Chapter 427

"According to your instructions and arrangements, Master Orson, my subordinates' industries are indeed expanding in an orderly manner, but I really didn't expect to be reported by others."

"I didn't know 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 settled. 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 College, it does not affect Virgil's service to Orson.

"Don't worry." Orson said this and shook 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, Master Orson, what do you think?"

"I think this should be a warning." Orson thought about it, and then spoke. "It should be a warning to us, so that we should not continue to expand our power in Saint Laurent City."

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

"Try not to interact with your subordinates during this period. Just leave the work to people you trust. You'd better not attract attention these days." Orson left after instructing Virgil.

No. 58 Oak Street, Orchid Tavern.

"Mr. Orson, I knew you would come to me." Under the cloak, a familiar voice with unclear gender and a little hoarse sounded.

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

"Do you know why I am looking for 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.

"Yeah." Orson nodded. When he approached the Killing Angel about Mudrick's matter, the other party had mentioned the underground forces that Orson was cultivating.

"Other nobles at most hired a few people to open a few shops. It would be strange if you didn't get targeted if you developed a whole industrial chain like you, Mr. Orson." Killing Angel said.

Orson certainly understood, but he knew better 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 information.

The premise is not to be discovered.

"So, I ask you to help me check the forces behind those people. Since you know I'm 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 for it?"

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

"Then, I appreciate it." The other party said so, making a five gesture.

Orson certainly understood, he didn't hesitate, and handed the money to the other party.

"This money is not black money, it doesn't need to be transferred, 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. Orson, what kind of joke do you think it is? Do those people have royal backgrounds? Or do you think we can get information about the royal family?"

"It's all of them." Orson said so, trying to see through the other party's mind through the shadow under the cloak.

"However, I am more curious about who is behind you who can obtain royal intelligence and open a business in Saint Laurent City."

"Sorry, we are neutral. As for why we can obtain royal intelligence, please forgive me for not being able to 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."

"It's only been a few months since we last met, and Mr. Orson has grown so much. I believe it won't be long before we will really stand together."

Osen nodded silently after hearing this, and then left the room.

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

At present, there are three forces in the royal family. One is the faction of Emperor Odysseus, which is also the most powerful force in the royal family. The other two are the factions of Prince Arthas and Princess Elsa.

Excluding his ally Elsa, it would be too easy for Odysseus or Arthas to take action against him.

I really have to take the other party's warning seriously this time.

Sure enough, let Virgil give up some industries later. This time's beating is enough to explain the problem.

But can I really trust the group of people of the Angel of Death?

Claiming to be neutral and having the top business level in the industry, it is obviously impossible for such an organization to have no interests of its own.

Shortly after Orson left, another person came to the Orchid Tavern.

"Long time no see, His Highness Arthas."

"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 returned 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 this, rubbed her chin with her 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?"

It should be said that Dorothy's sixth sense was still very sharp, and she accurately guessed that Orson's purpose was not simply to ask who Paradis was.

"Yes." Orson nodded. "I want to know more about Paradis, or about the entire demon clan."

"You know, the Empire's attitude towards demons is to kill them, so demons almost disappeared in the Empire after the last war, but there are still many mysterious organizations studying how to turn humans into demons." Orson said this and brought up Mudrick's 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, as the ancestor of demons, whether Paradis's bloodline is still there."

"Also, if demons give birth to children with other races, what kind of state should the race maintain to be correct?"

"..." Hearing Orson's question, Dorothy was silent for a while, and then said: "Orson, you should know that I am not human."

"Yeah." Orson nodded.

"After all, your appearance has not changed in ten years, and you have traveled in the Fairy Forest. Miss Dorothy, your race is obviously not human."

"You should know that a long time ago, humans united with other races to repel the invasion from demons, and one of them was the dragon race, and I am a member of the dragon race." After Dorothy finished speaking, there was a trace of nostalgia in her expression.

"According to the records of our dragon clan, Paradis, the leader of the demon army that invaded the continent, did not leave any descendants. As for the other questions you asked, what would happen if demons and other races gave birth to children? I can't tell you, because there is no such precedent."

Osen heard Dorothy's words, although he was prepared in his heart, he still felt lost.

Chapter 54: Do me another favor

After saying goodbye to Dorothy, Orson was not happy.

At the end, Dorothy and Orson said:

"Paradis left many scars on the continent. Some ancient races or civilizations have kept records about demons, but these are all considered taboos without exception. If you want to peek into the secrets, you must become a person worthy of the trust of that race."

"As the most typical long-lived species living in groups, the elves undoubtedly have the most complete records of demons. If Orson has elf friends, you can ask them to take you to the Elf Forest to take a closer look at the books inside. After all, it has been a while, and it is difficult for me to remember many details."

To put it bluntly, it is obviously impossible to rely on hearsay from others to solve your own problems.

Then, on the way back, Orson met several people in exquisite clothes.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Orson?"

"Yes, it's me." Orson nodded, and then asked: "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Our boss wants to see you." The leader said so, pointing to a carriage behind him.

"He said that he wanted to discuss the matter of Miss Cherylina with you."
