Chapter 1426 He Has Guts
Vinson's gaze darkened. It looks like he’s really not my father-in-law. | need to switch up my strategy to locate him.
As the thought crossed Vinson’s mind, he saw Dylan was about to speak when Arielle’s voice rang out.
“Your Majesty, he’s quite skilled in combat. Do you think he could stay to protect me?”
Dylan had not expected to hear that suggestion from her. But it does make sense. After all, her life is under threat. Now that she
has met someone who can protect her in critical situations, it's understandable that she'd want to hire him as a bodyguard.
Moreover, he had already heard of what happened to the bodyguards, and he was alarmed to hear how badly injured they were. |
probably wouldn't have had the chance to see my precious daughter again if it weren't for this young man’s help. I'm worried for
her safety. We haven't caught the culprits yet, and they failed in their mission. Hence, it’s likely that there'll be another attempt on
her life. | won't let anyone harm her again, not even a single hair on her head. It seems that it's indeed tto get her a better
bodyguard.
Dylan's gaze shifted to Vinson subconsciously, and he asked, “What's your name?”
“My surnis Knightley,” Vinson replied, changing it from ‘Nightshire’ to ‘Knightley.
“What do you work as? How did you becso skilled?”
Arielle furrowed her brows as she glanced toward Vinson. She had cup with the plan of letting Vinson becher bodyguard
at the last minute. Hence, they had not discussed anything beforehand, and she did not know how Vinson would handle Dylan’s
questions.
Vinson looked at Dylan and replied in an apologetic tone, “My apologies, but I'm afraid | can’t answer that.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt| haven't gotten everything in order yet. If | make up an answer recklessly, what'll happen if the king sends someone to look into
it? The best solution is to reveal nothing. That way, he won't have any clues to help him dig up any information about me.
Dylan was stunned. I'm the king, yet he dares to talk toin that manner.
Pretending to be enraged, he fixed Vinson with a stern glare and said, “You know who | am, but you still dare to talk tolike
that?”
Vinson raised his eyebrows. “Everyone has their secrets. Moreover, you're not a tyrant. Why wouldn't | dare to talk to you like
that?”
Dylan was secretly a little pleased when he heard that. Not bad. He has guts!
Gazing at Vinson, he said in a sincere tone, “I'm truly grateful to you for saving Ms. Moore from such a dangerous situation.
Unfortunately, the danger hasn't passed. Since you're a skilled fighter, | wonder if | could hire you as Ms. Moore's bodyguard for
the tbeing.”
“That's...” Vinson turned to glance at Arielle, a torn look on his face. “I still have sbusiness to attend to, so I'm temporarily—"
Without waiting for Vinson to finish his sentence, Dylan cut in and said, “I'm willing to hire you at three times your current salary.”
Arielle also looked up at Vinson. Well, well... He puts on quite a convincing act. Even though he desperately wants to be my
bodyguard, he’s acting as if it's an imposition.
“Mr. Knightley, I'm sure you know I'm a doctor and that your king specially invitedhere. Turlen lacks medical practitioners, so
I'm here to impart my knowledge. But you can see for yourself the predicament I'm in. I'd feel much more at ease with you by my
side to protect me,” said Arielle while looking at Vinson with an earnest expression.
Vinson's eyes flitted to Arielle imperceptibly. | wouldn't have expected anything less from my wife. She's on the spage as me
and has a tacit understanding of my actions. If | agree too quickly, | might arouse the king's suspicions. After all, I'm only a
stranger in his eyes. But if | pretend to hesitate and the king is serious about hiring me, it'd work more to my advantage.
