"The contemporary head of the Pangbo family was assassinated?!"
In the room of the intelligence agency Shilou, after Richard heard what the skinny old man said, even though he was so calm, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. He blinked and asked, "When did this happen specifically?"
"In the night that just passed, it won't be more than six hours until now." The skinny old man replied, and then smiled bitterly, "Actually, we only got the news not long ago.
The person who assassinated the Pangbo family was the same as you yesterday, who entered the Pangbo family residence disguised as a wizard apprentice, and then found an opportunity to assassinate the head of the Pangbo family, that is, Donners Pangbo. "
After hearing this, Richard suddenly understood why the guards were so wary when they heard that he was a newly recruited wizard apprentice when he went out.
Then he looked at the skinny old man with curiosity and asked, "Who is the other party?"
"He goes by the name Fording."
"Foding?" Richard read it once, and the image of Foding flashed through his mind. At the beginning, he was dressed in black and kept smiling. He performed extremely well in the test, surpassing Brando, and Brando was very jealous.
"Is it him? I really didn't expect it." Richard said.
"Actually, no one has thought of it." The skinny old man said, pulling the gray and sparse hair on his head and saying, "This Fording was sent by Gawain. He has the strength of a first-level wizard and a low-level one. He is not weak. , but not too strong. The purpose of sending him was not to assassinate at all, but to drive a nail in and obtain more intelligence.
Who knows, after he successfully entered the Pangbo family's residence, whether it was luck or unlucky, he happened to meet Donners Pangbo at close range and was questioned by Donners Pangbo. He couldn't hold back, exposed his flaw, and attacked Donners Pangbo out of cruelty. "
"What was the result? Was the assassination successful?" Richard asked.
"It can only be said that it is half successful." The skinny old man curled his lips and said, "Fordin's attack can definitely fall on Donnus Pangbo successfully, and then he was killed by Donnus Pangbo's guard. As an ordinary person without extraordinary powers, Donners Pangbo was seriously injured after being attacked, but the specific extent of the seriousness is unknown. We can only confirm that he is being treated secretly due to the blockade of information."
Richard quickly thought of the escort soldiers who appeared at the Pangbo family station, and he could guess that the situation of Donners Pangbo was probably not ideal.
Although Donnas does not have extraordinary power, his methods are amazing, which is why he can become the contemporary head of the Pangbo family. Such a figure suddenly falls, and the Pangbo family, which has lost its backbone, will definitely be in chaos, and may further cause violent turmoil in St. Louis City.
Looking at the skinny old man, Richard asked: "Now, in St. Louis City, have the other families and forces responded?"
"Of course." The skinny old man nodded, "They have all heard the news to some extent, and those who have not heard it also guessed some possibilities from the unusual behavior of the Pangbo family - after all, no one is a fool. So, They are now planning whether to take this opportunity to join forces to attack the Pangbo family."
"What do you think of Gawain, the commander of the magic knight of the Pangbo family?"
"He agrees." The skinny old man said, sighing, "He is originally a radical. Without my persuasion, he might have taken action before you came, Lord Gray Crow. Now he is absolutely unwilling to encounter such a surprise. Let it go. And he belongs to a very important force against the Pangbo family, and secretly controls a large number of magic knights in the Pangbo family. Once he takes action, the other family forces will follow suit, and by then the entire St. Louis family will take action. The situation in the city will definitely turn into a mess."
Having said this, the skinny old man paused, looked at Richard, twitched his lips, and explained with a bitter expression: "Master Gray Crow, I know you want to keep the situation in St. Louis City stable so that you can implement some of your plans. But As you can see, this incident was really not caused by us, it was not because we wanted to cause you trouble or disrupt your plans, it was completely a chain reaction caused by an accident."
Richard nodded, agreeing with the skinny old man's statement and confirming that the other party was an innocent person.
Then his eyes moved and his thoughts wandered.
If Gawain and other family forces unite to attack the Pangbo family, and the situation becomes chaotic to a certain extent, then the magic knights stationed next to the manor outside the city will definitely be transferred, either to help Gawain deal with the Pangbo family, or to help Pangbo family. The Bo family deals with Gawain and his party. This can reduce the obstacles for him to obtain the "Book of Void", which is a good thing.
After thinking about it, Richard said: "Actually, the current situation is not entirely a bad thing."
"Doesn't it count?" The skinny old man was stunned and looked at Richard with some surprise.
"Not counting." Richard responded with certainty, "Of course, the premise is that I want to know what people like Gawain think, and adjust my plan based on their actions."
"They actually communicated with me about the relevant content." The skinny old man took out a brochure and said, "Their current plan is to first determine the condition of Donners Pangbo. Is he seriously injured and on the verge of death, or has he already died?" Get better.
One thing they were worried about was that Downers Pangbo's situation might be stable and he could take charge of the overall situation, but he deliberately pretended that the situation was bad and set them up in return. At that time, once they break up, Donners Pangbo is fully capable of drawing a large number of outsiders back into the Pangbo family's camp and putting them in dire straits - there is precedent for this.
Only after the situation of Downers Pangbo is confirmed, will they really take action, first... and then... "
The skinny old man kept talking, while Richard listened and nodded silently. He quickly memorized the content and sketched out a sketch of St. Louis City in his mind to deduce the development of the situation...
…
In a blink of an eye, an hour later.
Richard left the skinny old man's intelligence agency and returned to the Pangbo family headquarters.
When he entered the station, he found that the soldiers guarding the gate had changed their faces. As expected, he was subject to a stricter interrogation than before, including stripping off his clothes and searching him.
He had already been mentally prepared for this, responded calmly, and finally returned to his residence smoothly.
Next, as time continued to pass, more and more guard soldiers appeared in the Pangbo family camp, and the atmosphere became increasingly depressed.
By the afternoon, the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
Then he heard heavy footsteps in the room, opened the door and walked out, and saw a group of guards wearing black heavy armor walking into the courtyard where the eldest lady Anne lived.
