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

Richard had his back to him, his golden eyes squinting under his eyelashes.

"You are very smart."

Duke Stu was also present at today's breakfast banquet. This old fox usually hides himself like a transparent person in such occasions and never shows off.

It was probably because this knight just happened to find an opportunity last night, and this morning he jumped into the situation and told what happened last night. Duke Stu saw it all.

As long as the knight told the Duke that he approached Crown Prince William for his plan, there would be no problem.

He maneuvers between both sides, hiding himself in the middle, being the one who takes the risk but makes sure to make money.

Richard looked up at the people leaving in the distance, as well as the group of Rose Country nobles who were seeing them off. It didn't matter if this madman wasn't there.

He turned back.

"How did he let you gain my sister's trust?"

Louis's eyes flashed with surprise for a moment, as if he didn't expect that he would ask this. He instantly thought of countermeasures in his mind, trying to analyze what he meant.

Richard asked again with a cold face,

"Have you already started?"

Louis came back to his senses. After today, Richard William would definitely investigate his identity thoroughly. His previous identity should not be found out so quickly, but now...

So I made up a half-truthful reason.

Respectfully,

"No, it's just that at the beginning, the princess picked me up near the church when I was still a slave." When he finished speaking, Richard William laughed in his heart. His brother really liked to pick up things randomly.

'The princess felt sorry for me and redeemed me. Because of this relationship, the Duke thought I was useful, but the princess basically ignored me afterwards... "

As Louis spoke, he began to notice that something was wrong with Richard William's expression. He analyzed that his words should not be irritating.

"That's enough." Richard interrupted him, "Show your sincerity."

Louis' eyes flickered. He didn't expect that when Richard William guessed that he was sincere about the deal, he didn't care what the thing was at that time.

It seems to be more terrifying than the rumors.

Louis had wanted to use this item to negotiate terms later, but now it seemed that he had no choice but to give up this chess piece. He reached into his arms and took out a small rolled cowhide barrel.

There was a piece of paper inside.

Richard took it and looked at it, then glanced at Louis with his golden eyes, and then looked at the remaining half, and saw if the reverse side was broken.

"Heh—" Richard sneered.

Louis cupped his hands and said, "We have to put this thing back before the Duke goes back."

Richard ignored his words and returned the things to him. "I will send someone to find you for the rest later."

After saying this, he turned and went upstairs.

Wei Lan was lying peacefully when there was a knock on the door.

Now he was alert and didn't dare to open the door casually.

I thought it must be that madman Richard William again. I didn't know what he was going to do, so I just ignored him.

I slept with my ears covered with a pillow, thinking to myself, damn, I'm threatened by this shitty system, so why should I care about your business?

I really want to kill them with a Gatling gun.

After a while, the sound outside the door disappeared.

But after just a few minutes, Winnie's voice was heard outside.

"Knock knock knock - Your Highness?"

"Hmph——" Wei Lan snorted. Would he believe such a stupid trick?

"Where's the key?" Richard stared at him and asked, motioning him to take out the key to open the door.

"Uh..." Winnie hesitated in embarrassment. In fact, she always carried the key with her, but she didn't dare to open the door.

"Your Highness, if you have anything to say, why don't you discuss it with the princess..." she said tentatively.

Wei Lan had already run to the door and was squatting there, with his ear pressed against it to listen to what was being said outside. He thought, that's right, it would be strange if the door opened.

It's obvious that this guy has gone crazy again.

"Sister, open the door."

Richard put one hand on the door handle and spoke to the inside. His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for Wei Lan to hear.

Wei Lan dodged backwards, feeling a little surprised. His mother's voice was so soft. Did she know that he was squatting at the door?

Damn it! Wei Lan shook his head up and down and left and right. If he didn’t know, he would have thought there was a surveillance camera installed here.

"say."

His voice was heard from outside again, and his tone actually contained a feeling of "good boy, talk".

Winnie quietly fled the scene.

Wei Lan was so frightened by his two sentences that his whole body went numb. Damn, it made him feel sick and he cursed the man in his heart.

"Sister, I'm leaving this afternoon, and I have something to tell you. Please open the door first..."

Richard was outside, patiently persuading us,

"It's about... the plan."

When Wei Lan heard the plan, he wanted to get closer to listen. The person on the other end even lowered his voice deliberately, which made him feel itchy.

He had long been curious about what the plan was, whether it was due to the princess and Richard that the plan succeeded, or was it something else.

Why did it eventually lead to Richard's death?

The stupid system only allowed him to make the match and die as the queen, so as for the princess's matter, did he really have to kill Richard?

"Swear you were just talking about the plan!" Wei Lan said to the people outside.

Richard William twitched his lips: "Of course, my dear brother."

Wei Lan turned the doorknob, making a loud noise, but he didn't unlock it at all. He wanted to laugh when he thought that someone outside might think he was going to open the door.

Finally, he chuckled and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Hahahahahaha – you don't think I've been fooled, do you?"

Tnd if after so many times he still falls for it, he is either dumb or stupid.

Or maybe he has a brain that's full of nerves and is pretending to be salty tofu pudding.

"Hehehe..." Richard's low laugh was heard from outside. He had something like a wire stuck between his thumbs. While he was talking and turning, the wire had already reached into the door lock.

Wei Lan held her hands over her stomach and laughed until her stomach contracted. She thought to herself that she had finally managed to trick Richard.

Who knew that when he was laughing until tears came out, he saw the door handle turning, and then heard a sound.

He blinked, but before he could react, the door opened. He instinctively took a few steps back to avoid being hit by the door.

Then Richard's annoying face appeared at the door. The mole at the corner of his lip pulled his narrow eyes into a slit, like a fox. He asked him softly with his lips slightly parted:

"Have you laughed enough, brother?"
