Section 23

When Baron Arthur returned from the outer city, more than half an hour had passed since the assassination, and as he was about to step into the town hall, his deputy grabbed him from the side and whispered in his ear.

"Are you sure?" the baron didn't feel the harshness of his voice at all, and he looked at the orderly town hall in confusion, not at all like it had been attacked.

"Of course, I heard that Viscount Kai was almost finished, and now, our guards are being censored by them!" there was no trace of worry on the assistant's face, but a hint of ridicule.

Baron Arthur was completely unintelligible, "Censor our guards?

"Because those assassins were wearing the robes of our city guards to infiltrate the town hall!" the assistant cautiously observed his superior, trying to see a hint of intelligence in the other man's expression, but he was disappointed.

"Huh?" Baron Arthur's eyes were filled with shock, and he stared at his assistant, "What do you know about those guards?"

When the assistant heard this, he was obviously startled, at this time he had something to do with those guards, that is, looking for death, he shook his head again and again, "You know, I have never dealt with these people, at most occasionally I go to issue some orders from the city hall!"

Of course Baron Arthur wouldn't believe this, the city guard had a lot of gray income, and in the past, his assistant often ran to their station, but Baron Arthur also knew that his assistant should not be involved in this matter, so he didn't ask again.

It's a real nuisance, and it's at this juncture.

In any case, the upstart must be given an explanation, after all, the other party was assassinated in Seka City.

Baron Arthur thought about things as he walked.

Suddenly, he thought of some rumors, rumors about the slum wharf, and he looked in one direction, a look of embarrassment on his face.

But then, a wave of anger flowed between his eyebrows.

...

When Baron Arthur stepped into Gray's office, Gray was roaring about something.

"Find! the whole city will look for me, if I can't find you, I don't have to come back!"

A middle-aged intelligence officer shuddered under his roar.

Baron Arthur was a little embarrassed in his aristocratic manners, he watched the intelligence officer leave, and then asked, "What is the matter?"

"Sir Lois is missing!" Gray replied subconsciously, walking around his desk, anyone could feel that the lord was in a bad mood now, "He was missing with my warrant when he was on his way to the Guards station!"

Baron Arthur's face changed, and his fingers trembled imperceptibly.

This is no small matter!

He regretted entering the room a little, but at the same time with a hint of happiness.

Baron Arthur was about to say something, when the intelligence officer, who had just left, hurried back to the cannon fodder office, walked up to Gray's side, whispered a word in his ear, and then stepped aside with a disturbed expression.

A violent look was spreading on Gray's young face.

Baron Arthur could feel the shock and pent-up anger in his body, and he stood up, taking two steps back to the side.

"Have you secured the scene?" Gray spat out a few words between his teeth.

"Of course, our men cordoned off the immediate vicinity in the first place!" replied the intelligence officer immediately.

Gray nodded indifferently, glanced at Baron Arthur without a trace, and then returned to his place at his desk, his head bowed, his right thumb lightly pressed against his temple.

The people around him, including Baron Arthur, did not dare to disturb the young lord, who was in a terrible mood.

There was a brief silence in the office.

After almost a minute, Gray suddenly raised his head, his gaze scanning the room, and then resting on one of his attendants, called Delenn, "Let Baron Taqia come to me!"

After Duren was canonized as a knight by Hamp, Rena was selected by Gray from the army and was a person who could be trusted!

"Baron Arthur!" Gray walked over to Arthur's side, squeezing a smile on his face, and said, "Shall we go somewhere?"

This is the tone of inquiry.

"Of course, it's my pleasure!" Baron Arthur had already guessed, and he understood why the other party had called him.

...

...

In a dark corner of the inner city, not far from the town hall, a trail of blood flowed down the slope to the street, and at this moment, the lights were brightly lit in this dark corner.

Several corpses lay quietly on the cold ground, and Gray stared at one of them, the corpse of his chief military adviser, Loire.

"They were all killed by a single blow, and the murderer was attacked at close range, and it is clear that Sir Loire and his party were unguarded against the murderer, and his guards did not even draw their swords!" said the coroner, cautiously reporting to Gray based on his own experience.

"Yes!" Gray listened quietly, he looked at Baron Arthur next to him, and asked, "What do you think?"

Although Baron Arthur had been prepared for a long time, he was also shocked when he actually saw Loire's body.

"I'll find out!" Baron Arthur's deep voice rang out.

"My guard will check too!" Gray helped Loi close his eyes.

Baron Arthur was stunned, "Maybe..."

He didn't want Gray to touch this case, he subconsciously wanted to say something, he knew very well that those people were involved in this, and he didn't want Gray to fall into the struggle between nobles at this critical time.

After all, the war on the Byan Lord's side still needs this young lord!

"Baron..."Gray's voice suddenly became loud, he was trying to suppress his anger, "this is your life-and-death struggle, I don't care who he is, no matter what status he is, I will definitely make him pay for what he does!"

"Of course!" said Baron Arthur, "but these are not our most critical problems now, I want you to assure you that they will get the punishment they deserve, but not now!"

"Not now?" Gray grimaced, "what do you mean?"

"Viscount Cage, I can understand your feelings, but now that the South is facing an attack by the Orc Alliance, and the Byan Territory has lost most of its land, we shouldn't make too much trouble on this issue!" Baron Arthur persuaded, "You should calm down, I promise you, those people will get the price they deserve!"

"My dear baron, why don't you tell them these words, they want to kill me!" Gray roared, his voice shocking, "It's to kill me, do you know what the consequences of killing me are?

Baron Arthur hurriedly said: "I don't think you understood what I meant, Viscount Kai, I never said that I would spare those damn moths, I mean to let me do this thing, you shouldn't set up too many internal enemies at this time!"

Gray stared at each other in surprise, and Baron Arthur also looked directly at Gray.

"Someone from my guard will assist you. ”

Eventually, Gray ended the conversation in an icy tone.
