Chapter 201: Yang's Killing Intent
"Find it for me again. Swain threw the report on the table and said in an unquestioning tone, "Don't say anything you can't find, if the thirteen lessons can't find a little ghost head in the imperial capital, what's the point of your existence?"
Sethothero lowered his head and pursed his lips, Swain's reprimand was as sharp as his eyes, and his requirements were even more harsh, if Yang could not be found within three days, then all the members of the thirteenth class would be dismissed.
"Director, this request is too difficult, the little ghost you mentioned, but it turns out that the person with the strongest combat effectiveness in the thirteen lessons, it is not easy to find him, not to mention the existence of Manfred, we ...... alone"
"You mean, you want me to go find it myself?" Swain stared at Sethotherso coldly, "If that's what you're thinking about, then it seems that you really don't need to stay in this department, if you can't do anything, what are you left to do?"
"Please, please wait a minute, I didn't mean that!" Cesarthurso was not only stunned, he didn't expect Swain to be so direct, turning his face so quickly, "Even if you dismiss us all, who can be in charge of the affairs of the Thirteenth Lesson? Most of the employees of the Thirteenth Lesson are also the same as the Hecate family, serving this department for generations, although it is not a magical family, but at least we know more about the magical world than ordinary people, and there is no substitute for others!"
"However," Swain's expression did not change at all, it was still a cold indifference that made Sessameseso's heart cold, "Thirteen Lessons is no longer the time when the Hecatet family is in charge, if you miss Count Hecate so much, why don't you show your loyalty to his daughter and come to serve me?"
Cethersor's face became extremely ugly, and he always felt that Swain did not treat him as a subordinate, but as a dog.
"Your Excellency, I beg your pardon for being rude. Sesarthurso suppressed his anger and said in a dull voice, "I don't understand why you are so eager to capture Yang and Manfred, who do not have any signs of endangering the imperial capital at the moment. β
"If you can't find them, how do you know if they will endanger the imperial capital?" Swain glared back at Sethotherso's words with a glance of his eyes, "When you know their plans, it's too late to remedy anything, don't make it like the administration, Thirteen Lessons, it should be a little bit of a show." β
Thessame's face twitched a few times, and finally he let out a long sigh and surrendered to Swain. "Director, you are the commander of the Thirteenth Division, and we have no right to refuse your order, but please let me understand why Yang and Manfred are so urgently arrested?"
Swain stared at ThΓ©thurso in silence, while the young Thirteenth Section employee straightened his back and looked at Swain without flinching, although he was a little jealous of his boss's inscrutable temper, but at this moment, ThΓ©thurso still had a clear conscience.
"Last night, I saw him. Swain said lightly, but his flat words startled Cesartherso.
"What, you saw him!" Sethersso's eyes widened and he looked at Swain in disbelief, "But, but we haven't received any information about it?" last night...... Could it be in Jericho...... Was it at any banquet?"
Apparently Cesarthurso had also heard the news of Swain and Ernest last night, so he swallowed back half of what he had said.
"You'd better hear me finish. Sven stared at Cesarthso coldly, which made the other party feel a chill down his spine, "I saw Yang on Triumph Avenue, he deliberately waited there, waited there to see me." β
Cethothero opened his mouth, but he immediately closed his mouth at the thought of Swain's warning.
"He didn't talk to me, but let me see him as the carriage drove by, and, from that hurried side, I could feel that Yang had changed something I didn't expect. β
"What is it?" this time, Cethotherso didn't hold back and asked directly.
"Eyes. Sven pointed to his black pupils, "The killing intent in his eyes is stronger than any time I've seen him before, and the naked and undisguised killing intent is still fresh in my memory." β
Sesarthurso was stunned, if Yang really showed this level of killing intent, wouldn't that mean it......
He immediately thought of the worst-case scenario.
"And there's one more thing that I have to confirm as soon as possible, I need to find Yang before things get the worst. Swain tossed the report on his desk to Cesarthother, "I don't want to hear you about how difficult it is, he will definitely appear, and since he has appeared before me, he will definitely do something." I am very sure of this, because Yang is such a good person, he is paranoid, extreme, and impulsive, competitive, and will never allow himself to fail, so once he makes a move, he will never be half-hearted, and will definitely do it to the end, no matter what the final price is. β
Cetherso hurriedly took the report, and at the same time couldn't help but look at Swain strangely with a suspicious expression on his face. "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, but are you overconfident, I've known Yang for several years, and it's true that this kid is sometimes a bit stubborn, but to say paranoid...... You haven't met him a few times, and you've only known him for a few months, so why are you so sure?"
"Because I'm the same person as him. Swain took his cane and slammed it on the ground, "I'm also paranoid, extreme, competitive, and I will never allow myself to fail." It's just that I'm more paranoid, more extreme, more competitive, and more tolerant of failure. β
In Cethersso's puzzled eyes, Sven stood up with his cane, walked to the window, turned his back to Cethersso and said: "So we hate each other, and a paranoid person like us will have the urge to kill a person who hates him, if not to the extreme, or to love to the extreme, this is the survival principle of people like us." Moreover, people like us will be even more disgusted with our own kind, because we will see the ugly shadow of ourselves in our kind. β
Swain remembered what Prime Minister Pitt had said to the Marquis of Metternich and Nicholas I at the enthronement ceremony of Alexander: "It is precisely because of this resemblance that they end up contradicting each other." β
"I didn't understand at first why Yang wanted to kill me as soon as he saw me, and I didn't figure it out until I wanted to kill him too. β
"Yang hates people like me, always oppressing the other party with the chips in his hand, ignoring the kindness of others, just wanting to drive the opponent to death, even if the other party surrenders, he is indifferent, this is what he sees in me, and this is also what I see in him. β
Sven's eyes deepened, and the shadow of the blinds cast on his face, making his face obscure.
"We all see ourselves in each other and see the last thing we want. People like us will not admit their imperfections, especially the ugliness of themselves, even if they know it in their hearts, they will deceive themselves and deceive themselves, and they hate such a person, and they want to kill him, so as to completely blind themselves. β
"Understood, Mr. Wueling. Swain turned around and looked at Sethersso, whose face was as ugly as a toothache, "Yang and I don't have any irresolvable hatred, we just naturally look at each other unpleasantly, and we are so unhappy that we have to kill each other to make ourselves feel comfortable." β
The corners of Cethother's mouth twitched, revealing an ugly smile. "I don't think I understand, a little person like me can't learn your paranoia and extremism. β
"I hope so. Sven said lightly.
Cethersso fell silent, probably trying to figure out what Swain's mind was, wondering what kind of plans the chief, whom he said he was paranoid and extreme, had.
"Artmis, do you need to be informed?" After a long time, perhaps with some certainty, Cethersso asked, "Today Artemis has been summoned by His Majesty the Emperor to go to the Palace of Tiamat, so I can come, but if she knew about this, she probably wouldn't support you." β
Swain looked at Cethurso, and there was still no inclination on his face, which made Cethersso feel weak - he didn't have a clear conscience in this sentence.
"I'll keep her around, so," Swain's eyes seemed to be playful, and Cethotherso was uncomfortable, "just do it, you have to make a choice between what you want." β
"Yes," Cethotherso bowed his head deeply, "I see. β

After returning from Pesa's house, Caterina became interested in the affairs of Pesa's family, although she may be a little suspicious, but Catalina always felt that it was too much of a coincidence that the Duke of Pesa went out during the rebellion of the Ministry of the Interior. Especially thinking of the mysterious case that happened in the Pesa family seven years ago, combined with Swain's matter, Caterina felt more and more that this family was a little strange.
"Your Highness the Princess. Franz, the court governor, knocked on Caterina's door, "I've brought you what you want." β
"Oh, all right, please come in, Mr. Metternich. Caterina pushed aside the contents of the desk and got up to open the door for Franz, "Excuse me, Mr. Metternich. Looking at the stack of documents that Franz was holding, Caterina smiled, and she was quite satisfied with the efficiency of the new manager.
"This should be the last part, right?" Caterina took the stack of materials from Franz's hand, held them with some difficulty, and placed them on her desk.
"Yes, Your Highness. Franz wiped the sweat from his head, the weight was fine for a grown man like him, but it was hard work to find them in the archives.
"Thank you. Caterina patted the full bag of papers on the table with satisfaction, and as she patted it, the paper bags shook a few times, making Franz look a little trembling.
"That's what I'm supposed to do. Franz bent down and bowed. He knew that since the eldest princess returned to the palace of Tiamat, Alexander was quite dissatisfied with his daughter because of the princess's unauthorized actions during the rebellion of the Ministry of the Interior, and almost always confined to the palace, without the intercession of Queen Anna, Caterina would not have left the palace at all, so she could only find something to do in order to pass the time.
Of course, Franz didn't know that Caterina was not just passing the time when it came to Pesa's affairs.
"Anything else?" asked Caterina seeing that Franz had not left.
"Yes......" Franz hesitated slightly, as if he was struggling with whether to say it or not.
"Say whatever you want. Looking at Franz's appearance, Caterina laughed, "You are the grandson of the Marquis of Metternich, and if you are so twisted, Your Excellency the Marquis of Heaven will want to reprimand you again." β
Franz laughed embarrassedly, for him, this joke is not funny, after all, he grew up in the shadow of his grandfather, and the fear of the old marquis has been deeply rooted in his bones, even if the Marquis of Metternich dies, he can't help but feel afraid.
"You seem to have been looking at the files of the Pesa family case seven years ago, IMHO, so ...... I'm afraid it's not good, you're a princess after all, ...... do these things."
"What's wrong with doing all this?" Caterina raised an eyebrow and looked at Franz sternly, "Is there any rule in the court that doesn't allow me to do this?"
"No, it's not!" Franz hurriedly waved his hand, "It's just that I'm afraid this will ...... your reputation."
"Wind comment?" Caterina narrowed her eyes, "Could it be that who has the audacity to speak irrationally to the princess of the empire?"
Franz's head was like clockwork, he would only shake his head, and in the face of the sharp-tongued Caterina, he really had no words, even if he was from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but his sharp mouth was useless at this time.
Caterina raised her arm and pointed to the door, and although she didn't say a word, Franz knew exactly what the other meant.
Sighing helplessly, Franz left Celestia's room.
Katarina, who remained in the room, had a very gloomy face.
