Dawn, the imperial capital.

A slow-passing, shabby-looking taxi drove alongside the street, and the driver in the blue hat looked out from time to time, as if he wanted to attract customers and complete his first business of the day.

Unfortunately, perhaps because the car was so worn out that even the exterior paint was scraped into a mess, and after driving around the street, the driver did not find any customers willing to patronize him, so he could only leave disappointed.

However, if you can see the back compartment of the taxi, you will find that it is not as shabby as you imagined, but looks unusually clean, and even a little luxurious, a middle-aged man with thick hair and sharp eyes is staring at the driver's back.

The man had a typical federal face, but his jaw and cheeks were shaved with blue stubble, compared to the driver who was driving in front of him who was much more unkempt, with a messy beard and sunken eyes, which looked extremely depressed.

If Adrien or Adolphus saw this man, they might have some impressions, because this is the well-known detective in the imperial capital who used Luen as the lottery leader to compete for the post and compete for the head of the blood clan - Moriarty!

But that's all before.

Due to the reason of Lune's word, this real Moriarty did not defeat the one that Nimes pretended, so that Adrien successfully won, as the winner, Adrien generously handed over Moriarty and others directly to Adolf to deal with.

To be honest, Moriarty has encountered countless dangers in his life, but there are only a handful of dangers as bizarre, absurd and deadly as this one.

He originally thought that he was dead, just like the ending he had imagined countless times, quietly dying somewhere, and then being randomly dug and buried, and there was no trace of this person in the world.

This result has caused him to wake up in nightmares countless times, unable to sleep, and knows that if he continues like this, such an outcome is almost inevitable.

However, every time he encounters a new event, he always puts his worries behind him in an instant, as if deep in his genes, there is a hidden element of desire for adventure, which even he can't control.

Yet he did not die, or rather life was worse than death.

Adolf didn't kill him, but the result was even worse than killing him, his signboard was smashed, the detective agency was banned, the distribution was banned, and even his family, friends, and classmates were warned and threatened.

Adolf is angry with Moriarty, although he knows that it is not his fault, but man is not an absolutely rational creature after all, he knows what Moriarty cares about, so he destroys something, which is more cruel than killing him, the so-called murderous heart, but that's it.

For Adolf, this was just a momentary anger and was soon left behind, but for Moriarty, his life was completely ruined, everyone avoided him, even the beloved woman Jona, was forced to leave him because of all kinds of pressure.

After all, Jona also has parents, relatives and friends, and everyone cannot exist in isolation in this society.

Except for Moriarty.

Although he is alive, in the eyes of everyone, he seems to be a dead man, a living corpse, or a walking corpse.

Moriarty tried to resist, and even retaliate, but the more he investigated, the more desperate he became.

What he is fighting against is not a person, a person with great energy and means to the sky, but an interest group with great energy and means to the sky, around Adolf's blood clan, any member of the blood clan can easily crush it if he stretches out his finger, there is no difficulty.

And the reason why he is still alive is entirely because Adolf has already ...... him Forgot.

Moriarty is a proud man, and even wrote in a book that 90% of the people in the world, in his opinion, are as intelligent as monkeys in a tree, how can they endure this humiliation.

But he didn't have the slightest remark, having lived in the imperial capital for so many years, he knew the nature of the Federation, even if he collected all the evidence of Adolf's crimes and put it on the president's table, the president would treat it as if nothing had happened.

In this world, things are never as simple as black and white, and justice may not necessarily triumph over evil, this truth, Moriarty has long understood.

However, he did not give up, to be able to become a well-known detective, perseverance is indispensable, and he has always been secretly looking for a way to deal with Adolf, and in the process of investigation, he gradually discovered the existence of the blood clan.

Then he was approached at the door.

Of course, not to kill him, otherwise he would have died by now, but to cooperate with him.

Naturally, this collaborator who came to the door was the middle-aged man sitting behind him, named Gomez, the owner of a large wine estate in the northern part of the Federation, but secretly, he also had another identity, just after the promotion ceremony, he joined the new member of the blood family.

Although in the eyes of ordinary people, Gomez is already a rare big man, but in the blood clan, he is almost at the bottom of the existence, richer than him, powerful, powerful people abound, if Adrien and Adolf are flowers, then he is not even qualified to be a green leaf, at best it can only be regarded as a thorn.

But a thorn in the eye, too, is ambitious.

The appearance of Lune, as well as the earth-shaking reform for the blood clan, made Gomez smell the smell of opportunity, and even more so, in Luen's body, he felt the charm of power.

What money, what rights, all are not as direct as the naked power, what about the money and power, these blood clans united, they can even lift the federal president down, but they have to kneel in front of the master, it is not as good as a favored dog!

During the hours of kneeling outside with everyone, others were either afraid or apprehensive in their hearts, but in Gomez's heart, it seemed to understand the true nature of this world!

He wants to get great power, he wants to get the favor of the Lord, and he wants to get the position of Earl of the Blood Clan promised by the Lord!

But he himself does not belong to the circle of the imperial capital, and in both camps, they both belong to shrimp-level characters, to put it mildly, no one wants to play with him, let alone swallow all the fruits of victory, so he can only find another way.

Before that, Moriarty was the most prestigious detective in the imperial capital, no matter how difficult and unsolvable the case was, he was able to solve it in his hands, and he also helped Gomez solve some troubles, so he clearly knew Moriarty's ability.

One wants revenge, while the other is ambitious, and the two hit it off, and even in order to win over Moriarty, Gomez revealed some secrets about the Bloodline to him.

A common enemy can unite people, but a common interest can make people forget about life.

The temptation of immortality, who in this world can resist it?
