I am Lapland’s rat!

"Then grandpa, why did he send me to Syracuse as a hostage?!"

"……what?"

In front of him, Edmund showed an expression of surprise and confusion.

It seemed that he heard a term that was not what he expected.

After a while, the film young man hesitated and said:

"Miss, I don't know what happened. Who did you hear it from?"

"Sofia told me." Texas looked into Edmund's eyes.

This is what she cares about most.

Of course she also asked Sophia where she heard about it.

And Sophia told her that her mother, Georgia, said it herself when she was alone with her at night.

At that time, Georgia just said it carelessly, but Sophia realized that something was wrong and wanted to get to the bottom of it, but was warned by Georgia not to tell anyone about it.

"..."

Edmund turned his head and glanced, and found that Duke Duck, who was just watching the show, was staring at him without knowing it.

If you say you don't understand it at all, how can you win your trust...?

After thinking about it, Edmund had no choice but to tell with some difficulty the information that Salvatore was not allowed to tell Texas:

"Sir... he has indeed been in contact with Syracuse in the past two years. The specific situation, those of us below are not very clear."

"But this matter is related to you, Miss Cellinina, and the Saluzzo family."

At this time, Lapland, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interrupted: "Is it related to our family?"

"Yes...Miss Lapland. I heard that I hope Saluzzo can help Texas in some way."

Edmund told him all he knew about it.

Lapland laughed:

"Like now?"

Chapter 131 The Real Purpose

"...Miss Lapland, I'm not sure."

Edmund answered sincerely.

He doesn't seem to know what Salvatore's true purpose is.

Immediately afterwards, Edmund explained to the two wolves in more detail that Salvatore had made all the previous actions, sending Cellinina to Syracuse, and after her return, he hid the news of Cellinina's return from the family. In fact, they all have only one purpose——

That is to allow Cellinina to grow up in a stable environment without having to be exposed to trivial matters within the family.

Of course, Salvatore also knew about Mosedi's attack on Cellinina. His second son used the power he secretly cultivated to establish Fenrir Security and used it to squeeze Silver Wolf Security. Salvatore watched it. inside.

But he did not take action or punish Mosetti for this.

"——This is because the master believes that the two young ladies will be able to defeat the second young master's agent with the help of the resources at hand."

In the private room, in front of the sofa, the film-making young man Edmund said seriously.

"And this is also true. As the master's spy, I have been watching the two of you since they boarded Tremont."

"Whether it was the handling of Swanov, the establishment of Silver Wolf Security, or the subsequent recruitment of members and establishing contact with Rhine Life, I often marveled at the power of the two ladies."

He looked at Lapland and praised:

"Actually, even I think that even if the master orders me to take action, I have no room for action."

“For every step of the development of Silver Wolf Security, until we reach the first step of financing today, I have no confidence that I can do better at any step.”

This Salvatore's subordinate gave the current Silver Wolf security a high degree of recognition.

……

Wu Xian on the table scratched his waist with his hind paws.

Things seem clear now.

Although Salvatore may indeed have some unknown expectations for Texas, the old man has been helping Texas in action.

After all, whether they stay in Tremont first or establish Silver Wolf Security, it is actually their own decision.

That natural disaster only blocked the road from Casimir to northern Colombia. In fact, Texas could have returned to the Cast Iron City now!

Rather, it seems that Salvatore is a good grandfather who respects his granddaughter's choice very much.

Since Texas wanted to hide in Tremont to observe the family situation, Salvatore helped her hide the news that she had returned to Colombia.

"Good grandpa, I'm in tears."

While thinking this, Wu Xian turned to look at Texas.

only……

Although Edmund's words were so sincere, Texas still had no positive expression on her face, and there was a hint of less obvious melancholy and suspicion in her eyes.

"...Miss Chelinina, do you have any more questions?"

Seemingly sensing that something was not right in the atmosphere, Edmund looked at Texas and asked doubtfully.

Texas sighed.

"Edmund. ...Is your name Edmund?"

"Yes, miss."

The gray wolf girl looked into Edmund's eyes and directly called him by his name like a young lady:

"Edmund, you are still hiding something from me. I don't believe grandpa's purpose is that simple."

"—!"

Yes, even though Edmund had told so much evidence that Salvatore had been helping Texas, she still didn't fully believe it.

Wu Xian looked at Texas in surprise.

"Zhushu, I think this little brother has said it very well!"

He really felt that Texas was so disappointed because he misunderstood his grandfather's intentions!

"Do not……"

Edmund also looked a little surprised, his tone full of helplessness:

"Then Miss Chelinina, what else do you want to know?"

"The purpose of doing all this is so that you, young miss, can grow up smoothly without being disturbed by these things in the family!"

"—"

Although Edmund acted a little innocent and confused, at this time, another strange and sharp voice sounded next to him:

"I don't believe it either."

It's Duck Lord again.

Edmund looked at Duck Lord sitting next to him in astonishment. He saw that Duck Lord still looked like he was taking care of himself, but he spoke words that were different from usual and had very clear logic:

"That young man Salvatore is not such a friendly guy. Well, he is full of the characteristics of a successful businessman. He cares about everything and will never make a loss-making business."

It seems that Salvatore also left a deep impression on Lord Duck back then. When Lord Duck talked about what Salvatore looked like when he was young, everyone was speechless.

"Even if you are his juniors, based on my understanding of that guy, that person is definitely not the kind of person who can devote all his resources to his juniors wholeheartedly!" Yajue waved his wings and seemed to be saying this. It started to feel a little funny, so I just laughed sharply and said:

"Gahaha, you may think that Salvatore, who was born in Syracuse, is a person who values ​​family relationships, so he is willing to pay so much for his juniors... Hahahaha!"

Lord Duck pointed at Lapland, who was sitting next to Texas.

"Little girl of Saluzzo, say it yourself, the family of Syracuse, even with Mrs. Sicily and your law of silence, is there harmony within your family?"

Lapland blinked: "..."

Texas looked calm.

Wu Xian flicked his tail thoughtfully.

Edmund's pupils suddenly narrowed.

"That's it."

The Duck Lord looked at the stunned people, touched his duck chin with his wings, and then concluded:

"A good achiever must have a profound spirit of skepticism. At this point, some people do well, and some people are still lacking."

"..."

……

Edmund finally shed a drop of sweat on his temples.

He really didn't expect that things would develop to this point. Even though he had already thought of two sets of countermeasures in his mind, this kind of deception failed to escape Duck Lord's eyes in the end!

In the final analysis, Edmund never expected that Lord Duck would stand so firmly on Miss Cellinina's side!

What exactly is going on?

"..."

Edmund's mind was racing.

By now, Miss Cellinina has become suspicious of her master's intentions.

If she continues to be suspicious like this, I am afraid that she, who was firmly on the side of the master, will also turn to the side of the eldest young master or the second young master!

He absolutely couldn't let this happen.

Rather than that, it's better...

The loyal film youth swallowed.

When he raised his head, he found that Texas had stood up and stared at him.

"Edmund, if you are a member of the Texas family, you should obey my orders now."

"Tell me, my grandfather, what exactly do you want from me?"

Edmund: "..."

He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and alternated between the two options rapidly in his mind.

After a brief silence, he finally took a deep breath.

Then, he slowly said:

"Miss, I know that you are a person who is indifferent to power. You are very gentle to everyone in the family and can complete all exams excellently, but you have only one purpose for doing all this - that is, to live a peaceful life. Life."

Wu Xian, who was squatting on the table, twitched his beard and looked at Edmund.

"Nowadays, the power struggle in the family is becoming more and more intense. As long as the master dies, the Texas family will be torn apart in an instant. And it is very likely that you will choose to leave the family and be alone at that time."

Lapland raised the corners of his mouth slightly and looked at Edmund.

"In order to avoid that ending, the master increases your power and threat, allowing you to conflict with other young masters and ladies. Conflict will lead to anger, so that you will not be able to trust anyone to ultimately take power in the future..."

There was an interested look behind the brim of Lord Duck's hat, and he looked at Edmund.

"And Miss, you know, Salvatore, the leering wolf, came out of Syracuse. Texas came out of Syracuse."

"My master will send you to Syracuse..."

At this point, Texas, who had been looking at Edmund, suddenly widened his eyes.

She couldn't bear the possibility that appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help but drink Edmund:

"No, it's impossible!"

"——Miss, that's it."

Edmund raised his head and looked at Cellinina Texas standing in front of him.

他 说:

"The master has prepared his suicide note."
