Chapter 1145 (2/2)
”This is” Garde's expression instantly changed He turned to his secretary inquiringly
The secretary stared at the license for quite a while before he slowly confirit”
”How come you have that”
”That's top secret information of the association that you aren't entitled to,” Roland talked over Garde In fact, he did not even kno the association approved and issued licenses ”You just need to knohat it stands for”
Garde gazed at Roland darkly He fuar that he distractedly took out frohter seems to have made her acquaintance with an extraordinary person Mr Roland, the Martialist association is a law-abiding organization”
”Do you think I'h ”Like I said, this is a deal”
”So you mean”
”A successful businessht? You ht before you but not those in hiding,” Roland said as he stuck out one finger ”I can take care of that for you, though not everyone They have to be underground criminals Also, their presence has to constitute a threat I have ation, so don't you attempt to fool me In this way, the association would not notice our deal I would rather keep this conversation between ourselves”
In short, Roland was going to crack down on crianizations usually involved a lengthy process, which included collecting evidence, a, arrests, and trials As such, companies normally preferred to resort to force to avoid substantial financial loss From Garde's look, Roland already knew he had had many unfortunate encounters with these criminals
Garde said hesitantly, ” Mr Roland, if you're serious, then that wouldn't be a good deal for you”
Roland stifled his sht Her father was not only a ”reasonable person” but also a wise one
”Just see the to ask you to help these three first The total nurants?” Garde echoed in disbelief ”The police will get suspicious”
”Take it slow I don't need you to do it anyti-terested, that not every witch liked studying For example, Elena and Phyllis would prefer to kill Fallen Evils with hi over books
”In that case, I may be able to help you”
”Well then, I look forward to working with you”
The deal was sealed after the secretary took pictures of the witches Although they had not signed an agreement in any form, Roland was certain that Garde would not break his promise
When Roland was about to leave with the witches, Garde suddenly shouted behind hi else I can help you with?” Roland said while turning around
”My daughter, Garcia, how is she?” Garde asked after a moment of hesitation ”I called her many times, but she didn't pick up”
”Rest assured She's doing very well,” Roland replied
Garde finally ignited the cigar after the door was closed He muttered to his secretary, ”Is he really just so,” the secretary, who had been keeping his silence throughout the conversation, said, ”He talked to you with an air of undisguised condescension”
Common people would usually talk to him in a ti that they were not afraid of the huge social and economic difference between them Garde did not think it was the Force of Nature that made Roland fearless, because he had just awakened
Nevertheless, Garde had not noticed any signs of such timidness in Roland On the very contrary, he was confident, relaxed, and even a little haughty It was as though he had seen much of life already
How could that be possible? Roland was around the sae as Garcia A man in his twenties!
For the first tiure out a person
”You didn't have to negotiate with him yourself,” Saint Miranof the torlds It's really rude of him to stare at you like that”
”If Lady Alethea were here, she would have put a knife to his throat,” Dido agreed
”As a king, you can do whatever you want,” Dawnen said disapprovingly ”Lady Alice never cared about what other people thought of her”
Roland was airls” ”My et in here, and I've told you not to call me 'Your Majesty' outside”
”Yes, brother Roland,” the three witches said together instantly
”By the way, are we still going back?” Dawnen eagerly looked at the new servings on the table as she licked her lips
”The feast doesn't end until ht as well head back soon The other witches are waiting for us,” Roland said as he stared up at the darkened sky ”We'll stay another half an hour and then we'll set off at 8:00 sharp”
”As you command!” the three of them chorused and sprinted up to the table
” They do look like underage kids ,” Roland thought to himself He shuffled behind thene when he realized he still had to drive, and dejectedly put down the glass
Just then, the pale, golden chaed
A red swirl of ink suddenly appeared in his glass and gradually foret what you promised ht down the urge to throw the glass away
Roland was holding the wine glass with such iain, peered down at his cha words had vanished The liquid was a pure, crystal-clear pale-gold again It looked as though nothing had happened
