[Ancient Rome] How to Divorce the Tyrant Nero

"Did you have a showdown with Nero? Did you really have a showdown with Nero?" Scylla, who learned that Otto's family was poisoned, had not had time to celebrate with Octavia about the olive oil market they were about to get. As well as the prototype of the bank that was being prepared, Octavia directly gave her a big shot, scaring Scylla almost spilled the wine in his hand, and confirmed with Octavia again and again: "Are you crazy? ?”

"Then do you think I'm crazy?" Octavia sighed and said with a splitting headache, "Of course I can't explain everything to Nero, otherwise I won't see the rising sun today. "

Thinking of what happened last night, Octavia touched her neck subconsciously, as if Nero's touch still remained on it: "Nero suspects that I killed the Otto family, but he has no definite evidence."

"Do you think evidence is important to Nero?" After all, Scylla has been immersed in the dignitaries for many years, so he quickly caught Octavia's verbal loophole: "For Nero, as long as If there is a suspicion, it means that you were the murderer who killed Otto. It’s just that he doesn’t want to do anything to you now, or that you are temporarily more important than Otto.”

"Yes, it's only temporarily more important than Otto." Octavia agreed with Scylla's words, so the voice changed: "How long will it take for Otto's property to be liquidated? In addition, let Titus and the others speed up the bill." The speed of approval must ensure that Lord Garba can deposit a considerable amount of military pay in the bank before leaving Rome."

"Military pay?" Scylla was surprised: "When did you persuade Mr. Garba to deposit the military pay in your bank?"

"Do you think I'm the only beneficiary of this bill?" Octavia said as a matter of course: "Master Galba is full of anger at those moths in the Senate, so he won't deposit money in In the temple."

"But in this way, you have to find a way to step up the secrecy work of the bank." Scylla said seriously: "There will definitely be people who want to touch the bank deposit. If you can't guarantee the safety of the deposit, you will end up with the former priest. The same end as a group."

"So, if the money is hidden in a certain place, it will continue to depreciate." Octavia didn't seem to worry about her bank security at all, and said calmly as always: "You help me and Aventing The people from Shanshan urged them to discuss the transfer of shares in the olive oil market and ask them to discuss it with the Salvius family. It is best to complete the transfer of shares as soon as possible, and then I can continue to negotiate with the Flavius ​​family.”

"That's not a problem." Scylla has been in the red-light district for so many years, and naturally there are black|white ways: "But people in Aventine Hill never do work for nothing, you have to be ready to pay."

"If they can negotiate the handover of shares within three days, then 70.00% of the profits from the olive oil I took over from the Salvius family will belong to the old and the young in Mount Aventine." Octavia never cared It is not the profit of olive oil, but how much voice this extra share can give her.

Besides, those Aventine Hill bosses are not suitable for business, they prefer to take money directly.

"Then there is nothing to argue about." Scylla reassured: "Don't worry, sometimes the low-level people who are gangsters are often more honest than you."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Octavia tried her best to focus on the bank affairs she had prepared for a long time.

At this moment, Elius entered the room with a gloomy face, and reported to Octavia: "Your Highness, Lady Messalina is here."

........................

……

Messalina, who hadn’t seen her for a few months, had aged quite a bit. Even she, who always loved beauty, didn’t bother to take care of her makeup. The first thing she did after entering the room was to slap Octavia directly, and then stared at her daughter. eyes, hoarsely said: "Did you kill Caius Sirius?"

Octavia touched her mouth with her tongue, and tasted a bit of blood.

Scylla on the side had never seen Messalina show such a fight, so he tried to smooth things over and said: "Messalina, why don't you sit down and have a drink first, and then have a good chat with Octavia .”

"It's none of your business if I talk to my daughter?" The angry Messalina didn't give Skolla any face at all, and said directly to Octavia: "Tell me, Caius Silius Did you kill Si?"

Scylla, whose face was refuted, looked at Octavia with great concern. The latter lifted her messy hair and calmly said, "I killed it."

Before coming here, Messalina imagined how Octavia would respond, and even had a little delusion that it had nothing to do with Octavia.

But when Octavia admitted it very calmly, Messalina didn't know what to do, and even all the words she had imagined before were useless, so she could only stare at Octavia in a daze, repeating Said: "You really killed it."

"I killed it." Octavia knew that she couldn't hide the matter from Messalina, so she replied very simply: "I killed Caius Sirius."

"So mother, what do you want to do."

Messalina was dazed by Octavia's rhetorical question, and she couldn't even control her limbs. She could only let Scylla help her sit on the recliner, then drank the wine in a daze, and said in a trembling voice: "What do you want to do with me?"

As one of the Game of Thrones, Messalina doesn't ask stupid "why did you do that?"

For people like them, killing or being killed is completely normal.

Even if he is as strong as Caesar and as legendary as Pompey, isn't he still unable to escape the dagger of death?

Even if Caligula made everyone fear him violently, he still couldn't stop the assassins.

In fact, a long time ago, Messalina had a premonition that Octavia would attack Caius Sirius.

It's just that Messalina didn't pay attention to this intuition at that time. In other words, she expected Octavia to understand her and let Caius Sirius go.

And this also paved the way for her gaffe today.

"I won't do anything to you, as long as you stop associating with people in the Senate, I don't care whether you buy a gladiator as a lover, or pick up guests in the red light district." Octavia motioned to the door Elius retreated, but the latter kept his eyes open, gathered a group of dead soldiers as quickly as possible, and then squatted at the door of Octavia.

"This is really your answering style." Messalina laughed angrily, "What if I must seek justice for Caius Sirius?"

"Then you are crazy." Octavia slammed the table down, and a group of strong dead soldiers entered the door immediately.

They walked straight behind Messalina and waited for Octavia to give the order.

"Send her to my grandmother." Octavia suddenly felt her throat tighten, but calmly ordered as always: "Don't let her make any noise during the journey. If necessary, I will allow you to take medicine."

"Yes." The soldiers wanted to step forward to control Messalina, but the latter stopped her.

"I can walk by myself." Messalina got up and straightened her hair, and said arrogantly, "I can walk by myself."

Then she never came to Octavia's private house again, and even before her death, she never reconciled with Octavia.
