Chapter 586 - 594 Alchemy Test Stone
The matter itself was not complex, it was Deyo Marcel who wanted to use the opportunity of his son’s recent death to play the role of a deranged father, and then take the chance to get rid of Nicholas, but how exactly Deyo went about it remained unknown.
Yang Yi was eager to know the inside story, but unfortunately, as a bodyguard, he already knew too much. Now, if he asked what had happened, wouldn’t he just be asking for trouble?
Jethro’s mindset had changed as well.
He had originally thought Deyo had gone mad from his son’s death, but now it seemed he was not insane at all; he was very rational and calm. Therefore, Jethro, who had been disappointed and even resentful towards Deyo, was no longer disappointed or resentful. Despite being brought in as bait, Deyo hadn’t intended for him to die.
After clarifying these points, Jethro once again was filled with awe towards Deyo, or rather, he had renewed his loyalty.
Suddenly, Yang Yi said, "Why let Nicholas come alone? If you had let Nicholas bring many guards with him, maybe he would have come."
Yang Yi spoke with a tone of regret and incomprehension, while Jethro said indifferently, "Because we had to make Nicholas believe that Deyo just wanted him to come for his son’s revenge, that meant we had to make nearly harsh demands on Nicholas. If Deyo had told Nicholas he could come and bring as many people as he wanted, Nicholas would have known there was a trap set for him."
If Deyo wanted to get Nicholas to willingly come to his death, he had to make sure Nicholas came alone because their relationship had become a case of harboring a dangerous tiger, and they both were aware of it.
Nicholas wouldn’t come. Leaving the territory he’d managed for so many years, even with many guards, how could he compete against Deyo?
