Chapter 344: Tears from the Embankment
"Let's not mention these for now, you should let me get up, right?"
"Is it uncomfortable to have a pillow?"
"The point is not this...23"
"I understand, I will return to my original posture now."
"So, the point is not this."
Ling Yi felt very powerless about Athena's intentional act of pretending to be stupid. Isn't he seriously injured the patient? What's more, the kiss just now, as the old enemy of the God-killer, Athena also understood the characteristics of the enemy, such as the physique that resists all magic, unless it directly affects the body.
Athena was so smart that she immediately thought of helping him recover by kissing, and didn't think about anything else at all.
Even the kiss was kissed. Although Ling Yi was not used to it, he was a big man after all, so he didn't take it much. Anyway, he was in good condition now.
"Hey, Lefa, where are you?"
After breaking free from Athena's soft arms, Ling Yi took out his cell phone from his pants and called his servant.
The other end paused for a while, and then a cold voice came.
"Ling Yi? I am Alexander Gascoin."
Ling Yi bent his mouth. This was their first official communication, although it was just a form of making a phone call.
"Oh, hello, senior."
"...I won't say anything politely. I'm in the hotel you used to stay. You can find some time to come over. By the way, I must declare that I'm not here to trouble you. At least I don't have this plan at the moment, so I'm just hanging up."
Listening to the beeping sound on the phone, Ling Yi was silent for a while. He stuffed his phone back into his pocket and stood there in a daze, as if he couldn't believe that Gascoin took action so quickly.
"Are we leaving directly?"
Athena suddenly said.
Her voice is very light, but her pronunciation is clear, and each pronunciation is extremely accurate, making it difficult for people to pretend to be wrong.
“Is that necessary?”
"Otherwise, I'm curious about what you would do."
“It’s done.”
As soon as Athena finished speaking, Ling Yi immediately answered.
After getting an unexpected answer, Athena looked shocked, but soon turned back to the iceberg face.
"No wonder I disappeared for several hours. I didn't ask what you were going to do. I'll know sooner or later. But are you now ready to obey the request of the 'killer' to deliver yourself to your door?"
"Lefar is not there too. Gascoin probably wants to discuss cooperation, otherwise his strong character would not be that easy to talk to." Ling Yi could roughly guess their thoughts and also knew the threat of Tifong to the entire UK. As long as Gascoin still wants to continue to stay in the UK, Tifong must be resolved as soon as possible.
Vobon is proud of others. He disdains to take the opportunity to add to the wrongs. He will not leave such a big prey as Tifeng for the sake of old grudges.
After this analysis, Ling Yi knew it.
It is only a few dozen minutes from Bute Park to Gaoshen Street.
The surrounding area is still so deserted, and it is estimated that in just a few months, the shopping scene that people used to visit will not be restored.
Ling Yi walked into the suite and saw the old man who loved to dress up in black suits at a glance.
He was obviously a British man but had a face similar to an Asian man and his hair was also black.
He has a tall figure and a tall figure. His outstanding temperament looks unique even if he throws him into the crowd.
"I heard that you rarely notify the host to visit in advance, so why do you feel so polite when you arrive?" Ling Yi entered the living room and never looked at Gascoin. He walked straight to the bar, pulled a chair and sat down, poured himself a glass of juice.
"Sure enough, that woman often slandered me behind my back." Gascoin didn't care so much, his arms were still on the back of the sofa, looking leisurely and relaxed. It was impossible to tell that it was his first time meeting Ling Yi, but he was more like an old friend who had known each other for decades.
"If she heard this, the reaction would have been very interesting. But when did you know that Alice and I joined forces?"
Yes, the ‘that woman’ they said refers to Princess Alice, the former speaker of the Sage Council.
"Before the Italian League completely blocked London, according to her character, no matter who was messing around in England, she would do her best to make trouble, but this time it was quieter than anyone else, and even my subordinates found it incredible."
How could Gascoin himself not find out the clues?
It's very simple logic, but this calmness is indeed extraordinary when you can maintain such clear thinking under the pressure of every moment.
"Do you feel that you have been betrayed?" Ling Yi regretted it as soon as he said that he did not give Gascoin time to speak, and chuckled and touched his chin: "Oh, I actually asked a stupid question. I'm so embarrassed."
Gascoin raised his eyebrows and looked at him with surprise.
"Why do you say that?"
"You know that we are the same kind of people."
Ling Yi shook the juice in his hand. The nearly transparent liquid was not as clear as tequila, giving people a crystal clear visual sense and looking particularly turbid.
The simpler a person is, the more he has a heart that ordinary people can't imagine.
Whether it's good or bad.
"I, Vobon, and you, cooperate to solve Tifeng, and the conditions will be available."
Gascoin was silent for a moment and suddenly spoke puzzling words.
Why is it puzzling?
"Don't you plan to threaten me with the 'hostage'?" Ling Yi frowned and asked in confusion: "Paul's niece and my woman are a good bargaining chip."
"Yes, you're right. I had this plan at the beginning, but I gave up just now. I didn't care about reputation issues. I just didn't believe that you would throw your woman and Paul's niece in the hotel and go missing. Although I don't know what trap you are planning and waiting for me, I won't follow you stupidly because we are the same people."
Upon hearing this, Ling Yi smiled.
Gascoin has indeed not lived in vain for years.
With just one inadvertent sentence, he became alert in an instant.
Put aside his unnecessary self-esteem and put on an open and honest negotiation stance. He is not ready to engage in any conspiracy, because he knew a long time ago that the strategic strength of both sides was not of the same level at all.
It's simply Hannibal who lives in the 21st century.
However, they are good at different types, so Gascoin doesn't feel inferior.
Can the Ministry of Defense and Special Forces compete with each other?
"By the way, I want to ask you a question."
"Hey, my conditions have not been mentioned yet. Is it appropriate for you to do this?"
"You mentioned yours, I asked mine."
"Then I refuse to answer."
"I'm making the decision alone, you can make two conditions. But the premise is that you have to give me a satisfactory reply."
"make a deal."
In fact, Ling Yi admires this refreshing style of behavior.
However, most of the people who can sit on the negotiating table are unwilling to give in, so they have to waste their talk. Because of this, every time a large number of large enterprises go to school to recruit, he stays in the apartment and does not go out. He saves people from being swearing and having to laugh and refuse with him. The only reason is that he will not offend others.
