"That's you, Mayor Delmon!" Estelle pointed at Delmon and loudly announced the truth.

"Your secretary, Kilbart, was arrested last night and confessed to the crime of burning down the orphanage and robbing the charity by his hired murderers. Joshua said.

"One, all nonsense! That's all Kilbut's private behavior!" said Mayor Delmont quibbly.

"But why did he do this?" said Reilly, spreading his hands, "there is no hatred or interest between Kilbat and the orphanage. The reason why he went on fire is to clear the way for your plan to build a villa complex. ”

"Enough! How long are you going to dwell on such unfounded things?!" said Mayor Delmont angrily, "It is true that I have been planning the construction of the villa complex for a long time, but it is only one part of the development of Lu'an. Even if this matter is put on hold, my usual achievements are enough to secure the mayor's seat. Tell me, why should I do whatever it takes to build a villa complex?"

"I guess it's because you're in debt. ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at the door in unison.

"Yo, isn't this Nair and Richard, when did you two collude?" said Reilly, smiling playfully.

"Collusion......" Richard smiled wryly and said, "I met Mr. Nair outside, so I talked to him for a while. ”

"We didn't hear those words word for word. Nair said excitedly.

Delmont grimaced, "Y-Who are you?!"

"It's rude. Richard smiled and said, "My name is Aran Richard, and he is a soldier. ”

"I'm a reporter for the Liber Newsletter, Nair Banz. ”

During this time, Mr. Nair has been investigating the financial situation of the city of Luan. Richard's gaze gradually became sharp: "Mayor Delmont, you ...... You've overdrawn Lu'an's budget, right?"

"This, this...... This is the money used to build the villa complex......"

"So much money was spent before construction even began?" said Reilly, playfully.

"I felt that something was wrong, so I went to the airship commune in the royal capital to check the records, and the results were very surprising!" Nell paused and said, "How many times did you go to the Republic a year ago?"

“...... Just, just to travel......"

"Isn't that right?" Nair shook his head and said, "The real reason is that you speculated there and ended up with a lot of losses!"

Delmon looked at Nair with a resentful gaze, and he wanted to tear the nosy reporter to shreds.

"That...... What is speculation?" asked Istelle, puzzled.

"Taking advantage of the price difference in the market to make a profit is called speculative trading. Reilly explains: "For example, buying a lot of steel and Qiyao in peacetime and selling it at a high price in wartime. ”

"I see...... So, how much money did Mayor Delmont lose?"

"My friends in the Republic investigated this...... It's about 100 million meters. Nair said.

"One, one, one hundred million mira!!" Estelle exclaimed.

"I see...... Joshua looked at Delmon coldly and said, "In order to repay this huge debt, you did not hesitate to go down the path of crime. ”

"Uh, 100 million mira......" Duke Dunant said in surprise, "Originally, I thought I was spending a lot of money, but I didn't expect you to be better than me!"

"This kind of thing has to be divided......" Istelle was speechless, this guy is really hopeless.

"In short, you used the budget of Lu'an City to pay off that huge debt, but it was nothing more than tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall. Originally, I was still guessing what you would do next, but I didn't expect you to use that method to build a high-end villa area......" Nair smiled and said, "It's really desperate." ”

"Hmph, do you have any evidence?" said Mayor Delmont with a grim look, "If you dare to write this speculation, I will definitely accuse you of slander!"

"You can't say that. Reilly shook his finger and said, "I suppose the members of the Intelligence Department have almost got the account books, right?"

"Of course. Richard snapped his fingers, and two black-clad soldiers walked in through the door.

"My lord, we found an account book behind a mural in the study. ”

“...... Lord Delmon, the place where you hide things is really classic......" Reilly couldn't complain anymore.

"Huh. Richard laughs and says, "When conducting a search, it is customary to remove the mural and turn the vase. ”

"Damn~" Delmon suddenly took out a remote control and aimed it at the wall behind him: "In that case, you guys will die for me!"

"Secret passage?" Reilly frowned and said, "The breath of the demonic beast ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the wall had opened under Delmon's control, and two giant demon wolves rushed out from behind.

"Is this your hole card?" Reilly instantly unleashed a ring of ice, freezing the two giant wolves in place.

The next moment, Richard had flashed behind the two giant wolves. No one but Reilly could see his movements.

"So fast!" Joshua said with a solemn expression.

Richard slowly put his sword into the sheath, and the two giant wolves fell to the ground weakly with blood gushing out.

"Good, that's amazing!" exclaimed Istelle.

"There's a lot of progress!" Reilly said, glancing at Richard.

"How, how can it be......" Delmon's face changed, and he reached into his arms to pull something out.

"Still want to resist?!" Richard smacked Delmon with his scabbard, knocking one of his scepters away.

"It's really dangerous...... Reilly picked up the scepter and said with a smile, "There is actually an ancient relic hidden, if it weren't for Richard's quick reaction, it might have turned the tables for you." ”

"You're laughing. Richard smiled and said, "With Mr. Reilly here, what tricks can he play?"

"Haha, that's all for the compliments...... Huh?" Reilly suddenly noticed a strange mental fluctuation, and looked towards Delmon.

"Huh, why did this guy faint?" said Steele, puzzled, "Did Colonel Richard hit him on the head?"

"I'm still a little immature, but I'm not going to hit the enemy in the head with a blow to the arm......" Richard said helplessly.

"Ah...... Yes, I'm sorry. Astelle said embarrassedly, "I didn't mean you ......"

"Don't care. Richard smiled and said, "You two carry the prisoner out and ask the doctor to come and check it out." ”

"Yes!" the soldiers saluted, then carried Delmon out.

"Speaking of which, why are the soldiers wearing masks?" asked Estelle curiously.

"The members of the Intelligence Department are often on secret missions, so their identities are also kept secret. Reilly said.

"Hey, is their job dangerous?"

"For Liberal's sake, we are not afraid of any hardships!" said Richard solemnly.

After returning to the Luan branch, Jain complimented Estelle and the others, and gave her and Joshua letters of recommendation for their qualifications as guerrillas.

In the next few days, the commission of the Lu'an area was cleared, and Reilly gave a few more lectures at the Royal Academy, which was a complete end to the trip to Lu'an.

On the day of their parting, Kross accompanied them to the El Raiden Lodge, which connects the Luan and Chase regions.
