"Although there are many variables, they are generally within the plan, and one thing has been solved. The next step is to find out what happened when my mother went to the gathering of Her Royal Highness."
"If there is anything strange these days, going to Blackthorn Manor to attend the gathering of Her Royal Highness the Princess must be one of them."
"The second thing is the dinner party a few days later. My father is not a person who likes liveliness and socializing, and the same goes for my mother. Although my mother comes from a wealthy businessman family, she also has part of the royal blood and is considered half a royal family. Her status is not low. It is easy to
I won’t show my face.”
"What exactly is the reason?"
"What about asking them to hold that dinner party a few days later?"
Hodge's thoughts were constantly changing, analyzing various possibilities.
As he was thinking about it, he felt a warmth at the tip of his nose. He stretched out his hand and wiped it gently. The bright red blood dyed his palm red.
Huo Qi was stunned for a moment, and had only one reaction in his mind: Why did he suddenly have a nosebleed?
The next moment, Hodge felt like the world was spinning, his brain suddenly shut down, and he couldn't control himself. He fell head first and fell off the horse.
A dark figure suddenly appeared and hugged Hodge who fell.
…
After an unknown amount of time, Hodge suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.
The hollow patterned ceiling, exquisite crystal lamps, landscape paintings, and pale yellow sunflowers on the vase, everything seems to have never changed.
"Um?"
"I am back again?"
Hodge was at a loss for a while, feeling as if he had had a dream. No, it should be a double dream?
The kind that goes layer by layer.
At this moment, a gentle voice sounded in Hodge's ear.
"how do you feel?"
"Where else do you feel uncomfortable?"
Hearing this voice, Hodge quickly turned his head and looked.
The man with brown eyes, black hair, soft facial lines, and elegant and quiet temperament was sitting on the chair beside the bed, looking at Hotch quietly.
It was the owner of the entire fief, Hodge's father, the Marquis Bach.
"Father, you..." Hotch was overjoyed at first. He was about to say something, then paused, opened his mouth, and asked, "I...what's wrong with me?"
"On the way back, you suddenly fainted and had a lot of nosebleeds. I asked the doctor to check you. He said there was nothing wrong with you. It was just dizziness and coma caused by excessive energy consumption. You were too tired."
Marquis Bach explained a few words softly, picked up the glass on the table, opened the medicine package, took out a few pure white pills, handed them to Hodge, and said: "Here, take the medicine."
"Yeah, okay." Hodge took the glass and pills honestly, poured the pills into his mouth, took a sip of water, raised his head, and put the pills into his esophagus.
"You don't have anything to say?"
"Like why go to Hodge Village?"
"Why take down O'Neal?"
"In other words, how do you know there is something wrong with O'Neal?"
"Hmm... Also, who gave you that blood cup of yours?"
Marquis Bach took the glass, put it on the table, and asked casually.
"Um..." Hotch thought for a moment and asked, "Father, do you believe me?"
"I believe." Marquis Bach nodded slightly, his tone still gentle: "So I'm waiting for you to tell me yourself."
"If you think it's not the right time, you don't have to say anything yet."
"Tell me when you want to say something."
Listening to his father's gentle words, Huo Qi felt warm in his heart. He cherished the family ties after time travel and the care from his parents.
In his previous life, he was born in an orphanage. He worked hard alone and did everything by himself. He had no friends. He hated festivals the most, because whenever there was a festival, the lights outside were bright, smoke curled up from every house, and laughter was heard, but he could only
Staying alone in a rental house, silently watching boring short videos to relieve the sorrow in my heart.
Hodge also likes to read novels, and has read a lot of online novels. Whenever he sees the protagonist in the novel trying his best to return to Earth, he always has no resonance, because for him, there is nothing on Earth.
Nostalgia and going to work are just to survive.
But this time was different. When he came to this world, he experienced the warmth of family affection and felt the love of his parents for the first time.
Even if this love didn't belong to him, Hodge didn't care.
At this moment, he just wants to protect the people he cares about most, protect this family relationship, and protect his parents in this life.
This is what he cares about most right now.
Even if he tried his best, Hodge couldn't let others take them away again!
"Father, give me a little more time. When I investigate clearly, I will tell you everything." Hotch said softly.
"Well, okay." Marquis Bach nodded slightly, stretched out his hand, touched Hodge's head, and said, "Say it whenever you want. As long as I'm here, no one can hurt you."
"If you need any support, just tell me and I will allocate my resources to you."
"Yeah." Hotch hummed. Listening to his father's gentle voice, his eyes became moist unconsciously. He quickly turned away and resisted the urge to cry at this moment.
"Okay." Marquis Bach naturally noticed Hodge's little move, but he did not expose it. He just continued to speak gently: "There is something. What do you plan to do with Will?"
"Will? That beak doctor?" When the name "Will" was mentioned, Hotch immediately thought of the guy who used his own life to test the loyalty of Russell and Bessemer.
This guy, in Hodge's opinion, is simply a weirdo.
Cold, stiff, dull, and not smart at all.
A normal person would not say it even if he did it.
After all, who would take the initiative to say something like this?
However, this Will said it very directly.
Moreover, he said it without any disguise.
If he hadn't said it, Hotch could have thought he was just a little stupid, but if he had said it, it was intentional.
That would be a dereliction of duty if you do the following!
"Doctor Beak?" Regarding the nickname given by Hodge, Marquis Bach was also slightly stunned, and then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth and said: "Well, that's him."
"He neglected his duty, failed to protect me, and took advantage of my life to test the loyalty of Russell and Bessemer." Hodge calmed his expression and told the facts very objectively.
"Well, I know, he told me what happened." Marquis Bach snorted lightly and said, "Tell me, how can you vent your anger?"
"First of all, he neglected his duty and failed to protect me, which almost put my life in danger. He must be punished, whether it is salary deduction or caning, he must bear it."
Hodge made the first request first.
"Well, it's reasonable. He failed in his duty and he was punished." Marquis Bach agreed, "What else?"
"Secondly, he used my life to test the loyalty of Russell and Bessemer. I am very unhappy with this move, so I want to make him a servant for seven days for me to drive and work hard without complaint." Hodge proposed again.
a condition.
"Well, as a guard, the following crimes are worthy of death. Is seven days enough? Otherwise, how about I give him to you and let him be your servant and serve you forever?" Marquis Bach thought for a while,
suggested.
"No need for the time being. He is too rigid, not flexible enough, and can't speak. I'm afraid I will be pissed off if I take him with me." Hotch shook his head, his tone full of disdain for the bird-mouthed doctor Will.
of complaints.
"Compared with him, I still like Anna, Zoina and the others who are sensible and obedient."
"Well." Marquis Bach had no objection to his son's request at all: "Are there any other requests?"
"Finally, I want to know what is his sequence level? What is his origin? And what is the Juting Sect? What is that evil thing?"
Hodge looked at his father, the Marquis Bach, and made his final request.
