Chapter 371: The Priest's Leader
Hearing this, Benjamin couldn't help frowning deeply. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Sure enough...... People in the church are not so easy to bully. He let the "crow" make trouble for half a month, and although the church was entangled in everything, he still couldn't bear it anymore.
"They mentioned street gangs, but what about other than that?" Benjamin asked, after a moment's thought, "where have they gone in their investigation, and do they know the name 'Raven'?"
Jessica was silent for a moment and said, "If they really don't know, then I don't need to worry." ”
"How could they know?" said Benjamin.
Jessica sighed, sat down on the table, and said slowly: "Yesterday, when a few of my subordinates went to destroy the church in the middle of the night, they accidentally caught one of them. I'm not trying to question their loyalty, but ...... They're just ordinary people, and they can't hold their mouths. ”
...... Someone was arrested?
Hearing this, Benjamin couldn't help but have a headache.
For street gangsters, it's normal to miss, but they get caught...... When he asked Jessica to harass the church, Jessica also swore that her men were cautious and would never be caught.
At the end of the day, I'm still too confident.
However, everyone has been arrested, and it is useless to say this.
With the Church's methods, they don't care if the mouth of the person they catch is solid, and information leaks are nine out of ten things - if reading memories can be used here, then no one can keep their mouth shut in front of the church except the mage.
In addition, what is even more troublesome is that if those subordinates know about Benjamin, then wouldn't even Benjamin be exposed because of this?
"Your men...... How much do they know?" Benjamin immediately asked.
Jessica spoke, her tone heavier than ever: "They don't know about Your Excellency's existence, but they know me, they have seen me, they know most of the strongholds of the 'Crows', and they have seen most of the active members of the 'Crows'. If they all come out, we're going to be hit very hard. ”
As she spoke, she leaned against the table, her hand on her forehead, looking extremely stressed. The aristocratic temperament that was strongly supported in the past also disappeared at this moment, like a graduate student who writes a thesis until four o'clock in the middle of the night, and then has to catch the exam the next morning.
When Benjamin heard this, he still felt very troubled.
According to her, as soon as the church extracts the memory, the whole "crow" will be finished. And the "crow" is finished, and Benjamin's news, of course, those people in the church will know.
Although Benjamin has been operating in the shadows since returning from Shelly City, he has never shown himself as he is, but fortunately, his name is not on Freden's official wanted list. And now, if he is found again, the church will have reason to want him.
He wasn't afraid of being wanted, but it would be more difficult to recruit a mage in the name of a wanted criminal.
"Either way, you better hide for now. After a moment of silence, Benjamin said helplessly, "Once the church starts searching, you will definitely be in danger. You'd better get out of Riley City first, hide outside, and come back when the limelight is over. ”
When Jessica heard this, she shook her head with a resolute look.
"Your Excellency, 'Crows' are the only thing my father has left me. If we duck out and come back, there will be no more 'crows' in Riley City. I can't go. ”
"But what can you do? Your position and identity are exposed, do you still want to stay here and fight against those people?"
Jessica shook her head again, and suddenly, she pulled out a map from the cabinet next to her.
"I have already investigated, and last night the men who captured me were a priest named John. "Because the church has not yet been built, the church has rented several empty houses, and all the priests in Riley live in different parts of the city." And this Father John, who is the leader of these people, lives alone in this place. ”
As she spoke, she pointed to a street in the north of the map.
Benjamin raised an eyebrow: "You...... Are you sure?"
"I'm not going to joke with the crow's life. Jessica replied categorically.
When Benjamin heard this, he couldn't help but nod his head when he looked at the place pointed out on the map, and a strange look suddenly flashed in his eyes.
The leader of the group of priests...... Is it?
In this case, the whole thing may not be without a turnaround.
"After my men were caught, they were taken to his place by the priest and have not yet left. Jessica's eyes suddenly showed a look of begging, "Master Mage, it's been less than a day since they were captured, and they may not have told everything yet, Your Excellency...... Can you get them out?"
"Don't worry, I'll definitely help. Benjamin immediately spoke, "However, I advise you to be mentally prepared. The church has a means of searching people's memories. If they use it on your men, one minute is enough to know everything. ”
At this point, he paused, and then continued, "Details of the crow...... Nine times out of ten, it has been exposed. ”
Hearing this, Jessica's breath was suffocated, as if she had been struck by lightning.
Seeing this, Benjamin couldn't help but shake his head.
He could probably understand the other party's mood at the moment. After all, it is the country that you have worked hard for. The news that she had finally become the biggest gang in Riley City could collapse overnight was an absolutely unbearable blow to her.
Not to mention what "crow" means to her.
"It's not easy to keep what you used to have, but what is even more remarkable is the courage to start over. Thinking of this, Benjamin persuaded.
Jessica was silent for a long time, let out a slightly sarcastic laugh, and said, "Don't worry, Your Excellency's existence, the only people in the entire 'Crow' know are me and Berner." If the people of the church do kill us, we will kill ourselves first, and we will not expose your existence. ”
When Benjamin heard this, he couldn't help but rub his temples.
Why is this man so iron-headed?
"So...... You're not going to leave Riley City anyway, are you?" he asked.
Jessica shook her head, "I'm not leaving." ”
"Oh well. ”
Benjamin sighed, slapped the table, and said helplessly, "Tonight, I will go to the priest to see the situation." If all the information about the 'crow' has been exposed, you don't have to worry. I don't know what the guys up there will use to clean up the gangs, but soon, they'll be out of the time to take care of you. ”
Jessica was stunned and asked with some confusion, "Why?"
Benjamin smiled slightly, turned around, walked to the window, and said slowly: "Because from tonight onwards, all the priest leaders in the territory of Freden will die one after another. ”
