Chapter 40 Angry Woman
There is no doubt that this is a incomplete prophecy and it is unclear.
If the person who gave this prophecy was standing next to Anthony, he would definitely punch this guy in the face.
"A very strange prophecy, isn't it?" Mayor Sykes, who was sitting at the end of the long table, took another sip of wine. His already bright red face seemed to be bleeding under the influence of alcohol: "Honestly.
, I was also shocked when I first got this thing.”
Anthony read the note over and over several times, and after confirming that there were only these few lines on it, he handed the note back to the mayor.
He held the black tea cup in front of him and smiled casually: "But this is a very interesting prophecy, isn't it? Regardless of the previous ones, 'The ninth person won the crown', 'The tenth person won the crown'
"I will receive the favor of the sun," which seems to mean blessing."
Mrs. Lisa, who was sitting opposite Anthony, nodded, agreeing with Anthony's idea, and then said: "This note appeared on the table here yesterday afternoon. It is actually very strange, but everyone here knows
I don’t admit that I did it.”
"Maybe the gods did it?" Anthony said half-jokingly, but he was secretly wary in his heart.
Perhaps he is the only one among everyone here who knows that this is a game played by gods.
Soon, the dinner was over, and at Sykes's greeting, everyone except Anthony and Lady Lisa began to clear the table.
After a short period of labor, Nana said she was a little dizzy and left the restaurant to go back to her room to rest. The mayor's son looked at the girl's graceful back with a flash of emotion in his eyes.
Just when he was about to follow Nana into her room, the law enforcement officer beside him coughed loudly and looked at the mayor's son with a stern warning in his eyes.
Anthony couldn't help but laugh. He looked up at the snowflakes flying by the window and was about to leave and find a place to rest in the castle.
However, someone stopped him at this time.
"Sir, if it's convenient for you, could you please go somewhere with me?"
Anthony turned around, and the person who spoke was a young man with no sense of presence. He looked at him with very sincere eyes, put his hands on his chest, and saluted Anthony.
Frowning slightly, Anthony put his left hand on his forehead, put his right hand behind his back, and bowed slightly to the young man in return.
This is a ritual practiced by the "Akuluo" sect in the Snow Country a hundred years ago, and is rarely known in today's mainland.
When the young man saw Anthony's return gift, he immediately said happily: "My name is Crowe. Actually, in addition to the thirteen of us here, there is a fourteenth person in this official residence.
He is my father, the richest man in this town. Now we are going to deliver food to him, can you please come with me?"
"As for the reason, I will explain it to you in detail later."
"Okay." Anthony nodded slightly and did not refuse the young man's invitation. He briefly introduced himself: "You can call me Anthony."
Soon, Crowe packed up some food, and after giving Mrs. Suili a look who was still sitting at the table, the three of them left together, strolling in the long corridor of the castle and heading towards the attic above the castle.
On the way, Mrs. Suili remained silent, only occasionally looking back at the two of them.
Obviously, most of her eyes were focused on Anthony, and she rarely even glanced at her son.
But Crowe didn't notice this detail. He kept talking to Anthony in a low voice: "Actually... in addition to being a wealthy businessman, my father is also a doctor."
"Let's go," Crow said all the way. Mrs. Suili, who was walking in front, turned her head away, looked at her son, snorted, and then turned back to continue leading the way.
"Sir, although no one said it at the restaurant just now, each of us knows that the situation in this town is not optimistic. Many people have died, and many doctors in our town have also died of contracting the disease due to treatment. I
My father used to be a doctor before going into business, and now that he encounters this situation, of course he cannot stand by and watch."
A trace of sadness appeared on Crowe's face. He raised his head and looked at the ceiling with hazy eyes, and continued: "But, unfortunately, a week ago, my father was also infected by this damn plague.
Infected."
Anthony's brows frowned slightly, and he looked at the young man beside him, with a trace of hesitation in his eyes.
But the young man did not notice Anthony's eyes, but was completely immersed in his own world: "Can you imagine? Imagine the feeling of being in despair, without any treatment, and can only wait to die in pain?
"
Anthony sighed slightly, lowered his head, and moved forward slowly.
"However, my father was not depressed by this. He locked himself in the study on the top floor and began to use his own body as an experimental subject for research. He said that he must develop a treatment drug before he died, and he must save lives.
This town.”
Having said this, Crowe stretched out his hand to wipe his eyes, turned his head and smiled at Anthony, and said: "In order to encourage my father, I hope to tell him that there are people from Agnes coming to see
He, support him. I believe that he will be very happy to have someone with your status come to visit him. I heard that his research seems to have hit a bottleneck recently, and he is in a bad mood."
Anthony smiled and thought about it. During this period of history, there were only two people who survived after being infected with the disease, and both of them had very serious sequelae. They spent almost the rest of their lives in hospital beds.
Passed.
But he did not tell Crowe about this matter in front of him, but said in a gentle voice: "Okay."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! While walking and listening, Anthony kept scanning the surrounding road conditions, and more carefully observed Mrs. Suili walking in front of her.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the attic at the top of the castle.
They stopped in front of a door that was extremely ornately decorated, covered with various carvings and gold trimmings.
Mrs. Suili stepped forward, patted the door and said, "Derui, your food has arrived. Come out to eat."
The woman's voice echoed in the empty castle, but received no response from anyone.
But the woman seemed to be used to such a scene, and she added: "Don't worry, it's just me and Crowe. In addition, there is also a noble from Agnes, who was accidentally rescued by the law enforcement officer today. There are no outsiders,
The plague you contracted will not spread."
As soon as the woman finished speaking, Anthony heard a crisp "pop" sound coming from the room, like something was colliding or knocking.
Not long after, a piece of paper stuck out from under the door. Mrs. Suili bent down to pick it up, took a look at it, and said, "Oh, so be it. Besides..."
Mrs. Suili turned her head away, glared at Anthony, put her face against the door, and whispered: "De Rui, how is your research going?"
The crisp "pop" sound sounded again, and a moment later, another piece of paper was handed out from under the door. Mrs. Suili reached out to take it with great interest. But when she read the content on the note, her face turned violent.
The ground became ferocious.
"What on earth do you mean!"
Mrs. Suili threw the note away and began to beat the door vigorously, shouting angrily: "You want to swallow up all the property alone? Don't forget, I also have a share of the secret treasure! I have a share too!"
We are husband and wife, and I also own half of your property! You can’t leave me alone to swallow such a huge amount of property, absolutely not!”
Mrs. Suili's sudden hysteria startled Crowe, and he quickly went up to pull his mother. Anthony glanced at the woman, picked up the note on the ground and read it: "I will never give you this treasure.
Dirty woman. Even if I die because of this plague, you can’t get a single gold coin!”
The characters with strong emotions appear on the page, and it can be seen that the relationship between the couple is not as good as imagined.
Mrs. Suili kept banging on the door, and her beautiful face was completely distorted by the anger. If Mrs. Suili looked a little aristocratic not long ago, then she is a real shrew now.
Anthony sighed, threw the note on the ground, walked forward with Crowe, and pulled the woman away.
