"I..." Jeffrey gasped violently, with various thoughts swirling in his mind.

Why did he know that I would lie to him like that?

How did he know I was going to lie to him?

Could he see through my thoughts?

How did he know about the box?

What else does he know?

Is he a human or some kind of devil?

Jeffrey's mind was filled with so many complicated thoughts that he seemed to be filled with liquid. The big gun that kept swinging in front of his eyes stimulated his adrenaline to secrete like crazy.

After a while, he felt that his mouth was dry and his whole body was a little exhausted.

"I... don't know." He finally gave an answer.

"I don't know?" Li Jiu was not angry, but seemed to smile even more happily, "Jeffrey, you think my gun is too loud and will attract people, so you don't dare to fire it, right? It doesn't matter, you don't have to.

I’m worried, it’s still a long way from Tut Harbor City, and no one will hear it…”

Saying this, Li Jiu completely aimed his ambition at Jeffrey's head.

"No, no, no, sir, Lord Baron, Master, Master, Master Ince, I'm telling the truth, I really didn't lie to you!" Jeffrey spoke quickly, so fast that he was a little incoherent, "I

I really didn’t lie to you, this is what happened..."

He starts telling stories again.

Li Jiu stared into his eyes and moved the gun closer.

He couldn't let him stop and think. What he thought about might often be lies.

"The box is not with me. It's true. I didn't search it from Palos' house back then. That bastard, old Johnny, was very tough. I didn't ask. His son and Jerrys didn't know either. It's true. I didn't."

Lie, if I had found that box, I would have dedicated it to the Funke family long ago, and the Funke family would not be as weak as it is now, then you..." At the last sentence, Jeffrey realized that he had made a mistake.

, shut up immediately, mainly because what he just said was too hasty, and nothing was said out of his head.

Li Jiu didn't care about this. What he cared about was that he seemed to have been mistaken about one thing, that is, the Rush family was not the descendants of Affleck. He mainly blamed his ancestors for not writing in the diary.

It took me a long time to figure out the full name, and it turned out that Jerrys was the descendant of Affleck.

But think about it, with the level of trust our ancestors have in Affleck, no matter what happens, their family cannot be a white-eyed wolf like Rush. A bloody fight to the end is what they should do.

The Palos family indeed resisted to the end.

Also, it sounds like Jeffrey and the Palos family are not what he said before. This old boy seems to be the culprit who destroyed the Palos family. This is interesting.

Li Jiu was thinking in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm. He put the gun directly on Jeffrey's forehead and said, "Tell me everything about that year."

"Yes, yes, Master." Jeffrey nodded quickly, "It was actually when I was drinking with Johnny once. He was drunk and revealed this secret to me. Their ancestors were influenced by the first Baron Fokker.

I was entrusted to keep a box under my care, and that box contained something that could control the power underground in Funk Castle. Later, the Funk family took full control of Tut, and they were liquidating people from the Falk family everywhere. I didn’t want to die, so I took refuge.

Fink, also offered this secret, and then led a team to search for Palos' house, but they couldn't find it..."

"That is to say, you killed Johnny's whole family, and then adopted his son under false pretenses, and trained him to be your thug, working for you, and lied to him that it was the Funke family who did it. You are really

What a bastard." Even though Li Jiu had underestimated the bottom line of Jeffrey, an old dog, he never expected that he could be so shameless.

"Hehehehe... who asked Johnny to marry Mary, if Mary hadn't died in childbirth...hehehehe..." Jeffrey just smiled ingratiatingly, without any embarrassment at all.

What a pure beast.

"But it's wrong. You killed the Palos family, but left behind a direct bloodline. You trained him for so many years and now you are still raising his son. Isn't it just a bad idea? You still have something to hide from me." Li

After thinking about it for a long time, I discovered a loophole.

Jeffrey may have some bad taste, but he is essentially a businessman, and he will not do so much just for a bad taste.

"No, no, no, Master..." Jeffrey's heart tightened, but he didn't expect Li Jiu to see it, and immediately said, "Of course I don't dare to hide it from you, I was just about to say, in fact, I didn't find nothing at that time, I checked

When I went to the Paros family, I found a suicide note from the ancestor of the Paros family. The suicide note contained clues about the box. There was a sentence in it that said, 'Our blood is connected to it, the blood is continuous, and the connection is continuous.' So I

One person stayed behind and kept raising Jerrys, but nothing was discovered, really."

"Oh, and also, the suicide note is in the safe in my study. It also contains all the bills I deposited in the Pirate Bank, as well as some land deeds. I dedicate them all to you, Master. The key to the safe is in my pocket.

Here, the one with the iron hook mark, don’t kill me, young master, I will be your most loyal dog from now on, and so will the Rush family."

Li Jiu didn't say anything, but just rummaged through his pocket first, and indeed found out a bunch of keys, one of which had an iron hook mark.

In this case, the clues are not broken yet. We just need to confirm the suicide note first and then go to see Jerrys.

Fortunately, Jerrys can tell from the comments he saw that night that he is now willing to serve him, so there is a lot of room for discussion.

Besides, doesn’t Li Jiu have a big gift for him?

There is also the other contents of the suicide note. After all, it was Affleck's suicide note. In addition to confirming the box, we also have to see if there is any other information.

To be honest, after reading two fragments of his ancestor Bernard's diary, Li Jiu became really curious about what happened to his ancestor back then.

What exactly happened that year?

"Master, do you believe me?" Seeing Li Jiu confirm the key, Jeffrey immediately licked his face and said.

"You have been the Funke family's dog for many years, and now you are almost swallowing up their family. I don't dare to let you be my dog." Li Jiu patted Jeffrey's face with the muzzle of his gun.

Jeffrey immediately expressed his loyalty: "Master, the Fink family is an intruder. I have always cherished the Fokker family. I would never dare to do this to the Fokker family. I swear!"

If his hands and feet hadn't been tied up, he would have been lying on the ground and crawling like a dog.

"Okay, then you should learn how to bark twice first." Li Jiu said with a smile.

"Woof woof woof woof!" Jeffrey didn't hesitate at all.

Li Jiu knocked him unconscious with the butt of his rifle, cursed secretly that it was really a sword grave, stood up and asked the deep diver Matt who was hiding beside him to keep an eye on him, while he disappeared into the moonlight again.
