Chapter 41 - 28: Lich Love Story Season 2 (2)
"Who are you people really? What do you actually want? This is the Gruglu family's estate! You..." Before Shelley could finish her sentence, a cloth was shoved into her mouth, and she was tied up and thrown into the center of the living room like the others.
The elderly Count Gruglu sat crookedly, tilting his head back, and coldly eyed the one-eyed man leading the group.
Step by step, the one-eyed man walked to Count Gruglu, personally removed the cloth from his mouth, then sat on a nearby chair with his arms folded, sneering at the count.
"Our investigation is thorough. Normally, after this time, no one else but these people here would enter or leave this house. You can only blame yourself for not mingling with your neighbors. It won't be until seven in the morning. At seven o'clock, the paperboy comes to deliver the newspapers, but he just drops them in the mailbox and leaves. The first person to enter this house will be the vegetable delivery person around seven-thirty. Until then, no one will discover anything wrong here. And now, it's precisely seven-thirty. So, we have twelve hours to have a good chat."
Shelley struggled and looked at her grandfather in terror.
Count Gruglu nodded at her from afar, signaling her to stay calm, then turned to face the one-eyed man again, lightly saying, "What do you want to talk about?"
His tone was as indifferent as if he was having a casual family conversation.
"Don't you want to ask who we are and why we're tying you up?"
"If you want to say it, you'll say it yourself. I don't need to ask. If you don't want to say it, asking won't help. But I speculate you're not here to kill me."
"How do you know?"
"Guess."
