Chapter 76 Chapter 76: Warning the Monkey "This guy's name is Cody, he's...
Naki drove the aircraft to a stop in the underground parking garage of the Supervisory Bureau.
He hesitated to look at Amiya, who looked as if covered in frost. It was obvious that Amiya was in a bad mood.
Amiya noticed Naki's gaze and turned her head from the passenger seat, raising her eyebrows slightly. "Why, do you have something to say?"
Naki hesitated for a moment, but still said, "...Your Highness, are you considering a divorce?"
Hearing this, Amiya covered her mouth and laughed exaggeratedly as if she had heard something extremely funny.
"divorce?"
Naki was silent.
Amiya's gaze fell on the female soldier on her left. Her eyebrows slightly raised, and a hint of a cold smile appeared in the corner of her eyes.
"Naki, what did His Majesty Atalan tell you? You're actually meddling in my private affairs."
But the smile did not reach his eyes. Instead, it revealed a cold chill, as deep as a pool, exuding a chilling coldness.
The corners of Amiya's mouth rose slightly, as if mocking something, but the next moment they were pursed into a tight line, appearing gloomy and depressed.
Naji quickly lowered his head: "I dare not."
"Whether you dare or not and whether you can or not are two different things."
Amiya's face was as cold as frost. She reached into her coat pocket and held the business card tightly in her right hand.
He issued a final warning:
"This matter is not your business, nor is it your Majesty's business. I mean what I say."
After saying that, without waiting for Naki to say anything, Amiya directly opened the door of the aircraft and walked towards the elevator in the underground garage with her long legs.
Seeing this, Naki naturally followed out. After locking the aircraft with the key, he followed Amiya to ensure the safety of the Second Prince.
This time, he suddenly received a call from the Second Prince's terminal, and hurriedly drove his aircraft to the bottom of the villa, and listened to a live quarrel between the Second Prince and his master - if that could be considered a quarrel.
It is said that there is no coincidence in the world.
Naki naturally didn't know,
The reason for the quarrel between Amiya and President Jin was the business card given to President Jin by Cody, the divorce lawyer brought by Naki.
Because of this business card, he was not the only one who was called out late at night. In the office upstairs, there were two unlucky guys who had fallen into Amiya's trap waiting.
Earl Baker didn't send the message earlier or later, but chose to send the photo to Amiya when Amiya was the most angry. He was giving Amiya a punching bag, so Amiya was naturally happy to accompany him.
Amiya needed to vent.
He felt so miserable, he had never felt so miserable before.
Even when she was locked up in a shabby basement, abandoned, or shot through the chest, Amiya had never felt such pain.
He was in so much pain.
But he couldn't show his pain. Amiya didn't learn how to show his pain. He only learned to hide all his weaknesses.
Falling in love with Jin Er really made Amiya very painful.
Or perhaps, the concept of "love" itself is incompatible with Amiya. He forcibly wants to retain something that is not suitable for him and wants to become one with that thing.
What can be felt naturally is embarrassment and pain.
Amiya herself knew that a madman was not suitable to talk about love.
The love of a madman is twisted, hidden deep under the mask of extreme madness. He longs to be unconditionally accepted by the male insect, but is unable to let go of the disguise. He is afraid that once his true heart is revealed, he will lose everything like a gambler.
If in a casino, a gambler who has already lost his mind to gambling will not leave the gambling table.
But this is in the love field.
Amiya could only feel defeated and helplessly angry.
The red heart in the chest seemed unable to bear the pain and was madly trying to jump out of the throat.
Amiya walked quickly for a while.
The temperature in the underground garage is relatively low.
It turns out to be very cold.
Amiya never knew before that the cold could come from the inside out.
——
Inside the Supervisory Bureau's office, the lights were cold, reflecting the tense atmosphere in the room.
The gray-haired male insect Lin Mo sat on a leather sofa with his hands crossed and his brows furrowed.
Across from him, Count Baker leaned against a heavy oak table, his fingers tapping lightly on the surface, creating a dull rhythm. Despite his advanced age, the Count's eyes remained sharp.
There was a silent confrontation in the air, as if any extra words could trigger this silent war.
Just then, the door was pushed open.
Amiya, wearing a dark windbreaker, walked in calmly.
His appearance broke the deadlock in the room, but did not bring any relaxation.
On the contrary, there was a faint smile on Amiya's lips, and a hint of teasing in her eyes.
"Everyone is here."
Naki followed Amiya quietly like a small mountain, acting as a bodyguard and background board.
As Amiya walked, the hem of his black windbreaker swayed freely, and the hem of the windbreaker followed the rhythm of his steps, inadvertently outlining his straight and slender legs.
He walked to the large desk and sat down on the edge of it without any hesitation. One leg naturally lifted up and rested on the knee of the other leg. The posture of crossing his legs looked casual.
In a moment,
Earl Baker's face turned green.
After these two encounters, he could probably guess that the Second Prince would not treat him well.
But he didn't expect that the Second Prince would be so disrespectful to him, an old nobleman.
The nobles attach great importance to etiquette, and pay more attention to the way they treat guests in every frown, smile, and gesture. Anyone with a discerning eye can see the contemptuous attitude of the Second Prince.
But even though Earl Baker looked very bad, he didn't dare to say the first half of the sentence.
Who made Amiya the Second Prince, and who made this the Supervisory Bureau.
If Amiya is willing to put in some superficial effort, that would naturally be the best.
But if Amiya is unwilling to waste time on superficial work and unwilling to observe the etiquette of hospitality, no one dares to say anything to Amiya.
This is power.
This is the power of authority.
Earl Baker could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger.
at this time,
Amiya just twitched his wrists a few times out of boredom. With his subtle movements, a clear photo was suddenly projected and unfolded in the air.
The photo is not very clear and it can be seen that it was taken secretly, but the two protagonists in the photo look very familiar.
It was Lin Mo and Wen Laiyak.
There are photos of them getting off the aircraft together, and there are photos of them having dinner together...
Lin Mo's expression finally changed when his eyes fell on the photo projection in the air.
——He had a bad feeling when he was summoned to the Supervisory Bureau by the Second Prince in the middle of the night. After arriving here, the sarcasm in Earl Baker's words made Lin Mo have some speculations.
And what Amiya said next confirmed Lin Mo's guess.
Amiya lowered her head and fiddled with her nails, not even glancing at Earl Baker. She just said slowly:
"Count Baker, it seems this is your sincerity in wanting to join us."
Earl Baker sat there, his lips curled up and his eyes showed determination.
The years had left a few wrinkles on his face, and this smile was forced, concealing the deep scheming and calculations in his heart.
In his cognition, it seems that nothing can escape his calculation and control, and that hidden cunning is the solid foundation that has enabled him to remain standing in the political arena for many years.
Just like once you are unfaithful, you will never be used again. Someone like Amiya, who cannot tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes, will never allow her subordinates to make mistakes.
What's more, Naki's position is already vague, and His Majesty the Insect Emperor must be paving the way for His Highness this time.
Earl Baker slowly leaned back in his chair, content to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two tigers. At this time, he knew that he no longer needed to add fuel to the fire.
Since Amiya doesn't choose him, then Amiya has to choose him.
Although this is also an extremely risky behavior, compared with the Grand Prince, Earl Baker believes that the Second Prince's camp can give him more status and benefits.
Of course, the most important thing is that there are too many enemies in the Grand Prince's camp that he has offended. It is simply impossible for him to join the Grand Prince at this time.
Politics is like a battlefield.
It has always been like this.
Calculating and being calculated is the norm.
Amiya crossed her legs, scoffed, and looked up at the silent Lin Mo:
"Lin Mo, do you have anything to say? Don't tell me you're trying to convince the Third Legion Commander to remarry."
Lin Mo said nothing: "..."
The photos were in front of him, and he really had no way to refute it.
What's more, maybe he did have some hesitations in his stance, but he absolutely could not say this out loud, otherwise it would be a dead end.
Every choice needs to be made with extreme caution. The interests of the family must always be above all else. Lin Mo represents not only himself, but the entire family.
The major families also got involved in the fight between the two princes.
"You're truly ruthless! Are you trying to drag the Third Legion Commander into joining our band of traitors?"
Amiya smiled:
"Don't treat me like a fool. You wanted a divorce back then, wasn't it to distance yourself from the Third Legion Commander and prevent him from falling into our den of wolves?"
Lin Mo was stunned when he heard this: "Second Prince, I really have no second thoughts about you. This is just... a private matter."
I'm doing my best to say this, but unfortunately, loyalty is something that is sometimes incredibly strong, and sometimes as fragile as a thin piece of paper that breaks with a single poke.
After hearing this, Earl Baker, who was just looking for trouble, interrupted:
"Private matter? It should be a private matter, right? I heard that Wenlaiyak has been buying less inhibitors recently."
Lin Mo glanced at Earl Baker coldly:
"You, shut up."
He himself has been in a high position for a long time, and he was already unhappy about being in such an unfavorable situation where his momentum was suppressed.
If we really want to talk about status, Earl Baker is a male insect, an old aristocrat, and has the title of earl, which is indeed remarkable.
But the Lin Mo family itself is not a pushover, and Lin Mo is the president of the Male Insect Protection Association and the warden of the Male Insect Special Prison. He is one of the few male insects who hold real power.
Therefore, Lin Mo's few words with a hint of rebuke really made Earl Baker, who had always been flattered by others, stunned for a moment, and then he was filled with anger.
Count Baker retorted with a sullen face:
"What is Lord Lin Mo doing? He's taking his anger out on me. He really doesn't behave like a junior at all."
Lin Mo responded with ease. He glanced at Earl Baker coldly:
"In the political arena, we don't care about those old-fashioned things about seniority. We only consider the level of position. May I ask how Earl Baker and I compare?"
The two male insects in front of her were attacking each other, which should have been a good show, but Amiya found it boring.
——It’s really strange. He thought he would enjoy watching the fun, but when it really came to this, he couldn’t be happy at all.
When Amiya saw Lin Mo, she would think of him and Wen Laiyak, their failed marriage, and then Jin Er.
It seems that after all the twists and turns, it will eventually come back to the hero of Amiya.
This business marriage of the Second Prince of the Empire restricted not only Jin'er, but also Amiya.
This marriage quietly put a collar around Amiya's neck. Whenever he thought of the male insect and felt sad, the collar around his neck would suddenly tighten, making it difficult for him to breathe.
With a little bit of disappointment, and with a dilapidated ending that is obvious at a glance.
That feeling is really terrible.
It was so bad that Amiya didn't even feel like watching the show.
"That's enough."
"Take it."
Amiya waved her hands impatiently, her face full of boredom and tiredness, as if she had lost interest in everything in front of her.
Hearing this, Naki's eyes instantly became sharp and decisive.
He moved, took a few steps to Earl Baker's side, and captured the male insect.
Earl Baker was obviously caught off guard by this sudden change. The astonishment on his face was like a solidified sculpture, his eyes were wide open, full of disbelief.
Lin Mo was also startled, obviously surprised by the change in front of him.
But then, Lin Mo reacted immediately, looked at Earl Baker, then stood up and moved away from Earl Baker who was struggling on the ground.
"Hey! Why! This must be a mistake!"
Earl Baker struggled and shouted, his voice mixed with anger and confusion.
Naki said nothing and didn't hesitate at all. He thrust his knee hard and hit Earl Baker's back accurately. The powerful force made the once invincible Earl lose his balance in an instant and fall heavily to the ground.
"Ugh! Bastard!"
Earl Baker has always been very respectable and has never been in such a mess.
He was pinned to the ground, and by a female insect whom he looked down upon, like a prisoner who had committed an offense, and his face was literally pressed to the ground and stepped on.
Naki then leaned over and pinned Earl Baker down with his strong arm, making him unable to move. He took out the cable tie he carried with him and tied Earl Baker up in one go.
The cable tie dug into the flesh tightly.
Earl Baker's wrinkled face was twisted with humiliation, but he still struggled unwillingly:
"Second Prince! This is a mistake! This is a real mistake!!"
It's very noisy.
The noise made Amiya feel even worse.
"That's not a mistake."
Amiya condescended to get down from the table in the conference room, walked slowly to the front of Earl Baker who was pinned to the ground, and half-knelt down.
"Earl Baker insisted on stirring up trouble, and chose this time. Isn't this just a punching bag?"
Seeing the frightened and angry expression on the old male insect's face, Amiya felt a little better. He lowered his eyes and gave a few words of advice as if to give alms:
"Don't you know I'm vindictive? Think about Bailey and what you'll do."
Earl Baker was shocked. He certainly knew what would happen to Bailey. Ever since Amiya mentioned Bailey's name last time, Earl Baker knew that Bailey could no longer be saved.
To show his loyalty, Earl Baker buried Baley alive when he returned.
I thought the matter was over, but I never expected that Amiya wanted to kill not only Bailey, but him as well!
"You're crazy! You bastard!"
Earl Baker opened his eyes wide, gritted his teeth, puffed up his cheeks, his eyes turned red with anger, and his face looked terrifying.
"Oh, save your energy."
Amiya smiled nonchalantly.
The way he looked at Earl Baker was no different from the way he looked at a speck of dust on the ground or a speck of mud on his feet.
It was a kind of oppression and disgust from top to bottom.
Amiya's heart is bad, it's obvious, there's no need to hide it.
His positive emotions, such as pity, love, and sympathy, were already pitifully rare for Amiya, and later he almost poured them all on Jin Er, and could not give them to others.
Amiya never shows mercy to those she hates, and she will never be stupid enough to let Earl Baker go.
Amiya has been living in a world of deception and scheming for a long time. If he fails to kill the enemy with one strike, he will be the one to suffer next.
If one shot fails to kill the wolf, it will pounce and bite Amiya's flesh and blood for dinner.
Amiya's ruthlessness is his sharpest gun.
Looking at Earl Baker, who was in a mess and twisting like a maggot on the ground, Amiya's eyes showed neither sadness nor joy.
There was nothing but ridicule.
Amiya has experienced such victories too many times, so Earl Baker's miserable condition at this moment can hardly stir any waves in his heart.
Lin Mo frowned slightly and stood aside, suddenly understanding something in his heart.
——Today, Amiya called him and Earl Baker over. On the one hand, she was inviting him into a trap and catching Earl Baker; on the other hand, she was warning him.
More importantly,
Since Amiya dared to attack Earl Baker at this moment, it meant that Amiya had made up her mind to seize the throne.
I just don't know what happened that suddenly stimulated Amiya and made her make such a decision.
There was indeed a plan before, but Amiya seemed to lack interest and was not very involved. It seemed that she had given up halfway. Instead, she often stayed at home or somewhere else. After all, Lin Mo didn't know where Amiya went when she was free.
To put it in the present context, Amiya's handling of this matter is nothing more than killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
——He was hitting Lin Mo.
"Well, I'll leave Earl Baker to you. Do whatever you want with him, Lin Mo."
Amiya walked over and looked at Lin Mo impartially, her blood-red eyes full of teasing:
"Don't betray my trust in you."
Lin Mo's pupils shrank slightly. He heard the second prince A Miya's whisper in his ear like a devil:
"You've given me such a huge weakness."
"Lin Mo, if you are loyal, I will let you go without any problem. If you have other intentions, then you should think about the consequences."
"Winlayak,"
Amiya raised her eyebrows and slowly straightened up. Her blood-red eyes were like the eyes of a devil, and she was good at finding weaknesses.
"It's really interesting, Lin Mo, even a guy like you would be so sincere. Isn't this just handing your weakness to the enemy?
Of course, you can rest assured for now. As long as you don't betray me, I am not your enemy."
"Okay, that's all I have to say."
Amiya took out a crumpled business card from her pocket with her right hand and handed it to Lin Mo.
"Lin Mo, here's your mission: find this guy."
Lin Mo's eyes fell on the business card, which was wrinkled and tattered, as if Amiya and this business card had some irreconcilable hatred.
He took the business card with both hands: "Okay."
Before leaving, Amiya said seemingly unintentionally:
"This guy's called Cody, he's a lawyer, tie him up for me."
