Ashes turned himself around, and seeing the glamorous and attractive beauty Ruster in front of him, he muttered, "You guys are quite accurate in seeing people... It's almost like this, basically correct, so what? ? Why did you come to see me?"

"I know Mr. Ashes, you have discovered a lot of things, so... I just came to ask you, is there any possibility of cooperating with you..." Rust propped his chin with his arms alluringly, and looked sideways at Ashes Speaking of.

"Cooperate? Heh heh...You guys are worthy too?" Ashes sneered, looking at the charming Rast and said disdainfully.

Rast was stunned for a moment, and then he continued to persuade with a smile on his face, "It's neither fish nor fowl... Yes, it's our group of nondescript guys... Although I don't know what a powerful existence like you is doing in this country... But, you may find out , our power in this country is really not small... If we have help, I believe you..."

"What about me? Do you think you are very brave? Do you think you are very powerful if you have a few more souls in your body? It's really not that I look down on you, I really don't bother to ask you, please go as far ...don't appear in front of me...okay?"

Ruster's beautiful eyes narrowed, and he slowly stood up, "Is that so, Mr. Ash, it seems that you don't need our help... Then I will take my leave first, I wish you a happy stay in this country Happy..." After finishing speaking, Rust left the coffee shop and left slowly...

"Master Ashes, I don't understand...Why did you let such villains go? They tried to kill Mr. Hughes..." The fire girl asked curiously as she looked at Ashes who had regained her salted fish appearance.

Ashes slowly raised his head and looked at the fireproof woman and said, "Because I really feel that this group of people is a little familiar now, very, very familiar, but I just can't remember what it is... That means they may be related to our purpose."

"Then...why don't you seek their affairs? This is not your style!" The fire prevention girl suddenly looked at Ashes with a smile, and teased him.

Ashes felt that he was sunk in an instant... He cried and said, "What, do you think I'm a reckless man? It's too much, blah blah..."

The fireproof girl covered her mouth and smiled softly, "Why, I just think that Mr. Ashes, you have always been an actionist..."

Ashes laughed, and said helplessly, "Isn't there no way? Who do you think is reasonable on the way of spreading fire? Actually, I have always wanted to be a wise person... Moreover, if I attack them now, it may alarm them." The mastermind behind them is better to strike later!"

Chapter 157 Captured on the spot

"Yo, Xiao Douding, Dou Ding, and Wen Li are back too. It's been a long time!" At the gate of the library, Ashes who came to read a book suddenly saw Brother Elric and Wen Li who didn't know when they would come back. , greeted with a smile.

"Who is Little Douding! You bastard!" Edward said angrily, and Alphonse on the side also said helplessly, "Big...Daddy is..."

"Hehe, Mr. Ashes is still so funny..." Wen Li looked at the furious Edward, covered her mouth and laughed, and greeted Ashes.

"When did you come back? Why didn't you tell me in advance?" Ashes said with a smile while holding Edward who was going up to strangle him to death.

"Hahaha, didn't it just be decided yesterday? I didn't have time to inform you, and my brother's arm has just been repaired, so I'm a little anxious..." Alphonse touched his head embarrassingly, and said with a smile.

"How is it? Did you gain anything from seeing your master?" Ashes put down Edward, who had finally settled down, and asked, tilting his head.

"Hey, I have gained something. By the way, I still have some things to tell you later. I am going to go to the Military Law Conference to find Lieutenant Colonel Hughes. Mr. Ashes should go too..." Edward said to Ashes with a smile.

Wen Li on the side also said happily, "For me, I'll go and see Alicia Sauce and Mrs. Hughes. Goodbye!"

"Wait, Wen Li..." Ashes suddenly called out to Wen Li, looked at the curious three with serious faces and said slowly, "Hughes... is dead!"

"What? What's going on! How is it possible? We were fine when we left!" Edward hurried forward and asked anxiously.

"Because of urgency! Because of recklessness! Because of being nosy! So Hughes died. Do you understand what I mean?" Ashes bent down, looked seriously at Edward's anxious face and said.

Edward took a step back and said with a painful face, "You mean...Lieutenant Hughes, I killed him?"

Ashes shook his head lightly and said, "It's not a lieutenant, because he died in the line of duty, he was promoted two ranks in a row, and now he is Brigadier General Hughes... Also, to be precise, he was not killed by you, but by the truth. understand."

Edward and Alphonse took Wen Li, and the three of them left in a low mood... Seeing the backs of the three of them leaving, the fire girl said a little bit unbearably, "Master Ashes, you lied to them like this... Is it really okay?"

"How could I have lied to them? If I hadn't intervened, Hughes would have been dead. The fact that he was attacked and buried was the truth. The only thing I didn't tell them was that Hughes came back from the dead. Besides, they were indeed It's a bit reckless, the matter of the Fifth Research Institute is a complete shock, and they have to be taught a lesson." Ashes looked at the three people who left, and said slowly.

……

The three people who left wandered slowly like ghosts, but as if they had agreed, they walked towards Hughes' house together.

Especially Edward, even if Ashes said that he didn't kill Hughes, but Edward still couldn't let it go, it was because of his own recklessness, it was because of his own carelessness that Hughes was targeted...

Knocking on the door of Hughes' house, seeing Mrs. Hughes who came to open the door, and Alicia behind her, Edward couldn't help but shed tears, "Mrs. Gracia, I...I'm sorry for you..."

……

I don't know what the three of them said to Hughes' wife at Hughes' house. When the three of them left, their expressions improved a lot, but they were still very depressed...

……

"What are you talking about, which colonel is investigating Hughes' matter? Then he might get hold of it..." In an unknown corner, several people with tattoos of ouroboros marks stood together, among them was Rust Looking at Enwei who had restored his original appearance in front of him, he frowned and said.

"Yeah, you're right, so what should we do?" Enwei looked at the distressed Rust and said with a gloating smile.

"It's really annoying. He was transferred back to the center to better monitor him. Can't he be more peaceful? And the one named Ashes... After all, they are all very good candidates for the pillar." Lars Te sighed helplessly and said slowly.

"Hey, is that ashes too? Why don't I know?" Enwei said curiously

"It was Ras who told my father that he found a strong alchemist, and my father listed him as a candidate... But, can this kind of guy really be controlled by us? He is also investigating something recently. ...It's really distressing." Rust spread his hands and complained helplessly.

"You mean... Which colonel and this Ashes, these two people are restless, right!" Enwei suddenly seemed to think of something, and laughed strangely.

"Yeah, it's all very distressing... What, what can you do?" Lust looked at the strangely smiling Enwei and laughed, asking curiously.

"It's good to let them both settle down a bit... right? I have a good idea..." Enwei looked at Rast strangely, with a mischievous smile on the corner of his mouth, and said slowly.

"Two noisy dogs... bump into each other and see that there is only one bone in the middle, and they will always fight, don't you think so!"

……

"The Alchemist of Ashes!" Ashes, who was reading a book in the library, suddenly felt that someone appeared behind him and called him by such an official name, and turned his head curiously.

I saw a tall soldier appearing behind him with a few soldiers, looked at himself with a serious face and said, "I am Henry Douglas from the Gendarmerie Command."

Ashes tilted his head and looked at this person in puzzlement, and asked curiously, "So, what do you want from me, if you have nothing to do, please don't disturb my reading, okay?"

Looking at the impatient ashes, the soldier named Henry had a flash of displeasure in his eyes, but he still said seriously, "Please come with us, you are now an important reference person for the murder of Brigadier General Matthew Hughes! If you have any excuses, go to the headquarters and talk about it."

"Oh, this is interesting. Are you planning to attack me? Well, I'll just go with you!" After speaking, Ashes stood up, looked at the fireproof woman and said, "You just go first!" Let's go to Madam's house for a while!"
