Mystery: Start with the Reader

In the early morning, when the special envoy Mr. Irving walked out of the bedroom refreshed, the embassy's confidential secretary, Johnathan Foles with a mustache, was already waiting in the office.

"Your Excellency the Special Envoy...Mr. Surrey has arrived." Johnson stepped forward and whispered.

"I know." Irving nodded casually, as if he was not as interested as when he talked about Sarri in the past.

After all, what he really wanted to get from the Surrey family had been obtained without anyone noticing his true purpose.

Seeing him acting like this, Secretary Johnson became a little anxious and said hurriedly: "Your Excellency, Special Envoy, although I destroyed the embassy's ceremony room, with that gentleman's attainments in ritual magic, it won't take long for him to see that The question... I’m afraid it will arouse suspicion by then.”

"Okay, Johnson... don't worry, I will take care of Surrey's matter." Owen replied unhurriedly, and then asked, "Where is Surrey's granddaughter? Have you sent anyone there? Catch her?"

"After Mr. Sarri entered the embassy, ​​I gave a big order, and specifically followed your instructions, telling them to capture him alive." Although Secretary Johnson didn't understand why Mr. Ambassador paid attention to this, he still answered his question. .

"Very good, you have done a great job." Special Envoy Owen praised meaningfully, then suddenly looked at the corner of the room and said with a smile, "Look, isn't Mr. Surrey's matter solved?"

Secretary Johnson subconsciously followed Owen's line of sight, and then saw a "girl" with black hair and blue eyes, clear and beautiful, and an indescribable charm standing there. In her hand, she was holding a An elderly gentleman in formal attire.

However, this gentleman had black blood oozing from the corners of his eyes, his face was pale, his lips were purple, and he had no breath at all... he was obviously dead.

"Witch...that's...Mr. Surrey?!" Johnson's surprise was beyond words. After all, all his and the special envoy's previous plans were to capture Mr. Surrey and let him "collude with Prince Edsac and the Witch." "Crime committed in the smog"

For this reason, he did not hesitate to use the political power of his family to cooperate with the political power behind Mr. Special Envoy to suppress the Surrey family with all his strength... just to force him to confess his crime...

But now, he is dead? ! In this way, the effect of taking the blame will be greatly reduced. Not to mention whether Loen will be satisfied, the church will probably not be satisfied either.

"Your Excellency, Special Envoy, why did you let this witch kill Mr. Surrey? This is different from the plan!" Johnson vaguely noticed that something was wrong, took a few steps back, and asked in a panic.

"Haha! Dear Mr. Johnson Fulais, if Sarri is not dead, how can you, the 'chief culprit', throw the charge of colluding with the witch on his head? How can you compete with him to become the next Ambassador of Intis? The position?" Owen laughed and said pointedly.

"Mr. Owen, what do you mean?!" Upon hearing the special envoy's words, Secretary Johnson's face turned pale. Sensing the crisis, he shouted loudly and took out the extraordinary gun he carried with him.

"Haha, the saint of the Surrey family in the Church of Steam was just killed by the witch, and Cotton Surrey was pushed out to take the blame... Do you think everyone in the Church of Steam is a fool?

"So there must be a convincing reason for such a thing...

“For example, the embassy’s confidential secretary, Johnathan Foles, secretly contacted Edsac and Baron Larry, and colluded with the Aurora Society and the Witch Cult to create the Great Smog Incident.

“In order to get rid of his guilt, the confidential secretary also conspired to frame Mr. Sarri, who competed with him for the position of ambassador to Loon.

"He used the resources of the Fulais family at the cost of giving up many benefits, and united with other major families in Intis to suppress the political power of the Surrey family. At the same time, he let the colluded witch assassinate the Surrey family in the 'Steam Church' 'A saint who serves as an archbishop.

"After everything was ready, Johnson finally killed 'Coton Surrey' and forged evidence to hand him over to Roen and the church as the 'mastermind' to take the blame..."

Having said this, Owen smiled and looked at his confidential secretary,

"What do you think of a script like this, Mr. Johnathan Foles?"

After hearing these words, Johnson's face suddenly turned from pale to red, and the veins on his neck protruded. He raised his gun and pointed it at Owen, saying hatefully:

"So, you've been using me from the beginning? How does this benefit you?!"

Owen didn't care at all about the extraordinary weapon in his hand. He just shook his head and said contemptuously:

“Have you not been in contact with Baron Larry?

“Have you not met Prince Edsac’s butler?

“Didn’t you plot against Mr. Surrey?

“Didn’t you send someone to arrest Mr. Surrey’s granddaughter?

"Didn't you deliberately remove the military attache who has a good relationship with Mr. Sarri and leave the embassy in advance?

“Although the things you have done seem to be handled cleanly, they all left traces!

"Once the 'Church of Steam' investigates carefully, we will definitely find clues!

"And all this is just because you are stupid... The Fulais family is really in decline, and you actually let a fool like you control so many of the family's resources.

"It is said that it is because you are similar to one of your ancestors? Haha, it seems that your ancestor is also equally stupid!

"As for my purpose? Does this matter have anything to do with me? I have always been a bystander."

"You bastard!" Confidential Secretary Johnson's face was ferocious and he was about to pull the trigger without hesitation.

But at this moment, he suddenly fell into a daze and wondered: Why should I be angry? I did do these things... Oh, by the way, I did these things behind Mr. Owen's back...

Well, next, I have to try to hide it from him.

Thinking of this, he seemed to ignore Owen and the Witch in front of him, passed Sari's body directly, and walked out of the office.

It was only then that "White Saint" Catalina said: "You were deliberately making him 'angry' just now? This kind of use of desire and emotion...you used the sealed object that controlled me again. ? But to deal with him as a Sequence 6, as a 'Manipulator', you can also do it with your own 'Hypnosis' ability, right?"

"You don't need to test anything, I have absolute trust in you..." Owen glanced at the witch first, and then explained without reservation, "My hypnosis can indeed do it... but it can't be hidden from me, the church. Inspection will leave flaws, which is not conducive to subsequent arrangements.”

"You still want to keep him?" Catalina asked in surprise. She thought that the secretary would lose its use value after taking the blame.

"Didn't he send someone to arrest Sari's granddaughter? After she is captured, I will find an opportunity to let her know the truth, and then deliberately let her go and let her return to the family to expose Johnson's conspiracy."

At this point, Owen raised the corner of his mouth confidently and continued, "If she is someone who knows how to repay kindness, I can develop a closer relationship with her, which will make it easier for me to 'control' her.

"When she learns the truth in the future, will she suffer an emotional breakdown?"

"You are such a scumbag!" Catalina clicked her tongue, but she had seen too many things like this, and she couldn't be touched by such things. She just asked in confusion, "What are you doing this for?"

"Of course it's to provoke infighting among the major families in Intis! After Sarri's granddaughter returns, the Sarri family will definitely become mortal enemies with the Fulais family. As long as the slightest provocation can make the political situation chaotic." Owen laughed. explained.

"What good does this do to you? Your family will also be involved?" Catalina still can't figure out the key.

"This is in line with the development of the times...

"Besides, are you sure that's really my family?"

Owen stood up as he spoke, looked at Thordrak Palace through the window, and continued:

"I easily caused Intis to fall into internal fighting... In the eyes of George III, will I be an excellent tool and internal agent to disrupt the enemy country?

"In order to win over me, he will definitely make some investments...

"For example, agree to my marriage request."
