The Old Charlie Tavern was filled with the aroma of wine and grilled smoked fish.
The four guards brought by Sam and Adam enjoyed the food and wine under the warm hospitality of Paul, Monkron and others, and did not notice the abnormal expression of their captain at this time.
At the wooden table, Hood's mouth was getting bigger and bigger, and there was a crazy fire burning in his eyes, as if he wanted to devour everything around him. This compelling breath even made Sam and Adam feel frightened.
"Brother Hood, what do you want to do?" Sam asked in a low voice, staring at Hood closely. He felt uneasy in his heart and had a little fear of Hood who suddenly became unfamiliar in front of him.
Adam was also flustered by Hood's cautious eyes. He subconsciously avoided his gaze, picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine, trying to calm himself down. However, his hands trembled slightly, showing his inner tension.
"Hahaha..."
Hood suddenly laughed and sat down. He looked at Sam and Adam and said something that made them look horrified instantly.
"Do you want to be the uncrowned king of Rhine Town!"
When this sentence came out, Sam and Adam were shocked. Before they could react, Hood's next two words made them sweat coldly.
"I killed Knight Barnett..."
"I also killed the three town guards..."
"Plop", Sam suddenly slid off the stool, his face was pale, and his eyes were full of fear.
Knight Barnett was one of the six knights personally appointed by Lord Vito. He was powerful, how could he be killed?
Adam was also stunned for a moment, staring at Hood, as if he had lost consciousness, his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't believe what he had just heard.
Hodder picked up the wine glass, took a sip of wine, and then looked at the two people in front of him quietly, with a slight smile on his lips, revealing a meaningful smile, and a deep look in his eyes, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking at the moment.
Sam and Adam looked at each other, both of them were full of shock and fear, Adam climbed up from the ground with weak legs, they stared at Hodder in disbelief, as if they couldn't believe what they heard, Sam stammered: "Hodder... Captain Hodder... Do you know what you are talking about!"
Hodder smiled and shook his head, then raised the wine glass in his hand and gently shook the wine in it. His voice was low and with a hint of sarcasm: "Of course I know, Knight Barnett and the others have been away for so long and haven't come back yet, haven't you ever been curious in your heart?"
Sam and Adam's faces became paler, and Sam's lips trembled and he couldn't speak for a while.
Adam also reacted at this time. He gritted his teeth and said to Hod in a low voice: "I didn't hear a word you said just now, and I didn't come today." After that, he stood up and prepared to leave this place.
However, when he turned around, he found that Nott, Jules and others were standing at the door. They blocked the exit and looked at Adam coldly.
Adam was stunned. He turned around and shouted at Hod angrily: "Hod! Let your people get out of my way!"
This roar was like a thunder, instantly waking up the four drunk guards. They looked back blankly, and when they realized that something was wrong, their faces changed drastically, and they hurriedly drew out the daggers at their waists.
"Hod!" Adam gritted his teeth, with sparks of anger flashing in his eyes, and stared fiercely at the man in front of him.
"Don't worry, it's not too late to leave after you finish listening to me..."
However, Hood seemed indifferent, still looking at Adam with a smile, his eyes revealing a hint of cunning.
Then, he stretched out his finger and gently pointed to the position of the bar. Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw three robbers holding light crossbows, aiming at them with crossbows loaded with arrows.
"Brother Hood, quickly ask your men to put down the crossbows, and we will talk about it."
Sam's lips suddenly became flexible at this time, and he stopped stuttering. I don't know if he reacted quickly from the shock, or because he was too afraid that the robbers would really pull the trigger.
"Paul, Captain Adam is our good friend, why don't you put down the light crossbow." Hood pressed his hand to Paul and the three robbers behind the bar, signaling the three to put down their weapons.
Then, he stood up and walked to Adam's side, saying softly: "Captain Adam, you should sit down and listen to me before leaving."
"Adam..."
Sam also looked at Adam nervously at this time, hoping that he could sit down.
"Humph!"
Adam snorted coldly. Although he was a little unhappy, he finally decided to give the other party a face. He waved his hand to the trusted guards he brought with him, and then sat down again.
Seeing this, Sam waved his hands to his men again and again. After the four guards put away their weapons in fear, Nott and others also put their weapons back.
"Hod! Don't think of involving me in this matter!" Before Hod spoke, Adam had already reminded him immediately.
"Captain Adam, even if I don't involve you, do you think that if Lord Conrad knows about this, he will believe you?" Hod asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Adam's face instantly became gloomy, and his eyes revealed a trace of despair and anger. He clenched his fists tightly, and his body trembled slightly.
"You..." Adam gritted his teeth and said, but his voice seemed a little weak.
Seeing Adam's reaction, Hood raised his mouth slightly and continued, "Captain Adam, we all know that if Lord Conrad learns about this, he will never let anyone involved in this matter go easily.
And you can't escape the blame. After all, you introduced Danny to me, so now is not the time to discuss whether to get involved, but to face this problem together."
Adam's expression kept changing, and his heart was full of contradictions and struggles.
On the one hand, he knew that he could not escape responsibility, and on the other hand, he was angry and dissatisfied with Hood's behavior. In the end, he still looked at Hood hatefully and asked angrily: "What do you want to do!"
"What do you want to do?"
Hood smiled lightly, picked up the wine glass, and slowly tasted the wine in it. Then, he slammed the glass heavily on the table, making a dull sound: "I want Rhine Town, I want to be the new lord of Rhine Town!"
"You are really crazy!"
Adam widened his eyes and looked at Hood in disbelief. He never thought that Hood would have such a bold ambition.
Sam also opened his mouth wide at this moment, looking at Hood in shock. He also did not expect Hood to say such a thing.
