Melkensen looked at the secret letter in his hand in disbelief. How could his personal servant "Shadow" fail in such a sure-fire assassination? This is simply unbelievable. He is very aware of the combat power of the "Shadow". Even the two high-level hunters raised by the consortium cannot defeat the "Shadow". Even the shadow assassin Greli who is good at assassination cannot break through the shadow His defense hurt him in the slightest.
The shadow is not only good at defense, but also good at assassination. However, to assassinate an envoy of a middle-level hunter, will it fail? !
With a gloomy face, he turned and left with the secret letter in his hand, and came to another luxurious and spacious office. He saw an old man with white hair standing behind his back under a magnificent oil painting of a map. He is white, but with a straight posture and a majestic temperament. He is the old patriarch George who once single-handedly led the Mel family to take root in the business district.
"Father." Melkensen bowed his head.
George turned around slowly, glanced at him, caught a glimpse of the secret letter in his hand, frowned slightly, and said, "Why, there was an accident in the assassination?"
"Father, the assassination failed." Melkensen said in a deep voice.
George frowned slightly, sat down on the chair slowly, and said, "Where's the shadow?"
"he died."
"Dead?" George seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "It's good that he wasn't captured alive."
Melkensen sighed: "Even if he is captured alive, Shadow will not betray us. After all, he has followed our family for so many years, and he knows all the rules in the army."
George shook his head slightly, "No matter what, the dead are always more honest than the living. A person like him will fail. Even if he assassinates a high-level hunter, he is very sure. It seems that this time the army sent A very powerful expert protecting that kid, heh, if you fail, you will fail, anyway, the shadow is someone who infiltrated the guards, this scapegoat can only be eaten by the army itself."
Melkensen sighed, and said: "I didn't expect this kid to be so fateful, but it's a pity that Shadow, I thought he would be able to escape after the assassination, and he has been hiding by my side, no one knows, even if the assassination Get rid of this brat, expose your identity, and you can still come back to me in the future."
"People are going to die after all." George looked at him meaningfully, and said, "Since the shadow assassination failed, we should use other methods, maybe we should contact the Dark Holy See and let them act for us , As long as you give them money, these lunatics can do anything, I don’t believe that this brat can stop those hungry beasts from the Dark Vatican.”
Melkensen nodded slightly, turned and left.
Looking at his leaving back, a gleam of light flashed in George's eyes, and he muttered to himself: "Military Department, heh, since you protect him so hard, let's see how you wash away your guilt. The shadow used to be your secret." One of the trump cards, let's investigate carefully... "
…
…
In the north of the commercial area, the headquarters of the military region.
Du Dian was assassinated by a member of the guards. After Du Dian came back, it was reported at the top of the military department. All the generals and school officers who heard the news were shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. When they knew that Du Dian was only injured, he did not die. After the hindrance, they all breathed a sigh of relief, with some palpitations and fears. If Du Dian was really assassinated by the guards of their army, it would be a devastating blow to their army if it spread!
Whether it is the aroused public anger or the hatred of the Holy See, they can put their military headquarters in a state of being overthrown.
The moment he heard the news, San Lorenzo jumped up from his chair, sweating all over his body. After hearing that the assassination failed, his constricted heart loosened slightly, beating violently, suddenly Realizing that he had thought this matter too easily, he was also secretly glad that God gave him a chance to correct his mistakes.
"Immediately send someone, 300 Purple Feather Army, to protect Master Du Dian in front of his castle, not immediately for 24 hours, and obey Master Du Dian's orders, but never leave Du Dian's side!" San Lorenzo immediately After ordering, he suddenly thought of something at the end, gritted his teeth, and said, "Go and inform the three gopher brothers, let them go there together, and personally protect Master Du Dian's life."
"Yes." The messenger promised, turned and ran away.
A two-star general next to him couldn't help standing up, and said: "General, the three gopher brothers have been your personal attendants for many years. If you are sent to protect Master Du, isn't your safety..."
"I'm staying in the barracks and I'm not going anywhere. Even if the people of the Dark Vatican want to assassinate me, it will be very difficult." San Lorenzo said in a deep voice: "If Mr. Du Dian's life is dead at this time of war, especially Under the protection of our military department, they were killed by people in military uniforms. It is estimated that even if we win this war, the military department will be overthrown. These financial groups are not little sheep, they are all wolves !"
The two-star general's expression changed, and he sat down.
"Check it out for me right now!" San Lorenzo put his hand on the table, looked around everyone, and said word by word: "In ten minutes, I want to know whether the two people who assassinated Master Du are from our military department or not. , Their identities, and the people related to them, all will be found out for me! This assassination is not only aimed at this Master Du Dian, I suspect that the real target behind it is our military department, who wants to intensify our military department and The contradiction of the Holy See of Light will do this, besides the Holy See of Darkness, I would like to see if there are any other dirty people wearing camouflage clothes!"
"General, the identities of the two assassins have been found out." A school officer next to him said, "They are all members of our military department. One is a serving soldier named Port Ellen. He can be regarded as an honorable soldier. He has made many achievements and won many awards. The other one is slightly older, named North Sunderland. We checked the information and found that this person is a veteran. He offended the nobles in the business district during the arrest of a foreign army, and was expelled from the 'Magic Sword' army, and has since disappeared."
Hearing this, the generals looked at each other in blank dismay.
San Lorenzo's face was gloomy, and he said, "I'll find out right away, who put these two people in the guard!"
"This was arranged by General Corso. General Corso has gone to the front line and is currently being notified to come back."
San Lorenzo glanced at the school officer and said, "Who was the nobleman this person offended?"
"It's a family called 'Padstow'. This family is one of the shareholders of the Mellon Consortium. It just has a relatively small shareholding and has little authority in the consortium." When Lan was expelled from the 'Magic Knife', it didn't take long before he declared bankruptcy, moved out of the business district, and moved to a civilian area."
San Lorenzo's eyes flickered slightly, and said: "Send someone to investigate and find out why they went bankrupt in the first place."
"Yes." The school officer agreed.
"Damn it, one is a veteran and the other is a serving soldier!" San Lorenzo clenched his fists, glanced at everyone present, and said, "Who can tell me how to explain to the Holy See of Light?"
The generals were silent for a while and lowered their heads.
"General." In the silence, a school official suddenly ran outside the hall and reported: "The royal savage who was escorted back by Master Du Dian has let go and confessed their savage's attack route. At the same time, she also confessed. A list of some insiders who work with them."
"Oh?" Hearing this, San Lorenzo's eyes sparkled, and he said, "Let's hear, who are there?"
"Yes." The school officer flipped through the interrogation notebook in his hand and said, "They are Melkensen, Srudi, Melshaya, Chestov, Bilandi..."
When the first name was read, there was a commotion in the hall, and then it quickly fell silent until the school officer finished reading.
