Chapter 369: The Mastermind
At dawn, Lyon finally left safely.
He left dejectedly with a "Turing" agreement.
As for the content of the agreement, refer to the Treaty of Versailles.
He himself did not expect that he had paid two million just to "play" with a maid of the Lawson family.
This is probably the most expensive woman in the world!
As soon as Lyon left, Ethan was about to go out to see Anna.
When he arrived, he found that Anna was still kneeling on the street motionless.
I don't know what method Sophia used, but Anna knelt quietly all night.
It feels like an illusion, but it doesn't seem like it.
Because the illusion is just that the person does not move, but the breath is at least normal, but Anna seems to have no breath, but her heart is still beating, a kind of vegetative vision.
"Master, this is the effect of the void fire. It should be Miss Sophia's apostle, who used the void fire to seal Anna's body and consciousness." Kyle's voice sounded in Ethan's ears.
"So that's how it is. I didn't expect the Void Fire to be so powerful that it can actually seal people's consciousness."
"Yes, Master! There are many kinds of Void Fire, which can not only seal others, but also save people.
Master, do you remember the [Tranquility] used by the [God of Fire] before?
Those silver light spots are actually Void Fire.
They can eliminate disasters and purify will, and they are already in the category of sacred power." Kyle added.
Ethan couldn't help smacking his lips when he heard this.
Suddenly, he thought of a possibility, so he asked: "You said that Apostle Sophia's Void Fire, can my Sword Saint learn it?"
"Of course!" Kyle said affirmatively: "Although its Void Fire is a natural ability, it does not belong to the power of rules, and it is an active attack skill. As long as the master blocks it, he can learn it."
Ethan was happy when he heard it, and decided to take this skill another day.
Using it to deal with disobedient people is much more useful than illusion.
Of course, there will be time for this later, but now we still have to solve Anna's problem first.
"You should be able to get rid of this state!"
As soon as Ethan finished speaking, Kyle showed up and slashed at Anna with his red and white swords.
Not long after, Anna woke up slowly.
When she found that she was fine, Anna was stunned for a long time.
Until she confirmed that she was fine, after a burst of joy, her eyes were confused again.
At this time, she looked around and found that Ethan was staring at her helplessly.
In an instant, she understood what happened.
"Miss didn't kill me?"
Isn't this nonsense!
Ethan shook his head gently, and then said to Anna: "Get in the car with me!"
After that, he turned around and went to the carriage.
Anna hesitated for a while, but still followed.
After entering the carriage, Ethan didn't say much nonsense and said directly: "I have reached a settlement with Leon. You can now go with him freely. We won't stop you."
Anna listened and smiled bitterly.
"I'm no longer useful, so why would he want me?"
"Oh! You can see it clearly!" Ethan laughed: "So..."
Ethan wanted to make a joke, but suddenly felt that there was no need to attack Anna, so he changed his words: "So, what are your plans now?"
Anna lowered her head and said nothing.
Ethan saw her dejected look and sighed: "No idea, right!
Then you can go to my Bertner Manor to work!
It just so happens that I'm still short of a housekeeper, you can take care of those servants for me."
Hearing this, Anna raised her head with red eyes and looked at Ethan.
She knew that Ethan didn't lack a housekeeper at all, and he said this just to give her a chance.
Anna wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it, so she could only keep her head down and said nothing.
Ethan continued, "I know you are not satisfied. How about this! Come to work for me, and you can continue to pass on information to Leon.
This way you will be valuable.
Of course, you can tell Leon about my affairs and my information.
But please don't bring up my family.
For example, don't talk about Angelina and Sofia."
Anna was a little shocked: "Why did you help me?"
"You should thank you for your hard work in the past.
You have known me for so long, you should know that I am such a person.
I value feelings very much. Others respect me, and I respect others.
Others have helped me, and I will help others." Ethan pursed his lips and said.
"Aren't you afraid that Leon will retaliate against you?"
Ethan spread his hands: "To be honest, if Leon was barefoot, I would be a little scared.
However, he is also from a wealthy family, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
If he is stronger than me, I will surrender to him without complaint.
This is the true face of the world.
I like rules more and more now, they are really good things.
Although sometimes rules make people unhappy, but only sometimes.
Most of the time, rules bring happiness and security!"
...
Anna finally chose to stay with Ethan to work, because she needed this identity to get close to Leon, she couldn't lose him.
Ethan originally wanted to send Anna to Bertner Manor in person, after all, he needed to introduce Anna to the servants.
However, he met Earl Charlton of the Casillas family on the way.
It can't be said that they met, it should be said that Charlton came to find him specifically.
Therefore, Kyle had to do the job of sending Anna.
And Ethan himself got on Charlton's carriage.
Because Ethan left the banquet last night temporarily and left in a hurry, the key is that he was still the host. This unusual behavior naturally made Charlton guess something.
So he ran to Ethan early in the morning to find out the situation.
I saw that his eyes were dark, obviously he didn't sleep well last night.
However, he didn't care about these.
As soon as he saw Ethan get in the car, he hurriedly asked: "Sir, the Great Sword Saint, did you catch that man?"
Ethan stroked his forehead with one hand and shook his head: "No!"
"Then Sir Ethan, what happened last night?" Charlton asked.
Ethan didn't know how to answer.
It is obviously impossible to talk about catching an insider.
If you say it, it means admitting that it was your own mistake that led to the death of the other party's brother.
Even if the two are not necessarily related, people will definitely count the two things together.
So the insider's affairs must not be told.
And the affairs of Lyon must not be told either.
After all, Lyon's sneak attack on the Holy Light Church is also a benefit for everyone, so he must be kept secret no matter what.
Since it must be kept secret, the fewer people who know it, the better.
Otherwise, some fool who can't keep his mouth shut will reveal the news to the Holy Light Church.
Then not only Lyon will be in trouble, but the parliament will also be in trouble.
This can't be said, and that can't be said. After thinking about it, Ethan said half-truthfully: "Last night, a guy sneaked into my Turing Manor and killed a servant.
When I caught him, he burned himself."
Charlton narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and looked at Ethan's expression carefully, trying to tell whether this was true or false.
But after observing for a long time, he didn't see any clues.
So he could only ask: "Do you know who did it?"
"It's probably the Iris Society." Ethan replied expressionlessly.
Seeing that Ethan directly identified the Iris Society, Charlton frowned: "Since there are no witnesses and evidence, why can't it be the Duke's Mansion?
In terms of the situation, I think they are more likely."
"In fact, I also thought it was them at the beginning, so I have been keeping a close eye on their movements."
At this point, Ethan spread his hands: "However, the trap set for them did not work, and the intelligence personnel I arranged did not find any unusual movements from them.
I believe my people will not make mistakes, so using the method of elimination, it can only be done by the Iris Society."
Charlton leaned back in his chair weakly after hearing this, then licked his lips and said: "In this case, I will also take revenge."
"Revenge?" Ethan smiled bitterly: "There are so many people in Iris, you don't even have a target, how can you take revenge?
If you catch someone for revenge, the consequence will be a full-scale war, and no one will benefit at that time."
"It's still necessary to see, this can only be done by the Arthur family where Yellen is.
There is no other way except them." Charlton gritted his teeth and said.
"Do you have evidence?"
"Do you need evidence? Suspicion is enough!"
"Don't do that!" Ethan stopped him, "We are in the open, and that person is in the dark.
If we go to war without evidence, and it turns out that it's not them, we will drag ourselves into the quagmire.
This is still secondary. The most terrible thing is that if it's not the Arthur family who did it, we will go to war with the Iris Society again.
It is very likely that this is the result that the real person behind the scenes wants to see.
We can't let people die and be used as guns by others!"
Hearing this, Charlton calmed down.
"Then what do you say we should do?"
"Give me some more time, I will go to confirm whether it is them who did it."
