Shut up, malevolent dragon! I don’t want to have any more children with you V1C187

Chapter 187: Please turn on the voice

Here in Victor’s place, Leon only told him about his purpose of returning to the empire. As for what happened to Leon after he was captured, his relationship with the Silver Dragon Queen, and speculation about the cooperation between Constantine and the empire, Leon didn’t mention a single word. Because Victor was different from Rebecca.

The crazy girl was included in the group of old, weak, and sick only after Master’s first review and Leon’s second review, which finally confirmed that she was definitely not a spy.

So the spy who betrayed Leon back then was among Victor and Martin.

The more said, the more wrong. Leon wasn’t so excited about meeting his old friend that he forgot the purpose of his trip.

Inside the room, after listening to Leon’s narration, Victor’s reaction was similar to Rebecca’s at that time.

First, surprise, and then he mentioned that he too was caught in the illusion at that time, and when he came to his senses, Leon was already injured and lying on the ground.

“Oh, so it seems like it was a group illusion after all,” Leon said softly.

“Yeah, it’s a pity that we were too slow to break free from the illusion back then, otherwise maybe we could have saved you, Captain,” Victor said.

Leon’s eyes flickered slightly as he quietly scrutinized Victor.

His words were quite subtle.

“Maybe we could have saved you, Captain.” Doesn’t that imply ‘I’m not the spy’?

Interesting, Leon thought.

However, Leon didn’t show anything, just replied, “It’s okay, don’t worry about it, I’m fine now, aren’t I?”

“So Captain, what do you plan to do next? Go find Martin?” Victor asked.

Leon raised an eyebrow slightly. Instead of hastily answering Victor’s question, he glanced at Rebecca beside him.

The twin-tailed loli was sitting at the table, Victor’s old guitar lying on it. She wasn’t particularly artistic, just randomly plucking the guitar strings with the ivory-white pick.

Well, it seemed that in this world, the only person who could communicate with Leon through eye contact and activate the team voice chat was Rosvitha. Leon withdrew his gaze and looked back at Victor.

“Not in a hurry. Martin’s family background is special, so we can’t easily meet him,” Leon said.

Although Rebecca mentioned that Martin always faced his stepmother’s wrath at home, he was still the youngest son of a royal minister, not someone you could meet just because you wanted to.

Upon hearing this, Victor pondered for a moment before saying, “Meeting him isn’t that difficult.”

“Hmm? Do you have a plan?” Leon asked.

Victor nodded. “In two days, it’s Martin’s stepmother’s birthday banquet. It has invited various friends, as well as many politicians and ministers. We can disguise ourselves and sneak in to find Martin then.”

Leon thought for a moment. “Indeed, it’s a good opportunity…”

But… isn’t it too coincidental?

Leon had just returned to the empire, thinking it would be difficult to see Martin, but at this moment, his stepmother happened to have a birthday. It’s not that birthdays couldn’t be celebrated, but the timing was too coincidental;

Leon didn’t directly express his doubt. He assessed Victor, his brain working rapidly, before finally asking, “What’s the relationship like between Martin and his stepmother? I just want to confirm whether Martin will definitely attend his stepmother’s birthday banquet.”

Victor’s eyes shifted, his weathered face devoid of expression, but he hesitated slightly before replying, “I remember their relationship should be quite good. He even gave his stepmother a valuable piece of jewelry.”

Leon let out a long “Oh” and then glanced at Rebecca. The crazy girl had somehow already stood behind Leon, her cute little face icy cold as she met Leon’s gaze, saying nothing.

Leon didn’t say anything either. He looked back at Victor. “This information is very timely, Victor. So, we’ll go to the banquet in two days.”

“No problem. Oh, by the way, what about after finding Martin? How do you plan to identify the traitor who framed you back then?” Victor asked.

Leon smirked mysteriously. “I’ve already figured out a way.”

Victor paused for a moment, then also put on a smile. “Ah, I’m also among the suspected targets, so I won’t ask further.”

“Thanks for understanding.”

After a pause, Leon added, “Oh, and since you brought it up, I’ll be direct. For safety’s sake, please stay at the bar these two days. Do you understand what I mean?”

Victor wasn’t foolish. Someone who could serve as a deputy in the military naturally understood Leon’s intention at this moment. The so-called ‘for safety’s sake’ wasn’t for Victor’s safety, but for the safety of Leon and the others.

If Victor was truly a spy for the empire, once he got the chance to pass on information, Leon and the others would be in trouble. By keeping him at the bar and monitoring him from outside, they could cut off his contact with the empire.

As for why Leon wasn’t worried about whether there were people from the empire lurking outside, it was because of the Master’s role!

If there were indeed people from the empire nearby, the Master would have rushed in to inform Leon long ago. Each member of the old, weak, and sick group played a crucial role.

Upon understanding Leon’s intentions, Victor nodded.

“Alright, I understand.”

“Good. Thank you for your trouble. We’ll come back to find you in two nights,” Leon said.

“Okay.”

Leon didn’t linger any longer. He got up, took a step, and walked towards the room’s door. Rebecca walked in front of him, leading the way out. As they passed by the table near the door, Leon looked at the guitar on the table.

He suddenly stopped and said, “You’ve been using this guitar for many years, haven’t you? Haven’t you replaced it?”

Victor chuckled behind him. “Times have been tough, so I’ve been using it as long as it’s still usable.”

Leon nodded lightly and glanced at the ivory-white pick beside the guitar. It was translucent and clear. Victor always liked to pursue delicacy and taste in such small items, Leon thought, and then stepped out of the room.

After closing the door, the two of them left backstage, crossed the colorful dance floor and the smoky corridor, and arrived outside the bar.

Cool, fresh air greeted them, and Rebecca greedily took a breath, stretching lazily, her flat figure showing off its full potential.

“So, do you think it’s him?” Rebecca asked.

Leon frowned, pondering, and shook his head. “It’s hard to say. We shouldn’t make any judgments before seeing Martin.”

Rebecca chuckled, playing with her ponytail as she bounced over to Leon’s side. “You’re still as cautious as ever, Captain.”

“It’s always better to be cautious.”

“But you still got betrayed by a spy back then.”

“…”

Well, this girl might not have the ability to communicate with Leon through team voice chat like Rosvitha, but her mouth was just as sharp as that mother dragon’s. She always knew how to hit Leon where it hurt the most.

“But back to the point, Captain, what if this birthday banquet Victor mentioned is a trap? What if they’re intentionally luring you in, planning to kill you and cover it up? Should we still go?”

What Rebecca thought of, Leon had naturally thought of long before.

“This is a good opportunity to contact Martin. If we miss it, who knows how long we’ll have to wait. So, we’ll definitely attend the appointment. It’s just…”

Leon chuckled, “We don’t have to be punctual.”

Rebecca’s little brain barely kept up with Leon’s train of thought. “Not be punctual? You mean we should go a little late?”

Leon shook his head. “No, quite the opposite. We… will go early.”
