"It's been a while!"
Kieran replied.
Then, he noticed Contly was looking at him with an unusual gaze.
It was a gaze filled with curiosity, anger, and a hint of awe.
When the lady who claimed to be a bounty hunter but was actually the new guardian of Isogu City met his gaze, she humphed politely and turned her head away.
"Eat, eat!"
Becker was stuffing the pastries on the plate into his mouth while muttering in a muffled voice.
"Lady Contly, can you bring Becker to get some more food?
This little bit of food isn't enough for him! "
The elderly scholar said.
"Very well, Sir Herbert!"
Contly nodded respectfully and led the big guy out of the room.
With food as a lure, the big guy left without any complaints.
Right away, only Kieran and Herbert were left in the parlor.
"You're actually from the Royal Family … How surprising!"
Herbert said.
"To be honest, when I knew my identity, I was surprised as well."
Kieran shrugged and swiftly retracted the wicked aura from his body.
He returned to his normal self once more.
The cardinal sins were dissatisfied with the suppression but in front of Kieran's Advance Rank Spirit attribute, they couldn't resist at all and were suppressed.
"It's still this look of yours that makes people feel comfortable!
The look from before … It's too scary, Contly was obviously frightened!
You need to know, there aren't many things that could scare Contly, even at Carderweld's place, she displayed quite a bit of spirit and made that man suffer quite a bit. "
Herbert gave a kind laugh.
"Can you tell me in detail what happened?"
Kieran asked.
"Of course!
"After you and Edgar were injured in the battle and left temporarily, everything happened as you expected. The Langdon military appeared and they always knew about the existence of the Night and Mutants. They even had quite a close collaboration with both of them, just like Carlhart Military Camp.
"But the human heart is never satisfied!"
"After acquiring powerful soldiers, some in the military wished to acquire more capital and Carderweld was one of the representatives. He thought he should control everything, not just the Nights and the Mutants but also the Emperor's legacy!"
"And I am the chess piece that Carderweld has his eyes on, the one that is out of his expectations. Because you, 2567, joined my group. Not only did you kill Bartos, but you also killed Benz, Mozorc, Edgar and the other Nights and Mutants that Carderweld was worried about. So, Carderweld thought the opportunity had arrived and there was no need to hide anymore."
At this point, the old scholar smiled bitterly.
No one wanted to be used as a pawn, and the old scholar was no exception.
Especially when this chess piece could be 'controlled' at any time.
As the old scholar spoke, he wrote on the table with his finger: I was forced to drink poison, and I was also implanted with a device similar to a wiretap.
Kieran looked at it and nodded.
He had already expected this.
Then, he said.
"But he ignored me!"
…
"Ignore?"
"I don't dare to ignore a Royal!"
Carderweld was sitting on a sofa with both of his hands on a walking stick. He rested his chin on the back of his hand and muttered softly.
Carderweld wasn't young anymore.
His white hair, wrinkled eyes and slightly bloated body indicated that he was getting on in years.
But no one in the tent dared to ignore the old man.
Even if he was smiling all the time.
"My lord, should we initiate the emergency filing?"
One of the aides asked.
"Emergency filing?
"Do you think a single [Aimida Flower] can move Carlhart?"
He will only be fiercer than 2567!
What we need to do is to watch him fight with 2567 openly and covertly, then reap the benefits from it … Understand? "
Carderweld said as he straightened his body and flipped through the information about Kieran.
It was the latest information that was sent in this afternoon, including what Kieran ate when he entered the hotel, everything was recorded in detail.
The more he read, the more Carderweld frowned.
A powerful opponent wasn't scary.
The scary thing was this opponent wasn't just powerful, he was cautious as well.
Fortunately, there was still Carlhart to tangle with him, he didn't need to face him directly.
Dak Dak Dak!
A series of footsteps messed up Carderweld's thoughts.
Carderweld raised his head in slight displeasure and saw his aide who went to 'deliver the letter' jogging in.
His uniform was stained and a lot of places were torn.
There were cuts on his face as well, blood stains lingering on it.
"The Royals don't have a good temper right?"
Carderweld said with a smile.
When he sent his aide to deliver the letter, Carderweld already knew what would happen to his aide. He was even prepared to recruit another aide to fill up the staff officer team.
After all, he had no lack of people like Carlhart around him.
"My lord, Carlhart is dead!"
The aide said with a pale face.
In fact, ever since he got the news and knew the details of Carlhart's death, the aide's face had been as pale as a sheet.
"What?!
"Tell me everything you know!"
Carderweld stood up from the sofa and asked in a heavy tone.
The aide-de-camp immediately told him everything he had learned from his investigation.
Everyone's face in the tent changed repeatedly as they listened to the aide's words.
He didn't do it himself!
He killed Carlhart by summoning some kind of animal spirit!
Carderweld's face was as heavy as still water.
When the scouts who went to gather more information came back with definite news, Carderweld didn't hesitate anymore and gave the order right away, "Return to the old lair!"
"Right away!"
After the emphasized order was given, the squad that was hiding a few dozen kilometers away from Carlhart swiftly moved out.
They didn't stop at all as they locked onto a certain direction and drove off at full speed.
Inside a custom-made wagon, Carderweld took out a wooden carved ring from his shirt pocket.
He was softly wiping a certain mark inside the ring.
When the key point was touched, the wooden ring swiftly burned up and turned into ashes within a breath's time.
Looking at the pile of ashes, Carderweld's face showed heartache.
He thought he wouldn't have to use that power anymore.
But who would've thought …
"2567, 2567!"
Carderweld muttered softly.
But right away, Carderweld thought of something and laughed in schadenfreude.
