Chapter 526 The Quagmire of Greed X (17)
"Are you sure there wasn't any communication going on with Collier just now?"
Arthur was on the edge of the veil, his arms outstretched, and the rest of his body was wrapped in the curtain except for his face, hanging in the air. From time to time, a few bolts of lightning flashed through him.
"I can confirm." After hearing the inquiry, he made such a sound. "Although the energy is not full, there is a delay of some time. But the moment the jammer was activated, all communication inside the curtain was cut off, and no one tried to go out. β
"Is the power to kill Collier strong?" Henderman asked.
"Very strong." Arthur replied. "If I was fully armed, I could barely block it. And just now, Collier didn't wear any defensive equipment at all. β
"Not anymore." Henderman turned his head and glanced behind him.
Almost all the people in the curtain were dressed in defensive equipment. After that roar, and upon discovering Collier's death, some of the people panicked and demanded to leave the Veil. And after being rejected, under the leadership of a few role models, it quickly became like this.
Will this equipment be of any use in the face of a powerful attack? Henderman tried to persuade them in this way, but was stopped by Allen.
"It's okay to give them peace of mind." Alan put it this way.
Later, he took Henderman with him to Allen's place to inquire about interference and surveillance--- but received no good answer.
"What's next?" After receiving this reply from Arthur, Henderman asked Allen.
Alan hesitated. "This time, it shouldn't have been done by Nars."
"Yes, Collier is his supporter." Henderman said. "Nales would never kill anyone on his side. But if so, who is the traitor? β
"Collier won't be a threat to him either." Alan looked into the distance and said.
"You meanβ" Henderman also looked in the direction of Allen's gaze. Not to mention others, Alvin and Collier were certainly not executed by him. β
"Well, that means there are really traitors." Allen said. "In this veil, by our side."
"I don't understand." Henderman said. "If it's an ordinary traitor, how exactly did he kill Idler and John? Collier and Alvin are fine, Gendry and Galway are arguably not good at defense, but how could Ideler and John be killed so easily? β
"If a traitor kills them, then it's a very powerful traitor." Alan shrugged. "If Nars hadn't done it, there would have only been two people I could think of."
"You and me." Henderman looked at the other and said. "Did you do it?"
"There's no reason." Alan shook his head. "What reason do we have to kill our own men? And, when the first two died, I was still in the veil. And when Idler died, we were all together. β
"Wait a minute." Hendman looked into the distance. "It doesn't have to be our own.... Could it be them? β
He looked into the distance, at the group of Sibia's team.
"Them?" Alan thought for a moment and shook his head. "It's not like I haven't dealt with them before, and Mimels and Mine can't beat John."
"You're talking about a fair fight situation." Henderman said. "What if it's a sneak attack? What if these two people used any special props? β
"There's no reason for them to do anything to us." Allen said. "It was we who covered them from the herd. Miemes is a man who knows the times very well...."
"What if it's because he knows the times?" Henderman looked at each other. "He saw us sending out to scout and thought we were about to go to war with the opposite team. Even if he doesn't think we're going to lose, but if he wants to bet on both sides..."
"In that case, he just needs to wait and see, why should he cooperate with the other party to kill our people?"
"What if he didn't arrange for someone to kill him?" Henderman said. "It was the other party who infiltrated his team, posed as his men, and then killed our people without his knowledge, so what? Even if he found out, would he dare to say anything? β
"And what do you mean?" Alan asked. "Want me to interrogate the team of allies? I'm not the chairman of the council! β
"Of course, even if you interrogate them, nothing will come of it." Henderman said. "But you are the head of the regiment, and in your capacity, we can drive them out."
"Get out?"
"It's a good fit." Hendman looked into the distance. "You can go and say: there have been so many incidents in the Veil lately, and I hope they will leave the Veil for their safety. Like I said before, Miemes is a very knowledgeable person, and he doesn't need to say much to understand what you mean. β
Alan thought about it for a moment. "That is, to leave only our own team in the veil?"
"That's it." Henderman said. "Only in this way can everyone feel at ease."
"If they die outside, the council is finished."
"That doesn't matter." Henderman said. "When Arnold comes back, we'll build another one! If he couldn't come back, we wouldn't have been able to control those people! β
"You make a lot of sense." Alan looked into the distance and groaned. "But I need to make sure: Did you already speak to Mr. Mimeles before you came to talk to me?"
Henderman was silent.
"Or, to put it another way, did you come up with this suggestion, or did Mr. Mimeles come up with it and ask you to pass it on to me?"
There was great anger brewing in Allen's tone. And Henderman was silent.
After a few moments, Allen smiled again and patted Henderman on the shoulder. "Okay, I see. Do you think Arnold will agree to your plan when he comes out? Or will you blame you for missing out on a lot of opportunities? β
Henderman remained silent.
"Go and tell him that you've succeeded." Alan said softly. "Make it clear to them: I was so angry at the offer that I insisted that they should not leave as long as they were members of the Council. But as long as they leave the council, I have no choice but to sit back and watch them leave. May I? β
"Well... Good. Henderman reluctantly replied.
"Then, when they get out, you don't care about the rest. Stay in the curtain, watch this place, don't have any more accidents, okay? β
"Yes, Mr. Commander." Henderman replied with a stiff expression.
"Good." Alan ignored him and walked towards Arthur. "Can you get in touch with Gad's group?"
"Yes." Arthur looked at Henderman in the distance. "You're going to call them back?"
"Nope." Alan shook his head. "Let them go straight to the traitors of the Council."
