Chapter 252 Alone
The candlelight in the study was flickering, blown by the wind coming from the exhaust duct. It flickered and looked like it was in danger of going out at any time.
Theresa moved four chairs and sat down around the long table in the center. No one spoke first. The strong smell of alcohol was emitted from the empty bottles on the table. On the contrary, the smell of alcohol came out of the pipe. The smell of tobacco leaves was covered up.
The man took out a bottle of wine from under the table, pulled out the cork and eagerly took a big gulp. Feeling the warm feeling of the wine flowing through his tongue and throat, he hummed comfortably and squinted his eyes to look at them.
"Let me guess, the family asked Teresa-chan to bring reinforcements to support this old man like me?" The man smacked the wine.
"No, I am reinforcements, they are not." Theresa rolled her eyes at him with disgust and said angrily, "Besides, you, an old man, want me to support you? You must be sure that the family will send someone here."
"Don't you know how to respect the old and love the young? Besides, I am an old man who is over 100 years old, and I look like I can fight well? The more critical moments like this, the more I have to rely on you young people to stir up a storm of youth." The man sighed. ,
"An old man like me should lie under the sky of Els Star, watch the aurora in the sky and the blue sea and enjoy life, or find a young and beautiful girl by his side to feel the cold and heat, and live a happy life."
"An old man who has lived for hundreds of years should not harm those young and beautiful girls." Theresa pinched her nose, "Shouldn't you be using the last remaining heat to dispel the darkness? You promised to be a burning candle. How about illuminating others yourself?”
"Fighting and killing are the exclusive domain of you young people. You have to step on the heads of some of the elders in the world to get ahead, right? Old people like us should spend the rest of our lives peacefully, retreat to the mountains and forests, and wash our hands in a golden basin." The man continued. Sighed.
"I can't help it. You are the famous Iris. Who doesn't know that the manager of the Meteor Hour is a rotten old man who is hundreds of years old and still full of lust." Theresa calmly moved the bottle to the long side. On the other side of the table, he raised the bottle again and poured it down.
"Okay, then why does our lovely Teresa-chan come to my place?" Iris took out his pipe again, his mouth not idle for a moment, "It's definitely not to catch up with me and deepen our relationship, right? ?”
Theresa glanced at Jiang Fan and nodded: "Well, everyone knows what the star core's effect on the dream world means to Pinoconi. You are not the type to let the star core explode and cause trouble to Pinoconi. Don’t care about people who don’t care.”
"The robin told me that you should have made some new discoveries when you were reviewing your dreams. So, what prompted you to conceal the information and choose to stand by and watch this matter?"
"The person who took the star core had an affair with you? Or was the person who took the star core your illegitimate daughter or son? Could it be that he was your former lover? Or did the thief save your life?"
"You can't put on the stockings that you got from a little girl and go out in person to perform day and night defense. It's hard to guard against house thieves, right?" Theresa said quietly.
"Then you're wrong. I never put stockings on my head. Instead, I keep them well. That's proof of our love." Iris hummed, "Even a robin can't hide it, maybe that Sunday I already knew it..."
"So you really hid the news, you disrespectful old man..."
"Child, I mean Theresa. People are always forgetful when they get older. Look at me, I have already forgotten what I said just a second ago. Can you ask me again?"
"So are you hiding what you're going back to?"
"What backtracking? I never know what backtracking is in my whole life." Iris looked puzzled.
Xing lowered his head, hid his hands under the table and fought in boredom. He only felt that he was sitting here at the age of 18, but he heard the words that he could say when he was 100 years old.
"Jiang Fan...this old man is a bit...interesting..." Xing moved his chair nervously and lowered his voice.
Jiang Fan glanced at Xing and thought to himself that the small words were quite elegant. He knew that it would be interesting to replace the word "weird" with the word "weird". It's rare to see you learn to save the country through curves.
The old man in front of him is the same as Xing.
It's not an exaggeration to say that the two of them are rotten fish looking for rotten shrimps. Maybe Xing's only advantage is that she is not lewd. At least she doesn't collect socks. After all, there are no socks in the trash can.
But he could feel that this old man had a power comparable to that of an envoy in his body. Although it was not worth mentioning, he was still among the best among mortals.
"So you know who took away the star core, right? It's so slow, could it be that he is really your illegitimate child?" Theresa rolled her eyes and looked at Iris, whose nose was smoking.
"How is that possible?" Iris raised her voice, "I always have safety measures in place..."
Before she could finish her words, Theresa across the table stood up and slashed with a tomahawk, and struck Iris on the head with a knife, which made him hold back the rest of his words.
Iris touched his forehead, stared into those tiger-like eyes, and sighed: "Curiosity kills people... A robin is just curious. Why is a little girl like you getting involved? For the sake of the family?"
"I'm not asking you for the sake of my family, I'm just asking you for the people of Pinoconi and to keep the promise of the robin." Theresa stared into Alice's eyes and sat down slowly.
"So in the world, idiots like you who volunteer are always the easiest to die first." Iris exhaled a puff of smoke, "Do you think that what the robin can know, Sunday and others don't know?"
Theresa was silent for a while: "I don't care whether they know it or not, as long as I know, it's enough for me to have a clear conscience."
"That's great, Theresa." Iris grinned, "What do you want to know? My schedule is very free in the afternoon."
"Who stole the star core?"
"Misha, a young guy. I guess you don't know him, but he is not your type. Don't you like tall and handsome guys? He is a very reserved and thin guy... "
"Stop! Where is the star core?" Theresa interrupted Iris with a blushing face.
"It was somewhere in the Meteor Hour jurisdiction 14 hours ago. I don't know now. Maybe it has gone to other places."
"Since you know everything, why are you still hiding it? Is he really your illegitimate son? Is he your estranged son?"
"Of course not. Misha is not my son, but he is someone else's son, or maybe his grandson. In short, the issue about his identity is very complicated, but that is for you. As long as you know that the star core is Just in his hand." Ellis held his pipe in his mouth, and when he spoke, smoke came out.
"To be honest, Theresa, there is no need for you to get involved. It is no different from an ant arm wrestling an elephant. This is an internal matter within the family. Your identity is too sensitive.
Theresa stood up slowly while holding on to the edge of the table: "Thank you for your advice, Mr. Ellis, but I am not alone."
"Oh? So these three are the special soldiers you invited?" Iris exhaled a puff of smoke and looked at them with a smile in his eyes.
Xingzang's hands fighting with each other under the table suddenly stopped. Three seconds after the shutdown, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Theresa's determined eyes full of disbelief.
no no! What a fair!
Didn’t we break the axle of the wedding car while traveling? Why does it have to be related to the Star Core family again?
Xing quickly looked at Jiang Fan, meaning brother, please come out and explain, so that this old man won't get misunderstood, and don't involve us in any Xinghe case again.
You can't think of me as Conan, right? Where should I drill if there is a star core? I'm just here to break the axle of the wedding car. I really don't want to deal with Star Core!
Unexpectedly, Jiang Fan didn't care at all about Elise's scrutinizing gaze and Theresa's self-concerned words. He also turned his gaze to the ceiling, and covered Elise's hand with his hand under the table to knead it.
There was a calmness about "Yes, I don't even bother to listen to just the star core. I can solve the star core problem easily", and Xinglian even wanted to die.
She missed March 7 a little. At least if March was sitting here, she might have let out a small sigh in surprise, then raised her head innocently and asked, 'Is this really happening? ’

I used to like overbearing president stories and time-traveling palace stories when I was 16. Later, when I got a little older, I liked reading half-hearted stories. When I was 18, I couldn’t read any cool stories. I always felt that I was brainless. But now I’m 23. Whenever the protagonist eats I can’t stand any loss at all!
