The sudden news made Lagren frown hard.
It was obvious that he didn't expect this to happen.
"What happened?"
"Who would allow Webster to do this?
"You're being controlled?"
Or … "
Lagren kept guessing before he looked at Kieran.
Unlike Lagren's surprise, Kieran's expression didn't change at all. He was still cold and calm, as if he already knew what was going to happen.
"You guessed it?"
Lagren asked.
"A man's heart is a bottomless abyss, filled with greed. It's like a formless monster that will consign those who are attracted to it to eternal damnation.
So, what's so strange about Webster doing something out of the line? "
Kieran didn't answer the question directly.
Likewise, he hid some crucial information from Lagren.
Just like Lagren.
Webster also hid some crucial information from Lagren.
For example, the so-called key person, Hardy Lynne.
If he didn't do anything out of the ordinary, he wouldn't be addressed as such.
"I think we need to have an open discussion."
Lagren said.
"Sure.
But before that, I need your help to revoke my wanted order in Eiders. I want to go to the scene of Hardy Lynne's death for a look. "
Kieran nodded and stated his condition.
"You bastards, do you think I'm omnipotent?"
Lagren grumbled again.
However, it didn't stop him from picking up the phone.
The call was short, but the result was great.
"Your wanted order has been revoked.
Now, you can move around freely.
Every time I see you bastards, I'm bleeding a lot. Do you know that in order to maintain a district's intelligence network and clear up the relationship between various departments, the HQ's funding isn't enough?
Do you know why people like us tend to lose our hair, get oily, and even die of sudden death?
It's all pressure! Pressure! Pressure! Do you understand?
So, you must report this to the HQ and increase the funding for me. "
After Lagren told Kieran the good news, he looked sad and angry.
"I know, I know, I can't."
Kieran gave a straightforward answer.
Kieran's straightforward answer was like an arrow piercing Lagren's heart. The liaison officer clutched his chest and took two steps back as if he was going to fall at any moment. His mumbling didn't stop. "You're telling me you're not a Demon Hunter? From head to toe, even their answers are exactly the same as those bastards! "
"There are always similar foods in the world … yes, things."
"The world is full of wonders. There will always be amazing things that happen."
"And these things are always created by people."
Kieran said faintly.
"Is this the reason for your refusal?"
"Also, you just said food, not objects."
Lagren rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"You heard wrong."
"And that's not a reason to refuse. I'm just telling you, Wilberst is the one who broke into this — no matter what he did to the contrary at the beginning, he must want to get the most out of it now."
Kieran denied without batting an eyelid. He then quietly shifted the topic.
It seemed like it was very effective.
Lagren's attention was captured right away.
"How are you sure he isn't being controlled?"
"Or is there something else?"
Lagren looked at Kieran with furrowed brows.
Kieran didn't answer, he looked back at Lagren. Lagren was stunned for a while before he reacted to Kieran's words and said slowly, "That thing went missing from Hardy Lynne's hands, and based on my investigation, it should be an inside job! However, the only thing Hardy didn't expect was that the guy he hired was so unreliable that he was intercepted by a 'cheat'. "
Lagren then looked at Kieran again.
Kieran, of course, didn't disappoint Lagren.
"I've seen controlled people before, and I've also seen people who weren't.
Last night, I saw Wilberst, he was the latter. "
Lagren didn't react to Kieran's subjective answer, quite the opposite, he even nodded.
The mistaken identity made Lagren completely trust Kieran.
Kieran didn't lie to Lagren either.
A rank IV Spirit attribute was enough for Kieran to make some reliable judgements.
"I see.
Don't ask me what that thing is. "
Lagren muttered to himself, but at the next moment, he spoke formally.
Don't ask?
Kieran squinted his eyes.
His words were easy to associate with.
Don't ask, he knew.
But he couldn't answer.
Was it because asking the question would bring trouble upon himself?
Or was the thing itself troublesome?
Guesses popped up in Kieran's heart.
But he didn't say anything.
Lagren's formal answer made him wisely avoid any questions related to that thing, but his heart was filled with thoughts.
Kieran thought of Wu, who had gone missing until now.
He also thought of the so-called 'God knows by calling his name'.
A minute later, Kieran retracted his thoughts.
"When I come back, I'll need the information on those four."
As he spoke, Kieran turned around and walked out.
"Be careful.
I'm afraid this matter isn't that simple. "
Lagren reminded Kieran.
Kieran didn't answer. He raised his right hand and waved before vanishing into thin air.
Lagren waited until Kieran was out of sight before he returned to his work. Lagren muttered out of habit.
"Always treating me like a babysitter, yet still doesn't want to admit his identity."
"As expected, with such a personality, he must be from the same lineage as those bastards."
"Is it because of what I said back then, that's why he's doing this?"
"What a bunch of bastards who want to save face."
The Demon Hunters were eccentric and arrogant, it was a well-known fact. Among the eccentric group, there were some who were very special.
Compared to the special Demon Hunters, these guys were more eccentric and harder to get along with.
Just like Kieran.
He was a Demon Hunter, yet he kept denying it.
It made Lagren, who had been looking through the information, think of those four guys.
Every single one of them was a troublesome and helpless bastard.
"Which one will it be?"
Lagren flipped through the information excitedly.
He was eager to see how shocked Kieran would be after his identity was exposed.
As for the matter that Kieran asked him to do?
After the incident in Eiders, Lagren had collected all the information on those four guys and after going through them in detail, he threw them under his bed.
Why didn't he give it to Kieran right away?
Kieran said he would need it when he came back, so Lagren wouldn't give it to him in advance.
Dok, Dok Dok!
Just as Lagren was narrowing down the scope of his search, knocks sounded on the door. He opened the door and saw Smith standing in front of the door in silence. His head instantly ached.
Lagren was too familiar with Smith's expression.
A lot of those who couldn't become a Demon Hunter in HQ had the same expression.
"Come in."
Lagren turned around, his heart thinking about how to reject Smith in a roundabout way.
Just as Lagren was thinking about how to reject Smith in a roundabout way, Kieran shook his head at Mier.
