Chapter 1196: The Price of Growth
Taotao did not expose Morey's behind-the-scenes activities, which can be regarded as saving enough face for Morey.
Morey also knows very well that his own deeds are afraid that he will not be able to escape the group of mechanical demons Taotao.
Although he was angry at Taotao's attitude, he didn't dare to break out.
In the end, Morey could only bow his head and bow down to Taotao to admit his mistake: "Okay, I admit that I have gained more power over the years, but I have lost it, and I have done some bad things, but I did not betray His Highness Lecius, and Shirley was just deliberately pushed to my side by the Tudor family in order to protect them." ”
Speaking of this, Morey turned to Hopkin and said, "Believe me, we, there is nothing between me and Shirley. ”
Hopkin's words before Taotao said it, he had already noticed Shirley beside Morey.
Suddenly, I remembered that Shirley had been by his side since Morey came back, and the two were almost inseparable.
It is impossible for any girl to tolerate the man she likes, and other women will appear around her.
Even Caroline, Modes, and Kirilla, who were around Lucius, had all kinds of open and secret rivalries with each other.
It's just that Lucius is dedicated to the public, and he doesn't have so much selfishness, and he doesn't think too much about love.
So, the three women were able to live unharmed by Lucius's side.
And Hopkin and Morey are a pair recognized by almost everyone, and everyone on the grass sea plain thinks that the two will be together.
In the future, they will become the true rulers of the Grass Sea Plain. Jointly in charge of the entire Caohai Plain.
However, no one, including Hopkin, did not expect it. There were other women next to Morey.
Hopkin gradually came to her senses, tears were already rolling in her eyes, her eyes had become red, and she could see that she was very sad about Morey's betrayal, and she hardly had much anger. Some are just sad and disappointed.
Hopkin, who used to be just an ordinary girl on the grass sea plain.
The appearance of Lucius has brought many changes to her today.
And when Hopkin thought. I have a good brother, and I will also get love at the time.
The person he trusted the most, his lover, actually betrayed himself.
Looking at Morey and Shirley beside him. Hopkin covered his mouth. Don't let yourself cry, but the tears have already burst out of your eyes.
Silent tears often make it more painful, and Morey is already a little overwhelmed when he sees this.
took two steps forward, wanting to continue to explain to Hopkin, and wanted to help Hopkin wipe away his tears.
But Hopkin suddenly stepped back, avoiding Morey's outstretched palm.
Seeing this, Shirley looked leisurely and walked slowly to Morey's side. With a false apology, he said, "I'm really sorry, but you should understand." Excellent men are always very attractive, not to mention, speaking of which, I also have the blood of the Clover family flowing in my body, and there is actually no distinction between you and me, is there actually no distinction between high and low, right?"
Shirley's words were like cold awls, stabbing directly at Hopkin's already bleeding heart.
Hopkin choked up and said in as calm a voice as he could, "Let's go." ”
Morey didn't expect Hopkin to say such a sentence in the end.
And Shirley, who was beside Morey, responded coldly: "You said let's go, are we going to go? Don't forget, Caohai Plain, it's not you who have the final say." ”
Hopkin wiped away the tears on his face and said unusually calmly: "Naturally, I don't have the final say in the Caohai Plain, but this is a mechanical castle. ”
As he spoke, Hopkin turned his head to look at Taotao: "Do it, throw them all out for me, I don't want to care about anything in the Caohai Plain anymore." ”
Taotao stepped forward and said indifferently to Morey: "Okay, Your Highness has spoken, you can leave." ”
In the face of Taotao's threat, Morey didn't dare to say anything, so he could only beg Hopkin: "Hopkin, don't do this, it's actually ......"
Hopkin turned his head away, ignored Morey's explanation, and said indifferently: "Please leave." ”
Seeing that Hopkin couldn't explain it, Morey could only sigh helplessly in the end.
Then he turned and led Shirley, Vasna, and the rest of the Tudor family away.
After Morey's departure, Hopkin suddenly opened his mouth and began to cry loudly.
The cry almost resounded throughout the base of the entire mechanical corps, but fortunately, Taotao was prepared in advance, using a special mechanical device to isolate the internal and external sounds, not letting Hopkin's cry go out, but also driving most of the mechanical soldiers away, not letting Hopkin cry bitterly, falling into the eyes of too many people.
The only ones left to accompany Hopkin were Taotao and Renault.
I don't know how long I cried, Hopkin gradually stopped and wiped the tears from his face.
Then, Hopkin turned to look at Renault and asked, "Renault, can I trust you?"
Renault originally wanted to comfort him, but he didn't expect that Hopkins would calm down and question himself like this.
In the face of Hopkin's questioning, especially Hopkin's different gaze.
Renault almost didn't think about it, and knelt directly in front of Hopkin on one knee and said, "Your Highness, Renault will always be loyal to you." ”
Hopkin nodded in satisfaction, and then said very calmly, "Renault wants you to remember today's oath." ”
Hopkin then said to Renault: "Renault, who do you think is the biggest obstacle to me really controlling the Caohai Plain?"
Renault was shocked again and looked up at Hopkin incredulously.
Vaguely, Renault felt that Hopkin, who had experienced love betrayal, seemed to grow up in an instant.
The original Hopkins gave people the impression of being very quiet and very gentle with anyone and everything.
But today's Hopkin is completely different from the past, and Renault can feel the arrogance of the king.
The current Hopkin is like a sharp blade that will devour the flesh and blood of the opponent at any time.
After being stunned for a moment, Renault gradually came to his senses, although he didn't understand what Hopkin wanted to do, Renault still replied very seriously: "Your Highness, today's Caohai Plain is divided into four forces, among which the absolute loyalty to you, if you don't count the mechanical corps, there is only the group of dwarfs commanded by the Parker brothers." ”
Hearing this, Hopkin lowered his head in contemplation and did not mean to interrupt Renault.
Seeing this, Renault continued: "The remaining three forces are actually three chaebols. ”
"They are the Venture Mining Company of the Black Iron Dwarves, the Demon Crystal Chaebol of the High Elves, and ......"
Speaking of which, Reynolds paused for a moment and looked at Hopkin's reaction.
Seeing that Hopkin didn't seem to react, he continued: "And the Stone Cliff Plutocracy where the Tudor family and the orcs cooperated. ”
Renault paused again, and then said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, if you want to control the entire Caohai Plain, I'm afraid the biggest obstacle should still be the Stone Cliff Chaebol, because of Morey over the years, in fact, the Tudor family has almost embezzled the interests of the orcs, and the Stone Cliff Chaebol is actually the private property of the Tudor family." ”
After being silent for a long time, Hopkin snorted coldly and said, "Taotao, you go and solve it, I want to control the entire Caohai Plain before my brother needs me." ”
When Taotao heard Hopkin's order, she immediately became excited, and happily agreed: "Okay, you can rest assured." ”
Looking at the back of Taotao leaving, Renault already felt that the Caohai Plain would set off a bloody storm again. (To be continued......)
