Chapter 941 Invitation
Chapter 941 Invitation
This guy...isn't he a fool?
The waiter was left speechless by the red-haired director's mysterious request. After taking a look at the empty seat opposite her, he felt uneasy and wanted to call the security guard to get the drunkard out.
But firstly, the red-haired director was too much of a drinker. She drank as much as four or five strong men by herself. She was a rare big client these days. Secondly, she was so breathtakingly beautiful that even when she was drunk, people couldn't take their eyes off her. It was hard for him to bear to say anything harsh to her.
Finally, the waiter had no choice but to go back and bring a tray of cups to the opposite side. He poured the wine one by one according to her request, and then hurried back to the bar, looking over here vigilantly, ready to come over and deal with the situation at any time.
After all the wine glasses were placed, the tall, thin, and bitter-faced middle-aged man looked at the row of large wine glasses in front of him and said unhappily:
"Olivia, have you forgotten? I never drink, you..."
"I know."
Reaching out for a cup of amber honey wine, he drank it all in one gulp. The red-haired director, whose eyes were already a little hazy, smiled and said:
"I wanted to drink this myself, but I had been here for more than six hours before you came. I drank too much, and they didn't dare to sell me new wine, so they used you as an excuse."
"..."
"Why aren't you talking? If you want to drink too... then I'll save one for you?"
"no need……"
Looking at the red-haired director who was drinking voraciously and soon finished all the wine, the middle-aged man couldn't help but frown and question:
"You weren't like this before. When did you become addicted to alcohol?"
Ok?
After hearing the middle-aged man's words, the red-haired director's drunken eyes couldn't help but slightly steadied, and then he looked over with a twinkling gaze. After seeing her sudden change in expression, the middle-aged man knew that he had said something wrong, and couldn't help but sighed with a little annoyance.
"You are still as smart as before. I can't make any mistakes in front of you..."
"It's okay~"
After responding casually, the red-haired director asked with a smile:
"Since you don't know about my recent situation, then... have you been trapped in a place with little contact with the real world for the past few years, and were only released recently?"
"..."
"You are from the King-Slaying Society, right? Are you colluding with them?"
"..."
"What did you promise them? To eliminate the royal family of the Kingdom of West Karawen and weaken the effectiveness of the Watchtower Palace to the point where the true god can descend? What did they promise you? To help you take revenge on the Cleanup Bureau? To take revenge on the Kingdom of West Karawen? Or... to rebuild the Kingdom of East Karawen?"
"..."
"None of them? Do you have other plans? When I was shopping these days, I saw many people from the Lumin Church on the streets of Lily City. Are you planning to use the baptismal pool of the Lumin Church to repeat what happened back then..."
"All right!"
Faced with the red-haired director's pressing questions, the tall and thin middle-aged man couldn't help but stop her in a slightly embarrassed manner, and then said with anger in his eyes:
"Olivia! I'm here to question you! Not to give you information!"
"I didn't seek any information." The red-haired director stepped back upon hearing this, leaning back in his chair and said slowly:
"You let it slip. I just asked you everything that was on my mind at that moment. It's up to you whether you answer or not. If you don't want to leak the information, why don't you just keep it to yourself?"
"..."
I can choose not to say anything, but so much information can be revealed by just one sentence. Does it make a big difference whether I speak or not?
"Forget it, guess whatever you want..."
After somewhat powerlessly ending the topic, the middle-aged man looked at his old friend who was much more mature than before, but still so smart and cunning. He couldn't help but sigh deeply, and then said with resentment in his eyes:
"Olivia, if you had not chosen to betray me, but had stayed with me..."
"Then we will only make greater and deeper mistakes."
After interrupting the middle-aged man, the red-haired director played with the wine glass in his hand and said with a somewhat gloomy expression:
"Since I accepted the mission to use the Thirteen Ant Nests, I have regretted it almost every day... What I regret is not that I used the Thirteen Ant Nests, but that I didn't find out what you were preparing earlier, which led to the situation where I had to use that thing! You..."
"What do you know?!"
As if angered by the red-haired director's words, the middle-aged man suddenly stood up from his chair, and shouted angrily with his dark eyes:
"Do you know how much resistance I face? Everyone knows that I am right, but they just want to drag me, pull me, press me, and hold me down like barnacles on the back of a turtle!
In this situation, what else can I do besides taking a chance? You betrayed your original belief and chose to bow to those old stinking things, but I never did that! You..."
"Okay, stop talking about this."
After waving his hand to signal him to stop, the red-haired director, who was the first to calm down, sighed quietly:
"I just want to have a few drinks today, I don't want to quarrel with you... You have been like this since you were a child, your body always moves faster than your brain, you never consider the consequences when doing things, and your brain is as hard as a rock, once you make up your mind, you will never change..."
"I don't have a brain, but don't you?"
Hearing the red-haired director mention the past, the middle-aged man's expression softened a little, and then he said:
"Do you still remember the proverb? Justice and courage are brothers. True courage must come from the persistence of justice and the courage to practice beliefs..."
"Justice will not be an empty word."
After saying the last sentence of the proverb, the red-haired director raised his glass and took a sip of honey wine, his expression somewhat gloomy as he said:
"Just say whatever you want to say. Beating around the bush doesn't suit you."
"What I mean is... the relationship between you and me is like the ancestors of the East Karawen Kingdom and the West Karawen Kingdom. We are the most suitable and best 'brothers'."
After pushing away the empty wine glass in front of him with some disdain, the middle-aged man stared at the red-haired director opposite him who lowered his head and remained silent, and said sincerely:
"Olivia, just like before, come and help me!"
"..."
The middle-aged man shook off the angry expression on his face when he scolded the red-haired director as a traitor and said seriously:
"I have fists and strength, you have brains and luck, we are the best and most suitable partners! As long as we join hands, the Cleansing Bureau and the King Killing Society will not be our opponents! Then we will have the power to change everything!"
