Chapter 497: Chapter 219 Dark Knight, Death Knight_2

"Don’t you also have secrets?"

"It’s not the same, my secret has already been exposed, while Austin’s has not,"

Wayne sighed with a worried heart, "As the family heir, just thinking about a ticking time bomb buried at home that could blow Lando Manor to smithereens at any moment makes my heart uneasy."

Ronica swatted away the hand that reached for her chest and scoffed, "Don’t pretend to be the good guy; he’s no good, and neither are you. You both have secrets."

Wayne snorted, "You better not wrongfully accuse someone without evidence."

"What kind of good guy are you, a lecher nonetheless, who obviously resisted the succubus’s seduction yet still swallowed his saliva."

"That’s out of respect. Beauty is beauty. Besides, I helped block the succubus’s seduction for you, and you also swallowed your saliva," Wayne muttered under his breath, naturally earning himself a punch.

Veronica threw a punch to hide her embarrassment and had to admit that the succubus indeed was beautiful, still feeling her mouth dry and tongue parched at the thought of her.

It truly made one want to lock the succubus in the basement, and then...

Boom!

A loud noise.

Veronica leaped from wayne and hastened to the window to see the human cannonball, with Wayne following closely behind, both standing by the window chuckling like fools.

"Hmph, filthy fireworks, just a dud."

Wayne’s smile froze as he sensed Veronica’s unfriendly gaze and hurriedly said, "Veronica, the teacher has many merits, she’s gentle, kind, sympathetic—you’re her daughter; you ought to learn the good and not everything..."

"Besides, I previously nearly exhausted my thoughts to protect you, I can’t stand to be hurt again."

"Veronica, say it, you can’t bear it!"

The effect was moderate, but Wayne had his meeting with Austin in the grove.

The two social trash straightened their slicked-back hair, resuming their self-righteous, polished appearance—one silent, the other toying with an ancient silver coin without a word.

"Wayne, what secret are you hiding, after all?"

"Austin, what secret are you hiding, after all?"

"..."x2

Austin snorted coldly, waiting for Megan to arrive with her medical kit before instructing her to lay down a soundproof barrier.

"Don’t isolate us yet."

Wayne, all smiles, paid his respects to the Giant Dragon, and since it was an elder, he didn’t inquire whether the Dragon was willing to switch allegiances for additional pay.

He took the medical kit, bandaging his head first: "Alright, now you can isolate."

Megan rolled her eyes and waved her hand to put up the soundproof barrier.

"Wayne, I know you’re hiding a secret. I underestimated you before, but I won’t in the future," Austin declared preemptively.

"Aren’t you doing the same?"

"No, it’s different. I’m the head of the family; I must understand my own heir!"

Austin insisted, "I didn’t care about your secrets before because they could be trivial or serious. Now it’s different; your secrets have attracted too much attention, posing a great risk to the family’s safety."

"Aren’t you doing the same?"

"..."

Austin fell silent, his face dark as he continued to fiddle with the ancient silver coin in his hand.

Wayne eyed the coin and played the victim, "You don’t speak, I don’t speak. We’ll surely test each other for some time to come, and infighting will only drain the resources of the Lando Family, deepening our misunderstandings and making the already precarious father-to-son, bah, father-in-law to son-in-law relationship even worse."

"So, what then?"

"Is there a chance we could exchange secrets, come clean with each other?"

Outside the barrier, Megan sneaked up to listen.

"Fine, but you go first!"

"No way, you go first, I don’t trust you."

"Neither do I."

"..."x2

With the conversation having reached this point, there was basically no more room for discussion.

Austin and Wayne were both willing to give each other another chance, with the latter speaking directly to the outside of the barrier, "Megan, go to the study for pen and paper."

Under Austin’s speechless gaze, Megan swiftly left.

Why are you leaving, is this the time for you to leave?

"Hahaha——"

Once Megan had left, Wayne’s mouth turned up at the corners, smiling especially smugly: "Just as I thought, the soundproof barrier can’t stop Megan, it never could, and this time is no exception. You’re alert against the teacher, Megan knows your biggest secret, but the teacher doesn’t."

Austin’s body stiffened, clutching the ancient silver coin tightly.

Wayne chuckled lightly, "Rest assured, I am here to join this family, not to tear it apart. I won’t say much in front of the teacher, and you do the same. In exchange, don’t badmouth me in front of Veronica."

Austin relaxed a bit, grinding his teeth, "You’ve said quite a few bad things about me today!"

"Aren’t you doing the same?"

"..."

"Moreover, what I said wasn’t bad mouthing, it was the truth. Your relationship with Megan is too close, if you hadn’t slept with her, you wouldn’t trust her unconditionally. Poor teacher, still kept in the dark!" Wayne’s face showed anger, no, jealousy.

Austin didn’t say anything but smiled meaningfully, revealing the countenance of a successful person.

Because he was Old Login, Wayne couldn’t discern anything from that face. Not wanting to see the other man’s self-satisfaction, he snorted coldly, "I will continue to investigate your betrayal of the teacher. Don’t let me find evidence, or I will definitely tell her."

"You too, you’ve been behind Veronica’s back outside..."

Whoosh!

Wayne pulled out a document from his chest.

Austin: (눈益눈)

Caught off guard!

Austin frowned as well, "You’ve already secured your secretary, Mona has always been your mole, the document is just an excuse... Wait a minute, what about the High Priestess of the Moonlight Church, what’s your relationship with her?"

Wayne didn’t say anything but smiled meaningfully, revealing the countenance of a successful person.

Because it was him, Austin came to a swift realization, "You’ve tainted their will with your thoughts, making them betray their faith and obey you unquestioningly."
