Use foreign lands to conquer the whole of Europe

There was a hint of cold anger in Slade's deep voice.

And when she spoke the second half of the sentence, the temperature in the entire hall dropped suddenly.

Anji's breathing stagnates, and he tries to keep his body as still as possible, but he has a strong illusion that he can't exert himself.

Rabin knelt down on one knee as soon as she finished speaking, lowered her head and said in a deep voice, "Master Slade, I never betrayed you—"

But his words were interrupted mercilessly by Slade:
"Yeah, it's just 'missing some facts', not deceit—am I right?"

She said so, looked at her panicked subordinates, and smiled bitterly again: "Do you really think I'm so easy to fool? Rabin, you are only in your 40s now? Are you tired of living?"

"I'm very sorry, Lord Slade. I did miss some crucial parts..."

"Some?"

Slade sneered, and instantly sank his face.From the moment Rabin finished his report, she had quickly gone through everything the other party said in her mind, and soon discovered the clues.

Even though she had exposed Rabin face to face and clearly pointed out that he was "omitting some facts", Rabin still did not choose to tell her the truth, but evaded it vaguely.

This caused the anger in Slade's heart to soar so quickly that she didn't want to keep any sympathy anymore, and directly brought up the most contradictory places on the spot:

"You said that Angie and Hadford fell into the cave under the church together, but Angie was the only one who managed to escape.

"You thought Hadford was dead, but he reappeared in the church inexplicably, as if he was thrown from a height by someone, and he recovered a lot of vitality inexplicably, and he didn't even treat you Shot again.

"In the end, he even took Angie away under the noses of you and Pedra. Not only did he take away her gifts, but he even managed to bring this little girl back intact—"

Slade became more and more angry, and his tone became faster and faster. In the end, he suddenly raised his right hand and slammed it heavily on the long white table in front of her.

Accompanied by a muffled "boom", the extremely hard surface of the marble table dented instantly.Numerous fine cracks extended from under Slade's scaly black claw, and then, under Angie's nervous gaze, they burst apart.

Fragments of white stones were scattered all over the ground, which made Rabin tremble with fear.He couldn't help but sucked in a breath of cold air, and before he could recover a bit, he heard Slade's extremely angry growl:
"Rabin! Can you believe what you said? Can the part you concealed be regarded as 'only some'?!"

Under Slade's undisguised strong killing intent, Rabin's body began to tremble slightly.

This burly middle-aged man couldn't help swallowing, and decisively suppressed those excuses that he hadn't had time to say.Judging from the current situation, if he says any wrong word again, it may cause the worst result-Slade, who is angry with his head, may really shoot him directly.

Seeing that Rabin was suddenly silent, and the temperature in the hall was as low as winter, Angie's heart was also suspended.

Although Slade cueed himself in his words, the anger and killing intent were directed at Rabin, which made it hard for Angie to imagine how Rabin would feel at this moment.

As the other party's accomplice, Angie was debating whether to take the initiative to speak.Judging from the current situation, the eccentric lord seems to be holding Rabin alone.

Of course, it's more likely that it's just that it's not Angie's turn - after all, she doesn't think the other party will let her go easily.

After Rabin was silent, Slade did not speak again.

For a while, the scene reached a stalemate.

After the warm and bright hall in the past became as cold as winter, it fell into dead silence again.It took a long time for the distraught Angie to realize the abnormality: the fire that should have been crackling hadn't made any sound for a long time.

She carefully glanced at the fireplace from the corner of her eye, but she didn't see a single flame dancing.

In the hearth not far away, there is only a pile of charcoal that has been burnt to black, and the flickering red light shines from under the dry and cracked skin, as if to prove to the world that the previous exuberant fires are real. passed.

Angie sighed silently in her heart, then looked back at Slade.

Even if the man didn't turn his head, she can be sure that the other party can definitely feel her gaze.

Sure enough, Angie soon heard Slade's extremely cold voice:

"Why, do you think you deserve to intercede for him?"

Although Slade said so, he didn't turn his head to look at Angie, but still stared at Rabin who knelt on one knee in the middle of the hall, bowed his head and remained silent.

This made Anji make up his mind, and said softly:

"Master Slade, the main responsibility for this matter still rests with me."

Hearing this, Slade slowly looked away, and turned to face the girl standing beside him.

It's just that she was full of deep anger, and after staring at Anji dissatisfiedly for a while, she said in a strange tone with a mocking to somewhat distorted expression:
"Before I started scolding you, it's really rare for you to volunteer to be scolded. Why, you think I'm easy to fool?"

Anji silently listened to this man's yin and yang and angry tone, and there was only one thought in his mind: If you really want to scold, you can scold, a man can bend and stretch, as long as you don't kill anyone, everything will be easy to solve...

However, she just looked at the man's dark pupils without changing her face, then she smiled and said relaxedly:
"Well... I think I will be scolded anyway... why not be scolded with Commander Rabin, at least I can have a companion. And you are the smartest person I have ever met, how could you?" So confused'?"

Slade didn't seem impressed by her flattering remarks.There was still that palpable anger on her face, but Angie could feel that the temperature in the hall was gradually returning to normal.

After a long time, Slade's expression gradually calmed down.

"Even if you put on a hippie smile, it's no use."

She forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, and breathed a deep sigh of relief silently, then turned her gaze elsewhere, and said lightly:
"Wait for you to feel better."

Seeing that the other party's attitude had obviously softened, Anji couldn't help but quietly heaved a sigh of relief, and then glanced at Rabin, just in time to meet his sneaky gaze at her.

Well, it should be fine for now...

"Go down," said Slade suddenly, and waved his hand impatiently at Rabin. "Stop playing here, and waste my time. Rabin, you leave that church book." , I will be grounded for another week, and I will settle these accounts with you later."

Rabin quickly stood up, bowed, and cautiously walked forward, carefully handing the manuscript that had been in his arms for a long time to Slade, then quickly turned around and walked out of the hall.

Seeing this situation, Angie also wanted to take the opportunity to run away, but before she could speak, she saw Slade standing up, turned to look at her, and then said indifferently:
"Come with me. It's time to take off your head too."

Angie was slightly stunned. While wondering where the manuscript had gone, a thought flashed through his mind—could this man be thinking about this matter with his absent-minded appearance when he reported to Rabin earlier?

At this moment, a soft voice that had never been heard before came from not far away:

"Master Slade, let me do this matter."

Looking in the direction of the voice, Anji only saw the dignified "Miss Mercury" who remained still the whole time.

The lady had already turned her body towards Angie and Slade since some time ago, her metal face had ripples like water waves, and there seemed to be some eagerness hidden in her soft voice.

It was the first time Angie had seen her speak—if moving her mouth could count as "speaking."

"Need not."

Slade replied bluntly, then glanced at Angie again, and said impatiently:
"What else are you dawdling about?"

The other party's urging brought Anji back to his senses in an instant.She hurried forward, trying to keep up with the opponent's pace while maintaining a certain "safe distance" to avoid some embarrassing accidents-such as rear-end collisions or stampede accidents.

When the two of them reached the entrance of the hall, the butler who had been waiting for a long time came forward and said to Slade while saluting:
"Lord Slade, the room is ready. Miss Jasile is already waiting downstairs."

"understood."

Slade just replied briefly, and led Angie all the way down the stairs to the corridor on the next floor.

This silent and slightly urgent journey lasted only tens of seconds, and Angie saw the brown-haired girl standing at the other end of the corridor.

"Ah! Lord Slade! Angie! You are here~"

From a long distance away, Jessile was already waving hello to the two of them lively and enthusiastically.

But soon she found that Lord Slade didn't respond to her with a smile like he did in the past, but walked up to her expressionlessly before asking:
"Is everything ready?"

"Yeah, ready~" the girl replied happily, while slightly bowing her head, counting with her fingers, "Ample water, towels, clothes, and a lot of quilts and sheets... In other words, these things need to be used What are you here for?"

However, Slade didn't answer Jasile's question, but just opened the door with his hand, and said to her at the same time: "You wait at the door, don't come in without my order."

The somewhat abnormal behavior of the other party made Jessie a little puzzled.She glanced at Slade, who was obviously more serious than usual, and then at Angie, who had been silent behind Slade. She nodded obediently and responded a few times, then stepped back a few steps to make room for the two of them. road.

Angie followed Slade into the house, but couldn't help but glance back at Jasher.

She didn't follow in, but was standing at the door, looking around the room.

But as Jessile's eyes swept across the room, her expression became more and more confused. Even when she looked in the direction of Anji, her eyes didn't stop at all. They closed the door.
