Chapter 98: Besieged City_1
"I don’t understand what you’re saying?"
Yan Xing truly didn’t.
I just arrived in Nuta City less than a day ago and don’t even know which way the doors of the Temple face. You’re asking me to investigate the assassination of a Temple priest? Are you looking for a scapegoat?
The more Yan Xing thought about it, the more it seemed likely.
And the way Count Theodore looked at him only reinforced that feeling.
At that moment, Yan Xing realized he had indeed gotten a little carried away after successfully managing the Werewolf Clan Leader’s conference, thinking that the intelligence of everyone in this world was on par with that of a werewolf’s. Indeed, those who consider others fools are often the biggest fools of all. The performance he had put on in the Lord’s Mansion’s dining room may have been just as Count Theodore had said... A performance without the backing of real power is truly like that of a clown’s. The ancients say: Reflect on oneself three times a day. The wise say: Criticize and self-criticize. Lord Yan Xing says: Other worlds are not so easy to navigate.
"Knight Yan Xing, you needn’t be so tense. I bear you no ill will," Count Theodore said, a smile on his face. "I would like you to take charge of investigating the assassination case involving Priest Temple... Whether you find the assassin or not, there will only be benefits and no drawbacks for you and your domain."
Huh... What kind of logic is that? But since he put it that way, I might as well not run off just yet.
Yan Xing asked Count Theodore, "I still don’t understand."
After pondering for a moment, the old Count made up his mind and slowly revealed to Yan Xing the current dilemma Nuta City was facing.
