When Charles walked into the attic with a bowl of oatmeal and pumpkin porridge, he was greeted by a gaze that was unsurprisingly like a flame—Agnes glared at him like an enemy. This attic, which was originally used to store discarded furniture, was not usually used, but now it was a place where his aunt was imprisoned.

Charles didn't flinch from this gaze, and walked up to her.

"Agnes, are you hungry? I've brought you lunch. He smiled and said to the other party.

Agnes, on the other hand, sat in the chair in front of him.

Although she was sitting, the circle of ropes that surrounded her body did not provide much comfort, and her aunt looked a little miserable under the restraint of this rope.

Charles's smile didn't get a response from Agnes, she just looked at Charles with that look full of anger and pain, and didn't say a word.

Following Charles's previous orders, she was tightly tied to a chair, ropes looped around her in front of her and knotted at the back, depriving her of nearly all freedom of movement.

Anyway, that's too much...... Charles smiled bitterly inwardly.

Her skirt looked crumpled and white underwear was exposed from her chest because of the fierce struggle, and God knows how embarrassed the old servant had endured to carry her up and tie her up.

Because no one has been using it, the attic is often cleaned, but there is still a stale smell in the air. And then there is the dim attic, the furniture and silk cloth scattered everywhere, and the woman with her hair scattered and tied to a chair. This kind of scenery constitutes a dark picture with postmodern horror overtones. What's more, this woman is still one of his relatives, who has loved him and helped him since he was a child.

This situation made Charles's heart suddenly feel a sigh of "Oh, it turns out that I am a villain of this kind of Cheng dù".

But even so. Charles still didn't have a trace of regret in his heart.

He's not a fan of violence, but he doesn't hesitate to use it when it comes to it.

With such a calm state of mind. He scooped a spoonful of porridge and gently handed it to Agnes.

However, Agnes only glared at him, and had no intention of opening her mouth.

Charles couldn't help but sigh.

"Aunt Agnes. Why are you bothered? I won't hurt to stare at me like this, right? If it makes you feel better. Just scold me, and eat something when you're done......"

"Scolding you? What's the point of calling a bastard like you? Do you feel any emotion from this? Agnes's tone was cold, apparently heartbroken by Charles's expression, "This is the consequence of believing a bastard and being soft-hearted towards him. I should have thought a long time ago, since you were raised by a bastard, how could you not become a bastard too? I deserve to be out of luck today, and I have nothing to say to you - you just did what a bastard should do! ”

Yes. It's hard to say, but since you're willing to speak. There's still some hope, Charles thought.

"That's the question you are talking about...... Well, to be honest, I don't have much to deny it," Charles nodded slightly, "but please consider it from my point of view - you told me to watch you kill your own father without saying a word?" How many people do you think would say yes without doing the same thing? ”

His questioning did not make Agnes lose words, but she sneered.

"That's a nice thing to say, people like you care about him so much?"

"I don't particularly care about it, but I don't just want to watch you kill him." Charles smiled bitterly, "Anyway, now that the matter has happened, I think it's better for us to negotiate a better solution...... Actually, I don't want to do this to you. ”

This sentence is his sincere words, although he made a bold statement of 'I must defeat you', but the victory won in this way really made him unhappy.

"You can do whatever you like, I can't change my mind anyway." Agnes had no intention of accommodating, "If you think you'll be able to get me to give up if you catch me, you're naïve. ”

"I'm not naïve enough to be that naïve." Charles shrugged, "I'm not going to do nothing, though. ”

"So what are you going to do? Kill me? Agnes still sneered.

"I don't see the need to do that in the current circumstances." Charles shook his head, then looked at the other sincerely, "Agnes, I say again, I really don't want to fall out with you, I only did this because I was threatened......"

"Threats? Who forced me to get to this point? Do you think I'm trying to do that? If I wanted to do this, I would have done it before, so how can you be proud today? Agnes frowned, her eyes full of pain, "Didn't I do this because you were blocking my movements?" If you hadn't made it this far...... How can I ......? ”

"I'm grateful to you for that," Charles nodded gratefully to his aunt, "So, can you tell me what the physical evidence you collected was in the first place?" Where do you put it now? ”

Agnes looked at him and smiled, as if she were watching a child make a fool.

"Ah, yes, now is not a good time to negotiate." Charles smiled, "So, can you take a look at the light and hear my solution?" ”

Agnes didn't answer, as if she didn't want to say anything more to him.

"My solution is simple, you stay here for a while, let my father heal his injuries, and then he leaves here, so that I have done my duty." Charles's tone was very calm, obviously having made up his mind, "Then, I won't care about him anymore, if you go to him, you will go to him, if you find him, it will only mean that he is incompetent." I don't care what happens to the incompetent......"

Agnes looked up suddenly, looking at him with a puzzled look, obviously a little stunned by his proposal.

"Look. It's not like I'm not accommodating, am I? Charles smiled reluctantly, and then became stern again, "However, the evidence is stern and threatens me, so I must destroy all these things." ”

"You want me to sue you?"

"Isn't that right? You are not claiming. Don't you want to be against me, you just want to uphold justice and kill that person? So why do you want to keep those things? I can't think of any reason...... Unless yours are lying to me. You have to take hold of me so that you can threaten me. ”

"How can you look at me like that?" Agnes frowned.

"Okay, then promise me a tip, right? Could you have any better solution in the current situation? Charles asked rhetorically.

"But how can I trust you?" Agnes sneered. "If you cheat on me again. Got rid of what was bad for you and then sheltered that bastard again? You've already done it once, won't you do it a second time? I know enough about your current character, you're the same as the rest of Treville, you're a liar! ”

Well, that's not wrong...... Although Charles is not going to lie this time.

"Don't think that if you catch me, you can do whatever you want, sue you, if I don't go back today, someone will spread it out immediately. When the time comes, think about the consequences for yourself, right? Agnes replied unhurriedly.

"So, you mean. Tell me to obey you, hand over my father to you, and then honestly send you back, pretending that nothing is alive? ”

"Do you have any other choice?"

Agnes stared at him mockingly, and Charles fell silent.

In fact, he doesn't particularly care about his father's life or death now. Even if he really told her and then let his father die, to be honest, he didn't think anything of it.

However, now the problem has shifted.

The real question is whether he can tolerate a bomb that affects his future, which is in the hands of someone else, and can be pulled at any time?

He was threatened.

He hated the feeling of being threatened.

Yes, there are some things that cannot be solved with words.

"I've been struggling with 'how do I trust you' and 'are you worth trusting', there will be no progress in human beings......" Charles's face slowly sank, as if he was lamenting the philosophers of history, "Fortunately, in order to resolve this unbridgeable divide, our ancestors knew the ...... of weapons"

Agnes' smile disappeared in an instant.

"Why, do you still want to threaten me with your sword?" She asked coldly, "I've already said it, I'm not afraid of this, if you want to do it, do it." ”

"No, I'm not going to kill you, but I'm going to kill your brother, well, my uncle's entire family." Charles suddenly laughed softly. "And I'm going to do it right away, in a few hours, with people and not give them any chance to be prepared."

Agnes' eyes widened and she looked at Charles in disbelief.

That's right, in Paris, if you say that you want to go to destroy all the nobles in broad daylight, I'm afraid no one will believe it.

"That's right, I'll kill them all, and then, of course, I'm not going to wait to get on the gallows. I would go to the Americas with a large sum of money. There, United States, do you understand? It's a good place, with a group of good citizens, and a large piece of terra nullius, as long as you have money, no one will ask you where you come from, I will buy tens of thousands of acres of land and buy hundreds of black slaves, and then be a soil emperor there comfortably! Can you believe it or not? Sue you, I can do it, I've always liked to think about retreats, so I can escape from here at any time with a few different identities! ”

"You dare!" As if by Charles, Agnes replied loudly. "At that time, I will come to the Americas and kill you and your family!"

"Good! Come on! I'm afraid I'm going to be worried that there will be no entertainment! Charles laughed, "Better bring more people, I'll be waiting to entertain you!" ”

Under his aunt's angry gaze, Charles laughed without hesitation, as if he had no fear.

"Do you think I can't do it? There are so many powerful people in my party, and although they can't shield me from killing your family, how much effort will they put into hunting me down? You're not sure, are you? As long as I escape France, and I have so much money, what can't I do? Don't think I dare, if you threaten me, I'll do it! So, either stay at my house for half a month honestly, let me do what I have to do, and don't trouble me, and then you can be free to do whatever you want. Do you understand?! ”

"You madman! Beast! Dog mongrel! Agnes finally couldn't take it anymore and scolded Charles, "You can say such a thing? Do you still have a shred of humanity? They are all your relatives! ”

When she became so out of shape, Charles knew that his threat should have worked.

"All men are equal before God, and there is no distinction between high and low, miss." Charles sneered and quoted a sentence, albeit misinterpreting the meaning of the sentence. "I wouldn't do it for the sake of boring perverts, but I would do it for the sake of need, and if you want to stop me, it's simple, just don't let me have this need. Now, I ask again, will I agree to my mention yì? ”

Agnes was violently bullied in the chest, obviously furious, but Charles still looked at her calmly.

This silent confrontation between the two men lasted for a long time, and it was necessary to decide the winner.

Then, he pulled his pocket watch out of his bosom.

"You have about ten minutes to think about it, and even if you promise me in ten minutes, it will be useless, I will gather people immediately, and you can try to pray for your uncle, hoping that he will survive."

This sentence, like the final blow, finally made Agnes soften. In the confrontation between these two people, the love for her family finally made her spirit temporarily overwhelmed.

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, then lowered her gaze slightly.

"Well, I can tell you, but ......," she glared at Charles with a creepy expression, "you must walk the talk, and no longer shelter him." ”

"At that time, you can just chase it, I won't care anymore." With a sense of relief after victory, Charles nodded, "If he escapes for so long, he will be chased again, and if he dies, he can only be regarded as incapable." ”

"Okay, I'll sue you......"

"No, wait." Charles picked up the bowl again, then scooped up a spoonful of porridge and handed it over.

"Ah......h

Agnes blushed with anger and embarrassment, but finally opened her mouth.

Ah, I was wrong, actually, this victory is quite interesting. Charles thought to himself. (To be continued!)
