Most importantly, the higher-ups had already expressed their dissatisfaction with Blake's Organization and Cristante's recent actions as the Director of Intelligence. They even wanted to transfer Lena from the Loen Church of the Storm's intelligence department to be Blake's assistant. This was a clear warning to Cristante himself. Under such circumstances, if Cristante were to play dirty and cause trouble behind the scenes, there was no doubt that even though Elena would be in trouble, Cristante would undoubtedly be even more unlucky than Elena!
It could even be said that there was a risk that Cristante would be forced to resign. After all, the higher-ups' trust in his abilities had already been shaken. In addition, Cristante had offended many people over the years as the Director of Intelligence for Blake. As the saying goes, everyone kicks a man when he's down. As such, even if Archbishop Humail behind him wanted to step forward to help Cristante, it was very likely that he would be unable to do so even if he wanted to.
Once Cristante lost the protection of his identity as the Director of Intelligence, his enemies inside and outside the Church of the Storm would have a chance to deal with him. No one knew whether Cristante and his family would have a good ending …
In addition, even if Cristante was crazy and wanted to use such a trick to deal with Elena for Humail, Archbishop Humail behind him would probably not support Cristante's idea. Although Blake's position as the Director of Intelligence had yet to step into the center of power in the Church of the Storm, it was still a very sensitive and important position. With someone like Cristante who supported him in this position, it would definitely be a great help to Humail.
With Humail and Elena's current strength and the contrast of power in the Church of the Storm, even if Humail really felt threatened by Elena, he could use other methods to deal with her. There was no need to give up an important helper like Cristante to deal with Elena. After all, although Elena's opponent in the Church of the Storm was Humail, Humail's opponent in the Church of the Storm was not just Elena alone.
After thinking this through, although Elena still maintained a serious expression, her doubts about Cristante in her heart were dispelled.
Cristante saw that Elena did not speak, so he continued, "A group of unknown and powerful mysterious people suddenly attacked secret warehouse No. 3. The guards in charge of the warehouse's security were caught off guard. Although they had already dealt with them according to the security procedures, they still lost more than half of them. They lost the outer area of secret warehouse No. 3, and the remaining people gathered in the core area to fight for their lives."
"Some of the guards in secret warehouse No. 3 are from Blake's Organization. Before they sent out the warning, my people should have passed on the situation of secret warehouse No. 3 to me through a special channel."
"I received the news ten minutes ago. From the description, the other party should have come prepared. Now, all the guards in secret warehouse No. 3 should be dead. Secret warehouse No. 3 and the batch of seafood stored in the warehouse should have all fallen into the hands of the mysterious people, so please don't mobilize any more people to go to secret warehouse No. 3, Your Excellency Elena …"
Although Elena had just heard from Giovanni that secret warehouse No. 3 issued a warning, she was mentally prepared for the outcome of all the guards in secret warehouse No. 3 dying and the batch of seafood in secret warehouse No. 3 falling into the hands of others. However, she still had a glimmer of hope and prayed for the blessings of the Storm Goddess, hoping that a miracle would happen. But now, with Cristante's admission, the last glimmer of hope in Elena's heart was undoubtedly shattered.
After pondering carefully for a while, Elena's expression changed. She asked Cristante tentatively, "Are you worried that the people who attacked secret warehouse No. 3 are trying to lure us away?"
"The attack on secret warehouse No. 3 this time was an unexpected incident. It happened too quickly. Before this, my informants in the secret society and other dark wizard organizations did not receive any relevant information. The Eye of the Storm device we set up in Flosinone also did not detect anything suspicious."
"So, I still can't be sure who attacked secret warehouse No. 3. Their goal is the batch of seafood in secret warehouse No. 3, or something else. So, in short, it's better to be careful now. The attack on secret warehouse No. 3 is a fait accompli, and it can't be changed, but we can't have any other losses …" Cristante said in a deep voice.
Although Cristante's tone and voice sounded the same as usual, for some reason, Elena could feel his deep fatigue and helplessness from his voice. Obviously, for this head of intelligence of the Church of the Storm, encountering such an unexpected attack when his position was in danger was also a deep blow to him. It made him feel a lot of frustration in his heart.
"In Flosinone, other than the secret society and Reyes, who else would have the guts and ability to attack secret warehouse No. 3?" Elena sneered.
"Right now, I can't be sure that Reyes and the secret society did this. From the information my informants in secret warehouse No. 3 sent me, although the people who attacked secret warehouse No. 3 were well-trained and powerful, they were only led by a level-1 wizard. The rest of them were only apprentices!"
"This time, after the higher-ups gave the order, Blake's Organization paid great attention to Flosinone's matter. As early as a year ago, we started to make arrangements and used some of our informants in the secret society, as well as some dark wizard organizations related to the secret society. We asked them to keep an eye on the secret society's movements."
"From the feedback we received from various channels, we can be sure that Reyes mobilized people to work for Flosinone. However, the people he mobilized were all official wizards like Bisping and Southgate. From the information we collected so far, there were no signs of Reyes mobilizing apprentices to Flosinone!" Cristante reported to Elena in a deep voice.
