Shut up, I don't want to have children with you anymore.

"It seems that everyone knows what will happen tonight. Well, I will stop talking nonsense and hurry up."

Leon pulled out a pistol from his waist, turned on the safety, cocked the hammer, and held it tightly in his hand.

Rebecca looked at the gun in Leon's hand, a trace of surprise flashed across her face, but it was fleeting, and she did not show any abnormality.

"Actually, I already know who the traitor was who framed me." Ling

After these words were spoken, the three of them just breathed a sigh of relief, without showing any signs of panic.

They were all very clear about Leon's style of doing things. This guy never fought a battle that he was not sure of.

If he says he knows who the traitor is, then he must know.

(But Rebecca thinks the captain must have made such a big scene just to show off. If she were to say, since we already know who the traitor is, we can just shoot him~)

Leon lowered his head, fiddled with the pistol in his hand, and said leisurely,

"It's a pity that the team reunited in this way after three years."

"I never thought that the person who betrayed me would be you."

Leon slowly raised his pistol and pointed the cold muzzle at the person next to him.

Martin.

Rebecca's eyes widened, the small black pistol reflected in her cyan pupils. She swallowed and said, "Captain...are you sure it was Martin?"

Before Leon could speak, he heard Victor say,

"Martin, you are unexpectedly calm. Don't you want to explain something?"

Martin was sweating profusely at this time. His current "calmness" was completely due to panic. He didn't know what to say or what to do.

The moment Leon pointed the gun at him, the area of ​​his brain responsible for "thinking" seemed to be pierced by something.

At that moment, all five of his senses failed and he could only feel his heart beating wildly in his chest.

Dongdong——dongdong——

After a long while, Martin finally opened his mouth with all his strength.

"Captain, I—"

boom! ——

There was a gunshot, and the bullet hit Martin's chest accurately.

The thin boy fell to the ground with a look of surprise and fear on his face.

"Martin!"

Rebecca exclaimed, and quickly stepped forward and squatted down, "Martin! Martin!!"

pat-

After the gunshot, Leon immediately threw the cold weapon onto the dining table.

He held onto the edge of the dining table, hunched over, and breathed heavily.

Victor glanced at the pistol on the table, then walked to Leon and gently placed his right hand on his shoulder.

"You don't have to blame yourself, Captain... To be honest, I'm also surprised that Martin is the traitor... But he made the wrong choice after all, so don't feel too burdened."

Leon's lips turned pale. He tried to support his back which was about to fall down, and raised his head to look at Rebecca.

"Get rid of him. There's a swamp not far away. It only takes ten minutes to go back and forth. If we throw him there, no one will find him."

After a brief moment of grief, Rebecca accepted the reality and carried Martin's body out.

Victor was about to look up at them, but Leon suddenly put his arm around his shoulders.

Victor quickly retracted his gaze and helped Leon lean against the dining table.

The room was very quiet. The only sounds that could be heard were Leon's heavy breathing and the sound of the body rubbing against the ground.

"Are you feeling better, Leon?"

Leon ignored it, closed his eyes, covered his heart, and adjusted his breathing silently.

When Victor saw Leon like this, he immediately lowered his eyes and looked at the pistol on the dining table.

This is your last chance.

The former Dragon Slayer's adjutant slowly reached out his hand, grasped the short and powerful pistol, and then -

He placed the muzzle of the gun against Leon's temple.

Leon felt the hardness and coldness of the gun muzzle and slowly opened his eyes, "So it's you..."

"Ten minutes round trip, enough time for me to kill you and leave here, Casmode."

Victor said coldly, "The headline in tomorrow's newspaper will be that the former adjutant of the Dragon Slayer Army executed the imperial traitor Leon Casmode, but unfortunately, he did not save the young son of a minister from him. What do you think of this story?"

Leon sneered, “You didn’t have much sense of humor before.”

"People change, Casmode. You shouldn't have come back. Did killing Constantine make you feel you were capable of challenging the Empire?"

"So the Empire and the Dragon Clan...are really colluding with each other."

Victor cocked the pistol's hammer and placed his index finger on the trigger.

"Leon, you have always been the one who beat me over the past few years. But in today's contest, you lost miserably. You failed, Leon. The one who defeated you is the one you have always defeated. Do you feel regretful?"

"Regret? I swear, Victor, you'll be the one who regrets it after you pull the trigger."

"Oh, you are indeed a dragon-slaying hero. You are still so stubborn even when you are about to die. Then... I want to see how you can make me regret it!"

The murderous intent in Victor's eyes could no longer be suppressed.

He pulled the trigger hard, ready to listen to the wonderful sound of blood splashing.

Click——

The crisp sound of mechanical snapping echoed in the room.

But there was no trace of fire.

Victor's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately pulled the trigger several times in panic.

But the pistols didn't respond at all.

Before he could figure out what was going on, Leon's iron fist hit him in the face.

Suddenly, Victor felt dizzy and fell on his back.

With the smell of blood coming out of his nose, Victor fell to the ground, looking at the indifferent man in front of him.

"You...how could you..."

"I told you, I already knew who the traitor was. You should have admitted it when I said that, maybe I could have spared your life."

It's fake, there's no way Leon would keep him.

I just said this to make Mr. Neigui regret more before he dies.

Leon walked slowly towards Victor and stepped on his calf.

The severe pain made Victor unable to move. He glared at Leon and asked unwillingly, "When did you start to doubt me?!"

"When? If I really have to say when, it was probably three years ago."

Leon said slowly, "After all, besides me, you are the only one who knows the location of each raiding team."

During the Silver Dragon Battle, after Leon was framed, the locations of all the assault teams were exposed.

The only ones who knew the locations of each team, besides the army's commander-in-chief Leon, were his deputy Victor.

"Of course, based on this alone, it is impossible to be sure that you are the one who framed me at that time."

Leon slowly squatted down and looked at Victor's weathered face.

“So, three years later, I returned to the empire and started my plan.”

"You may think that I have just returned to the Empire and am unfamiliar with everything, so you subconsciously treat me as a pawn on the chessboard."

"Two days ago, when we first met, you deliberately guided me to think and make choices according to your ideas."

"You mentioned the gift Martin gave his stepmother intentionally or unintentionally, and when the banquet started, you deliberately led the topic to his stepmother's hairpin."

"You said that it was mammoth tusks, which can be used as weapons after being enchanted. It has strong penetrating power. Hehe... It sounds very similar to the weapon that backstabbed me, right?"

"If Rebecca hadn't told me at the beginning that Martin had a bad relationship with his stepmother, I might not have gone to the party to contact Martin in advance after leaving your bar, and your trick of framing him might have succeeded."

"But unfortunately, I am not the chess piece on the chessboard, Victor. I am the one playing the chess."

Victor's heartbeat quickened and his breathing became heavy. The huge gap had caused him to speak nonsense.

"No... Impossible... Impossible!"

Leon smiled faintly and continued,

"Nothing is impossible. Oh, and your guitar pick is also an important clue to your identity as a traitor."

"You are right. Ivory is very malleable. It can be made into a hairpin or a pick to hang on your chest."

"I don't know if you think I don't know what's good or not, but how can a poor person who can only use a broken guitar afford to buy an ivory pick?"

"The best way to destroy evidence, besides burning it, is to turn it into something completely new."

After a pause, Leon added, "But combined with what you just said about 'defeated', I can also reasonably infer that you want to keep the thing that killed me with you as your own record, right?"

Victor's pupils shrieked, "Leon! Don't think that just because you beat me you have won the entire empire! The empire will definitely avenge me!!!"

Leon shook his head.

"Victor, it's not your fault that you've always been second. Victor, becoming a running dog of the empire and becoming my enemy is your biggest mistake."

"If you weren't so anxious this time, I might not have been able to see through your identity so quickly. And the reason you're so anxious is because... the Empire is putting pressure on you, am I right?"

In order to kill Leon, the Empire did not hesitate to send Constantine, which is enough to show how much the Empire wants to get rid of Leon.

Leon, in turn, took advantage of their impatience and made Victor mistakenly believe that he was following his ideas. In fact, every step Leon took was to catch a bigger fish.

In the past, General Lai never played any psychological warfare when leading his troops into battle. He would just charge in and be done with it. After all, few dragons could withstand his one tube of blue.

Why can he control people's hearts so much now?

Come on, do you think General Lai was a prisoner for nothing these two years? He also learned a lot from that female dragon.

Victor was silent for a moment, then he laughed nervously, "Yes... yes... you are right, Leon. But what about Martin? In order to catch this big fish, you used Martin as bait. When his father finds out that his son is dead, and you happen to return to the empire, guess what he will think?"

Leon snorted contemptuously, "Victor, is this the last way you can think of to make me fail?"

"What..."

"As a teammate who has been through life and death with me, you should know that Rebecca has the habit of grouping her guns, right?"

Leon took the pistol and played with it in front of Victor.

"She would take the gun apart, put it back together, take it apart again, put it back together again, and play quietly for the whole night. At the same time, in order to add to the fun, she would usually add a bullet. And this bullet... is a blank bullet for practice."

"Blank..."

"Yes, blank bullets that can't kill people."

Leon slowly stood up. At this moment, Rebecca came out of the door with Martin, who had "come back from the dead".

Martin covered his chest with a serious expression, "Captain... Blank bullets can't kill people, but they are very painful... I feel like I broke at least two ribs."

"Be a real man, bear with it. Look at Victor, he didn't even cry out in pain when I hit his nose crooked." Leon said confidently.

Rebecca helped Martin to the table, then walked behind Leon with a cold face, took out another pistol from her waist, and handed it to Leon.

Leon loaded the pistol, pointed the muzzle at Victor's forehead, and

"Do you have any more information about the Empire?"

Death was right in front of him, the smell of gunpowder from the muzzle rushed into his nose, and Victor's last taut string broke.

"Don't kill me, Leon... Don't kill me! I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, I shouldn't have worked for the empire... Please forgive me, okay? Please, Leon!"

It seemed that there was no more that could be gotten out of him.

"Victor, you don't know you're wrong, you just know you're going to die."

boom! ——

A gunshot rang out, and everything fell silent.
