Why it never ends

Chapter 210 Arrogance
Victoria glanced at her watch, and the time had already pointed to 9:24.

time is limited.

She had to return to the base by 9:30 or let Suzie and the others fly over - in addition to arranging the evacuation of these two potential victims, they still had a very heavy task today.

Among other things, the images of the assassin captured by Stella alone provide quite a lot of clues. They are the assassin's competition with Victoria inside the nearly closed bell tower. In that state, the assassin There is no need to imitate anyone.

In other words, it is very likely that it is the "real" combat image of the assassin.

For such things, Victoria obviously wanted to send them to the core city in person, and she must not let any accidents happen to the photos and negatives.

There was silence in the huge living room, and Victoria suddenly opened her chair and stood up. At this moment, she saw Tanglar raised her head in horror.

After realizing that Victoria was not about to leave, Tanglar immediately looked away.

This detail made Victoria suddenly feel that everything was still to be discussed.

"... I wonder if you two have heard of a magical animal called fainting sheep?"

Danglars grimaced and did not answer, while Villefort shook his head.

"This kind of sheep is very interesting. Once they are frightened, they will directly faint on all fours.

"Although fainting can temporarily relieve the fear of death, it can't save their lives—when the other sheep have run away, it will lie motionless until it becomes a predator's meal."

Tanglar's facial features have been twisted into a ball, "...you...you are telling this kind of story now——"

"I have to say that this kind of stress response sometimes happens to people." Victoria said sincerely, "A small amount of fear awakens people's fighting spirit, while too strong fear directly shatters people's will, making people I would rather stay in a familiar place and wait to die than let go of a gamble.

"I ask you two to seriously think about the difference between the plan I proposed today and the one planned by Old Inspector Schmidt himself. I understand your fear now, but at least you are safe now, as long as you restore your rationality a little bit -"

"Don't waste your energy!" Tanglar overturned the cups on the table with a clatter. The white porcelain cups and plates were smashed into pieces in an instant, and the brown coffee splashed on the tiles on the floor.

Seemingly still not relieved, Tanglar immediately overturned the cups, plates, knives and forks in front of Villefort's table. He stood up excitedly, and his fat belly shook violently.

"I can't trust you mercury needles the most. You crawled from the wasteland to the livable land one by one. You have brought in all the disgusting things!"

Pointing at Victoria's face not far away, he said sharply, "I am all powerful, and I only know how to play with other people's lives—the assassin is someone from within you, right? What are you pretending to be a savior here? You just tell me directly, if I go with you and something happens, what price will you pay!?"

"...what'what's the price'?" Ende didn't understand.

"We are on the same plane as you." Victoria replied, "If something happens to you, we will die with you."

Tanglar let out a wild laugh. After getting this answer, he seemed to have a lot of courage suddenly.

He pressed the table with one hand and gestured excitedly in the air with the other, "Then let's not discuss whether the lives of you wasteland pariahs are worthless. If you are serious about what you say, just pull a few people from your team out to give Rishishi Mitt pays for his life—can you do it?"

This probing, which was intended to arouse the other party's anger, was like a stone sinking into the sea, without arousing the slightest ripple.

The three mercury needles on the opposite side looked at him motionlessly, showing no anger or grievance as he expected.Ende even shrunk her neck back, extruding a double chin.

This expression seems to be asking - is this person crazy?
Suddenly, Victoria felt a little relieved. She folded her arms and said calmly, "Of course it's impossible, even in a livable place. No policeman will be arrested for murdering the victim." shot.

"However, I can also see that the Viscount doesn't seem to believe that we are willing to do our best in this matter... Apart from immediately killing a few mercury needles to relieve Your Excellency, is there any way to make you temporarily believe in our sincerity?"

Tanglar was waiting for this sentence. He put on a menacing look and said in a vicious voice: "Well, what about your parents? What about your brothers and sisters? Husbands are also fine - it seems that you don't look like those who have given birth... Let them Come here and let them stay with us the whole time, I believe in your sincerity—otherwise, nothing will be discussed!"

"That's really unfortunate," Victoria suddenly laughed, "because..."

Tanglar waited for a long time but didn't wait for Victoria's next words. He knocked on the table anxiously, "Because of what?"

"Because they are all dead and cannot be your hostages." Victoria looked at the two people beside her, "What about you? Do you have any family members who can make His Highness the Viscount feel at ease?"

Nde shrugged, "I am the only survivor of the Gadatov Wasteland massacre."

Trisha shook her head, and her voice was slow, with a hint of regret, "I am also the only survivor of our wasteland."

"How can I say that?" Victoria picked up the coat she had draped over the back of the chair, "Do your best, let's go."

For a moment, Tanglar felt as if he was stunned. He stood still and looked at the backs of the three mercury needles walking out. He couldn't say a word for a while. When their figures disappeared at the door, the Viscount finally jumped up. .

"Ha - I'm going - I'm going to discredit you AHgAs! I'm going to make you all pay, do you think I'm a bully! I will never walk away quietly like Hoffman and the others ——I've already made an appointment with a reporter! I want everyone in the Habitable Land to see how incompetent and stupid you are—"

"We're waiting." Victoria's echo echoed in the distance.

……

After leaving the gate of the Duke of Villefort's mansion, Ende looked at Victoria, "What is an 'untouchable'?"

The corners of Victoria's lips were sullen, obviously still angry.

"It's a curse word," Trisha explained from the side, "it means you have a bad background."

"But I'm a mercury needle!" Endai's eyes widened, "One in a million, isn't that good?"

Tereza smiled, but did not answer.

"Also, I don't understand why he proposed to kill a few of our people. Isn't he afraid that this will make us unhappy?"

"I think that should be a kind of negotiation technique." Trisha said softly, "First make a request that is absolutely impossible to achieve, and then show your true opinion—"

"People who don't even have basic common sense don't use any negotiation skills," Victoria turned her head angrily, looking at the building behind her, "How can a person be so arrogant? I'm really out of my mind and wasting it here All morning."
