Chapter 122: Sowing Discord
Listening to Albins' description, Anvis also roughly understood what happened to them.
Albins took a fancy to an item at an auction house in the royal capital, but during the auction, a guest in the VIP box also took a fancy to the item.
Normally, the financial resources of the Albins siblings are definitely not enough to compete with a distinguished guest.
But at the end of the bidding, the people in the box gave up the bid, and the item was snapped up by Albins and Hillier.
Originally, the two siblings thought the matter was over, but when they left the royal capital, they were suddenly attacked by a fourth-level professional.
Even Albins did not expect that when their siblings were all wearing Pamir uniforms, someone would dare to openly attack and kill them near the royal capital!
The attacker hid his identity and used extremely powerful mental attacks upon meeting him, clearly intending to kill and silence him.
If it weren't for the relic items they had obtained in their previous encounters, this attack would have been enough to kill them three times!
At the critical moment, Hillier stepped forward and blocked most of the impact for Albins. However, his own spiritual sea nearly collapsed under the mental impact and fell into a state of near death.
Albins, who barely blocked the attack, used a group random teleportation scroll to escape with the little time Hillier bought.
And use the channels provided by Anvis to urgently seek help from the Olivendi family's forces in the royal capital.
"...That's what happened!"
"And, Avis, I have a request—"
After briefly telling what happened, Albins couldn't help but speak hoarsely, looking at Anvis with his bloodshot blue eyes. Although his tone had calmed down again, it was still filled with an unbreakable coldness.
"I hope to know the specific origin and identity of the professional who attacked Hillier and me."
"Can--"
Anvis nodded slightly and agreed to his request.
"I will use the power of the family to investigate this matter. Once the investigation results are available, I will send you a copy as soon as possible."
After listening to Albins' story, he felt a little emotional about the deep relationship between the siblings.
With Anvis's promise, Albins said nothing more.
He stood up again and saluted Anvis solemnly again with a serious face.
After leaving Hillier's hospital room, Avis notified the family's forces in the royal capital and began to conduct an in-depth investigation into the matter.
Although the Olivendi family's sphere of influence is mainly concentrated in the northwest of the Gloria Empire.
But as one of the four major families in Gloria, even if its power in the royal capital is relatively 'weak', it cannot be underestimated by those other than the royal family and the other three major families.
In just half a day, the origin, end and end of the incident, as well as the identities of the participants behind the scenes, appeared completely on Anvis's desktop.
The identity of the guest in the VIP box that day was Lajos Ilkan, the twelfth son of Count Ilkan in the royal capital.
His mother was a concubine of Earl Ilkan. Although he was very favored by the Earl, due to his family background, Lajos had no chance of joining the family business.
Perhaps out of guilt and compensation, the count had been particularly tolerant of Lajos since he was a child.
Due to the attitude of the head of the family, no one else in the family dared to take care of him. As a result, he developed a character of a playboy.
Even though he was not a candidate for heir, Lajos was very popular among the descendants of nobles in the royal capital thanks to his family background.
If things go on like this, it will become somewhat of a dominant force in the capital.
For security reasons, the count assigned two fourth-order guards to serve as Lajos's bodyguards. Protect him from getting into trouble when he is having fun in the capital.
The professionals responsible for investigating the matter at Olivendi discovered that the identity of the person who attacked the Albins and Hillier siblings was one of the two guards.
After receiving the news, personnel from the family intelligence agency secretly went to find the guard.
But surprisingly, the professional didn't seem to return to Lajos afterwards.
The family's investigators tried to use prophecy magic to obtain the specific whereabouts of the guard, but the prophecy method sent feedback that the target was dead.
If it were an ordinary force, the investigation could have been stopped at this point and the conclusion could be drawn that the Ilkan family was behind the scenes.
But this is not the end for the Olivendi family.
A high-level prophet from the family took action to predict the outcome of the target's death in reverse order to find the specific cause of the target's death.
The result of the prophecy was shocking. This guard was actually from a third party! And he was silenced after the mission was completed!
Although Lajos was a dandy, he was not so frantic as to openly send people to attack and kill two Pamir students in the imperial capital just for such a thing.
He just asked the guards to give the two of them a warning, not to get rid of the two siblings.
However, the guards he sent did not do as he said. Instead, they tried to sow discord between the Ilkan family and other forces by forcibly attacking the Albins siblings.
Because of the Pamir Academy uniforms worn by the two siblings, some people directly targeted them.
You know, that is the Pamir Academy, a gathering place for the descendants of the empire's upper class!
There, if you throw a stone into the sky, it may fall and hit the heir to the title of an earl.
If you play it again, you might hit a future high-level powerhouse or an important official of the empire!
Therefore, the attackers did not need to carefully identify the identity. Anyway, the assassins were guards of the ‘Irkan Family’ on the surface, so they just took it as a random lottery.
If the descendants of a certain noble family were assassinated, especially under the premise of the assassin’s strange death, the blame would probably be firmly pinned on the Irkan Family.
If the force investigated this time was not the Olivendi Family, if the time was delayed a little longer, even if a high-level prophet came forward afterwards, it would be impossible to get a glimpse of the truth behind it.
After learning the unexpected heavy information, the prophet immediately prepared to make a detailed prediction about the identity of this force.
But this time, the prophecy was just cast and encountered obstacles.
Behind this unknown force, there was a prophet of the same level who took action and interfered with the fate line related to it——
After learning the news, the family prophet immediately stopped the prophecy and conveyed the result to Anvis, asking whether he wanted to continue.
An unknown force that also has a high-level prophet has the qualifications to make Anvis take it seriously.
Out of caution, Anvis notified the family prophet to temporarily stop investigating the matter.
And the results will be backed up and handed over to the family's top management, and the family will decide whether to continue.
The investigation to this point is enough for him.
