in the name of the queen

Chapter 70 My initiative is above yours

Wait for him to take action before shooting?
  Roland secretly complained, isn't that a bit late?

He didn't want to wait until Stanley made the first move before counterattacking.

Stanley thought he was smart and thought he wanted to hear the shocking secret, but in fact he didn't want to at all.

He just wants to deal with Stanley himself.

In Stanley's eyes, Roland is a greedy pretty boy, but he doesn't know that in Roland's eyes, he is a pig waiting to be slaughtered.

I just didn't want blood to splash on other people's faces, so I dragged him to the nearby woods and killed him.

In the duel just now, Wharton fell to the ground suddenly, and Roland could clearly sense that there was another mark on the knight's soul card.

Unlike the red mark obtained by killing Carl Vinson, the golden mark generated when Walton was knocked down by Sif.

Roland boldly speculated that Sif should have fought for him, so part of the reward belonged to him.

No one knows where the soul cards come from, but the extraordinary ones have also summed up many rules over the long years.

Career advancement in civilian jobs mainly relies on achievements in the field.

Promotion in combat-focused careers mainly depends on performance and strength.

Some cards can do both.

Sylph and Sophia are authoritative professions and are all-inclusive.

They can either choose to achieve amazing achievements in their field, or they can choose to move up by stepping on the corpses of their own kind.

After having dual careers, Roland also began to take the road of taking it all.

I just don’t know if Sif will gain anything from fighting for him.

Roland thought silently, hoping that he could eat two fish with one fish, otherwise it would be too unfair to Sif.

Keeping a certain distance from Stanley, Roland walked toward the woods.

As he approached the woods, Stanley sighed softly and smiled to himself.

"Captain Roland, there is no need to be so defensive. I am more like a businessman than a knight. In my opinion, there is nothing that cannot be traded, as long as the price is enough, what do you think?"

Roland said noncommittally: "Maybe, I'm a little curious about your quotation."

价钱?

What price can exceed the reward of defeating an extraordinary person of the same level with one's own hands?

If you can't come up with a higher offer, you can only thank them with your head.

Seeing that Roland was indifferent, Stanley took a deep breath and lowered his voice and said, "I know the shocking secret of the late emperor going to sea until something happened."

"what?!"

Roland was suddenly "shocked" and drew his gun directly.

"boom!"

Gunfire rang out.

American style Iai is easy to use. The gun is fast from seven steps away, and the gun is fast and accurate within seven steps.

The distance between Roland and Stanley was only a few meters.

There is no need to aim at this distance, just raise your hand.

Before Stanley could pull out the spare pistol hidden in his boot, Roland shot him in the right wrist.

He screamed and fell to the ground, clutching his wrist, and large beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

He looked at Roland in disbelief and murmured to himself, "How did you know that?"

Roland slowly returned the pistol to the holster, took out the throwing knife and held it in his hand.

"Be honest, this flying knife is poisonous."

Stanley's painful lips turned white, he was sweating profusely, his face was ashen, and he dared not move.

Roland came to Stanley carefully, ordered him to untie his belt and threw it over, then picked up the belt and tied his hands behind his back.

Roland searched him very carefully and thoroughly, and after taking away Stanley's sidearm, he couldn't help but mocked:

"You used the so-called shocking secret to shock me, and then pulled out the spare pistol hidden in my trousers at the moment of my astonishment. Your idea is very good."

"Unfortunately, your opponent is me."

Roland still had half a sentence left to say.

He had no intention of hearing Stanley's so-called secret from the beginning.

Big shocking secret, right?
  How could the deputy leader of a small knight order know the secret of the emperor’s death at sea?

Ninety-nine percent of it is a lie.

If he really knew, Roland would have a solution. The tiger bench, the chili pepper water branding iron, and other methods of torturing the body are all despicable methods. He will teach Stanley and Wharton a free lesson.

Prisoner's Dilemma.

Let them slowly grapple with the weaknesses of human nature.

In the face of carefully designed gaming methods, no matter how stubborn the prisoner is, his mentality will collapse.

Stanley's eyes were full of unwillingness, and he couldn't help but whisper:

"Roland, Wharton didn't know that I used the Stanley Chamber of Commerce to expand my business, but those assets were transferred by me. If you let me go, I'll give them all to you! I can swear!"

Roland looked at Stanley with a half-smile and sneered: "A criminal's oath?"

"I can swear to the gods with my soul!"

Stanley roared in a low voice: "Roland, the Queen will not blame you for this little thing. That is a huge wealth of more than 200,000 pounds! This money is all yours! It's all yours!"

Roland smiled and shook his head.

"Stanley, you have a family, and you are not a tough guy. Do you think I trust the torturer or you?"

Stanley's face was pale and he was trembling and unable to speak a word.

Roland was too lazy to talk nonsense, pointed his gun directly, and led Stanley back.

Stanley is indeed cunning.

As expected of a successful big businessman, he has one word after another.

From pretending to donate property to suddenly shouting the secret of the late emperor's accident, and then taking the opportunity to pull out hidden weapons to fight back.

He could have succeeded with any other person.

As long as he can kill Roland, he can escape Sussex through hidden connections.

As for family
  A good businessman has no family.

If your wife is gone, you can remarry, if your children are gone, you can have another child, if your money is gone, you can make more money, but if you are gone, it’s all over.

His idea was perfect, but he just didn't have much luck.

Roland is not a normal person.

He doesn't want money, he just wants to borrow Stanley's head to improve his record.

If Stanley knew that he had experience +1 in Roland's eyes, I wonder if he would regret it.

But there is no regret medicine in this world, and he can only face a bleak fate.

Just as Roland was cleaning up Stanley, Sif, who was looking forward to it at the training ground, was startled by the sudden gunfire.

Her eyelashes and red lips trembled uncontrollably.

But she quickly realized that Roland had a gun but Stanley did not.

It was definitely Stanley who jumped over the wall and was captured by Roland!

The result was pretty much what she expected, but the process was definitely not what she expected.

She didn't expect that it was not Stanley who made the first move, but Roland.

When Roland escorted Stanley to the training ground, the knights whispered and there was a commotion in the team.

Several golden knights were scared.

They were at a loss and could only pray that the pledge of allegiance would not be found.

Seeing that Roland had returned safely, Sif, who was frightened, rushed up to meet him, leaving her casual cloak in the breeze.

"Are you OK?"

"Are you injured?"

"How dare you sneak up on you, I will ask Her Majesty the Queen to sign an order to execute him!"

Facing Sif's series of concerned questions, Roland's heart warmed slightly and he said with a smile:

"I'm fine. Let's get down to business first."

Sif stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, took a few steps back, and looked at the old man from the Heraldry Academy with her peripheral vision.

Only the old man here knows her true identity.

She didn't want today's events to be recorded in a notebook.

However, the old guy just stood there, looking up at the sky.

I don’t know what’s so good about this gray and hazy sky.
