Mary looked at Celty in shock.
Her heart couldn't calm down for quite some time.
The little girl never thought her mother would be a member of the Raven Sect.
Therefore, it was natural for the little girl to look at Celty with doubtful eyes.
She suspected that Celty was lying to her.
"Lies are always lies, like the snow in summer, it melts quickly. As for the matter of your mother being a member of the Raven Sect, you can ask your father … His Majesty King James VIII will give you a definite answer!"
"Alright, I can't stay any longer!
That Hon. 2567 is really frightening me, if he finds out about my little tricks, he will not go easy on me … If you are sure about what I said, please meet me in the woods behind Thunder Fortress in the evening, I will tell you more about your mother. "
"Of course, I don't restrict you from coming alone or bringing someone else."
Celty then bowed slightly and left the tent.
The little girl was in a daze as she looked at the direction where Celty left.
"Mother is from the Raven Sect?
But why didn't she tell me? "
All sorts of thoughts were swirling in her mind.
Then, the little girl ran towards the king's tent without a second thought.
After the little girl left, Kieran walked out from the shadow beside the tent.
Looking at the little girl's back and the direction where the man named Celty left, Kieran's eyes turned cold.
When the Snake School suddenly abducted Bosco and diverted their attention, Kieran noticed something was wrong.
His suspicious nature made Kieran wonder what had happened to cause the Snake School to be so naive.
Inducement, deceit, and all sorts of guesses popped up in Kieran's mind.
Then, assuming all the guesses were true.
Then, who was the one who induced the Snake School and deceived them?
An image of the mastermind behind the scenes appeared in Kieran's mind.
Then, when the three captives from Snake School were placed before Kieran, everything made sense.
The mastermind wanted Kieran to interrogate the three captives.
To be more precise, he was using the three of them to stall him.
And in the entire Warren Garrison Camp, who was worthy enough for him to take action?
Mary and King James VIII.
Apart from these two people, Kieran couldn't think of any other possibilities.
However, to Kieran's surprise, the man knew Mary's mother was from the Raven Sect.
There was no doubt that Mary's mother had been hiding her identity.
He didn't even mention anything about Mary.
"Raven Sect, and a witch at that!"
"Then, he was assassinated by Snake school …"
Kieran muttered to himself as he narrowed his eyes.
Kieran, who had been through many dungeons, picked up the scent of a sub-mission or special event.
From the beginning until the end, Kieran didn't doubt the statement that Mary's mother was from the Raven Sect.
There was really no need to lie about King James VIII.
Of course, Kieran was certain that the other party was up to no good.
It wasn't just a day or two since Mary appeared in the public eye.
The other party obviously had a better chance to meet Mary, so why would he choose this time when the Prairies invaders were suffering a setback?
The coincidence raised Kieran's alarms even higher.
As for his original doubts?
The other party mentioned that Mary's mother was from the Raven Sect, but it didn't mean that the other party was from the Raven Sect as well. There was a high possibility that the other party got to know about it through other means and used it to gain Mary's trust.
His vigilance against strangers always made Kieran think from a malicious point of view.
He knew it wasn't a good habit.
Fortunately, it wasn't a bad habit either.
It was just hard for those who thought of themselves as noble to accept it.
What Kieran would do next would make those noble people condemn him with words and pen, infuriating them to no end.
After he strode back to the tent, Kieran faced the three Snake school captives and used [Mesly Ring] to control the leader without a second thought.
"No! You can't do this!
I … "
"At your command, master!"
Fanner screamed when he saw the [Mesly Ring] on Kieran's left middle finger. His cold and ruthless expression was nowhere to be seen.
His intense struggle had slightly raised the Spirit authentication of his opponent.
However, under Kieran's SSS + Spirit, he was completely suppressed.
It didn't change anything.
A moment of struggle and the next moment of obedience terrified the other two captives.
They instinctively curled up their bodies, hoping to avoid Kieran's gaze.
It seemed to work though, as Kieran's gaze wasn't on them anymore, which made them heave a breath of relief.
In fact, [Mesly Ring]'s [Charm] and [Dominate] could only be used once a day.
Otherwise, Kieran wouldn't have held back.
"Tell me everything you know about Snake school."
Kieran said.
"Yes, master.
The leader of Snake School is Lady Perry Kaner. We have around 200 to 300 members, other than a few in Riverdale, the rest are scattered all over Warren … "
Fanner started to speak.
Kieran listened quietly, comparing the statements he had gotten from the police.
It seemed like the first captive, Torstar, didn't tell the whole truth.
It was a very skillful one, nine truths and one falsehood.
If Kieran really followed Torstar's statement to investigate the members of Snake School, he would surely expose his flaws at the most crucial moment, causing him to lose everything.
Kieran glanced over Torstar and shifted his gaze away when Torstar was shivering.
Kieran never expected Torstar to cooperate.
The statement before him was just a test.
"Snake School is still a very strict organization even after it was destroyed. Even after the members were captured and faced with absolute threats, the scales in their hearts would still lean towards their own organization … Perry Kaner?"
Kieran muttered the name in his heart.
Although Perry Kaner was a woman, she was able to bring the fallen Snake School back from the dead and build a more perfect organization than before.
It was really shocking.
Anyone who dared to underestimate a woman like her would be in big trouble.
"Have you seen Perry Kaner before?
Or do you know where she is now? "
Kieran asked.
"Yes, but the leader always hides her face. Our ranks aren't high enough for us to see the leader's real face.
The same goes for her whereabouts.
There are less than two people in the organization who know the leader's whereabouts! "
Fanner answered.
Kieran nodded.
Fanner's cautiousness was within his expectations.
"Then … What about Jeanne James?
Some of the members of Snake School once served her and hunted down Mary! Of course, I'm not interested in those people. They might be trained by Folly, but why are you people still chasing after Mary after Jeanne's death? "
Kieran asked.
"The order we received was to capture Mary alive, not kill her!
As for why? I don't know! "
Fanner shook his head and said honestly.
