Chapter 331: Assassination?
There was a "thunderclap" explosion, and a clear silver-white lightning bolt appeared out of thin air, smashing right on the head of the male extraordinaire who was trying to escape.
This attack has the power of "order" attached to it, and there is no room to dodge at all.
The moment the hairs on his body exploded, the terrified male extraordinaire immediately turned into a delicately shaped paper figure, and the real body flashed by with the firelight, and it was closer to the exit of the gate.
The paper man was unexpectedly scorched by lightning and scattered all over the place, revealing the man's extraordinary ways.
The way of the "soothsayer", could it be those guys from the "Esoteric Society"...... Louise quietly watched the battle, a little surprised for a moment.
Hadn't the members of the "Esoteric Order" just arrived in Beckland a few days ago, how could they have made a plan in such a short period of time, and even put it into action...... What is Crane doing, didn't I let him observe secretly, why did no news come here? The attraction of Fort Yi to the "soothsayer" path, shouldn't it?
If Crane knew what Louise was thinking at the moment, he would have cried out loudly, although he did not spend all his energy tracking down the members of the "Esoteric Society", he was not idle!
On the other side of Beckland, Mr. "Fool" at this time is cooperating with Miss Sharon and Marich in a hunt against members of the "Rose School......
Surveying the battlefield, Louise suddenly had the illusion of surprise, and she found that the fleeing member of the "Esoteric Order" seemed to have no intention of resisting even the slightest...... Of course, if he resists, he will most likely die quickly.
He was bent on escaping as the right thing to do, and he could delay long enough.
Louise seemed to figure it out, she knew very well that the "Esoteric Order" had sent Beckland not only to the extraordinary person in front of her, and that their purpose was not to assassinate Duke Negan, but to seize something.
At this moment, the other members of the "Esoteric Order" may have secretly seized the real target.

The extraordinary person in front of him is probably just playing the role of an "outcast...... Of course, if Duke Negan hadn't prepared in advance, he would probably have been just a "bait", easily creating chaos at the ball, and then fleeing the scene.
It's a pity that in this situation, it is difficult for him to run away.
Sure enough, although the members of the "Esoteric Society" who were on the verge of desperation had approached the exit of the gate, they were forced back by another extraordinary person with a grim face, and they were faced with the situation of being attacked on their backs.
Louise was a little surprised, because she recognized the extraordinary person who appeared later, he was the "Night Watchman" and the captain of Miss Dalie's team "Psychic".
Why is the Night Watch here? Shouldn't Duke Negan work with the "Substitute Punisher" or MI9?
No one can explain this to Louise, but the battle that was already destined for the end is coming to an end.
The member of the "Esoteric Order" made a final attempt, but it was to no avail, and in a short time he was captured alive and fell into a deep, baby-like sleep.
Duke Negan watched the whole battle with cold eyes, and finally waved his hand, signaling for the people to be escorted down for the time being.
The "seal" was then retrieved by the Night Watch team, and the spiritual fluctuations that enveloped the ball hall vanished, and most of the guests woke up as if they had just woken up, completely unaware that an extraordinary battle had ended.
Their memories are still stuck in Duke Negan's angry speeches, except that, like Louise, he concealed his identity as an extraordinary person and pretended to be a guest of ordinary people...... She believed that she was definitely not an exception, not to mention the dean Russell who was moving his hands and feet not far away, and his performance just now seemed much more "funny".
"What's the situation now?" Audrey, who was beside her, was finally able to speak, and immediately asked in a low voice.
Louise frowned and said:
"Shouldn't you know better? What did Earl Hall say to you? ”
Audrey replied naturally, "Father only told me that there were people at this ball who wanted to assassinate Duke Negan. ”
Uh, yes, the assassin hasn't made a move, and he's standing right in front of you, well, holding your hand...... Louise silently let go of her right hand holding Audrey, and whispered:
"The Extraordinary One who was captured was a member of the 'Esoteric Order', and their target in Beckland was Duke Negan."
Miss Justice bowed slightly, remembering that Louise had shared this information at the "Tarot Society", and she remembered that Mr. "World" had shown considerable interest in it.
It turned out that the members of the "Esoteric Order" wanted to assassinate Duke Negan, just like the "Pirate General" Zielingers, could it be that Zielingers was also sent by the "Esoteric Society"...... Audrey unfolded a rich association, and finally pursed her lips and asked out loud:
"So what now?"
Louise was pleased with her half-truth-and-half-lie answer, and the misfortune was successful, but what she was more curious about at the moment was:
"How did Duke Negan learn that someone was going to assassinate him? If the member of the 'Esoteric Order' who was captured alive had been made clear about his purpose, would Mr. Duke be more vigilant, and would it have made his assassination more difficult......"
She had many doubts in her mind, but it was obviously not a good time to think, so she gathered her thoughts, turned her eyes to the high platform in the center of the ball, and replied:
"It's up to Duke Negan to end up."
During the time when the two were talking in secret, many of the guests in the hall were already talking about it, and it seemed chaotic.
Although they didn't know exactly what was going on, there was obviously a reason for the collective loss just now, and as the upper echelons of this country, they were no strangers to the existence of extraordinary powers...... In the end, everyone's eyes were once again focused on Duke Negan.
In the eyes of the Duke, it was an unforgivable thing that he had been assassinated repeatedly, and he must have suspected that someone was secretly targeting him.
With the keen sense of a politician, he sensed that the atmosphere in Rune had been a little delicate recently, with the struggle between many interest groups becoming increasingly fierce, and sadly, the aristocratic class he represented was slowly decaying.
Therefore, he chose the most forceful means to hold tonight's ball and make it a trap, not only to catch the person who tried to assassinate him and find the real "murderer" behind it, but also for an equally important reason:
He wanted to prove to everyone that Duke Negan was not too old to walk, and tonight's action was a powerful announcement.
As Duke Negan, who received a strict aristocratic education from an early age, as a soldier and as a politician, he was excellent, however, his perception at a higher level was superficial.
He didn't know who his real enemy was, and he couldn't even imagine who the real enemy was.
That's the saddest thing.
But at this moment, he was still in a good mood, took a glass of champagne from the hand of the waiter behind him, raised his glass and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have taken your heart and soul to apologize to you for your personal shock."
