Sara finally changed her clothes. She first poured two glasses of wine from the wine bottle on the table, one for herself and one to Ethan.

Although Ethan didn't drink, he recognized this as the precious Longjin Lan Baidi.

A bottle costs more than twenty gold, and if you don’t have connections, you can’t buy it with money.

Because the annual production of this wine is less than 20,000 bottles. Although the amount on the market far exceeds this, everyone knows the reason.

Of course, Ethan had no doubt that the bottle in front of him was genuine.

"If I'm not mistaken, you are doing well here. So, can you tell me now, what happened?"

"Actually, I don't know what happened!"

"You don't know?" Ethan laughed: "Are you kidding me?"

Sara smiled bitterly and said: “I really don’t know.

That day, the Holy Light Cult suddenly broke into the Chamber of Commerce, saying that I was an enemy spy, and then arrested me.

I thought I was dead, but unexpectedly, they just put me under house arrest here.

These days, I've been staying here.

Food, clothing, and supplies are all good.

They didn't even restrict my activities, they just didn't allow me to leave the Holy Light Church.

If I have to leave, I must explain the reason, and have 20 guards present, and then I must come back immediately after finishing my work. "

Ethan became more and more confused as he listened.

Because it doesn't sound like arrest, but it sounds like protection.

Capudo is protecting Sara for no reason?

It sounds strange no matter how you hear it!

However, he knew the reason would soon be clear, because Capudo was coming.

really.

As soon as Ethan had this idea, there was a knock on Capudo's door over there.

Sarah got up and opened the door.

Capudo greeted Ethan warmly as soon as he saw him: "Ah... dear Sir Ethan, it's been such a long time no see!"

Although Ethan didn't know what medicine the other party was selling, he could clearly feel that the other party was not hostile.

So he also stood up: "It's been a long time indeed, Mr. Capudo.

However, I can ask, what does Mr. Capudo want from me? "

Ethan felt that the other party had something to do with him, so he caught Sara and treated her politely.

Maybe this has something to do with the Iris Club.

Of course, there are many things that don't make sense here, such as why Sarah's identity was leaked.

Or what would Iris ask Caputo to do?

Although there are some things that don't make sense, everything in reality points to this point.

The other party has something to do with you.

However, Capudo waved his hands repeatedly: "Sir Ethan, please don't get me wrong, I have nothing to do with you, and I don't want to cause trouble.

I just want to protect this lovely Miss Sara. "

"Protect?" Ethan frowned and looked at Caputo, asking what he meant with his eyes.

Capudo pursed his lips and smiled, and then said slowly: "Recently, I received a tip that this Miss Sarah was lurking in a chamber of commerce in Newdaka with the intention of doing harm to me.

And the secret report states that this Miss Sarah is from the Lawson family, and it is you, Mr. Ethan, who wants to harm me. "

Speaking of this, Caputo paused for a moment, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the change in Ethan's expression.

But after seeing that there was no emotion on Ethan’s face, he smiled slightly and continued: “I was shocked when I learned the news.

Of course, the shock is not because I learned that Mr. Ethan, you want to kill me.

Although Mr. Ethan and I have known each other for a short time, we can be considered to have hit it off.

How could you possibly kill me?

Mr. Ethan, are you right? "

"That's right!" Ethan smiled: "What Mr. Capudo said is right, please continue."

When Kapuduo saw Ethan using a double affirmation, his heart skipped a beat.

Although Ethan's expression is well disguised, in speaking skills, when people lie, they will unconsciously use double affirmations or negative sentences.

In other words, this Ethan really wants to kill himself.

Fortunately, I reacted in time, otherwise something would have happened.

At this time, Capudo was sure that Ethan really wanted to kill him, but his expression did not change at all, and then said:

“My first reaction at the time was that someone wanted to provoke a conflict between you and me.

In order to protect the strong friendship between us, I protected this beautiful lady as soon as possible. "

When talking about the word "sturdy", Capudo specially emphasized it.

Then he turned to look at Sara and gave a gentlemanly salute.

"I'm sorry, Miss Sarah, I can't explain it to you before Mr. Ethan arrives, because I know you won't believe anything I say.

So, these days, you have been wronged. "

Sarah saluted a Great Sword Master, feeling somewhat flattered. She waved her hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, you don't have to apologize, Great Sword Master. I have been treated with the highest level of courtesy here."

Ethan was confused at this time.

Is this really the Capudo I met before?

When did Capudo become like this?

Split personality?

No, he is... afraid of me!

That’s right!

He is afraid!

Although there was no fear in Capudo's eyes, Ethan could feel Capudo's hand hidden behind his back trembling slightly when he was doing gentlemanly courtesy.

And this kind of trembling was just like when I saw the King of Knights, unconscious and uncontrollable!

Capudo's gentlemanly courtesy was actually to hide the fear in his heart.

Ethan understood everything, but couldn't believe it was true.

Why did Caputo perform this drama in front of him?

Even deliberately showing fear?

And the performance was so realistic?

Ethan really couldn't figure it out, and in the end he had no choice but to stop thinking about it for the time being and ask Sophia when he got back.

"Mr. Capudo, you are right, our strong friendship cannot be broken!" Ethan also deliberately emphasized the word "strong", and then continued:

"Those villains who want to destroy our friendship will be our common enemies, don't you think?"

Capudo smiled slightly: "Of course!"

"So, I think you don't mind telling me who gave you the tip-off!" Seeing that the other party agreed, Ethan didn't hesitate to ask about the informer directly.

As a result, Capudo spread his hands: "In fact, I also want to know who that person is?"

Ethan was unhappy when he heard it: "Just now we talked about our strong friendship, but this friendship boat is going to capsize before leaving the port?"

"Alas..." Capudo sighed helplessly: "If I knew who that person was, I would kill him directly instead of going to great lengths to invite Miss Sarah here and protect her.

Are you right?"

Ethan felt that what the other party said made sense.

He protected Sarah because he was afraid that the person behind the scenes would see that he did not take action, and then the person behind the scenes would take action himself and then put the blame on him.

If Sarah really died, he could not explain it.

And he and Sofia would definitely put the blame on him.

From this point of view, Capudo's considerations were still very comprehensive.

Since it was confirmed that Capudo did not know who the person behind the scenes was, Ethan felt that there was no need to stay here.

So he said, "Then can I take Sarah away now?"

"Of course!" Capudo smiled and said, "You are free. You can leave at any time if you want."

Ethan smiled back, then took Sarah's hand and walked out.

After walking a few steps, Capudo's voice came from behind: "Sir Ethan, if you find out who the person behind the scenes is, please let me know.

What I hate most in my life is this kind of villain who schemes behind the scenes. Please let me participate in it!"

Capudo's words obviously scolded Ethan and the person behind the scenes together.

Ethan could hear it, but he couldn't reply, so he could only say without looking back: "Of course!"
