Chapter 35: Knocking on the door

"We only got the secretary ......," said Istelle, reluctantly.

The other party was very well prepared, and even tied a rope to the railing of the lighthouse for escape. Joshua said with a solemn face: "This matter is not simple. ā€

"Well, I don't know......" Kloss asked, "Can we arrest Mayor Delmont for this?"

"No, I can't. Reilly shook his head and said, "Non-interference in internal affairs is a consistent principle of the Guerrilla Association, so we can't just arrest Delmon. ā€

"Wait a minute, that's unreasonable, isn't it?!" said Estelle eagerly.

"It's not reasonable, but that's the rule. Joshua said, "It is because of this rule that the Association has been able to open branches in various countries. ā€

"That's what I said......"

"What are you worried about?" said Reilly, smiling, "Although the guerrillas can't do it, the Kingdom Army can." ā€

"Huh?"

"Hehe, if you count the time, Colonel Richard should have arrived. Jain pushed his glasses and said.

"Colonel Richard?" said Estelle in surprise, "Brother Garn, have you already informed the Kingdom Army?"

"The members of the Intelligence Department are already on standby. Reilly said with a smile.

"I see. Joshua nodded and said, "First, let the prisoner know about the charity and induce him to show his flaws, and then let the kingdom army come forward so that the other party has no way to escape...... It's a pretty tight plan. ā€

"Kilbat hasn't returned overnight, Delmont may be wary, let's take a look at the situation first. Reilly smiled and said, "If you let him run away at the last minute, everyone will be very shameless." ā€

Everyone galloped all the way to the mayor's residence in Luan.

"Welcome. A maid greeted him: "I'm sorry, the mayor is meeting guests...... Could you please come back another day?"

"Are you talking about Duke Dunant?" Joshua said with a smile, "Actually, we know him too. ā€

"Yes. The maid looked at Joshua and said, "Are you also invited guests?"

"Well, the mayor personally invited us over. Joshua nodded and said, "Can you let us in?"

"It turned out to be a guerrilla. The maid looked at the badge on Joshua's chest and said, "In that case, let you in." The Mayor and the Duke were talking in the parlor on the second floor. ā€

"Okay. Joshua smiled and said, "Thank you for your hospitality." ā€

"I—I'm going to prepare some refreshments, I'm out of company......" The young maid ran away with a red face.

"It was Joshua who charmed a young girl. Reilly took a scroll out of his pocket and drew a five-pointed star on it.

"Good, so powerful......" Looking at the dense "stars" on the scroll, Kross was stunned.

"Joshua, what's going on?!" said Steele angrily.

"Mr. Reilly......" said Joshua helplessly, "this joke is not funny at all. ā€

"I'm not kidding, these are girls who are smitten by you. Reilly said with a serious face: "Although you only have one girl in your heart, it can't stop others from liking you." ā€

"Is that so?" and suddenly found himself so popular, even Joshua couldn't help but be a little complacent.

"Joshua, don't put on a squinting face!" said Estelle, disgruntled.

"Estelle, you've misunderstood......"

"By the way, how did Joshua know that Duke Dunant was here?" Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Kolos changed the subject understandingly.

"I'm just trying my luck. Joshua looked at her gratefully and said, "Last night, we heard what Kilbat had to say. Mayor Delmont wants to build high-end villas and sell them to the richest at home and abroad, isn't Duke Dunant an ideal customer?"

"Obviously, we had a lot of luck. Reilly said with a smile.

"What a ghost...... "Estelle pouted," said Estelle, pouting, "and that the mayor had invited us." ā€

"I'm not lying. Joshua smiled and said, "Didn't Mayor Delmont tell us the first time we met, and if the Ravens get us in trouble again, just come here to find him." Last night, those guys were hypnotized and became accomplices to the criminals, and we were very troubled. ā€

"Ah...... It seems that there is such a thing. Hearing Joshua's words, Estelle remembered the scene of that day.

"Hehe, we're really invited. Kloss said with a smile.

"So, let's not be polite, let's go directly to the hall on the second floor. Reilly nodded and said.

At this time, Duke Dunant was already half-drunk in the living room of the mayor's mansion: "Well, that sounds good...... Luan is indeed a good place to buy a villa. ā€

"Hehe, that's true. Mayor Delmont said with a smile: "In this high-end villa area, we have specially reserved a luxury home in a great location for you, I am sure you will like it......"

"He~he~he...... The mayor is really understanding. Duke Dunant smiled and said, "Money is not a problem, you just need to prepare a mansion worthy of the royal family." Well, I want to think about it...... At least to the level of your mansion. ā€

"Your Highness, please think again...... Philip said anxiously, "without consulting Her Majesty, you will use such a large amount of money without authorization......"

"Shut up, Philip, I'm the next king!" said Duke Dunant dissatisfiedly, "It's normal to buy a villa!"

"I knew the Duke would have a different vision. Delmon said, "I'll prepare the contract later, and until then, let's have another drink!"

"Oh......"

"Excuse me, we are members of the Guerrilla Association. At this time, the four of them broke into the living room.

Seeing the visitor, Mayor Delmont's face changed: "You are ......"

"We have something to report to the Mayor, so we hurried over. Reilly said with a smile.

"It's a bothersome behavior. Mayor Delmont said with an unkind face, "As guerrillas, you should also know what politeness is, right? I am discussing a very important matter with the Duke, please come back another day." ā€

"We are also sorry to disturb the two of you. However, this matter is really urgent. Joshua said, "In fact, we have found the arsonist. ā€

"So that's it...... Then there is no way. Mayor Delmont thought for a moment and said, "Lord Duke, can I leave for a while?"

"No, just say it here. Duke Dunant waved his hand and said, "I want to hear what it is."

"But, but ......"

"Since the Duke has spoken, please ask His Excellency the Mayor to give him a face. Reilly smiled and said, "It's not something to be seen for. ā€

"You...... Never mind. Mayor Delmont thought for a moment and said, "I heard that Dean Teresa was attacked again, is the other party an accomplice of the arsonist?"

"The likelihood is high. Joshua said with a solemn face, "Unfortunately, we were not able to catch all the prisoners. ā€

"Yes...... Mayor Delmont nodded, "There are still some fish that have slipped through the net, but it's good to catch the prisoner." So, who is the prisoner?"

"Well...... Istelle smiled and said, "I suppose Mr. Mayor can guess who the culprit is?"

"Yes...... Mayor Delmont said regretfully, "I thought they would one day change their ways...... Now it seems that this is just wishful thinking on my part. ā€

"Huh, who is the Mayor talking about?" Astelle was a little confused.

"Do you need to ask? Of course it's the Raven gang. Mayor Delmont said with a smile.

"Those guys aren't prisoners. Reilly shook his head and said, "Strictly speaking, they should be considered victims. ā€

"W-What?!" Mayor Delmont's face changed, and Reilly's reaction was completely unexpected.

"The culprit of this incident is ......," said Esther, after a pause, "Kilbart, ......the mayor's secretary!
