"Top secret!"
This was the first thing Connor saw when he opened the document in Kaman language!
If Connor remembered correctly, the information he knew about the Church of the Storm was divided into four levels — Level 3 Secret, Level 2 Secret, Level 1 Secret, and Top Secret. As for whether there were higher levels above Top Secret, Connor had no idea!
However, this level of confidentiality was definitely not low. In the Loen Church of Storms, only about ten or so members of the upper echelons had the right to come into contact with it. Clearly, this piece of information that indicated a level of confidentiality indirectly confirmed Connor's guess about Mr. Emory.
As he continued reading, Connor became more and more alarmed.
According to the information, the Church of the Storm's spies had targeted Mr. Emory about three years ago. As for why, it was because there was news that he was conspiring with the Valencia Chamber of Commerce to monopolize the market for a herb known as purple chrysanthemum.
Connor had some impression of this herb. It wasn't very valuable, but it was very rare. It was mainly used to treat liver diseases. In addition, purple chrysanthemum could also be used in ordinary magical medicine.
In the beginning, the Church of the Storm noticed that Emory and the Valencia Chamber of Commerce were conspiring to monopolize the purple chrysanthemum herb market. They only thought that they were trying to make money, so they didn't pay too much attention to it. But in the following year, the supply of purple chrysanthemum in Loen and the surrounding areas silently decreased by more than 30%. This anomaly once again attracted the Church of the Storm's attention. They began to use their intelligence network to discover that the reason for this situation was Emory and the Valencia Chamber of Commerce's doing!
At this moment, the person in charge of the Church of the Storm's intelligence agency in Loen was named Paquetta. According to the information, after discovering this situation, Paquetta was also very curious as to what tricks the Valencia Chamber of Commerce and Mr. Emory were up to. Therefore, he arranged for a few of his informants to stay by Emory's side.
But just a month later, these informants died due to various accidents such as car accidents or choking to death while eating. And at the same time, the supply of purple chrysanthemum in Loen returned to normal. The 30% decrease in supply also appeared on the market once again.
Obviously, something was wrong. But at this time, Mr. Paquetta, the head of the intelligence agency, stopped the investigation on Emory. However, there was no record of the reason why the investigation was stopped.
But three months ago, the head of the Church of the Storm's Loen Intelligence Agency, Paquita, had restarted his investigation of Mr. Emory for some unknown reason. This time, their investigation was deeper and more discreet. They discovered an extremely shocking secret. Mr. Emory, who had always appeared as an ordinary person in the eyes of the world, was actually a Grand Knight with extremely powerful strength!
Mister Emmery was not only a Grand Knight himself, but he also secretly had more than ten Knights as his subordinates. Some of these Knights were wanted criminals by the Empire!
If that was the case, then it would at most be a story of an unscrupulous businessman who secretly harbored thugs and used force to dominate the market to promote his own business development.
However, there was another suspicious point. The Church of the Storm had secretly investigated all of Mr. Emory and the Kroenke family's companies and consortiums. They discovered that there were some black marks in all of their business activities. They weren't very clean, but there had never been any sign of Mr. Emory's Knights.
The written records of the information ended there. However, there was also a map attached to the information. It was the floor plan of the Cloned Manor in the outskirts of Loen's eastern suburbs where Mr. Emory was currently living. It recorded the functions of the various buildings in the manor in detail.
After returning to his apartment, Connor lay on the sofa and began recalling the information the Church of the Storm had on Emory.
The information mentioned the Valencia Chamber of Commerce, an important economic organization in Loen. Connor had evidence to believe that this chamber of commerce was related to the Secret Society. Now that Mr. Emory was working with the Valencia Chamber of Commerce, did that mean that Mr. Emory was also related to the Secret Society?
As for why Paquetta had stopped investigating Emory three years ago when it was obvious that there was something wrong with him, Connor felt that it was very likely that someone in the Church of the Storm had greeted Paquetta. Furthermore, this person's position in the Church of the Storm was definitely not low. At the very least, it was on par with Paquetta! It was very likely that this person's position was even higher than Paquetta's. Otherwise, as an officer of the Loen Church of the Storm's intelligence agency, there was no need for him to listen to this person!
"A.I. Chip, search the database for all information regarding Purple Chrysanthemum!" Connor ordered silently in the letter. For some reason, his intuition told him that the Valencia Chamber of Commerce, which was related to the Secret Society, and Mr. Emory's collusion was definitely not simple!
[Beep! Purple Chrysanthemum is a rare herb that grows deep in the mountains. It has the effect of clearing away internal heat and eliminating liver toxins. It's mainly used to treat liver diseases. It's also one of the supplementary ingredients for a potion called Spirit Eye Liquid!] The A.I. Chip's cold goddess immediately gave Connor a reply.
"What's Spirit Eye Liquid?" Connor asked again.
"According to the 'Detailed Explanation of Common Potions' in the main body's database, Spirit Eye Liquid is a low-grade magic potion. Its effect is to allow ordinary people to temporarily increase their spiritual perception after consumption, allowing them to see vengeful spirits and other spirits with their eyes!"
"Vengeful spirits?"
Connor seemed to have thought of something as his eyes widened!
Connor's palm brushed across the space ring, and a small paper bag appeared in his hand. He carefully opened the paper bag, and a tiny dark red crystal appeared in front of Connor's eyes.
Connor couldn't help but squint his eyes when he sensed the cold vengeful aura emitted by this little thing. Although he still couldn't prove whether Purple Chrysanthemum was related to vengeful spirits and vengeful spirits, if that was really the case …
Safe house, Purple Chrysanthemum, a crystal that contained vengeful aura similar to a magic crystal, and the Valencia Chamber of Commerce. From these clues, Connor felt an invisible chain that linked everything together.
"Mr. Emory, regardless of whether you're a human or a ghost, it seems like I'll have to meet you!" Looking at the floor plan of the cloned manor on the table, Connor's eyes flashed with excitement.
