Winters had no choice but to use this unreasonable madman. This time the woman in black had her fingers tied tightly by Winters to ensure that she would not secretly break away from the shackles for the second time.

Pushing the door out, Winters found Elizabeth lying on the door and eavesdropping.

"You are too brave." Winters felt scared, what if he could not subdue the woman in black just now and let her meet Elizabeth.

"Let me talk to her?" Elizabeth said confidently: "You and her are just shouting at each other, and I can definitely ask more than you."

Then Elizabeth was grabbed by Winters and locked into her own bedroom.

...

Antonio, who had sent the sheriff away, listened to Winters's talk about what had just happened and the whole story. How to deal with this woman in black finally had to listen to the parents' decisions, which was out of the scope of Winters' private affairs.

"You mean she might be Lavoisier's daughter?"

"It's like this from all signs, but there's no real evidence."

"What do you think?" Antonio asked for no reason.

"If she was really Antoine Laurent's daughter, the Lavoisier family's experience was too tragic. Antoine Laurent's orphan should be treated well. But now... she is a lunatic and completely unreasonable." Winters' mind was also instinctively trying to rely on his trusted adoptive father: "I don't know what to do, I will listen to you, uncle."

"Listen to me?" Antonio's eyes were cold: "Then let's take her to the suburbs and shoot her and dig a hole to bury her."

"It's not like this, right?" Winters was stunned.

In Winters' eyes, Antonio is a gentle husband and a kind father, which makes people subconsciously forget his other identity. This is the first time that Winters has seen his ruthless other side.

"Child, this is the solution once and for all. Do you know how big a storm will be involved in Antoine Laurent's daughter and notes? When someone knows that you hold this note, Cosci and your sister are living in danger. Whether she is Antoine Laurent's daughter or not, first ask for a question, then silence her, and we will deal with only one note." Antonio sighed: "But you will not agree, your sense of justice has not been smoothed out yet. Let's go and meet this lady together."

After saying that, Antonio walked up the stairs.

Winters recovered from his shock and followed Antonio and muttered quietly: "As long as you give orders, I will go and prepare the horse immediately."

"See her first, I hope you don't have to go that step." Antonio said without looking back.

...

Pushing open the door of the room, there was an unexpected person in the room, and Elizabeth was sitting by the bed and chatting with the woman in black.

Seeing her father and brother enter the room, Elizabeth explained to the two: "She is Sophia, and she wants her father's relics."

Winters was shocked and even knew his name? Is there any special way of communication between women?

"Ela, go back to your own room." Antonio slowly ordered his daughter.

Although Elizabeth never listened to Antonio's doting, she could see that the atmosphere was becoming solemn, and she walked out of the room in silence.

Antonio sat on the chair beside the bed, and Winters stood behind his adoptive father, holding a steel cone in his hand - the kind with a pointed one.

"I am Antonio Serbiati. What do you want me to call you?" Antonio greeted politely.

The woman in black who seemed to have had a good chat with Elizabeth just now snorted coldly but did not answer.

"Who is General Antoine Laurent?" Antonio came straight to the point and got straight to the topic.

"What does it have to do with you?" The woman in black said in a very unpolite tone.

"Because if you were the daughter of General Antoine Laurent, you were the guest here."

"It seems you like to tie guests?"

"Can you please let me loose, can you guarantee that you will no longer use force?"

"I'm not a lunatic."

Antonio said to the woman in black seriously and seriously: "Madam, please listen. Antoine Laurent is a soldier and scholar I admire. His family and my wife have a little blood relationship. It is because of this that I regard you as a guest.

I understand your hatred, but please remember that there are faults and debts. It was the United Republic that executed His Excellency Antoine Laurent. This is the Republic of Veneta, and our family is both Veneta. Antoine Laurent's injustice has nothing to do with us Veneta.

I have finished the truth. This is my home, and I will not tolerate any behavior that threatens my family. So if you do violence against my family, no matter who your daughter is, I don’t care about your secrets, I will kill you immediately.”

Antonio's tone was not fierce, but calm like an old shepherd counting the flock, but no one in this room doubted his threat.

After saying that, Antonio pulled out a knife, first cut the rope on the woman in black's legs, and then cut the rope on the woman in black's hands.

Winters held the steel cone tightly in his hand, and did not dare to relax his vigilance for a moment. He had made up his mind that as long as the woman in black had any actions to hurt Antonio, she would use the flying arrow technique to knock the steel cone into her skull.

Fortunately, the worst case did not happen. The woman in black just moved her wrist and silently removed the remaining part of the bondage. The woman in black who had recovered her freedom did not get up and hurt others again, but just sat quietly on the bed.

Winters was both angry and funny, and he couldn't help but think: Could this woman be hard or soft? Or did Elizabeth use some magic on her?

"It seems that we have reached an agreement temporarily." The woman in black did not take the opportunity to hold her hostage, which seemed to make Antonio feel a little regretful: "Can you explain why you have to visit the humble house in this way tonight?"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The woman in black pursed her lips and said nothing.

Antonio also stared at the other party.

Elizabeth pushed open the door again: "Dad, you can't ask this. You speak in the same language, but you speak like two languages. Sophia wants her father's relics and does not want the person who killed her father to occupy her father's property. This is her purpose."

"Is that true?" Antonio asked the woman in black.

The woman in black, who was called "Sophia" by Elizabeth, nodded.

"That's very simple. As long as you can prove your identity, that note can be returned to you immediately. Winters and I have no intention of occupying your father's property."

"I have a birth certificate, a baptism certificate, and letters, seals, jewelry, and documents brought from home to prove my identity." The woman in black finally let go and no longer disdained her for asking her to prove her identity. But she pointed to Winters and said, "But my father's notes have been burned by him."

"Ms. Sofia, you think too seriously. The book is actually difficult to ignite. Even if it is ignited, it will only burn the outermost part in a short period of time, and it will not burn through the inside. The content recorded in your father's notes has not been lost. The main thing I burned is the leather cover." Winters felt that he had to defend himself.

"Wrong, brother." Elizabeth gently pulled Winters' sleeve: "That note itself is a precious relic of her father. I think... Sophia shouldn't care about the content..."

The content of Antoine Laurent's notes is valuable, while Antoine Laurent's notebook is valuable. This strange idea makes Winters speechless.

However, Antonio, who was standing by, asked coldly: "Ms. Sofia, don't you think you are responsible for the burning of this note?"

"Why should I be responsible?" Sophia laughed furiously.

"If you hadn't sneaked into my house with weapons tonight, would that note burn? You threatened Winters' life, then any reaction would be reasonable. I wouldn't blame him if he killed you directly. If you asked him openly with documents that could prove your identity, would it still be the result?"

"Will I ask him for it?" Sophia was furious.

"Will give it." Antonio replied lightly.

Sofia was blocked by Antonio for a long time and couldn't speak.

"But as the person who burns the notes, Winters has to bear some responsibility. As compensation, I have a suggestion." Antonio changed his tone and said in a deep voice: "I can help your father rehabilitate, help the Lavoisier family restore their reputation, and hold those who were once responsible."

Sixteen years ago, Antoine Laurent was executed for treason after a secret trial, his property was confiscated, his statue was torn down, and his contribution to his contributions in the history of war were silent. Until today, the father of the Alliance Spellcaster has not restored his reputation.

Antonio's words made Sophia, who was originally in an angry state, stunned her god, but she quickly recovered from the Qingming Festival and asked with a sneer: "Help my father restore his reputation? Is it up to you?"

"Of course I can't do it alone." Antonio was not angry in the face of Sofia's rude questioning: "But your father's research notes can be done. The Military Commission and the Supreme Five will be happy to restore the reputation of General Antoine Laurent in exchange for the cost of this note."

Sofia screamed, "I would rather die than let the alliance occupy my father's fruit."

"I have said that it was the UN Provincial people who executed your father and have not rehabilitated him so far, but this is the Venetta Republic. Your enemies are the UN Provincial people, not us Venetta. You should not regard the alliance as a whole to hate. If you regard human beings as a whole, wouldn't all human beings be the murderer of your father?"

"You said this is Veneta, why should Veneta overturn the verdict of the United Provinces?" Sofia's attitude eased a little, but she still refused to believe Antonio.

"Antoine Laurent's treason was detained by the United Republic, but we can overturn this judgment from the alliance level. After all, the Senas League has five franchise countries, and as long as the three parties vote to agree, they can restore their reputation to General Antoine Laurent at the alliance level. The United Provinces may hold on and refuse to accept it, but outside the United Republic of China Antoine Laurent will no longer be regarded as a traitor. Please believe that we, the Venetta people, can still do this."

Sofia seemed to be a little moved.

Antonio was very tempted: "And we don't need the original of this note, we only need the contents in it. The original is still owned by you as a precious relic of General Antoine Laurent."

"I want to think about it again." Sofia shook her head and did not make a decision.

"Ms. Sofia, this is just a proposal, you can consider it yourself." Antonio whispered: "But our previous commitment is still valid. As long as you take out documents that can prove your identity, the original note can be returned to you. But Winters should not be held responsible for the accident tonight. The original is your own fault. If you really value the commemorative meaning of the original, even the burned original is still a precious relic."

After a long silence, Sophia opened her mouth and asked, "Then how do I get the documents that prove my identity? Will you let me go?"

"I'm afraid not. I won't let you go, but I won't leave you at my home. I hope I can ask you to go to the Third Legion to rest for a while. Give me an address for the documents you need, and I can send someone to pick them up." Antonio replied politely, and he resumed his tone when he attended the party.

Sofia snorted dissatisfiedly: "What if my files are only available to me? What if my files are in Guitu City?"

"Then I can let you go, but I have to hand this note over to the Military Commission before I can let you go. All that remains is your problem with the Military Commission." Antonio's answer was clear: "Sorry, this note is of great importance. Even if it is to let outsiders know that this note has appeared in this house, it is a threat to my family."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Antonio paused for a moment and said heavily: "Please understand that you have involved us. I have maintained the greatest respect for you."

Sophia looked at Antonio, then looked at Elizabeth, and her fierceness dissipated. Sophia said with some dismay: "I have to consider your proposal again. The documents that can prove my identity are in the Convent of St. Jenny Women. Go and find Mother Teresa to pick up the personal belongings I have placed there."

The St. Jenny Women's Monastery is located on a hill southwest of Hailan City, about half a day away from Hailan.

"You can't stay here. I want to invite you to stay at the Third Legion's garrison, is that okay?"

Sofia nodded silently.

"Before escorting your soldiers, your freedom of movement needs to be temporarily restrained, because neither of the ladies in this house are your opponents, please forgive me." Antonio stood up and declared the end of the conversation: "Winters, please tie Ms. Sofia up again, but please try to make Ms. Sofia more comfortable."

Antonio assured Sofia: "Once I get the documents, I will release you immediately."

Sofia did not resist or sarcasm. It seemed that she easily accepted Antonio's reason to "protect her family". Her body language was very obedient, but her eyes kept staring at Winters.

Winters didn't expect to tie a woman up three times in a row in one night. He nodded apologetically, but the steel cone was not taken away and held in his hand.

Sophia really gave him too much psychological shadow, and he didn't dare to relax his vigilance for a moment.

This time, he didn't tie his hands, but he was tied up his hands. Then Antonio took Winters and Elizabeth out and left Sophia alone in the guest room.

Antonio was still worried, so he asked Coza to take Elizabeth and Madam Marita to the neighbor's house for a while.

Only Antonio, Winters and Sofia, who was alone in the room, were left in the house.

"Do you think she is Antoine Laurent's daughter?" Winters asked Antonio.

"I was only 30% sure before seeing her."

"What about now?"

"Now? Now 80%! That Sophia is Antoine Laurent's daughter." Antonio poured some spirits for her nephew and herself: "If she wants to get the certificate herself, it means she doesn't care about the notes at all. She chose to stay, and she seemed very confident. But it may also be a deception tactic and should not be taken lightly."

"I'm staying in the guest room and watching her?"

"No, there is something to do. You are now going to your neighbor's house to protect your sister and Cossa. Bring paper and pen and copy all the remaining contents of this note. I'm going to the legion's garrison to dispatch troops now." Antonio calmly assigned tasks to Winters.

"Don't you want to return the notes to her?" Winters felt bitter.

"The original can be returned to her, but Antoine Laurent's research notes are an important asset to the Republic of Veneta, and your personal honor is not worth mentioning in the interests of Veneta."

"Let her be left alone in the guest room?"
