Chapter 270 Which sentence is true?
Chapter 270 Which one is true?
The Scale Gold Sect seems to be a bit too active recently...
After reading the results of the investigation by Jerry's "friends" on the table, the red-haired director's fox eyes narrowed slightly. He then bent his knuckles and tapped the table thoughtfully.
Previously, the toad forced its way across the border and landed in the shopping mall of Charles Department Store, almost causing large-scale casualties. Later, it hooked up with several noble families headed by Rose Massenei, and gathered a lot of believers among the nobles of the kingdom. The actions of the Scales of Gold Cult in the past two months have gone a bit over the line.
I should have taken action immediately and driven out all these rats in the gutter, but I was delayed by the matter of Director Aquarius. I was busy investigating Director Aquarius with Beverly and never got around to doing the liquidation.
And his "weak" behavior seemed to have sent the wrong signal to the people of the Hyōjin Cult, causing them to misjudge his tolerance and actually hold a rally in the capital...
It seems like we have to deal a ruthless blow to teach the people of the Chengjin Sect a lesson!
After determining his next attitude towards the Cult of the Golden Cult, the red-haired director stopped his usual thinking movements and looked up at Emma in front of him.
“Emma, what do you think of the news that Leon found out?”
"..."
"Emma?"
"Um... sorry, I was a little distracted just now."
Hearing the red-haired chief's puzzled call, Emma came back to her senses and smiled apologetically, then asked with a normal expression:
“Chief, what did you say happened to Leon?”
"..."
Why do I feel like there has been something strange going on since you sent Lyon back yesterday?
"I'm not talking about what happened to Leon. I'm asking what you think about the news of the rally that Leon brought."
The red-haired director looked at Emma suspiciously, but didn't find anything special. He put aside his suspicion for the time being and continued to explain:
"Before, Leon accepted the mission to rescue people at Rose Manor. There, he met the bishop of the Fortune-making branch of the Scales of Gold Cult. He learned that the Scales of Gold Cult was preparing for a rally. Then he threatened the people of the Masainie family that they must notify him immediately after hearing the news of the Scales of Gold Cult's rally.
This morning, someone from the Masaini family came and said that the Cult of the Golden Scale would hold a gathering in three days, and the location would be on Redwood Avenue in the capital. To be specific, it should be in the basement of the Masaini family's Rose Manor."
After briefly explaining the cause and effect, the red-haired director began to express his thoughts.
"Compared to other secret sects, the Scales of Gold is the least dangerous, but they have been acting unruly recently. Not only did they choose to hold their meeting in the capital, but they also sent three bishops at once. So I want you to go there and make them behave for a while."
"Ok."
After accepting the task without hesitation, Emma glanced at the report on the table and asked:
"To what extent do we need to achieve this? Completely wipe them out? Or just capture those three bishops?"
"As for the degree..."
Hearing Emma's question, the red-haired director thought for a moment, then said firmly:
“Why don’t you bring the [Judgment Coffin] with you this time and see what’s going on with those people from the Chengjin Cult.
If the harm is relatively minor, then you can be gentler. After all, the teachings of the Scales of Gold Cult are not particularly extreme, and many people join just to restore their limbs or regain their sight. There is no need to be too drastic.
As for those cat believers who bring wealth, and snake believers who eat wealth, as long as their sins are not serious, just scare them and then expel them, so as to prevent these people from gathering together to do evil.
But if the ones who come are from the Tucai lineage, those Toad believers who are responsible for purchasing "exchanges" such as limbs, health, and happiness, and the [Judgment Coffin] also reacts, then kill them all, leaving no one behind."
"understood."
After listening carefully to the red-haired chief's instructions and writing down the mission objectives, Emma nodded slightly and stood up to leave, but was stopped by the red-haired chief.
"Emma, did something happen yesterday?"
"Huh? Why do you ask?"
"Because I feel like something is wrong with you today."
After looking back in surprise, she looked at her best friend with a puzzled look. The red-haired director narrowed his eyes slightly and said with certainty:
“Emma, tell me the truth. Something else must have happened after you sent Leon back yesterday. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been distracted so suddenly… He wouldn’t have touched you, right?”
"How is that possible?" Emma couldn't help but laugh when she heard this:
“What are you thinking about? Leon is not that kind of person. I was distracted because I was thinking about other things. It has nothing to do with him.”
"All right……"
Although he still felt something was wrong, Emma's expression was completely normal, and there was nothing wrong with it. The red-haired director had to put this idea aside for the time being, and then asked with concern:
"Emma, how are you doing lately?"
"good."
"Have you recovered from the wound caused by the blood-drinking swordfish during the mission at Ryan Harbor?"
"It's been long gone."
"The [Judgment Coffin] consumes so much energy, can your body still hold up?"
"no problem."
“Leon really didn’t harass you yesterday?”
"Really not..."
Looking at the red-haired director who suddenly asked again amidst a few words of concern, Emma couldn't help but said helplessly:
"Olivia, if you do this again, I'm going to be really angry."
"Okay, okay, okay, can I stop asking?"
After a sullen sigh, the red-haired director curled his lips and said:
“In any case, you should be careful. When people are drunk, their self-control decreases, and they often reveal the thoughts they have been suppressing... Anyway, Leon is not as honest as he looks. I think he must have some thoughts about you. Don’t let him...”
"Olivia!"
"Okay, okay, I won't say any more. I really won't say any more this time!"
After raising his hands in surrender at Emma's slightly annoyed gaze and watching her leave obediently, the red-haired director stared at Emma's back. Looking at the four marks on her back, one red and three black, he couldn't help but frown and began to think.
I asked Emma four questions, and her answers were one false and three true…So did Leon harass her yesterday?
……
"Ah!"
"I told you to wear more clothes. You might catch a cold!"
After glaring at Leon who looked very "thin" for wearing autumn clothes in winter, Anna took out the scarf she had prepared long ago and handed it to Leon who was sneezing repeatedly, and also took out a pair of gloves from her bag.
"Put it on quickly, you must show off!"
"I'm not trying to be brave, I really am not cold...Okay, I'll put it on."
"Yes, yes, you're not cold...put on your gloves too!"
"Oh……"
Rubbing his nose which kept itching suddenly, Leon, whose family status had plummeted after being discovered for "trying to be unfaithful", had no choice but to accept the scarf and gloves and put them on obediently under the glare of his sister.
But to be honest, although the enhancement brought by the 5-point immersion value has made me immune to cold and heat, after putting on a scarf and gloves to block the cold wind that blows straight into my neck and cuffs, I really feel a lot more comfortable.
"Stand still, don't move."
After standing on tiptoe to straighten the scarf around Leon's neck and blocking the last place where wind was blowing in, Anna couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, then reached out and held Leon's arm.
"Let's go. It's rare that you're free today. It's a good opportunity to go to the parent-teacher meeting for Melanie and the others!"
