Chapter 25: Weak Gary
Scared?
What's the shock?
Although the Gallier family has been in business for generations, his mother's brothers and sisters work in the military and have a certain status in the political arena. Who would be so careless as to embarrass him at his birthday party?
Although he was thinking this in his heart, the expression on the blond young man's face did not change.
Just as Galliel lowered his eyes and prepared to leave, the voice rang in his ears again, "Galiel certainly couldn't have imagined someone would be so bold. Right now, the daughter the Todd family had just adopted is unconscious and waiting for him in the lounge."
[Normally, this matter shouldn't have affected so many people.]
[But the aphrodisiac smoke in the room directly exposed the shadows and flaws hidden beneath Galliard's gentle and respectable appearance.]
His 3S mental energy leaked out uncontrollably, nearly turning the poor girl into a fool. Ultimately, he was successfully positioned as the perpetrator, having gone from being a victim. The image he had maintained for years was destroyed in an instant.
The sweet boy's voice was filled with pity.
shadow?
Galliard caught a glimpse of a certain word, and his handsome brows, which were slightly curved, gradually turned colder. He unconsciously stopped walking and turned his head to look behind him. There was still no one who matched the voice in the place where the voice came from.
"You clearly know those things."
The gentle and warm-hearted young man with blond hair radiated radiance, his golden eyes shone sinisterly. His voice was low and soft, "So he knows everything... Why, knowing exactly what kind of person I am, does he still pity me like this..."
Galliard's mind uncontrollably recalled the scenes he saw in his parents' room during his childhood.
From then on he knew that desire was dirty and cheap.
It forces them to shed their human skin and indulge in the bestial desires in the shadows.
It's too dirty.
"..." Galliard pursed his lips in silence. The blood flowing in his body was also dirty. In the shadow that no one could see, beneath his warm and gentle smile, the white gloves on his palms were stained red bit by bit.
But he seemed not to feel the pain of the wound.
After taking a deep look at the empty desk, Galliard turned around silently and walked upstairs.
Recently, the Todd family has been favored by the Third Prince, and they are at the peak of their power and are arrogant. They are also jealous of the energy production project that they have obtained in cooperation with the Third Army.
So this matter is definitely related to the Todd family.
011 stared at his back, his wet little nose twitching in confusion. "Why do I smell blood? Am I mistaken?"
There weren't many people where Galliard was, so the scene just now didn't attract much attention.
The red panda looked around and found no one was injured.
"Never mind, host. We can use this opportunity to be a spectator and point fingers at Galliard from the crowd." 011 rested on the host's shoulder, his tail wagging proudly.
[Host, let's follow them.]
Fly legs are meat anyway.
A strategic villain like him always comes out on top!
Lu Tai ruffled the hair on his head, then seriously smoothed it out. "You can wait a bit. The people who designed Galliard will definitely need an audience for this. It won't be too late to go up after we get word from upstairs."
"Let me help you tidy up your fur first, it's a little messy."
He unnoticedly blocked the red panda's sight as it eagerly followed the blond young man in the background.
[Is my fur messy?] 011's attention was instantly drawn. He was a panda who loved beauty. Upon hearing this, he quickly grabbed the host's other hand and placed it on his ear. [Host, please help me fix it. I need to put my look on display at the year-end commendation ceremony!]
So every frame has to be perfect.
The red panda completely forgot about rolling around in the snow during his virtual Qixing experience.
Lu Tai felt the soft fur rubbing against his chin, but there was still no change on his face. In fact, if he had a tail, it would probably have turned into a propeller, but on the surface he still said "hmm" very seriously and reservedly.
011 was only thinking about his own Maomao, so naturally he didn't notice the scheming of his host, who had always been a good dog around him.
The red panda paid attention to the situation upstairs, waiting for the sound in the plot to appear so that he could run over and grab a good position. He was so focused on the surrounding situation that he was invisible in his eyes.
[The host is so awesome, if only he could be a professional hair groomer...] 011 is enjoying the host's hair grooming service.
However, before he could finish his words, the tall humanoid comber holding him suddenly shook violently. The little panda looked up and found that what had just happened to Galliard was happening again to his host.
The host's formal dress, which he had spent a lot of money on, was stained all over by the red wine that was splashed on it.
011 jumped up in shock, indignant at the sight of his host, who was about to become a stray puppy. "Host! Don't be afraid! Make him pay us! We spent a ton of star coins on this dress!"
[Host, don't feel embarrassed. We are villains and we have to be tough like this!]
The red panda stood in front of the host with his hands on his hips and a fierce look on his face.
Is there some kind of mystical secret to this path? Not only was Galliard splashed just by the side, but this time even his host, who was standing behind the table, wasn't spared.
So 011 thinks this person must have done it on purpose!
Just when the red panda thought that the host was going to be bullied and was about to cover the weak host's ears, he found that the person who poured the wine on him actually admitted his mistake with a good attitude.
The elegant older woman who had just been following Galliard approached this side without knowing when.
Aunt Qin looked apologetic and winked at the male servant. "I'm sorry, sir. We will definitely pay more attention in the future. Please come with me to the lounge to change clothes. I will bring him to apologize to you after the party."
As she said this, she handed over a few tissues.
"..." Lu Tai looked at the other person. He was a cautious person and would always think more when encountering things. He glanced at the upstairs where there had been no movement, thought for a while, and finally nodded.
The points you can get by just pointing fingers in a crowd are definitely not as good as those you can get by making a big deal out of malicious intentions.
The red panda also thought this was a good opportunity. He patted his host's face affectionately with his tail. "It's okay. Galliard just went up there not long ago. We can just pretend we don't know the way and just walk in unintentionally. Let's make this a big deal and let everyone know!"
If I exchange the points I earn for star coins, I can definitely buy several suits like this.
"That's troublesome." Lu Tai looked at the butler in front of him and nodded politely. He took the little panda in his arms and followed him upstairs.
011 looked around all the way. "I don't know where the lounge where the incident happened is. Why did that damn Galliard buy such a big house? Damn rich people!"
Because there were strangers nearby, Lu Tai just touched his head and said nothing.
Just as he followed the butler to the corner of the second floor, he saw the butler suddenly stop, raised his wrist, and then a hint of anxiety appeared on his elegant and easygoing face, "Something happened..."
"I'm sorry, sir. Something urgent has arisen downstairs that I need to attend to. You might need to go there yourself." The butler glanced at Guang Nao and turned around, apologetically saying, "The third room up front is the temporary lounge. There are various dresses in there."
Without waiting for Lu Tai's response, she quickly walked downstairs while typing on her laptop.
[?] A question mark appeared above 011's head, but being the optimistic type, he quickly brightened up again. [It's good that she's gone. Now we can do whatever we want without any hindrance.]
If Galliard asks me about this later, I can pretend that I was lost.
Lu Tai unconsciously pinched the red panda's paw pad, a gesture he always made when thinking. "Why do I always feel like... this all seems a little too coincidental..."
But before he could finish, there was a sound of something heavy falling from the nearest door.
Then a powerful mental force suddenly erupted.
Although Lu Tai's level has been improved, his B+ mental strength is still not enough to face 3S. He was caught off guard as if he was trapped in a bell, and the invisible sound waves almost drowned out his heartbeat.
011 was also startled and subconsciously jumped up to hide in the host's arms, but he didn't pay attention to the angle and directly covered the host's face.
He wagged his tail uncomfortably.
[Host, why is your nose so high?!] Feeling a little uncomfortable, the evil cat complained first, pretending that he was not scared and slowly climbed down.
Lu Tai was comforted by the soft fur, and the discomfort that was suppressed by the powerful mental power instantly became much easier.
011 was extremely excited. He guessed that this room must be where the accident happened. He grabbed the host's finger and pushed the door open. [Let me think about what line to say when we run downstairs...]
The red panda's mumbling suddenly stopped when he saw the blond young man sitting on the sofa and flipping through a thick book.
[Why is this a little different from the plot?] 011 floated over and took a closer look. Galliard must have taken a shower while changing clothes. His blond hair was slightly damp, drooping softly over his gentle and warm features.
According to the plot, shouldn't Galliard be irritated, in a mess, and go crazy at this time?
How come he still looks like the usual elegant and noble young man?
The red panda looked at the book in his hand suspiciously. He didn't hold it upside down, so he shouldn't be pretending. He couldn't figure out what was going on and was about to fly back to his host when he suddenly heard the soft and attractive voice of a blond young man behind him.
"If you don't go down, I'm afraid the group of people below will come up to you themselves." Galliard said with a chuckle.
It is completely different from the mental power that contains aggressiveness.
011 was a bit confused. "Why does Galliard look like he's been anticipating this? Could it be that he's known about this whole plot all along and is just playing along?"
After all, it was the maid who discovered the incident in the plot, and what happened was all revealed through the maid's mouth.
Just as the little panda was thinking hard, a pair of large, bony hands pulled him into their arms. When he looked up, he saw the host's gloomy face, which was looking at him coldly.
Lu Tai didn't say much. He just took a quick look at the situation in the room and then carried the red panda out.
Therefore, they did not notice that Gallie behind them suddenly raised his head to look at the position of his arm, narrowed his golden eyes and revealed a thoughtful expression.
…
Lu Tai carried the little panda all the way to the stairs.
As soon as I turned the corner, I saw a group of people walking upstairs in a menacing manner. Leading them was a young man with thin eyebrows, long eyes, and very sharp corners of the eyes and nose.
When this man saw Lu Tai above him, his eyes lit up slightly before he looked at him from the corner of his eye. "Hey, you're the butler in charge of this floor, right? What happened upstairs?"
He has a very arrogant demeanor.
"Why do you care what he does? The rioting mental energy has spread to the downstairs. Why don't we go up and take a look ourselves?" The girl next to him was impatient. She pushed him away without any hesitation and continued to walk upstairs.
Lu Tai looked around with a gloomy look, but before he could say anything, the little panda in his arms rubbed against him.
The soft fur of the ears sweeps across the chin and neck.
The tall young man felt the ball in his arms, and his gloomy brows softened instantly. He retreated slightly silently like a wolf retracting its claws to confuse its prey.
He raised his finger to signal the huddled group to look at the wide-open door not far behind him.
After 011 finished comforting the host and confirmed that the host was no longer upset because of these bad humans, he looked at the humans' backs with an evil look and laughed out loud, "Run! With Galliel's violent mental power, he might even turn them into fools!"
The red panda stood with his hands on his hips fiercely, and it looked like devil horns had grown next to its furry ears.
[Hurry, host, let's go watch the show.] 011 waited to see these arrogant humans being severely beaten by Galliel. If he hadn't used his energy to protect the host in time, his fragile host would have been shocked to the point of vomiting blood from the pressure.
While the little panda was thinking this, several people from not far away had already arrived at the door.
However, because Galliard's strong mental strength did not match his elegant and noble appearance, the few people rushing in the front were immediately shocked so much that their internal organs were churning, and they leaned against the wall with weak legs and vomited blood.
011 finally let out a sigh of relief when he saw the human who had just spoken wildly to the host being pressed to his knees and unable to get up.
Lu Tai looked at them thoughtfully, and inexplicably recalled the scene when he just arrived at the door. "Yaoyao, can you help me remove the energy shield?"
[? ] A question mark appeared above the red panda’s head.
Although he didn't understand, he respected it and quickly removed the energy shield from the host.
"So that's how it is. It seems that Galliel has always known what will happen today." Lu Tai felt the pressure, which was obviously much lighter than that of the people in front of him. He was afraid that Galliel was awake and was just using this as an excuse to punish those people.
011 didn't know where he had lost track of the host, but he just couldn't understand what was being said. He tilted his head in confusion.
But to maintain his image, the red panda pretended to dust off his paws and tried to change the subject, "He won't notice us hiding in the crowd. Then we'll hide behind that shifty little mouse and pretend it was him who said that."
Although that human was thin and short, he could definitely hide if he asked the host to shrink his body.
Lu Tai: ...
He naturally knew who the little mouse was referring to, and he also understood that the red panda wanted to take this opportunity to avenge him, but he still held his forehead with his hand helplessly to hide the smile in his eyes.
Apart from anything else, you can tell from the moment you hear it that this is a method that only a red panda can come up with.
…
At the same time, in the quiet room.
Galliard slowly closed the book and looked at the group of people outside the door who seemed to be arguing. In an instant, the barrier formed by his mental power was removed and he heard rustling sounds outside the door.
"What's going on? Why does that unconscious girl look so much like the Todd family's newly adopted daughter?"
"That's right, I recognize her. How could this girl be so foolish as to approach Master Gallier? She doesn't know that Master Gallier's father is mentally ill, and it might be a family trait."
"Look at this, isn't it hereditary? His inexplicable mental outburst almost resulted in a death. Maybe he really has a mental problem."
…
As if deliberately speaking to the people in the room, the people outside the door spoke at a normal volume. Even 011, who was ready for the host to speak, felt that they were going too far.
The little panda peeked in, but found that Galliard just calmly put the book down and looked over with an unclear expression.
Her blond hair was slightly damp, sticking to the small mole under her lip, but her eyes were still as gentle and warm as ever. "Is it because the hospitality downstairs was not good enough? Why did you all come here? But I still advise everyone to leave as soon as possible..."
He was interrupted before he could finish his words.
"Galiye, are you chasing us away? Tell me what you did to my sister?" The man who was previously disliked by the red panda for his shifty eyes got up from the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood in hatred.
He said this in a deliberately loud voice so that everyone present could hear it.
Hearing him say this, the girls who had been with him in the crowd all said in unison, "Brother, don't talk like that. I really want to smell the fragrance of daylilies in the air. Master Jialiye must have been wronged."
As soon as she finished speaking, there was an uproar around her.
They were very familiar with the name of Xuanxuancao. It was a kind of star medicine that was only circulated in the black market and was not allowed to be privately cultivated. After consumption, it would react with the mental power in the body and emit an aphrodisiac fragrance all over the body.
A burst of discussion suddenly broke out in the crowd.
"Even if it's XXX, he can't do this. Is 3S's mental control so poor? Just now, when I came over, I was almost torn to pieces by his violent mental power!"
"Yes, I think he has mental problems. He's still a big shot in the combat department. What elegant nobleman? Pah!"
"That girl was so close, her brain tissue wouldn't have been shattered by his mental power. This thing would cause mental problems at best, and death at worst."
"I think he wants to kill someone!"
"Yes, and I think this little star is not as good as the well-raised daughter of a noble family. She is as weak as a dodder flower that can't live without a man. She always wants to use her skin to buy a way out."
…
There were all kinds of speculations at once, and Galliard found these words absurd and ridiculous. He looked at the funny scene before him like an outsider.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard that lively and cheerful boy's voice again, this time with a hint of anger.
What a low-brow villain! What's wrong with Little Star? He probably doesn't know that the Little Star he sees as Dodder is actually the most famous female martial arts star on Planet B. Her biggest contribution in the show is slapping people, with the highest record being slapping four people with one slap.
[She played a villain, and the two male protagonists couldn't hold her back even after hugging her waist, and in the end, one of them got slapped.]
[Don't look at her being unconscious now. In the drama, she buried someone with a hammer, and she dug a huge hole. She broke into the hero's house alone, and out of more than a dozen people, no one could stop her and drag the heroine out. Throughout the drama, no matter who tried to stop her, they were pushed several meters away with just a light push!]
011 felt that it was only because the real daughter hadn't woken up yet, otherwise this group of people might not be enough for her to defeat alone.
"..." Hearing the familiar voice, Galliard pressed his brow helplessly, which was also somewhat expected. He blinked at the group of people outside the door and turned to look at the girl who was still sleeping.
011 was still complaining, but he also knew that Long Ao Tianwen relied on the suppression in the beginning to highlight the pleasure of slapping someone in the face later.
Just when the little panda was about to jump out of anger and was about to go into hibernation to skip this part of the plot, he found that the girl who was originally sleeping suddenly opened her eyes, and then climbed up from the ground with some confusion and anger.
She seemed unable to understand why things turned out like this after she woke up, and where she came from. She glanced around before her eyes fell on the door.
The Todd family's brothers and sisters were standing at the door. They took a step back in surprise when they saw her wake up.
It was the elegantly dressed girl who first reacted, her expression softening slightly as she offered a kind admonition, "Mai Xi, how could you do such a thing and bring shame to the family? And it also caused so much trouble for Master Galliard?"
"You really should change your personality. Everything we do is for your own good. Stop thinking about those unrealistic things. It's like you stealing your cousin's cat. What's not yours is not yours."
"But I've already returned the cat. Master Galliard apologizes here sincerely. I'm sure everything will be fine."
She really acted like a good sister who loved and cared for her younger sister.
But every sentence has a deep meaning.
The crowd who had originally only paid attention to Galliard's incident were also attracted to the incident. Some people whispered, "I didn't expect that this real daughter is not as polite as the fake one. People from small places are really vulgar."
"Yeah, yeah, it looks like someone so timid dared to do something so earth-shattering."
"Mr. Todd is in for a real headache."
…
Galliard was already accustomed to those who only cared about the fun and never the truth. He glanced at the real daughter who seemed to be completely shocked by the scene before her, and looked away without any disappointment.
I just find it a bit boring.
Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard the boy's gloating voice, "It's over, it's over. Everyone here is finished. Maxi will never allow anyone to touch his cat. His original anger was probably only 70."
[My anger level is now off the charts.]
As expected, just as the boy finished speaking, Mai Xi rolled her eyes mechanically like a robot that had just been injected with a soul, "Did you just mention my cat?"
She has a rather harmless appearance, and her voice is soft and quiet.
But no one expected that after uttering the last word, this little white flower suddenly rushed to the fake daughter and slapped her.
"What are you doing! You lunatic!" Master Todd next to him was frightened and hurried to pull it but found that he couldn't pull it at all.
The red panda next to him almost burst out laughing at his expression of having his clothes shattered by his worldview. He patted the host with his paw and said, "Let's stay away from the battlefield. I'm worried that if Maxi gets angry, even a passing dog will get slapped."
As 011 said this, Master Todd was forced into the battle, and was dragged by the hair and slapped.
"Miss, what are you doing? You are so rude. How could you hit them? I'm going to tell the master about this!" The old butler, who had been pretending to be dead and rushed over when Todd was beaten, hurriedly followed to separate them.
Then he was grabbed by the collar and pushed to the ground, and forced to kiss Todd who was lying on the ground.
Mai Xi still had that soft and weak look on her face. "I hit them but not you, didn't I? Ever since I was brought back, you've been swearing at me every chance you get and wanting to kick me out of your house. Did you secretly eat your shit?"
"Little greedy cat, since you like to eat so much, and your old housekeeper is a qualified candidate, then eat more! Give it to me!"
As the girl spoke softly, some of the onlookers who were still able to stand and make comments all fell to the ground and were forced to kiss each other.
"She truly is the most outstanding female martial arts star! If she were my host, I'd be so surprised..." 011 was stunned. Midway through her words, she suddenly remembered her host and quickly tried to please him, "Of course, in my eyes, my host is the best!"
The little panda spoke very sweetly, but in fact, he was staring with starry eyes at Mai Xi who was fighting in the crowd and couldn't be stopped by more than a dozen people.
Wow, someone was held down again.
Just as the scene descended into chaos, Mrs. Todd finally arrived from downstairs. Seeing the injured child, she began to question Gallier, "Why did your mental power suddenly go haywire? There are so many children here, and with your talent, if you can't control them properly, they'll all become idiots."
When she arrived, she was surrounded by a group of people.
So when they saw the wounded lying on the ground and the girl who had just been brought back from a remote planet, standing aside with her clothes torn, pretending to be the biological daughter of the onlookers, they naturally thought that all this was caused by Galliard.
The son in her arms spat out a tooth and wanted to say something. Mrs. Todd pressed his lips distressedly and said, "Don't be afraid. Mom will definitely seek justice for you."
He didn't notice the different expressions of the people around him at all.
"Mrs. Todd, this matter..." With the elders coming over, Galliard felt it was not appropriate to continue sitting and watching the show, but before he could open his mouth, Mrs. Todd stopped him sternly.
"I've heard everything."
"Mai Xi was wrong to drug you, but I absolutely don't believe that a 3S-level psychic like you can't resist!"
"Your mental outburst hurt so many people this time. If you have any opinions about my Todd family, you can speak directly. Don't hurt my innocent children."
…
Mrs. Todd spoke righteously, not giving the blond young man in front of her any chance to speak.
Seeing this, Galliard smiled without saying anything. He glanced at the back of the crowd, where the parents, who had probably just received the news and were now coming here with the Crown Prince, were filled with anger. "I can understand how you love your son so much, but you seem to have misunderstood one thing."
"The person lying on the ground has nothing to do with me. It wasn't the Xuanxuan grass that caused my mental power to riot, but the S3 peak potion."
As soon as the words fell, the surroundings instantly became quiet.
"I'm really curious why your daughter gave me a potion that could stir up a turmoil in my spiritual sea." Seeing the sudden change in everyone's expressions, Galliard smiled again and said, "It's okay for me to embarrass myself in public, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here today."
"So for the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I have not left the scene and want to get to the bottom of this matter."
The light and magnetic voice turned the situation around in just a few words.
Looking at Mrs. Todd, whose expression suddenly grew tense, and the Crown Prince, whose brows gradually furrowed and his expression became somewhat solemn, 011 was so surprised that he could have stuffed an egg in his mouth. [With just two sentences, he put all the blame on the Todd family.]
Galliard is so powerful. I'm afraid he hasn't made any move just waiting for everyone to come up so that he can use the same trick against the Todd family.
"Ridiculous! You're slandering us! The air is filled with the scent of daylilies!" Master Todd, lying on the ground, was stunned when he heard this and spoke incoherently, "If it was S3, how come we're all fine?"
He clearly just tricked Mai Xi into taking Xuanxuancao!
Everyone present also reacted when they heard this.
The working principles of S3 and Xuanxuancao are similar. They both interact with mental power, and then gradually spread through the host body to guide the surrounding mentalists to riot.
How could it be possible that only Galliard had problems?
However, just as everyone's thoughts came to light and before they had time to refute, they suddenly felt a strange yet very familiar impulse coming from their bodies.
Someone immediately noticed something was wrong, "Oh no! My mental power is about to riot!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him realized that they were in a mental turmoil, and they also understood why Gallie had advised them not to get close and leave as soon as possible.
"Your Highness, this place is too dangerous. It might be the work of those lunatics who came here." Galliard's father frowned.
Looking at the child in the distance, his original anger gradually turned into a faint disgust. He was so stupid that he fell into the trap so easily, turning the birthday dinner that should have been going on normally into this.
He looked away without hesitation and turned away without even glancing at the young man behind him.
Galliard had long been accustomed to it, and no one could have imagined that beneath his calm and gentle appearance, he was actually enduring the pain brought about by the mental turmoil.
It's not that he doesn't feel pain.
Just used to it.
Just as Galliard was about to return to his room and put the books on the table back on the shelf, he suddenly heard the boy's incredibly lively and cheerful voice again. [Although the plot has changed a bit, we still judged the villain's mission a success!]
[The villain value suddenly jumped to 7%, and we got 700 points in one fell swoop! Gary is such an angel!]
Hearing the familiar voice beside him, Galliel paused and smiled, his tone unnoticed, a relaxed and indulgent tone, "You're really easy to coax."
After several meetings, he roughly deduced that the boy seemed to want the young man from Lu Tai to do something bad.
It’s just that I’ve been too busy recently and haven’t had the chance to practice.
So when he found out that something was going to happen this time, Galliard planned to have Aunt Qin call Lu Tai over to test how bad the thing was. He didn't expect that the young man would be so happy.
The gentle eyes of the blond young man finally became warm.
"What is this?" Galliard returned to the room and was about to put the book on the table back on the bookshelf, but suddenly noticed that there was a small gift box at the corner of the table.
The bright red packaging looks like a small apple.
He stretched out his pale knuckles and just about to pick it up, but accidentally touched the note stuck on top, and a piece of homework paper that looked like it had been torn from somewhere fell down.
Galiye bent down to pick it up, his gentle eyes fixed on the four crooked words above, his thin lips moving slightly, "Happy Birthday."
He stared at the words above.
Although it was not mentioned above, for some reason Galliard always felt that the gift giver would be that young man.
"Well, it can be seen that you put a lot of effort into writing it. What kind of gift will it be?" There seemed to be only a brief silence, and Galliard seemed to have disappeared from his distraction just now. He placed the small gift box on the only clean small round table in the room with some care.
The red wrapping paper was opened, and a lifelike little panda was revealed in the transparent gift box.
Galliard poked it with his fingertips as if afraid of damaging it, and the crooked little ears on it shook instantly, as if the red panda would turn into a little bald cat in the next second.
He quickly retracted his gaze, then paused as it passed through the red panda's eyes. He hesitated, "Is this... a camera?"
——
011 didn't know that his plan had been exposed.
He followed the host downstairs and saw from afar that the crown prince was protected by a group of guards, while Mrs. Todd was wiping her tears and crying beside him.
"Your Highness, please trust us. My husband's loyalty to you is as pure as gold!" Mrs. Todd's eyes were red, but she continued, "It must be Meadow. He's jealous that you're leaning towards handing over the development of Planet S to my husband! That's why he staged what happened today."
At this point, Mrs. Todd glared fiercely at the brother and sister who lowered their heads and dared not speak.
It's all because of these two idiots. I don't know how she and Todd gave birth to such a thing. It's almost killing them all.
The Crown Princess' expression was calm. She still looked peaceful and gentle, as if she didn't care at all about what had just happened. "Of course I believe in the Todd family's loyalty to the Moss royal family."
"It's just that something like this happened today, and I have to take responsibility for the students present, so I hope you can cooperate with the investigation."
She picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Your Highness..." Mrs. Todd felt uneasy looking at the two silly children beside her, but since the Crown Prince had already said this, she couldn't say anything more. "Mai Xi, why haven't you seen your father? Let's go look for him together."
She waved to the little daughter she had just recognized.
Seeing Mai Xi nodded, Mrs. Todd stood up and smiled politely at everyone.
"Mai Xi." After she left everyone's sight, she looked at her daughter beside her with a worried look on her face. "This time, your brother and sister went too far. Mom will definitely punish them for you. After all, we will always be a family."
Mrs. Todd looked at her daughter's face and spoke, the meaning of her words was obvious.
"I understand, mother." Mai Xi nodded, as if she didn't care that her mother had allowed her to be bullied by the two indigenous people in the family during the month since she came back.
…
The red panda saw this scene from afar and was shocked at how quickly humans could change their faces.
011 frowned in worry. "Will Maxi just switch sides like that? Wouldn't that expose Gallier's deception of the royal family?"
If Galliard is arrested, there will be one less protagonist he can fleece in the future.
"No, what we know now is that poison was definitely used. As for what kind of poison was used, that is not something they can decide." Lu Tai rubbed the red panda's ears and explained.
Although there is reason to presume innocent, the biggest witness, Mai Xi, is right in front of us.
To be honest, no one cares what the poison is.
Because of Galliard's operation, almost everyone now believes that it was the Todd family who poisoned him, causing his mental power to erupt and almost hurt others.
011 nodded, half understanding. "Unless the Todd family can produce evidence that he poisoned someone, but not S3."
Most people who poison others would immediately clean up the mess. Who would have thought that there would be such a mess to deal with later?
"Yes, Yaoyao is much smarter than me. I didn't even think of this just now." Lu Tai worked hard as a hair groomer.
He was holding the little panda and was about to find a place to sit down when Yu Guangzhong noticed a figure suddenly rushing out from the side. Because he had been splashed with wine not long ago, he easily avoided the other person this time.
Because of inertia, the man was tripped by the table leg and fell to the ground.
011 was so frightened by this scene that he hugged his tail. The probability of the host being splashed with wine was too high. [Why hasn't he gotten up yet? Is he trying to blackmail us?]
The red panda looked at the motionless human on the ground. His host was already very poor, and if he lost a large sum of money because of this, he would probably become a pauper.
"..." Lu Tai looked at the familiar figure on the ground, pursed his lips, and then said, "I think it's probably not."
This kind of noble young master always looks down on others. He probably just feels embarrassed after falling down in public and doesn't know what expression he should use to get up.
011 nodded and was about to go over to see if the human had fainted when he was suddenly pushed away by a strong force.
"Why am I getting pushed again in this crowd?" The red panda looked at the woman trying to pull the human up from the ground and recognized her as Mrs. Todd, who had just gone looking for her husband. "Let's stand a little further away."
Why is his host so easy to attract hatred?
Lu Tai took a step back after hearing what Red Panda said, but this step seemed to touch a nerve with Mrs. Todd. "You knocked my son down and you still want to run away? This is the quality of students in the military academy!"
She didn't care about anything and just hugged Master Todd, who had fallen to the ground and knocked out a front tooth, and wiped her tears.
"Mom, it hurts so much. It was this lowly person who pushed me just now." Master Todd also reacted. It would be bad for him to say in front of so many people that he had lost more than he gained.
He felt his mouth full of blood and stared fiercely at the tall and handsome black-haired young man in front of him.
This damned lowlife, Galliard's lackey!
He must have known that Gallie's mental outburst was not caused by Xuanxuancao at that time, but this inferior person pretended not to know and lured him into a trap.
No wonder this person was watching them from the outside and had no intention of getting closer.
Outside the crowd, some onlookers who had just witnessed this scene burst out laughing when they heard this, muttering to their friends, "These Todds are truly shameless. They just framed Master Gallier and now they're bullying civilians. It's clearly Master Todd who's trying to push them around..."
However, before he could finish his sentence, he was frightened by Mrs. Todd's sudden look at him.
"Even so, he has done nothing wrong? He must be deliberately taking it out on my son." Mrs. Todd frowned and said, it would be awkward to repeat what she had just said in front of so many people.
011, who was lying on the host's shoulder watching the fun at the moment, was stunned when he heard her accusation.
[How could there be such a shameless person in this world who tried to push someone and ended up falling, only to then start blaming the person he pushed for not standing properly?]
Galliard, who had just come down from upstairs, heard the boy's unbelievable voice from a distance.
He probably guessed what had happened. The Todd family was a rising star version of a nouveau riche family. It was unknown how they had won the favor of the Third Prince, and they usually acted arrogantly.
Having just embarrassed them so much, they dared not take action against the Meadow family and would naturally pick on the weak.
Lu Tai, who had previously shown the way, became the outlet for his anger.
Galliard sighed slightly, but quickly determined the distance of the young man's voice and walked towards the source of the sound. "I didn't expect that it would be my turn to be embarrassed in public so soon."
He still remembered what he had said when he saw Fran being forced to eat something that tasted like carrots.
I didn't expect it to be achieved so easily and quickly.
——
Most people like to watch the fun, and this is no exception even in the interstellar age. Soon, circles of people gathered around Lu Tai.
[QAQ Host, woooo, this is the first time I've encountered such an unreasonable person.] The red panda is almost exhausted.
No matter what the matter was, Mrs. Todd insisted that her host deliberately caused her son to fall. During the process, several people tried to argue with her, but in the end they were defeated because they were not as quick-witted as her.
Just as 011 was considering whether to resort to extreme measures, a gentle voice suddenly rang out from the crowd, "Good night, Mrs. Todd."
"I've actually been watching for a while. I feel very happy to meet a mother like you who understands the big picture." Galliard walked out slowly from the crowd, looked at the two servants beside him and continued to speak with a smile.
"Hurry up and clean the floor. My birthday party isn't even halfway through yet."
He slowly stepped over the broken glass on the ground, recalling the boy's weak voice just now, and the emotion in his eyes turned cold. "Since you are so understanding, why don't you first talk about the loss your child has caused to the Meadow family today?"
As Galliard finished speaking, Mrs. Todd, who was holding her son and wiping her tears, opened her mouth awkwardly but no sound came out.
She didn't expect the other party to speak for an inferior person. Seeing more and more people gathering around her, she rolled her eyes and could only wipe her tears without saying a word.
I thought I would gain sympathy from the people around me, but in the end, the whispers became more and more.
"Where the hell did Todd go? When he was away, his family was bullied and turned into slaves!" Mrs. Todd knew that she probably couldn't win the argument with him, so she could only open her computer and cry.
But just like before, the message he sent this time fell on deaf ears.
Just as Mrs. Todd was about to leave in disgrace, a familiar voice came from behind her, "Galliye, isn't it a bad idea for so many people to bully a poor mother?"
The man approached with a gloomy face.
"Your Highness," Gallier said calmly, "that's far too harsh. I'm discussing this loss with Mrs. Todd. Even brothers have to settle accounts."
The third prince sneered when he heard this, and stared at the mother and child on the ground with a sinister look without saying a word.
"Your Highness, you are finally here! I don't know where Todd has gone and there is no sign of him until now!" Mrs. Todd wiped her tears, as if she had seen a savior.
The Third Prince and the Crown Prince have always been at odds, and Galliard's family belongs to the Crown Prince's faction, so there is definitely hope now!
She lowered her head to brush off the dust on her body, and therefore did not notice that the Third Prince cleared his throat after she finished speaking, and seemed a little unnatural.
Galliard was not too surprised by this scene.
He was about to continue speaking when he suddenly heard a familiar young man's voice. "Huh? Todd's not here? Where did he go? Let me check the plot..."
[Oh, so everything is the master's task.]
Everyone says Todd is the Third Prince's dog, but no one would have guessed this was a literal dog. He's now disappeared because he's diligently carrying out his master's mission in the secluded bathroom in the southwest corner.
What does the mission mean? Why is Todd being a puppy instead of a mission? Are they playing some kind of game?
Of course, the final result of so many problems was that the red panda was punished by the host on the spot. Lu Tai covered the red panda's ears as if it were a hot potato.
[Mmmmm!] 011 struggled and bit the host. This time, he really encountered something he was blind to.
The red panda, extremely curious about human relationships, broke free and floated excitedly in mid-air. "Host, host, this Ace love game of theirs feels really weird. Why does the Third Prince have to look like his uncle in order to play with him?"
011 was very confused about this. The plot said that the third prince was willing to promote Todd because he looked like his uncle.
Why are there requirements for appearance to play a game?
However, the host refused to tell, so the red panda had to give up.
Galliard fell into silence.
He probably guessed what was going on, and a physical disgust crawled through him like ants. The next second, he heard the young man's mumbling voice, "Gallier is so weak, he feels so pitiful when the Third Prince says these words to him."
[Then later, when I sneak into the puppet house and pretend to be a ghost and ride on his neck, I won't scare him to tears!]
