"W-what?"
After hearing these words, even if there was sworn hatred between the two of them, they had to stop arguing, turned around, and looked at Benjamin.
It can be considered a stop...
Benjamin sighed and said slowly: "You should also know that a certain gang attacked that street. But seeing that you are still investigating, it means that so far, you can't find anyone from that gang. I don’t know what happened.”
The two glared at each other. Lance was silent and nodded.
Benjamin continued: "Here's the thing. The gang that attacked there is called the Eagles. You can't find anyone, not because they are all hiding, but because that gang has actually disbanded long ago."
After hearing this, Lance thought for a while and then said: "But... what does this have to do with the rebellion of that sect?"
"It has a big relationship." Benjamin immediately replied, "The gang and the sect here are two completely different things. The reason why the attack occurred is actually because the sect has been united with the gang for a long time. He is planning something secretly."
Lance's expression changed slightly, he shook his head and said, "No. There are people watching these sects all the time, and it is impossible for them to come into contact with outside forces."
Benjamin spread his hands helplessly and said: "If someone is watching, it may not be impossible. Besides, are these street gangsters really included in your so-called 'influence'? Will anyone pay special attention to them?"
Suddenly, Lance fell silent, unable to think of anything to say in reply.
That's what gangsters are like. You say they are insignificant, but sometimes they can really become a force. But you really have to pay attention to them, they are too oily and cannot be cleaned no matter what.
In fact, their investigation has made no progress, that is, it is stuck on no credible clues about the gangster.
"The Eagles disbanded on the day they attacked the streets." However, at this moment, Mikel suddenly spoke and said slowly, "The streets they originally occupied are now occupied by a gang called the Sparrows. Yes. I have inquired about the gang, it is newly established and has nothing to do with this matter."
Suddenly, Lance showed a somewhat surprised expression.
"How did you investigate these things? Why didn't you tell me?"
"That's it. I thought that thanks to the Lord Knight's intelligence, I already knew these things, so there was no need for me to tell you specifically."
“…”
"Okay, okay, we have more important things, don't we?" Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Benjamin quickly spoke, strangled the bad signs, and said, "A small sect secretly colluded with a gangster force. Together, there must be a reason behind this.”
Regarding the "Sparrow" gang in Mikel's words, he was not surprised.
Jessica was very careful in doing things. After the demise of the "Eagle", the "Crow" did not immediately occupy the streets there. Instead, they formed a puppet gang to occupy those streets and slowly annexed them later.
Looking at it now, Mikel did not investigate "Crow", and it was also thanks to Jessica's caution.
"But, if they are really secretly connected, why did the Eagle attack there in turn? Aren't they in the same group?" Lance asked again.
"Because there was a rift between them." Benjamin replied matter-of-factly.
And in his heart, a sense of tension suddenly arose.
Next, it’s time to test your lying skills.
"I have no way of knowing the specific rift. What I do know is that after an unpleasant contact, the people from that sect killed the leader of the 'Eagle', loaded explosives into the head, and sent it to the 'Eagle' The stronghold. After that, of course, the gangsters were furious. They didn’t know the secret connection between the leader and the sect, but through some clues, they still guessed who was responsible, so there was the scene of burning the temple. "
When it comes to lying, the most important thing is truth and falsehood, falsehood and truth. Even the most astute person would not be able to tell if there is one lie among the nine truths.
In fact, he just blamed that sect for everything he and "Crow" did.
"On the streets where the 'Eagle' was active, some people indeed said that they heard the sound of explosions in the days after the attack." Mikel's investigation also confirmed Benjamin's words from the side.
After hearing this, Lance nodded and said, "Mr. Master... I would like to ask, why do you know these things so clearly?"
"Because not long after I came to Riley City, I had some connections with that sect." Benjamin lied without changing his expression. "If you go to the Master Masonic Association and ask, you will know that a few days ago, I just opened I found a very dangerous ruins. The ruins have many connections with the sect, but the props to open the ruins were obtained by me from the leader of the 'Eagle' using some means."
"Relics..."
Suddenly, Lance fell into deep thought.
Benjamin also judged from their expressions that the Master Freemasonry did not warn the Freeden officials as promised before.
So... what's getting in the way
The answer is already obvious.
Benjamin put these things behind him and continued: "After getting the props to open the ruins, I made a lot of preparations in advance to explore the ruins, including investigating the origin of the ruins. So, I investigated the sect. , accidentally discovered the secret between that sect and the 'Eagle'. I originally wanted the Masters and Freemasons to warn you, but after thinking about it for a long time, I finally decided to tell you these things myself, hoping that it would be helpful to you. You have help.”
Lance sighed, seeming a little distressed, but still smiled and said, "Thank you very much, this really helps us a lot."
Benjamin nodded and said with extra sincerity: "After all, as a mage, I don't want Frieden to end up like the Kingdom of Hori. This is the only thing I can do."
Mikel also smiled and said: "Your Excellency is really thoughtful. On behalf of His Majesty, we thank you for your loyalty."
After thinking about it, Benjamin added: "As for why I think they will rebel, it's because everything I encountered in the ruins is too appalling. If you don't believe it, you can also ask the Master Freemasonry. People, they will tell you how terrible that ruin is."
After hearing this, Lance patted Benjamin on the shoulder, stood up from the chair, and said, "Thank you very much for your help. I think I got the information I need."
Benjamin also stood up: "That's good, I don't have any more news to tell you."
Well... everything that needs to be said has been said, and it's almost time for him to leave.
As for whether these two people will believe his words... There is no doubt that they must be dubious about the unverified testimony. Besides, how can it be so easy to destroy a sect with just a few words
They need substantial evidence.
Therefore, Benjamin's work is not over yet.
He had already figured out the rest - he wanted these two people to personally investigate the "truth" that Benjamin had fabricated. After all, other people's words are always other people's words, and people tend to believe more in what they investigate.
As for the evidence, that sect has evil intentions to begin with, so it will naturally reveal some flaws. Of course, if these two people still can't find anything, Benjamin wouldn't mind helping them create "evidence".
In short, he was going to kill those people, and they were dead.
"If you need any help, you can come to me. I believe you know how to find me." He continued, "I also want to stay a little longer, but I still have some meditation homework to do, so I have to take a step forward. .”
"Let me see you off." Mikel said as he walked up with a smile.
Benjamin couldn't refuse, so he simply nodded.
Lance smiled at Benjamin as a sign of farewell, and put his hands on the table, as if he was deep in thought.
In this way, Benjamin and Mikel left the basement together, and also used healing water balloons to cure the soldier who twisted his waist, which inevitably caused another exclamation.
Finally, Mikel walked him to the door, and the two said goodbye warmly. Benjamin turned around and left the place.
