"Only a fool would place his hope and trust in someone who can take his life at any time." Rocky said word by word, "Don't try to deceive me, Isaiah. I am your relative.
Seeing the tongue you killed..."
"Did you really see it with your own eyes?"
"...Okay, I didn't see it with my own eyes, but it must be you who did it." Rocky said, "Where else would the tongue go?"
"Are you sure that the guy you met in Deira was Tongue?"
"certainly."
"Did he use the rule of the tongue then?"
"certainly……"
"Think it over carefully before you speak." Isaiah said calmly, "There is no point in hiding anything in a place like this. It will only hurt yourself."
Rocky choked suddenly.
"Think about it again. If the person I killed was the tongue, then where did the forbidden scholar go?" Isaiah said, "Did he evaporate into thin air? Don't say that I killed him too. It's not like there are no survivors in Nameless Town. Enough people saw that the person who fought with me that night was just one person."
Rocky was at a loss for words to refute for a moment. He had never really thought about these questions. After all, after "witnessing" Isaiah killing the tongue with his own eyes, all his focus was on Isaiah, and naturally he no longer paid attention to the dead tongue.
"To be honest, I really don't want you to be the only person I can contact right now." Isaiah's eyes gradually turned cold. "You hold such crucial information, but you don't have any doubts or actions. You let your hands and eyes calculate with such a big loophole. You believe everything he says. Even so, you still regard him as your mortal enemy? Wake up, with his methods, even if he kills you, you will doubt whether you committed suicide."
Isaiah's direct ridicule was so direct that Rocky was stunned for the first time. When he finally reacted, he wanted to slam the table and stand up: "Fuck you..."
Halfway through his curse words, Rocky met Isaiah's eyes.
Instantly, a huge panic surged into Rocky's heart, swallowing up all other emotions.
The feeling made him involuntarily feel the urge to bow his head.
"You..." The pride of Bishop Rhine made Rocky hold on without bending down. He stared at Isaiah intently, "Do you want to fight here?"
Rocky slowly raised his right hand under the table, and the only remaining thumb stood up little by little.
Your rules are powerful, but mine are not to be trifled with!
At worst, we’ll explode together!
Rocky was furious in his heart.
But at the moment when the [disturbance] was about to start, the pressure that came like a tide receded like the tide in an instant.
"Don't be nervous, Mr. Thumb." The coldness in Isaiah's eyes disappeared, and he returned to his usual calmness. "We are not enemies. Only Hand and Eye are happy to see the confrontation between us."
Rocky was still staring at Isaiah: "Isn't it a little late for you to say this now?"
"I have no ill intentions. I just want you to feel the pressure I'm under right now." Isaiah said calmly, "But your pressure should not be less than mine, because now in Taoyuan Township, there are only you and me whose identities have been exposed, so we should be natural allies. Especially... now we are both under the watchful eyes of the hands and eyes."
Rocky frowned: "What do you mean?"
"Literally, his hands and eyes are here too. I can feel his presence. Or rather, he did not hide his presence from me." Isaiah said, "He is like a cunning hunter who set this trap himself. After waiting for the prey to fall into the trap, he quietly waits for the harvest... Yes, he is watching you and me now."
