Why it never ends

Chapter 1093 New Customers

That night, Rico lay in the room next to Pakat and couldn't fall asleep.

All day long, she recalled everything that happened during the day, how Stella suddenly burst into tears, and how Pacat gently hugged her to comfort her. At that time, she was sitting above these people and listened to the whole conversation without paying attention.

"The dead will come back to us again and again..."

In the dark room, Li Ge murmured to herself. Suddenly, she frowned hard, as if she wanted to forcibly cut off some emotion that was flowing on its own.

A beam of light poured into the room from her window. It gradually grew stronger and then disappeared completely, leading Rico to the window.

Late at night, Arevalo's car stopped in front of Hesta's main house.

Although many people in the main house had already gone to bed, this deadly scene still pulled many people out of bed. Victoria came out wearing a coat and looked outside with some caution.

"This is it, Governor." Hesta said, "Our last guest room was occupied a few days ago. You will have to stay in the study tonight."

"It doesn't matter." Arevalo whispered, looking forward, waiting for the secretary in the passenger seat to get out and open the door for him. "I always believe in you."

Hesta smiled.

Victoria had already walked out the door of the main house.

Hesta stepped forward and whispered to Victoria about everything that happened tonight. When Victoria heard the word "assassin", her eyes inevitably became sharp, but she was interrupted by Arevalo's greeting in an instant.

"...I recognize you." The old man looked at her, "You were the leader of Tan Yi's hunting operation."

"Hello." Victoria stepped forward and shook hands with the old man. "I'm sorry to hear such news."

"Perform your duties," Arevalo said solemnly. "Whatever cooperation you need from me, ask me."

"of course."

Hesta called out "Santa!" towards the house, and Santa walked out of the house with a sleepy look on his face while tying his belt.

"Take the Governor to the study and make him a bed."

"This way." Santa led the way very naturally.

Arevalo felt a little annoyed at the nonchalant reaction of the woman in front of him. Apparently, this local woman who was still dozing off had no idea who she was leading at the moment - Hesta had clearly pointed out his identity just now, but this woman either didn't understand what "Governor" meant or didn't pay attention at all.

"There is no safer place than here," Hesta said to the secretary beside him, looking at the Governor's back, "The Governor is now surrounded by mercury needles. I think you can rest assured."

"I'm afraid it's not enough," said the secretary, "Back then at Tan Yi..."

Hesta glanced at him with some displeasure: "Safety is relative."

"Then I'll come back tomorrow morning."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

……

The next morning, Zoe was awakened by a fierce quarrel downstairs before she got up. She and Ende both put on their clothes and went out, and saw a strange old man in the living room going crazy.

The two of them frowned at the same time and were about to step forward and shout to stop arguing when they saw Victoria and Hesta sitting calmly opposite the old man.

“…Who is this person?”

"I don't know." Zoe looked at the situation downstairs. "It doesn't look like he's an ordinary old man..."

"how do you know?"

"It doesn't take two of them to deal with an ordinary old man."

Ende uttered an appreciative sigh. "Governor... I heard your request." Hesta finally stood up. "Now, can you please suppress your fear and listen to what we have to say?"

"You said!" Arevalo was furious. "The second day after I came here, you told me that you would be away for the next week!? Who will protect my safety?"

"This is not an absence." Hesta said softly, "This is a..."

Victoria didn't say anything. She wanted to see how Hesta was going to explain to the other side that he was going to the south to meet the small leader of the revolutionary party.

“Take the initiative.”

"Hmm..." Victoria let out an intriguing sigh.

Arevalo's breath hitched.

"Don't forget, Governor. I was the first one to discover the assassin's traces. I have ample experience fighting against it. No one knows the assassin better than me."

"You have felt the traces of the assassin, haven't you?"

Hesta didn't answer, just smiled.

"…But this could be a trick to lure the tiger away from his mountain." Arevalo's cheek twitched slightly. "Tell me, what did you find out?"

"Perhaps you know that not all the mercury needles from the original 12th district have left here?"

Arevalo's face hardened again.

"You're going to meet them...?"

"Not really." Hesta looked at the man's expression thoughtfully, "But tell me, what were you thinking about just now?"

“…They are a bunch of liars,” Arevalo said, “but their lies are so…real.”

Victoria frowned: "You also think that the assassins this time are likely to come from these mercury targets that have left us."

"Why don't you just call them by their names?" Arevalo said coldly, "Do you still think I'm trying to trick you at this point?"

"I believe you are sincere," Hesta whispered, "but I want to hear it from you in person."

Arevalo's cheek twitched again.

"Deep Anchor."

……

In the afternoon, the two went to the horse farm to see Eucalyptus, who was concentrating on combing the hair of a young mare. The two watched from a distance for a while, and then each took a horse out for a stroll.

At this moment, the farm looks like a piece of melting butter in the sunlight, with the sunlight pouring down through the gaps between the green leaves like a layer of gauze.

"When are you going to report to Office Two about Arevalo's contact with Deep Anchor?"

"Wait for me to come back." Hesta said, "I won't be gone for a week, three days at most. I am mainly worried about-"

"While you were away, Welsin came to visit," Victoria continued.

"Yes," Hesta said, "If she comes, can you hold her steady?"

"How can we keep it steady and prevent her from seeing Arevalo?"

Hesta scratched his head. "We really can't let Arevalo live here forever... but this is the most convenient way to get information from him."

The two were speechless for a moment, and suddenly, they both heard a human scream.

Hesta and Victoria looked up almost at the same time - in the distance, a woman was grabbed by her hair and pressed to the ground like an animal.
