Chapter 399: Kou Lai

Everything developed as Sofia expected.

First, after the Casillas family had a talk with Ethan, they immediately communicated and negotiated with the Arthur family, hoping to reach a ceasefire agreement.

After a day of hesitation, the Arthur family agreed to negotiate.

Obviously, both families could not stand this kind of torture and endless assassination.

But the night before the two families were ready to negotiate, the 7-year-old son of Netahu, the patriarch of the Arthur family, was found dead on the bed in the bedroom.

And it was found that although his real cause of death was poisoning, he was stabbed twelve times in the back after his death.

And the murderer turned out to be his personal maid, but she died of poisoning.

Now, the negotiations have not even started, and they are overshadowed.

However, Netahu of the Arthur family knew that someone wanted to disrupt the peace talks, but he still resisted the pressure and negotiated with the Casilla family in the third party's Duchy of Polovich.

As a result, the negotiations have not started yet, and there is a problem again.

The people of the Casillas family found that their tea was highly poisonous, but the tea of ​​the Arthur family was not.

This aggravated the trust crisis between the two parties again.

The Casillas family was not as bold as the Arthur family. They fought on the spot without talking about anything, and finally everything returned to the original state.

Today you assassinate me, and tomorrow I assassinate you.

When Ethan heard the news, he thought it was Sofia who did it.

As a result, Sofia said that there were people who didn't want their two families to negotiate, and let Ethan guess who it was.

Ethan didn't know who that person was, and he was not interested in knowing, as long as it was not Sofia who did it.

As for whether the two families negotiated, Ethan didn't want to get involved.

The only thing that could make him come out recently was Capudo.

Yes, everything was just as Sofia said, the [Glutton] was back again.

And as Sofia said, the [Glutton] clearly expressed goodwill.

Before the person arrived, he wrote a letter to Ethan in person.

The content of the letter looked like a subordinate reporting to his superior.

It explained in detail what he was going to do in Maro City and what work he was going to do, and made it clear that he would abide by all the rules and regulations of the parliament.

This made Ethan think that he had read it wrong for a while, and he read it again and again before he dared to confirm that it was true.

In view of the other party's friendly attitude, Ethan went to greet him in person when Capudo arrived that day.

The two of them hinted at each other in public, showing their holiday to the fullest.

Of course, all this was done for others to see.

Privately, Ethan prepared a private welcoming banquet for Capudo at home that night.

Capudo was invited to attend, and he also brought a female companion.

What Ethan never expected was that the female companion turned out to be Lady Champs-Elysees.

This woman is really everywhere.

Ethan really wanted to ask this woman what was wrong with her brain.

It was just that she was the female companion brought by Capudo after all, and she had an official identity, so Ethan couldn't get angry on the spot.

After the meal, Ethan and Caputo went out for a stroll alone, pretending to ask about this matter unintentionally.

Caputo didn't know why Ethan was interested in a woman, but he still answered honestly:

"In fact, I don't know what happened. I just returned to the church today. Before I put down my luggage, I heard the servants come to report that a woman wanted to see me.

I didn't expect it to be Mrs. Champs-Elysees.

And I didn't expect that she would come in without saying a word..."

At this point, Caputo smiled obscenely: "To be honest, she is not bad. My fatigue from the journey was swept away by her.

Then I thought that I just needed a female companion in the evening, so I took her with me.

What?

Mr. Ethan fell in love with her?

Then let her stay tonight."

Ethan smiled embarrassedly, stopped talking about this, and turned to talk about the Tegru family.

Of course, he couldn't tell Caputo directly and let him deal with the Tegru family.

"I saw you emphasized in your letter that you want to maintain the glorious image of the Holy Light Church. Is that true?"

When Capudo heard Ethan suddenly talking about the image of the Holy Light Church, he thought that Ethan was still worried that he would go against him.

So he said: "Of course! Because of my previous inappropriate words and deeds, the reputation of the Holy See was damaged. This time I came back to correct this mistake."

Ethan smiled: "That's great! Maro City has always been the most loyal supporter of the Holy Light Church. With your words, we will have more confidence in the Holy Light Church.

Of course, I have to mention here that although some families have destroyed the Holy Light Church by issuing books before, that was just the behavior of some individuals and did not represent the will of the people of Maro City.

And it's been a while since the incident. I hope you won't pursue this matter anymore."

After hearing this, Capudo was stunned for a while, and then he sneered in his heart.

Are you asking me not to pursue it?

Your words sound better than anyone else's. It's obvious that you want me to pursue this matter. Otherwise, why would you mention it for no reason?

Capudo looked at Ethan seriously. He knew very well that Ethan was not this kind of person before.

But he did not expect that this kid would become so treacherous after just a few months of leaving.

"Sir Ethan, I am afraid I can't do it. You should know that the majesty of the Holy See cannot be desecrated. This matter must be dealt with seriously, otherwise the Church will not teach!

I hope you can understand my difficulties!"

After hearing this, Ethan looked embarrassed, and finally sighed heavily: "Alas... I can understand!"

Capudo almost laughed when he saw Ethan like this.

Finally, he suppressed his laughter and said: "However, although I want to deal with this matter seriously, I am willing but unable to do so."

When Ethan heard this, he knew that Capudo was going to put forward conditions.

So he said: "Oh! What happened?"

Capudo sighed: "You also know that our church has been operating grain, which is our most important source of income.

But the Duke has always been the exclusive grain business in Maro City, which has made the church unable to make ends meet.

Now the salaries of the staff of the Church cannot be paid, and many people have not received salaries for several years.

They only serve the Church silently with the will of the Holy Light in their hearts.

I really can't bear to let them fight against the pagans who slander the Church in such a situation."

When Ethan heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched uncontrollably.

Everyone knows that the richest in the whole of Maro City is your Holy Light Church.

Nine out of ten people are fat, and you dare to say that they haven't received their salary for several years.

Can starvation make people fat?

Ethan also admired Capudo's nonsense, and he didn't even need basic logic in the negotiation.

However, although Capudo's words were absurd, Ethan still agreed with the other party's statement.

"What a touching story! For the sake of Holy Light, I think this situation must be changed.

After a while, I will fight for the due interests of the Holy Light Church in the parliament.

In any case, we can't let the devout teachers work tirelessly for the Holy Light and still go hungry."
