Chapter 246: Conspiracy
"Who are you here on?"
Oleg was silent for a long time before he asked this sentence.
The end is not important, the means are not important, and the identity is not important.
What matters is the forces he represents.
This will determine what attitude Oleg chooses to approach him and what decisions he makes.
Oleg is obviously not so naïve as to think that Irievich is an old brother, so he dares to come to the door and threaten him with some secrets he has in his possession.
"It doesn't matter who I am or who I represent, what matters is that we have a common enemy." Irievich did not answer Oleg's question directly, and said with a faint smile, "I admire your courage and determination, but unfortunately your courage and determination seem to have chosen the wrong goal, so I came to correct it for you." Please forgive me for reminding you that the reason why the Russian Mage Association fell into a civil war, why President Makaric died mysteriously, and why Ulyana was able to succeed in ascending to the throne are all inseparable from the promotion of the person behind it, isn't it? ”
"I don't understand what you're talking about." Oleg's face is uncertain.
Irijvich continued: "I know very well what I'm talking about, and I think you must know very well what I'm talking about, but you know all this in your heart, but you don't have the courage to face that person, because that person or the power that that person represents is so strong that you don't even have the courage to try to deal with him." Oh, should I say you tried to go over to deal with him, and you want to use Hemmer? Brooks' strength, but it's a pity that Hemmer, who is known for his bravery and tenacity? Brooks also bent over the man in exchange for his unstinting aid to the Eastern European Mage Guild. ”
"That person's name is Yong Bowen, a careerist who stirs up unrest wherever he goes." Irievich tapped lightly on the armrest of the seat and said the name of the enemy hidden in Oleg's heart.
"What do you want?" Oleg did not move, only his eyes shrunk, no longer looking directly at Irievich, but staring at his hands, and finally his gaze fell on the simple and crude dog head ring.
As an intelligence expert, Oleg was well-informed, and when he first saw the dog's head ring, he felt a little familiar, and he always felt that he should have seen a similar ring somewhere, and had heard the meaning of this ring, but he couldn't remember it for a while. He had always been proud of his memories, and this situation only showed that he didn't take the ring to heart at that time.
"Cooperation, a win-win cooperation." Irijic spread his hands, "Presumably you don't want to see Yong Bowen in Eastern Europe chūn proud, with Hemer?" Let's work with Brooks. In that case, you will never have a chance to deal with Yong Bowen again. And now, you have an opportunity at hand that can drive a wedge between them. I've heard that Mrs. Brooks is sick with a young daughter, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”
"Are you trying to threaten me into serving you?" Oleg sneered, "It's ridiculous to threaten me with my identity, you just immediately made my identity public, do you think Master Brooks dares to take me in, and does the Russian side dare to send someone to hunt me down?" ”
"No, no, no." Iriyivich raised his right index finger and shook it gently, "You are mistaken, Master Oleg. What I want is cooperation, a win-win cooperation. Yong Bowen is also my enemy, and I hope to be able to deal with him, even if it is just to make him suffer some setbacks, which I am happy to see. You have such an opportunity to help me achieve this goal, so in return, I am willing to support you to return to Russia and achieve all your goals, even if it is to overthrow Ulyana and ascend the throne as the new underground tsar of Russia. ”
Oleg said: "I don't need your help with this. As long as I provide information and help the Eastern European Mage Association successfully annihilate the Xenomorph Alliance, what you say, Mage Brooks will do it for me. Do you think I should trust a reputable Purple Emblem Great Demon Slayer, or should I trust you, a guy of unknown origin? ”
Irijvich scoffed: "Do you really think of Heimer? Will Brooks help you achieve your wishes? I don't think so, don't forget, Uriana's backer is also Yong Bowen, Brooks is afraid of Yong Bowen, and he won't do his best to help you, not to mention that if you eliminate the Xenomorph Alliance, you won't be of any use to him, do you want to pin your hopes on a politician's cāo guard? That's unreliable, it's not your style. What's more, judging from the current state of the war, it seems that your role in the war in Eastern Europe is not necessary. Will Brooks reconsider how to deal with your problem. ”
"I don't know when the Tengu Brotherhood will have a feud with Yong Bowen."
Oleg finally remembered. When he was collecting intelligence in Europe and the United States before, he had seen the dog head ring on the hand of a young mage, who was also from a family of mages, and he achieved the position of the president of the local association at a young age, which can be said to be promising. And the dog head ring, according to him, is the identity of a member of the secret alliance. The name of this secret secret alliance is the Tengu Brotherhood. The members are all young people in the upper class of Europe and the United States, not only mages, but also leaders in finance, politics, industry, etc., a jīng Ying xìng quality alliance similar to the Skull and Bones Society, each member is an ambitious young jīng Ying, they seem to be determined to establish a huge power network across all industries through such an alliance, and completely change the current political and economic pattern in Europe and the United States.
However, when Oleg collected information, the members of this Tengu Brotherhood were mostly limited to young jīng Ying in the mortal world, and there were very few mages involved, and most of them did not join as mages, and the impact on the magic world was very small, so Oleg did not pay much attention to it, and now it seems that the power of this Tengu Brotherhood has infiltrated the magic world, and it already has a lot of power?
"The Tengu Brotherhood?" Irijvich glanced down at his dog's head ring, smiled slightly, and didn't explain anything, just said, "You don't need to know this, it's a long story, and it's not so easy to finish it." You just need to know that we are fully capable of delivering on this promise. And with Hemmer? Brooks is different in that we will definitely deliver on our promises, and we will be happy to do anything that can adversely affect Yong Bowen. ”
"Just your empty words?" Oleg sneered, but deep down he was not as calm and cold as he seemed.
