Chapter 765: 243. Lin can’t afford to pay_3
“I thought this was a secret exchange…”
Selena smiled at him and said:
“Charnel, this exchange is absolutely confidential. Do you remember the matter I mentioned to you about clearing the Tide Spy within your family? Jarvis can aplish this task.”
Lape Chanal’s breath stagnated, and his confusion intensified in his eyes.
He furrowed his brow even tighter. While scrutinizing Nnd Lee, his expression was somewhat serious, but he didn’t seem angry or offended, obviously possessing good temperament:
“It’s not that I doubt your credibility, Selena. But this Enforcement Wizard is only a First Rank Wizard.”
“Do you remember the three spies caught by your younger son at seast week?” Selena asked.
“Yes, I know about that. It was said that the person who caught the three spies was a Deep-sea Wizard named Hadley Grant and a First Rank Enforcement Wizard named Mario.
“Oh, wait…First Rank Enforcement Wizards are rare in the Suman Archipgo.”
Lape Chanal realized, his gaze shifted from Nnd Lee with less confusion and more amazement:
“Could it be that the First Rank Enforcement Wizard named Mario is you?”
“Yes, Mr. Charnel.” Nnd Lee replied:
“You should have heard about my achievements and efficiency in catching spies. My performance at sea has also been consistently stable. I just took a turn around the Cave of Spreading Moss near Starfall Sea and found several spies for you. I think this is enough to prove my talent in this area.”
Selena added:
“Why don’t you give Jarvis a try? He has never failed nor wronged anyone in his investigation of spies.”
Lape Chanal leaned back in his chair and began to ponder.
The secret talk skipped the pleasantries and went straight to the point because of Nnd Lee’s presence.
Lape Chanal had to organize the information rted to Nnd Lee in his mind and carefully sift through it.
Nnd Lee and Selena gave him time to think.
Both were calm and not worried about Lape Chanal potentially rejecting their suggestions.
Selena specialized in liaising with wizard forces. She had the annual arrest warrant and bounty task statistics data in her hands.
Looking at the statistics, the frequency of Tide Spy invasions in the Charnel Family could be described as dominating the whole ind.
Undoubtedly, Nnd Lee’s presence handed Lape Chanal a sharp knife to eliminate spies.
There were only two possible reasons for Lape Chanal to refuse…
“Well, both of you, I have my concerns.” Lape Chanal said:
“I can assure you that my family and I have not colluded with the Dread Sail Pirate Nation. However, there are rumors that after Dickler Fegan of the Pang Family was ndered by the Dread Sail Pirate Nation, he received some unusual treatment from the Enforcement Wizards. I am worried that the same thing will happen to me and my family.”
Nnd Lee was prepared for this concern, looking to Selena, he passed the right to speak to the elegantdy.
Selena had not signed a confidentiality agreement with Dickler Fegan.
What’s more, she had evidence in hand that could prove the truth of the matter.
“You cannot be deceived by rumors, Charnel.” Selena handed over the letter of Dickler Fegan’s surrender and admission of defeat:
“Please read it. This letteres from Dickler Fegan’s own handwriting and has theplete event process.”
Lape Chanal took the letter.
As Rale Charnel read about Dickler Fagen admitting his collusion with the Dread Sail Pirate Nation and his attempt to corrupt Selena, his hand holding the letter trembled slightly:
“It’s hard to… believe. An heir of the Pang family would actually join the Dread Sail Pirate Nation. There must be something worth it for him to do this…”
“It is said to be several high-quality deep-sea mineral veins hidden under the sea,” Selena exined:
“The estimated value of these veins is more than 2.5 billion Ulnas gold coins.”
“2.5 billion, the profit of the Pang family for a year. No wonder Dickler Fagen was tempted,” Rale Charnel shook his head and sighed:
“It seems that the rumors that appeared on my desk were deliberately released by Dickler Fagen to save his family’s reputation.”
Rale Charnel handed the letter back.
The letter had dispelled his first reason for refusing, but it was still not enough for him to ept the proposal.
Rale Charnel weighed his words and said:
“I am worried that the investigation of spies may involve the secrets of the family, especially the client information and trade information of the Charnel family. This part is very sensitive. It’s not that I don’t trust the character of both of you. It’s just… I’m sorry for being rude, what I mean is that Jarvis’s strength may be weak when facing cunning and strong enemies. He might be forced to leak some of the family’s secrets he sees and hears during the investigation of the spies.”
Selena and Nnd Lee looked at each other, casting admiring nces at Nnd.
Rale Charnel’s second point had also been predicted by Nnd Lee, and a countermeasure had been prepared in advance.
“You don’t need to worry about that, Charnel. Jarvis will not enter the territory of you or your family when he investigates the spies,” Selena said:
“Moreover, if it is not for arresting the criminals immediately, he won’t appear at any of Charnel family’s bases or sailing ships.”
Rale Charnel was visibly puzzled:
“Without entering the family’s territory or boarding the ships, how would he investigate the whereabouts of the spies?”
Nnd Lee interjected:
“I have ‘Omniscient,’ Sir. I can deduce a person’s background, identity, position, and potential danger from simple items on them.”
“Omniscient…” Rale Charnel didn’t quite believe Nnd’s words.
Nnd expected his reaction and began to demonstrate his extraordinary abilities.
In Selena’s study, the sound of Nnd analyzing Rale Charnel’s clothing, hair wax, key ring, magic pouch, boots, and other external things filled the room.
This spection led Rale Charnel to involuntarily exim in astonishment.
He even took out some of his cherished small objects and handed them to Nnd for analysis one by one.
Selena quietly observed from one side, knowing that the secret talk was almost a sure win at this point.
No one could question or refute Nnd’s extraordinary abilities.
Nnd’s performance in rooting out the spies was nothing short of miraculous, bound to win over Rale Charnel.
For Nnd himself, there were two reasons he decided to help Rale Charnel identify the spies.
On the one hand, it was to gain the favor of the Charnel family; and on the other hand, it was to broaden his channels for obtaining pirate intelligence.
The spies in the Charnel family were there to dig up trade information on the sea, and they were responsible for notifying the pirates.
Catch them, deconstruct them, and the patterns of pirate incidents and theirmunication methods can be mastered.
From then on, Nnd would be able to arrive at the scene of pirate raids before the support fleet of the Deep Sea Branch.
