After suddenly learning the news, the silver-haired man couldn't help but calm down his relaxed expression and became cautious.

"Dalton is not simple. I'm not surprised that he will notice something is wrong. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to seize power successfully back then."

"However, now he should only be suspicious of you, but he has not found any tangible evidence, otherwise you would not be able to sit in front of me now."

Upon hearing the silver-haired man's explanation, Abbott couldn't help but nodded repeatedly to express his agreement.

"Abbott, we old brothers were afraid of Dalton. You are the only one left in the family. Thank you for your hard work."

For some reason, the silver-haired man suddenly sighed and sighed again, "But don't worry, this kind of life will not last too long."

"When the Austin Master comes back, then our years of tolerance will not be in vain. At that time, success or failure will lead to a fixed number."

The silver-haired man's tone was filled with indescribable fatigue, as if he was struggling to hold on in the darkness before dawn. Although he believed in the arrival of light, he was a little tired after all.

"I have always believed in this and never doubted it." Abbott answered seriously, looking at the silver-haired man's face that was much younger than him.

He knew that although the silver-haired man was unemployed at home, the pressure he had been carrying over the years and the depression in his heart was no less than that of others.

"By the way, brother, Dalton recently asked about the backup plan left by the head of the family back then."

"Maybe because he felt that his death was approaching, so his strength was much greater than before. How should I deal with it?"

Abbott lowered his head and drank a sip of black tea. The slightly raised corners of his mouth were reflected in the bright orange-red tea soup, but his entire face was covered by the scent of tea and could not be seen clearly.

"The things left by the head of the family back then must not be handed over to Dalton, otherwise Austin would not be able to succeed when he came back."

The silver-haired man frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Brother, I know about this, but I really have no way. Dalton is already in a mad state at this time. If there is no gain in this matter, I suspect he might have done anything by any means."

Abbott looked up, his face full of indelible depression and a sense of helpless decadence.

The silver-haired man also understood Abbott's situation, so he didn't say anything useless and began to think about what to do about it.

Abbott said it right. At this time, Dalton was like a wounded tiger, and was irritable and easily going to extremes. If everything goes wrong, it is really possible to act irritably.

To be honest, if it were the usual Dalton, it would definitely not be like this.

Although he was disdainful of Dalton's character, he colluded with outsiders to kill his brother, chased his brother's only descendant, controlled the family with iron-blooded means, eliminated dissidents, and arranged close friends.

But it has to be admitted that Dalton's methods were indeed extraordinary. Under the circumstances, it also preserved most of the vitality of the Augustus family and controlled the family that was about to fall apart with light and tough measures.

Moreover, although Dalton's methods have become more violent over the years, and the entire family has been ruled under high pressure, in fact, the Augustus family is at least continuing to develop, and has not been depressed because of the incident that year.

Therefore, although he extremely despises Dalton's character, the silver-haired man still recognizes Dalton's ability.

But today is different from the past. Under the pressure of being seriously injured and on the verge of death, it is hard to say what kind of things this guy with extraordinary ability can do.

So, in order to prevent Dalton from discovering their affairs, or being forced to jump into the wall, he had to consider how to deal with Abbott's troubles.

"Brother, Dalton is so anxious to get the backhand of the head of the family. Is it because the head of the family left something to save his life?"

Looking at the silver-haired man who was in deep thought, Abbott picked up the black tea, his head lowered slightly, and he asked casually.

However, although the silver-haired man was a little distracted at this time, he did not say it as casually as Abbott expected.

He just turned his head and looked at Abbott deeply, "When the time comes, you will know naturally."

Abbott's spine chills, but his face looks embarrassed, "Brother, am I curious? I blame me, blame me."

As he spoke, Abbott raised his black tea to apologize to the other party.

The silver-haired man couldn't help but look slightly when he saw Abbott's current appearance, "I know you are all curious about those things, but now that big things are happening, everything must be cautious."

"It's not that I don't believe you, but because there are so many people who know the secret, it's no longer called a secret."

As the clouds faded, the silver-haired man's expression was no longer as serious as before, but with a sense of concern.

"Yes, brother said it." Abbott apologized repeatedly, indicating that he knew he was wrong.

However, a trace of gloom could not help but arise in his heart.

After all, it has not been long since those people took action, but he has never gained anything.

If this is the case in the end, he doesn't know if those people will vent their anger on him.

After all, compared to the Augustus family in Dalton's hands and the father of Austin, the previous generation of the Gunfire Earl Deers Augustus made them move more.

Otherwise, the remnants of Deers, who were like a silver-haired man, would not have been left behind.

Although he was extremely worried and wondering what to do, whether to try his best to complete the task or find a way out, Abbott showed no flaws on his face.

Then, the two of them tacitly revealed the previous page,

After talking about the previous topic for a while, the silver-haired man finally gave Abbott a specious news and asked him to coax Dalton.

Of course, this news cannot be too false, after all, the other party will find something wrong once they check it.

So this news is indeed authentic and valuable, but this value is not related to the backup plan left by Deers Augustus.

Hearing this, Abbott was not very satisfied, but he responded seriously and turned around and left the secluded courtyard.

Listening to Abbott's footsteps away, the silver-haired man suddenly said nothing, but took out an unused tea cup again, poured black tea, and then lowered his head to taste the tea in his cup.

"Mr. Atcheson."

Soon, the closed door opened again, and a thin figure wrapped in a black robe walked to the silver-haired man.

This black robe is extremely simple and seems to have nothing but pure black, but if you look closely, you can see that the black fabric exudes a bright luster.

The complex and mysterious magic patterns are engraved under it, turning the entire black robe from an inconspicuous clothing into an extremely precious magic tool.

The hood worn by the man in black robe was not very tight and did not completely cover the entire head.

However, it is unlikely to see some of the other person's facial features through the gaps.

Because a vague layer of brilliant light that seemed to flow like a galaxy appeared under the hood, completely covering the other person's face without revealing any information.

Even, not only that, except for the face, spiritual fluctuations, soul breath, and life breath... there was no leakage at all.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about this effect, this magic tool is enough to be called a treasure.

Those powerful magic tools are easy to find, and it is really not easy to have various gunpowder weapons. However, this effect is magical and can't be obtained with many uses.

After all, no matter who it is, there is a need to hide identity, and this is especially true for those who have done countless dirty work secretly.

However, Acheson, with silver hair, did not have this idea. After all, in the previous few contacts, he clearly understood that the other party was not a guy who was easy to mess with. Not only was he strong, but he also had several alchemy props and magic tools with unique effects.

Not to mention him, even if they were fully prepared, they were not sure.

Moreover, he even suspected that what the other party hidden was more frightening than the things that were shown on the surface.

Therefore, when risks and interests are not proportional and too disparate, they still gave up this idea. After all, the current situation is already extremely turbulent, and there is no need to attack one side of his side at this critical moment.

"Come on, sit down." At the other party's arrival, Acheson was not surprised at all, but instead greeted him with a smile and then placed the newly poured black tea in front of the other party.

There is not much time between the two coming and leaving, so the bleak night wind has not completely taken away the warmth in the tea.

The misty tea smell lingers and drifts, adding a bit of warmth to this cold night.

The man in black robe did not refuse the kindness of Fang and sat directly opposite Acheson, but he did not have the cup of black tea in front of him.

Acheson was not angry either, but was still smiling.

"What's wrong with me if you don't know about this?"

Without boundless riddles or meaningless delays, Acheson went straight to the point at the beginning and gave his own doubts.

"Of course, there is something important." The voice that was distorted and blurred and could not hear the original characteristics came into Acheson's ears, which seemed to have some depressing meaning.

"My sincerity, Mr. Acheson must have been received, I don't know what." The man in black robe chuckled, lifting up like a vague halo of galaxies, facing Acheson's eyes.

"You are indeed extraordinary in order to be able to pass it back to the imperial capital in such a short time and find a suitable candidate. You are indeed extraordinary, but you don't know..." Achison's eyes swept away, with oppressive power, "Why are you willing to cooperate with us?"

boom!

The violent momentum suddenly spread, like a strong wind sweeping, and the clothes of the two people blew.

A terrifying shock wave, which seemed to thunder thunder, surged around everywhere, but strangely, it was just like a breeze blowing on the face and did not cause much damage.

Seeing this scene, Achison's pupils suddenly contracted like the tip of a needle.

However, the next moment, Acheson covered up his shock, tried to calm down, lowered his head and sipped a sip of black tea.

"Mr. Atcheson, it should be the easiest reason to maintain basic respect for collaborators. I don't need to emphasize it, right?"

The man in black robe laughed, but his tone was very cold and there was no warmth at all.

But Acheson was not suppressed by the other party's momentum. He just raised his head and gently placed the cup in his hand on the stone table, with a calm tone.

"Indeed, I shouldn't do this, either in your sincerity or in the strength I showed, but I made this stupid decision. Do you know why?"

Hearing this, the man in black robe turned his head slightly, as if he was a little curious.

"Because, the timing of your appearance was so coincidental that I couldn't see clearly whether you were an enemy or a friend."

"We are in an extremely critical period, and you must know this, so to some extent, we cannot tolerate a slight surprise."

"But you are different. We don't know who you are, where you are, or what you are for, how do we believe it."

Hearing this, the man in black robe tapped the stone table with his fingers and asked softly: "Aren't the previous ones enough?"

"not enough."

The terrifying aura, like a mountain collapse and a ground, pressed down on Achison, but it did not show the silver-haired man a trace of horror.

clatter!

The fingers gently hit the stone table, as if the last bell was ringing, with a heavy aftertaste.

"I know what you mean and understand your concerns, but there is no hurry. We still have time. Soon, you will understand my sincerity."

The man in black robe no longer had that warm smile in his tone, and he replied calmly and confidently.

"Then I'll wait for that day."

Without stopping, the man in black robe stood up, took a step forward, and disappeared into the courtyard.

Looking at this scene, Acheson was not surprised at all, but calmly sipped a sip of black tea. Looking at the black tea that had not been drunk by the other party, a look of pity appeared on his face.

...

On the other side, after changing the routes many times and changing the disguise, Abbott has returned to the Augustus family.

But, strangely, Abbott, who entered through the gate, did not find his existence even if someone walked past him, as if there was nothing there, just like no one else's air.

If anyone outsiders saw this scene, they would definitely be frightened and frightened.

But he was not surprised at all. He walked through the twists and turns of the corridor in an extremely peaceful manner and walked into his courtyard.

Thanks to Abbott's identity as the steward of the Augustus family, he has a high status in this family and an independent courtyard with a symbolic identity.

Even, there are servants who are exclusively owned.

However, it was already deep at this moment, and the servants in the courtyard had already rested, and few people walked around, and they were quiet and peaceful.

Abbott glanced at the courtyard, as if he had determined something before he walked into the dark house with confidence.

"Abbott, you're back a little late."
