Xiu shrugged, spread his hands and said, "But I think asking you to meet under such circumstances will only complicate things."

Mo Tan chuckled and raised his eyebrows: "For example?"

"If I could guess what you would do, I wouldn't have so many worries."

Xiu seemed to have no intention of continuing this topic, but said slowly: "So if you have anything you don't want Emmeline to hear, you can say it now."

"All right."

Mo Tan nodded and said expressionlessly: "Personally, I don't think Futaba is your 'friend'. In fact, the reason why you are willing to help me deal with her is just to cut off your feelings for her.

, my dear highness."

Xiu looked at Mo Tan in front of the screen in surprise. He was silent for a few seconds before shaking his head and smiling: "It seems I haven't hid anything from you."

"You hid it from me."

But Mo Tan also shook his head, and then grinned similarly: "If you hadn't agreed so happily to help me kill her."

The regent leaned lazily on the back of his chair, as if he didn't know how expensive this video communication was. He just chatted with Mo Tan calmly: "I can only say that I have a little good impression, not to mention

You said Futaba is an alien like you. Even if she is not, I don’t even want family ties, so how can I want love?”

"I really envy ordinary people like you who know what 'love' is."

Mo Tan smacked his lips and raised his eyebrows: "So? Have you successfully overcome that hurdle by helping me deal with her?"

"Haha, there is nothing difficult in the first place, it's just a little pretentious. I didn't expect you to be so sharp."

"Very good. In this case, even if I turn around and pick her up, it won't affect the deep brotherhood between the two of us that day, right?"

"The last person who was my brother has been dead for a long time."

"You think I'm afraid of this?"

"Well, in that case, my answer is naturally...it has no impact at all. In the final analysis, I just admire Futaba, and there are many people who deserve my appreciation."

"What if I have a football team with her?"

"If you don't need to give pocket money during the holidays, I have no objection at all."

"Very good, it seems that you are indeed an informal person."

"So...my friend, if I have satisfied your curiosity, let's talk business for a while."

Xiu picked up the goblet filled with golden liquid at his hand, took a sip of the drink, which was probably not low in pigment content, and said this briskly.

Mo Tan narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a while he smiled playfully: "Is that cup of [Alvin Snake Bile]? Your body doesn't seem to be in good shape?"

"Just nip it in the bud."

Xiu smiled casually, slowly brushed his slender index finger from the rim of the cup, and said leisurely: "Although there is no problem with my physical and mental condition, and I am even healthier than most people with the same physical fitness, but looking at the mainland

According to general history, it seems that more than 70% of high-quality leaders will die young due to one reason or another. As far as I know, this is also a common phenomenon in the history of your world."

Mo Tan absently raised his little finger and picked his nose, and said casually: "Oh, it seems that such a thing is indeed happening, so can I go?"

"I helped you deal with Futaba."

Xiu emphasized again and said seriously: "I also fully cooperated with your activities in the Free City. Because I cooperated with your pace, I slowed down the recruitment of the Fire Claw Territory. I was even there some time ago.

At your request, the Dantès family detained a batch of goods from a certain chamber of commerce. I, the majestic regent of the Violet Empire, actually wanted to personally interrogate a batch of junk that God knows belongs to that small chamber of commerce. Do you think this is reasonable?"

Mo Tan whistled and said with a smile: "We have a saying over there... to put a knife in each brother's side."

"I have heard."

Xiu, who has a lot of knowledge about people from other worlds, nodded slightly and said calmly: "So I did a lot of things for you without even asking the reason. This should be regarded as a 'difference', right?"

Mo Tan nodded vigorously: "Forget it."

"and you……"

"I don't regard you as a brother, so why should I stab you?"

"..."

After being silent for a while, Xiu couldn't help covering his mouth and started laughing. Then his laughter became more and more exaggerated, until he curled up on the chair and coughed violently for two minutes before raising his head out of breath and facing Mo.

Tan raised his thumb and said, "Okay, as expected of you, Tan Mo. It seems that I made a very right choice in not forcing you to help in the empire."

Mo Tan nodded in agreement and said seriously: "Yes, I think you will be proud of the choice you made at that time for the rest of your life."

"So, a while ago a spy disappeared in the eastern border of my Violet Empire."

"Hello……"

"It was an investigation team organized by the Thieves Guild, and its destination was somewhere in the Shadow Swamp."

"Wait a minute, kid..."

"I'm afraid there's something fishy about this."

"Is it none of my business!?"

"Anyway, you are idle when you are idle."

"Hey, okay, let's expand on it."
