Chapter 545 The Night Before (IV)

“You! Say! What! What!”

Archduke Dantès stood up suddenly, his seemingly dim eyes as sharp as blades, even though there were only The strength of an intermediate mage, but at this moment, he still burst out with a breathtaking power. It was not a presence of murderous intent, but a majesty that can only be developed by staying at the top of the power pyramid for an extremely long period of time. , and under this majesty, even ordinary epic-level experts will subconsciously feel fear.

It’s just that the person sitting in front of him is neither ordinary nor strong, let alone the impressive momentum of Grand Duke Dantès at the moment. Even if the other party releases a cannon that can penetrate the wall. Fart, as long as that fart is not the center of the current topic, he can ignore it calmly.

"I think I have made it very clear, Your Excellency, so please sit down."

Mo Tan waved his hands lazily, took a sip of the bitter tea that Dantès had just brewed, and repeated word for word what he had said five seconds ago: "Count the time, our Crown Prince, Your nephew Rebebresne should be dead."

Dantis slammed the table and shouted angrily: "I'm warning you, Anthony Dabus, if you dare to act nonsense again... "

" Nonsense? "

Mo Tan interrupted the other party's unfinished threat and raised his eyebrows: "You don't believe it, right? "
 Dantes sat back on his chair with a pale face and said coldly: "It's nonsense, Ribo..."

"He has mastered most of the Redbud Guards who stayed in Salamoon. He placed a large number of people around his half-brother. He secretly raised funds with the resources accumulated over the years and the help of the Dantes family. A large number of underground forces, and he also received the support of nearly forty established aristocratic forces. He worked hard to compile a huge network and create an interesting community of interests with himself as the core. In addition to various transactions under the table, In addition to exchanging or collecting intelligence, they can even directly put pressure on the royal family when necessary."

Mo Tan took over Dantes' words lightly, and after telling a series of shocking facts. Toasted the latter: "So what?"

"You...you..."

Archduke Dantès had even forgotten what he originally wanted to say, but In any case, it can't be the content that Mo Tan just posted like a name of a dish, but that is no longer important. For this old man, the most important thing now is why the other party knows this, and...he is more What I said earlier is not true.

“You have always underestimated a person, even after he showed his fangs.”

Of course, Mo Tan could guess Dantès's mood at this moment, so he answered without waiting for the other party to ask the question: "Yes, that person can only be Xubresian. Apart from you, who is hated, Not to mention the old fool who has blinded his vision, even His Highness Ruibo, who is relatively outstanding and often deals with his younger brother, has never seen Xiu clearly. You have not given him enough trust, and you have not given him enough trust. Didn't treat him with enough caution, huh, the former doesn't matter. After all, no matter what, Xiu may become an obstacle to His Highness Ruibo's ascension to the throne, not only Violet, but also among other families in this empire, among the legitimate sons. There may be various problems, big and small, but... you should really be more cautious."

Grand Duke Dantès's face became paler.

"In that case...klop,kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkpkkkkkkkkkkkkpkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk By the way by the way, bah!' On the floor, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve and continued: "At least you can lose better."

"I don't believe it..."

Grand Duke Dantès murmured in a low voice. He shook his head vigorously, his face turned from livid to pale, and his bloodshot eyes stared at Mo Tan: "You are lying to me, I don't believe it... I don't believe it..."

Rather than refuting the latter, the old man's current behavior seems more like convincing himself.

"No, no, no, Your Majesty the Duke, in fact, when I said 'interesting community of interests', you already believed most of it." Mo Tan sneered and said without mercy: "You You know that plan, right? Not only do you know about the plan to kill Shubresn in Salamoon and avoid future troubles, but you also personally participated in it, right? , you should know that even if you only have the information I just mentioned, His Highness Ruibo will not be able to successfully kill his brother, but he will have to bear the price of showing the knife, which is..." 
Dantes suddenly panicked and shouted with a trembling voice: "No, that's not right! You don't want to..."

"Death!"

Mentan stretched out his index finger, slowly scratched at his throat, and smiled infatuatedly: "Yes, it's death, death, death, death, death, death and death, haha, hahahahaha, There are no other possibilities, right?”

He laughed more and more crazily, and became more and more hysterical. Finally, he even covered his abdomen and started beating the table, feeling that he might lose his breath at any time. The same...

But there was no madness in Mo Tan's eyes. He just stared at the Archduke Dantès who was slowly collapsing in front of him jokingly. His unblinking eyes were cold and pleasant, but No smile at all.

A few seconds later, the Grand Duke Dantès, who seemed to have aged by more than ten years, let out a long breath and fell weakly on the chair. His eyes were gray and dim, and a wisp of blood even overflowed from the corner of his mouth. Xue looked at Mo Tan, who was laughing wildly, with a pale face, without saying a word.

Ruibo is dead...

The future king of the Violet Empire, his favorite nephew, and Ruth's only child died...

Everything he had given, everything he had done, everything he had devoted himself to, and that shameful betrayal had all turned into nothing. An empty talk...

I don’t know since when, Grand Duke Dantès has regarded watching Ribo ascend the throne, flex his muscles, and realize his ambitions as his only thing and the entire meaning of his life.

So he is willing to cooperate with Buffy Marshall, whom he is ashamed of, and is willing to betray Clairvaux, who regards him as a brother, and is even prepared to be nailed to the pillar of shame.

However, now, shame is still shame, and the fact of betrayal can no longer be reversed. Ruibo died at the beginning of his ideal, and fell just after taking the first step.

So what does everything you have done count?

The goal that I have worked hard for for half my life, in the end, turned into an empty talk with extremely ironic meaning.

Under these blows, Archduke Dantès collapsed. In less than ten minutes, he changed from a powerful tycoon to a confused old man.

Then...

"By the way, in order to increase credibility, I might as well tell you one more thing."

Just when the Grand Duke Dantès had accepted the reality, Mo Tan, who had had enough laughter, was enthusiastically trying to increase his credibility. He stared maliciously at the other party's eyes that no longer had any sparkle, and whispered softly Said: "Do you know where your brother, Warren Dantes, who gave up the position of head of the family to you a long time ago, is now?"

Grand Duke Dantes looked at Mo Tan blankly, After a while, it seemed that suddenly Then he clenched his fists as if he had come to his senses, and asked tiredly: "Did something happen to my brother too?"

"Haha, that's not the case."

Mo Tan shook his head. , smiled playfully: " He should be following our second prince, the future emperor of this empire, looking forward to making amends. ""What did you say?"

Although his tone was quite surprised, Grand Duke Dantès's expression remained almost unchanged. He still looked as haggard as if he might die suddenly at any time. He asked numbly: "Brother, has he... made up for his fault?"
 Mo Tan crossed his legs leisurely, nodded and said: "Of course, Mr. Warren has been He is a smart man. Although he seems to have had similar ideas to you a long time ago, he is not hopeless. The point is that compared to you, the head of the family who inherited the position of Grand Duke, he is the one who really knows how to do it. The person who puts the surname 'Dantis' in the first place, so when he saw the real character of Shubrein, After the meeting, he immediately made a wise choice."

"You mean...brother, he betrayed..."

"Betrayal? No, no, that's not betrayal. Didn't I just say that he is the one who will put 'Dantis' first?"
Mo Tan interrupted the other party casually and said calmly: "He did not betray anything he insisted on. Even though he had secretly loyal to Xiu a long time ago, his starting point was still for the entire family, so what did he do? There is no betrayal, but you...haha..."

His malicious laughter made Grand Duke Dantès tremble subconsciously, as if he were a weak, ordinary old man without any extraordinary power.

“You are a sister-in-law. As the leader of the Dantès family, you don’t know how to assess the situation. You are also blinded by that ridiculous ‘hatred’. You have hated Emperor Clairvaux for decades. , and even vented his anger on his children with other women, everyone knows , Ruth Dantès voluntarily sacrificed herself to protect the emperor. She did not die from conspiracy or frame-up, but simply died from... haha, died from love."

Mo Tan made a funny move. With an expression on his face, he said leisurely: "And after that, the relationship between you and Clairvaux There was an irreparable gap. Also after that, you poured all your feelings for your sister into our eldest nephew. Of course, this is not wrong, but for a man who is responsible for the entire family , paranoia and impulsiveness have made you chase Gradually it became unqualified."

"Ruibo will make this country prosperous."

The Grand Duke Dantes closed slowly. He closed his eyes and said solemnly: "I am not wrong."

Mo Tan was happy at that time: "Hey, okay, then since you are not wrong, why did His Highness Ruibo rush to the street like this? Tell me?"

"That's because..."

"Because he is not good enough."

Mo Tan interrupted the other party coldly and said in a cold voice: "So he is dead, defeated, and no longer has a future, that's it. Simple.”

Archduke Dantès was silent...

"Our second prince has never fought alone, and the Dantes family has been the staunchest ally of the Violet family since ancient times, but he has never come to you. Why?"

Mo Tan gave He refilled his cup of tea and said with a smile: "Because he knows very well that you are a blind and poor collaborator, because he has known for a long time that today will happen, so Warren was selected, but you are only worthy of ended up like this , he becomes the king and you lose, there is no other possibility."

"If you are here just to ridicule me..."

The Grand Duke Dantès seemed not to care about Mo at all. After hearing what Tan said, he just pointed at the door with his cane: "Then please go back, Mr. Dabbs, and I will give everyone an explanation."

"Want to commit suicide?" 

Mo Tan understood the other party's thoughts almost instantly and sneered: "It's not yet time, Your Excellency the Grand Duke."

The heartbroken Grand Duke Dantès looked at the former tiredly: "You What do you want to say?”

“I want to give you a chance to make up for your mistakes, or give the Dantis family a chance to make up for your mistakes.”

Mo Tan looked at him calmly. The old man in front of him said in a very provocative and sincere tone: "Your Majesty must think so too, otherwise he wouldn't even knock you at the meeting today. Your Excellency, you don't really think that... you and I Will Hussein's obvious move of "releasing people" be noticed at all?"

Grand Duke Dantès was immediately stunned: "You mean..."

"His Majesty Clairvaux just feels guilty for you and doesn't want to go into details. The Hussein family has also benefited from you."

Mo Tan shrugged, spread his hands and said: "So...he In fact, he is not a qualified emperor. He can really If something serious happens, even his own brother should be killed without hesitation...well, he still has to survive."

Dantis did not react to the innuendo in Mo Tan's words. , just asked softly: "What should I do?" 
"It's very simple. First of all, you need to tell me everything you know, including the contents of the tripartite deal between Dantès, Hussein and the Marshall family, the details of the earlier plan to assassinate the emperor, and..."

Mo Tan snapped his fingers and grinned: "Who is that matchmaker? What are your next plans and plans? Please tell me everything in detail, and don't let go of any details. .”

...

"If you say it right, the future Hussein family will still have a place in this empire."

Duke Hussein blinked at the ashen-faced Grand Duke. , smiled sweetly: "But, if what you say is not good, wrong, untrue, and incomplete, haha, His Highness Xiu is not His Majesty Clairvaux, he can make If the Marshall family is beyond redemption, the Hussein family will end up in the same fate. Don't talk to me about any unspoken rules... about the relationship between the royal family and the lords. I don't accept this, and neither does our new emperor. "

"Well, those who know the current affairs are heroes, right?"

"Absolutely."

"Haha, Ms. Shuangye, do you think I am a hero?"

"Well, seeing how you smile so cheaply, I am undoubtedly a hero."
