Chapter 379: Blinded by Greed
After Casa received confirmation from Morton, he turned his gaze to Lei Luo.
“I’m different from Ulysses. He only likes conquering, and I want to have it. So, I won’t just bring Allie back. This will make me feel very unfulfilled. I will bring her back to her brother’s city, and after obtaining his brother’s permission, I will take her away openly.”
There was no rehearsal, but Lei Luo took over Morton’s words.
He took them almost perfectly.
This made Morton feel very comfortable.
He had a little expectation from the beginning that there would be a deeper collusion between him and Lei Luo, although Casa still felt a little suspicious about what Lei Luo had just said.
But, in his opinion, as a low-level military officer, it was only natural that there was an incomprehensible gap between them.
And even if he wanted to turn back now, there was no turning back.
It was with his help that Arthur had taken Mitchell hostage.
Casa could only follow them.
About a day later, everyone arrived at Samar City.
This sudden arrival had scared the guards in the city.
Lei Luo went forward to negotiate and told Allie about the situation.
The guards immediately went to inform Samar.
About half an hour later...
“Princess Allie’s personal maid said that Princess Allie did sneak out, but she didn’t tell us where she went.”
“General, there’s a concert with Lady Youxue in Xida City, which is under the command of the Dark Dragon Alliance’s Wind Heart City Lord.”
When the news reached here, anyone who knew about the past between Allie and Youxue should know what was going on.
“A jealous woman is really more terrifying than any magical beast.”
While the duty officer sighed, he also gave his orders.
“Immediately dispatch a small team to escort them into the city after confirming that it’s safe.”
Before the city gate was opened, Lei Luo, who was standing in front of the gate and waiting for it to open, became complacent.
Casa frowned slightly.
Although he wasn’t as cunning as Morton and Lei Luo, he wasn’t a fool.
Seeing Lei Luo like this, it was impossible for him not to notice that something had gone wrong.
But now, what was done was done. Even if he suspected it, what could he do?
He could only blindfold himself and charge forward.
And it was precisely because Lei Luo aimed at this point that he was so unbridled.
As the city gates slowly opened, the person who came to welcome them was the duty officer of the day. freewe(b)novel
As soon as they met, two female soldiers walked over and took Princess Allie over first.
The duty officer smiled and said, “Sorry to trouble the Dark Dragon Alliance.”
Perhaps he thought that this would make him appear very enthusiastic, but none of the people present took a fancy to him.
“Generals, I think you have misunderstood. We are not from the Dark Dragon Alliance. Of course, except for this one. Commander Casa did not hesitate to defect for your Princess Allie. You have to thank him properly to be worthy of his loyalty.”
The other party was very confused by Lei Luo’s words.
Casa’s expression changed on the spot.
“Duke Lei Luo, I saved her because?—”
“I know. You saved her because of me. It doesn’t matter. My share will be given to you sooner or later. I just want to help you get another share from the East God. You have given them such a huge favor. If you don’t get any benefits, wouldn’t it be a joke to outsiders that the East God is stingy?”
“This...what’s going on?”
The duty officer looked around with a stunned expression.
“All of this is a coincidence.”
Morton spoke concisely about the matter on his shoulder. Other than Lei Luo’s identity being concealed, everything else was revealed.
When Casa heard Morton say that Lei Luo had only come to him to ask for his savings, his expression turned exceptionally ugly.
However, he was a smart person after all. It was too late for him to say anything then.
If he were to turn hostile now, what good would it do him? freeweb novel.com
He could only swallow his broken teeth.
As he glared at Lei Luo, he cursed himself in his heart for being blinded by greed.
“Since that’s the case, everyone is Princess Allie’s benefactor. Please stay in the inn first. After I rule the city lord, I will thank everyone.”
It sounded ridiculous, but they were grateful that Princess Allie had been sent over properly.
It was impossible to say that it was fake.
It was just that they did not completely trust these people. They could only wait for Princess Allie to wake up before asking in detail.
With this thought in mind, the duty officer made such an arrangement.
It didn’t matter to Lei Luo.
Since he had just left, he didn’t know anyone, and he had good food and drinks.
What was wrong with that?
Arthur didn’t say anything. They were all poor anyway.
Being able to eat and drink for free was his greatest dream in life.
Morton didn’t have to worry about food and drinks, but he was very curious about Lei Luo.
Therefore, everyone was very satisfied with the arrangement of the duty officer.
Only Casa was very angry.
He took such a big risk and took such a big responsibility of betraying the alliance.
He was counting on the promise of Lei Luo’s city. Who would want the gratitude of a broken City Lord?
Although there was fire in his stomach, he could not say it.
He could only force it in his stomach.
No matter how down and out he was, this was still his territory.
Besides, he had done such a thing, and there was no place for him anywhere else, no matter how unwilling he was.
He thought that he could only rely on these people for the rest of his life.
The more he thought about it, the more Casa wanted to beat them up to death.
But in the end, after thinking about it, he held back.
“Sigh. Let’s talk about it after we get to the hotel.”
“Damn it. I’ve bet my whole life’s future on coming here with you guys. You absolutely can’t give me the runaround like this!”
After Lei Luo and the others arrived at the hotel, they gathered at the courtyard.
After the guide left, Casa did not even enter the room and directly fought at the door.
He casually pulled out his sword and growled at Lei Luo.
“What are you so excited about? Let’s talk in the room.”
Lei Luo wiped the sweat from his forehead, shook his head, and gently pushed Casa away.
Then, he directly walked into the door.
As soon as he entered the room, Lei Luo threw his coat to the side..
Casa, who was holding a sword, did not take it seriously.
Morton also walked in with a smile on his face.
When he saw Arthur, who looked a little nervous, he sped up a few steps, trying to stop Casar.
Morton reached out to stop Arthur, then shook his head with a smile and whispered, “Don’t worry. I don’t need you.”
