The Emerald Tower

Chapter 486: Aleander

In Dean's line of sight, a young man was standing on the side of the ship, wearing a sailor uniform of the Zelgon family, with an ordinary face. When he noticed Dean's gaze, the man bowed slightly—as if The sailors of the Zelgon family are average, but Dean can be sure that the other party is definitely not a member of the Zelgon family.

Although facing hundreds of people, it is impossible for Dean to completely remember everyone's appearance in his heart.

However, he was also certain that among his family's sailors, there was absolutely no outstanding assassin.

That's right, an assassin!

Even when the other party saluted, they kept a kind of vigilance—naturally, it was difficult for ordinary people to notice, but in Dean's eyes, it was too familiar.

Dean walked onto the boat through the gangway that had been set up, stood on the deck and looked at each other carefully.

Especially the opponent's palm.

When he saw clearly the calluses on the tiger's mouth of the opponent's palm, extending all the way to the ring finger, but the little finger was extremely smooth, Dean became more certain about his guess.

When assassins choose weapons, they mainly use crossbows and small daggers.

Unlike the hilt of a long sword, which can be controlled by two hands, this small dagger handle does not need a little finger at all when it is only held with one hand.

Therefore, over time, the scope of calluses appears only in the tiger's mouth, index finger, middle finger and ring finger.

Dean's eyes moved down to the other's wrist, waist and boots.

There should be a stringed sleeve arrow on the wrist, just need to hook the little finger to activate it.

And at the waist. and inside the boots. Each hid a dagger.

The other party hides very well. If Dean hadn't already known everything about assassins, he wouldn't have been able to find out.

However, after discovering all this, Dean was naturally vigilant.

Judging from the assassin career he had experienced, Dean never thought that it was a good thing for a strange assassin to appear in front of him.

"His Excellency Dean Ken Zelgon, good afternoon!"

The young man greeted politely.

"Is this the first time we've met?"

Dean didn't play around the bush,

Instead, he asked directly.

at the same time. There was a dangerous look in his eyes - Dean had already decided that if the other party could not give him a satisfactory disaster, then he would capture the other party first.

Then, the other party's purpose of coming can be made clear.

For torture. Interrogation. Extortion. Confession, Dean has his own set of methods.

Enough to be called a master.

As if sensing Dean's dangerous gaze, the young man froze, and subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to pull out the dagger, but the next moment. The young man restrained his instincts.

Stand up straight again, and then. I bow and salute again.

"Yes, this is the first time we've met, but you're well-known in my organization—I'm from the 'Brotherhood' and belong to Lord Gadis!"

Said the young man.

Gaddis?

Dean narrowed his eyes.

For this female assassin who caused him troubles several times, Dean did not forget, even though the other party only had one head left and he was 'imprisoned'.

But the identity of the opponent, as well as his own talent that cannot be ignored, especially the way the opponent's layout is still fresh in Dean's memory.

"Come on, this is not the place to talk!"

Dean said, walking quickly towards the captain's cabin.

The young man followed closely behind Dean, while Tiger and Kerr stayed on the deck under Dean's signal, preventing anyone from approaching the captain's cabin.

Captain's interior.

Dean sat in his own chair and looked at the young man standing in front of him——

"I don't have any friendship with the fraternity, on the contrary, I have a lot of hatred..."

Dean said slowly.

"Although I come from the 'Brotherhood', I belong to Lord Jadis, and this time... also for Lord Jadis!"

the young man explained.

Dean didn't speak, and motioned for the other party to continue talking.

"The news came back from the 'Brotherhood' before: Lord Jules betrayed the Brotherhood and formed an alliance with you—although we, who belong to the family of Lord Jiadis, don't believe this, but Master Jules Death needs to be borne by someone, and the missing Lord Jiadis is the best scapegoat!"

The other party, who had always had a calm expression, had a slight fluctuation in his face when he said this.

Although it was fleeting, it was caught by Dean.

However, Dean didn't say anything, just continued to listen.

"The remaining three heirs, they worked hard to put all the blame on Lord Gadis, and with the testimony of several of us... everything has become irreparable, and Lord Jiadis has become the 'culprit' The culprit', and our subordinates have also become the targets of cleanup!"

"The object of cleaning? But, you appeared in front of me!"

Dean glanced at each other and asked.

"I'm the only exception—this is the favor of Lord Gadis!"

The other party answered like this.

"The [Substitute Nine Deaths] that belongs to Jiadis?"

Dean asked, emphasizing the word 'belonging' in his tone.

After careful identification, Dean has already confirmed that there is a huge difference between Gardis's "Nine Deaths for Substitutes" and the "Nine Deaths for Substitutes" of the original Brotherhood.

Which is better, Dean can't tell for the time being.

However, the [Substitute Nine Deaths Method] belonging to Jiadis is definitely an extremely difficult secret technique.

If there is no way to find the opponent's weakness, they will definitely fall into an absolute disadvantage.

Similarly, this is one of the evidences that Dean affirmed the opponent's talent.

Being able to truly improve a certain secret technique is naturally an admirable talent—at least, Dean is ashamed.

"Um!"

The young man on the opposite side nodded, and then he continued: "Please let Lord Jiadis go. I am willing to give you compensation!"

"Leave Gadis alone? Compensation?"

Dean chuckled lightly. It seems that the other party told a very funny joke.

"Master Jiadis is not dead. He should have been imprisoned by you - I can be sure of this... Although Lord Jiadis may have done some things that you cannot forgive, but what I said later, I hope Can make up for your loss!"

The young man paused, and continued: "The Brotherhood has dispatched assassins again, led by a gold-ranked expert, and supported by three silver-ranked experts. They are bound to win! If you would like to If you let Lord Jadis off, I am willing to help you. Let you tide over the difficulties!"

"One gold-ranked powerhouse and three silver-ranked?"

Dean looked at the other party and didn't speak anymore, but began to think quietly.

Of course, Dean would not fully believe what the person in front of him said, and no one could prove that what the other person said was not a lie, because it was the Brotherhood's plan for his next assassination.

Still, something should be true.

For example: Gardis' influence in the 'Brotherhood' was purged.

After all, after the last fight with the 'Brotherhood' assassin, the misunderstanding of the opponent at the moment of death was deliberately shown by Dean in order to cause such a situation.

For the 'double insurance' of the 'fraternity'. Dean knew it, of course he did. Such news would be passed back to the Brotherhood.

However, the appearance of the young man in front of him was unexpected by Dean.

In Dean's original vision, Gadis's influence in the 'Brotherhood' was completely wiped out, and the other party became a real loner. Then, he slowly concocted the other party until he got everything he wanted. Give the other party another pleasure.

"Maybe……"

Dean glanced at the man in front of him, and a thought suddenly popped up in his heart.

"Have those assassins from the 'Brotherhood' arrived at the capital of Gaosai?"

Dean asked.

"Well, it's already here, and, under the eyes of everyone, I'm going to assassinate you!"

The other party nodded and said.

"Oh? In order to make up for the lost dignity of the previous failed assassination?"

Dean laughed.

The other party did not answer, obviously acquiescing.

"So... I think we can talk! What's your name?"

Dean still asked with a smile.

"Aleander!"

The young man replied.

"Aleander? Well, Aleander, it's not impossible for me to let Gadis go... All I need is, you do one thing for me!"

Dean motioned to the other party and asked the other party to sit down and continue the discussion.

After a full hour, Aleander stood up.

"Don't worry, Your Excellency Zelgon, I promise I will do it!"

Aleander said.

"I hope so—although until now, I still can't really trust you, but... I want to see your sincerity!"

Dean leaned back, leaning his back completely against the chair.

"Of course! I will not disappoint you!"

With that said, Aleander walked out of the captain's room.

Dean's [Invisible Servant] watched the other party leave the flagship of the Zelgon family, and mixed into the barracks in the military port. During this period, the other party did not leave any marks or speak to anyone.

It seems that he is really alone.

However, even if there are other helpers, Dean doesn't care.

After all, as long as the other party follows his plan, once it starts, the next thing will be a matter of course.

No one can change it!

"With the addition of the 'Brotherhood', this Gaosai National Founding Commemoration Ceremony is really lively!"

Dean seemed to think of something, so he laughed out loud.

Hu and Kerr outside the cabin heard the owner's laughter, but they couldn't understand what Dean's laughter was for.

...

The sun was setting, and when the sun was about to disappear, the carriage representing Grand Duke Emerald and his party returned to the military port. As soon as they approached the dock area, the chief guard of the Grand Duke ran up to the flagship of the Zelgaon family in a hurry.

"Dean, Dean!"

With an extremely excited tone, the head guard shouted loudly.
