't help but look at Sophia, because he felt that these three people had something in common:

They will all leave a simple and clear first impression, but they have different undertones underneath.

Whether he is a dandy or calm, or whether he is fiery and direct when we first meet Sophia, they are actually their disguises, the surface personalities they deliberately display!

But deep down, no one is a fool, they are all making shrewd calculations!

Are all aristocrats so cunning?

At this time, Nobel lost his previous sourness, but still remained straightforward and admitted with a smile: "You have to forgive my incompetence and anger as a loser. After all, what you took away was Wood Allen's most shining achievement." Pearl, no normal man can resist the urge to shake his fist at you."

Lu Ye smiled and nodded: "You are always welcome."

Brother Devin directly raised the wine glass and expressed his attitude: "No matter what kind of fun, it will not affect the Luolai family's loyalty to the royal family. This is my promise as the heir to the lordship. I hope Sophia will convey it to the respected King Gustar."

Sophia also smiled and raised her glass: "Definitely."

Nobe also looked at Lu Ye and raised his glass: "But as long as you don't get married and become a prince, I will still not give up."

Lu Ye looked at him seriously and raised his glass in response.

This person, knowing that there is no result, still has no hesitation, but he does have some potential for self-pua!

To put it simply, it’s a bit cheap.

After getting acquainted with each other again, Devin immediately got into the formal content and asked Lu Ye about the situation: "I heard that during Sophia's trip around the continent, you encountered pirates. Was it Mr. Lu who rescued Her Royal Highness? I would venture to ask ...Do you have connections in the tribal areas? Do you know anything about the local maritime plundering situation?"

Not sure why he asked this, Lu Ye was vague: "We are recruiting new soldiers locally. There are some connections among the locals, so we can get some information."

Dai Wen was obviously happy and explained to Lu Ye: "Sofia knows that our family is the largest shareholder of the Northern Shipyard and has always been very concerned about the shipping and trade situation. In recent years, the maritime disaster situation in the central and southern regions has become increasingly serious. This is very important for us. There are huge business opportunities for us. If Mr. Lu can help us avoid risks through local channels, this will be an important business route!"

Lu Ye suddenly realized that if someone in the shipping business could get in touch with the pirates, they could spend money to buy a road and the traffic would be smooth!

Probably chatting with smart people made Lu Ye's mind a little brighter. He smiled and responded: "No problem, I can use my connections to establish contact with the local area, but... you know we are in the mercenary business. , if the water transportation in the north needs escort service, I think I can still help."

This is reciprocity: I help you ensure the safety of the shipping route, and you provide me with shipping security services!

Devin and Nobel smiled at each other and nodded immediately: "This is a small matter! The stability of the Grand Line is of course inseparable from the efforts of all parties. But in addition, we have a more bold idea..."

Lu Ye: "I'm all ears."

Devin came closer and lowered his voice and said: "The rampant tribal pirates are caused by the long-term oppression of the Western Alliance countries. The relief of conflicts in a region should be multi-faceted. It should not only be high-intensity military pressure, but also Appropriate financial relief. So we thought...since Mr. Lu can provide channels, maybe we can also provide them with some...appropriate help?"

Lu Ye's eyes were wide open!

What this guy means is that... he not only wants to do escort and shipping, but also wants to do business with pirates?

What business can be done with pirates?

Lu Ye's surprise did not escape Devin's eyes. His face was calm, but his smile had a sinister air: "In addition to small-displacement civilian ships, we can also provide high-quality munitions, low-price staple food, and... stolen goods." Serve."

Lu Ye's heart was shattered!

Is this the plan to provide arms and ships to pirates while helping them sell their stolen goods? At the same time, they can also use the hands of pirates to attack competing shipping companies, maximize the benefits of their own business lines, and even not rule out monopolizing the water transportation business in the region?

It's you who is a policeman, and you who are a gangster. Are you trying to take advantage of both sides?

What kind of black heart does this Devin have to think of these things?
