Mark looked at the secret letter in his hand. His shadow had been his personal attendant for many years. How could he fail in such an assassination? This was simply incredible. He was very clear about the strength of the 'shadow'. Even the two senior hunters in the consortium couldn't defeat the 'shadow'. Even the shadow assassin Glenn, who was good at assassination, couldn't break through the shadow's defense and hurt him.
The shadow was not only good at defense, but it was also good at assassination. However, it failed to assassinate an Intermediate Hunter's Oracle?!
His face was gloomy as he held the secret letter and turned away. He came to another luxurious and spacious office. There was a magnificent oil painting on the top of the office. There was a white-haired old man standing under it. The old man's hair was white but his posture was straight. He was the patriarch of the Mel family, George, who had once led the Mel family to take root in the commercial district.
"Father." Mark bowed his head.
George slowly turned around and glanced at him. He saw the secret letter in his father's hand. His brows slightly wrinkled: "What's wrong? Was there an accident in the assassination?"
"Father, the assassination failed." Mark said in a low voice.
George slightly frowned as he slowly sat down on the chair: "What about the shadow?"
"He is dead."
"Dead?" George seemed relieved: "It's good that he wasn't caught alive."
Mark sighed: "The shadow won't betray us even if he was caught alive. After all, he has been with our family for so many years. He knows the rules of the army."
George slightly shook his head, "Anyway, the dead are always more honest than the living. Even if he were to assassinate a senior hunter, he would have a great chance. It seems that the army has sent a very powerful expert to protect that kid. Anyway, the shadow is one of the guards. The army can only eat the scapegoat."
Mark sighed: "I didn't expect the kid to be so lucky. It's a pity for the shadow. I thought that he would be able to escape after the assassination. He has been hiding by my side and no one knows about it. Even if he assassinated the kid and exposed his identity, he can still return to my side in the future."
"People will eventually pass away." George looked at him meaningfully: "Since the shadow assassination failed, we should use other methods. Perhaps we should contact the Dark Church and ask them to act for us. As long as they give us money, these lunatics will do anything. I don't believe that this little devil can stop the hungry beasts of the Dark Church."
Mark nodded and turned away.
A gleam flashed across George's eyes as he watched him leave. He muttered to himself, "Military, heh, since you've protected him so diligently, let's see how you're going to clear your name now. The Shadow Clone was once one of your secret trump cards. Investigate him properly …"
…
…
Military headquarters in the north of the commercial district.
The news that Dean was assassinated by a member of the escort team spread to the top of the military after Dean returned. All the generals and colonels who heard the news were alarmed. They were scared and broke into a cold sweat. They were relieved when they learned that Dean was only injured. There was some palpitation and fear in their hearts. If Dean was really assassinated by the escort team, then it would be a devastating blow to the military!
Whether it was the anger of the people or the hatred of the Holy Church, the military would be in a state of subversion.
Lorenzo jumped up from his chair the moment he heard the news. His whole body was drenched in cold sweat. After hearing that the assassination had failed, his tightened heart slightly relaxed. He suddenly realized that this matter was too simple. He secretly rejoiced that God had given him a chance to correct his mistake.
"Send three hundred Purple Feather soldiers to master Dean's castle to protect him for 24 hours. Listen to master Dean's command, but don't let them leave master Dean's side!" Lorenzo ordered. He thought of something: "Inform the three Gopher brothers. Let them go and protect master Dean's life."
"Yes." The messenger turned and ran away.
A two-star general got up: "General, the three Gopher brothers have been your personal attendants for many years. If you send them to protect master Dean then your safety will be …"
"I'll stay in the barracks and won't go anywhere. It will be very difficult for the dark church to assassinate me." Lorenzo said in a deep voice: "If Mr Dean dies in this time of war. Especially if he is under the protection of the military then the military will be overthrown even if we win the war. These consortiums are not sheep but wolves!"
The two-star general's face changed as he sat down.
"Check it for me!" Lorenzo put his hand on the table as he looked at everyone: "I want to know in 10 minutes whether the two assassins are from our military or not. I want to know their identities as well as the people related to them. Find out all of them for me! This assassination isn't just aimed at master Dean. I suspect that the real target is the military. They want to intensify the conflict between the military and the Holy Church. In addition to the dark church, I want to see if there are other dirty people in disguise! "
"General, the identity of the two assassins has been found out." An officer next to him said: "They are from our military headquarters. One of them is a soldier called Port Allen, an honorable soldier who has made many meritorious deeds and won many awards. The other one is slightly older, called North Sundran. We checked his information and found that he is a retired soldier. He used to be a member of our military's' Magic Blade '. Later, he offended a noble in the commercial district during an operation to arrest a foreign army and was expelled from the' Magic Blade 'army. Since then, he has disappeared without a trace."
The generals looked at each other as they heard the report.
Lorenzo's face was gloomy as he said: "Immediately go and find out who placed these two in the escort team!"
"It was arranged by General Coso. General Coso has gone to the front line and is currently informing him to come back."
Lorenzo looked at the officer and said: "Who was the noble that this person offended before?"
"It is a family called 'Padstow'. This family is one of the shareholders of the Mellon consortium. But they don't have a high authority in the consortium." The officer said: "However, the family declared bankruptcy after North Senderan was expelled from the 'magic knife' army. They moved out of the commercial district and moved to the civilian district."
Lorenzo's eyes lit up: "Send someone to find out why they went bankrupt."
"Yes." The officer replied.
"Damn! One is a retired soldier and the other is a soldier!" Lorenzo clenched his fists as his eyes swept over the crowd: "Who can tell me how to explain this to the Holy Church?"
The generals were silent as they bowed their heads.
"General." An officer ran into the hall and reported: "The royal barbarian who was escorted by master Dean has confessed the attack route of the barbarians. At the same time she also confessed the names of the people who cooperated with them."
"Oh?" Lorenzo's eyes flashed and he said, "Tell me, who are they?"
"Yes." The officer opened the interrogation notebook: "They are Mark, Rudolph, Sarah Mel, Chaistov, Birandi …"
