I really don't want to cross

Chapter 397 Wood is in action...

"call--!"

Walking out of the hall, looking at the large garden outside the hall, Wood took a deep breath.

"Then next..."

Wood looked up at the sky. The moonlight at night was very bright, and he could see far away even without lights. But under this bright moonlight, there were some extremely small black shadows flying through the sky from time to time.

"This mansion is really lively."

No matter what kind of world it is, there is no lack of this kind of drama fighting for inheritance rights, but it has evolved to this point entirely because of Roswaal's laissez-faire.

Who is the owner of the branch family can be determined with only one sentence from Roswaal.

However... this poor Merod family was chosen as a tool to test Natsuki Subaru and himself.

If there is no accident, the final winner should be the second young master Bernard. Roswaal is definitely aware of this, but this is definitely not the ending he wants.

Judging from Nayue Subaru's previous description, the forces in the garden that hacked him to death should be bandits or mercenaries. Wood is more inclined to bandits, since they disguise themselves as servants. I can see it.

Because in any case, the Milode family is one of the nobles in this city. Although they don't have any titles, they still pay attention to their reputation. Otherwise, Roswaal's face will be lost, and even if they become the next Patriarch, they can change at any time. .

So to use some shady power, you must do a good job of camouflage on the bright side, even if you can see through it at a glance, but as long as you insist that this is the subordinate you recruited, there will be no problem.

As for whose backers they are, it's easier to guess, and only the fourth young master Wei Hailuo, who has no brains but thinks he's smart, would seek help from such...powers that will cause endless troubles in the future.

Although the third young master Pat always put on an arrogant appearance of 'I see through everything', his personality is considered rigorous, and the partner he is looking for should be someone who can benefit from each other in the future. other aristocratic families.

To unite other nobles in various win-win ways, but allowing other families to get more benefits.

As for Eldest Young Master Versan... The Milode family itself is his backer, since the old Patriarch has chosen him, they will definitely pave the way for him just in case.

But this power should not be strong, because the old man felt that with Roswaal's support behind him, the succession ceremony should be smooth sailing. Even if the other sons were dissatisfied, they didn't have the guts to resist Roswaal's decision.

And now what puzzles Wood is...

Who is the power behind Bernard?

Judging from his reaction when he finally learned that he was tricked in the last reset, he didn't seem that excited, and although he asked Natsuki Subaru's name before, he didn't seem to have the idea of ​​killing Natsuki Subaru. Some are just plain curious.

It seems to be curious... What kind of person is it that can make Roswaal take so much trouble to kill him.

A conclusion can be drawn from this, that is, Bernard is confident of getting Roswaal's approval, and he has been staring at the position of Patriarch from the beginning to the end, even before Roswaal's approval...

Wood shook his head, interrupting the complicated thoughts in his mind.

No matter who is behind Bernard, all he has to do now is... to stir up the already muddy water even more.

Unconsciously.

Wood has come to a courtyard guarded by guards, judging from the information sent back from the bats in the air.

here……

It is the place where the old master of Merod lived.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I seem to have misunderstood that girl."

Wood glanced at the guards and stepped forward, his figure gradually blending into the darkness.

……

at the same time!

"Although communicating with people is quite tiring for an otaku..."

Nayue Subaru looked at the hall behind him, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "But this is the first time I know that talking to people can be so tiring, it's all because of that bastard who said it was so scary, I'm not so careful when playing love games pass."

"Love Cultivation Game?"

"Ah~~"

The sudden words made Natsuki Subaru jump up in fright. When he turned his head to see the girl in black dress, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but move.

"Sorry, did I scare you?"

A sweet and noble smile appeared on Pei Lisha's face, and at the same time, she stretched out her hand to brush her hair behind her head and said, "But the love development game you mentioned just now seems very interesting, I wonder if you can tell me what it is? What kind of game?"

"..."

Natsuki Subaru blinked and said nothing.

"Ok?"

Pei Lisa stretched out her hand in front of Natsuki Subaru with some doubts, and then said a little funny: "Although it is a happy thing for a woman to make a man stare blankly, Mr. Wood, don't you think it's okay to talk to the other party?" Is it impolite to be in a daze when you're here?"

"what?"

Nayuki Subaru came back to his senses, and looked at Pei Lisha with increasingly strange eyes.

Ok?
Pei Lisha frowned, what's the matter with this reaction?

And I don't know why, under this gaze, she always has the feeling of being seen through.

"Are you all right...Mr. Wood?"

"fine……"

Nayue Subaru shook his head, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "It's just that I suddenly feel that the 'acting' thing is really scary, and there's also... a certain guy's eyes are also so vicious and scary."

Acting?

The sweet and elegant smile on Pei Lisha's face gradually faded, and her beautiful face turned cold in an instant.

"..."

Always felt……

It seems that I said something wrong.

Although Wood said that this woman is not a threat, this woman does not seem to be a good person... While poisoning his grandfather, he also poisoned himself.

To challenge myself in this way...

You won't become angry from embarrassment, will you?

Thinking of this, Natsuki Subaru is very manly... He took a few steps back and looked at Pei Lisha warily, clearly expressing the meaning of 'if you dare to move, I'll run'.

"you know me?"

Nayue Subaru's reaction made Pei Lisha's face a little ugly. Could it be that everything she did was known by the Mezas family?
otherwise……

Why can the young man in front of him see through his disguise at a glance?

"do not know."

Seeing Pei Lisa's reaction, Natsuki Subaru sighed slightly.

This is probably the reason why he chose to drop out of school and stay at home. The older he is, the more he understands. Some realities must be accepted or integrated, but what he chooses is...to escape from these terrible realities.

But anyway...

I can't even see through what a 14-year-old kid can see through, which still makes Natsuki Subaru feel very sad.

Think about it here.

Nayue Subaru shook his head: "However, I advise you to give up the stupid idea of ​​fighting for the head of the family. Wouldn't it be good to just live in your current identity?"

"Compete for the head of the family?"
