Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 113 Boca Vice President

Just thinking about it, Aiwass couldn't stretch himself a bit when Sherlock Hermes and James Moriarty, the old enemies in the original work, both suspended animation today.

However, Aiwass keenly captured a blind spot of vision here.

The reason why Lawyer York can directly confirm that Sherlock is dead is very simple-because he himself is the one who did it himself.He gave Sherlock a sleeping pill, and detonated a sufficient amount of bombs he had prepared when the effect of the medicine took effect.Sherlock's death was also received at a reasonable time.

From this point of view, he was able to confirm the root cause of Sherlock's death...in fact, it was because York hoped so from the bottom of his heart.

Although Consultant York seems to have a relatively high status within Lloyd's, he is actually in a very difficult situation at the moment.He must not expose himself in this case, and he must kill Sherlock himself.

As long as the bomb didn't kill Sherlock this time, no matter whether he went to make up the knife or not, it would be easy to expose himself.So he didn't want to hear the news of Sherlock's survival - so he would subconsciously use the collected information to confirm his established point of view.This is also the preparation he made in advance in order to persuade other high-level officials.

From this point of view, Lloyd's can confirm that Professor Moriarty is dead... Does it mean that they are also involved in this matter?

After all, divination may be disturbed, and it may not be completely correct.Moreover, if the energy level is too low, it is impossible to accurately predict the high-ranking person.Since Lloyd's can invite prophets to divination for them, they must also know such restrictions.

Then they can confirm the news of death without confirming the body...they can only be involved in this matter.For example, they sent someone to assassinate the professor, and then that person came back with news of the other's death, and maybe evidence that the other person was dead.Because of this, they will confirm this fact after divination once, and feel relieved.

Another possibility is that they didn't actually need Professor Moriarty to actually die.

Lloyd's need only have Professor Moriarty temporarily die on a social level.Make Professor Moriarty temporarily unable to return to the Glass Island to give their plan a time lag.

No matter which possibility it is, the possibility of the professor feigning death to escape is not small.And both of these possibilities have one thing in common-that is, Lloyd's has no kindness towards Aiwass.

It was because they were eager to use Aiwass that they called him here in advance and reported the death of Professor Moriarty to him in advance.This is to not give Aiwass the time to confirm and think, but also to put pressure on him.

Aiwass narrowed his eyes slightly, with a plan in mind.

He decided to attack with a straight ball and fight for the initiative.

So he stopped hiding, and suddenly said: "Lawyer York, you seem to be in a hurry."

The moment Aiwass said this, York's face changed a little.

He tilted his head slightly to the left, resting his chin on the tips of his raised left fingers.And the three fingers of his right hand flicked rhythmically on the armrest, like playing an air piano.

Looking at Lawyer York, Aiwass said slowly and tapped him: "You don't seem to be saddened by my father's death."

"that is because……"

"Because his death is more in line with your interests. No matter whether he really died unfortunately, disappeared, or just a lie that I can't verify and temporarily blinded me.

"But no matter what, if you told me this information in advance, instead of coming to me after I saw the newspaper or even encountered a dilemma in reality, it shows that you are in a hurry. Because it is obvious, the latter is easier for me to believe, and it is easier to recruit me."

The so-called icing on the cake is not as good as giving charcoal in the snow.

"Lloyd's is a collection of merchants. It can allow a group of merchants to abandon the plan with the lowest risk and the greatest benefit, and choose to activate my line in advance. Can I understand that your current situation is not as stable as you are showing now?"

Aiwass half-closed his eyes, as if a little sleepy.

He spoke slowly, his voice low and clear, like whispering to a child when telling a story: "From the scene of Sherlock's funeral, you didn't let me go home and took me directly to the Lloyd's headquarters; let me take that rickety elevator; showed you photos with so many big people without a trace; used the stripper to scare me; pointed out the fact that you can monitor the 'Noble Red' meaninglessly; reported my father's death...

"You keep putting pressure on me, do you want me to promise you something here? You might as well talk about it first, maybe I will agree easily."

Aiwass narrowed his eyes, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Let me guess... Did you make any mistakes recently? That's why you are eager to recruit me into the gang, and use this achievement to offset your mistakes.

"Looking at your eyes, I seem to be right."

"...Are you not afraid at all?"

Lawyer York scratched his head in distress, but there was no threatening expression on his face.

Aiwass also said with a smile, showing his worth: "Actually, I have already notified Mr. Mycroft before I came here; before I got in the car, I also notified Butler Oswald. You don't want me to have an accident here, lawyer York? This is one of them.

"Secondly, you will go around such a big circle and spend so much effort to persuade me, telling me the story of Prince Lloyd and the backwardness of the royal family, which shows that I have special value. It makes you unable to control me through simple means such as coercion or temptation.

"The last thing is... I guess there is someone at the door now, it should be the vice president of Boca. He should have been at the door before you talked to me about my father's death."

"—how did you guess that?"

A steady voice came from the door.

The one who opened the door was a middle-aged man with half black and half white hair and a mustache.He was wearing a dark blue suit and had a square face.The hair is neatly done, but no hairspray or wax has been applied.

The middle-aged businessman appears to be an unsmiling person.After entering the door, he subconsciously put his hands behind his back and walked slowly behind Lawyer York.

And Aiwass just smiled gently, raised his left hand to scratch in the void, and greeted the man who entered the door behind.

He lazily said: "Let's ask this first, Mr. Boka.

"Now that you've entered the door, I wonder if Mr. York's credit will be lost? That's a pity. I think he's a good man."

"His credit will not be less, because you are much more valuable than we expected."

Without even asking Lawyer York, Mr. Boka directly replaced him and talked to Aiwass.

Totally different from the always jovial, soft-spoken and soft-spoken York lawyer.

Vice President Boca's words were more straightforward, more impactful and captivating: "Do you want to be king, Mr. Aiwass? Better than 'Prince'...and not only 'Moriarty'."

Aiwass raised his brows and asked, "Who wouldn't want to?"

"But you have such an opportunity right now. With luck, not even just the king—but the 'Emperor.'"

Boka's voice was deep and magnetic, and his words were full of delusion: "This is entirely possible. You must know that we are all businessmen, and everyone has their own market and business. No one wants the old stable market to be smashed to pieces, and those white crowns and red candles are stolen by wild species who don't know where.

"From this point of view, we are actually the maintainers of order in Avalon. Just like Lloyd's is also maintaining order in Lloyd's District."

"...Is it the relationship between me and Isabel that you value?"

Aiwass didn't shy away from addressing Her Royal Highness by her name directly.

He tilted his head slightly, and asked back: "Then why should I cooperate with you?"

Hearing this, the corners of Boka's and York's mouths slightly raised in sync.

"Young people are full of energy, which is normal."

York took over the quarrel and smoothed things over cheerfully: "Who hasn't been young yet? Let alone such an outstanding young man as Aiwass..."

"Mr Aiwass, this is a business we've been running for many years. From its inception, Lloyd's has had a mission to outperform - and in that sense, you're a latecomer.

"The ancestors spent 200 years paving the way for the situation, and then the latecomers broke in by mistake and picked the fruit. At this time, if the latecomer chooses to eat alone, do you think the only thing he needs to fight against is the royal family? Don't forget, Mr. Aiwass—compared with the official, we are all weak. We don't need to fight against the weak. We need to unite with each other."

When he persuaded Aiwass, Boka said so directly.

Hearing this, Aiwass raised his eyebrows: "Did you do the royal curse?"

"Not all of us."

Boca replied: "Many people want to do this. Star antimony, iris, round table hall...

"More than 400 years. It has been 400 years since Lancelot I led the Knights of the Round Table to occupy Avalon Island and renamed it Glass Island.

"I remember that your tutor taught history—do you know what it means to be a country that has lasted for 400 years without a single break in the middle inheritance, without civil wars and rebellions, without changing kings, and without changing customs?"

It means decay, but it also means change.
