Chapter 397: I am a woman

Just when Ethan was immersed in training the future team, the Casillas family finally came to the door.

However, more than a month had passed since the war between the two sides, and many family members on both sides had died.

Ethan still admired the Casillas family. They had managed to hold on for so long despite being so weak.

And when he heard the request from the Casillas family, Ethan admired them even more.

Because they did not come to ask for help to deal with the Arthur family, but to ask Ethan not to interfere.

In order to prevent Ethan from intervening, they even gave a generous gift.

When Ethan received this request, in addition to admiring the toughness of the Casillas family, he was more or less confused.

After all, wouldn't it be good to have more helpers?

However, he was no longer confused immediately, because Sophia, who was reading in the study with him, heard this request and revealed the key in one sentence.

"It is estimated that the Casillas family is going to negotiate a settlement with the Arthur family!"

After hearing this, Ethan was somewhat amused: "So he gave me money specifically in the hope that I would not take action, for fear of disrupting their peace talks?"

"What else?" Sophia smiled evilly: "But they are overthinking it a bit.

Since they have started fighting, it is impossible to stop just because they want to. We must let them continue."

"If they don't want to fight anymore, we don't have to..." At this point, Ethan suddenly realized something and turned to Sophia and asked: "The assassination attempt of the Casillas family failed. Did you leak the secret to the Arthur family?"

Seeing that Ethan had reacted, Sophia stopped pretending and nodded directly: "Yes! I did it!"

Ethan suddenly realized that he had always thought that the Casillas family was useless. They were scheming without intention, but they were caught red-handed.

Seeing that Sophia did not seem to want the Casillas family to negotiate, he suddenly had an idea and wondered if there was a secret.

Unexpectedly, a casual question would reveal a big truth.

"Sophia, the Casillas family is an ally after all. They fought against the Blue Dragon together not long ago. Why did you do this?

Even if we don't help fight the Arthur family, there is no need to stab them in the back!"

"Why?" Sophia opened her eyes wide, as if she was the victim: "Ethan, you have to understand that your allies are only me and the Lawson family.

Others can only be called communities of interests at most.

When there are interests, everyone is an ally.

When there are no interests, or when the interests conflict, they are just passing by, or enemies.

And how can the Casillas family be called allies?

I won't talk about the shipyard before. I'll tell you one thing. Do you remember what they asked for when distributing the interests of the Blue Dragon?

They not only want materials, but also Ask for the identity of the dragon slayer.

They are competing with you for prestige, which proves that they still have ambitions to compete with you.

Look at Leon again. He also had a way to coerce you at that time, but he only wanted materials and did not ask for the identity of the dragon slayer.

Although this cannot be concluded that he has no ambition, it at least proves that he will not compete with you head-on.

A person's words can lie, but his actions will not lie.

From the behavior of the Casillas family, it can be seen that they are not allies, but enemies.

For enemies, it is in our best interest to let them fall into a vortex of chaos and cannot extricate themselves.

If you think that the previous point is not enough, I will tell you a few more things that the Casillas family did.

First, you may not know that when we were attacked by the blue dragon and got into trouble, although it was not them The first one to decouple from our economy, but they instructed it.

And they are willing to help fight the blue dragon, not because they are kind, but because you are too generous, and the benefits you give are so great that they can't refuse.

They can't refuse, because they know that if they refuse, you will just change a sage to cooperate.

Otherwise, believe me, they would hate our Lawson family to let this dying state continue.

In fact, I think the Casillas family is also related to the orcs.

You may not know that I was originally going to kill Lady Champs Elysees directly, but was stopped by the Casillas family.

I had no choice but to ruin her reputation.

In the past, I just thought that some of their important members were Lady Champs Elysees's guests, and I didn't think much about it.

But when I knew that Lady Champs-Elysees was the spokesperson for the orcs, I felt that things were not that simple.

I even suspected that the orcs attacked your territory because they were the ones who instigated it, and their purpose was to drag you down.

Of course, I admit that there is no evidence to prove this.

But according to the objective laws of the world, when you feel that things are not going well, you don't have to doubt that there must be someone else making trouble, and there is no doubt about this.

Have you noticed that when you settled in Maro City before, there was always a problem here and there, and everything was not going well.

But recently the Casillas family went to war with others. Do you feel that your life is particularly comfortable and there are no more such or such things?

The world is like this. When you are not going well, those who are making trouble must be going well. Because there are only so many resources in the world, if you take more, others will take less, and there will always be someone who is uncomfortable.

So, if you want to live a good life, to put it bluntly, you must build it on the pain of others.

This is cruel, even a little absurd, but it is the truth. "

Ethan was left speechless by Sofia's reasonable arguments for backstabbing his allies.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems like this is really the case.

"What you said makes sense, but why can't you discuss it with me in advance! I'm not an unreasonable person.

If you tell me directly, I will agree. "

Sophia smiled helplessly: "I would like to discuss it with you in advance! But I know you too well. If you don't settle the matter first, you will definitely be hesitant, and then you will not be willing to do this behind the scenes no matter what. About the sneak attack.

Since you are aboveboard and unwilling to do this kind of backstabbing, then let me do it.

After all, I am a woman! "

"What does this have to do with women!"

"In the eyes of you men, aren't women equal to villains?"

"Haha!" Ethan smiled sarcastically: "I have no such idea, please don't slander me. I have always believed that women can hold up half the sky, and how can you be sure that I won't agree?"

"You don't admit it, do you?" Sophia immediately got into trouble with Ethan, rolled up her sleeves and said, "Okay, now there is something that requires you to be ruthless, will you handle it?"

"What's up?"

"Teach the Tegru family a lesson!"

"He helped us test banknotes well, why should we teach them a lesson?"
