Although Elena felt awkward and was disgusted by Jovic's straightforwardness, Jovic was still a level-2 God's Punisher of the Church of the Storm. He was second only to Pope Irsanc in the Church.
Elena knew that even if she couldn't win over someone like Jovic to her side, she definitely couldn't push him to Hummels' side. Hence, she suppressed the disgust in her heart and said with a smile, "Of course, everyone knows your character, Jovic. However, if you have any new ideas one day, I'm very willing to have a good talk with you!" "Of course," Elena said with a smile, "Everyone knows about your character, Jovic. However, if you have any new ideas one day, I'm very willing to discuss it with you!"
Jovic, the blond, middle-aged man, nodded and didn't reject Elena's kindness. After chatting for a while, Jovic got back to business. "Elena, my mission is to assist you in dealing with Reyes. However, I've just arrived here, and I'm not familiar with the situation here. Can you tell me about the situation in Flosinone?" he asked with a serious expression.
Elena's expression changed when she heard Jovic's words. She seemed to want to say something, but she didn't know where to start.
Seeing this, the blond middle-aged man, Jovic, looked very puzzled. He didn't know what Elena was doing, and immediately said with some dissatisfaction, "Elena, I'm a God's Punisher of the church. Now, it's His Holiness Elsank's order to transfer me from East Khoy to help you complete the mission. You can trust me completely!"
"If you don't trust me, you can apply to His Holiness Irsanc to let me return to East Khoy and let other God's Punishers come here to help you deal with Reyes!"
Elena felt that Jovic was a little angry. She smiled bitterly and made up her mind. She said helplessly, "I'm sorry, Jovic. It's not that I don't trust you, but it's really hard to talk about this …"
"Elena, what do you mean by that?" Jovic did not understand the meaning behind Elena's words. He frowned and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?
Seeing this, Elena sighed and didn't answer Jovic's question directly. Instead, she waved her hand gently and a light blue barrier enveloped both her and Jovic.
Jovic, who was shrouded in this boundary, scanned the light blue boundary and said faintly, "Elena, although I don't know what you're going to tell me next, don't you think your reaction is a little too extreme?"
"This Mensaka Manor is the secret manor of our Church of Storms, and this villa is the core of the manor. It's protected by several spell formations. Under such a security situation, you're still worried that the conversation between you and me, a rank 2 Magus, will be eavesdropped. Looks like the situation here in Flosinone is worse than I thought!"
Hearing Jovic's sigh, a hint of helplessness appeared on Elena's cold and elegant face. She then said, "Jovic, you're right. Although I haven't been in Flosinone for long, I can now deeply feel that the situation here is abnormal. You should have heard that a few days ago, I was in charge, Cristante was in charge of the specific operation, and Andrew, Giovanni, and the others participated in the operation, right?"
"At that time, Cristante and Blake's subordinates used the eye of the storm and some other technical means to lock onto Reyes's two assistants, Bisping and Southgate, hiding in the Akkadian Community in Flosinone City. So in the next hour or so, we quickly sealed off the Akkadian Community and launched an operation to capture Bisping and Southgate."
"But after starting the operation, we found that Bisping and Southgate had already left the Akkadian Community one step ahead of us. The alchemist Southgate even left an alchemy bomb in the Akkadian Community, and Giovanni almost fell for this trick."
"Jovic, you were also a participant in the Loen incident back then. You should know the pervasive intelligence ability of the secret society very well. So this time, Bisping and Southgate were able to escape our capture. We also suspected that there was a traitor among us who tipped off Reyes and the others."
"At present, Cristante has already begun to investigate the people who know about the operation. I believe that Cristante will give us a satisfactory answer soon and find the traitor hiding among us!" A cold glint flashed in Elena's eyes as she clenched her fists and said coldly.
Although Elena said these words while looking at Jovic, unfortunately, Elena did not notice the strange expression on Jovic's face when he heard that there was a traitor among them …
Jovic pondered for a few seconds, as if digesting the information that Elena told him. Then he slowly said, "In addition to catching the traitor, Elena, have you figured out how many helpers Reyes has in Flosinone and how many people the secret society has sent?"
Elena felt a little embarrassed when she heard Reyes's question, but she still answered honestly, "The intelligence work has always been done by Blake's organization. In the past few days, although I have urged Cristante to provide a complete report to me many times, Cristante relied on Archbishop Hummel's support and found all kinds of reasons to comply with my orders. He has always been evasive …"
"In addition, I haven't been in Flosinone for too long, so I'm not very sure how many helpers Reyes has here. But I think that with Reyes's cautious style, Cristante's intelligence gathering work shouldn't be very smooth either," Elena analyzed.
Seeing how honest Elena was, Jovich felt embarrassed to continue asking. He could only nod his head slightly to indicate that he understood.
Just when the two of them were in a deadlock and the atmosphere was a little strange, neither of them knew what to say. Suddenly, Marguerite's expression changed. Her slender hand touched the space ring, and a palm-sized mirror made of light purple crystal appeared. At this moment, the mirror was emitting a faint purple light and looked very magical.
