320 Chapter 322
Mauser’s smile was very gentle, but the candlelight around him cut the shadow on his face into pieces, making people look at him with an inexplicable fear.
“What question?” Andrew forced himself to calm down and shouted.
Mauser nodded with satisfaction. “Well, you have a good imposing manner. I like boys with imposing manners.
Then my first question is: Why did you kill Stout.”
“I don’t know. I’m just following orders.”
“Whose order?”
“The Red King”
“Well, now that I order my people to kill you, you should have no complaint, right? After all, they are also under orders to act.”
“If you want to kill me or not, just do as you say.”
“You have guts. I like it.”
Mauser stood up and turned his back to Andrew. “Stout is a good man. He has great authority in our party.
Many of our members have been taken care of by him. When it was cold and we don’t have anything to eat, he would distribute his food to the refugees even if he was hungry.
At the same time, he was also a good father. When Mia’s mom died because of a lack of medical conditions dystocia.
He took care of his daughter while taking care of the battlefield. He slept less than 4 hours a day.
Do you know how hard he is?”
After saying that, Mauser turned around and lowered his head. “I’ll repeat my question.
He is such a responsible and good man, a good leader. Why would he be killed by a scumbag like you who has never experienced any pain?.
And he had to go through three days and nights of inhuman torture?”
As soon as he finished speaking.
The soldiers around had surrounded them.
Everyone’s face was full of anger and hatred.
If it weren’t for the military discipline and the presence of Mauser, they might have swarmed up and devoured Andrew alive and in blood?
He looked at Mauser.
Although his smile was still on his face, the anger in his eyes could not be hidden.
Recalling the time when he was forced to torture Stout, Andrew now realized that what he had destroyed was not only Stout’s life.
It was the backbone of many people.
But that was how he was.
The puppet manipulated by Red King had made Stout lose everything.
Andrew lowered his head and said a few words after a long while.
“I’m sorry.”
Mauser’s face twitched slightly.
“Can an apology make up for it?”
“Mr. Stout saved my life! Two times!”
“I’ll kill you bastard!”
Seeing that the people around lost control of their emotions, Mauser suddenly stretched out his hand to stop them.
He stared at Andrew’s guilty face for a long time and said, “Do you think we can let you go if you give in now?”
“No, I’ve never thought about that.” Andrew said, “I know he is a good man, but I have no choice. He has no choice either.
But I know I don’t deserve his trust at all. I’ve been thinking about it every day these days.”
Andrew turned to look at Mia and said, “He also told me that if I saw his daughter, I would tell her:
Don’t be sad for me. I just went to heaven, and I will always protect you in heaven to fight.”
“Nonsense!”
“How could my father trust you?” Mia asked excitedly.
“To entrust a demon like you?”
Mia pulled out a sword from the people around and was about to stab Andrew.
However, Mauser grasped her wrist before the sword fell.
“Calm down.”
Mauser said calmly, “Whether or not you are lying remains to be verified.”
Then he looked down at Andrew again.
This time, the smile on his face disappeared. “Do you mean that Stout has entrusted you with something?
As you killed nearly thousands of us and tortured him?
If you wanted to survive, it was not a good excuse, Andrew.”
“I didn’t lie. He gave me his eagle badge and said that if I met the rebel army, this badge would help me explain to you.”
Hearing this, Mauser’s face froze. “Where?”
Andrew struggled to stand up, took out his sky ring, and handed it to Mauser.
Mauser calmly took the sky ring and pushed magic power down. All the things piled up in the ring were poured down.
The people around were so scared that they took a few steps back.
When they saw the pile of treasures, everyone’s eyes became fiery.
“Oh my God! He is so rich!”
“Kill him. These materials are enough for our whole army’s activities for three or four years.”
“Demon, how many people have been exploited by so many things?”
Seeing that the people around them were rubbing their hands, Mauser shouted coldly, “Stop!”
Only then did everyone stop in fear.
“No matter what, it’s his private property. As long as he’s alive, it belongs to him alone. If you rush forward when you see good things. Then what’s the difference between us and the demon groups?
Get out of here!”
The soldiers retreated resentfully.
Mauser found the badge with bloodstain from a pile of materials.
When the crowd saw the heavenly eagle badge, their expressions changed drastically.
“That’s dad’s…” Mia couldn’t help but burst into tears.
After checking the numbers on the back of the badge several times, Mauser said, “This is indeed Stout’s badge.
Our heavenly Eagle badges will be glued to the liver on our back, with fire magic attached. If we don’t agree to take them, they will only turn into copper water on the spot.
He entrusted you with this thing, which means that he has agreed that you are a comrade with the same goal as us.
But I don’t understand why he agrees with you.”
“As I said, I had no choice but to carry out that task.” Andrew sighed and told the truth.
This included the coercion of Red King, as well as the matter of his fellows in the school, and even the matter of Rachel and the red dragon king.
Andrew had too much to worry about.
At the same time, Red King used both hard and soft tactics.
This made him almost completely controlled and unable to fight back.
It was not until the appearance of Stout that Andrew got a chance.
Stout knew he couldn’t survive, so when he found that Andrew asked him for help, he gave up his life decisively and entrusted the hope to Andrew.
This child was chosen by Red King, which was enough to prove that he had amazing potential.
Mr. Stout was dead.
But at this moment, everyone seemed to hear his voice close to their ears:
“This is the child that Red King likes. If he is against the Law School, then sacrifice me and create a possibility for this young man, which is the greatest contribution I can make.”
“Nonsense!”
As soon as Andrew finished his words, Mia shouted excitedly, “Then why didn’t you tell me in the forest at the beginning?”
“You must have been monitored, right?”
Mauser said first, “There is a ban in the camp, and any perception and reconnaissance won’t work. That’s why you said that only here, right?”
Heard Mauser’s words, Andrew nodded in agreement. “The perception of Red King can cover the whole world, and you can cheat him with the perception.
If I tell others, I’m afraid that not only me, but all of you will die.”
“But… But…”
Mia choked with sobs.
But at this moment, facing her father’s badge, she could no longer hold back her tears.
At this moment, everyone fell into silence.
“I see. We didn’t kidnap some captives, but brought Stout’s hope back, right?”
Mauser grasped the badge and said, “Stout, I know what you mean.”
Then he looked up at Andrew and asked, “What do you want?”
Andrew said seriously, “I need to know a way to deceive Red King’s perception.
Your rebellious army can avoid being sent to perception, which is the key to my resistance against him. I need this method.”
