Staring at Busson, she asked slowly, “Tell me who you are.”
Hearing the question, Busson was slightly stunned, with a trace of struggle in his eyes, but the struggle quickly disappeared. He replied mechanically, “I’m a member of the Brandon family. Twenty years ago, I was ordered to sneak into the Hyman family and win the trust of Marquis Hyman.”
Sure enough, that accident was a conspiracy designed by the Brandon family!
Hearing this, Marquis Hyman’s face darkened. While he was angry, he felt a little shocked. Was this the No. 9 team? Her means were really mysterious!
“What’s your relationship with the depraved organization?” After recording the identity of Busson, Karami continued to ask.
However, when he heard this question, Busson was stunned and fell into a daze.
After a pause, she asked, “What’s the mark of the depraved organization on the envelope?”
“I put the seal of the Hyman family on it in private, and then I gave it to Count Brandon.”
Busson said mechanically.
Ten minutes later, everyone came out of the cell where Busson was imprisoned.
Unfortunately, they didn’t get any useful information from Busson. After hypnosis and interrogation, they only knew that after Busson sealed the seal of the Hyman family, he handed the letter to Count Brandon. As for why there was a logo of the depraved organization, he had no idea at all.
Dorothy and the others interrogated Count Bazel and several other key figures in turn. However, they did not get any information about the depraved organization from several people. It was just that the logo of the depraved organization was found by Count Brandon, and he promised that they would not be involved. Besides, except for Count Brandon, the other members of the Brandon family didn’t know about the depraved organization at all.
Accompanied by Marquis Hyman, they arrived at the manor of the Brandon family.
“There is no trace of the depraved organization at all.” On the tallest pier wall of the manor, Karami said disappointedly with a frown.
“The depraved organization is meticulous and won’t leave many traces.”
Dorothy was not surprised at all. He had been investigating the depraved organization for so long, and had already known about its style of doing things. “It seems that we need to talk to that little guy named Locke Capet now.”
After all, Locke was the first person who came into contact with the depraved organization. He might know more about it.
In the morning, the air was fresh, and the bright sunshine sprinkled into the yard, making the whole yard more warm and pleasant.
After a night’s recovery, his face turned a little red and he was much better. During the interval of restoring practice, he also took a magic book and read it with Athena in the small yard.
Perhaps influenced by Athena and Locke, Thanatos also read the Icacia Continent novel with great interest. Of course, Sleipnir was still sleeping soundly on the lawn.
At present, all the copies of the magic books had been completed. Locke decided to return to Lister in the next two days.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
There was a knock on the door. Subconsciously, Thanatos stood up and went to open the door.
When she opened the door, he saw Mallory, Marquis Hyman and Dorothy behind them.
“Mr. Thanatos, we are here to visit Mr. Capet and Miss Athena.” Marquis Hyman said politely.
After casting a glance at them, Thanatos turned around and walked in.
Mallory had been here several times, so he knew clearly that they were invited to come in. Then he made a gesture of welcome to Dorothy and the others. “Please.”
Dorothy nodded with a smile. He was also very curious about the yard. Just now, he wanted to use the power of perception to see what was going on in the courtyard, but he was helpless. It seemed that there was a magic array in the courtyard, and the power of perception could not penetrate at all.
They soon entered the small yard.
The design was elegant. Looking around the courtyard, Dorothy was a little surprised. Although the yard was not big, it was as delicate as the imperial palace of King City!
When he saw Locke, Athena and Sleipnir lying on the ground, his eyes widened and his heart skipped a beat. As a level-7 practitioner, his perception power was tens of thousands of times more accurate than his eyes. As long as he wanted, he could see everything within a dozen miles clearly with his perception power. However, he couldn’t feel any energy from Locke and the others!
Not only Locke Capet and Athena, but also the man in ragged clothes who opened the door for them couldn’t be found through perception!
If he hadn’t seen Locke and Athena, he would never have known that there were still two people in the yard.
“Locke.” Seeing that Locke was still sitting on the chair and had no intention of standing up to greet the guests, Mallory was a little speechless. After a dry cough, he introduced, “These four are from King City.”
Locke nodded and closed the magic book in his hand. He looked up at the four middle-aged men with white hair and asked with a smile, “What can I do for you?”
The two young men behind them were level-5 mages, the slightly fat middle-aged man was a level-6 mage, and the leading white-haired middle-aged man was a level-7 mage. Locke had known their cultivation base before they came in.
Seeing the indifferent look on Locke’s face, Mallory felt a headache. Although Locke had the support of Athena, the four people in front of him had a strong background. The white-haired middle-aged man was as powerful as Athena. He was a level-7 practitioner. If there was a conflict, it would be bad for Locke.
Just when Mallory was about to remind Locke to pay attention to etiquette in case of neglect, Karami couldn’t help but remind him in a deep voice, “Locke Capet, pay attention to your attitude.”
Instead, Harrington casually pulled a chair and sat down.
With a faint smile, Locke glanced at her and asked, “Is there anything wrong with my attitude?”
“I’m afraid you have forgotten that I’m not your prisoner, and this is my territory.” He said in a cold tone.
Both Mallory and Marquis Hyman felt bitter in their hearts. They didn’t expect that they would be so hostile to each other as soon as they met.
Dorothy waved his hand, gesturing for Karami to leave.
Seeing Locke like this, Karami still wanted to scold him, but when she saw Dorothy give the order, she could only glare at Locke and stop talking.
“Hello, Mr. Capet. I’m the investigation team from King City. My name is Dorothy Sandy.” Dorothy smiled politely and didn’t get angry because of what happened just now.
“You can ask what you want to know as soon as possible. My time is precious.” Locke said impatiently. From beginning to end, although the white-haired middle-aged man looked very polite, there was a faint sense of arrogance. The arrogant look of the other party made him very unhappy.
Facing Locke’s cold attitude, Dorothy didn’t get angry. He turned around and took a look at Karami. She also took out the notebook and was ready to record.
“Mr. Capet, can you tell me in detail what happened in the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts?” Dorothy asked with a smile.
Leaning against the chair, Locke said slowly, “After repelling magical beasts that attacked the Dikas City, I planned to go to the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts to have a look and investigate what had happened. Then I met two men in black robes, and then I was chased by magical beasts, and then…”
Locke thought for a while and continued, “Then I escaped safely.”
Spreading his hands, Locke stopped and looked at them quietly.
Anything more?
A few seconds later, Dorothy and the others came to their senses. Even Dorothy couldn’t help twitching the corners of his mouth.
Can you be more perfunctory? Seeing that Locke took it for granted, both Mallory and Marquis Hyman had complex expressions on their faces.
