Wang Xiaoming of Lucifer

"He bullied me first!" Colin defended himself.

"Why did he bully you?" Given that Colin had a good attitude of admitting his mistakes, Duke Scarlett was not too angry, but asked following his son's words.

"He robbed me of food!" Colin said confidently.

"Then you burned the man's clothes?" Duke Scarlet, who had finished looking at the man in the distance, asked back.

"I lost money!" Colin felt that he handled this matter very well, and there was nothing worthy of criticism.

"Then why did you bring him back?"

"He said I put on the airs of a nobleman." When it came to this, Colin was really wronged. "I'll bring him here to see what a nobleman usually looks like."

In fact, it is true that Ke Lin wants to clarify himself, but it is a bit too much to bring people home directly.But since his son has realized his mistake, it is impossible for Duke Scarlet to punish him for such a trivial matter.Besides, Colin hadn't had dinner yet.

So the Duke of Scarlett summoned servants and asked them to take Keynes to change a suit of clothes and prepare dinner for the two of them by the way.

Although Colin felt that Keynes had already eaten, there was absolutely no need to waste this meal, but this was an order from the Duke after all, and he could only accept it.

So when Cairns changed his clothes and was led into the dining room by the servants, he saw Colin sitting at the table and two steaming steaks.

"Sit down." After such a toss, Colin, who was already too hungry, saw Keynes enter the door, and pointed to the empty seat.

After Cairns was seated, Colin couldn't wait to eat his dinner, but no matter how fast he ate, he couldn't eat as fast as Cairns.

So when Cairns finished his dinner and saw Colin who was still eating slowly, he apologized for the first time: "I'm sorry."

Colin, who was swallowing a mouthful of steak at the time, looked at Cairns in surprise: "What?"

"I'm sorry." Cairns said generously, "I thought you disliked the food of the mercenary group." That's why I thought that this person also disliked it anyway, so I might as well help him eat it myself, so as not to waste it.

Hearing this reason, Colin resisted the urge to roll his eyes at Keynes, and calmly said, "I hate it." Otherwise, he wouldn't have traveled all the way home and brought a chef there.

As a result, the atmosphere between the two, who had just begun to relax, turned cold again in vain.

After dinner, the Duchess saw that it was getting late, so she asked them to stay.Of course Colin readily accepted this, and as Colin's guard, Keynes had no right to refute.So the two stayed in the Duke's mansion for one night, and returned to Du County the next day—because they left from the Duke's house, they went directly to the teleportation array in the garden of the Duke's mansion.

When the two returned to the Flame Wolf Base Camp, Cairns was called away by Carter, saying that someone came over to entrust a mission when he was away this morning.By the way, Colin checked with Carter about the chef he brought over, and then went back to his room to rest.

At noon, the chef brought by Colin originally wanted to bring Colin's food upstairs directly, but Cairns stopped him, so he had no choice but to go upstairs and inform Colin to come down for dinner.

Because the food was stopped by Cairns, Colin was again forced to dine at the same table as Cairns - Carter 'accompanied' by the way.

"For our side, we have lunch at [-] noon and dinner at [-] pm." Carter saw that the atmosphere between the two was so tense, so he randomly found some topics to try to ease the atmosphere, "You can come down and walk around more often if you have nothing to do. Teammates chatting or something."

Colin knew that Carter wanted him to integrate into the mercenary group as much as possible, but...

"There's nothing to talk about." Cairns on the side picked up a sausage from Carter's plate with a fork, "We can't talk about one piece."

Although Colin originally thought so, but being said so by Keynes always made Colin feel that he was despised.

"Why can't we talk together?" Carter frowned and looked at Keynes. "The mission will be out in two days. After entering the Forest of Eternal Rest, there are so many things to note and the content of the mission."

Carter felt that as an experienced mercenary, he could say a lot to new mercenaries. The mercenary who was half a year earlier than Ke Lin was still in the learning stage, being educated by those people every day. Why, how come there is nothing to say to Colin?

'But these people don't need to know. Keynes thought helplessly. Both he and Colin knew that this man came to their mercenary regiment to see the world, and he didn't really want to become a qualified mercenary. Matters of life and death meant nothing to Colin.

But Keynes couldn't tell Carter clearly. After all, although Colin didn't care about letting people know his identity, Keynes, the mercenary captain, still cared about the atmosphere inside their mercenary group—whether it was deliberately isolating Colin Or to please Colin deliberately, he doesn't want to see it.

Thinking of this, Keynes glared at Colin very dissatisfied, and Colin, who felt that he had been angered, stared back not to be outdone.

Carter, who saw the interaction between the two, kicked Cairns directly and forked a few pieces of bacon from his plate.

Ke Lin looked at the two people who had already started fighting for food on each other's plates. While wondering whether this behavior of grabbing food was very common in the mercenary group, he asked a question: "Do we have a mission yet?"

"Well, it's a big task." Carter answered Colin's question while distracting himself from blocking Keynes' fork. "The whole team will definitely go there at that time."

"If you don't want to go, you can stay here." Seeing that Carter was guarding so tightly, Keynes simply turned to Colin's plate and robbed two pieces of potatoes and came back.

"I don't want to go, I just want to know what the task is so that I can prepare in advance." Colin looked at Cairns, then looked down at the untouched potatoes on his plate, and then silently pretended not to care Yes, I pushed all those foods that I didn't like in the direction of Cairns—since in the mercenary group, it is necessary to be taken away from the plate, so compared to being taken away from the ones I like to eat, It's better to have someone take away the ones you don't like.

"No need." Keynes raised his eyebrows when he noticed Colin's little move.
