Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 114 As expected of Moriarty

Aiwass asked unceremoniously: "So you cooperated with the Starbone and decided to change masters?"

But in the face of his words, neither of them had the slightest resentment.

In the face of two people who are far stronger than him, he can remain calm, without any timidity and hesitation. This is the symbol of a pure transcendent.

"It seems that the progress of your investigation is quite fast."

Lawyer York sighed and said happily, "Fortunately, I recruited you directly."

But the vice-chairman of Boca denied it: "That's not the case. We are definitely not sharp knives in the hands of the stars."

"But I heard that the leader of the Noble Red is a pure-blooded giant. From the former dynasty of Avalon."

Aiwass said quietly.

"Do you think I look like a giant?"

Hearing this, a contemptuous sneer emerged from the corner of the serious middle-aged man's mouth: "When did the group of transcendents ever have an eternal 'leader'? Everyone considers themselves the king of the infinite universe—don't you do the same? When did you take the two of us to heart?"

"Aren't Lloyd's and Noble Red the same organization?"

Aiwass asked back.

Lawyer York on the side explained: "It's just that some high-level people overlap. In Lloyd's, of course, it is impossible for everyone to be a transcendent... Otherwise, we would have been discovered by the inspectorate."

The vice-chairman of Boka continued, with a deep and powerful voice: "Actually, it is because there are only a minority of those who transcend wherever they are. Because most people do not have that kind of will and awareness.

"None of the nine roads belong to mortals. The essence of the life of the extraordinary is the will itself that transcends the ordinary. The charge of the stupid makes people laugh, and the resentment of the lazy is meaningless. Only when you have the determination to fight the big with the small, and the self-confidence to defeat the strong with the weak, can you step into the path of transcendence."

The moment he heard this, Aiwass judged that among the three Lloyd's senior executives "Mr. Boca", "Mr. Forbes" and "Ms. Gray Green" that York lawyer asked downstairs, only Boca should belong to the noble red.And possibly Prince Lloyd.

In other words, Lloyd's is divided internally.The same is true for the Noble Red Society.

They are not monolithic!
When he realized this, Ai Hua suddenly became energetic.

Evidence of York Hermes' collusion with the Noble Red Society will not be available until he orders it.But it seems that it is no longer used.

If Aiwass can directly break into Lloyd's or even the Noble Red Society, then he can bring out the first-hand information himself!

Then York's life can be left to Sherlock for him to avenge himself.It also has a certain sense of ritual that Aiwass loves.

"I have a question, Lawyer York, Mr. Boca," Aiwass asked, "So President Lloyd is also a member of the Noble Red? He is not a giant, is he?"

York looked at the vice president of Boka with some hesitation, and Boka paused and said directly: "That's not the case, he is a half-blood giant. So he is the high-level executive of the Noble Red Society."

"You mean, the Lloyd family produced a half-blood giant?"

"You may have misunderstood, Aiwass," Lawyer York explained, "President Lloyd is in the same situation as you, he is only an adopted son.

"The Lloyd family has a special rule, that is, they do not rely on blood inheritance. The children born by themselves must be given to other people and replaced with other surnames; only the best of the adopted children can inherit the Lloyd's surname and Lloyd's.

"This is to cultivate children's desire to make progress by whatever means. The overall wealth of Lloyd's is close to [-]% of Avalon's. If there is a chance to inherit such an astonishing wealth, even if it is only a small part. Passed down from generation to generation, there will always be lazy and gentle people.

"Because of this, every generation of Lloyd's presidents are from civilians, even poor people. It is precisely because they have suffered from poverty and starvation, so in the face of such huge wealth and power, they can truly awaken...continuously transform and grow like snakes."

"It's a ritual in itself."

The vice-chairman of Boca replied concisely: "This is the 'Sons of the Serpent' ceremony, which extracts the transcendent potential of other people and concentrates it on one person. President Lloyd of this generation is a half-blood giant. It is also from this generation that we have a relationship with the Noble Red Society—Mr. York and I are not the transcendents cultivated by Noble Red."

Raising Gu, right?It really seemed like something a bloodless and tearless businessman could do.

Aiwass groaned.

"So," he sighed, leaning back and asked softly, "what do you want me to do?"

The vice president of Boca and Lawyer York exchanged glances, and said, "Please rest assured, Mr. Aiwass. It is not dangerous or cruel. Rather, you are doing such a thing."

"Are you in love with Isabel?" Aiwass said angrily.

"No, please forget Her Royal Highness. There are too many jokes in it."

The vice president of Boka said in a deep voice: "You can continue to track down the Noble Red Association. If you need help, we can also give you some limited information.

"About next week, next week at the latest - your dormitory at the Royal University of Law will be attacked by a large number of demon scholars. Before you are attacked, I will give you a special notice.

"It's the same as the people who attacked you with the grotesques and the people who used you to summon the demons. They are not from our Lloyd's side. Among the people you killed, only the half-elf bartender is ours, and only the Pelican Bar is our place.

"You are now a hero of Avalon, and you have also attracted the hatred of the association. We can cultivate your reputation along the way, so that you have the opportunity to rise even higher. People believe that Lloyd's has some relationship with the Noble Red Association, so no one will know that the hero who is famous for fighting demon scholars is actually a member of Lloyd's. In this way, even if you are exposed beyond the path of adaptability, the royal family will protect you.

"So, you have to agree to do this. We will cultivate your reputation. When we have defeated another part of the Noble Red and turned the association into our own strength, you will stand up and support Lloyd's in turn, stating that we have nothing to do with the Noble Red after investigation. Before that, you only need to be our spokesperson and speak for us—just like Prince Lloyd.

"—What you have to do is very simple, that is, don't attack too hard, just let those who attacked you run away after defeat. Those who attacked you at the awards ceremony are the group of demon scholars who are close to the Star Antimony Kingdom, and the next batch will be our Lloyd's turn to recruit people. But just in case, I will not notify them to be merciful, so as to prevent them from being caught accidentally and exposing you.

"But I will tell you their configuration and plan in advance. You should have a way to deal with it? Next time, you can be ruthless."

Hearing this, Aiwass' finger tapping on the armrest of the wheelchair suddenly stopped for a moment.

He opened his eyes slightly.Suddenly understood.

Isabel is just a cover.It was their excuse to test Aiwass' motives and position...

The reason they really fell in love with Aiwass is because he has recently become a "hero" by fighting demons!
The demon scholar master and apprentice who tricked Aiwass into offering sacrifices, the Pelican Bar that was destroyed by Aiwass' raid, the sweater brotherhood discovered by Sherlock, the Minister of Trade who smuggled a batch of alchemy bombs, the deformed monster who blatantly attacked Aiwass...

Aiwass originally thought that these were a wave of people.Unexpectedly, these are actually two groups, or even three groups of different people!
Those members of Lloyd's who know nothing but control the strangling party and participate in smuggling; the domestic businessmen who surpassed the local merchants who secretly collude with the Noble Red Association within Lloyd's but disobedient to the pure-blooded giant;

That's the reason, no wonder York lawyers are in such a hurry, and no wonder they have to recruit themselves immediately... and they can't use force to force them.

——To put it bluntly, don't you just want to play a wave of wolf on wolf.

These transcendents who joined Lloyd's and the Noble Red Society at the same time should be a minority, so they are enemies.Because of this, their actions are monitored by both sides.

So they need a spokesperson of their own who can speak for Lloyd's.In fact, this spokesperson does not stand on the side of Lloyd's, but only on the side of their small group.

For this purpose, they can find a way to send a human head to cushion Aiwass.

very attractive benefits.If Aiwass is willing to cooperate, he will really become a big star-even a prince.

He also suddenly understood how Prince Lloyd did it back then...

——Find someone to act in a play, right?
But on the other hand, Aiwass can swallow the benefits at any time and turn back directly and decisively.They couldn't use coercion to control Aiwass, because the initiative was with him.So Lawyer York's idea is to lure him and make friends with Professor Moriarty through the disappearance of Professor Moriarty and the inheritance of the Moriarty family property.

It was indeed a plan that suited his personality.

However, Aiwass had a darker thought in his mind.

... His position is too critical.

If done well, he seems to be able to take all four: eat the heads sent by the other party; let them fight each other and attack each other; help Sherlock get revenge; and destroy these two organizations at the same time to detonate the bomb in advance, so that Avalon will not collapse in a disaster a year later.

He squinted and sat in a wheelchair.

"I agreed."

Aiwass said slowly and unabashedly: "Join Lloyd's in the open, and join the Noble Red Society secretly without any ceremony.

"Then let me think carefully about how to act next..."

Seeing this, Lawyer York was very pleased and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

He looked at Aiwass, as if he saw the former Professor Moriarty.

"For one less Moriarty we have a younger, wiser Moriarty!"

Lawyer York bowed his head and leaned over, flattering him enthusiastically: "Since Aiwass has joined Lloyd's, we might as well just say it straight - we Lloyd's used to rely on your father's spider's silk-like precision and invisible wisdom to guide us to use information reasonably.

"Although you have just joined now, I believe that with the recommendation of me and the vice president of Boca, it will be easy to get in touch with high-level officials.

"The future development of Lloyd's depends on you young people!"

"Yes."

Aiwass smiled, and replied pointedly: "I have to work hard."
