"Mordin is a lady!"
Emma Eddie said under Kieran's gaze.
Lady?!
Kieran was stunned.
It wasn't that he was biased against women, it was just that when the name 'sculptor' was mentioned, he unconsciously treated 'Mordin' as a man.
Of course, maybe his knowledge was too shallow to know or remember those famous female sculptors.
But Kieran wouldn't deny that Emma Eddie gave him some special information.
"Can you guarantee it isn't a lie?"
Kieran made the final confirmation.
"Of course.
I swear on my name and reputation that what I said is the truth — Emma Eddie may lie but I won't use my name and reputation as the price. "
Emma Eddie said in a rather proud tone.
"Mm.
Then, according to the deal you made with Ferris, you got a promise from him that isn't too over the line.
What do you need? "
Kieran nodded and asked on behalf of his servant.
"If it's possible, I need protection for a while.
Although I don't want to admit it, I have somehow become a 'delicious cake' in a bunch of people's eyes. "
Emma Eddie wasn't stupid enough to reveal the cause and effect of the matter, all she said was a vague explanation.
Kieran noticed some clues but he didn't pursue the matter.
It wasn't that he trusted Emma Eddie.
It was that Kieran wished that something was wrong with Emma Eddie.
Only then could he have a better idea of what the mastermind behind the scenes was trying to achieve.
From the series of clues he got yesterday, he had a general idea that the mastermind behind the scenes wanted to use Hell Breath to get more of Mordin's sculptures.
But there was one point that Kieran couldn't figure out no matter how hard he thought about it.
What role did he, or more precisely, the dead 'him', play in the mastermind's plan?
No matter how Kieran thought about it, he realized 'his' death was completely unnecessary and unnecessary in this case.
Therefore, Kieran had to reconsider the reason behind Emma Eddie's appearance.
"Not to find 'my' body?
"What could it be?"
Kieran fell into deep thought as he watched Emma Eddie choose a guest room under Ferris's arrangement.
The doorbell interrupted Kieran.
Ding dong!
"Open the door!"
After the doorbell rang, the chief officer's irritable shout was heard.
"Ferris, open the door."
Kieran had no intention to stand up after his thoughts were interrupted. He ordered the Freezer.
"Yes, my lord."
Ferris signaled Emma Eddie not to say anything before he strode towards the door.
Two of the three layers of security on the door were opened, leaving only one chain lock. Then, the door was pulled open from the inside.
Ferris peeked at Pudder and the few police officers behind him through the gap.
"Where is 2567?"
Pudder asked bluntly.
"Please be respectful to His Excellency."
"This is my first warning to you, and it will also be my last."
"Of course, the same goes for all of you."
Ferris said coldly.
The cold tone didn't scare Pudder but the officers behind him shrunk their necks.
The killer aura that was honed over the years wasn't something a bunch of common officers could resist.
"Open the door!"
"This is also my first and last warning. If you don't open the door, I will use my own way to make you open the door."
Pudder said angrily.
"You can try."
Ferris grinned, revealing a smile full of killing intent.
The killer intent made the officers behind Pudder shiver. Pudder also reached out to the gun at his waist.
"2567, is this the cooperation you told me about?"
"Or are you afraid of seeing me?"
"Are you feeling guilty?"
Pudder raised his voice.
His voice clearly entered Kieran's ears.
Kieran couldn't help but frown.
In fact, Pudder was right about one thing.
Kieran didn't want to see Emma Eddie at that particular moment.
Of course, it wasn't because of guilt or fear.
It was because if he entered Emma Eddie's line of sight, it would affect his plans.
Following the appearance of [Mordin's Third Sculpture], some things had changed without Kieran's knowledge.
Based on what he read before, Mordin should have carved eight statues throughout her life. Other than the last one, Hell Breath, which was clearly recorded, the other seven statues were only vaguely recorded. However, it was certain that they existed. In the relevant books, every author was certain of it but none of them were able to clearly state what the other seven statues were.
If [Mordin's Third Sculpture] didn't appear, Kieran would think it was just some baseless legend or some clumsy joke.
However, following the appearance of [Mordin's Third Sculpture], everything changed.
Maybe it wasn't that the authors didn't want to record the other seven sculptures but they couldn't!
As for why?
It might be a curse!
Or maybe …
Man made!
Mordin's sculptures possessed some kind of mystical power and once it was discovered, it would attract greedy people like carps crossing the river.
Those greedy people selfishly sealed off everything related to Mordin's sculptures.
Never underestimate the selfishness caused by greed.
It was terrifying.
It carried the power of destruction with it.
It would destroy others and also destroy oneself.
Just like the holder of [Mordin's Third Sculpture].
It felt like someone was using the news of Hell Breath to tempt those who held Mordin's statue to show themselves.
Even Kieran was captivated by the news.
Kieran wouldn't deny it.
When he saw the attributes of [Mordin's Third Sculpture] and knew there were seven other similar sculptures, Kieran's interest was piqued.
He really wanted to know what the other sculptures were used for.
Therefore, he thought he should slightly cooperate with the mastermind behind the scenes, allowing him to lure the other sculpture holders out more smoothly.
That was why Kieran asked Ferris to gather information about Mordin in such a grand manner.
However, to Kieran's surprise, Pudder came knocking on his door.
It seemed like Pudder's information network was much better than Kieran thought.
"Ferris, let Chief Officer Pudder in."
Kieran ordered.
"Yes, my lord."
Ferris unlocked the lock and opened the door, bowed and said, "This way please."
It was of utmost standard.
As if Pudder was a qualified butler.
However, none of those who entered the room saw it.
Pudder was in a rage, he wasn't in the mood to observe.
The rest of the officers were trembling in fear.
Without further ado, Pudder strode over to Kieran and showed a document to Kieran.
"2567, based on reliable leads, I suspect you are related to a murder case!
Now! "
