Chapter 136 The Good Uncle

"Do you really need me to explain this issue?" Rodney looked reluctant.

"I'll give you five seconds to regret it."

As I said that, I stretched out my left hand: "Five!"

"Hey, I'm telling you, don't get excited." Rodney was a little scared when he saw my serious face. Although he was confident that I would not threaten his life, the physical pain was not worth it: "The truth is It's very simple. In fact, you should be able to think clearly even if I don't tell you."

"Four!"

Rodney sighed: "I really can't joke."

"three!"

"How about we stop playing?" Rodney was helpless.

I grinned and took back my left hand: "You're just kidding, just say it."

"Isn't it very simple? He just had a problem with you here, and your home was demolished over there. Anyone would be the first to think that it was him!"

"Well, that makes sense." I nodded: "Then?"

"What then?" Rodney didn't know why.

"It's not just because of this that he won't destroy my home."

"Please, how much do you want him to destroy your home!" Rodney simply couldn't laugh or cry.

"Ah, am I wrong?" I was also confused: "I am an ordinary adventurer, and he is your second brother's most effective henchman. He has different status and can judge superiors and superiors. And you also As I said, he is insidious and hypocritical. This kind of person must be very vindictive. If he can't do it in front of him, why don't he want to do something behind his back?"

"I bet you are worried about this." Rodney finally understood what I was thinking. He sighed: "You don't have to worry about this. After all, you have a backing now."

"Backstage?" I asked confused, "Who is it?"

"Me!" Rodney pointed at himself excitedly.

"You." The little bit of excitement I had just felt disappeared and turned into disappointment.

Rodney suddenly jumped up from his chair and pointed at me with his right hand, his face full of displeasure: "Why, the young master of Ai Rui City is your backstage, what else are you dissatisfied with?"

I took a breath and said vaguely: "Satisfied."

Rodney's whole body was darkened. He was in the corner of the room, making circles with his fingers, repeating in his mouth: "Am I that bad? Am I that bad?"

"Hey, okay, okay, it's not that you're bad, I just feel like you're a little unreliable sometimes." Seeing his miserable look, I held my forehead in pain.

The background around Rodney became darker, his eyes were dull, and he no longer drew circles. He lowered his head, hugged his knees, and said as if chanting a sutra: "Am I not reliable? Am I not reliable?"

So, I decided to change the subject: "By the way, your sister."

As soon as he said the word 'sister', Rodney suddenly became energetic, swooped back to the chair, and stared at me full of energy, with a rather expectant expression.

He is really a serious girl control guy.

Before I could say anything, he actually spoke first: "What, do you want to be my brother-in-law? I don't object, but it's so sudden and I feel a little embarrassed. Come on, call me brother-in-law first."

I suddenly sweated.

The impression he had just established completely collapsed.

By the way, is this guy still a girl-controller?

"Believe it or not?" I smiled darkly: "I want to tell my three fiancées what you said, and they will chase you out of Airui City with their guns on their backs."

With a cold expression, he nodded stiffly. It seemed that yesterday, he had seen the fierce spirit of the three Phoenix girls.

"Okay, tell me something real. Although you are the young master of Airui City, but your second brother is holding you back, even if you want to help me, it won't be that easy." I raised my chin and asked: "Since you said he would never take action against my house, there must be someone else secretly protecting me. Although I don't know who this person is, I guess you must know it, otherwise your tone would not be so sure. .”

"I still let you see it." Rodney shook his head and said regretfully, "I wanted to pretend to be more mysterious."

"Remember Harold?" he asked.

"That captain?" I responded, "What's wrong with him?"

"Although I don't know if it's true or not, I heard from adventurers in the past that Harold personally bought a powerful potion for you." He leaned towards me and asked seriously: "Is it true?"

I nodded: "Yeah, really."

"That's right." Rodney slapped the table and said, "This is enough to show that Uncle Harold appreciates you very much."

"You may not know, but I know very well," Rodney said: "As long as it is an adventurer that Uncle Harold admires, he will probably help him secretly, or deliberately protect him, in order to let those with potential adventurers will not be killed."

"He is really a person with great love." I said with emotion: "By the way, is this good for him?"

"I don't know about that." Rodney shrugged: "You have to ask him. Anyway, in our eyes, he is just a bad guy who is respected by us."

"Bad good guy haha" I said this word is used very delicately.

After chatting for more than half an hour, we consumed several plates of snacks, famous coffee tables and kettles, and even ran to the toilet. Finally, I felt much more relaxed, but the topic could not find its direction.

Because I found that the topic between me and Rodney had inexplicably turned to aristocratic gossip, about why the fourth uncle of a certain family had hooked up with the daughter-in-law of a certain family, and why the granddaughter of a certain family turned out to be a certain person. She is the mistress of a certain family, etc. In short, it becomes more and more irrelevant.

I wasn't interested in gossip or anything like that, but I couldn't resist his surging interest, so I had to patiently listen to what he had to say. However, as I listened, a thought came to my mind: Since he asked me to protect him My cousin, I wonder if this favor can be converted into combat skills? After all, he is also the young master of Airui City. He should have as much of this kind of thing as he wants.

Having made up my mind, I took advantage of him to catch his breath and tentatively asked, "I mean the rich man~"

As soon as the word 'rich brother' came out, Rodney shuddered out of thin air, and the way he looked at me changed, becoming weird and a little awkward: "Can you please stop calling me that? It sounds painful to me."

"Ahem, so what, I want to ask you something."

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Rodney waved his hand and said confidently: "There are really few things in Airui City that I, Rodney, can't find out!"

"Oh, I'm not asking for information from you, but I want to ask you for something."

I thought about it and felt that there was still a loophole in what I said, so I added: "Just think of it as a reward for promising to protect your sister."
