Only Li Huailin, Li Huailin, Anthony, and Sodero were left in his room. Li Huailin didn't allow anyone else to disturb them for the time being because there were too many people who wanted to disturb them. Currently, Li Huailin handed everything over to Geert. Geert had been so busy that he hadn't slept for two days and two nights. Li Huailin was a little worried that Geert would suddenly die. However, Geert seemed to be having a good time. Li Huailin naturally expressed that as long as Geert was happy, it was fine.
After two days and many twists and turns, Li Huailin could finally start searching for the last secret treasure. He was also listening to Sodero's explanation of the whole situation. Of course, it was about the God's Eye organization and the Yaffler Slave Hunters.
Previously, it was said that the Yaffle slave hunters were only a part of the God's Eye. The God's Eye organization was very large, and Sodero didn't know much about the specific situation of the entire organization. However, he knew about the Yaffle slave hunters because he was one of the officers of the Yaffle slave hunters.
The situation that Sodero learned from Sodero was simply shocking. Of course, the Yaffler Slave Hunters had always been working in the dark, so it wasn't clear how many people they had captured and how many properties they had involved. Now that Sodero had only mentioned a little, Anthony couldn't take it anymore.
"It actually involved so many people and such a huge amount of money." Anthony was also shocked by these numbers. He originally thought that he could capture thousands of black slaves (slaves that were involved in shady trade) in a year, but in fact, the number that the Yaffler Slave Hunters caught in a month was more than what Anthony expected. Moreover, it was hard to imagine that an Elf slave could be sold for tens of thousands of gold. Hearing this made Anthony's hair stand on end.
"The underground market is so huge, and the profits are so high. No wonder so many people are willing to take the risk out of desperation." Anthony said. He also knew why the Empire could not eliminate the slave hunters even though they had put in so much effort. With such a huge profit chain, no one could easily let it go.
Sodero also mentioned that the Yaffle slave hunters should still be active because he was only one of the leaders. Even if he wasn't there, the Yaffle slave hunters wouldn't be paralyzed. But with Sodero around, the others could start capturing them.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this for now. Let's talk about you first." When Li Huailin saw that the topic was not quite right, he quickly changed the topic. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if he triggered some slave-hunting mission. He had to find his secret protector first.
"This … I said this first because I actually don't know much about this matter." Sodero spread his hands and said, "Your Majesty, we capture at least 10,000 slaves a year, and it's normal for a dozen of them to run away. I really don't remember much about Sir Anthony."
"What? You don't remember? "Li Huailin was stunned." What's the use of you … "
"No, no, no. Don't worry, Huailin," Anthony said. "In fact, I have some information on my side."
"Huh?" Li Huailin asked. "What is it?"
"It's like this. The slave-hunting team that caught me should be the third team, because I heard the leader talking to the higher-ups," Anthony said. "The leader's name is Sakshiri. Of course, I killed him. In this case, we should be able to speculate the specific person based on the time."
"Oh, that's true." Li Huailin nodded and then looked at Sodero. "How is it? Do you remember anything?"
"The third team is useless because we have several teams, but Sakshiri …" Sodero was a little stunned. "I've heard of this person, but … not recently. The last time I heard of him was a long time ago. He's not my direct subordinate, so I don't have any impression of him …"
"What's the use of you …" Li Huailin facepalmed.
"But …" Sodero suddenly said.
"Why are you taking so long to speak? If you have something to say, say it quickly," Li Huailin said immediately.
"But my subordinates might know," Sodero said. "The ones who were captured with me last time. You know that I can't deal with these things one by one. My subordinates should have an impression of them."
"Where are his subordinates?" Li Huailin immediately turned to Anthony and asked.
"They've been killed," Anthony replied immediately.
"Hey, why did you kill them so quickly, Big Brother …" Li Huailin facepalmed.
"This was handled by Delnate. He said that these people were trying to assassinate the emperor, so he killed them immediately. If Sodero wasn't still useful, he would have been killed as well," Anthony explained.
"Verden, you didn't even execute him for his crime of treason, but you executed these idiots. Big Bro, what are you doing?" Li Huailin said.
"Treason has to be tried in public. Moreover, Verden is a former general of the empire. Even if he wants to be executed, there must be a proper reason. Those subordinates are just assassins. Of course, they should be executed on the spot," Anthony said.
"Your Majesty, Lord Anthony, please don't worry." Sodero saw that the two were about to start arguing, so he quickly said, "There's still a solution. You see, although the people are no longer here, the organization's documents are kept … Oh, that's not right. The organization's building has been blown up, so the documents should be buried underground …"
"…" This was all Li Huailin's doing. He was a little speechless.
"But …" Sodero was indeed a leader. He could come up with a lot of ideas. "Anyway, I can tell you about the other leaders. One of them must be Sakshiri's boss. Although I don't remember who it is, as long as we can catch him, of course, we can. He should know about this."
"That's more reliable." Li Huailin nodded. "Besides you, how many other leaders are there?"
"Two more. There are a total of three people in charge of the Yaffle slave hunters, and there are two other people of the same rank as me. Sakshiri must be a subordinate of one of them," Sodero said immediately.
"That's good." Anthony nodded. "In that case, I'll immediately notify the whole country to arrest them. We should be able to catch these two people soon."
"No, no, no … It's just two people. Why do we need to arrest them all over the country?" Li Huailin immediately said. "You should know where your organization's office is, right?"
"Of course I know." Sodero nodded.
"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and arrest them now." Of course, Li Huailin didn't want to drag it any longer. Since he already had a clue, he had to get to work quickly. When Anthony became wanted throughout the country, it would be troublesome if he ran away. If he couldn't catch him for a few years, when would he be able to do it? He had to cut the Gordian knot and settle this matter quickly.
"Now?" Anthony and Sodero were both surprised. They were in too much of a hurry.
"Anthony." Li Huailin patted Anthony's shoulder and said, "Look at this evil organization. How many civilians are captured in a year? This is simply a cancer on the continent. As the emperor of the human race, shouldn't you take some responsibility and get rid of this cancer in time?"
"That's true, but …"
Before Anthony could finish speaking, Li Huailin interrupted him. "Okay, that's what I was thinking too. Let's go."
"This …" Anthony shook his head and finally agreed. After all, Li Huailin was still Li Huailin. Even if he became the emperor of the continent, his personality was still the same. Anthony was almost used to it.
Of course, this time, Li Huailin did not intend to take things slowly. He did not have the time either. At this time, he had to crush the enemy and solve the problem quickly. Therefore, Li Huailin decided to find a powerful guy and quickly arrest him. Of course, he could not bring the army because the other party might run away. Therefore, he could only bring a few powerful guys, such as Melgines.
After leaving the door, Li Huailin found Melgines. This guy … had just recovered. Speaking of which, Melgines was really powerful. He was indeed at the Saint-tier. Previously, when he was injured, he could kill Ames and Verden. After defeating the two of them, other than vomiting blood, he was not injured. His combat power was really strong. Of course, after returning, Melgines was naturally taken care of by Ed. It was just a bottle of potion. After resting for a while, Melgines had completely recovered.
Although he was a little dissatisfied with running around all the time, Melgines still agreed to follow Li Huailin. Li Huailin thought about it and went to find Tyr, the first disciple of the Sword Saint. This was also a powerful combat power. Just like that, Li Huailin's luxurious capture team was formed. The True Sword Saint, Melgreens, was the leader, and Anthony, Sodero, and Tyr were all at the level of Chief Disciple. This team was simply terrifying. It shouldn't be a problem for them to capture a few black-hearted merchants.
After explaining the purpose of this mission to the two of them, Melgines and Tyr suddenly became quite willing. The two of them could be considered as people with a sense of justice. They also deeply hated this kind of criminal organization that spanned across three countries. Looking at the two of them who were a little hot-blooded, Li Huailin quickly reminded them that they had to catch them alive. Li Huailin still wanted to ask about the matter. It would be troublesome if they were killed directly.
In short, after reminding them, Li Huailin brought this powerful team to the elven city of Segalars. This was the city closest to the base camp of the Yaffle slave hunters. The first leader should be nearby.
