Chapter 366: No surprises

Ethan grabbed the back collar of a man in black robe with one hand and dragged him slowly down the street.

When he saw Anna kneeling on the street with Fool, he couldn't help but frown.

After staring for a while, he gently patted Anna's face, trying to wake her up.

But seeing no response, he had to give up and continue moving around Anna.

Before they reached Sofia's carriage, Volibear saw that Ethan had something in his hands and hurried over to take over.

After Ethan handed the man over to Volibear, he got on the carriage.

Originally, Ethan wanted to ask Anna what was wrong, but when he saw Sophia leaning on the chair with blank eyes, he had no words to say after all.

Ethan held Sophia in his arms, then knocked on the car door and asked the carriage to start back to the manor.

On the way, Sofia suddenly hugged Ethan tightly and started sobbing. This shocked Ethan and he quickly stroked her back to comfort her.

"Okay, Sofia, it's okay, everything is over."

Sofia stopped crying, raised her head, and stared at Ethan with red eyes.

“Before I came here, I had already thought about taking action.

However, I took action.

But when I think of her betrayal, my heart can't help but ache. "

Ethan didn't know how to comfort Sophia, so he could only gently hold her in his arms and give her a place to rely on.

Unknowingly, the carriage arrived at the manor.

When Sophia saw the carriage stop, she immediately wiped away her tears and straightened her clothes that were wet with tears.

In a blink of an eye, he returned to his normal expression, then got out of the carriage as if nothing had happened and walked straight towards the study.

Ethan clicked his tongue when he saw this scene, and then followed with the man in black robe.

Arriving at the study, Sophia looked at the man in black robe carefully, and then said with a cold expression:

"The Duke of Lyon is really flexible and capable. He went out to deceive a maid himself. He is really capable."

Yes, the man in black robe is Leon.

Although Ethan had already listed Leon as a target of suspicion, he still felt surprised when he confirmed it was him with his own eyes.

Because when the Holy Light Church territory was attacked before, he had asked Leon if he was the one who did it.

Leon gave a clear negative answer, and Catherine also confirmed that he was not lying.

But just now, I saw with my own eyes that Leon used the kind of spatial anchor that is invisible to the naked eye in the territory of the Holy Light Cult.

It turns out that the spatial anchor point is not used for positioning, but is used like a hook.

The white glove on Leon's hand can emit an invisible thread similar to spider silk.

The ends of the lines are the spatial anchor points.

And with this, he can move at sharp angles in the air at will, just like Spider-Man, and at extremely fast speeds.

There is also that invisible line, I don’t know what it is, but it can actually split the space.

When they first blocked him in the basement, he was suspended in mid-air like a ghost. Then he moved back a few times and silently cracked the surrounding space.

Fortunately, it was him who he met. If it were anyone else, he would have been lying on the floor the moment the space split.

Thinking of this, Ethan took out the white glove from his coat pocket and threw it on the desk.

"Sofia, do you recognize this?"

Sofia sat listlessly in a chair, lost in thought.

After hearing what Ethan said, he glanced at the gloves and shook his head.

Then she glanced at Leon lying on the ground and frowned,

Knowing that the other party was awake, he stood up and left without saying a word.

Ethan sent Sophia back to her room first, covered her with a quilt, and then returned to the study.

It turned out that Leon was still lying on the ground motionless.

"Your Majesty, it's time to get up."

Of course Ethan also knew that Leon was awake, but he liked to pretend, so he could only tease Leon on the ground.

"This floor is very cool. I want to lie down for a while, but it seems that the Great Sword Master doesn't agree."

Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Leon simply stopped pretending and got up from the floor.

He rubbed his shoulders and moved his body again. Although he was in danger, he didn't care at all. He even had a bit of a playful smile.

"Your Majesty the Great Sword Master, no matter what, I am also a Duke and the nominal master of Maro City.

Even if you hurt me, you just drag me along the street like a piece of cargo.

If outsiders see it, how do you want me to behave in the future? "

Ethan smiled: "Are you still worried about this after talking about it?"

"You didn't kill me then, that proves that nothing will happen to me!" Leon also smiled: "In fact, it's lucky that you didn't kill me, otherwise you would have lost a sincere ally."

"Allies?" Ethan was a bit dumbfounded: "You have made me so anxious, how dare you call me an ally?"

"Of course I am your ally." Leon said with an innocent face: "It was me who decisively took action in your confrontation with the Holy Light Cult, which established your current position of being the one-and-done in Maro City."

"But you also assassinated the congressman who supported me the most." Ethan said angrily: "You even did it yourself and put a nail in my heart."

When he heard the word "nail", Leon's face looked a little unnatural.

However, he immediately returned to normal, and then replied solemnly: "I accept the Holy Light Sect's affairs.

If you want to say Anna is a nail, I agree.

But let me tell you, those two idiots were not done by me. "

"He didn't lie." Catherine's voice sounded in Ethan's ear at the right time.

But Ethan didn't believe it at all. Leon was able to escape Catherine's test before, and he can still do it now.

"Do you think I will believe your lies?"

Lyon laughed: "It doesn't matter whether you believe me or not, but please don't insult me.

If it were me, I would either do nothing or solve it all at once.

Instead of targeting two unlucky guys who are insignificant.

Think about it, killing those two idiots will not only disgust you, but also attract your attention. Am I so stupid in your eyes?"

Hearing this, Ethan suddenly remembered that Lyon had been playing crazy for more than ten years for the position of Duke.

With his forbearing temperament, there is really no reason and it is impossible for him to do such a thing that will cause trouble.

If it's not him, who else could it be?

Also, how did he avoid Catherine's detection?

"What method did you use to lie before?" Ethan still asked the doubts in his heart.

Lyon spread his hands and shrugged: "A little toy left by my ancestors. The me you saw that day was actually just a memory fragment.

You can understand it as me before the incident."

Ethan's mouth twitched when he heard this.

It feels like being fooled.

But it is understandable. After all, there is no need for Leon to leave evidence to outsiders for such a big thing as attacking the Holy Light Church.

And the memory fragment he mentioned is indeed possible.

After all, I have seen exactly the same thing in the underground corridor of the Duke's Mansion.

But then again, if what Leon said is true, from a certain perspective, he did a great favor by attacking the Holy Light Church.

The key is that he does not ask for anything in return.

Why is that?

Thinking of this, Ethan slowly said: "You'd better reproduce that memory fragment once."

"Of course no problem." Leon smiled and replied.

At the same time, he was relieved, because since Ethan wanted to reproduce that treasure, it proved that his life was saved...
