Chapter 51: The Abrupt Visitor
"What? He's been here many times? ”
"Yes......" said the neatly dressed and polite lobby waiter in the high-end hotel on Entertainment Street, "Mr. Harold has been visiting here several times a day since two days ago...... But since you've been away for the past two days, you're ......"
"I've been around the city for the past two days...... "Heliga pouted, "that's fine...... If he comes back tomorrow, please ask him to come to my room directly. I'm supposed to stay in the hotel all the time tomorrow. ”
"Understood." Although he had many questions about the mysterious boy who had moved in a few days ago, there was a high level of peculiarity in a city like Crossbell, and it would not be strange for any kind of person to be here, so he didn't ask too much, just bowed slightly, and then left.
"I'm not surprised at all that he came to the door, but ...... Why did he know I was here? After Haliga swept through Marconi's small vault and exchanged it for a large check in a mysterious antique shop in the back street—the old woman in the antique shop, by the way, had a quirky personality and looked very mysterious, but she had a good relationship with Old Man Yogguru, perhaps because she was a regular at Yogouru's doll workshop—and moved to the more prominent entertainment street. But theoretically, not too many people will know about this matter.
"Forget it...... He can be regarded as a famous businessman here, and it is normal to have one or two sources of information of his own...... I'm not acting in secret. Heliga shrugged his shoulders, not taking the matter to heart, "Compared to this...... This guy is finally desperate to find out the truth. This at least shows that he cares about his daughter, as for whether this care is malicious or well-intentioned...... Well, hopefully it won't be a bad outcome. ”

"Rubacher's money goes to the underground forces ...... Black Moon...... The funds of the mayor's office that Yagnister moved ...... the possibility of the remnants of the "Order", and the strange drug medical report...... Hmm, where is the key and connection between these things? "It was late at night, but Heliga was still clear-headed—after pouring a few bottles of special potions, it was no problem to go without sleep for days and nights just to maintain the intensity and thinking of her daily life.
In the previous personal operation, the information collected can be said to be quite rich, and with the help of Ling, many unexpected things have been found.
It's just that the incident, which could already be seen at the beginning, has become confusing again after a new round of intelligence. The more details there are, the harder it is to pinpoint them – and that's a strange thing.
"President Malconi is in the same league as Speaker Harutman...... And Mayor Henry McDowell, as a true and honest official, must be on a par with corrupt people like Harutman who abuse their power. From this point of view, maybe Yánistria is also a pawn of his hands......? ”
Shaking his head, he carefully flipped through the report of the mayor's secretary Yaniste that Ling had provided, and Helliga rejected this idea again.
"Unlikely...... Judging by the report and the resume, the relationship between the Ygniestrian and McDowell families can be described as extraordinary...... It is impossible to make him fall to the other side by mere material temptations. Moreover, Ling also said that there is no trace of Yanistria's family being coerced at present...... And if Speaker Harutman was planning these things behind his back, and he was the mastermind, it would not have been possible to ask Ygniestria to do something about the funds six months ago and then there was no movement. Then it seems that there is only one situation that makes sense...... This guy wants to get rid of the mayor and then - take the position himself? ”
Although it is somewhat nonsensical, this is actually the most likely conclusion.
"Forget it...... I'll tell them about these things through Arios...... After that, it's up to them to judge. With a wry smile, Heiliga finally decided to put the matter aside for now.
"As for the Black Auction...... "I'm ......a little interested And Ling also gave ample information, it seems that this auction will take place in the recuperation area of Mishuram - in the old den of Speaker Harutman. All the lots in the venue have been delivered to the warehouse that I just visited...... Hmph, front and back feet. ”
The "Black Auction" will most likely be the turning point for everything – because that's when Harutman, the man behind a lot of things, will make his appearance. If you can seize this opportunity...... Even if it's a bit risky, it's ......
Suddenly, Heliga felt discomfort in his eyebrows—after receiving all of Bernardo's power, the abilities that were unique to the strong, such as surveillance and danger intuition, were gradually transferred to him. It was very obvious just now - the feeling of being targeted. Although only for a moment.
“Laas-Yah-Nir。” The dragon's roar, the whisper of the aura - reveals all signs of life around it, and no amount of realistic disguise escapes the prying eyes of this power. Stronger than normal life detection spells. Sure enough, in the corridor of the upper floors of the hotel, in addition to the guests and ordinary people who were talking in twos and threes, there was a faint aura that was extremely cleverly camouflaged above the panoramic transparent window that could overlook the entire night view of Crossbell from a high vantage point.
"Why don't you come in and sit down?" Gently pushing open the window, Heliga said calmly, "Isn't it tiring to hang on the wall like this?" ”
“…… What a surprise. A moment later, a hoarse voice of metallic texture sounded above Haliga's head—the owner of the voice, dressed in strange leather armor and indistinguishable from male and female, leaping gently into the room through the open window.
"Accident what?" Helliga raised an eyebrow, "I actually found your peeping?" ”
"On top of that, you've found so many things...... It's very close to the truth. The other party replied.
"Hmm...... This strange outfit, no male or female voice - hehe, if you are not mistaken, you are the mysterious killer of the Oriental Street hired by the "Black Moon" mentioned in the intelligence - "Silver", right? ”
"Now that you know that I exist, you must know the current situation of the Black Moon." "Silver" said lukewarmly, "My contractor seems to be interested in your activities in the shadows, so he sent me to check it out. It amazes me, I thought you were just a simple and reckless person...... I didn't expect it to be hidden and see through my existence. ”
"Since you are here, go back and tell your master." As if he didn't take the person in front of him seriously, Heliga sat back on the couch and flipped through the papers, "If there's anything, please come to the door and find it yourself—not these twists and turns." In this world, there is no snooping and surveillance that I can't perceive, even the masters who have cultivated the way of stealth to the realm of "reason", let alone a half-person like you. ”
"Don't be ashamed." "Silver" snorted coldly and took a step forward, "But in that case...... I'll just get to the point. Black Moon wants to know where you stand in this matter. ”
