Then it is most likely related to Kleist.

Faro turned around from his thoughts and looked forward.

The sound of waves could be heard faintly, and not far away there was the dreamy fluorescent light that Angelina and I saw last time.

——They arrived at Huanhai Manor.

In order to save time, Faro and his crew members had no intention of going through the main entrance.

Following Hell Creek's clues, they found a secret passage outside the manor that Elliot had specially built to enter.

------------

Eve had just finished the business at hand.

As I passed by the corridor, I was startled by Faro who jumped out of the night.

"Faro? You..."

Just as she asked in confusion, she saw Faro's serious expression.

He made a gesture to keep quiet.

Elliot may be attacked tonight

Farlow described the current situation to her as briefly as possible.

After hearing this, she was extremely surprised, but she soon calmed down.

Then, showing great quality, he ordered the operators to spread out and defend, while he went to inform Elliot and Angelina.

Angelina heard that Faro had arrived and quickly came to him.

The girl knew the seriousness of the matter, so she rarely talked much and took him directly to find Elliot.

When Farlow follows her to see Elliot.

He was smoking on the sofa, and for some reason, he looked a little depressed.

The room was filled with smoke, making it difficult for Faro to open his eyes.

Faro couldn't believe his eyes. He hadn't seen him for just one month and he had become like this.

"My brother became like this...I actually wanted to tell you later."

Angelina had a complicated expression, her eyes filled with helplessness and worry.

The latter raised his head, his eye sockets were deeply sunken.

In the past month, he has experienced a collapse of faith in his life.

Even his greatest pride—[Migrom's recognition of himself]—was denied.

When Alvis 'accidentally' showed him Milgrom's dark history, the heroic legendary wizard in his mind was shattered.

The legendary wizard who was once thought to be great and glorious turned out to be like Crest and those congressmen, with blood on his hands and even taking human lives.

Elliot suddenly felt that the faith that was once in the deepest part of his heart became extremely difficult to accept. It turned out that it had been soaked in the blood of innocent people and the stench of power and money.

The fact that Milgrom eventually passed the position of Speaker to Kleist further confirmed this fact.

[He is not a hero at all, just a coward like those congressmen. ]

This may not be a big deal for others, but for someone like Elliot, a passionate, kind, and even somewhat unrealistic idealist.

That was his belief all along.

He regards the young Milgrom as a benchmark for his own code of conduct, and marvels at his global vision and lofty ideals.

The consequences of its collapse can be imagined.

Confusion and helplessness dominated the hearts of the young congressmen.

When a person finds out that he has been deceived for a long time, he will become very extreme.

Under such circumstances, his three views suffered a severe impact and were almost shattered.

As a result, Elliot lost his ability to act, and he didn't care about anything in the potion workshop, and he even became indifferent to everything around him.

After Eve explained the situation, Farlow thought he would cheer up.

Unexpectedly, his eyelids just moved slightly, and then dimmed again.

He is a far cry from the passionate and upright congressman he was when we first met.

"Elliot, why are you still taking your time? Hurry up, didn't Eve tell you clearly that Crest will send someone to your door soon!"

"Faro...I want to ask you a favor..."

"Shut up." Before he finished speaking, Faro scolded, "Don't make a move here. Stand up and follow me."

Faro was extremely anxious now. The elemental guards might attack at any time. He wished he could knock Elliot out with a stick and take him away.

"I will give you the command of all the magic operators..."

Snapped--

As soon as the words fell, a crisp sound echoed in the study.

It was Faro who slapped him immediately.

Chapter 28: Friendship Face-Breaking Fist

The crisp sound of slapping came swiftly.

Almost no one reacted to what was happening.

No, no one would have thought that Faro would raise his hand and slap Elliot without saying a word.

Angelina and Eve's expressions were surprisingly consistent at this moment.

They all opened their mouths and looked as if they wanted to dissuade him, but in the end they said nothing.

They had seen Elliot in this condition for several days, and had not yet found a way to cheer him up.

Logically speaking, although Faro and he were close partners, Faro's behavior was tantamount to an offense and insult.

But neither Angelina nor Eve stepped forward to stop it.

Perhaps, the best way to deal with this is to give him a slap in the face to wake him up.

Such thoughts flashed through the minds of both of them at the same time.

"Look at yourself." Farlow showed a stinging look of disgust.

"So decadent, so depressed, is this the ideal state you once talked about?"

"There are thousands of operators out there waiting for you, following you. Don't tell me you want to throw everything away and run away now."

Faro's look and tone did not suggest that he disliked Elliot.

It feels more like a piece of iron that is not strong enough.

Farlow did not know exactly what had happened to him, but he had a pretty good guess.

Maybe it’s because Milgrom said himself that he would give the position of Grand Speaker to Crest.

This choice made Elliot feel disappointed and even frustrated.

Faro could understand this feeling, but this was not the time for him to act as a psychiatrist, but a critical moment when he was ready to deal with the enemy at any time.

"I told the elite operators in Hell Creek outside that the Elemental Guards could come over at any time and crush this place to the ground, but none of the operators retreated. They all stayed at their posts."

"Do you know why?"

"Because the operators trust you and regard you as a councillor they are willing to protect even at death. How could you bear to let them down?"

Elliot was obviously hurt in the deepest part of his heart by Faro's words.

An extremely conflicted look appeared on his face.

Farlow is right.

There seems to be a sense of "Your Majesty, why do you surrender first when we are about to die in battle?"

Seeing that what he said had worked, Faro quickly struck while the iron was hot.

"If you really want to give up, then do as you say. Hand over the command of all the hired operators to me, and I will tell them..."

Faro said coldly:

"Elliot has been frustrated and has lost his fighting spirit. He can no longer respond to your will."

The latter shuddered violently.

The look of fear was beyond words.

Farlow was certain that he would not easily abandon everything he had built.

Therefore, I deliberately used such words to provoke him.

Sure enough, Elliot stood up shakily.

The cigarette in his hand also went out at this moment.

"sorry...."

"I...will go back with you."

Faro nodded seriously and immediately asked Eve to take away all the things in the manor that should not be seen by Crest and others.

Things like operator files, new potion development logs, etc., if you can't take them away, just burn them.

Elliot asked someone to go and fetch the horse, and now only Angelina was left by Faro's side.

Because it was already night, the girl was wrapped in a white and gold nightgown, and her fiery orange-red hair was tied back.

In addition to being noble and pampered, it also adds a rare sense of grace and elegance.

The girl stopped Faro alone, her brows filled with deep anxiety.

"Faro.....is what you just said true?"

"Crest will target and frame us? Frame...Eustace's family? You must be kidding."

Angelina hoped desperately that this was just a joke.

It was just a joke because Faro was too cautious.

Because, if it was true, it would mean that Crest and their family had completely declared war and broken up with Eustace.

With Kleist's current popularity and prestige, as well as his high position as Speaker, he can easily bring them down.

In comparison, the Eustace family seemed extremely weak.

Angelina has witnessed many congressmen fall from high positions since she was a child.

They used to be at the peak of their careers, holding high positions and enjoying all the happiness in the world. Even so, their power was far from being overdrawn to the limit, and it seemed that it would never be possible to underestimate them again in this life. However, in just one night, whether it was a frame-up or their own exposure, the past was gone in a flash and they were on the verge of bankruptcy.

After falling, the surrounding wolves will rush up impatiently to share the benefits that originally belonged to them.

After the male owner fell into decline, the political suppression among the parliamentarians made it impossible for him to make a comeback. In order to ensure the quality of life, or simply to survive, they would sell their once beautiful wife and young daughter.

Just like that, the ladies who were once high and mighty were reduced from phoenixes to sparrows, and the only thing they could still be proud of was their own beauty.

They will be sold to other congressmen's homes or to dark streets. Either way, it will be a painful experience that is enough to drive people crazy.

Singing softly in the homes of congressmen who were once inferior to her husband and father in status, and being insulted by people of low status in the dark streets, she eventually became a numb puppet, or ended her miserable life with a loud cry.

At this moment, Angelina felt a long-lost fear in her heart.

This kind of thing... must be a joke, right?

Several years of affluent life have cultivated her nobility and pride.

Even if her status falls to mediocrity, the pride in her bones will never fade.

Even though she was a magic genius and an 'elemental spirit', she couldn't even imagine such a horrific ending.

Yes... yes, the old man is still here!

Although he has abdicated, the title of the most prestigious Speaker for hundreds of years is not for nothing. With him around, the Eustace family will be fine.

Angelina forced a smile and told Faro her thoughts.

However, the latter is not optimistic.
