Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 116 New Script
Enraged by the assassination, Councillor Ibel decided to fight back, so Luke sent for Viscount Iscolan.
Viscount Iscolan, who was well prepared, arrived very quickly. A meeting that brought about a major turning point in the situation in Raging Waves City was held in an elegant small room in the Ibul Mansion.
All non-essential personnel leave.
Councillor Ibel, Luke (Inspector of Meteorite), Viscount Iscolan.
The new nobility, the "royal representatives", the hereditary nobility.
The three of them sat around a crystal round table. Outside the bay window next to them were a large number of imperial spies guarding the mansion.
Viscount Iskolan first expressed his condolences to Congressman Ibrahim: "I have been worried about your safety since I heard about what happened last night. If I were not afraid that my identity would cause trouble to you, I would definitely take the initiative to visit you.
Now that I see that you are in good health, I feel relieved."
Viscount Iscolan was a skilled actor, and there was no sign that he was the mastermind behind the assassination.
"Thank you for your concern, Lord Viscount." In front of a hereditary noble, Ibul imitated the noble's manners and words: "I have always admired the ancient Iscolan family. You and your ancestors witnessed the process of the city of Raging Waves from nothing to something, from small to big. The greatness of the city of Raging Waves is due to the contribution of the Iscolan family, but this contribution has been forgotten by the current managers of the city of Raging Waves.
I think...
Let Inspector Meteorite tell you the reason why I invited the Viscount here."
Ibul wanted to show the elegance and composure of a noble, but he still seemed a little unconfident and timid in front of Isklan.
Luke doesn't have those messy ideas that Ibel has.
"Congressman Ibel believed that it was Virgil who sent someone to assassinate him last night. Virgil was the one who stole the gold, so he wanted to kill him and then frame him.
Councillor Ibel wants to fight back, but our Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau does not have the strength to do so, so we would like to ask you and the Blade Brotherhood for help. "
Iscolan thought deeply for a while.
"Although I would like to help the councillor, this is not in the interests of the Brotherhood of the Blade. Virgil is a member of the City Council of Raging Waves. If we deal with him... it will cause great trouble for the Brotherhood."
Seeing that Viscount Iscolan was still pretending to be reserved, Luke said, "Yes! The position of the Blade Brotherhood in Raging Waves City is very sensitive. We have indeed embarrassed the Viscount.
I think it is better to let Councillor Ibel continue to rest at home under our protection, and when Virgil relaxes, we will find an opportunity to counterattack. "
Viscount Iscolan looked at Luke.
I thought: You are doing this on purpose!
I put so much effort into creating this situation, can't you just let me sell it at a high price!
Iscolan knew he could no longer play the game of retreat to advance.
“Inspector Meteorite is talking about a solution, but it will damage the prestige of Councillor Ibel and also give the initiative to Virgil.
I heard that Virgil just called an emergency council meeting and left in a hurry after the meeting. You should know that the government office's bounty on the elf Qingkong attracted some dangerous bounty hunters, some of whom were summoned by Virgil. "
Hearing this, Ibul couldn't help but yell, "He must be offering a bounty to kill me. Damn Virgil, he is deliberately messing up the City of Raging Waves.
The Elf Clear Sky, the Heart of the Red Dragon Nilkron, the Book of Disaster...even the destruction of the Thunder Tower, were all Virgil's conspiracies.
He betrayed the Empire, he is a traitor to the enemy country, his goal is to destroy the City of Raging Tide."
Virgil's call for bounty hunters really scared Senator Ibel, and he spoke incoherently, attributing everything that had happened recently in Raging Waves City to Virgil's conspiracy.
This caused Luke and Iscolan to look at each other .
This accusation is very interesting and has a lot of room for maneuver.
Iscolan responded very quickly and said, "Mr. Congressman, are you saying that all the recent crises in Fury City are the result of Virgil's conspiracy?"
"Yes, this is all Virgil's conspiracy. It must be his conspiracy. Otherwise, why hasn't he found the elf Qingkong yet? Not even a hair has been found.
I don't know whether the Elf Clear Sky was arranged by Virgil, but we all saw that he allowed the Elf Clear Sky to commit crimes continuously and create crises in the City of Rage.
Inspector Meteorite once accused Virgil of his position, but it did not attract enough attention. At that time, we all believed in Virgil's loyalty to the empire.
Now... Virgil used the bounty on the Elf Clear Sky to find the most famous bounty hunters in the world, who are also the most deadly criminals.
Doesn't that explain Virgil's theft of the gold and his framing of me? He betrayed the Empire, he wanted to destroy the richest city in the Empire, and throw the most shining jewel in your Majesty's crown into the sea. "
Ibel frantically imagined Virgil's crime of treason and forced an explanation for Virgil's "behavior".
This new scenario caused Iscolan to immediately overturn his original plan against Virgil. He echoed Ibul's accusation, "I admire your intuition about the security crisis of the Empire! Of course, Inspector Meteor discovered Virgil's treason earlier, and he is worthy of being a senior agent of the Imperial Secret Service.
In comparison, the response from our Brotherhood of the Blades was poor.
But our Brotherhood of the Blades is as loyal to the Empire as anyone else. My family exists to protect the Empire. The Isklan family and the Brotherhood of the Blades have an obligation to assist the Council of Raging Waves and the Imperial Secret Service to capture enemy spies who hold important positions in the Empire."
Luke thought.
I said Virgil had a crooked butt just to get more money out of him. Do you really want to charge him with treason and punish him to death...
Not only did they torture them to death, they also killed them and destroyed their hearts.
Luke said, "As an imperial spy, I judged that Senator Virgil's position was problematic. This was my intuition. I have already sent people to investigate Virgil's identity, but the evidence I have is not enough to prove that he betrayed the empire.
Congressman Virgil's identity makes it difficult for us to conduct a deeper investigation into him."
At this moment, Iscolan looked at Luke with a look of mutual admiration.
How shameless!
Iscolan waited for Luke to finish speaking, and then immediately continued, "I think we should not start our investigation of Virgil from the perspective of treason, as this will easily arouse his vigilance. If we start with smuggling, he will definitely relax his vigilance by relying on his position as a congressman and the support of the entire smuggling group.
If only we could keep Virgil under control.
I think with the ability of Inspector Meteorite and the Cape District Secret Service, we can definitely find evidence of Virgil's treason!"
Councillor Ibel and Viscount Isklan looked at Luke together.
They didn't dare to really frame Virgil for treason, so it would be better for the royal family to do such a thing.
Luke said straightforwardly: "Leave the rest to me. My people are...professional!"
