Chapter 47: Derivation and Arrangement (Seeking Follow-up)
Does Georges Morrier have a problem?
Of course.
In the early morning, when he hurried back to Benin City after hearing the news, his expression remained calm after seeing the disabled butler lying in the hospital bed and half of the mansion in ruins.
It was so calm that the police officer in charge of reporting couldn't help but wonder if the city lord was crazy because the blow was too big...
Of course, George was not crazy, after learning that his only son was robbed by the bandits, he could even hold his wife who had passed out, and then calmly analyzed:
"The bandits are here for money, Al shouldn't be in danger of his life for the time being, I'm going to raise money, and inform the other police officers not to disturb the bandits during this period..."
"Yes!" The police officer left after receiving the order, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"He is worthy of being the lord of a city, even if his son is kidnapped, he can still stay calm. That alone is better than all the officials in Benin City..."
It's just that he didn't notice that the moment he turned around, Georges Mourier's body trembled slightly.
......
After settling his wife and his subordinates, George returned to the mansion alone, which had been sealed off.
Of course, the police officers in charge of guarding did not dare to intercept the city lord, so they hurriedly let him go.
The moment he walked through the door of the mansion, the smile on George's face disappeared and was replaced by a deep, cold gloom, and his eyes shot two terrifying glances.
Who did it!?
In an instant, several names came to his mind, and they were finally ruled out one by one.
At the beginning, he took retreat as advance, and after he was transferred to Benin City, there were people there who secretly helped him, and his political achievements were remarkable, so naturally some people in his family were jealous.
The eyes are red, but George also knows that those playboys who are drunk and dreaming of death under the protection of the family absolutely do not have the guts.
Is it really an unknown gang of bandits?
George thinks this idea is ridiculous, he himself is a cautious person, and the identity information of everyone in Benin City is in his hands, is it possible that there are bandits who can fall from the sky?
They disguised themselves as bandits, and the kidnapping of their son Al was just a pretense, but in fact, they had other plans...
Thinking of this, George went to the basement.
There is a secret hidden enough to ruin him, and if the matter is revealed, there is no need for a trial, and the people over there will kill him first...
When he pushed open the door of the warehouse, George hoped that the other party was a gang of bandits who came for money.
But reality made him fall into an ice cave.
The few mana condensers lent to him over there were all destroyed. The holy water stored in the basement was also broken and sprinkled all over the ground.
Who is it!?
George wanted to look up to the sky and roar, his handsome face turned red from his anger, and even his eyes turned red.
The killing intent gushing out of his heart made him desperate to kill at the moment, and he wanted to grab that group of people and tear off the flesh on their bodies piece by piece with his own hands, tearing them to pieces!
β......β
After a few minutes, the blood-red in his eyes finally faded, and his expression returned to normal, except for a trace of hideousness in the corners of his eyes.
He walked out of the mansion in silence and said to the guards on guard: "There is no need to be vigilant here, let's all go back."
After a pause, a hideous look flashed in George's eyes: "Also, go and prepare the ransom immediately......"
ββββββββ
"Will he give in?"
In the camp room, Li Yueru couldn't help frowning after listening to Su Ye's analysis.
"Yes, he will pay the ransom obediently." Su Ye smiled and added, "If he doesn't want to lose his life because of this."
He kidnapped the city lord's son before, which was both a temptation and a choice question for the other party.
Georges Morrier was in collusion with the Elstark Order, which Su Ye determined when he saw the scene in the basement.
All that remains is to judge how deeply involved this city lord is.
Is he a member of the Order of Elstark himself, or is he just working with them?
This point remains to be investigated, but in any case, the other party probably does not want the matter to be revealed.
In order to cover up the secret, they can only treat Su Ye and them as ordinary kidnappers.
He would even be afraid that Su Ye and the others would be arrested by the police, and then the secrets of the basement would be made public during the interrogation...
Therefore, Georges Morrier had no choice but to relent, find a way to scrape together the ransom, and then send his trusted subordinates to kill people during the transaction.
"This matter... It's dangerous. After listening to Su Ye's inference, Li Yueru frowned slightly.
She is not good at thinking, but just listening to Su Ye's deduction, she can guess that the night of the transaction between the two parties will inevitably be full of dangers.
"So the fewer people who go, the better." Su Ye said calmly, "You can stay in the camp." Sean will keep an eye on his surroundings at all times, and if someone breaks into the camp, there are still bear-man warriors to resist..."
After Ochla learned what happened, she was so angry that she smashed the table on the spot, and immediately expressed her willingness to assist Su Ye and them in their actions.
If it weren't for Su Ye to stop her, it is estimated that she would dare to single-handedly enter Benin City with a spear and stab the city lord to death in public...
Thinking about it, the orcs struggled to resist the attack of the demonic beasts in the forest, but as a result, the city lord of Benin City guarding behind him was unclear with the enemies, and anyone who learned about it would explode in anger.
"You're going alone?" Li Yueru's worries were all written on her face.
Since the last misunderstanding was resolved, she had become more and more grateful to Su Ye in her heart. Therefore, even when she heard that Su Ye had decided to start a war against the city lord, she chose to help Su Ye without hesitation, because she didn't want the latter to risk being injured...
What's more, Mama Chu also seems to like Brother Su very much, and usually always shouts for her to talk to Brother Su together...
"Don't worry, I'm a very life-loving person." Su Ye felt the care and said with a smile: "I'm ready, and the scene also asked Sean to decorate..."
Chu Xuan, the sword spirit who was silent on the side, suddenly spoke: "The old body is also going."
Su Ye shook his head: "No, you have to stay in the camp."
He was worried that this side of the camp might also be attacked that night, and he could rest assured that Chu Xuan would stay here.
As for themselves... Hehe.
A few explosive swords with dozens of magic crystals in his hand have not yet been unsheathed.
As long as the other party dares to do it, they will definitely have no return!
It's really not good, he still has that heavyweight "bomb" with a hundred magic crystals......
After this thing was forged at that time, Su Ye was frightened for a long time.
Now, it's his opponent's turn to be scared...
Knock knock
Just when Su Ye was secretly proud, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the house, and before he could step forward to open the door, the voices of the two women had already come through the wooden door-
"Who are you?"
"Lamia? There is even a Lamia here, can I take a closer look at your eyes? β
