Why it never ends

Chapter 278 Awareness
Hesta chewed calmly, and answered after a while: "...just wait."

"That taste, isn't it good?"

"Indeed." Hesta looked forward, "Every minute, every second is suffering."

Tanglar sneered.

"But the wait is usually worth it." Hesta suddenly smiled and looked sideways. "As long as the result is good, the suffering in the process will become a sweet memory-this is my experience."

"Oh, memory," Tanglar squeezed the knife in his hand, "do you think—"

"Go get a glass of milk, Viscount." Hesta said softly, "No matter what you are waiting for, you'd better be ready to meet it at any time."

With that said, Hesta looked back at Zoe who was not far away, "Did you stay here with him all night?"

"I came here just before dawn." Zooey replied indifferently, "Anyway, I'm not sleepy, so let him go as crazy as he likes."

Tanglar stared at Hesta, pondering over the meaning of the phrase "welcome anytime", and was not sure for a while whether there was any deep meaning in this sentence.

Hesta said again: "Last night, I heard from Sophie that the Duke seems to be going to visit the cemetery today. Will you go?"

"I... haven't thought about it yet."

Tanglar didn't say too much, he observed Hesta's expression, and refused to let go of every possible hint.

"If you go out, remember to wear more clothes." Hesta said softly, "It's very cold outside today."

……

At nine o'clock in the morning, the Villefort family set off by car.Before leaving, Alvira led Sophie to find Trisha on a special trip, hoping to borrow Eureka for an hour this afternoon so that she could accompany Sophie back to the Duke's mansion temporarily.Trisha agreed.

During the conversation here, Calvin was on the phone with Victoria outside the manor. He roughly recounted the conversation he had with Villefort last night, explaining the reason why the Duke suddenly lost his composure last night. Victoria did not say much about this process. The question is just to remind Calvin to pay attention to his attitude when communicating in the future.

"By the way," Victoria remembered something, "Who came up with the idea of ​​going to Rohan Palace?"

Just as Calvin was about to answer, he suddenly realized that if he said Hesta, it would mean breaking the new rules promulgated by Trisha last night - he took the initiative to disclose the content of the mission to her, although this matter Happened before he heard the order.

It is true that this matter is not unexplainable, but saying it will cause trouble for both herself and Hesta at the same time-not to mention that she took so much trouble to give so many suggestions last night.

"It's me." Calvin replied, "Because you suggested that I find a way to create melee conditions."

"Very good." Victoria's praise came from the other end of the phone, "It's the first time you participate in a critically endangered battle, you can have the awareness to actively set up the battlefield, keep it up."

"Thank you."

"Then contact again."

"Okay, bye."

After hanging up the phone, Calvin looked up and saw that the Villefort family had appeared on the path in front of the villa—he took a deep breath, and today's work was about to begin.

Sophie and Alvira got into the car first, and when Villefort took off his hat and was about to enter the car, Tanglar's voice came from behind, "Wait for me! Wait for me!"

Everyone turned their heads and saw Tanglar trotting towards this side.

"Viscount...?"

"I'll go with you!" Danglars grabbed Villefort's hand panting, "I, I haven't seen the old duke for a long time...I'll go with you..."

"but--"

Before Villefort could speak, Danglars had pulled him away with one hand, rushed into the car, and Sophie directly opened the door on the other side and jumped to the ground.

"Uncle Tanglar! What are you doing!"

Alvira shook her head in embarrassment, and simply got out of the car with Sophie, leaving the place for Tanglar and Mercury Needle who accompanied him.

This small episode delayed a little time, but soon, Villefort's team adjusted to start again.

In the villa, Trisha watched the convoy leave. She turned her head and saw Hesta was still sitting in the hall.

"Aren't you going with them?" Tereza asked. "Sophie seems to want you to go home with her today?"

"It's okay, I have time," Hester replied, "Miss Chiba said that she might call me between [-]:[-] and [-]:[-] today, and I won't leave until [-]:[-]."

"Okay, pay attention to the time."

"I will."

Trisha left the hall and got up to go upstairs.Hesta looked at the clock quietly, pretending to wait.The villa was very quiet in the morning, except for the servants who cleaned the house, the whole hall was quiet and no one spoke.

At [-]:[-], Hesta got up from her seat. She lowered her head and re-checked her personal documents, and went to the garage of the manor to register to borrow a car.

As soon as the car arrived at the gate of the manor, Su Lei's car drove towards him, and the other party honked his horn, "Eureka?"

Hesta stopped the car, "It's me, Officer Su Lei."

"Is Victoria there?"

"Not here." Hesta replied, "You can go to Trisha directly if you have anything to do."

"Thank you!"

Before Hesta could ask her why she came in such a hurry, Su Lei had already left. Hesta looked at the receding figure of the car in the rearview mirror, and thought of the solemn expression on her face just now, he couldn't help but Some care about her coming.

After a moment of hesitation, Hesta stepped on the gas pedal again—she made an appointment with Palan to meet in a cafe located between the manor and the cemetery.

She needs to obtain Victoria's position from Palan, which will be the key to deciding whether Tanglar can be terminated today.

……

"Teresa!"

Su Lei stepped into the hall of the villa.

"Ms. Teresa! Where are you, Ms. Teresa!"

The door was opened and footsteps were heard in the corridor on the second floor. Trisha poked her head out, "What's the matter, Officer Su Lei?"

"Where's Victoria? I want to see her!"

Teresa was startled, then smiled and said, "Please come up and talk inside."

After Su Lei went upstairs, there was almost no pleasantries between the two of them. Trisha informed the internal changes of the mercury needle last night, and Su Lei expressed his understanding, "That means you are now the one who makes the decisions?"

"It's not very accurate...but it can be understood in this way." Tereza replied, "What is your important discovery...?"

"Where are the Tanglars?"

"I just set off for the cemetery with the Duke of Villefort an hour ago." Teresa's eyes sharpened. "What's wrong?"

"I suspect that the assassin has already set his sights on him—Grey's disappearance is not that simple, he must have been 'disappeared'." Su Lei said resoundingly, "I will explain the specific reasons later, to avoid accidents, please immediately Control Tanglar's actions."
