Ellie stared at Peter coldly. At this moment, she had already thrown the matter of her being poisoned to the back of her mind. Regardless of whether she was a traitor or not, she wanted to know the reason behind Peter's actions. "Why me?"
Everyone present was silent. In the huge villa, it was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard clearly. Everyone was looking forward to Pete's answer. This time, he had betrayed and abandoned Ellie. Next time, it could be any one of them. This was the reality. Everyone knew that, so everyone wanted to hear Peter's opinion.
Peter was also very clear that at this moment, he had to be careful with his words. He was not facing Ellie alone, but everyone. This was a very serious problem. It meant his position, his appeal, and his influence. And his control over everyone in the future. If he could not convince the masses, any leader would be bullshit.
Peter had led the Twelve Heavenly Stars for so many years, so he naturally understood this simple logic. "Ellie, there are some things that I might not be able to explain to you clearly in such a short period of time. But please believe me, I have absolutely no intention of abandoning you. Come with me. "
"Isn't it better to say some things in front of everyone?" Sagittarius, who had always been quiet, could not help but speak up. This was something that no one else could say. Sagittarius, who had always been quiet, seemed to be born to speak such words. Whenever he encountered something that no one else could say, he would always be able to say it.
Aries Peter frowned. This was a bit tricky. "Looks like everyone wants to hear it … Alright, Ellie, since you want to know, I will tell you. Because you are the only suitable candidate among all of us. You are the only one who will follow your own wishes and not the team! If it weren't for you, I would not have made such a decision. Because every one of them will put the team first, but you won't! That's why I want you to be my chess piece! "
Peter had completely abandoned Ellie, so he did not need to care about Ellie's inner thoughts. He cared about the others. He could not let them have a rebellious attitude towards him.
Ellie sneered. "You're interesting now, aren't you? Even to our own people, you won't tell the truth. Instead, you scheme and use us … Hmph! "
"Ellie, I want to apologize to you for what I did to you before. Welcome back. Let bygones be bygones. " Peter said, "Now that we have the initiative, what else is more worth celebrating than this, don't you think?"
"It's indeed worth celebrating. But I think it's even more worth celebrating that I came back alive." Alice asked, "Peter, what do you think?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Your safe return is even more worthy of celebration." Lion Star said excitedly, "Not only did we get rid of the Wei guy today, but we also found Ellie. We also have that little girl in our hands. We have the upper hand now. Everything is in our hands now! Tonight, let's celebrate our victory. "
Alice said coldly, "Where is that little girl? I want to see who she is."
"He's just a child. There's no need to look at him." Peter smiled. "We've already dealt with it very well. Let's listen to Gary's suggestion and find a place to party. Our victory won't be in vain. "
Ellie insisted. "No, I have to see that little girl. I want to see what kind of child she is to make them care so much. They almost killed me when they found out that the child was taken away by you! Do you know? You didn't do it yourself. Of course, you can't understand how I feel! I have to see that child. "
"Ellie!" Peter was a little angry. "I'll say it again. We've already settled that child. It's better if you don't see her … "
"Yes, Ellie. The fewer people who know about this, the better. Even we don't know where the child is. "Gary explained." Ellie, don't be so insistent. Some things can only be done with it. "
"Peter, what are you suspecting me of?" Ellie sneered. "Don't tell me you won't believe an abandoned chess piece like me even if I come back?"
Aries frowned. What Ellie said was true. He really didn't believe it. First, how could Ellie know where they were hiding? Second, Ellie appeared at the right time. They had just finished off Wei Yishan and Ellie suddenly found them.
Unless Ellie had followed Wei Yishan to find them … Otherwise, how could she have found this place? He didn't say this because he wanted to leave a little face for Ellie. Because it was the truth.
But now, Ellie even asked him why he suspected her. How could Peter bear it?
"Ellie, do you really want me to expose my suspicion of you in front of everyone?" Aries said. "How did you find this place? I've already cut off your contact with anyone. Unless you followed Wei Yishan tonight, it's impossible for you to follow us and find this place! Moreover, you want to see that child when you come back … This is really not your character. Ellie, your reaction now is too different from before. I really can't help but suspect you. "
"Peter … If that's the case, I've already marked the death sentence in your heart …" Ellie said coldly. "I didn't expect that you would suspect me after I spent so much effort to come back …"
Peter didn't soften his heart. "You just need to tell me how you found this place. If your reason can convince me, I'll believe you."
"Forget it. There's nothing to say. Since you already suspect me, no matter what I say, you'll feel suspicious. "Ellie said." It seems that I shouldn't have come back! "
"It's not easy for her to come back. Peter, don't be like this." Tian Shu Xing said lightly. "You can't let Ellie go back because of this. If you do, I'm afraid Officer Douglas will blame you. "
"Blame or blame, I won't keep a bomb by my side." Peter said, "Ellie, give me a reason … otherwise, don't blame me."
Ellie's killing intent rose. "Are you forcing me to die? I just want to come back and complete the mission with everyone! Why don't you believe me? Do you think I have to die just because I was abandoned by you? Can't I have the right to save myself?! Peter, you're too selfish … I have the right to know where the child is. All of us have the right to know! Although you're the chief commander, our relationship is to supervise each other! "
Peter finally lost his patience. "Ellie, you're too impatient … Even though I don't know why you're working with them, you're so desperate to find that little girl. I have no choice but to do something I don't want to do to you."
"If you dare to do it, I'll accompany you to the end!!" Ellie was ready to risk everything to survive.
"You don't have to do it just because of this, right?" Leo stood out to smooth things over. "Ellie, it's no big deal that you don't know where the child is. Peter, even if you tell her where the child is, what can she do? We've been through so many things together. How can Ellie betray us?! You're thinking too much. "
Under Gary's mediation, the anger of the two gradually subsided. Peter finally gave in. "I've locked the child in the storage room on the top floor. Ellie, don't let me down. "
"Humph!" Ellie sneered. "I just want to see if you're sincere enough to accept me! I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. Do you still have my room? "
