Chapter 156

Then the question is, who in the current Imperial College, the current Saint Laurent City, or the current Empire is so eager to break Orson's wings?

"..." Olivia fell into silence when she heard Orson say this.

Then, she said: "Can Virgil explain? Just say that these properties are ancestral property, and Virgil was forced to take over. His grades in the college have always been very good..."

"I don't know, it depends on the rules of the Imperial College. According to the rules of the college, a person's life inside and outside the college should be separated, unless there are serious moral problems..."

Chapter 52: Knock and Convergence

"Anyway, I'll go find Virgil first. Olivia, help me deal with the student union."

"Okay." Olivia nodded, and then said with concern: "Be careful along the way."

"Yeah." Orson said this, left the office, and then went straight to Virgil's dormitory.

Virgil lived with another ordinary classmate, and the two sides did not interfere with each other. When Orson arrived at Virgil's dormitory, his roommate had not returned yet.

"Mr. Orson, why are you suddenly..." Virgil was sitting in the living room drinking coffee and reading a book. Suddenly, he saw Orson open the door and came in, and he was also stunned.

"Virgil, there is something I don't know if you have heard."

"Huh?" Virgil said with a puzzled expression.

Seeing this, Orson knew that Virgil must not know what kind of crisis he was facing, so he said: "In short, Virgil, has the scale of your business expanded? Someone reported that you are operating a black industry outside, and wanted to kick you out of the Imperial College."

"What?" Virgil heard a surprised look.

"According to your instructions and arrangements, Master Orson, it is true that the industry under my subordinates is indeed expanding in an orderly manner, but being reported by others... I really didn't expect it."

"I didn't know that this would happen." Orson sighed, and then said: "In short, this matter has not yet been brought to the board of directors. Those classmates seem to mean that if you apply for withdrawal on your own initiative, the matter will be over, otherwise it may involve more people..."

"In this case, I will apply for withdrawal tomorrow." Virgil certainly heard the implication of Orson.

He can have the life he has now thanks to Orson. Even outside the Imperial Academy, Virgil's service to Orson is not affected at all.

"Don't worry." Orson said, shaking his head. "At present, there is no school rule that says you must drop out."

"But if it drags on..."

"It's okay, Virgil. If the other party really wants to be an enemy of me and Lit, do you think they will only attack you?"

"So, Mr. Orson, what do you think?"

"I think this should be a warning." Orson thought for a while, and then spoke. "It should be a warning to us, so that our influence in Saint Laurent City will not continue to expand."

Indeed, at present, Orson can think of the only reason for the other party not to take action immediately, which is this aspect.

"Try not to interact with your subordinates during this period. Just hand over the work to people you trust. You'd better not attract attention these days." Orson gave Virgil a few words and left.

No. 58 Oak Street, Orchid Tavern

"Mr. Orson, I knew you would definitely come to me." Under the cloak, a familiar voice with a slightly hoarse voice that could not be distinguished by gender sounded.

"It seems that you have grown a lot during this period of time. Compared with the last time we met, you have become much more powerful."

"Do you know why I came to you?"

"Well, my black industry was suddenly targeted by others, and I don't know the specific forces behind that person, so I had to come to me. Am I right?" The Killing Angel said with a smile.

"Well." Orson nodded. When he approached the Killing Angel because of Mudrick's matter before, the other party vaguely mentioned the underground forces that Orson was cultivating.

"Other nobles can only hire a few people to open a few stores. It would be strange if you didn't develop a whole industrial chain like you, Mr. Orson." The Killing Angel said so.

Orson certainly understood, but he knew more clearly that if he wanted the black industry to be a little "cleaner", he must have his own industrial chain, otherwise he would be in the middle of the upstream and downstream industrial chains and would be more or less "bloody".

At the same time, a complete black industry can provide more intelligence.

The premise is that you are not discovered.

"So, I ask you to help me check the forces behind those people. Since you know I am coming, you should be able to tell me their information here, right?"

"Of course." The Killing Angel nodded, and then took out a card from the cabinet.

"It has what you want, but what are you going to exchange it for?"

"You name a price, as long as it is not too outrageous, I can accept it."

"Then, thank you." The other party said so, and made a five gesture.

Orson certainly understood, he did not hesitate, and directly handed the money to the other party.

"This money is not black money, there is no need to transfer, it can be used directly." After Orson added these, he took the card from the other party and read the information on it.

After seeing the name on it, he frowned.

"Royal family? Are you kidding me?"

"Mr. Osun, what kind of joke do you think it is? Are those people with royal backgrounds? Or do you think we can get information about the royal family?"

"It's all aspects." Orson said, trying to see through the other person's mind through the shadow under the cloak.

"However, what I'm more curious about is who is behind you who are able to obtain royal information and drive openly and openly in Saint Laurent City."

"Sorry, we are neutral. As for why we can obtain the royal family's information, please forgive me that I cannot tell you for the time being. When we find that you have greater value in the future, we will take the initiative to inform you."

"Just a few months without seeing each other, Mr. Orson has grown so much. I believe it won't be long before we can truly stand together."

Upon hearing this, Orson nodded silently and then left the room.

After learning that the mastermind behind this was the royal family, Orson finally panicked.

There are currently three factions in the royal family. One is the faction of Emperor Odysseus, which is currently the most powerful faction in the royal family. The other two are the factions of Prince Arthas and Princess Elsa.

Excluding his ally Elsa, whether it is Odysseus or Alsace, it is too easy to attack him.

I really need to take this warning from the other party seriously.

Sure enough, let Virgil let go of some properties in the future. This beating is enough to illustrate the problem.

But, can I really trust the Killing Angels?

Claiming to be neutral and having the top business level in the industry, this kind of organization is obviously impossible if it does not have its own interests.

Not long after Orson left, another person came to the Orchid Tavern.

"Long time no see, Your Highness Alsace."

"How's the matter I entrusted you with?"

"According to your arrangement, Master Osen has been reminded. I believe that the other party will soon appropriately restrain his power."

"Okay, although this is my first time working with you, I hope it won't be the last."

"certainly."

Chapter 53: Disappointment

After sending Alsace away, the "Killing Angel" took out a contract document from the desk drawer and read it carefully.

"Master Osun, you really did not disappoint me." With that said, the "Killing Angel" put the contract in his hand into the drawer.

…

On the other side, Orson returns

He went to Imperial College and met Virgil again.

"I've already taken care of the things here in Saint Laurent City, so let's let it go for now." Orson said this and sighed.

"But, Master, you started planning this a few years ago..." Virgil said with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

"Is it because of my problem? If it is my problem, I will apply to drop out of school today. I will support you, Mr. Osen, whether in or out of school."

"It's not your problem." Orson shook his head. "For some reasons, we must transfer the power of Saint Laurent City, otherwise, we will be attacked by the above."

Orson said this and pointed to the sky, the meaning is self-evident.

Hearing what Orson said, Virgil could only nod.

It is true that although Orson's power is powerful, his background is different.

For now, it is obviously not possible to let Orson, who only has a duke background, fight against forces with a royal background.

Moreover, no matter how you say it, the city of Saint Laurent is still the territory of the royal family, and Orson has to be restrained in whatever he wants to do.

"But, Virgil, you still have a job." Orson immediately spoke again. "I have arranged a position for you. When the time comes, you can take this and go somewhere."

Orson said, handing Virgil a business card.

The latter took the business card, looked at it and nodded.

…

After returning to the dormitory, Leeteuk was reading a book in his room, and Orson knocked on Leeteuk's door.

"Li Teuk, after tomorrow starts, you don't have to go to Virgil's place."

"Eh? Orson, why?"

"Our forces in Saint Laurent City are being targeted by others, so we have no choice but to take this strategy." After that, Orson explained the reason for doing this to Li Te. Of course, he did not mention going to Orchid Tavern to find the Killing Angel. things.

After hearing the news, Lite nodded.

She understands that giving up properly is the best way, otherwise it will only attract the wind.

The next day came. After Orson had dealt with these matters, he took a leave in the morning and came to Dorothy's house specifically.

Standing in an ordinary room in front of him, Orson knocked on the door.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps inside, and then Dorothy's face appeared in Orson's sight.

"Hey, Orson..." Dorothy was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that Orson had told her before that she had something to do with her, so she quickly said: "Please come in, Orson, you told me before. Something?"

"Yeah." Orson nodded and then walked into the room.

Dorothy's room...

It can only be said that it is messy. The table in the living room is piled with all kinds of books, and it seems that it has not been taken care of for a long time.

"Miss Dorothy, your home..." Orson thought for a while and decided not to comment.

But Dorothy could clearly see Orson's embarrassed expression. She was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood in front of the pile of debris, and then said: "Ahem, I didn't expect you to come today, Orson. So I don’t take care of it much, because it’s more convenient... so I usually just... anyway..."

Dorothy became incoherent.

Seeing the other party's interesting reaction, Orson didn't say anything more. After all, he didn't come to see if Dorothy's house was clean.

Then, he changed his mouth and said: "Miss Dorothy, you must have read a lot of ancient books, right?"

Dorothy was stunned for a moment when she heard this.

"Well, I have indeed seen a lot." She nodded.

"Well, I wonder if you have ever been to the library of the Elf Forest?"

"Forest of Elves?" Dorothy thought for a moment, then nodded and admitted. "I did work as a librarian there for a while, and I took the opportunity to read a lot of books. Why are you asking this, Orson?"

"I would like to ask, Miss Dorothy, have you heard of the name Paradis?" Orson said straight to the point.

"Paradise?!" When Dorothy heard this, her eyes widened instantly, and her whole aura became different from before.

"Orson, why do you suddenly ask this?" Her voice deepened, and it was much more serious than the casual tone just now.

"That's it..." Orson changed his experience of going to the Orc Desert and the Limusa Temple, and then told Dorothy.

"If it is an ancient book recorded in ancient continental language, it is indeed possible that Paradis's name will be mentioned..." Dorothy heard

He said, rubbing his chin with his fingers and nodded.

Then, she looked up at Orson again.

"But, Orson, since you told me this, it's obvious that you didn't simply ask who Paradis is, right?"

Regardless of what he said, Dorothy's sixth sense was still very keen, and she accurately guessed that Orson's purpose was not to simply ask who Paradis was.

"Yes." Orson nodded. "I want to know some more information about Paradis, or in other words, about the entire demon clan."

"As you know, the empire's attitude towards demons is to kill them. Therefore, demons have almost disappeared in the empire after the last war. However, there are still many mysterious organizations that are studying the matter of turning humans into demons." Orson said. Then, he told Mudrick about the matter.

"Last time, there was a mercenary group leader named Mudrick. He turned into a demon in the forest outside Saint Laurent City, and he turned into a demon from a human form. So, I want to ask, Pa As the ancestor of demons, does Ladis still have his bloodline?"

"Also, if a demon gives birth to a child with another race, what kind of state should that race be in?"
