Chapter 496

"What's up?"

Sitting in front of the desk, the "black framed glasses" put down his book and raised his eyebrows.

"Er... You can say so..." the absent-minded Isaac shrugged, glanced behind him and closed the door: "I can't sleep a little, so I thought... You haven't slept anyway. Why don't we talk?"

"If you want to talk about the 300 million silver coins, I have told you - Loren Turin lied to you. He won all the money himself, and you don't need my permission."

The expressionless girl's eyes were calm: "in addition, I don't need you to apologize to me, because my goal has been achieved - thanks to you, all my debts have been paid off."

"I know this... I might as well know it when those little fools asked me to apologize to you." Isaac rolled his eyes, then sat directly in front of the "black frame glasses", tilted his head and showed a fake smile at the corners of his mouth:

"But I still feel I owe you an apology."

"Do you not understand the common language of Empire, or do you not understand human language at all?" Lina sarcastically said: "do you not understand? I deliberately angered you and asked Loren Turin to apologize and pay off my debt."

"Isaac Grantham, I used you, okay?"

"Well... This statement is a little hurtful..."

Isaac tilted his mouth and was embarrassed. He didn't dare to look at the face of "black frame glasses". He didn't know where to put his restless hands.

"So you don't have to apologize to me at all, and I won't accept it, because it has nothing to do with you here; you're just an insignificant piece I use to achieve my goal."

The girl snorted and stopped looking at him. She opened the book in her hand again and looked through it: "this is a deal between me and Loren Turin - he helped me pay off my debt, and I came forward as his witness, that's all."

"You don't accept... Sorry, what does it have to do with whether you accept it or not?"

Isaac stared at her strangely, with a natural expression. "Correct it, this is not to 'let me apologize to you'... Forgive me for pausing. Do you understand what 'moral condemnation' means?"

The girl who bowed her head and didn't speak had a new understanding of someone's absurdity.

"This sentence comes from a scripture of the Holy Cross Church... Thank my two devout parents, otherwise I can't know what such ghosts don't believe... In short, if a person can't be forgiven, he will be in a state of 'self repentance' semi permanently until he forgets it."

"Well... I'm listening." the girl dealt with it without raising her head.

"I mean 'I need to apologize to you and get your forgiveness', not that you need to get my apology... Understand?"

"You are really a complete fool," Lina muttered.

"I can't agree with this view... But it's not a gentleman's job to argue with women; so I don't remember villains and pretend you haven't said this..."

“……”

Isaac shrugged. "But now that we're talking about you and Loren, how about we continue to talk about you two?"

"... what else do you want?"

For a moment of peace, the "arrogant" who had just muttered did not go on. In the quiet room, only the sound of "black framed glasses" turning books could be heard.

A quarter of an hour has passed

The numb girl looked up and saw Isaac with a tangled face. She couldn't help humming coldly: "why... Don't some people still want to talk about me and Loren Turin?"

Isaac seemed to be hesitating. The impatient "black framed glasses" had got up and left with the book and walked to the bed: "if there's nothing, I'll be ready to sleep..."

"I know you're going to lie to him."

The girl's voice stopped abruptly and stopped rigidly in place; Behind him came Isaac's helpless sigh:

"You promised to testify for Lusaka, just lying to him... Because this stupid student has no hope except you."

“……”

"You have done a very excessive thing, Miss Lina de sallion."

"Did you tell him?"

"No, you're the first one to know about it... Of course, you're the second one."

"Why?"

"Which 'why'?" Isaac looked back at her puzzled. "Why didn't you tell him... Or why did I know?"

"All." the "black framed glasses" who turned around still looked Numb: "but I want to listen to the second one first."

"Oh... Well, I can't hold it any more." Isaac looked relieved. "Miss Lina desallion, I'm a mystic wizard. My job is to study them in a disordered and never conclusive world."

"So every time someone tells me something extremely unusual or there are obvious loopholes, I become particularly sensitive."

Isaac said word by word, with a pause: "your plan is almost perfect, and it looks natural... The most important thing is that the whole thing seems to have nothing to do with you... I think this may be the blind spot of brother Loren. He mistakenly thinks that others want to stop him, but he didn't think you might have arranged all this."

"Gambling in the casino, an encounter with count chann, a big gamble, some indescribable hint... Yes, he told me about it, but he didn't tell ain, and I promised to keep it secret for him... Assassin, tavern, until finally accepting his terms."

"Cause, process and result - the perfect combination. Brother Loren paid off your gambling debt and cleaned up the chamber of Commerce and those assassins in front of you. Of course, I think you will firmly stand by him... Yes, after so many things together, you will have some tacit understanding and friendship. It seems that you have no reason not to stand by him."

"What he didn't think of was that all this was just your arrangement - or even you were just a pawn used by someone to lure the little man cheated by brother Loren. There was someone else behind the scenes."

"....... do you have any evidence?" it took a long time for "black framed glasses" to say this.

"The purpose of evidence is to enable those who are too simple to see the problem clearly, or have one-sided and subjective assumptions to recognize the objective facts." Isaac looked at her with firm eyes:

"I am definitely not that kind of person. Although brother Loren has a simple mind, I believe he should and can do it."

Lena de sallion slowly looked up at Isaac, with no expression in her red pupils.

She was ready to ignore the arrogant and turn away alone.

"Wait, what are you doing?"

"Didn't you say I was lying to him?" the girl turned to look at him with a slight tremor in her voice: "good, let's tell him about it now."

"What?! no, it's absolutely not!" the impatient Isaac blocked directly in front of the door and said firmly: "you can't tell him about this. I won't allow you to do this!"

“……”

"Your testimony is Loren's last hope. I can't understand him better... Although he never says it, he is actually extremely proud; if you really tell him immediately, this guy will definitely do something incredible!"

"For example, prison robbery! Simply disrupt the whole pre imperial trial and make it unable to go on normally... Anyway, every time he is about to lose, the boy will take risks or do terrible things, and even let many people die for nothing. At that time, he just wants to win!"

Isaac's tone was extremely serious: "before, I couldn't help him or didn't know how to help... But this time I will never let him fool around!"

"So... What are you going to do?"

"There's another 'why' you didn't ask," Isaac said first. "Aren't you going to know?"

Lina de sallion came up to him and looked at the guy she seemed to know very well but didn't know at all. Her eyes were full of doubts:

"Why... Didn't you tell Loren?"

"Oh... This, this is simple." Isaac shrugged:

"I like you."
