Fairy’s Box

Chapter 499: Marta's Choice

"Please ask."

Aisha raised her head, looked at the black-haired knight who was approaching, released her daughter in her arms, and said calmly, "As long as I find the murderer who killed Charles and avenge him, I will do anything."

"I want to know the details of the murder of Charles, and what the murderer said or did before killing him?"

Yale didn't want to get involved in this muddy water, but he was going to take a civilian airship. If the case didn't progress, I'm afraid it would have to be delayed for a longer time.

"He called himself the Crocodile Man." She tried to recall the scene at the time: "He claimed that someone sent him something to Charles, and it seemed that he just raised his hand, and then Marta found that Charles's wrist was scratched."

"It's a flying knife!"

Marta turned around, her delicate face was full of hatred, she gritted her silver teeth and said, "He drew a flying knife from his sleeve and scratched Uncle Charles' wrist. I have long thought that person was very annoying, I didn't expect that guy to be a murderer."

"You didn't see his movements clearly." The black-haired knight glanced at Miss Tree Elf, and then turned his eyes to her daughter: "You see clearly, is that so?"

"That's right!" The tree elf girl nodded bitterly and added:

"Then he got into the crowd and disappeared all of a sudden."

"Marta's hunting skills are much better than mine." Aisha said with some inferiority.

"Have you heard of this crocodile man?" He turned his head to look at the guards who followed him all the way.

"heard about it!"

Several guards responded at the same time, looked at each other, and one of them stood up and said:

"This guy is a highly skilled professional killer. He once assassinated Gaul officials. He is good at using throwing knives and poisons. He has been wanted for twelve years, but he is still at large."

"It seems that a year ago he also shot a hand, killing the widow of a wealthy businessman." Another guard followed.

"Hitman…"

Yale read this combination word silently, but a sneer came out in his heart. He hadn't been caught for so many years, and he dared to kill many times.

"With so many criminal records, you still have unimpeded passage in the waiting hall. There must be a lot involved. I can't control this matter." Yale resolutely gave up his intervention and said almost explicitly.

His main task now is to raise money, and then train the legion to resist the impact of the Highland Kingdom. No matter how dissatisfied he is, he can only close his eyes to these ugly political struggles in the country.

After hearing the black-haired knight's words, Aisha immediately felt that the world was spinning, but as if the last trace of her anger had been taken away, she asked in an almost desperate tone:

"My lord! In the face of such a despicable crime, are you going to just stand by and watch?"

Looking at the crumbling tree elf lady that withered like a flower, there was a hint of sadness in the dark-haired knight's eyes: "My abilities are limited, as Governor Anderman introduced, it's just a temporary governor."

"So Uncle Charles died in vain?"

Marta rushed in front of him angrily, and shouted with fire-breathing eyes: "Even people like you let go, those executives will definitely be more vague."

"As things stand now, that's probably the case."

Yale stared into her eyes and said bluntly: "Anyway, Charles's death must have some purpose, perhaps it is a political need, or it may be a division of wealth. All in all, if you don't want to be affected, you should leave Gao Gao early. Lou."

"Impossible."

Elsa staggered back to the wall and murmured in a trance, "Charles gave us all his property, and Marta and I can't escape."

"Give it to you?"

The black-haired knight looked at the two daughters in surprise, and calmly analyzed: "The killer didn't kill you. It is obvious that killing you is meaningless. As long as you hand over this property, you should be fine."

"Hand over your property?" Aisha was startled, her eyes gradually regained her vigour, and she said hopefully, "Sir! As long as you can avenge Charles, I am willing to give you all his property."

"What do you take me for?"

A trace of anger appeared on Yale's face, subconsciously clenched his fists behind him, and said angrily, "I'm not interested in Charles' property, and I can't help you even if you are busy."

"But…"

Miss Tree Elf's expression suffocated, and then she became extremely pale, her arms clasped her body tightly, and said in a trembling voice, "I can't keep the property that Charles left to me, and I can't avenge Charles' revenge, why is this... "

"Mom! Don't worry about him!"

Marta quickly ran to her mother and said through gritted teeth, "Give me a moment, I will become strong, and then avenge Uncle Charles."

"Marta..." Elsa stroked her daughter's smooth hair, tears in her eyes: "I have only you now."

"Go to Celtic."

Yale couldn't help closing his eyes and said in a low voice: "Transfer the property that Charles left to you to Celtic, then as the highest local officer, I will protect you."

In the end, he was still soft-hearted.

"…"

Miss Tree Elf's eyes lit up with hope, and she looked at the black-haired knight without saying a word, as if she couldn't believe what he said.

After a long time, she lowered her eyes:

"What are we going to pay?"

"Taxes, and certain risks."

Aisha pursed her lips and held both hands in front of her chest. The knuckles of her fingers were bluish white because of the force, and she asked again:

"What can we get?"

"Peace, and everything Charles left you."

Miss Tree Elf was silent, her expression seemed a little moved, but more of a struggle. Before she could speak, Marta stood up first and asked coldly:

"What about Uncle Charles' hatred?"

"This matter has nothing to do with me." The black-haired knight looked at her calmly and said without the slightest warmth: "But there is hope in living, and if you inherit his property, you will have the power to find out the truth."

"I won't go." Marta shook her head slowly but firmly, stepping back to the wall step by step: "Having no strength is a sin, I will use my strength to avenge Uncle Charles."

"Ambitious."

Yale did not continue to talk to the tree elf girl, and turned to her mother:

"What about you, what do you think?"

"Sorry... I can't trust men other than Charles." Elsa lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye.

"It's your own choice."

The black-haired knight immediately turned and left, and said to the guard beside him, "Tell your superiors that I need to leave as soon as possible, otherwise there will inevitably be an unpleasant situation for him."

"Follow the order." The other party quickly ran out at the fastest speed.
