Hearing this, Benjamin couldn't help but frown deeply.
Sure enough... church people are not that easy to bully. He let "Crow" cause trouble for half a month. Although the church was troubled by many things, he still couldn't bear it anymore.
"Although they mentioned street gangs, what about other than that?" After thinking about it, Benjamin asked again, "How far have they reached in their investigation? Do you know the name 'Crow'?"
Jessica was silent for a moment and said: "If they really don't know, then there's no need for me to worry."
"They knew? How could they?" Benjamin was a little surprised.
Jessica sighed, sat down on the table, and said slowly: "Yesterday, when a few of my men went to destroy the church in the middle of the night, they accidentally arrested them. I didn't mean to question their loyalty. But... they are just ordinary people who can't keep their mouths shut."
… Someone was actually arrested
Hearing this, Benjamin couldn't help but have a headache.
For street gangsters, it was normal for them to miss, but to be caught... When he asked Jessica to harass the church, Jessica had sworn that her people were very cautious and would never be caught.
In the final analysis, I am still too confident.
However, everyone has been arrested, so it is useless to say this.
With the church's methods, they don't care whether the person they catch has a good mouth or not. Information leakage is a nine-in-one possibility - if memory reading can be used here, then no one except mages can keep their mouths shut in front of the church.
In addition, what is even more troublesome is that if those subordinates knew about Benjamin, wouldn't even Benjamin be exposed
"Those of your men...how much do they know?" Thinking of this, Benjamin immediately asked.
Jessica spoke with an unprecedented serious tone: "They don't know your existence, but they know me and have seen my appearance. They also know most of the strongholds of the Crows, and they have seen the activities of most of the Crows. members. If they all come forward, we will be hit hard."
As she spoke, she leaned against the table, holding her forehead with her hand, looking extremely stressed. The aristocratic temperament that I had maintained in the past disappeared at this moment, like a graduate student who wrote a thesis until four o'clock in the middle of the night, and then had to rush for the exam the next morning.
When Benjamin heard this, he still felt very troubled.
According to her, as soon as the church retrieves its memory, the entire "Crow" will be finished. And "Crow" is finished. Of course, those in the church will know the news about Benjamin.
Although Benjamin has been operating in secret since he came back from Snowy City and never showed his true colors to others, at least, his name has not been on Freden's official wanted list. And now, if he is discovered again, the church will have reason to want him.
He is not afraid of being wanted, but it will become more difficult to recruit mages with the reputation of a wanted criminal.
"No matter what, you should hide first." After a moment of silence, Benjamin said helplessly, "Once the church starts searching, you will definitely be in danger. You'd better leave Riley City first, hide outside, and wait for the limelight. After that, come back."
When Jessica heard this, she showed a determined look and shook her head.
"Sir, 'The Crow' is the only thing my father left to me. If we hide out and come back, there will no longer be a place for 'The Crow' in Riley City. I can't leave."
"But what can you do? Your position and identity have been exposed. Do you still want to stay here and fight against those people?"
Jessica shook her head again, and suddenly took out a map from the cabinet next to her.
"I have already investigated. The person who captured my men last night was a priest named John." She spread out the map and said, "Because the church has not been built yet, the church has rented several empty houses. Riley All the priests in the city lived in different parts of the city. But Father John, who was the leader of these people, lived alone in this place."
As she spoke, she pointed to a street in the north on the map.
Benjamin raised his eyebrows: "Are you... sure?"
"I won't joke with the 'crow' and my life." Jessica replied decisively.
When Benjamin heard this, he looked at the place pointed out on the map and couldn't help but nodded. A strange look suddenly flashed in his eyes.
The leader of that group of priests...
In this case, the whole thing may not turn around.
"After my men were arrested, they were taken to his residence by the priest, and they haven't left yet." Jessica's eyes suddenly showed a look of begging, "Master Mage, it hasn't been a day since they were captured, maybe they haven't taken care of everything yet. Tell them all, Your Excellency...can you rescue them?"
"Don't worry, I will definitely help." Benjamin said immediately, "However, I advise you to be mentally prepared. The church has a method that can search people's memories. If they use it on your subordinates, one Minutes are enough to know everything.”
Having said this, he paused and continued: "The details of the crow... nine times out of ten have been exposed."
Hearing this, Jessica's breath was suffocated, as if she had been struck by lightning.
When Benjamin saw this, he couldn't help but shook his head.
He can probably understand the other person's mood at the moment. After all, it is the country that I have worked hard for myself. After finally becoming the largest gang in Riley City, it may collapse overnight. This news is definitely an unbearable blow to her.
Not to mention what "crow" means to her.
"It's not easy to hold onto something from the past, but what's even more remarkable is having the courage to start over." Thinking of this, Benjamin advised.
Jessica was silent for a long time, then gave a slightly sarcastic laugh and said: "Don't worry, the only people in the whole Crow who know about your existence are me and Bernard. If people from the church really come to kill us, we will Get rid of yourself first, and your existence will not be exposed."
When Benjamin heard this, he couldn't help but rub his temples.
Why is this person so stubborn
"So... you are unwilling to leave Riley City no matter what, right?" he asked.
Jessica shook her head: "I won't leave."
"Oh well."
Benjamin sighed, slammed the table, and said helplessly: "Tonight, I will go to the priest to check the situation. If all the information about the 'Crow' has been exposed, you don't have to worry. I don't know how the people above will use it. No way to clean up the gang, but soon, they will have no time to take care of you anymore."
Jessica was stunned and asked with some confusion: "Why, why?"
Benjamin smiled slightly, turned around, walked to the window, and said slowly: "Because starting from tonight, all the priests and leaders in Freden will die one after another."
