Chapter 424: A Wise Choice
"Thanks for the compliment!" Alfie respectfully bowed to the clown in the most standard curtsits.
"This bottle of Drogan whisky should be a little compensation for Planck, I don't think you will, right?" the Joker grinned at Alfie.
"As it should be. Alfie agreed, ignoring Barnett's frantic glances at him. He understood the subtext of the clown's words very well, as long as this bottle of Drogen whisky was used as an apology, not only him, but also Planck himself, the transparent man, would no longer bother with them about what had just happened. This is a tacit understanding that is unique to smart people.
"If I'm not mistaken, you broke the bottle on purpose, and then mixed the anesthetic into the wine as you put the bottle on the ground?" asked the clown, with a look of recollection.
"Huh, wasn't I careful enough? You found out. Alfie complimented in surprise.
"No, no, no, I didn't notice your movements at the time, but I felt something strange when you placed the broken bottle later. The clown shook his head like a rattle.
"So there's a flaw there!" Alfie showed a look of sudden realization, he had just deliberately put the bottle face down on the ground in order to prevent the anesthetic that had just been mixed with the wine and had not been completely mixed with the wine from flowing out of the broken bottle, but he didn't expect it to be such a small detail that made the clown discover his secret.
"What surprises me even more is you-" The Joker turned his head to the old dwarf Barnett, "your acting skills can be said to be flawless, I didn't even notice that you were acting!"
"Is that the true character of the act?" the old dwarf said with a wry smile in his heart, except for the very mysterious look that Alfie gave him before he smashed him, everything else was whether Alfie was good or not, until Planck was stunned, he really thought that those fine wines would say goodbye to him from now on.
"I suppose the tacit understanding between Mr. Barnett and us is enough to satisfy you, isn't it?" interjected Alfie, afraid that the old dwarf would accidentally say something.
The experience just now taught him that when facing the clown, he can't show a little flaw.
"Satisfied, of course satisfied!" clown wildly, "if only my team had this kind of tacit understanding......"
The Joker didn't say any more, but Alfie could guess that their current situation of being forced to be a thug for Cross had something to do with the tacit understanding in the Joker's mouth.
The Joker paused after stopping his applause, and one of them turned over and crouched back on Ers's shoulder, and he rolled over and picked up the bottle of Drogan whiskey with his foot, and when he landed on Ers's shoulder, the bottle was gone, and no one could see him put it into the space equipment in full view.
"I have to thank you again for not interfering in our communication with Mr. Planck. "Alfie is grateful from the bottom of her heart. If the clown had just seen the flaw and intervened, neither Planck had been overturned as he had hoped, or the clown had used this as an excuse to attack, he would not have gotten any better results than he had now.
"Huh. Eat the fruit you have sown. I'm not obligated to help Planck out the trouble he caused by his own carelessness. The clown sneered, his attitude towards his companions who would not save him made Alfie and the others feel cold.
"You're laughing. We just want your approval, and we don't dare to really do anything to Mr. Planck. Alfie saw through the real reason why the clown was so calm, and that was that Planck's life would not be in danger.
Thinking of this, Alfie quietly withdrew the potion bottle in his other hand that was almost identical to the paralyzing potion, which was a highly toxic potion called "Sneik Potion" that was enough to poison a demon bear with one drop.
Looking at the murderous aura in the clown's eyes, Alfie had no doubt that if Planck was poisoned by him just now, then everyone present would probably be dragged by the angry clown to bury the transparent man.
In fact, Alfie chose the paralysis potion instead of the Sneek potion, simply thinking that there was no deep hatred between them and the clowns, but in a sense, they were both enemies of the castle owner, which gave them a little basis for cooperation.
Alfie was now glad that she hadn't chosen to mix the potion into the Beaglet rum she had just made. It's ridiculous that he was extremely entangled in this at the beginning, but now it seems that he has made an extremely wise choice, and retains all the opportunities available to him to the maximum. This is almost the best situation in the current situation.
"Okay. The old dwarf passed the test. - Even if I don't agree, for the sake of the wine, Planck will definitely be open to the old dwarf. The clown lazily pointed at Barnett, giving the old dwarf an ecstatic look on his face, it was worth it to exchange two bottles of wine for a life!
"Thank you!" Alfie saluted again. The implicit meaning in the clown's words is obvious, the reason why he released water on the old dwarf was largely for the sake of the transparent man's face. But from the clown's attitude, Alfie guessed a lot of things.
"Oh, little one, don't think Planck is so easy to deal with, you just happen to suit his appetite. His trials for you are not over. The clown reminded.
"Of course, we understand this very well and are willing to continue to be tested by Mr. Planck. Alfie replied politely. He wasn't naïve enough to think that the transparent people had been leveled by them like this, on the contrary, Alfie also felt a headache about the possible thunderous outbursts after the transparent people woke up for a while.
After all, the transparent man has not communicated much with everyone since his appearance, except for showing no less enthusiasm for fine wine than Barnett, and Alfie does not know him as thoroughly as he does with the Joker, so Alfie is not completely sure about the challenge that the transparent man may face next.
"Until then, I think you'll have to face Us. I warn you, don't underestimate Uss just because he's an earth elemental golem. The Joker patted the top of Ers' rocky brain.
"No problem. Uss is a wise earth elemental puppet~" The deep voice of the earth elemental puppet made a little girl's tone that she learned from nowhere, causing everyone, including the clown and Alfie, to tremble.
"We'll give you plenty of respect, Mr. Uss!" replied Alfie, forcibly suppressing her urge to laugh out loud.
"It's up to you, Uss, don't be ashamed again!" the Joker commanded softly. He blushed a little at how he had spoken out about his efforts to woo Alfie, so it seemed that his squad members were no better than Alfie's team!
