Chapter 841 The results of the trial
Whether Dan will do it or not was the standard by which Spencer judged his sincerity.
Dan didn't make a sound. Instead of immediately responding to Spencer's order as usual, he stood firmly on the spot, staring at Spencer suspiciously. owns this.
At this time, Spencer said and acted very strangely, so he decided to ask clearly.
"Sir, she's our last trump card. Are you sure you want to get rid of her immediately? If she dies, we will have no way out."
"You can't do it anymore?" Spencer raised his eyebrows at Dan and asked him sinisterly.
"Of course not..." Dan hesitated in answering, and, subconsciously, he glanced at Lucia and said,
"It just feels reckless to do so."
"Is it reckless?" When he saw Dan's hesitation, Spencer's suspicion reached its peak, and he decided to try him one last time. So when he was caught off guard, he suddenly rushed towards Lucia, clasping her with both hands. Lucia's neck began to tighten vigorously. This action did not last for three seconds when a huge impact hit her. Spencer was knocked away, but there was no trace of panic on his face as he fell on the ground, full of sarcasm.
Look! He was exposed.
Dan tried his best to knock Spencer away, and opened his hands unconsciously to protect Lucia in a protector's posture. When he met Spencer's eyes, he knew that he was impulsive. Spencer's eyes were full of consideration.
"Can you explain the situation?" Standing upright, Spencer asked Dan sarcastically.
Dan's arms protecting Lucia froze in mid-air, neither to continue nor to stop. For the first time, this calm and ruthless killer was hesitant.
"Why were you stalling for time in the first place? Why did you, who always only focus on keeping me safe, let me go out to negotiate alone? Why are you disobeying my orders now? Dan! I want you to explain it to me right away!" Spencer was aggressive.
Dan put his hand down unnaturally, but still pursed his lips and said nothing.
As he saw that Dan was silent and recalled that he was still protecting Lucia with both hands just now, his eyes looked hesitant but his movements were not muddled. Spencer had seen this kind of appearance before, and suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration. Maybe there was no relation between Arthur and Dan at all. There was no deal, and the handle he was holding was Dan's selfishness!
"Lucia, I really want to praise you a few words. You can even subdue a person like Dan whose heart has been cold for a long time!"
The damage caused by Spencer only lasted a few seconds, and Lucia's flushed cheeks instantly returned to normal, but Spencer's words made her frown in disgust.
Dan understood that Spencer had sensed his feelings for Lucia, and hiding it at this time will only increase his suspicion, so he admitted frankly.
"My feelings for her have nothing to do with business. Now I am still the bodyguard you invited, and I will not have any influence on your plan because of personal affairs."
"Heh, you dare to say it!" Spencer couldn't stop laughing, and asked Dan, "Is the person who knocked me away just now a ghost?"
"I just don't think now is the time to deal with her." Dan closed his eyes and said calmly.
"Of course I know," Spencer still stared at Dan. "I just tried you just now. I didn't expect you to be so tempted to try."
Dan was speechless for a moment. It turned out that he had doubted him from the very beginning, no wonder something was wrong when he came in.
"If we have an infighting now, Arthur will be the one who succeeds."
Although he really had a renunciation with Spencer because of Lucia, Dan didn't want to get into trouble with Spencer because of this matter. They were now in the same boat, sharing weal and woe. Spencer didn't say a word but just stared at Dan. Even though Dan didn't hide his feelings for Lucia now, he couldn't trust him 100% anymore. He didn't want to talk about why Arthur would notice his thoughts, but he can no longer rest assured that he would leave Lucia alone with him again.
"I failed to negotiate with Arthur. Maybe you can try it." Spencer suddenly suggested.
"I'm going?" Dan hesitated for a few seconds before saying anything.
"Of course, Arthur has already sensed your thoughts on Lucia. He is sure that you dare not do anything to her, but I am not. I want to kill her now! So it is most appropriate for me to take care of her. As for what you want to ask Arthur, you know it in your heart." Spencer said incredulously.
Leave him alone with Lucia? Dan's hesitation didn't fade away, and he even frowned slightly.
Spencer was very surprised to see Dan who was expressionless with hesitation on his face. He didn't expect Dan's feelings for Lucia to be so deep. After all, this man was a murderous person, and he was so cold-blooded that he would worry about Lucia so far. It seemed that it was really not possible to let them get along alone anymore.
"Dan, although you are a bodyguard hired by my father in name, you should not forget how you escaped from the hunt back then, right? You offended the Eastern European forces and was chased all the way to the USA. It was my father who came forward to settle the matter. I kept you at home. Indeed, you cleared up many obstacles for our family afterwards, but we're still kind to you, aren't we?"
"I haven't forgotten," Dan said.
"Then do as I say!" Spencer seemed to have regained control as he snapped, "Besides you and Lucia have no way!"
Dan frowned, but didn't have time to stop Spencer's next words.
"Lucia, haven't you been looking for the real culprit who killed Poppy? It's true that the mastermind is Jacob, and I might have been involved, but the one who pulled the trigger is Dan!" Spencer said without hesitation.
As soon as Spencer finished speaking, finally, anger appeared on Lucia's expressionless face. She frowned and stared at Dan. Although she had long guessed that it was him who did it, she got a definite answer today. Lucia's hatred reached its peak!
Very satisfied with Lucia's expression, Spencer continued,
"Dan is a good assassin. In such a late night, he was able to shoot Poppy between the eyebrows from hundreds of meters away. She didn't know what happened until she died."
"Enough!" Dan roared angrily, turning his back stiffly to Lucia, not daring to turn around to see how she would look at him.
Staring at Dan's hand, Lucia was furious, the hand that pulled the trigger and killed Poppy!
Moving like lightning, Lucia suddenly jumped up and slashed at Dan with her hand. She hated the mastermind, and she would not spare the assassin!
