"I gave up on Aria."

When Watson said such words and made it into Fangli's ears, Fangli's brows couldn't help but raise slightly and stare at the past.

Just so happened to be looking at Watson.

The atmosphere between the two suddenly became subtle.

And under such circumstances, Watson said unbearably: "Aren't you going to say something?"

"What do you want me to say?" Fang Li curled his lips and said, "Ask you why?"

"At least, why did the rivals give up competing with you, you should understand?" Watson said: "Although, in the true sense, we are not a rivals."

It's not a rival.

After all, although Fang Li and Aria are partners, they are not lovers. Let’s not talk about whether they have that kind of relationship, on the surface, the two have no ambiguous relationship.

And Watson's words are also a bit intriguing.

"I think you should be able to see what you said, right?" Watson looked at Fang Li and said, "I didn't come here because I like Aria."

Yes.

Watson didn't like Aria.

"The reason why I came here to fight for a engagement with Aria was entirely because of the family relationship." Watson said helplessly: "I'm not afraid to tell you that the current status of the Watson family is actually very dangerous."

In Britain, although there are so-called nobles, nobles are not that easy to be.

At least, in order to maintain your reputation as a noble, you must first make a name for yourself in society. Otherwise, even if you hold the title of a noble, it will only become a fame and reputation.

In this regard, the Watson family has done a very successful job.

The Watson family has a very high status in the financial and social circles. They even participated in secret activities and joined the Free Stonemason, an association with many famous figures and politicians. The family has emerged from generation to generation. Even Watson has become a military detective who was so young. It is conceivable how much reputation this family enjoys.

However, the secret association of free stonemasons has the lofty ideal of saving society for free.

As a member of the free stonemason, no matter who he is, he must carry out relief activities behind the scenes to a certain extent and contribute to society.

"But the Watson family's relief activities have gradually declined since thirty years ago."

Watson's expression was somewhat bitter.

"The Watson family has always had a high status among free stonemasons because of their past achievements. Even a young martial arts detective like me, who was promoted to a superior cadre and received a lot of attention. However, because we are obsessed with social success, we ignore and even despise the social responsibilities we should do. As a result, our status among free stonemasons has begun to become precarious and may be banned at any time."

Once that becomes like that, the Watson family will lose the glory of being a noble in the true sense, and then lose the greatest backing of the free stonemason, and eventually decline in the financial and social circles.

"In order to save this situation, the senior leader of the Watson family hopes to be rescued through marriage with the Holmes family."

Watson explained so.

"Although the Holmes family did not join the Freemason, they have always agreed with our activities since a century ago. If we can get help from the Holmes family, we can get rid of the current situation and regain the glory of the past."

For this reason, Watson had to marry Aria.

In other words, for Watson, Aria was just a bridge to save the family crisis.

The reason why Watson targeted Fangli everywhere was not because he really liked Aria, but because of the establishment of the engagement itself.

"For this engagement, both my family and me have made different sacrifices."

Watson's voice became lowered and he said this.

"Like me, I have been trained as an excellent man since I was a child, and I am no longer myself."

Watson thought Fang Li didn't hear this sentence, but Fang Li keenly took it into his ears.

So Fang Li looked at Watson with a dull face.

I have to say that Watson's face looked somber that there was a feeling of a pitiful girl who was about to cry.

Looking at Watson like this, Fang Li remembered the name Riko called Watson on the sky tree yesterday.

"Miss Ninja in Western Europe."

This title, this expression, and Watson's speech just now, "Cultivate as an excellent man", Fang Li seemed to understand something.

However, Fang Li didn't say it out loud.

There is only one question.

"Since your engagement with Aria is so important, why did you suddenly give up now?" Fang Li asked, "Isn't that related to the future of your family?"

"That's right, but yesterday's experience has clearly told me that I have no chance of winning in the face of you." Watson said very calmly: "It was not until now that I understood why the Free Mason refused to obey my advice and chose to join my family, but asked me to continue to observe the dynamics of the division, especially yours."

Watson believed that his strength was not weak.

At least, among the Free Stonemason, Watson is a top-notch spyman, with a rating that is even higher than the S-rated ratings in the martial arts world and is even stronger than the average S-rated s-rated martial arts reconnaissance.

But facing each other, Watson didn't even have the power to fight back.

"Even Hilda who entered that form is not your enemy of one move. I want to win Aria in your hands, so there is really no chance of winning."

Watson made a very refreshing statement.

"So, I have decided to give up Aria and suggest that the Free Mason join the division. This is also the result of my negotiations with Joan of Arc and Tamamo yesterday. Otherwise, I would not be able to recover my freedom immediately and meet you here."

Of course, Watson will make this decision because he saw Fang Li's strength yesterday.

"I think that the winning rate of the division with you will not be lower than that of the family members." Watson said solemnly: "After all, there are also existences in the family members that exceed the general specifications, just like you in the division. I came to the conclusion that the division had no chance of winning was because of this."

That's why Watson kidnapped Aria and wanted to use this to tie a thread with his family and let the free stonemason join his family.

If they could be fully active in the Battle of the Far East, the Watson family's status among the free stonemasons could be somewhat consolidated. Even if they did not marry the Sherlock Holmes family, they could save the family's crisis.

"Now, I plan to take a gamble on you."

Speaking of this, Watson stood up, came to Fang Li's side, patted Fang Li's shoulder, and spoke like this.

"If you fail, then I can only continue to compete for Aria."

After saying that, Watson left the restaurant.

There was only one person left, looking at the table of high-end dishes in front of him, and smiling slightly.
