Chapter 837 Puppet (Part 1)

"Drink..."

These words from Popov, his only friend, aroused Adair's desire to drink.

Since he also wanted to drink, Adair generously invited Popov:

"Popov, wait a minute. If you don't mind, come to my house for a drink. It's been a long time since the two of us drank together."

"Oh? Really?" Popov's eyes lit up, "Then let's go! Let's go to your house for a drink. It's been a long time since the two of us drank together!"

Popov is one of the very few people in the Holy Hiran Empire who does not have "xenophobic" thoughts.

Because he has no "xenophobic" ideas, Popov will naturally not discriminate against Adair because of his bloodline.

It was precisely because he never discriminated against Adair that he was able to get along with Adair and become Adair's only friend.

The two of them had never had a drink together since they came to the Southwest Front, so they hit it off and walked side by side towards Adair's residence.

…

…

Adair and Popov didn't know that not far away from them, there was a pair of eyes looking at them without any emotion.

After hearing that the two planned to go to Adair's house to drink together, the owner of these eyes, a short man, frowned slightly.

Then he said to his partner who was standing next to him and helping him guard:

"Adair planned to go to his house with a general to drink."

"The person who is going to drink with Adair seems to be Adair's friend - First Class Military Attaché Popov."

"They actually went to Adair's house for a drink together. This was a perfect opportunity to use the 'envelope'."

"Let's do it tonight."

After saying that, the short man took out a stack of envelopes from his arms.

"Let's go quickly. We have to arrive at Adair's house to arrange it before the two of them do."

…

…

Chupol Fortress, Adair's home.

The people of Hiram are all fond of wine. Although Adair has Britannian blood flowing in his body, because he has lived in the Holy Hiram Empire since his birth, Adair has also been infected with the blood of the Hiram people. As a habit, he has become a person who loves wine and cannot be happy without wine.

Adair and Popov were drinking and chatting, and the atmosphere was so disharmonious and pleasant.

Because Adair has been in a good mood recently, he drank more alcohol today than before. Even after drinking a large bottle of wine with Popov, he didn't feel drunk at all.

Popov, who was already a little tipsy, looked at Adair who was still in good spirits and said in surprise:

"When did your drinking capacity become so good? When I used to drink with you, you were always the one who got drunk first."

"Hahaha." Adair chuckled a few times, "Maybe it's because he's been in a better mood recently."

After saying that, Adair opened a bottle of wine again.

"Come on, let's have another bottle. Today is a rare day where you can be fine even if you're drunk, so we two have to have a good drink today."

"Hahahaha, that's right! I'm ready to drink it and lie down at your house!"

Just when the two were about to open another bottle of wine and continue drinking, a strange scream suddenly sounded outside the house.

"What's going on?" Adair frowned and looked out the window, "Why is there screaming?"

"Did someone encounter a robber on the way?" Popov said in a deep voice.

After saying that, Popov stood up.

"Let me go outside and take a look.

"

However, as soon as Popov stood up, Adair pushed him back to the chair.

"No, no, no, sit down."

"I'll just go."

"Popov, aren't you a little drunk now? My mental state is better than yours, so it's better for me to go."

"You can drink slowly by yourself first. I'll be back soon."

After that, Adair put on his shoes and walked out of the house without waiting for Popov's consent.

Since Adair had already gone out, Popov naturally had no choice but to do so.

Popov slowly sipped the wine while waiting for Adair to come back.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Huh?" Popov looked at the knocked door with confusion.

——Is it Adair?

——No... Adair just went out, there's no way he could come back so soon.

——And Adair has the key, so there is no way he can knock on the door.

——Who is that?

"Who is it?"

Popov asked loudly, walking quickly towards the door.

After opening the door of the house, Popov saw clearly the appearance of the visitor.

Popov did not recognize the man who suddenly knocked on Adair's door.

This person is a short young man. Judging from his clothing, he seems to be just an ordinary citizen in Chupol Fortress.

Before Popov could ask the person's identity, the person immediately asked:

"Excuse me...are you from the army?"

"Huh? Yes, I am. I am First Class Popov, who is affiliated with the Southwest Front."

"Ah, great..." The short young man seemed to be relieved and patted his chest, "Popov, wait a minute! I want to report someone to you!"

"Report someone?" Popov frowned, "Report who?",

"He is the owner of this room!"

"Acheson, first?" Popov's eyes widened, "You! What are you talking about?!"

"Please, please calm down!" The short young man seemed to be frightened by Popov's roar just now, and shrank back, "Please listen to my explanation slowly!"

"A few days ago, I ran into the owner of this house in the city by chance."

"He looked sneaky at that time, so I followed him out of curiosity."

"After following him, I found that he was talking to someone in a corner of the city."

"Because the distance was a bit far, I didn't hear what they were saying, but I vaguely heard words like "Britannia Empire", "Su Cheng", "Please" and so on..."

"After the two of them finished talking, the man stuffed an envelope into the owner of this room."

"Then I continued to follow the owner of this room."

"After talking to the man and accepting the envelope, the owner of this room went straight home."

"This is the general of the army "This is the residence of the officers, so I didn't know that the owner of this room was a general officer in the army until I saw the owner of this room come back here with my own eyes."

"I suspect that the owner of this room might be doing some kind of deal with the people of the Britannia Empire..."

"So I have been looking for a chance to report him."

"But I don't know anyone in the army, so I haven't found a chance to report him."

"I just happened to see you and the owner of this room enter this room together."

"I just saw the owner of this room go out, so I had the courage to come to you to see if you are a military officer."

"I'm glad you are a general officer! Please be sure to report to your superiors! Investigate the owner of this room carefully!"
