"Mr. Allen probably came back with my incompetent nephew."

Dalton said with a smile, his whole body seemed extremely peaceful, and he did not have the aura of drawing swords towards each other as Allen imagined.

"This must be something you already knew, why ask more?"

Alan didn't know what the other party was thinking and replied casually.

However, this should be correct. After all, the attack they were attacked on the train must have been the other party's actions, so their arrival and identity must have a corresponding understanding of the other party.

"I actually want to know what kind of reward my nephew gave you so that a silver-level strong man could help him without leaving any effort?"

Dalton's tone was very sincere, and he looked at Allen with a little curiosity in his eyes, as if he was just talking casually.

"At this time now, is the answer still important?"

Alan couldn't figure out the other party's context and replied vaguely.

To be honest, he didn't understand why the other party invited him to sit down and had such an almost nutritious conversation with him.

As he said, since both sides were bayonets and fighting each other, how could there be a possibility of easing? Since that is the case, what is the meaning of knowing why Allen went south with Austin.

Could it be that the other party is still thinking about instigating a rebellion?

Allen laughed softly in his heart, as if he was really out of tune with his own thoughts.

"Of course it's important."

Dalton didn't know Allen's thoughts and answered very seriously.

Allen was subconsciously stunned, his eyes opened and closed, and all Dalton's expressions and postures were engraved into his eyes.

Dalton's image at this time is indeed a bit bad, as if he has reached the end of his life, with a strange temperament mixed with a dead dusk aura and a violent and weird vitality.

The mixture of Dalton's iron-blooded and powerful force that still exists in his body makes Dalton's image more complex and vivid.

However, what impressed Alan the most was the things in Dalton's shining eyes, sincerity and desire.

It was as if Dalton was not the patriarch of the Count's family who held great power and had life and death, but was just a seeker who was eager for answers.

Even, Alan vaguely felt something deeper hidden in the other person's eyes.

It seems like the kind of passionate care for the younger generation, the considerations and concerns about the friends who are made by the nephew.

I am happy that my children have made friends and got rid of the dilemma of loneliness, but I am also worried that my children will be affected by others and will be infected with bad habits.

This joy and worry, quietly considering and loving the complexity of the house and the house, made Dalton's eyes look deeper.

Allen subconsciously shook his head, only to think his thoughts were absurd.

He even began to doubt whether there was something wrong with his [sixth sense], or whether there was an existence in the other party that was enough to interfere with his perception.

After all, what he felt was far from what was inferred from the meticulous logic based on reality.

Just when Allen wanted to explore Dalton more to determine whether he had an illusion because of interference.

He suddenly realized that Dalton's performance suddenly changed.

Dalton's expression did not change much, and the smile at the corners of his eyes did not miss the sincerity and desire in his eyes. It seemed that all this was exactly the same as before.

But Allen was sure that the other party just solidified the original superficial expression and put on a mask.

As for what is under the mask, it is difficult to see clearly for a while.

"Austin promised me enough compensation, about 1,000 empire points."

Allen said word by word, carefully observing Dalton's reaction.

But to his disappointment, Dalton's face remained unchanged and seemed to care about it.

"Of course, this is not the main reason why I agree to go with Austin. The most important thing is Mr. Austin's support for me, and the friendship between me and Austin and Mr. Bor."

Allen looked directly at Dalton's face, but did not look in a specific direction, not his eyes, not his mouth, not his nose, nor those subtle but extremely sharp facial muscles.

What he saw was everything about this individual called [Dalton Augustus], soul breath, spiritual will, physical feedback...

Dalton's figure reflected into Allen's eyes, but it seemed like he fell into a bottomless abyss, constantly sinking and diving until he fell to a calm lake reflecting the full moon, and stopped this endless journey of falling.

When looking at people with eyes, they only see the appearance of skin, fur and bones. No matter how much they see, they are just appearances; when looking at people with heart, they can see the essence, spirit, belief and will, and other things that are the most essential part of a person.

When the devil is dressed in human skin, he can naturally get involved in the crowd. But even so, it does not mean that he can become a "human".

The fraudulent means of concealing the world are enough to deceive most of the detections, but the most fundamental thing cannot be hidden at all.

However, when Allen sensed Dalton's figure in his mind, what he saw was completely different from what he expected.

A gray figure, which seemed to be wrapped in thick fog, stood quietly above the lake, unable to see the specific situation clearly.

Not only can't tell what the other party is thinking, but it can't even see the other party's appearance clearly, which is simply outrageous.

Of course, this can answer Allen's previous doubts in some ways. After all, it is not difficult for Dalton, who has such a trump card, to hide his perceptions and commit deceptive behavior.

Allen carefully investigated the specific situation of the fog, hoping to discover the mystery, analyze the composition of the fog, and achieve the purpose of cracking.

But what disappointed him was that he had worked hard but did not get the exact gain.

With a thought, Dalton's "shadow" on the lake of heart dissipated with the wind and disappeared into the world of Allen's heart.

However, what Allen didn't notice was that at the same moment, Dalton Augustus, who was sitting opposite Alan, suddenly had a three-point smile in his eyes.

"So that's it." Dalton nodded and said such an unknown sentence.

Then, he suddenly thought of something, and his body sitting on the chair leaned forward slightly, staring at Allen as if he was preying on a tiger, "What if I pay double the price?"

Alan was stunned at first, then narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Dalton, who suddenly changed from peaceful to domineering, and exuded a terrifying and oppressive aura all over his body.

"Mr. Dalton, I think I've made it clear, I'll be on the side of Austin, not only because of his promised interests."

Allen's tone was still soothing and calm, and it seemed that he was not affected by the other party's words.

However, from the corners of his slightly raised mouth, he could see his sarcasm towards Dalton's proposal.

The atmosphere that could have been called good suddenly fell silent. The communication between the two, which could not be stirred up slowly, suddenly stopped, just like the extremely cold winter, everything became slower, and stagnated like ice.

Allen remained silent and did not worry about the change in the atmosphere between the two sides, because they were not all the same people. So, let alone this awkward silence, it would not be an accident even if the two directly fought each other.

But at this moment, Alan had a little bad premonition about everything in front of him.

Although the atmosphere between the two was not very friendly and friendly, it was at least acceptable.

So why, Dalton, who took the initiative to initiate this conversation, would actively interrupt the process?

Yes, interrupt actively.

Allen believed that Dalton could not know what it means to ask this question, nor did he believe that the other party could not guess his answer.

So, why did the other party suddenly tear apart the hypocritical face and let the disguised peace disappear?

Allen guessed something, but he didn't dare to believe it easily.

If this is true, then this confrontation will be that he will lose.

This result is a bit serious.

The reason why Allen cooperated with Dalton's invitation before was mainly due to his own interests.

After all, in Austin, they are already out of town and opening up the secret library left by Deers to gain more resources and power.

Allen doesn't need to do much, just protect Austin's lair and those who follow him south, it's enough.

So, from the beginning, Allen thought about delaying time and waiting for the return of Austin, Reynard and others.

Because as long as he can wait until the Austin comes back, the current dilemma will no longer be a dilemma.

At least, if Renard is around, Allen is more than 70% sure to keep Dalton here, instead of just playing a maneuver with the other party and saying boring words.

This is not a delusion without theoretical basis, but a conclusion supported by definite evidence.

Although Allen knew that delaying time was the best decision, he would not directly decide this safest and least operational decision.

This is also the main reason why Allen played the trick that soared into the sky before.

From this result, Allen also learned about Dalton's strength, so he chose to delay time rather than attack and kill.

After all, although the previous sword was not the peak of Allen, to some extent it was the lethality of the peak of the silver level.

But with such a powerful knife, although Dalton did not save all his own people, only a few of them died under his command. Most of the others were seriously injured, but at least they are still alive now.

The most terrifying thing is that although Dalton looks like he may ascend to the Pure Land at any time, Alan is sure that the other party will not die for at least a while.

Moreover, I won’t discuss the effect of Allen’s previous attack on others, but judging from Dalton’s current state, it should not have much effect.

So, just such a terrifying person who can't see the depth and the trump card stands opposite Alan, which has forced Alan to choose a gentle way to achieve strategic goals.

After all, if you have to use strong points, Allen is really not sure.

He couldn't do anything to the other party for a while, but the other party must have the corresponding means of killing Austin's retainers in the courtyard behind him.

In this case, Alan, who was afraid of the mouse, could only do this.

But the problem is that these are all subjective decisions of Allen, and his own ideas.

The main reason is that Allen feels that as long as he waits until Austin and the others return, the current dilemma will be solved without any problem.

But now, Allen is not sure about this conclusion.
