Chapter 824
After a while, one of the guys from Tigris Hall was sent over to bring Darizan over.
“Haha, is there anything I can help you with, Hall Master?” Darizan’s heart was filled with anticipation when he thought about the plan to lace Zoheb’s wine with poison and kill him. As soon as he laid eyes on Severin, however, a bad feeling surfaced in his heart and he immediately asked, “Who is this guy?”
Zoheb’s face turned gloomy and he said to Darizan, “I’ve always treated you well, Darizan, and I never thought that you’d one day want to kill me. You’re a very ambitious person, you know.”
Darizan was taken aback and hurriedly tried to explain himself. “What are you talking about, Hall Master? Why would I want to kill you? You’re like a brother to me, and we vowed to become sworn brothers! How could I possibly kill you?”
Severin took one step forward and said with a cold smile, “Oh, quit pretending, will you? I heard you talking with Mister Tulio out by the road earlier.”
“That’s impossible! You couldn’t have heard our conversation when you were so far away from me at that time!” Darizan was startled and had a slip of the tongue.
Severin could not help but laugh. “Aha! You just exposed yourself and admitted to calling Mister Tulio!” Darizan’s mouth twitched a few times before he explained, “Yes, I was talking to Mister Tulio, but your accusations that I am colluding with him to kill our hall master is nothing but nonsense! I just told him that we won’t Join them, and I pleaded with them not to put so much pressure on us!”
“I didn’t think you’d be so stubborn still.” Zoheb laughed. “Are you only going to give up on this charade after I search your body and find the poison you were supposed to prepare for me?”
Darizan frowned, thinking to himself, ‘Was he really able to hear my conversation? How is that possible when my voice wasn’t even too loud at that time?’
However, Darizan knew for sure that he could not admit anything at that moment.
He glared at Severin and then said to Zoheb, “Why do you trust him more than you trust me? He was probably sent here by the Wild Blood Gang to drive a wedge between us! If we crumble from within, then. we’d only leave ourselves open to be attacked!”
