C296 How Could This be Explained?
One of the guards was holding a box in his hand. It was the box where the Vermilion Fruit was placed. Actually, when Ouyang Tian and the others came in... The people from the Blood-Red Mercenary Regiment had noticed the box. They had been looking at it, intentionally or unintentionally.
Captain Parker knew that the box contained Vermilion Fruit, and the effect of the Vermilion Fruit... The higher ups of their mercenary group also knew about it, and he was very envious of it. He came here to cause trouble for the Ouyang Family, not for the members of his mercenary group and the deputy Captain. It was more like it was because of this Vermilion Fruit.
The Vermilion Fruit had a great effect on one's cultivation. Furthermore, he had been stuck at a bottleneck for a period of time. If he consumed this Vermilion Fruit... Furthermore, his cultivation speed would increase by a lot in the future. No one in the entire empire could ignore such a thing that could significantly increase their strength.
However, after obtaining the Vermilion Fruit, he happened to be heading to another city for some business. That was why he had placed it on the Deputy Captain. Later on, he heard from the team members who had escaped that the Vermilion Fruit had been snatched away. The other team members had also been killed. He had been furious at that time. His first reaction wasn't to take revenge, but to quickly take back the Vermilion Fruit. Otherwise, if the other party were to consume the ___ after a long period of time... Even if he killed the other party's entire family, the Vermilion Fruit wouldn't be able to return.
As for the matter of the deputy Captain being killed, he seemed very angry on the surface. However, he felt somewhat happy in his heart. He even felt a little grateful to Ouyang Xingwen. Because that deputy Captain's prestige had already surpassed his own, and he had always disagreed with him. He always opposed him. In the team, there were still many people who supported him. Captain Parker had long wanted to find an excuse to push him away, but he didn't expect Ouyang Xingwen to help him solve this problem by accident.
Furthermore, there was only one Vermilion Fruit. If he consumed it directly... The deputy Captain would definitely have some objections. Of course... It could also be split into two, but if that was the case, the effect would definitely not be as good as anyone consuming it. Therefore, after the death of the deputy Captain, no one else would share the Vermilion Fruit with him. Captain Parker was naturally happy.
When the guards of Ouyang Family handed over the box, Captain Parker didn't need anyone's help. He took the initiative to take the box. However... After he took the box in his hand, he found that the box had been opened. Moreover, it was violently opened, so he looked at Ouyang Tian with some dissatisfaction. Obviously, this box must have been opened by someone from the Ouyang Family. It was more likely that it was opened by the master of the Ouyang Family in front of him.
"I did open this box, but don't worry. I didn't take anything from it. I didn't exchange it." Ouyang Tian saw the look in the man's eyes and naturally understood what he was thinking. He took the initiative to speak.
Captain Parker nodded. The man probably didn't take the Vermilion Fruit from the box, or else he wouldn't have brought the box with him. He couldn't have brought it with him to play tricks on him.
However, although he thought so, but... Captain Parker was still a little worried. After all, the Vermilion Fruit was too precious. Therefore, he opened the box in front of his face, wanting to see the Vermilion Fruit inside. Only then could he truly feel at ease.
When he saw Parker's action, a trace of anger flashed across Ouyang Tian's face. This Parker's action was clearly telling everyone that he didn't believe Ouyang Tian's words. When had Ouyang Tian ever been doubted like this?
However, Ouyang Tian wasn't the only one who was angry. After Parker opened the box, Ouyang Tian was the only one who was angry. ... When he saw what was inside, he was stunned. Then, everyone could clearly see that his anger was constantly surging. His expression became increasingly malevolent and terrifying.
Parker had never thought that this Ouyang Tian was really toying with him. He actually exchanged the things inside before returning them to him. This was a blatant lie. Could it be that ___ thought that he was a man with a good temper? Or had he not killed enough of their servants and guards in the past few days? This was obviously provoking him.
Ouyang Tian also noticed the change in Parker's facial expression. He instinctively felt that something was not right. However, he also felt the same in his heart. He was still angry. I have already returned the item to you, but you still dare to be angry? Could it be because I broke your broken box?
"Master of Ouyang Family, how do you explain this?!" Parker took out the apple from the box, threw the box away, and held the apple in front of him. He said to Ouyang Tian with a ferocious expression.
When Parker took out the apple, there was a commotion behind him. Because he knew that the inside of the box should be Vermilion Fruit, and not just Parker alone. A few mercenaries also knew about it. Obviously, something had happened here and the item had been replaced.
"What do you mean by how to explain it? Didn't you see it yourself? You still want to ask me?" Ouyang Tian said in confusion. Parker was clearly holding the fruit in his hand. Why was he still questioning him with an unhappy face? Was this person a fool?
"You!" Parker did not expect that Ouyang Tian would not admit it even though he had already taken out the item. So he said, "I am also here to negotiate with sincerity. But... Now, it seems like the master of Ouyang Family is playing tricks on us. Is he looking down on us, Bloody? "
Ouyang Tian frowned and said," Looking down on us? I don't understand what you mean."
"Isn't that so? You dropped the things inside the bag, yet you still dare to blatantly deceive us. Isn't this not putting us in your eyes?" Parker questioned.
"Change the bag?" Ouyang Tian shook his head and said, "I didn't. I just opened the box and looked at the things inside. I didn't change the bag. If I really wanted to eat your things, I wouldn't have brought this thing with me. "
" But you did change it! This thing is not the thing we obtained before! " Parker also felt that what Ouyang Tian said made sense. But... The truth was undeniable. Although he had never seen this thing before... It was indeed not a Vermilion Fruit. The Vermilion Fruit had disappeared!
"No?" Ouyang Tian was stunned. He did not expect this to happen either. He subconsciously turned to look at his son. Could it be that his son had changed his contract?
"Father, I did not do that. You saw that the box was still locked." Ouyang Xingwen saw his father's eyes and quickly explained.
