Chapter 90: Calling a Thief to Catch a Thief
"Is that so, that's a pity. Thank you for accepting my invitation so late. I have other things to do, so I'm not going to send it to you."
After decades of swallowing his anger, Gilbert's qi cultivation skills have long reached its peak. Even though he was very angry because of what happened today, he had not yet reached the point of being overwhelmed by anger. Now that things are related to his core interests, he chose to reject Regis's conditions again without hesitation.
Seeing that he was rejected again and was issued an order to expel guests, Regis finally changed slightly, and his face became expressionless, his eyes were a little cold. He didn't say anything, but just looked at Gilbert deeply, then changed back to the previous smile and quickly left the room.
"At the critical moment, no one is reliable, damn it!"
When the servant told him that Regis had left the castle, Gilbert immediately punched the table in anger and said gritting his teeth.
What happened at the banquet today made him so angry.
Even if the Blizzard Legion successfully captured the core city of Snow City tonight, even if the Blizzard Legion annihilates the Second Legion of the King's Army, it is still difficult to make him happy at all.
Hodgson, who thought he was the most loyal guard, was actually the undercover agent who had been sent by his brother Gresham to him for more than ten years, and was loyal from beginning to end. When he thought that he had been rescued several times before he survived, he felt a sense of shame that he had been played with by his damn brother in his palm.
In fact, than being threatened by Barr's life, his anger came more from Hodgson's betrayal. Barr, the person who accidentally entered, was just a breakthrough for him to vent his anger.
I think if Hodgson hadn't accidentally eaten the snake fruit, he would have been unable to continue to act as his personal guard due to the side effects of the snake fruit, and could only keep his castle guard. He might have been killed by Hodgson before he started a rebellion.
Now, Gilbert feels very unsafe, feeling that the originally sturdy castle he owns is now a broken house with air leakage, and an undercover assassin from Gresham may be killed anytime and anywhere.
Hodgson has been in charge of the castle for three years, and Gilbert simply doesn't believe that Gresham has not left any backup plan here.
Maybe the castle is full of explosives and may detonate at any time.
Of course, Gilbert believes that this possibility is very small. After all, if it is to be detonated, Hodgson and others can do it before they die, and there is no need to wait until later.
But no matter what, the castle must be unsafe, and he cannot continue to live here before a comprehensive investigation was conducted.
"Who, who else, who else can help me?"
Gilbert said with a sad face holding his head with both hands.
As he thought about it, he finally took out a phone bug from the drawer that had been left for a long time.
He looked at a phone worm and thought for a long time. Then, Bar, a natural devil fruit abilities, suddenly appeared in his mind. Finally, he gritted his teeth, picked up the microphone on the phone worm, and whispered: "You guys forced me..."
At the same time, Regis, who returned to the base camp of the Regis Gang, was alone in a secret room. He said to a telephone worm that was communicating: "Failed, that old guy regarded evil medicine very important. The pressure of this accident was not great enough."
"I understand. Your next task is to investigate the transparent person. According to intelligence analysis, the transparent person comes from the West Sea and should have just arrived at the Great Road shortly, so there is a high probability that he will not be domineering."
The next moment, a nearly emotional voice came from the phone bug.
.........
An hour later, in Ram's camp, in Ram's room, a gust of wind and snow suddenly flew into the room from the open window, and then quickly gathered plasticity in the room, becoming a snowman who looked like Barr, and then became Barr, a flesh-and-blooded person.
"Chief, I'm here."
After Barr finished the elementalization, he immediately went over and closed the window, then bowed to Ram in front of him in a regular manner, and said respectfully.
"Come on, then sit down, don't be too restrictive."
Ram, who was smoking a cigar, saw this and smiled slightly, stretched out a hand, waved it down, and signaled Barr to sit down.
Since Ram gave him a seat, Barr did not refuse and quickly sat on a sofa in the room, still standing straight and straight.
"I'm asking you to come this time, because someone hopes to get your help."
When Barr sat down, Ram took a sip of cigarette and exhaled a long time, he explained to Barr the purpose of calling him over so late.
Then he turned his head and pointed it at a telephone bug on the table and said, "Mr. Gilbert, you can speak."
When Barr first came in, he had noticed the phone worm on the table that was talking. At this time, he heard Ram's words and his eyes quickly turned to the phone worm.
The next moment, the phone bug made a voice from Gilbert: "Hello, Mr. Barr, I am Gilbert, I want to make a deal with you."
"It turns out that he is the Lord of the City, and he is disrespectful, but I don't understand why Lord of the City is doing a transaction in this way? If it is a transaction, you can invite me into your castle to have a face-to-face discussion."
Barr heard Gilbert's voice, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face, and he was puzzled.
"This is a special situation, and I was forced to have no choice. Tonight I met an assassin, an assassin with stealth ability. He not only killed the great Tianlong people and sent me to protect my CP7 members, but also forced me to pay a lot of wealth. I am sure that this is a very greedy person and will never stop so simply. This damn guy will definitely try to continue to threaten me for the second time, so I need a strong man who can see the domineering spirit to protect my safety. I was originally going to find Mr. Ram or Mr. Reggie, but unfortunately they cannot help me for the time being. In the end, they recommended you to me and said that you also have the domineering spirit to see the domineering spirit. I really hope that Mr. Bar, you can help me, if you can help me..."
It is about people's desires, and it is about wealth and life. Gilbert had to show a friendly attitude at this time to talk to Barr, an alien untouchable whom he hated from the bottom of his heart, and simply explain the reason to Barr.
At the same time, Gilbert was very satisfied with Barr's attitude. In fact, this was his first conversation with Barr, a rookie from the Ram gang. He found that the other party was quite polite and used honorific words in the conversation, and did not think about the style of those rude gangsters at all.
Barr listened to Gilbert's explanation, and looked dazed on the surface, but he was already smiling in his heart.
From the current perspective, it is not difficult for him to see that Gilbert was defeated by Darth and Regis. He had no choice but to seek help from the Darth Gang. However, Darth and Reige are members of the Flying Pirates. How could he agree to be a bodyguard for Gilbert, a waste.
Finally, after several twists and turns, this task finally fell on him, who was also domineering in seeing and hearing.
