Chapter Fifty-Six: The Daughter of Madness and Madness!
Coaster, Aemond two dead?!
So fast!
Arthur's eyes narrowed as he looked at Malinda.
If he hadn't found the clues, he might have guessed that the people who were going to do it were the insatiable nobles, or that some of the two chambers of commerce in Coaster and Aemond were ready to take advantage of the chaos to get the chamber of commerce, and he might even guess that it was some guys who were originally unqualified, but suddenly discovered this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
But for now, it could only be Malinda!
Look no further than Edwin!
How did the coachman, who had never left 6 White Bird Street, know so quickly and accurately that Coaster and Aemond had died?
The other party's just right report is enough to make people think about it.
In addition, when the other party reported, Malinda's frank performance again made Arthur think more.
'For the sake of the title of Baron Camir, No. 6 White Bird Street has long been targeted by those guys, and if the death of Coaster and Aemond is 'accidentally' spread, what will Coaster, Aemond's two chambers of commerce and some guys who are not qualified in the first place do?
They sent more people to stare at 6 Shiratori Street!
They're going to keep an eye on it!
Because they want to sit down, it is Malinda who killed Coaster and Aemond, who already had a grudge in anger and now instigated her own maids!
Kick Malinda out of the race for the title of Baron Kemir!
And even more! ā
As such speculation appeared in his heart, Arthur couldn't help but squint slightly.
He discovered Malinda's brilliance, a woman who gave the imagination of those with bad intentions and disguised her true purpose with the word 'impossible'.
Arthur could have imagined that these stalkers would even jokingly guess if Malinda had done it when they guessed which side had killed Coaster and Aemond, and then were refuted by the people around them.
But they don't know that their guess is true!
Man, it's really Malinda who killed her!
In order to lure them all out and kill them all!
Malinda's target is Coaster and Aemond.
But Coaster and Edmond weren't all targets for Malinda.
Malinda wants more!
And he?
Tonight's dazzling him must be an excellent bait!
So the question arises, what can he gain in it?
And also......
Where does Malinda's faith come from?
You know, this isn't a small fight.
Involving two large chambers of commerce and a large number of small and medium-sized chambers of commerce, even nobles have to be careful.
'Huh? ā
'Aristocrats? ā
Suddenly, a guess appeared in Arthur's heart, and his eyes involuntarily looked at Malinda, who was eating egg tarts, and it just so happened that Malinda also looked at Arthur.
The two looked at each other, the corners of their mouths turned up, and their eyes flashed with a terrifying gaze at the same time.
The gaze was like a sword, cold and deadly.
But there are some differences.
Malinda is more inclined to be excited.
Arthur, on the other hand, tended to be calm.
Edwin, who was on the side, saw this scene, immediately lowered his head, and continued.
"As you have commanded, the deaths of Coster and Aemond have been revealed, and those of us known to them have remained in their respective positions at 6 White Bird Street.
Just now, in addition to the original stalkers, there are new stalkers, and the number is constantly increasing! ā
"Hey, the fish bites!"
"Come on! Come out all of them! ā
"I really can't wait!"
Malinda picked up her pipe again, and the bitterness of the tobacco and the sweetness of the tart began to mingle in her mouth, making the lady more and more energetic.
As soon as she smelled the smell of gunpowder, she could barely suppress it.
Right now?
I can finally let it go!
Although there were some twists and turns, the plan became smoother -
She knew what kind of virtue these guys were, so after Anna left, she had already started to prepare.
She showed weakness by shrinking the manpower of some industries, including No. 6 Shiratori Street.
Let those who see the needle think that they have been overwhelmed by accidental exposure, and have to choose a conservative defensive state.
Make those guys think it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Even, in order to cooperate with these people, she also created opportunities for each other.
Those guys didn't disappoint her.
They seized the opportunity!
They naively thought that she was thinking about how to minimize the impact of the deaths of Coaster and Aemond.
After all, from the other party's point of view, the deaths of Coster and Aemond were completely unfavorable to her.
In order to calm things down, she will definitely come forward to meet Sheriff Maltz to settle such troubles.
At the very least, send a representative.
Otherwise, once the incident ferments, let alone competing for the title of Baron Kemir, I am afraid that her original situation will be impacted.
And this event does not need to ferment for too long, just a few hours, or even less, is enough.
What about them?
They blocked her people during this time, catalyzing or letting the events ferment.
As for her own initiative?
That couldn't be better!
Without the auction she presided over, it will inevitably attract some suspicion, which will only make the deaths of Coster and Aemond ferment faster.
Then, they can unite more people to resist the so-called Long Night Lady's salon and expel her completely!
In the same way, these people will definitely send a large number of men to keep an eye on Arthur, who will shine tonight.
And all of this is what Malinda wants!
Because, under her guidance, these people were prepared in a hurry, and they must be understaffed, and when they stared at Arthur again, the other party's already not rich manpower would definitely be stretched.
So, for the sake of this opportunity, these people will definitely mobilize the reserves at home.
So much so that the nest is empty!
At that moment, it was time for the people she sent out early to do it!
From start to finish, her goal is who they are!
Thinking of this, the lady looked at Arthur.
"Arthur, I need you to do me a favor - you need to help me go to Sheriff Maltz and inform him of my kindness.
Most of all, of course, this will allow you to help me lure away the guys outside 6 Shiratori Street!
Then, the men I assigned before will be able to raid their lair!
It's dangerous, but I'll pay you a lot of money! ā
Malinda didn't hide it, and said very frankly.
For one, she really needs Arthur's cooperation.
Second, she knew that Arthur had discovered her plan.
Malinda once again has a new understanding of the cleverness of the collaborator in front of her.
She appreciated this cleverness, and even more appreciated Arthur's indifferent reaction at the moment.
She thinks she and Arthur can work better together.
Because, she is confident that the high reward she gives is enough to impress Arthur.
"What kind of high pay?"
Arthur asked with a smile.
"Secret Arts!"
"It's a secret art in the true sense of the word, no longer just knowledge!"
"Moreover, I promised you that the mysterious knowledge equivalent to [Swift Bird Swordsmanship] will also be given to you along with the secret technique tomorrow night at the latest!"
"Of course, and the compensation you just helped me with - however, I can't give you the golden ticket, real estate, etc., for the time being, I need to give most of these things in exchange for the support of that person."
Malinda said seriously.
That, Malinda didn't say it explicitly.
But Arthur had already guessed it.
Count of South Los!
Who else but the Count of South Los would have given this lady such confidence?
Moreover, compared to Maltz's struggle, the lady clearly had a deep friendship with the Count of Nanlos, so much so that the lady was sure that the Count of Nanlos would be on her side.
'Wait! ā
'Lady Long Night's auction, this earl won't have a stake, right?' ā
Arthur suddenly thought of this.
What kind of 'friendship' is the strongest.
Nature is mixed with interests!
If this is the case, Malinda may be the other party's white glove, and it may also be the other party's black glove by the way.
Then, the guessing Arthur suddenly thought of another possibility.
This may have taken him by surprise!
And that'sā
Isn't it the Earl's own affair?
