"So I didn't listen to his orders."
"Insisted on coming to work."
"As expected, things weren't as simple as he made them out to be."
"Yesterday I just guessed that the long-nosed guy might come to harass the young lady again."
"I never imagined that the mastermind behind all of this was actually the head butler."
As she spoke, the assistant housekeeper, Meili, began to feel sad again.
Then, using all his strength, he supported his body once more.
He leaned his back against the wall. 08.
"Did it start yesterday?"
"Have all the servants been given a holiday?"
"The purpose was all for today's operation?"
The young lady felt that this head butler was becoming more and more terrifying.
"Yes, he started taking action as early as three years ago."
"It's just that these three years are part of his plan."
"It seems that today is the crucial moment for him to decide on his final action."
"That means what that long-nosed guy said yesterday was true."
"Many pirates will attack this village today."
"This heartless bastard has really let down the young lady's good intentions."
"This morning, when I saw the head butler returning from outside."
"I thought he had been out running around all night dealing with family matters."
"Looking back now, it must have been the beach."
"He instructed his men on how to attack the village today."
"I was actually quite happy at the time."
"Give him the gift you prepared for his third anniversary."
"That is to say, when he received that brand new pair of glasses."
"But when he took the glasses, the expression on his face was unusually strange."
"Unlike usual, I wouldn't be overjoyed to receive the young lady's favor."
"This time, he simply discarded the young lady's gift and trampled it under his feet."
"What a pity about those glasses; they also failed to meet the young lady's expectations."
"My glasses were smashed."
The assistant housekeeper, Meili, raised her hand with difficulty and pointed to the pair of glasses that had been crushed next to her.
The young lady looked in the direction that the assistant butler, Mei Li, was pointing.
Sure enough, it was on the ground not far away.
The expensive glasses that I had carefully chosen for him had been trampled into pieces.
It lay quietly on the floor.
It seemed as if he wanted to tell the young lady about his tragic experience that morning every minute.
Now the young lady is even more convinced of what the assistant butler, Melly, said.
He also became even more convinced that everything Usopp did to him yesterday was entirely for his own good.
They wanted to rescue him.
"None of that matters anymore."
"Now that we've seen through his true colors, what should we do next?"
"It doesn't matter if I die alone, but I can't let the villagers in the whole village be implicated."
"If there really are that many pirates attacking the village."
"Then the villagers in this village will suffer."
"Those pirates don't care about anything; they kill anyone they see and rob any gold or silver they find."
"I don't want to drag everyone down with me."
The young lady's face showed a troubled expression.
But his gaze gradually hardened.
They were already prepared to die and were determined to fight Captain Crowe to the death.
Even someone as timid as Usopp.
They even mustered up such courage to challenge Captain Crook.
Chapter 917 Did he see through everything?
What else can I escape from?
Moreover, this matter was mainly caused by myself.
"If the villagers had believed what Usopp said yesterday, they would have escaped to the sea sooner."
"Now there won't be so much trouble."
"If only we had all believed what that brave young man said yesterday."
"Captain Crowe's plan will fall through today."
"That's why Captain Kuro discovered it, and Usopp learned the truth."
"The reason why Usopp wasn't killed immediately."
"Because he had already made up his mind in his heart."
Even if Usopp told the truth, no one would believe him.
"Everyone thinks he's still just fooling the villagers."
"Because this guy is like that all the time, he often tricks everyone."
"It's gotten to the point where none of the villagers know which of his statements are true and which are false."
"This is what the assistant housekeeper, Mei Li, continued."
"Did he see through everything?"
"Everything is under his control, which is why he is so proud of himself."
The young lady's courage, which she had just mustered, vanished in an instant.
Since the matter is already settled and cannot be changed.
So, no matter what I do, it won't make any difference?
Is there no way to rescue all the villagers?
We've all become trapped like turtles in a jar or birds in a cage.
Are we like lambs waiting to be slaughtered on a chopping board, at the mercy of others?
"There's one more detail I want to tell you, Miss."
"Hey Miss, do you know why that guy always uses his palm to push up his glasses?"
"He never uses his own fingers."
"When my glasses fall off, I always use my palm to push them back up."
"Moreover, he performed this action very naturally."
"It's as if there's always something invisible on his fingernails."
"It prevents him from using his fingers flexibly."
The assistant housekeeper, Meryl, recalled the gloves the head housekeeper had been wearing that morning.
Then it dawned on me.
The head butler's little habit of adjusting his glasses.
Sure enough, it was inextricably linked to the gloves he was wearing with five sharp knives attached.
He killed people habitually while wearing those gloves.
Therefore, his fingers were the tools he used to kill.
I usually use my palm to push up my glasses; I just can't break that habit.
Is that so?
"I think I noticed it too, but I didn't think much of it."
"I thought it was just his personal habit."
"I didn't expect things to be this serious. Could it be that he had already left some clues?"
"We just don't want to pry into his little tricks."
"So I always thought of him as a good person and kept him by my side."
"Now look what's happened! Raising a tiger has become a problem; it's truly like letting a wolf into the house." (Nuohaohao)
The young lady carefully recalled the detail of the head butler, Krabatel, pushing up his glasses.
Then he suddenly realized and said.
"This morning, he used those gloves with sharp knives on them to beat me badly."
"This also reminds me of the legend from a few years ago, Captain Crocodile the Catman."
"Their pirate ship appeared in the public eye in the form of a cat."
