Chapter 204: Secret Information
It's over!
Looking at the moment when Walter was pierced by Patilina's spear, Kate only felt as cold as falling into an ice cave. He didn't expect that the Sword of the Wind, which was once the most powerful guardian of the family, would be defeated and killed by such a little girl. But now, this scene is really unfolding in front of him, so that Kate can't deny it if she wants to. He could only stare at Walter's corpse, which had lost the support of his soul power, completely wiped out in the ferocious flames, and there was not even a trace of residue left. If she could, Kate wished it was a nightmare, but alas, he knew very well that it was a reality, a reality that could not be changed.
"That's it, Mr. Soros."
Knowing that Daily's cold voice sounded in Kate's ears brought him back to his senses. He took his eyes off the pile of burning ashes, and then looked to the other side, only to see that on the other side, most of the members of the Silver Wolf Knights he brought had been killed and wounded, and the few remaining people had also disarmed and surrendered, looking at their disgraced looks, Kate knew that the scene of Patilina defeating the Sword of the Wind was too shocking, and even he had lost the heart to fight in the face of this absolutely powerful force, so why not these soldiers?
"yes......... That's it, Miss Delly. ”
However, as the next heir of the Soros family, Kate is still very personable, his frustration only shows for a few seconds, and then he quickly stands up again casually patting the grass on his trouser legs, and regains his usual calm attitude.
"This is your victory, and the victory of the Pawood family. I won't say I'm blinded......... All I can say is that it seems that I haven't investigated carefully enough......... Sometimes, arrogance can be a recipe for failure. And I've got the idea, so it's time to enjoy the privileges of the winners. Miss Delily, what are you going to do with me? ”
"This ..............."
Hearing Kate's inquiry, Daily frowned, the battle between the nobles was bloody and cruel, but at the same time it maintained certain rules. Even if it is Delly, she can't cross the line. In fact, according to Deli's idea, killing Kate directly here is definitely a hundred. But that's it. The Pawood family will be attacked by the Soros family's crazy counterattack, and it is even very likely that they will lose both. This is nothing to lose for the failed Soros family, but it is very depressing for the Pawood family. It's like a group of people racing, the fastest person is about to cross the line, and the second runner pounces on him and pushes him to the ground, and as a result, the glory of the first place is given to others, and this kind of harm to others is not something that the Soros family has never done, and Deli has to be careful.
Thinking of this, Dellie couldn't help but glance at Patilina and the girl knights. They are the key to this, and if Patilina and her knights belong to the Pawood family, then Deli will definitely dare to tear her face with the Soros family here, and she is confident enough to face any counterattack and revenge. But here's the problem. They were not members of the Pawood family...............
"Wait."
But before Dellie could figure out what to do with the man, Patilina, who had been silent beside her, suddenly spoke.
"Before that, I had something to ask this guy, how did you find us? I don't think you have any such thing as an air-to-ground satellite. That's weird, how do you know our way up the mountain? And also prepared an ambush in advance? ”
Hearing this, Dai Li also reacted. She frowned. Staring at Kate. If you think about it carefully, this is indeed a problem, you must know that you obviously know that you are coming from this direction when you look at them before, and you have also made arrangements for the encirclement here in advance, which shows that the other party is very clear about their movements. But how exactly is this done? Although Deli knew that some prophetic mages could indeed predict their targets, she didn't think that the Soros family could have such power, and she also knew that the girl knights around her were also masters of magic, and if anyone wanted to monitor them, they would definitely not react at all.
Of course, this does not rule out that the Soros family has some kind of powerful power, but Dai Li thinks that this is unlikely. Since Soros is a military family, they have never looked up to magic. Letting a god-turbulent prophecy archmage mix in the intrigue between the nobles, Dai Li felt that the Soros family should not have such ability.
Hearing Patilina's inquiry, Kate looked up at her with a wry smile, then sighed helplessly and shook her head.
"How do I know, you should already know it."
"I just want to hear from me."
In the face of Kate's inquiry, the little one snorted coldly, and then her cold gaze swept over Kate and looked behind Deli.
"There is only one idiot in us who dares to do such a stupid thing!"
"Poof!!"
Almost at the same time, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground came from behind Delly, and the girl turned her head to see that behind her, Roddy was pale and trembling as he looked at Patilina, who was glaring at him coldly. Seeing his expression, Dai Li obviously already knew the answer.
"Is that your ............? Roddy? ”
"No, no, no, no, no!! How could it be me? ”
Hearing Daily's question, Roddy hurriedly waved his hand vigorously, and at the same time, he glanced at Kate who was standing not far away in a panic. In fact, there was no need to answer, his expression had completely betrayed his inner thoughts.
"Just like you think, yes."
Kate was not at all surprised by Roddy's pleading gaze, instead, he shrugged his shoulders and replied.
"Actually, I didn't find you first, or I wouldn't have ambushed here. You know, I didn't take this young lady and these girls into a knight at the time, and if I did run into you directly, then I would not have chosen such a time-wasting thing. In fact, the first person I met was this 'young master' of Roddy. His cowardice was not just circulated in aristocratic circles, and I only threatened him a little. He obediently agreed to my terms. If he finds you, he will inform me using the communication gems he has already prepared. Of course, I'm just leaving a backhand, and even if I fail, it's nothing. But as you can see, luckily, I succeeded. ”
Speaking of this, Kate's gaze at Roddy was also a little complicated.
"But to be honest, I now think it would be nice if it didn't work out."
“…………………”
Deli didn't listen to Kate's sigh at all, she just stared at Roddy coldly, making no secret of her disappointment in him. With what she knew about Roddy. Deli can be sure that what Kate said is true, because Roddy is such a cowardly person, and Kate still has the Sword of the Wind on her side, I'm afraid that Roddy will pee his pants in fright just by looking at the old man, and he will agree no matter what the other party says.
Although intellectually understandable, Deli is completely unacceptable emotionally. Anyway, she also grew up with Roddy, and now, because of the other party's intimidation. Roddy can hand himself over without hesitation. This made Deli feel quite disappointed.
"You've really disappointed me, Roddy."
“…………… I, I didn't mean to, Deli. ”
Roddy also knew that his quibbles were useless. Therefore, he could only speak in a low voice.
"He threatened me that if he knew I had found your track and didn't tell him, he would turn me into a walking corpse! I don't want to be the undead. I'm still young and I don't want to die............"
"So you chose to betray me?"
"Me. I had no choice......... And he, he said he wouldn't kill you............"
Said here. Facing Delily's angry gaze, Roddy couldn't say any more, he muttered a few words, and then lowered his head in despair, looking at the ground without saying a word. Looking at his appearance, Dai Li was also angry.
Deli never thought that victory would give her such a headache, and now she has to think about not only what to do with Kate, but also how to deal with Roddy. Truth be told, in Deli's opinion, killing them here is the best option. Because if Roddy is put back, then this matter will definitely have to be told to the patriarchs of the two families, and the alliance between the two sides is likely to be shaken and broken as a result. Conversely, as long as Roddy and his men were dead, it could be inferred that even if they asked, the Grand Duke would probably grieve the death of his son, but it would not shake the alliance between Ginkgo and the Pawoods. From Deli's point of view, the former is obviously the best choice.
But......... She is not a bloodless and tearless machine, but a human being. Although Roddy made mistakes, he grew up with himself since he was a child. If she gave up on him in such a cold-blooded manner, this kind of thing, Dai Li thought she couldn't do it. Thinking of this, Dai Li couldn't help glaring at Kate fiercely, these troubles were not all caused by the heir of the Soros family, if it weren't for him, how could he be in this dilemma?
"Hehehe........."
Sensing Deli's gaze, Kate also chuckled.
"You don't need to look at me like that, Miss Delly, I just did what I was supposed to do. And I'm telling the truth, I really don't mean to kill you..............."
"That's nonsense."
Faced with Kate's answer, Dali scoffed.
"Why pretend to be innocent here when you sent assassins to attack us before? Mr. Kate? ”
Hearing Daily's words, Kate was stunned for a moment, showing a questioning expression.
"Assassins? What assassin? ”
"Just last night, we were attacked by a group of assassins, wasn't that what the Soros family had been?"
Looking at Kate's puzzled expression, Dai Li asked with obvious dissatisfaction. But what Deli didn't expect was that this time Kate denied her accusation.
"No, that's not what I did. In fact, we didn't send any Assassins at all, Miss Delly. You also know that I have the Sword of the Wind by my side, and with him by my side, it seems to me that it will be easy to deal with you. And why send any assassins? If we startle the snake, it's not good for us, is it? Moreover, I must make it clear that I had hoped to invite you to join the Soros family until now, so how could I send a group of assassins against you? ”
“…………… This ..............."
Hearing Kate's answer, Daily was stunned for a moment, and then she immediately reacted that this was indeed the case. With such a powerful force in Kate's hands, why would she send assassins? And although what he said before was ridiculous, it was even more true because of this, because if he was going to shake Deli's mind, it was obviously a fool's dream to say that he wanted her to join the Soros family. But then............... Where did the Assassin who attacked him last night come from? The person in charge said that he was acting on orders, but he didn't know the name of the other party. At that time, Deli had already suspected that it was likely to be a commission from the Soros family, but now looking at Kate's appearance, those assassins have nothing to do with the Soros family at all?
So who exactly commissioned them to assassinate themselves? (To be continued......)
