Chapter 82: Annan's Art of Assassination

"Study?"

When Justin heard this order, he was slightly stunned.

Then he simply agreed: "Okay, my lord." Please come with me......"

Justin remembered that there should indeed be some things in the Viscount's study that could not be shown to outsiders.

Although he himself was not forbidden to enter the study, Justin never sneaked in.

This is a manifestation of his wisdom.

- The more you know, the faster you die.

He's a part-time worker anyway, and his main purpose is to stay here and eat. Justin knew in his heart that those who loved to probe into the secrets of his employer's family would die inexplicably at any point.

So Justin never asked much else.

In this way, his reputation will gradually get better. After leaving from Viscount Barb, it was also convenient for him to go to the next house with a letter of recommendation......

Oh, yes.

This is not Don Juan Geraine, who is from the family of the Grand Duke of Winter.

Maybe they were in the same group. Either that's just agreed.

And, take a step back.

Even if Grand Duke Winter really had some unfavorable thoughts about Lord Viscount...... Could it be that Justin can still rush up to protect the Viscount?

And then the backhand was sold by the old immortal?

Justin wasn't stupid.

Alvin Barber wasn't his master, he was just his boss. He pays for his food, kills for him himself, or dissuades the transcendents who invade the territory, and that's it.

Those enemies who are not within Justin's responsibility are not under his control.

Although Annan Rindong himself is a transcendent being.

But his status is much higher than that of ordinary Bronze-level transcendents. Normally, what a bronze transcendent can do, it is enough for him to brush his face; But what he can do by brushing his face, transcendents of the same level may not be able to do it.

That's fate.

Justin sighed silently.

They soon came to Alvin's study.

"Inside is the Viscount's study."

He said respectfully to Annan, who was at least two heads shorter than him: "Your Excellency Annan, is there anything else?" ”

"Can you come in with me, Brother Justin?"

Like a real fourteen-year-old child, Annan raised his head and made a soft and immature voice to the strong man who was close to one meter nine: "I'm worried that there may be some documents that are too high...... I can't reach it. ”

He replaced the slightly rawling "brother" with a more easy-going and approachable title.

And Justin can't be wary of this child with clean eyes.

I didn't pay much attention to it before. But now look at it...... He's a good boy.

Although with his status, it is not right to pity a big man like Annan, and it is even more wrong to feel sorry for the enemy.

But seeing Annan running around alone at a young age, he still felt in his heart that his life must not be easy.

Maybe it's because I think of my daughter.

If she were alive and not killed by the curse that leaked from her body...... I guess I'm about the same age as Annan.

I don't know which one will be cuter, she or this child......

…… I guess it's my daughter, right?

Probably.

"Brother Justin?"

Annan asked again, his voice was soft, his eyes were clean, and his tone was a little troubled: "Is it inconvenient?" ”

"It's all right," Justin said with a somewhat awkward smile under his fleshy bald head, "I'll just go in with you."

"What I was just thinking was, are you still staying for dinner today? I've just told the kitchen to make more good food......"

"Probably so."

Annan thought seriously for a moment, showed a bright smile, and replied happily: "I think I should stay for dinner." ”

He meant it.

Anyway, you can't use black fire to kill the viscount, and this manor shouldn't be destroyed.

Now that the kitchen is ready...... After killing Alvin, why don't you stay here for dinner at night?

It's a shame to be wasted.

Annan followed Justin into the study. This is to beware of possible traps.

Justin was also well aware of Annan's purpose. He was a veteran hunter after all, and he couldn't have been more aware of this simple caution......

"Thank you, Brother Justin."

When Annan entered the house, he bowed lightly to Justin again.

Seeing him so respectful and friendly to him, Justin couldn't help but sigh.

For some reason, the dissatisfaction that had just risen in his heart dissipated......

"I want to see the latest letters."

Annan said softly.

Justin nodded: "Well, it should be here......"

- This is naturally also Annan's way of coping.

He's not just bluffing.

The so-called watching people put down dishes, Justin is a typical shun donkey, the kind that eats soft and not hard.

And when Annan got along with him, his needs were different from Alvin's.

He doesn't need to preempt the right to speak, he doesn't need to establish authority. He just needs Justin to let his guard down on himself.

Annan could see that Justin was not the type to be dull by nature. He has a keen sense of human opinion, but his style is overly serious and he likes to think before he acts. This often means that he has lost something important.

He was alone for long periods of time...... Judging by his age, most of them are family members such as parents, wife, or children.

He is always wary of his surroundings when he walks, prefers to look at the road rather than people, and seems restless all the time, which means that he has an inferiority complex hidden in his heart. When he first met Annan, he was very enthusiastic to pay tribute to Annan's etiquette in the Duchy of Winter, which shows that he has a worshipful attitude towards people of high status and low ability.

This means that what he desires is status.

And every man, or strictly speaking, every man, has a desire to be a "hero" in his heart. This is also the core interest point of various teamwork or team competitive games from ancient times to the present.

Strong and powerful, perfect and gorgeous to break through strong enemies, this is power;

Wisdom to be sharp in judgment and counter the enemy's strategy;

Leading teammates to defeat enemies is leadership;

Gentle and down-to-earth protection of teammates, this is the ability to protect the family......

One of the essences of competitive games is to guide people to become "heroes" and test people's ability to be "heroes".

In the process, the game tells the player who "I" is, why "I" should be proud, and why "I" am "me". In this way, the fundamental desire for self-realization is accomplished.

And when a person feels like a hero, their self-esteem and self-confidence are strengthened. I feel better and the world around me becomes closer and friendlier...... At this time, the first person who comes into contact with them will share this pleasure. And the "hero's" opinion of him will also be noticeably better.

That's one of the reasons why you feel like your friends are friendlier and more fun after winning in the dark. This sense of closeness is significantly greater than the sense of trust that comes with "winning together".

Annan's approach to Justin was to bypass the whole process. Reach directly with his heart.

He flexibly used the strong position of "Annan Winter" to constantly elevate and strengthen the other party's "sense of status"; show yourself as weak and powerless, in order to show the other party's "sense of strength"; Hide your leadership and worship him like a child, so as to strengthen the "self-identity" of the other person.

Whatever he lacks, Annan will give him.

Whatever he wants, Annan gives him.

Annan made Justin a "hero" in Justin for a short time.

- Why can he always be wary of Annan?

This is Annan's art of assassination.

"Brother Justin, can you help me take down the picture over there?"

Annan pointed to the top of a bookshelf: "I can't reach ......"

"Photos? Not...... Which one are you talking about, this one...... Or ......"

With some difficulty, Justin lifted his hand, stepped on the stool, and reached for the top of the shelf.

Annan, on the other hand, silently took the hammer out of his pocket and hid it in his sleeve.

Gently tapped on Justin's calf.
