Zelgan Mansion, Study.

Dean naturally walked around the desk and sat down in his own chair, and Arriande stood at the desk with his hands down.

This former 'Brotherhood' assassin stood with his hands down, looking calm, but there was a tension in his heart that was difficult to hide.

At this moment, he was looking at Dean with his eyes, waiting for Dean to speak.

This is not the so-called whoever speaks first loses the initiative to speak, just because he is used to having his boss speak when facing him.

Although, Dean is not his boss in the true sense of the word.

However, Arriande has also become accustomed to it.

"Don't worry, my promise will not change because of the change of time and the state of affairs!"

Noticing Arriande's nervousness and uneasiness, Dean reiterated.

For the assassin in front of him, the other party has a similar experience to him, and after several very pleasant cooperation, Dean will not lie to the other party.

In fact, from the beginning, Dean was cooperative.

After all, the 'Brotherhood''s 'betrayal' of Gadis had already made him have a new idea.

However, such a new idea still needs some 'cooperation' - both the Arriande's in front of him and the Gadis's.

"So, it's time for you to fulfill the last part of the agreement!"

Dean said.

"Hmm!"

Ariande nodded, but didn't act immediately.

Obviously, there is still a hesitation in my heart.

"I promise that I won't hurt her in the slightest until Gardis has done anything that makes me feel dangerous. Willing. Zelgaon's name swears! ”

Dean said again, and. In the form of an oath.

"Thank you for your commitment!"

Arriande bowed. Quickly disappeared behind the door of the study.

Dean waved at Tiger and Tom, who were looking at him. He stood up and walked towards the bookshelf.

Click, click!

As the springs turned, the bookshelves shifted horizontally, revealing the chamber where 'jailed' Gadis.

Or rather...... It is storage.

Because, in any sense, a prisoner with only a 'head' remaining, no matter how it is, not a 'prisoner'.

"Zelgaon...... Bastard...... Don't die well......"

Even through that well-sealed box. Gadis's voice could still come out intermittently, which was enough to show the hoarseness of the other party.

However, as Dean opened the box, the hoarseness disappeared.

Gardis stared at Dean with her grey eyes.

There was coldness in his eyes.

That kind of killing intent can be clearly felt even by ordinary people.

"Long time no see, Gadis!"

After placing the other's head on the desk, Dean sat down in his chair and greeted the other person with eye level.

"Another show off of the victors?"

Gadis's gaze grew colder and colder.

"No, no, just an equal conversation - I hope our relationship improves...... Ultimately. We didn't have any grudges in the beginning, just because of your mission. And let's confront and fight again and again, and then, we all have losses......"

Dean said slowly.

"What do you mean?"

Gardis's tone was extremely unkind.

"The Brotherhood believes you have betrayed the Order, and you are now one of the most wanted targets by the Brotherhood! Of course, your power in the Brotherhood has been completely eradicated...... Unexpectedly, in addition to Hures, the remaining three inheritors will also treat you as a thorn in the side! ”

Dean shook his head as if with emotion.

"What did you do?!"

Gardis roared.

If the previous gaze was only cold, then, at this time, Jiadis's gaze has already been devoured.

"I didn't do anything!"

Dean calmly looked at Gardis, with calmness in his eyes, and said in a calm tone: "After you, the 'Brotherhood' has not ended its assassination of me!" It's even getting more and more intense -- it's very much in line with the style of your organization! However, their minds are not very smart, and a misunderstanding led them to think that you taught me the [Nine Death Methods of Substitutes] that you modified...... So, they think you've betrayed the organization! ”

"Misunderstanding?"

Gadis sneered, she wanted to say something to taunt Dean.

However, before he could speak, he was interrupted by Dean.

"Such a misunderstanding is obvious, and I don't mean anything dominant! As for why it has developed into the current situation? I guess you know better than I do, right? Your competitors, they're the ones to blame - and I'm the one at best...... And, as a trigger, I felt uneasy! So, I want to give you a chance, a chance to cooperate! ”

Dean said, the corners of his mouth turned up, and a smile appeared.

He wasn't worried that Gadis wouldn't agree.

Dean already knew enough about the lady in front of him.

In addition to being talented, the biggest impression should be that he is very ambitious!

From the time when the other party couldn't wait to take over the tasks related to him, to the hostility of the other heirs of the 'Brotherhood' towards her, it can be seen how unloved this lady is.

This is the opposite of the other party's cute doll-like appearance.

The other party has ambitions, and will not be willing to be hunted down and killed, and the status quo of rights being taken away.

The opponent needs to fight back, and they need the strength to turn the situation around.

And at this time, he became a key point.

As for returning to the 'Brotherhood', to set the record straight?

Anyone with a clear mind would not have such an option.

The 'Brotherhood' is an Assassin organization, not a good church, and it is wishful thinking to use words to move!

If the other party really chooses to go back, I am afraid that he will encounter an even worse situation than now.

With the methods of the assassins and the situation where the opponent made countless enemies at the beginning, that situation is completely conceivable.

So. Dean promised his cooperation to the other party. It's confident.

Even if the other party doesn't admit it-

"What if I don't say yes?"

Gadis asked coldly.

"If you don't say yes. I can only keep you imprisoned for the time being, as promised, and in your complete posture - but you can rest assured that I will do you the same as promised, and will not hurt you in the slightest! ”

Dean shrugged.

"Agreed...... Arion?! ”

Gadis is not stupid, on the contrary, very smart. Dean only revealed a hint of the tone, and she guessed something.

"Well, that's right, it's Ariand! He's the only one of your subordinates to escape, and he's come to me in the hope that I'll spare you - and he's made a series of contracts with me to do so! In fact, I'm curious to people like you. Why are there such loyal subordinates! ”

Dean nodded, on this kind of thing. He has nothing to deny.

That didn't stop Dean's curiosity, though.

After all, the other party is definitely not a truly benevolent person like the Jade Grand Duke.

An heir cultivated by an assassin organization is a must to be cold-blooded and ruthless, and if necessary, the closest person can also give a fatal backstab.

And such a person will have such loyal subordinates.

Obviously incredible.

Dean was noncommittal about the Assassin's loyalty.

However, Ariander gave Dean a new understanding of the word "Assassin".

"When I was bored, I got a dog, what does it matter to you?"

Gadis sneered.

"Of course, it's none of my business!"

Dean shrugged again.

However, in the depths of Dean's eyes, there was an inexplicable meaning.

Although Gadis was very well disguised, at such a distance, Dean could clearly see the unnaturalness on the other party's face - the unnaturalness of the mention of Arion.

"It's a deliberate acting, which makes me think I have an extra handle...... Or what ...... does the other party have?"

Dean thought silently in his heart.

And the conversation between the two stopped in amazement after the topic of Arriande.

All that's left is to wait.

Three hours.

Arriande reappeared in Dean's study, with an extra mummy-like body wrapped in bandages - no doubt a human body, judging by the shape.

"Lord Gardis!"

After carefully lowering his mummified body, Arriande fell to one knee against the head of Gardis on the desk.

"Get up! Ariande, you're doing a good job this time! ”

Jiadis said lightly.

A feeling of superiority arises spontaneously, although at this moment, Gadis only has a head.

"Thank you, sir, for the compliment!"

Arriande replied with a smile.

Dean looked at Ariande's smile and frowned—it was the first time he had seen a smile on his face, and it was from the bottom of his heart.

Immediately, Dean had another guess in his heart.

And at this time, Gadis looked at Dean-

"Zelgaon?"

"What's wrong?"

"You're right to me. Bare. Intrigued? ”

Gadis asked.

"Of course not?"

Dean replied earnestly.

"So, can I ask you out?"

Gardis's tone grew cold again.

"It's a pity, I was hoping to see the process of the [Nine Deaths of the Substitute]...... I'm right outside the door, and I'll be the first to get to anything – so if you have any questions, just call me! ”

Dean shook his head and sighed, reminding the other at the same time.

"Thank you so much for your kindness!"

Gadis sneered a few times.

"You're welcome!"

Dean smiled in response.

Then, turning and walking out of the study, Arriande hastened to follow.

The door slowly closed.

PS First Update~

When I was about to go to bed last night, a female friend sent a short article to Decadence with ** - the cultivation of a spare tire......

Then, I asked how the decadence felt.

Decadent replied very directly, I don't have any feelings, it's better to think about what to eat tomorrow.

Then, the goods directly said that please be decadent and spicy today......

Decadent asked very carefully, can you bring two sandwich meatloaf?

I haven't heard back from that item until now...... Decadence just asked twice more, but there is still no news......

Alas!

O sorrow of shyness in the bag! Rubbing two sandwich meatloaf, they all have to be stalked like this! (To be continued......)
