Following Lin Cheng out of the villa, Mr. Luka's expression was a little strange, a little helpless, and at the same time a little happy.
He is helpless because he already understands that he has no way out. Whether he lives or dies depends on his fate. Once there is a problem in the negotiation, he doesn't even have a chance to struggle. The other party can easily kill him with one finger.
Stab to death!
I am glad because what the other party just said is very clear. He is here just for the fire crystal and those mysterious materials. To put it simply, the other party is just here to seek money. He should not kill him easily unless it is absolutely necessary.
But no matter what, even if he is still alive after tonight, this manor that he has painstakingly managed for decades will be in decline. Without the assistance of fire crystals and mysterious materials, he will no longer be able to cultivate something like this in a short period of time.
The four hyena-like bodyguards before can no longer create invulnerable armor. Coupled with Mikhail's sudden defection and the sudden death of hundreds of ability users, the current Sass Manor can be said to be invincible from the inside out.
It is already on the verge of collapse and may be divided up by the ability users in the city who learn the news at any time.
"Why..."
Thinking of this, Mr. Luka couldn't help but sigh deeply. Coupled with his desolate expression and messy hair, his whole person looked like he was suffering from the sadness of a hero in his twilight years.
"rustle..."
While he was secretly sad, Luka suddenly heard footsteps coming from ahead. He looked up and saw Katerina walking towards them, glaring at him with hatred in her eyes as she walked.
His anger seemed to tear him into pieces, making him look confused.
"Why is this woman... here?"
After thinking about it, he couldn't think of anything he had done to make his wife hate him so much. Master Luka frowned, recalling what he had done to her recently, and sorting out his thoughts.
Those messy thoughts.
But one thing he did want to understand was that the reason why Lin Cheng could easily find his residence in this huge manor was probably due to his nominal wife!
And this was what puzzled him the most, because he recalled carefully just now that although the relationship between the two was weak, he had never done anything too extreme when he asked himself. Even if there was no emotion between the two, there was always something.
Friendship, right? But why did this woman reveal her secret residence to outsiders so easily, and even brought the other person to her personally?
Lin Cheng naturally saw the anger on Katerina's face. He was worried that this woman would impulsively go up and stab Mr. Luka twice and ruin his career. He quickly stepped in front of Mr. Luka, shook his head and said to her
: "What I guessed before was correct. It was not Luca who arranged for Maxim to follow you, but him!"
As he said that, he picked up Mikhail, who looked slumped, and handed it to Katerina, gesturing for her to take a closer look.
"M...Butler Mikhail?!"
Since the old housekeeper had been tortured by Lin Cheng, he was almost gone now. Katerina stared at him carefully for a long time, and then finally recognized the other person's identity, and she couldn't help but exclaimed
come out!
"Ahem..."
As if he heard Katerina's exclamation, Mikhail, who was already unconscious, suddenly moved and raised his head with difficulty to glance at the other party. Then, he saw that the old man was stunned for a second.
Then he slowly lowered his head again, refusing to raise his head no matter how much Katerina called him.
"This old man..."
Looking at the old butler's weird behavior, Lin Cheng couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. The other party's series of actions had indirectly explained the problem, and Katerina did not continue to call him at this time, staring blankly at the ground.
Know what's going on in your mind.
After Katerina and Mikhail made such a fuss, Mr. Luka finally came to his senses, and his expression when he looked at Katerina suddenly became extremely strange!
It never occurred to him that this woman who met him almost every day would quietly raise a pretty boy under his nose, and this pretty boy was actually an undercover agent placed by Mikhail, a traitorous man.
The most important thing is that from what Lin Cheng said just now, he finally understood that the reason why Katerina was so hostile to him just now was probably because the undercover agent had exposed his identity not long ago, and because of some misunderstanding, she had
This undercover agent was mistakenly sent by him, so he hated him so much. The result of this series of misunderstandings was that he was sold out by Katerina, and Mikhail, the real
The culprit was just planning to catch the cicada and the oriole behind, but he was packed up by Lin Cheng, the dragon crossing the river...
"What the hell...what the hell is going on!!!"
After thoroughly understanding the ins and outs of the whole matter, Mr. Luka felt like crying for a while. Except for Lin Cheng, an outsider who was planning to come to him in the first place, the rest, whether they were his former bedfellows, still followed him.
The old housekeepers of more than ten years, and even those capable people who had clearly left the banquet but suddenly appeared in his villa, all of these people were eyeing him with covetous eyes, even if there were some misunderstandings, but they still couldn't.
It proved one thing, except for the four loyal hyenas, there was no one trustworthy around him!
This bone-chilling reality really hit him hard. His current situation can no longer be described as internal and external troubles. Now he is completely like a little white rabbit who has a huge treasure but fell into the herd of beasts.
As soon as you step out, you can swallow all the dregs from him!
"...Why!"
Seeing the desperate look on Mr. Luka's face, Lin Cheng couldn't bear it. Strictly speaking, this old man had never done anything outrageous. Even under his leadership, Baikal City's
The survivors have also collectively 'escaped poverty and become rich'; compared to survivors in other cities, the survivors in this city are much luckier.
It's just that the man is not guilty of the crime. Mr. Luka, who owns the entire Baikal city, is destined to be stared at by too many pairs of eyes. These greedy eyes are always paying attention to his every move. Fortunately, there are no flaws.
Once he accidentally exposes a flaw, those who are staring at him will swarm in like sharks that smell the fishy smell, and can devour him in the blink of an eye!
Therefore, it was not accidental but inevitable that Mr. Luka ended up in this situation. It was just because Lin Cheng joined in midway that the process sped up a lot, but the final result is still the same. (To be continued)
