A strange world

Chapter 1292 Chapter 214. Confusion and Complaints

"I think he just wants you to indulge in it and not care about tomorrow."

Black Widow helped Annan adjust his collar: "The big lord didn't show up at the banquet, only one of his sons."

Annan slapped away the black widow's hand that reached into the mage's robe: "Then he really underestimates me."

"Let's go out. They might get suspicious if we leave for too long."

Annan walked out of the bathroom and was stopped by the black widow.

"There's just one little detail missing."

"What details?"

"We've been in the bathroom for so long. If nothing happens..." Black Widow gently hugged Annan and lowered her head close to his cheek.

The hand holding a piece of nugget gold came in and stood between the two of them: "I found it outside, isn't it good?"

"Who cares?"

Black Widow picked up the gold nugget and threw it aside: "My dear, I did a whole day of acting for you, shouldn't you give me some reward?"

"How about allocating another batch of funds to the Punishment Corps this year?"

The Punishment Legion are all mages, and they are a group of restless mages. Therefore, the Punishment Legion, which is only larger in number than the Alien Legion, has almost as much funding as the three major legions combined...

But it's worth it, no one knows if the mages will come up with something weird.

Black Widow's fingers crossed Annan's lips: "You know, this is not what I want..."

"Miss Lucia, please respect yourself."

"What are you afraid of? Is it possible that I will eat you again?"

"You can't?"

The confusion in Black Widow's eyes returned to clarity: "You are such a hard-to-get boy..."

Annan picked up the gold nugget thrown away by the black widow, followed her out of the bathroom and returned to the banquet.

Annan was a little hungry after running around all day. He asked the maid to bring some food and said to Black Widow, "By the way, I saw Killian when I came back. He was in a hurry and didn't know where he was going."

"No wonder he didn't come, interesting..." Black Widow's light purple lips curved in a seductive arc.

"What's interesting?"

"I became friends with him for you, and let him..." Black Widow suddenly looked outside the banquet door, "Look, he is here."

Killian, who had changed into luxurious clothes but still couldn't hide his hurried look, walked into the banquet.

He looked around, with a touch of disgust when he saw Elvis Raymond and the annoying people, but when he saw Annan, his eyes lit up and he walked towards this direction.

"What should I say?"

"Just think of him as your friend." Black Widow reminded.

Annan understood and asked Killian with a smile: "Why are you here so late?"

"I went to deal with some personal matters..." Killian tried to hide his emotions when he saw Annan, but Annan still caught him.

Annan was a little uneasy, what exactly did the Black Widow do to him...

The maid came over with a dinner plate. Annan thanked her and was about to reach out to take it. Killian interrupted dissatisfiedly: "Why is it a pine nut cake? Annan likes the black truffle cake. Go and change it and get it again..."

While Killian was talking to the maid, Annan whispered to the black widow in disbelief: "How did you tame him like this?"

"When faced with a child who lacks love, all it takes is a little love and detachment, and some guidance, and he will be unable to help but think about you."

Annan was still studying when he suddenly realized: "You mean Killian has fallen in love with me?"

"He just regards you as his only good friend. But from what I can tell... he seems to have linked you with someone who was very important to him in his childhood."

Annan was surprised: "Who would have thought that this guy is actually an emotional person."

"That's not surprising. Have you forgotten? Killian has always wanted to be recognized by his father."

After Killian finished talking to the maid, he turned around and found Annan looking at him carefully.

"What's wrong?"

"Killian, I still like your unruly look."

Last night, Killian had put on a bad face and said arrogantly: "I don't need you to tell me what to do."

Now, he smiled: "You are a noble and they are servants. There is no need to accommodate them."

Annan was thoughtful, Black Widow had already assisted to this point, it would be a waste of resources if he didn't do something.

Killian was literally a pillow delivered to your door. Just when Annan wanted to support a puppet to replace Lord Raymond, an illegitimate son who was not taken seriously appeared.

Is it okay to just mess around with a young lord like this?

Simply great!

Killian is not a good person, and Annan knows too well what the nobles of this world are like. And the closed Broken Mountains will only make it worse.

Annan asked Black Widow to look around, with a serious look on her face: "Killian, do you want to be a great lord?"

Black Widow looked sideways, and Killian, who looked like he was listening, was petrified on the spot.

"Am I being too explicit?"

Killian came back to his senses and said with difficulty: "Yes..."

"So you want to be a great lord?"

…

After nightfall, the Black Reef Tavern was crowded, but there was no hustle and bustle atmosphere that a pub should have.

The dark crowd stood in the dim hall, with solemn faces, quietly listening to their former companions talk about the past that they did not know:

Gerrard has dreamed of becoming a professional since he was a child. He almost achieved his dream of finding a teacher willing to teach him.

But just when the family had collected enough money to take to his teacher, he was captured by the slave owner, who took away all the money and sold him to the mine.

Gerard was unwilling to accept this. His future should not be like this. When hope was within reach, he was dragged into the abyss. After being discovered while escaping and being beaten, he was shackled and pushed into a dark mine, where he had to work or die.

Until Adele appeared and told Gerard that he had to resist the injustice of fate and smash the heads of those who oppressed him - Gerard did it.

Gerard, who regained his freedom, returned home and found that his parents had passed away.

Gerard's tears and snot were all over his face: "They found out that I was missing and went out to look for me. My father was robbed by a gang and froze to death on the street. My mother couldn't accept it, so she got a serious illness and died at home..."

The resistance members clenched their fists and almost broke their teeth. The members of the Osculus Mercenary Group who were listening also breathed more heavily.

Captain Ren's clenched gloves made a "squeaking" sound.

Little Small didn't need to shout, but a second person stood up.

He said that he was a free citizen and went to work in the mines because he believed the "monthly salary of 3 to 50 silver" offered by the mine owner.

And when he went to the mine owner for wages after working for sixteen hours a day like a slave, he only got three silver coins.

"He said, I said 3 to 50 silver, not 30 to 50. I couldn't bear it anymore and was going to beat him up. Then they said I attacked the nobles, so I became a slave..."
