"Honorable Master Lucien, thank you for your help!"
Orlando carefully stepped forward and respectfully saluted the armored man.
Although his heart was also filled with doubts, such as how did Lucien become Count Angele's subordinate? And why did this person still have a calm and indifferent look on his face even though there was a big bloody hole in his chest?
However, one thing was very clear — his life was saved by the person in front of him.
Moreover, Orlando, who had been forced to a dead end, had once again seen the hope of survival.
Perhaps, it could even go one step further …
Colin looked at Orlando through the eyes of the blood slave Lucien, and his heart was filled with emotions.
The chaos in Alfalfa City this time was indeed planned by Colin, but the development of the matter was beyond his expectations.
It had to be said that the subjective initiative of a person was a wonderful thing.
Every individual in the midst of chaos was struggling for their own interests, their own hatred, and their own fate.
Harry, Blue, Ron, Capone, Orlando …
In Colin's eyes, these people were originally small characters, chess pieces, but they might not be willing to follow the path that Colin had planned for them.
These were the variables.
This was also the reason why the more complicated the conspiracy, the harder it was to succeed.
A simple and crude method would rarely lead to unplanned situations.
However, to be "simple and crude", one must have the strength to break through the situation. This, at least in Alfalfa City, was something that Colin could not do at the moment.
Therefore, he had planned all of this.
Although there were many accidents, fortunately, the final result was still satisfactory.
Moreover, Colin had also received a pleasant surprise — Orlando.
This thief leader of Alfalfa City might be of low birth, or perhaps he had an unbearable past, or perhaps even his character was questionable, but this time, he really made Colin have a whole new level of respect for him.
Calmness in the face of a desperate situation, the wisdom to see through the puzzle, the courage to survive in the face of death, the courage to use himself as bait … If they were in each other's shoes, Colin knew that he might not be able to do better than him.
This was a talent.
If used properly, it might be able to help Colin secretly control Alfalfa City and even cause great trouble for the Eastern Region.
It was a pity that Orlando was not a Knight. Otherwise, Colin would have turned him into a Blood Descendant.
It would be too much of a waste to turn them into blood thralls …
"Sir Lucien …" Orlando looked at the silent armored man and could not help but feel a little uneasy. He reminded him, "Your injury …"
"It's just a minor injury. It's fine." Under Colin's control, Lucien waved his hands casually and touched the broken armor to cover the unsightly wound.
Orlando's lips twitched, but he did not dare to say anything. He changed the topic and said, "Master Lucien, may I pay a visit to Count Angele and express my gratitude in person?"
"The Count can't see you yet." Colin flatly refused.
Seeing the disappointment on Orlando's face, he continued, "However, the Earl knows about you and is very satisfied with you."
Orlando regained his hope and hurriedly said, "Thank you for your recognition, Count! Please tell the Earl that I am willing to swear allegiance to him! No matter what the Earl orders, I will do my best to accomplish it! "
"I will convey your sincerity to the Earl, but under the current circumstances, you cannot be exposed."
Orlando rolled his eyes and seemed to understand something. He immediately nodded and said, "Yes! What does the Earl have in mind for me? "
The armored man's deep eyes showed no joy or anger, and his tone was very stiff, "The Earl said that since you can guess his plan and break free from this puzzle, it means that you are a smart person.
Therefore, the Earl is willing to give you a chance to prove yourself.
Without Capone, the Alfalfa Brotherhood will need a new leader, and you have great hope for that position right now.
In a while, you will go to 87 Feren Street, where the Earl has left you a gift.
At the same time, this is the greatest help the Earl can give you.
As for whether you can control the underground forces of Alfalfa City, it will depend on your own ability. "
"Thank you for your trust, Count! I will not let him down! "Orlando said loudly.
He had already vaguely guessed what the "gift" Count Angele had left for him was.
Moreover, he also knew that it could be a gift, but it could also be a rope that would take his life.
However, Orlando did not hesitate to accept this gift.
This near-death experience made him understand a lot of things. A small character like him, who had no influence or strength, might have a smart brain, but it was impossible to survive in such a chaotic world with just this.
He had to have someone to rely on.
Moreover, Orlando was also very clear that he did not have the right to refuse.
Count Angele had sent people to save him, but he could also send people to destroy him.
Therefore, Orlando had to follow the script that Count Angele had set for him and give the drama of Alfalfa City a perfect ending.
Orlando raised his head and asked again, "Lord Lucien, I wonder if the count has a detailed plan?"
The armored man shook his head and said, "No, the rest is up to you."
"Yes!" Orlando was a little worried, but more than that, he was eager to give it a try.
The armored man saw the ambition of this small person, but he did not say anything more. Instead, he turned around and carried Capone, who had fainted on the ground and was on the verge of death, and disappeared into the dark night in a few flashes.
Orlando stared at the place where the armored man had disappeared for a long time, then turned around and went downstairs.
A group of loyal subordinates had already gathered downstairs, and after seeing Orlando, they immediately surrounded him.
They had received orders before that no matter what happened upstairs, they were not allowed to come up, so after hearing the sounds of fighting, they were burning with anxiety. It was not until now that they saw Orlando appear again safe and sound that they finally felt relieved.
"Boss, we found out that it was Musos who leaked your whereabouts to Capone."
Orlando nodded, as if he was not surprised by this news, and did not give any orders, as if this guy who leaked the secret was not worth his attention.
The subordinates looked at each other as they watched Orlando walk out without saying a word, and they had no choice but to quickly follow him.
Under the cover of the night, Orlando successfully arrived at the address that the armored man had told him, and then found the "gift" that Earl Angele had left for him in the abandoned warehouse.
Yes, it was the priceless bond!
Looking at this thing that had turned Alfalfa City upside down, Orlando could not help but sigh.
But soon, he put away these meaningless emotions, hid the bond close to his body, and walked out.
Outside the warehouse, the subordinates kept reporting that the leaders of the major forces in Alfalfa City wanted to see Orlando.
But Orlando snorted coldly and did not agree. Instead, he asked, "Did you find out the details of the messenger of the Eastern Region that I asked you to investigate?"
"Yes, the one who came to see Capone this time is Viscounts Fein of the Eastern Region."
"Where is he now?"
"In the cathedral in the Eastern City District."
Orlando nodded, took a deep breath, touched the place where the bond was hidden at his waist, and said,
"Well, let's go see this Viscounts of the Eastern Region!"
