Chapter 498: Aftermath of Death
"Leon is dead?!" When he heard the news, Leo couldn't hide the shocked look on his face. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The second adjudicator stood right in front of Leo, and it was the Sanctuary Assassin who had been ordered to lurk near the Ice Bear family mansion to observe, keenly spotting the small chaos that had suddenly appeared in the mansion, and took the opportunity to infiltrate the mansion and successfully bring back this top-secret information.
"Another person died." Bela on the side sighed lightly, and then looked at Leo with some curiosity: "You seem to be surprised by this person's death." ”
The reason why Bella reacted this way was not because of how cold the girl's heart was, but because at least a hundred news of death had come in that night, and both Leo and Bella had become a little numb to it.
Leo nodded, his expression a little solemn: "Something is wrong, how could he die?" ”
To be honest, Leon's death shook Leo even more violently than the death of the Grand Prince Emmanuel.
You must know that Leon is the heir of the Ice Giant Bear family established and announced to the world, although the current importance is obviously not as important as his father Prime Minister Paul, but from the perspective of the future, Leon is definitely the most important core figure of the Ice Giant Bear family, there is no one.
But such a person died inexplicably, and he died in the base camp of the Ice Bear family, under the nose of Prime Minister Paul.
"There must be something in this that I don't know!" Leo made a judgment in an instant, and he couldn't help but think in his mind: "Could it be that Prime Minister Paul found out about Leon's betrayal?" ”
Leo immediately rejected this judgment.
Even if Prime Minister Paul finds out about Leon's betrayal, he can imprison Leon first and slowly persuade him to change his mind, or directly depose Leon as the heir, and even use Leon to pass on some false news to the eldest princess's side.
No matter which of the above methods is, it is dozens of times stronger than killing one's own son and heir at such a sensitive moment and causing one's own side to mess with itself, and it is impossible for an old political fox like Prime Minister Paul to make such a mistake.
"The man must not have been killed by Prime Minister Paul."
But if it weren't for Prime Minister Paul's order, who would have been able to kill Leon in the Ice Bear Mansion, which was so heavily guarded that even an experienced Sanctuary assassin like Adjudicator No. 2 could infiltrate, and still be able to get away with it?
The aura of conspiracy was so strong and even within reach that Leo suddenly had a premonition in his heart that as long as he found out the true identity of Leon's murderer, he might be able to solve the mystery behind all this, and even completely seize the initiative in the entire succession chaos and help his side win a big victory.
A flash of light flashed through Leo's mind.
"There must be another force or someone who is not under the control of Prime Minister Paul and can freely enter and exit the Ice Bear family's mansion! In other words, there is a good chance that this man was some of Prime Minister Paul's secret allies! ”
"And it is very likely that Leon was killed because he discovered the identity of this secret ally! It seems that the identity of this secret ally must be very important, and it is even very likely that it belongs to the kind that can affect the whole situation! ”
"I must find out the identity of this secret ally! Who is he? Leo frowned and began to meditate.
To be honest, Leo's conjecture was completely different from the facts, but it was this conjecture full of errors and omissions that led Leo to the correct result.
All roads lead to Rome. Sometimes, it's not just the so-called "only right" path that will get you to the final destination.
***************************
The Mansion of the Ice Bear.
"Bang!" Prime Minister Paul's hand slammed down on the table, and the flask and goblet on the table were shaken up and then shattered to the ground.
"I need an explanation!" Prime Minister Paul gritted his teeth and stared at the "second prince" Cleverley in front of him, his eyes full of murderous intent that could not be concealed.
At this moment, in the room, in addition to the angry Prime Minister Paul and Cleverley who possessed the body of the second prince Julian, there were also two Sacred Domain powerhouses who obeyed Prime Minister Paul's orders, and there were a full fifty dead soldiers and masters carefully cultivated by the Ice Giant Bear family outside the room on standby at any time.
It was precisely because so many elites were mobilized at once that the heavily guarded Ice Bear Family Mansion gave the Second Adjudicator a chance to infiltrate and leave unharmed.
As long as Prime Minister Paul gives an order, these people will not hesitate to move, like a pack of hungry wolves, tearing the Prime Minister's target to pieces.
Cleverley, who was pouring himself a glass of wine when Prime Minister Paul entered the room, looked very calm, and even showed a friendly smile to Prime Minister Paul, who wanted to eat people: "Dear Prime Minister, with all due respect, you came to see me like this, is it something terrible that has happened?" ”
"What happened?" Prime Minister Paul's old face was distorted by anger: "What happened, don't you know?" If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, then don't blame me for being rude to you! ”
Prime Minister Paul's words were very powerful, and the two Sanctuary powerhouses were infected by the anger in their master's words, and they all took two steps closer to Cleverley at the same time, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became more tense.
Cleverley shook his head, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and the corner of his eye subconsciously aimed at the wine jug that had been shattered on the ground and the wine that was overflowing everywhere, and couldn't help but sigh softly, put down the goblet in his hand, and said to Prime Minister Paul: "So, what happened?" ”
Prime Minister Paul propped his hands on the table and stared at Cleverley as he sat still, his eyes almost bursting with fire.
Cleverley looked at Lao Zai, who had lost his beloved son, with a hint of confusion on his face that he didn't know what was happening.
The flame in Prime Minister Paul's eyes gradually went out.
"You've been in this room all the time, and you've never left the room for half a step?"
"Of course," Cleverley shrugged, "Could it be that all those watchmen you set up outside the room are eating dry meals?" ”
The old prime minister straightened up and gave Cleverley a deep look.
"Just now, an unknown guy killed Leon, who was my favorite child and was supposed to be the next head of the Ice Bear family after my death."
"I swear by the honor of my life and the name of the ancestors of the Ice Bear family, that once I find that damned murderer, I will cut him with a thousand knives and scatter his bones to ashes!"
With that, Prime Minister Paul strode out of the room, never looking at Cleverley again.
Looking at the old prime minister's figure, which suddenly became a little haggard, Cleverley couldn't help but shake his head again, and sighed softly again, showing a little pity on his face.
"If you want to win in the struggle for power, the most basic quality is that you don't recognize your six relatives and are hard-hearted, dear Prime Minister."
After saying this, Cleverley, who had a relaxed face, stood up from his chair, took out another bottle of wine from the wine cabinet in the room, and used the bottle to signal to the Sanctuary powerhouse who had been left in the room by Prime Minister Paul, with a gentle and friendly smile on his face.
"Friend, would you like a glass of '82 Lafite?"
