Chapter 13: The Price of Power

"Yesterday, the police found a large number of prohibited weapons and drugs in a warehouse in the storage center, and arrested 50 suspects with contraband, who stole a large number of valuables that Lord Carmon had purchased three days ago, and put the contraband in the warehouse where Lord Carmon's goods were stored, suspected of trying to blame Lord Carmon for the crime of smuggling contraband. Among the 50 suspects, there is also the manager of the storage center, Raymont, and now, all the suspects have been convicted and imprisoned in the 'Moiron Prison' with life sentences. ”

The headline had already been published in the newspapers in the afternoon, and the radio station had already reported the incident, and it spread throughout the city of Rosafern, and for a time the matter was in an uproar.

And the storage center has now been transferred to the control of the police, and they still have to find the large number of valuables that Carmon bought that were hidden, but in fact they are just in vain, Carmon did not buy any valuable and rare items at all, and the things he bought were originally those so-called prohibited items.

Carmon had long expected that in order to put himself in a desperate situation, Ruijin would definitely exchange his goods for dangerous weapons, but it certainly couldn't be newly developed high-level weapons and equipment, or newly developed poison gas and drugs, it must be some prohibited materials, and some things that are explicitly prohibited from being peddled on the market.

It's just that Camon doesn't have time to care about the news reports now, because he is in great pain now, both hands and feet, there is a violent muscle soreness, but he doesn't dare to go to the hospital, he can only lie on the bed in his own home, his expression is solemn, and he struggles silently in pain.

"Why... Why is there such a sharp pain in my hands, and in my feet? I wasn't attacked. With a spell, Kamon went to the prison of his mind and asked Csumone why

"It's very simple, my power is not something that a mortal body can control, your physique is far from me, when you get my power, you may not feel pain, but once you are disconnected from my power, all the negative effects will follow, even if someone who knows mana uses my power, there will be a little pain reaction, let alone you. ”

"But, what is this negative effect...""It's very simple, when you use my power, the speed of your movement is four times higher than before, which has long exceeded the limit of your legs, and your feet should have had muscle strain, but when you link my power, you don't feel it, but the more times and distance you move quickly, the more violent the strain reaction will be. In the same way, when you attack someone, although a few punches can solve the other person, it is also beyond the quality of your original muscles, making so many movements beyond the limits of your body, losing the connection with my strength, these strains and pains will slowly appear. But don't worry, with the attachment of my strength, you naturally won't faint or die because of the pain, but this pain may last for a long time for the first time, and it will be later... Uh-huh, you'll get used to it. ”

"If I knew this, it would be better to, uh..." "Take your time, don't be in a hurry to recover, but you surprised me, I didn't expect that the first time you used my strength to fight, you could play it so perfectly, whether it was attack frequency, attack power or special aura deterrence, you used it like a skilled warrior." Hey, what's your next plan, you should have it figured out, right?"

"Uh... Huh, of course I think about it, now that the warehouse is controlled by the police, the Ripland Group has a lot of resources for research and development, so their next move is probably to target the waterworks in Samadhi District and make a fuss from there. "Just because they have a laboratory, right next to the waterworks, that's why you think that?"

"No, it's not just that, it's because of the water supply system in the entire city of Rosafern. There are only two waterworks in the city of Rosafern, one in Samadhi District, and the other in Laiin District, and the water plant resources in Laien District link the entire Laien District and the entire Luyusi District, and the waterworks in Samadhi District not only link Samadhi District, but also link Quinn District and Leihan Control Area, once the water of the waterworks in Samadhi District has problems, it will not only affect the citizens of Samadhi District, but also affect the local government, and the military on the other side of the control area. ”

"Oh~ I see, so that the attention of the police will be turned to investigating the people who pollute the water resources, but this is not right, then they will not be easily suspected?" "But you overlooked one thing, and that is their reputation now. "Oh, look at the way you look, and what happens next is going to be more interesting. ”

Knock knock...

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of Carmon's residence, and Carmon could only leave the prison of the mind, endure the pain, pretend to be fine, and get out of bed to answer the door. Who else could find him at this point? Only his fifth brother Prissing.

"I said fifth brother, I didn't..." Carmon just opened the door, and suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, because the person who knocked on the door of Carmon's house this time was not Prisin, nor was it the director of Dinott or anyone from the police station, let alone someone from the city government, but a woman with brown hair tied in a ponytail, glasses and a note, about 1.68 meters beautiful.

Moreover, she had her hands in front of her, clutching the notebook tightly, as if she was nervous. But now, Carmon is at a loss, he doesn't know this woman, why would she find her home?

"Excuse me, are you—" asked Carmon. "That, hello, oh no, hello, Carmon, Lord Carmon. The woman was so nervous that she couldn't even speak, and Carmon shook her head helplessly. "Do you have anything to do with me?"

"That's, that's right. The woman suddenly began to grope herself up and down, Carmon instinctively turned her head, and covered her eyes with her hand, he was not Kuhn, nor because he was not interested in women, but because since the woman in front of him knew his identity, he was afraid that this woman would come here with great intentions, so he could only avoid it as much as possible.

It's just that this time, Carmon was wrong, this woman didn't admire Carmon's status as an earl, she came here to tempt Carmon, she was just looking for her work documents, and because of a moment of nervousness, she forgot where to put it, so she made these moves.

"Well, here's my work card, I'm a reporter for the 'Hamuel News Agency', my name is 'Nishizawa Lal', you can just call me Nishizawa. The woman finally found her work card and showed it to Carmon, who turned around and glanced at it.

"Hamu, I know, the biggest news newspaper in the city. Do you have anything to do with me, Miss Nishizawa?" "Oh, oh, that's right, Lord Carmon, because our newspaper has already reported about your valuables being dropped at the storage center and almost framed, so I would like to interview you as a victim of this incident. Of course, this is voluntary, and if you find it troublesome, I, I can leave now. "If it's just a simple interview, it shouldn't be anything, let's come in first." ”

Carmon let Nishizawa enter his residence first, then looked in the corridor to see if anyone was watching, and then closed the door, after all, Carmon didn't know if Nishizawa was a spy sent by Ruijin to find out his details.

"Thank you for your time, Lord Carmon, and I'm sorry that I have made you feel uncomfortable with the way I behaved just now. Just because, my first interview with an Imperial Count, I was a little nervous. Nishizawa first apologized to Carmon for his gaffe.

"Not necessarily. Carmon replied solemnly, "If you have any questions, just ask, I will have to visit Chairman Ruijin later." ”

"You're going to visit the chairman of the Ripland Group, you know, he's a notorious person, why would you want to make friends with that kind of person?" "To the people, he's a villain, but from the perspective of the whole city, he mentioned the economic strength of the entire city of Rosafern, otherwise, the city wouldn't be so developed, doesn't Miss Nishizawa think so?" "So, that's how you saw the Ripland Group. Looks like I'm in the wrong place today, goodbye, Lord Carmon. ”

Hearing Camun's comment on the Ripland Group, Nishizawa immediately got up and walked towards the door, just as Nishizawa was about to open the door, Camon suddenly smiled, and Nishizawa was suddenly stunned and didn't grab the doorknob.

"You, what are you laughing at?" Nishizawa turned and asked Camon suspiciously, but Camon just smiled and got up, and replied, "Because now, I can confirm that you are not a spy sent by the Ripland Group." ”

Hearing this, Nishizawa also understood what Carmon said before, it was all high-sounding perfunctory words, he didn't really want to praise the Ripland Group, but he had been testing himself whether he was working for the Ripland Group.

Soon, Nishizawa walked back and sat down on the couch across from Carmon.

"Why are you tempting me, Lord Carmon?" asked Nishizawa, "Do you want to be suspicious of a little man like me, or is it because I'm a woman, and you look the other way?"

"The above reasons can be because I have a lot of personal grudges with Ruijin, and he will use any means to deal with me, just like he wants to frame me and make me bear the charge of smuggling contraband. ”

"How do you know it's Ruijin who wants to deal with you and no one else?"

"Miss Nishizawa, what I am telling you now, I hope you will not publish it in the newspaper, after all, there is no evidence, I treat you as a friend, so I said this to you. But of course, you can also publish it, but, the consequences, Miss Nishizawa must know better than me, that you will provoke not only a Count of the Empire, but also the largest institution in the city, the Ripland Group. ”
