Chapter 642 Who to Help?
It was still that very private room, Rodney and the others were sitting in the room doing their own things.
I walked in and said hello to them. Rodney and Harold bowed, while Eva and Jin Siqi were still lying down and thinking.
Pulling up a chair, I sat down, and Rodney asked me, "What's wrong with you coming here suddenly?"
"Hey, look what you said, can't you just come and hang out if you have nothing to do?"
"Of course I can," Rodney chuckled, "But, for now, I can only stay here for a while."
"It's nice to hang out here," I said, "At least I have tea to drink and a beautiful woman to accompany me~"
Jin Siqi raised her brows, glanced at me, and continued thinking with her head down.
Eva continued to stare at the ceiling, looking lost in thought.
"Hey" I asked Rodney, "When are you planning to leave here?"
"Let's wait a minute," Rodney sighed: "There are still a few days until the next voyage of the airship."
"Heh, I was wondering why you didn't leave. It turns out you were waiting for this. I thought you had some unfinished business."
"That's not true." Rodney shook his head: "All the things that need to be done have been done, and the things that need to be packed and taken away have been prepared. We are just waiting for the airship."
Harold asked me: "Xiaoyi, when do you plan to leave here?"
I shrugged my shoulders and said in an indifferent tone, "Anytime~"
"Any time?" Jin Siqi raised her eyes and said in an almost joking tone: "Do you think your family owns the airship? You can take it if you want?"
I spread my hands and said, "It's up to you whether you believe it or not."
Although Jin Siqi sneered at my words, Rodney was convinced. He stood up excitedly and said to me: "Xiao Yi, can I ask you something?"
"Say," I said, "but don't get too close to me. I'm only interested in women."
Rodney ignored my feelings at all, rushed over and said excitedly: "Xiao Yi, since you said you can leave at any time, can you take us out of here tonight under the night?"
"Okay." I pushed him away hard and said, "But why do we have to choose night and take advantage of the darkness?"
"Knowingly asking questions," Rodney sighed and said, "Isn't it because my father, eldest brother, and second brother are arresting me?"
"Hehe" I said with a sly smile: "You're right, I really asked knowingly, mainly because I wanted to see your discouraged look."
"Rogue!" Jin Siqi cursed in a low voice.
I shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Then what time do you plan to leave?"
"Seven o'clock," Rodney said: "Around seven o'clock, there are the least number of pedestrians on the streets of Airui City."
"Okay" I responded and walked out the door.
"What are you going to do?" Rodney asked.
"I need to talk to Achilles" I smiled.
"Are you going to betray us?" Jin Siqi exclaimed.
I sighed and said helplessly: "Please use your few remaining brain cells to think carefully. If I really have such a plan, can you still sit in this room safely now?"
Eva, who was lying on the bed, suddenly jumped up and said to me: "That, brother-in-law An Xiaoyi"
"Just call me brother. Don't imitate a bastard like Rodney. It's easy to learn bad things."
"Brother, can I go out with you?" Eva said timidly.
"Why do you want to go out with me?" I asked her.
"I just want to go out and get some air, I'm suffocated here."
Eva pouted, a little embarrassed.
"You'd better stay here." I curled my lips and said, "I'm going to see Achilles, and I might even enter the city lord's palace. If they recognize you, you Should I run away with you, or should I fight the guards of the City Lord's Mansion?"
"You can fight them." Eva's starry eyes lit up: "I remember you were really good when you helped us fight monsters on the twelfth floor."
"Do you still remember this?" I scratched my hair and said, "But it's a pity that even if you say so, I still can't take you there."
"Why?" Eva asked puzzled.
"Because it's too much trouble." I spread my hands and said, "And I hate trouble the most."
After leaving the teahouse, I walked around the streets, trying to see if I could meet Achilles, but I didn't see him in the streets and alleys, so I went straight to the city lord's palace to try my luck.
As soon as I arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, I met a troublesome guy who I really didn't want to meet. He was the second young master of Airui City, Carter Scott.
At this moment, Carter Scott and several of his friends were having a banquet in the garden of the City Lord's Mansion.
After we met, he looked at me with a proud look on his face and said, "Isn't this An Xiaoyi?"
There was a black line on my forehead. Although I really didn’t want to talk to him, after all, this was his territory, so I had to pretend to be enthusiastic and said: "Hey, isn't this the second young master!"
Scott seemed to be very satisfied with my attitude. He laughed, raised his eyes, and said to his friend: "Did you see that this is the overestimating adventurer who was completely abused by our great Lord Achilles? An Xiaoyi!"
Several of the friends whistled.
I was speechless and thought to myself: "You guys are awesome, try it and see if you can survive under Achilles."
Then, Scott turned to me, with a rude look on his face, and said, "What are you going to do in the City Lord's Mansion? Is it because you feel scared after seeing Lord Achilles's bravery and plan to take refuge here?"
"Of course not," I said, "I was just passing by and taking a stroll. No one stipulates that visiting the City Lord's Mansion is not allowed."
"I naturally have the final say on such things." Scott said with an arrogant look: "If I say yes, I will allow it. If I say no, then I won't allow it. You entered the city lord's palace with weapons because you planned to assassinate him." My father’s?”
"Are you sure you're not mentally retarded?" I frowned slightly and said, "If I really came to assassinate your father, would it be necessary for me to come in blatantly during the day?"
"Also, Second Young Master, don't forget one thing." I leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Your subordinate Xu Tengbo is not my opponent. Now that Achilles is not here, can you guarantee that Can your group of cunning friends protect you?"
"What are you going to do?" Scott said coldly.
"I don't want to do anything, but I just want to remind you to be polite to others." She said and straightened his collar.
I saw a drop of cold sweat running down his temples.
I smiled at him, shook my arms, and walked out the door with a nonchalant expression.
With the trouble of Carter Scott, it seems that my desire to see Achilles is probably impossible.
But it doesn’t matter if I meet him or not. I don’t have to meet Achilles. I just want to ask him who he will help if the descendants of the Carter family start killing each other.
