Chapter 78 Poisoning

The sailboats watching the Papadoros family escape from Fort Wiscari disappeared from sight, and the originally peaceful expression on Duke Leo's face gradually disappeared and became gloomy. Although he was uneasy, Madame Agnes's complete departure as a hidden danger undoubtedly made him finally relieved. He knew that both Justinian and Anastasius had doubted him a little, and that was why he made a quick decision and did not leave any handle.

However, when the man thought that all this was about to end, the dazzling fire suddenly illuminated the dim sea surface. The fuel mixed with asphalt and tinder oil was used as lighting objects, instantly dispelling the darkness of the night and leaving nothing to hide. This surprised Leosgross. He suddenly felt that he looked in a terrifying direction the sailboat was sailing. He saw a fleet blocking the bay, blocking the direction that Countess Agnes wanted to escape, and had no way out.

Looking at the ship that suddenly appeared, Duke Leo changed color and said in a lost voice: "How is this possible? Haven't they left?" He clearly remembered that the day after defeating the Venetians, the fleet left Fort Wiscarri, so he was relieved to arrange for Agnes and the others to escape from the sea, but it was obvious that the other party had already prepared and had been waiting for them.

"I didn't expect you to be so surprised, Duke Leo." At this moment, Justinian's voice appeared behind Leo Sgross, which made the man's heart suddenly feel cold.

"It's you..." Duke Leo, who had a pale face, then reacted, and a few words popped out from his teeth. Looking at Justinian standing behind him, he wanted to pounce immediately. He never expected that Justinian had predicted his plan one step faster, and had already arranged everything and set up this game directly, which made Leo Sgross' original plan completely bankrupt.

Justinian nodded calmly and replied, "It's indeed my arrangement. These days, my friends at sea have been waiting for this moment to come. Now I arrest you on suspicion of collusion with the enemy, Leosgros! And you will be responsible for every move you do next, every word you say." After saying that, Byzantine soldiers who had already prepared behind Justinian walked up to surround Leosgros and others, and everyone beside Leosgros was surrendered. They were completely caught off guard, and they didn't even have room to resist. Even Leosgros did not expect Justinian to suddenly attack, so that he was helpless without any equipment.

Looking at this scene, even if someone wanted to resist, he yelled at Justinian, but was immediately pressed down by the people around him and could not move.

But until then, Duke Leo remained calm and put away his dark blue look. The man who pretended to be calm looked at Justinian and asked, "I don't understand what your words mean, Lord Justinian."

Seeing this, Justinian sneered and bowed down to the man's ear in front of him and whispered: "I have to admire you. You can still remain calm at this time, but I have suffered a lot from you in the past few days. Sgross, you wouldn't think I would swallow this so much!"

Justinian's deep words were inaudible, but in Duke Leo's ears, it looked like thunder. He had to admit that the young man in front of him also felt a little afraid. He endured his savings at this moment with thunder. He attacked with thunder at this moment, like a superb swordsman's move, without any negligence or hesitation.

At this time, Leosgros felt a huge sense of crisis for the first time covering his head.

But how could this man easily admit defeat? He pretended to be innocent and defended loudly:

"This is simply a naked slander, Justinian, but do you know what you are doing? Just as you, an outsider, want to be above us Morians, don't be fooled. I am the Duke of Corinth, and I am not at your mercy, you, a little governor, at will!" The words seemed to be full of indignation were full of incitement. Every word pointed directly at the identity of Justinian's outsider, but this might work for the nobles, but the soldiers around Justinian were indifferent to it at this time.

Justinian even sneered and laughed: "These words may be useful when they arrive at the judge's seat. But how can these comrades who are moving forward and retreating with me and experience life and death be shaken by your words?"

After saying that, Justinian waved his hand and then these Byzantine soldiers escorted Leosgros and others to take them down. At the same time, the warships of Genoa on the sea had already controlled the sailboats of the Papadoros family's escape and forced them back to the shore. It was the agreement Justinian had reached with Bantic before that they could set up this game in one fell swoop.

But when the ship was docked on the shore, Justinian felt something was wrong. The people of the Papadoros family on the ship seemed to be in a panic. It was obvious that something was happening on the ship.

At this moment, the boat had just stopped on the shore, and the girl with pear blossoms ran down from the deck in panic. It was Mrs. Agnes's daughter Alexia. When she saw Justinian, she asked for help helplessly: "Mr. Justinian, please save my mother! Please save her, no matter what she did before, please!"

Justinian was also confused when he saw that the people of the Papadoros family were venting blood and not only lost their consciousness, Mrs. Agnes was completely panicked.

"What's going on?" Justinian asked. Although he had only met Alexia, Agnes was undoubtedly the key to demonstrating Leos Gross. Obviously the woman seemed to be poisoned. Suddenly, Justinian realized something was wrong. He immediately asked someone to go to the city to find a doctor. The Duke of Leo, who witnessed all this from afar, let out a low sneer. It seemed that the preparations he had made before were not unnecessary. Compared to the living, the dead were the safest. What he said to Countess Agnes before was actually more to make the other party relax his vigilance. It was precisely this way that the Duke of Leo successfully made the other party drink the poisoned wine without any defense.
