Dong dong!
"They want me to participate in the highest decision-making meeting? Sigh ~ You can see that I have a lot of work to do. I really can't find the time. Just tell them that. "
Layle took a stack of papers and knocked on the table to align them. Then, she put them in a box at the side.
"Layle, don't say that. The president really hopes that you can go back."
Standing across the table was another woman in the highest decision-making meeting. She was the brain of the union, Nila. Although she was the highest decision-making meeting, she had no interest in the union's power.
"Sigh, Nila, I really hope that it's not you."
Layle sighed. Nila smiled bitterly. When she smiled, two dimples appeared on her face. But she wasn't cute. Because she stayed up late for a long time, her eyes didn't have the mysterious spirit, and she had bags under her eyes.
For this reason, Layle kept reminding her to rest.
"I also hope that you can come back. Without you, I feel a little lonely."
Nila sat down. She didn't seem like she was going to give up easily.
"If they really want me to come back, they should show the appropriate attitude instead of hiding and letting you come here to be scolded."
"Ah? This … Layle, you won't scold me, right? "
"To be honest, I really want to do that."
Nila lowered her head. Layle took a deep breath. She crossed her arms and leaned back on the creaking chair.
"How long has it been since you had a vacation?"
"Too long. I forgot."
"You should rest for a few days."
"Sigh, too much work. I also think that you should rest. Layle, tell me the truth. Why did you do those impulsive things?"
Their conversation gradually deviated from the main topic. The few people eavesdropping outside couldn't help it.
Bang bang.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"There are so many guests today. Come in if there's something urgent."
Layle sighed. Nila turned around and saw the door open. She saw President Maron appear behind the door with a smile.
"President!?"
"President, what a rare guest. Sorry, my small place can't fit three chairs. You can sit in my seat if you don't mind that the chair is too hard."
Layle stood up. This action made Nila nervous. She looked left and right at the two of them.
President Maron pretended not to understand what she meant. He only smiled and said, "No need, no need. I'll be leaving soon. I just want to say a few words."
Leila immediately sat back down and raised her head to look at the president.
The scene suddenly became a little awkward. Niela stood up with a dry smile and said weakly, "How about you sit here with me, President?"
"No, no, no. Have a seat. I just want to say a few words. Hey, Layel, I'm here to apologize to you. "
The Guild Leader leaned on his walking stick. Although he said that he was apologizing, Rayl could not see any remorse from the Guild Leader's expression. Instead, it seemed as if he had come here with a purpose in mind.
"Apologize? I don't think you've done anything wrong, so there's no need for you to apologize to me. "
"You don't have to say anymore. You've fought for a Hero for our Union. We didn't notice your good intentions. In fact, I hope you can forgive me. Furthermore, as the head of external affairs, you should know that we had our reasons for doing so."
The Guild Leader said earnestly to Rayl. However, Rayl frowned. She looked as if she really did not understand. Then, she said, "I … might not be as smart as you think. Can you tell me the specific reasons?"
"Uh, cough, cough. That, the relationship between the two countries. Think about it. If the Union thinks that what you did was right, then wouldn't we be openly declaring that we're going against the two countries? That would cause them to be hostile. "
"But, aren't they hostile towards us now? Mr. President. "
Rayl retorted.
The Guild Leader's eyes and nostrils suddenly enlarged. He did not expect Rayl to be like this! She was so lawless. She did not give him any face at all. Even An Mihu would not be so disrespectful!
His expression immediately softened. He said, "You're right. That's why we were wrong. We all think that someone as smart and capable as you should come back and lead the Union through this difficult time together."
"I see. For the sake of the Guild Leader, I'll consider it."
As soon as she said this, Niela and the Guild Leader immediately looked shocked. Maron had already said this, but she did not immediately agree.
"Alright, we look forward to your return, Rayl."
With that, the Guild Leader put on his hat and left the room. Two bodyguards closed the door for him.
Niela let out a long sigh of relief and weakly crawled on the table.
"That scared me to death. He even glared at me when he left."
Rayl did not say anything. She looked at the door, her eyes gradually darkening.
One day, I'll pull you down.
She said in her heart.
… …
In a bright and spacious room, there were golden decorations everywhere. The air was filled with an expensive fragrance.
Count Eibron sat in a chair with his legs crossed, looking confident. In front of him was a refined man. His name was Elijah, and he came from the Luas Empire. He was Wyatt Durriss's younger brother, and also the fourth prince.
According to tradition, he was not the first in line, but who knew what would happen in the future?
Eibron, a mere count of a small kingdom, was obviously very arrogant. He raised his head and looked at the man with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
"I didn't expect your country to send you as an investigator. Forgive me for being blunt, but it's a waste of your talent. You should do something bigger."
Eibron said.
Elijah did not seem to hear him, but he nodded silently, his eyes on the paper on the table.
"Well then, Count Eibron, I heard you used to be a merchant."
"I believe that being a merchant is not just a profession. It's an attitude, an attitude that pursues the next level. I've always thought of myself as a merchant," he said proudly.
He said very complacently, and even stretched out his hand to show off the dazzling ring.
Elijah maintained his polite smile and continued, "Well then, I would like to ask you a few questions about Klaus. I hope —"
"Ask away. I'll answer them properly."
Eibron interrupted. Elijah raised his eyes and looked at the Guild Leader with an indecipherable gaze.
"How did you meet Klaus the Brave?"
"I'm sure you'll find the answer on those papers, my dear Prince."
"But I'd like to hear it from you, Count Eibron."
Hilaire raised his head and said resolutely.
This guy is different from the others.
Eibron narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Of course. If you're willing to listen, I'd be more than happy to. We've known each other for a long time. When I was still a merchant, I happened to be doing business in the ancient city of Stone. As you know, all merchants have been to Stone, even if they haven't. That's why it's so charming … "
Elijah nodded from time to time as he listened to Eibron's long and boring speech. He was sure of one thing.
This Eibron was different from the others. He definitely knew Klaus' identity.
