"To tell you the truth, I think I acted pretty well just now. Where did I reveal my flaws?" George asked humbly.
Lolo was silent for a moment. "You talk too much. For a poor guy who has just been deceived and abused, you're a little too enthusiastic. Your answers are flawless, but it feels like you're intentionally or unintentionally leading me to ask questions. Besides, although you tried your best to put on a frightened expression that befits your identity, there are many details of your body that can't be faked. Most people's pupils will dilate when they're frightened, and their heartbeat and breathing will involuntarily speed up. I didn't see any of these reactions on your body, but when you revealed those scars, I almost believed you. I've heard that some people with twisted minds like to harm themselves, but this is the first time I've seen it with my own eyes."
"It seems that you've grown a lot after more than a year." George praised, then shook his head. "The world's understanding of pain is too narrow. Like most people, I could only experience the joy of inflicting pain on others, but never the happiness of being inflicted. However, as time went by, the former brought less and less stimulation to me, until one day, I met a very powerful opponent and was badly injured. But when the opponent's spear pierced my lower abdomen, I couldn't help but shiver, and finally felt the long-lost joy again. That spear seemed to have opened the door to a new world for me, and I realized how limited I was before."
"You're the owner of the second room upstairs?" Lolo frowned. "Then who is the person you've been urging me to kill?"
"That guy is the real cook here." George smiled. "It's a pity that you didn't listen to me and kill him. Otherwise, when the truth is revealed, it'll be very interesting. What I've told you before is actually his story."
Lolo clenched the sword in her hand, and her eyes turned cold. "You're really a devil."
"It's not the first time I've heard that. Just take it as a compliment." George smiled brightly, not ashamed at all.
"Unfortunately, I've seen through your trick now. You have two choices now. Either hand over Granny Teresa, or wait to be cut in half by me." The girl said in a low voice.
However, George's reaction was somewhat unexpected to Lolo. The latter heard his words and asked curiously, "Granny Teresa, who is that guy? Your enemy? " The puzzled look on the young man's face did not seem to be fake, as if he had never heard of this name before. He asked the girl with interest, "So you sneaked here tonight to look for her?"
Then, the young man seemed to think of something and could not help but burst out laughing. "I see. I understand now. I've just praised that you've grown a lot, but it turns out that you've been used by someone without even realizing it. Although I don't know what relationship you have with Granny Teresa, her whereabouts must be very important to you. So, someone pretended that she was here and lured you to us. Hehe, interesting. Do you have any enemies in Gudilesi?"
The people from the Heresy Court could be described as perverts or lunatics, but there was no doubt that most of them were very smart. George only needed a few words from Lolo to restore most of the truth of the matter.
The girl fell into silence again when she heard that. After a while, she raised her head. "Do you think I'll believe you again?"
"You see, this is why I don't like to tell the truth. People are always unwilling to believe the reality they don't want to accept." George shrugged and then looked at the long sword in the girl's hand. "And you seem to have misunderstood something."
The young man grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth. "Have you heard of a fish called the red coral? This fish likes to hide in seaweed or behind rocks, disguising itself as a coral and luring nearby small fish to come closer. Then, before they can react, it will swallow them whole. But if you think that's all it can do, you're wrong. When the red coral is at its peak, it will also take the initiative to hunt. When that happens, even tiger sharks will have to make way for it."
George pointed to his nose. "And my code name is Red Coral."
Since entering this small courtyard, the rookie Brave had been on high alert. However, George's attack came without warning. Lolo was careful enough, but the moment the young man made his move, she found that she still underestimated the danger level of the other party. She could not even see the guy's movements clearly. She only felt half of her body go numb, and the sword in her hand had fallen to the ground with a clang.
A high-tier professional?! The girl's heart sank. This kind of terrifying speed could only be possessed by a high-tier professional. The young man in front of her didn't look much older than her, but he was already one of the top masters in the Dawn Continent. The godly temple was indeed the top force of the human race. But what puzzled Lolo was that she couldn't sense a trace of holy aura from the young man.
Logically speaking, the young man who was so powerful and so young should have been recruited into the paladin group long ago. But this wasn't the first time she encountered such a situation. She remembered that not long after her father passed away, an old paladin came to visit her. Judging from the bishop's attitude toward the old paladin, the latter obviously had a high status in the godly temple. However, there was no holy aura from him. Until now, Lolo could not forget the cold eyes of the old paladin as if he didn't care about anything in the world.
The girl's intuition told her that there seemed to be some kind of connection between George and the old paladin, but the thought only flashed in her mind for a moment. At this moment, she was in a very dangerous situation, and Lolo focused all her attention on the difficult situation in front of her.
The girl knew that she didn't have much time left. As soon as George made his move, Lolo clearly realized the huge gap in strength between the two of them. If they fought face to face, she wouldn't even have a 10% chance of winning. Regardless of whether Grandma Teresa was hiding here or not, she wouldn't have a chance tonight. So the girl didn't hesitate and immediately released the Invisibility Spell on the veil.
