Agape asked unexpectedly: "You? Why are you here? This is..."
When he spoke, the black crow looked strange, breathing rapidly, and was already striding in his direction. As he walked, his right hand naturally pressed on his waist.
Tell nimbly hid behind Agape, as if out of shyness, he hid behind him.
"Look at how angry this gentleman is," Tell said curiously, the volume loud enough for Gerald to hear. "No one here has offended him! It does look like he is going to accuse someone!" "
What he said made sense, and Agape felt puzzled. Staring at Sherman Scott's face, Gerald's brain seemed to be burning in a fire, and he could barely maintain the surface calm. Big beads of sweat broke out on his forehead. If you could kill someone just by looking at him, I believe it. Sherman Scott had died hundreds of times on the spot!
But, does he really want to commit murder in front of Agape and tear off all his disguises?
Yes, that's right, everything disappears when a person dies. A dead person cannot speak, cannot open his mouth, and cannot make any defense for himself. After a person dies, even the will can be changed at will, and the person who fulfills his duties can also be bribed with various conditions. No matter how cunning a fox Sherman Scott is, with just a dagger and in the blink of an eye, he can beheaded and lose all opportunities to cause mischief.
But the problem lies here at the same time - with just one lip and a blink of an eye, Sherman Scott can also call out his name, his real name, the name he avoids like a snake.
Even if death is imminent, this fox will not give up the opportunity to torture him. All he had to do was smile, touch his upper and lower lips lightly, and blurt out "Gerald", and his life would fall apart, completely shattered, and there would never be a chance to rebuild again. Because the flaw left by Gerrard was so big that it pierced this layer of window paper. Agape only needed a little thought to figure out the connection between "Black Crow" and "Grard".
At that time, what should I do?
Reason finally overcame the furious murderous intent, and Gerald slowly lowered his right hand.
Although he repeatedly warned himself to calm down and think, how can a person remain calm when he is on the verge of destruction? People who have fallen into hell are clinging to that fragile spider thread in order to survive. Can that person not be afraid and trembling with fear? It can only be said that thanks to his superhuman ferocious will and forcibly suppressing his violently beating heart, Gerald was able to maintain a nonchalant appearance, preventing others from seeing his inner collapse.
"Teacher, do you know this vicious man?" Thiel - or Sherman Scott - spoke again. He was smiling and his eyes were full of innocence, but in a flash, he turned sad again. He leaned close to Agape's ear and said in a voice that seemed to be a whisper, but in fact everyone present could hear it. :
"I heard that this gentleman is from the Scott family, and they originally controlled the technology of spice cultivation. Looking at these peppers that are about to be harvested, maybe he is here to assert his power and attack us?"
Before Gerrard could speak, Sherman had easily completed two instigations. Seeing Agape's hesitant expression, Gerald's face turned pale and his voice was as low as a bell: "I don't assert my rights, but I see that you are a scoundrel, a little guy who is used to sowing discord. Man!"
"Me!" Sherman shouted. He looked aggrieved and shocked, and just turned a deaf ear to Agape, "What have I done? You are the judge, teacher, my guess is reasonable. And what about this lord? It was as if I had been right and he was so angry that he made such serious accusations against me!" "
The word "reasonable" has nothing to do with you!" Gerald said sternly. , "Shameless liar..."
"Okay!" Their quarrel quickly became so tense and full of smoke that Agape had to step forward to stop it, "Tel, please stop talking, he... He is an old acquaintance of mine, and I know he came here for other reasons; and you, my lord, your criticism of a stranger you have never met is too much!" He mentioned the term "old acquaintance
" While speaking, Sherman had a sly smile on his face. He stared at Gerald and said slowly and meaningfully: "Really! I can see that you and he are indeed an old acquaintance. '."
Gerald wanted to tear out his tongue right away and cut him into pieces.
"Go and take care of the pepper fields over there," Agape turned to Sherman and whispered, "Don't stay here for too long, things will be bad for you."
Sherman smiled slightly and glanced at Gerald's With a face that was about to eat someone, he leaned down again and whispered quietly in Agape's ear: "At this time, I can no longer ignore my conscience. I must tell you something..." "I see
you Dare!" Gerald shouted sternly, his momentum was like thunder. All the apprentices present were frightened to the point where their legs were weak. Only Sherman, who straightened up in surprise and looked panicked, defended. : "All I told the teacher was about pepper. What's bothering you? You're so irrational. I really don't dare to stay here any longer!" After saying that, he seemed to be afraid of being chased by a wild
beast behind him. He ran away in a hurry. It wasn't until he was out of sight that Sherman showed his mocking face. Although he was silent, he laughed so hard that his shoulders were shaking.
"You," Agape turned around and said sternly after telling all his apprentices to leave, "what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? You want to come here to get angry? You've never seen Tell before. I don’t know what he is like. Yes, I admit that he is a shy young man. He may sometimes think of things in a more complicated way out of his timid nature, but there is no need for you to scold him or slander his character. ! You don’t need to come to me to show off your good temper as a king’s minister, and I won’t let you do it!”
Gerald clearly felt what it meant to be speechless. He is really a mute and can't tell the story of his sufferings. He wants to spit it out now and tell Agape that that is not a good young man, Taylor. That is the incognito Sherman Scott. He is lurking behind you. The people around me are just to do harm to the plantation and to me. He is a poisonous snake and a cunning fox. If you believe him, then the real disaster is coming.
But how could he reveal Sherman's identity without exposing himself? He was completely passive, but the opponent had the upper hand. Sherman would not be without a backup plan. Gerald knew what his cousin was like. Among Scott people, Sherman was not particularly bloodthirsty or crazy. , however, he will always leave endless escape routes for his evil plans.
Gerald has every reason to believe that if he kills someone today, a document with detailed content and conclusive evidence proving that Black Crow is Gerald Scott will be delivered to Aga on time by early tomorrow morning. With Pei at hand, rumors about this matter will spread throughout the palace in an instant, and it will definitely be impossible to guard against it!
There is no doubt that Sherman Scott has firmly grasped his lifeline. If he can't find a way to break the situation, from now on, his life or death will all depend on Sherman Scott. And the mercy of Jean Scott behind him.
"...I also have reason to believe that he is a black-hearted bastard." Gerald lowered his voice bitterly, "So that you know, when I saw the familiar black hair and eyes, I thought it was the Scotts who came. Here, I want to hurt you. Please forgive my paranoia! You know, if something happens to you, it will be more uncomfortable for me than death. But what next? He was quivering with every word, thinking You have alienated me in your heart."
Agape frowned, he was also thinking.
"And this is my reverse scale, my restricted area!" Gerald said excitedly, his voice urgent and fast, "He should be lucky to have you here, otherwise I will definitely let him know what he will get by doing this. A miserable end!"
Agape sighed, and he said helplessly: "Are you too suspicious? The family background of each of these students has been reviewed by Bishop Juan. They are clean and absolutely innocent. Wrong. And you... I hope you are not blinded by jealousy, because now I am devoted to Pepper, and no one or thing can shake my feelings, no matter whether Taylor has black hair or black eyes, no matter Isn't he a...handsome and decent young man?"
That was fine. At this moment, in addition to anger and the desire to kill, the extra jealousy came belatedly and began to torment Gerald's mind.
Was Sherman Scott handsome? Yes, he could only admit this reluctantly. The Scotts are cruel, cunning, snobbish, and indulgent, but they all have good skins given to them by fate. They are both out-and-out madmen and out-and-out beauties. Apart from the wealth and power possessed by the Scotts, this was also a natural privilege. However, it was precisely because of the planning and rebellion of Sherman and others that Gerald lost this privilege.
"He, isn't he, I mean, can his appearance be used as food? Does his good looks protect him from my anger?" Gerald was incoherent, his eyes dizzy with anger, "He is just a , He is a villain, a..."
"Okay, forget it," Agape sighed again, "Look at you, you are starting to talk nonsense. I want to say, no matter what you come to see today For what reason, I should go back and rest as soon as possible, and don't let unnecessary disputes disturb you for too long. As for me, I have to continue working, please don't disturb me anymore." He simply issued an eviction
order , but Gerald still stubbornly lingers here, like a vicious dog with bared teeth and extremely protective of its food. Finally, Agape couldn't stand it anymore. He got completely angry and angrily told him to go away. Only then did Gerard reluctantly leave.
Before leaving, he did not forget to remind Agape again and again not to believe what that boy said. He was not a person who could be trusted and could not get too close.
It was night, and Gerald was still pacing around in his residence. His irritable circling posture almost made holes in the thick gold pile carpet under his feet.
He thought about one assassination plan after another, how he would concoct rumors in the palace to deal with Sherman's attack, how he would place his own people around Agape, and control all letters and news... and Before he could come up with a perfect plan, the attendant handed a message requesting an audience to his hand.
Sherman Scott.
Gerald’s sinister gaze could ignite everything in the world.
He still has the courage to ask to see me, he still has the courage...
"Bring him in!" He said decisively, stroking the handle of the dagger.
"Hello, cousin."
After a moment, Sherman Scott swaggered into his residence, "Long time no see, I think you are doing well!"
