Chapter 184
“Do you really believe the waiter’s words?” Looking at the yearning expression on Harrington’s face, the girl sneered and said, “How could there be such a powerful man in this remote County City? In my opinion, it’s just a rumor created by some ignorant and stupid people.”
“Who knows?” Harrington shrugged and didn’t argue with Karami.
The white-haired middle-aged man looked at her and said in a somewhat serious tone, “Remember, don’t underestimate others at any time.”
Seeing the white-haired middle-aged man standing on his side, Harrington couldn’t help but raise his head to show off.
Karami glared at him and nodded slightly. “I see,” she replied.
Seeing that, the white-haired middle-aged man shook his head. She was still too young, encountered few setbacks and suffered too little loss.
“Stop!” The captain of the guards shouted when he saw the four people walking towards the Marquis Mansion. Seeing them stop, the captain of the guards asked warily, “Who are you? Why do you come to the Marquis Mansion?”
The other guards also looked serious. They drew out their weapons and stared at the four.
They had no choice but to be careless since it was a troubled time recently. In the Marquis Mansion, Marquis Hyman cleaned up the Marquis Mansion completely and eliminated all the spies of Busson, which also made the whole Marquis Mansion in a state of panic.
Outside the Marquis Mansion, after the siege, almost all the members of the major families had been arrested, but there were still many escaped people. Yesterday, the gate of the Marquis Mansion was attacked several times.
“Tell Marquis Hyman that we are from King City.” The white-haired middle-aged man said to the leader of the guards with a gentle smile.
The captain of the guards was stunned.
They said… They were from King City?
A few seconds later, the captain of the guards finally came back to his senses. He took a deep breath and suppressed the fear in his heart. His face was instantly respectful to the extreme. “Please wait a moment. I’ll report it to Mr. Marquis.”
After saying that, he didn’t dare to waste any time. He rushed into the mansion and told Marquis Hyman what had happened here.
A few minutes later, Marquis Hyman came to the gate in a hurry.
At the sight of Marquis Hyman, the middle-aged man with grey hair took out a palm-sized, exquisitely carved token with the number 9 in the middle.
The moment Marquis Hyman saw the token, his face suddenly changed. He bowed to the white-haired middle-aged man and said respectfully, “My lords, I’m Bruno Hyman.”
The white-haired middle-aged man put away the token and said, “Dorothy Sandy.”
“Mr. Sandy.” Marquis Hyman greeted.
The fat middle-aged man beside the white-haired Dorothy Sandy also smiled and said, “My name is Mond Moore.”
“Mr. Moore.”
Marquis Hyman bowed again.
Then, Harrington and Karami introduced themselves. Marquis Hyman didn’t look down upon them because of their young age and greeted them respectfully. After all, those who could enter No. 9 were the top figures.
What were the identities of the four? How could Mr. Marquis be so respectful to them! The guards had already been shocked, guessing the identities of the four.
Fortunately, he didn’t do anything inappropriate at that time, otherwise…
The captain of the guards felt afraid and felt lucky.
Soon, Marquis Hyman led the four into the hall.
“We have finished the investigation on the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts. I’ve heard about the matter of the Scilar Magic Academy. I’ve heard that it also involves the depraved organization. Mr. Hyman, please introduce it to us in detail.” After sitting down, Dorothy didn’t waste time and went straight to the point.
Karami opened the notebook and was about to start recording. Yawning, Harrington leaned against the chair listlessly.
Marquis Hyman nodded. Although Dorothy behaved elegantly from beginning to end, he dared not take it lightly.
Generally speaking, the person who had the token was the leader of the investigation team. As the leader of the No. 9 investigation team, he must have the strength of a level-7 mage!
“Three days ago, I agreed to attend the ceremony held by the Scilar Magic Academy. After the ceremony, Count Brandon accused the Hyman family of colluding with the depraved organization, resulting in the beasts’ attack on the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts. They also showed evidence of the collusion between the Hyman family and the depraved organization, and even my personal guards stood out to testify.”
Speaking of this, Marquis Hyman couldn’t help smiling bitterly. Then he waved his hand, and a guard took out the previous letter of collusion.
Dorothy took the letter and looked it up and down carefully. Then he transferred it to the fat middle-aged man, Mond. After scanning the content of the letter, Mond nodded and handed the letter to Karami, who was responsible for keeping it.
They were sure that this letter was indeed related to the depraved organization.
Then, Marquis Hyman told him everything in detail. He didn’t exaggerate it. He deeply understood that in front of such a strong man, embroidering would only make the opposite result and cause the other party’s disgust.
“You mean the other member of the Vic family has run away?” Dorothy frowned and asked.
Marquis Hyman nodded and said helplessly, “Yes, I’ve sent people to look for him, but he seems to have left Naton County without any trace.”
After a moment of silence, Dorothy said slowly, “The Vic family intervenes in the matter of Naton County without authorization. We will report it to King City honestly.” He had planned to start with the escape men of the Vic family, but now it seemed to be impossible.
“Thank you, sir.” Marquis Hyman said happily. Although he could also report it directly to King City, it would be more important to report it to the core subordinate of the king.
Dorothy shook his head slightly and said with a smile, “We are going to meet the personal guard called Busson.”
“My lords, please follow me.” Marquis Hyman stood up and said respectfully. Before leaving, he couldn’t help but remind them, “I’ve already asked someone to interrogate him, but he is good at keeping secrets. So far, we haven’t got any useful information.”
“You just need to take us there.” Karami indifferently.
Facing the cold girl, Marquis Hyman nodded slightly and said, “Please follow me.”
Soon, they arrived at the place where Busson was imprisoned.
At this time, Busson was covered in blood and there was no complete part of his body. He looked very miserable.
“You… Give up. I won’t say anything.” Looking at Marquis Hyman helplessly, Busson lowered his head and said intermittently.
“We are the investigation team from King City.” Dorothy slowly walked up to Busson and pointed out his identity.
Hearing that they are the investigation team from King City, Busson was shocked and suddenly looked up, with hope in his eyes. He knew very well that if he cooperated with the Brandon family to set up the Hyman family, he would definitely die several times. In order to survive, he had to insist that the Hyman family colluded with the depraved organization.
Busson struggled, his voice trembling with uncontrollable excitement. “Sir, I can prove that the Hyman family colluded with the depraved organization. Please help me out. I can be used as a witness!”
Dorothy didn’t say anything. He turned around and took a look at her. Karami understood and walked up to Busson.
In the face of Busson’s slander, Marquis Hyman didn’t say anything. Instead, he looked at Karami and wanted to know what she was going to do.
All of a sudden, Karami began to emit some magic energy.
“Look into my eyes.” She looked at Busson and said slowly.
At the same time, Karami’s eyes were like sapphire, emitting a faint blue light. In an instant, it attracted all the attention of Busson.
A few seconds later, Busson’s face was dull and his eyes were dull.
