"Then I'll take my leave." Brando put away the scroll, but he looked at the other party's current situation. Antitina's embarrassing situation and experience made him a little unbearable. He hesitated and asked:
"...Do you need any help?"
Antitina shook her head. "No, thank you," she held the door and whispered, "Thank you for bringing me the news about my father, sir." She coughed twice.
Brando couldn't help but think that this was really a confident and stubborn girl. He thought about it for a moment, and he actually didn't have much money himself. Even if he wanted to help others, he would probably have to wait until after the auction that the lame man contacted for him.
Thinking of this, he was about to say goodbye and leave, but suddenly there was the sound of messy footsteps on the stairs not far away.
Several people were startled and turned their heads in that direction at the same time. "There are quite a few people," Bottom put a hand under his cloak: "Seven, no, eight."
"Don't be nervous, this is Braggs." Brando stopped Bottom and stared in that direction. But as soon as he finished speaking, a burst of curses came from down the corridor:
"Damn it, I really don't want to come to this damn place. That girl is so stubborn, I think our trip this time is in vain."
"Shh, these noble ladies are like this. They look extremely arrogant on the surface. As long as you scare them, they will be like trembling animals. Whatever you ask them to do, she will have to hand over the things obediently."
"In my opinion, the Baron has agreed to deal with her anyway, and nothing will happen if we really deal with her. Isn't she just a down-and-out noble? If we don't show that damn girl some color, she won't know what we do."
"You know what the hell, can you believe what the nobles say? They are more talkative than the devils in the underground -"
A group of people argued and appeared at the corner of the corridor, and happened to meet Brando, Bottom and others - exactly eight people, everyone wearing brand new, light gray uniforms of the security cavalry. They obviously did not expect that
There will be people up there, and almost everyone has an unexpected look on their face.
Their eyes immediately fell on Antitina in the back, then returned to Brando and Bottom, and finally saw the cripple who was blocked at the back.
"It's you! Cripple, what are you doing here?" The leader frowned and asked.
Brando stopped the lame man, turned around and asked, "Who are they?"
"The gangster from the Hood District, I didn't expect that after not seeing each other for a few days, he turned into a bitch, and even wore such a piece of leather on his body." The lame man's eyes flashed, staring at the security cavalry uniform on the other person's body and replied. Look.
He didn't like to see these people when he got up.
"Hmph, a dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth." A man on the other side cursed.
But the leader stopped his companion. Brando's actions showed that he was the leader of the three. The man couldn't help but be a little confused for a moment. Although the cripple in Black Pepper Lane was not a great person,
, but he has always been a loner and is well-known in their circle. Today, he is mixed up with these two people of unknown origin. What does it mean?
Especially since they were still together with the daughter of the down-and-out nobleman, things became a little troublesome.
"How many are there?" He thought about it and decided to test it out first.
Brando glanced at him and ignored this guy.
He turned around and saw Antitina clinging to the doorframe with both hands, her joints turning white. The girl lowered her head. Although she did not speak, these subtle movements made the young man aware of the fear and panic in her heart.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Are they here to trouble you?"
Antitina nodded.
"what happened?"
"They said my father owed them money."
"Isn't your father a gambler? How come everyone is short of money?" The lame man who didn't know the truth muttered behind him, but he immediately faced the girl's eyes that were almost spitting out fire, and was startled.
, swallowed back the second half of the sentence subconsciously.
"Does your father owe them money?" Brando asked.
Antitina frowned and shook her head: "How could my father deal with people like them?"
Brando thought for a moment and then turned back: "Who are you?"
His words were smooth and forceful, and the person taking the lead saw that he spoke in an orderly manner. He was initially timid, and now he was even more timid. He thought that this young man must have something to rely on - although he couldn't see it.
Brando's face was hidden in the shadows, but he could tell the age of the other person based on his voice. He hesitated again and again, not daring to pursue Brando's rudeness in ignoring him just now. He thought about it again and again before forming his sentence.
He replied: "We are the security cavalry under Hader. I am Jon the Owl. These are my brothers. We are entrusted by Viscount Tester to collect the debt."
"Since when have the security cavalry been responsible for doing this?" Bottom crossed his arms and couldn't help but sneered coldly from behind.
The seven or eight people opposite were embarrassed for a moment. A few weeks ago, they were just ordinary people who had never seen much of the world. Now they were neither easy to get angry nor able to refute in front of the mysterious young man.
There was actually some difficulty in advancing or retreating.
The person in the lead just wanted to give himself a slap. He hesitated before opening his mouth, but he didn't expect that he was still caught in pain.
Fortunately, there is always one person who can't help but complain: "It is only natural to pay back debts."
Brando glanced at them and asked, "Who are you going to ask for debt collection?"
These 'security cavalry' fell silent again. They looked at each other, and finally the leader bravely replied: "That's the lady behind you, sir. Her name is Antitina. Her father owes Viscount Teste a debt."
A lot of money."
Brando scratched his ears. The name Test seemed a little familiar to him, but he couldn't remember it very well for a while. He thought that this kind of person must have a certain reputation in the 'Amber Sword', but he deviated from it.
The main line of the story - this kind of person is either an insignificant little character like Lord Jinguo, or he is hidden better.
He turned around and asked: "Who is Viscount Teste?"
"A young man similar to you, he is the deputy to the commander of the Blade Cavalry, Magsk. There are rumors outside that he is the illegitimate son of the Grand Duke." The lame man's face changed, and he reminded in a low voice: "Brando, we'd better
Don't conflict with these people here - they are Tester people, you can't afford to offend those big shots."
When the little old man said this, he couldn't help but wipe his sweat secretly. Fortunately, he didn't say anything too disrespectful just now, otherwise it would have really made him angry. But as soon as he came to his senses, the cunning old fox began to think about how to get out of this situation.
Got out of trouble.
But Brando heard something in his words and smiled slightly. "Cripple, it seems that you really want me to have a conflict with the Viscount Tester whom I have never met before?" he asked.
"No, no, I don't dare, I don't dare." The cripple 'Lorne' smiled awkwardly. He didn't expect that the other party would expose his little trick at a glance. But he might never have thought that Brando was basically
He is well aware of his little thoughts.
Brando glanced at Antitina again, only to find that the girl's face turned pale - she had obviously heard the cripple's words. Indeed, compared to her father, both Magsk and Grand Duke Golan-Elson were taller.
She is an unreachable person. If these people want to cause trouble for her, she may just close her eyes and wait for death.
But what Brando was thinking about was that McGask, the leader of the Silver Wings Cavalry, appeared to be an aristocrat with a serious military background, but in fact he was a lackey of the All-In-One Society. But Mr. Test, in
In the "Amber Sword", he is not well-known. The only famous thing is probably his identity as an illegitimate son. Only then did Brando realize why he was so insensitive to this person's name.
What’s just puzzling is that there is rarely an extermination between the Warnd nobles and the nobles - even if the royal family seizes power, it is often only behind the scenes. Tester will not be ignorant of Antitina’s situation, but he is so step-by-step
What’s the meaning of pressing hard?
Is there any grudge between our ancestors? It doesn’t seem like it.
Brando couldn't help but wonder if the guy was attracted to Antitina. This was not impossible. Nobles often played this trick. But this was a bit troublesome, let alone whether Antitina was willing.
, even Brando is not willing, the designer of the magic transmission device, the value of such a person is almost immeasurable - Brando will never let Antitina slip from his hands, at first he didn't want to
Expressing such a wish so urgently - firstly, it is to make the girl lower her guard, and secondly, it is just because the businessman's nature of bargaining is evil.
But now it looks like the plans are about to change.
He turned back and asked: "Does your father know Viscount Test?"
Antitina quickly shook her head. She was a very smart girl, and she immediately figured out the other party's possible intentions just like Brando. She had never seen the Viscount Teste, but judging from the other party's behavior, it seemed that
It was disgusting, so she subconsciously thought of relying on the nearest person she could rely on - she couldn't help but look at Brando, feeling a little uneasy.
But Brando did not disappoint her.
After hearing this, the young man immediately drew his sword. The shining silver elf sword made everyone on the opposite side feel a chill. Showing the weapon meant that the negotiation had broken down. However, the leader still wanted to save it, so he moisturized his hair.
With his voice, he was about to speak, hoping that the other party could consider the influence of Viscount Test, but before that Brando had already swung his sword——
A ripple passed by everyone with a 'whoosh', like an invisible wind. The wind pressure brought everyone's hair flying back. It was just a moment, and then a 'click' opened on the ceiling.
