Dean's eyes narrowed as he listened.
"The Scott consortium's Chai family has a deep relationship with the dark church. The Mellon consortium can compete with the Scott consortium so there should be a strong dark church behind it …" Dean's eyes lit up: "There was no movement when the Mellon consortium disintegrated. Wait … Is it the dark forces behind the Mellon consortium that tried to assassinate me in the poison soup and the Scarlet Grand Canyon?"
Dean's eyes flashed as he thought of this. There was a trace of killing intent in his eyes.
"Elder, the Night King has dealings with the Scott consortium. So the other consortiums should have dealings with the other elders, right?" Dean calmly said to Kerry.
Kerry nodded and said, "Basically, but it's not clear who is in contact with whom. I've only heard some rumors, but I can't be sure. However, I know that the elders of the 12th and 7th districts are competing for the support of a new consortium. Now that you've taken office, you might as well give it a try. If you can win over this consortium, then our 9th district won't be so weak."
"Are you referring to the New World consortium?"
"Yes, it's the New World consortium that destroyed the Mellon consortium." Kerry nodded: "The New World Consortium had the support of the genius Dean. They had swallowed the Mellon consortium and all the industries had been seized. In a short period of time they have grown rapidly. It is estimated that it won't be long before they replace the Mellon consortium and become the new big consortium. Although the genius behind them has been arrested by the inner wall, but they may be able to come out again in the future. Once they win over the New World Consortium they may be able to get the favor of the genius in the future. “
Dean asked: "I've heard about it. Elder, why did the inner wall arrest him?"
Kerry smiled: "I heard that saints from the Monastery were ordered to arrest him. They said that he was colluding with the dark church. In my opinion, this should be a false story. If he had the dark church's people behind him then he would have used the dark church's power to destroy the Mellon consortium. But he didn't use the dark church's power in the process. Either he didn't have our people behind him or he wanted to cover his relationship with the dark church so he didn't use the dark church's power."
Dean's eyes lit up as he pretended to be surprised: "The Monastery shouldn't be shooting without a goal. Since they said so then there must be some evidence. Otherwise why would they arrest him?"
Kerry looked at him: "We can't come to a conclusion. But we know that the Monastery has many motives to arrest him. You should know that the genius Dean has created two legendary items in just one year. Moreover he has created a brand new 'gas' system which has impacted the original nine systems. Alchemists, potioneers, diviners and other occupations of the dark church have a strong impact on the alchemists, pharmacists, diviners and other occupations of the dark church. If we give him a few more years then he will be above everyone in the outer wall!"
"The inner wall has no reason to let such a dangerous existence grow. They have to kill him or win him over. Otherwise it will be a disaster for other forces. The Monastery is just casually looking for a crime. Their purpose is to send him to the inner wall."
Dean pretended to ponder: "If that is the case then why don't they summon him openly?"
Kerry smiled: "You think too simply. If they summon him openly then the other forces of the inner wall will take a fancy to him. Then they can come over and make friends with him. If they arrest him then they will have a reason to refuse other forces."
"So that's how it is." Dean was enlightened.
"I might be able to see him when I retire to the inner wall. I really want to see him with my own eyes. He should be a high level figure if he is recruited by the Monastery." Kerry said in an expectant tone.
Dean's eyes lit up: "Elder, are you from the inner wall?"
Kerry was surprised: "Why do you ask?"
"I see that you are very familiar with the inner wall."
"I'm not familiar with it." Kerry laughed: "The Monastery is the force behind the Holy Church. Why would I come to the outer wall if I'm from the inner wall? Isn't that too much to do?"
Dean was startled: "So it is the first time for elder to go to the inner wall?"
"Yes, I have retired. The Saint will take me to the dark parliament in the inner wall." Kerry laughed.
"Dark parliament?"
"Yes, the forces of the Dark Church in the inner wall are irreconcilable with the Monastery. It's similar to the relationship between us and the Holy Church." Kerry smiled.
Dean was startled. There was a trace of complex feelings in his heart as he looked at Kerry's smile. He would have believed his words if he didn't go to the inner wall and meet the elder of the Monastery. But now it seemed that Kerry wasn't from the inner wall but an elder of the Dark Church who was promoted from the outer wall.
However, the Monastery had a way to make an elder of the Dark Church trust them. Moreover, he had fabricated a lie about the dark parliament. Dean didn't know what would happen to Kerry after he entered the inner wall. Would he be obliterated halfway or would he be used by the Monastery again?
He didn't think too deeply about it. There were too many possibilities. Perhaps what Kerry was saying now was just a pretense.
"You can ask Hawkeye if there is anything you don't understand. He is my confidant and absolutely trustworthy." Kerry patted Dean's shoulder: "I'll leave the 9th region to you. If I have the chance to come back I hope to see a prosperous 9th region."
Dean nodded: "I'm afraid you won't have the chance."
"Elder, what if the other elders collude with the Holy Church to frame us? What should we do?" Dean asked.
Kerry shook his head: "It's too risky. If they are found to be colluding with the Holy Church then they will be boycotted by the elders and kicked out. No one would dare to violate the rules. You shouldn't do such a thing either. Do you understand?"
"Understood." Dean narrowed his eyes. Ever since the jailbreak incident he didn't follow any rules.
Kerry nodded: "I'll go first if there's nothing else."
Dudian nodded. He and Hawkeye sent him out of the manor. After Hawkeye left, they returned to the headquarters of the dark church in the 9th region.
"You go out first. I'm going to use the animal glue mask." Dean said.
Hawkeye respectfully left the room.
Dean glanced around the room, pulled up the sheets and bedding in the bedroom, and opened the flat box. Inside was a delicate and thin mask, as transparent as water. He gently sniffed it, but there was no smell.
He thought for a moment and put it back into the box. After a while, he called Hawkeye who was outside the door.
"Tell me about the situation in the 9th region." Dudian sat on the desk, still wearing the mask.
Hawkeye looked at him and nodded: "Elder, you are now an elder so you can't use your previous code name. I hope that you can have a new code name in the future."
Dean thought for a moment: "The codename will be Nighthawk, the eagle with eagle eyes."
"Nighthawk?" Hawkeye was startled.
"What?"
"Nothing. It's just a coincidence. There is a four-star alchemist in the 9th region who is called Nighthawk." Hawkeye said: "Elder, you can change it. We can only cancel the code names of those who are below two stars."
Dean raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment: "Let's call him 'Devil'."
"Devil?" Hawkeye was stunned for a moment: "I'll go back and check it out. If there is no one who is above two stars then I'll cancel it for you."
"Alright." Dean nodded: "Let's report the situation here first."
Hawkeye nodded and said: "The territory of our 9th district is from Kloss Street to Pusi Street in the west of the commercial district … In the commercial district, the residential district and the slums, our manpower is mainly concentrated in the residential district where the Holy Church's control is loose and convenient for us to act. The main territories of the other elders are also concentrated in the residential district."
"But most of the five-star alchemists and potion masters in the 9th region are active in the commercial district."
"We have four Five-star Alchemists, two Great Potioneers, and one Great Fortune Teller …"
