Chapter 840 What Did I Do Wrong?

After accidentally killing Popov, Adair gradually calmed down.

After calming down, Adair slowly figured out what happened.

These are all the work of Britannias.

In order to enable him to betray the Holy Shiran Empire and assist the Knights in capturing the Chupol Fortress, they devised such a trick to force him.

First, they sneaked into his home again and placed these 12 letters in his home.

The scream that led him out must also have been caused by the Britannia.

After luring him out, he used some methods to lure Popov to find the envelope that had been placed in his home.

This will successfully make Popov misunderstand that he has committed treason and collaboration with the enemy.

If he had not accidentally killed Popov, the scouts from the Britannia Empire lurking around would have "helped" him to accidentally kill Popov.

All the scouts of the Britannia Empire did was for one purpose - to make it impossible for him to survive in the Holy Hiran Empire and to force him to betray the Holy Hiran Empire.

"I'm really curious..."

Adair sneered at the young man in front of him.

"Who came up with this plan?"

"This strategy is too cruel..."

"As a general, killing his own comrades, whether by mistake or on purpose, is a serious crime in the Holy Hiran Empire."

"Even if he is not executed, he will live in prison until he dies."

"I have...no way to gain a foothold in the Holy Hiran Empire..."

After saying that, Adair once again covered his face with slightly trembling hands with a look of pain on his face.

"The previous Vivian was right, my whole life has been a laughing stock..."

"My parents couldn't survive in the Britannia Empire, so they smuggled themselves to the Holy Hiran Empire."

"My father died of overwork not long after I was born..."

"My mother has always been ostracized and humiliated by the people around her because of her Britannian identity and her inability to learn the Shiranese language."

"My mother, who could no longer bear the humiliation of people around her, committed suicide when I was 13 years old..."

"I didn't want to be ostracized by the people around me anymore, so I joined the army with the mentality of fleeing."

"After joining the army, I have been working hard, hoping that one day my efforts and achievements will earn the respect of those around me."

"But whether in my hometown or in the army, nothing has changed much. Most of the people around me still exclude and discriminate against me..."

The young man stood in front of Adair with his hands folded, listening quietly to Adair's whispers, without any intention of going up to comfort Adair.

At the same time, he didn't mean to interrupt Adair's words.

"I... am a person with no big ambitions..."

"I don't aspire to be a big shot, nor do I aspire to achieve a big career."

"I don't have any great goals."

"As long as the people around me stop ostracizing and discriminating against me and my wife can be safe, I will be satisfied."

"I don't ask for anything other than that..."

"It's not easy..."

At this point, Adair finally choked up.

"It's not easy... I finally got someone like Marshal Veselov to be my boss."

"Marshal Veselov has no prejudice against me because I have Britannian blood in my veins."

"He was willing to help me and appreciate me."

"When I learned that Marshal Veselov was willing to help me get my wife back,

I really thought that after suffering so much, my life would finally get better. "

"But in the end, my life, which had just started to improve, was still ruined..."

"Did I do something wrong..."

"Why can't even my humble wish come true..."

At this point, Adair seemed to finally be able to speak no more and began to cry loudly.

The young man standing in front of him still had an expressionless face.

He calmly looked at Adair who was crying like a helpless child.

But there was some pity and apology in his calm eyes...

After crying for a long time, Adair finally stopped crying.

"...Now that I think about it, I'm just like a puppet."

"In your eyes, I must be just like a puppet, right?"

"I am just a puppet that can help you capture Chupol Fortress."

"In order to achieve the goal of capturing the Chupol Fortress, you can pose and use me as a puppet however you want."

"You don't need to ask my opinion, because I, the puppet, don't need any thought."

"You don't need to ask me if I agree. If I don't agree, you can force me to agree."

"Faced with your unreasonable demands and excessive behavior, I, a puppet, have no way to resist..."

"I already understand a little bit why some people want to climb up at all costs."

"Because as long as you climb up and climb to a higher point, you can avoid becoming someone else's puppet one day in the future."

"If only I could understand this earlier..."

After saying that, Adair wiped his face vigorously.

After a while, he slowly lowered his hands.

When he put his hands down, his expression and eyes calmed down.

Quietly a little weird, calmly a little too much.

"Just be a puppet."

"Since I can't escape the fate of being a puppet, I'll just be the craziest and happiest puppet."

"I killed Popov by mistake, and I can't stand in the Holy Xilan Empire no matter what."

"Since I can't stand in the Holy Xilan Empire anymore, I shouldn't stay in the Holy Xilan Empire anymore."

"Go back and tell your Su Cheng."

"Just tell him that I am willing to submit to the Britannia Empire and help you capture the Chubol Fortress from the inside."

"But you can't lose any of the conditions you promised me."

"By the way, I'll also tell your Su Cheng that after I help you capture the Chubol Fortress, I won't work for the Britannia Empire anymore. I'm going to take the money and my wife away and live a good life that I've never experienced before."

As soon as Adair finished speaking, the young man in front of him saluted him:

"Thank you for your understanding."

"Now let me help you deal with this body."

He was referring to Popov's body.

"We will help you deal with this man's body perfectly, and no one will find out that you killed him..."

"Got it..." Adair waved his hand with a look of deep fatigue on his face, indicating that he didn't need to say anything more.

Adair stood up from the ground and said:

"I don't know how you plan to deal with Popov's body."

"But please treat him as gently as possible."

"After all, he is my first and only friend..."
