Otoko Game: Male protagonists, I’m just a scumbag

Agreement?

What kind of agreement is this? Why the hell are these two playing dumb every day?

Wei Lan pulled at his hand, but he held it tightly. Richard narrowed his eyes.

"Now tell me, what's wrong with your injuries?"

Wei Lan bit the corner of his lower lip, thinking, isn't this all your fault?

He stroked Wei Lan's palm with one hand and said in a hoarse voice,

"Who is chasing you in the forest?"

Wei Lan was shocked when he heard this. The king had clearly announced to the public that the two were injured by wild beasts while hunting, so how did he know that someone was chasing him in the forest?

He sent someone to follow? Impossible, maybe he heard some news.

Speaking of which, this matter was related to him. Wei Lan frowned and then relaxed, mocking him offline:

"Thanks for killing Ankaliv. It seems your arrangement wasn't very good either."

If he hadn't written to me last time saying that he had killed the mercenary leader Ankaliv, the mercenaries wouldn't have come looking for him.

But this matter is a bit strange. The mercenaries initially targeted Hathaway. If it was the Crown Prince who killed Ankarif, then the group wanted revenge and targeted him again. But will Richard reveal his true identity?

How could he reveal his identity as the crown prince to kill a mercenary leader?

Coming back to his senses, Wei Lan suddenly felt that the movement of his hand had stopped, so he quickly pulled his hand back.

I thought there would be some action over there, but he fell silent, as if he was thinking about something.

"The injury was caused by mercenaries...?"

He suddenly raised his eyelashes, and the pupil hidden underneath was extremely clear at this moment, with a faint gold flashing with fine brilliance.

"wrong..."

He looked over, and their eyes met Wei Lan's without a gap. Wei Lan's mind went blank for a moment. He didn't expect that this madman could be so serious.

Who knew that in the next second he would suddenly curl his lips and smile, his golden pupils becoming more excited.

"How's it going, sister?"

Wei Lan was startled by his smile. What? He was like a schizophrenic.

"All the mercenaries have been replaced by my men. You said the people that day were mercenaries?"

His gaze was like that of a ferocious beast, staring at Wei Lan as if he wanted to devour him bit by bit.

"Who went with you into the forest that day, one of the slaves?"

Wei Lan was already shocked by his last sentence. Have all the mercenaries been replaced by his men? Such a light sentence was worth more than a ton.

Here, the power of mercenaries is second only to that of nobles.

Even if the leader died accidentally, there would be another candidate to take over immediately. Why would they obey him?

And the following sentence, two slaves?

What does it mean?

According to what he said above, the person who went into the forest with him was Hathaway. Of the two people he mentioned, could the other one be Lin?

"Hmph..." Richard's lips curled up frivolously, but he narrowed his eyes dangerously, with an unclear meaning:

"Since my sister doesn't want to say it, let me guess..."

"But..." He still had a smile on his lips, cold and without any warmth:

"If I guess correctly, I will dig out his eyes for looking at my sister for so long..."

Although it was just a guess, he seemed to have already determined the answer.

Wei Lan could sense the sinister and cruel nature in his words, but he couldn't detect even the slightest emotion on his face. This feeling made him extremely uneasy.

But now he is sure that since he said he had been watching his sister for so long, it can only be Lin.

But what on earth does all this relate to each other? Wei Lan felt his head swelling. There must be a thread connecting them all.

So my brain started working quickly.

"You mean, the people that day were definitely not mercenaries, but they deliberately made me think they were mercenaries? And the people who wanted to harm me are people around me?"

Richard groaned, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

"Sister, aren't you worried about what I just said?"

"This is really strange. In the past, when it came to this kind of thing, my sister would protect them even at her death. This really pissed off my brother."

He said this lightly, but one could clearly feel the hostility emanating from him.

Protect them? There is no description of the Crown Prince and the Princess in the original text.

But by saying this, he completely confirmed that he was talking about Lin and Hathaway.

Then what he meant was that the mercenaries had replaced his people, so the people who came to kill him that day were definitely not mercenaries, so who could know his whereabouts so clearly?

It means that who else could be responsible except the people around him.

But this once again overturned Wei Lan's rusty brain. He didn't expect Richard to think so comprehensively. According to his words, it was not difficult to guess that

For example, Richard had reminded the princess in the past to be careful around him, and because of Ancalif's incident, he found an opportunity and deliberately planted this clue in the mercenaries?

But according to the original text, it was not the princess who was harmed by others, but the princess who harmed others.

But in what he experienced, the two mercenaries really wanted to kill him, but they didn't do it in the end. Instead, they kept delaying as if they were waiting for something?

Strange.

At the same time he thought of a terrible thing.

If we go by Richard's statement, it does make more sense, as only people around him knew his exact itinerary and location.

But it would be very strange to say that this person is Hathaway or Lin.

After that day, he brought Lin back and found a chance to take a look at the bodies. One of the two mercenaries had his flesh torn all over his body, while the other was seriously injured but did not die in that way.

There were several other bodies, but the fatal injuries were caused by various arrows, the silver light flashing in the air...

More like a gun bullet.

But there was no such thing left in the corpses, only arrows embedded in their flesh.

If the people who harmed him were the queen, they would have great persuasiveness.

But when he met Fudu and the other man that day, they seemed to have no such intention at all, nor did they seem to be waiting for him.

Ouch, thinking about all this made Wei Lan's head ache, so he stopped thinking and said resolutely:

"Then you guessed wrong this time,"

"Not them. I went with His Highness Ryan."

"Oh? Sister, are you sure you are not lying to me?" Richard suddenly stood up, walked to Wei Lan, and lifted his face as if to carefully confirm the truthfulness of his words.

Wei Lan slapped his hand away and said in a harsh voice:

"No, and what you said is too outrageous. Why would they want to hurt me? What right do they have to hurt me?"

If Lin wanted to harm him, it would be effortless. Hathaway wanted to harm him, but that was impossible, right?

But there’s always something a little weird.

Richard looked at his hand, which he had slapped open, with a sullen face. He opened his thin lips slightly.

"It seems my sister is still worried about him... What qualifications does a lowly slave have...?"
