Chapter 322: Usurpation(8)

Within the Director’s workplace of the Intelligence Company.

Gedley was packing up his issues. He put every part into containers: the nameplate he had polished for over a decade, work paperwork, his private laptop, and laptop computer.

He left the inside decor untouched since Bell Moore would probably change it to his style anyway.

“Ha…”

There was no remorse. He had misplaced, in spite of everything. From the start to the top, even the moments he thought he had gained, he had truly been Dropping.

Above all…

Now, Gedley was committing an act of betrayal.

He was the primary to efficiently contact Bell Moore and the primary to confess defeat. Then, Bell Moore, as if he had been ready, requested a gathering.

Maybe, to offer him an opportunity.

“Tsk.”

Gedley clicked his tongue as he opened the door of the Director’s workplace.

“…1”

Somebody was already there, and Gedley’s physique froze immediately. A chilling worry crept up his backbone.

Shion AscaL

He bowed to Gedley.

“You’ve got labored exhausting.”

“…What are you doing right here?”

“Workforce Chief Bell Moore despatched me.”

“He stated he would come himself?”

Shion smiled faintly.

“lt may have been a lure.”Fiind up to date novels at novelhall.com

“…”

Certainly, had Bell Moore been testing him till the very finish?

Rattling him, he is completely meticulous.

“Effectively. It appears retirement is certainly occurring, so your needs shall be conveyed to the higher-ups as they’re.”

Gedley’s title had subtly modified.

From ‘Director’ to ‘Mr.’

It was a very fucked-up scenario.

“Don’t be concerned. Mr. Gedley, as the previous Director, shall be handled with respect”

It was a privilege given to those that betrayed first. The worth for promoting out his colleagues.

“In fact, a number of the staff leaders and different Chasers concerned within the operation shall be weeded out.”

“…lsn’t that already occurring?”

Gedley sneered.

Since final week, a number of Chasers had gone lacking. No our bodies have been discovered, nevertheless it was apparent what had occurred.

“…Which means that Mr. Gedley is not going to be included in these focused.”

Shion positioned his hand close to Gedley’s neck. Gedley tensed involuntarily. The world round his collarbone stiffened below the contact.

“Nonetheless, Mr. Gedley, it is best you keep hidden till every part is settled.”

Shion straightened Gedley’s raveled tie.

“You by no means know when the Water Phantom may strike.”

Thump, thump. After adjusting his garments, Shion raised his eyebrows.

“You’U have to guard your self.”

It was a terrific humiliation for Gedley, however he had no different alternative in the meanwhile.

“…Understood.”

“Ah, earlier than you go.”

Shion prolonged his hand as Gedley was about to Depart.

“The recordings. I want them. The conversations you’ve got had with the staff Leaders up to now. You’ve got ready them, have not you?”

“…H uh.”

Gedley Let loose a bitter Snicker.

Gedley’s technique had been meticulous. He had deliberate each transfer earlier than executing the operation, and his last plan was a ‘betrayal’ to outlive on his personal.

Bell Moore had seen by even that.

“Right here… right here it’s.”

Gedley handed over a USB containing all the mandatory information to Shion.

I despatched Gedley off comfortably. The opposite staff leaders have been to be killed.

In spite of everything, they have been nugatory scum. Even when they’d climbed the ranks by politicking, the karma they accrued from their competitions of loyalty was extreme.

In fact, Gedley could be the principle perpetrator, however his remaining days would not be comfy both.

Anyway.

Any longer, the Intelligence Company should eradicate pointless civilian killings, bribery, and corruption—

“Hey! Hey, you bastard!”

A booming voice known as out to me. It was Bell Moore, who had rushed to the director’s workplace.

“Sure.”

“The place did the director go?!”

Sweating profusely, he was searching for Gedley.

Such a scarcity of dignity for somebody about to turn into director.

I shrugged my shoulders.

“He is gone.”

“What? NO… the place to?”

“I do not know.”

“Rattling it…”

Bell Moore’s face Seemed as if he had Misplaced the world.

Is there anybody else on the earth who hates promotion this a lot? Such a ridiculous individual.

I feigned ignorance and requested.

“What is the matter?”

“What is the matter, you ask? Hey! Did the director say something to you?!”

“Sure.”

“What did he say!”

“He hoped you’ll comply with effectively in his footsteps.”

“…”

Bell Moore’s mouth dropped open.

His already Giant jaw appeared to develop even bigger, virtually touching the bottom.

Derek picked up a chunk of sushi together with his chopsticks. A glad smile appeared on his lips.

“…Shion Ascal. You, you’ll quickly turn into a balancer.”

“I nonetheless suppose its a good distance off.”

“Hmph. Modesty.”

Snap—He flicked his fingers.

“Go now. Go and do what that you must do. Do not simply watch.”

“Sure.”

Treating me like a canine. Now that he is getting comfy, Derek’s attribute lack of ability to recollect favors, his outdated habits, are displaying.

“I might recognize it if there have been desserts subsequent time.”

“I’ll pay attention to that.”

“Good. Be in your manner.”

Derek waved his hand, focusing solely on his lunchbox.

His lack of curiosity in watching me Depart was so typical of him.

In the meantime, Theia Esil’s workshop had changed into a home of mourning.

They moved as desperately as they may, however there was nobody left to assist Theia. Even Yusuf, the vice-captain who had cooperated with Derek, refused to satisfy.

[Holy Knight Theia Esil remains silent, and Athan’s daughter Emilia is demanding severe punishment…]

“…This fucking bullshit does not make sense!”

Theia’s disciple Aren threw his smartphone violently.

“That loopy bitch, how a lot did Libra pay her to promote out her personal father!”

“Aren! Aren, settle down.”

“Shut up! Do you suppose you are the one one fucked up proper now?!”

The opposite disciples restrained Aren. He ruffled his hair and slumped right into a chair.

After some time of heavy respiration, he quietly known as somebody’s title.

“Gerkhen.”

Gerkhen turned to have a look at Aren.

“Sure.”

Gerkhen’s complexion was no totally different from the opposite disciples, a testomony to his efforts operating round for Theia.

“You already know Shion Ascal, proper?”

“…Sure, I do know him.”

“That bastard, does not he have any soiled secrets and techniques? From what I see, Shion Ascal is the true perpetrator.”

“…”

Gerkhen remained silent.

Shion AscaL From the start, he declared himself a loyalist of Libra, and he has been meticulously conserving the guarantees he made.

“Shion Ascal? My info factors to Bell Moore.”

Instantly, one other disciple, a knight named Rita, interjected.

“…Bell Moore?”

Aren furrowed his forehead. Rita defined.

“Yeah. Bell Moore is the top of the Intelligence Company. Anybody who stood as much as him obtained their heads chopped off. He is a harmful man.”

“…I do know that, however no. I noticed it when the professor was taken away. Shion

Ascal was there, laughing at us. Its undoubtedly Shion, that bastard.”

Gerkhen listened quietly to their dialog. He had nothing to say. An outdated pal… maybe not, however a recognized affiliate had undoubtedly changed into an enemy.

Gossip was not Gerkhen’s interest.

Aren let loose a deep sigh.

“Gerkhen. Come outdoors. Lets discuss.”

“Okay.”

Aren and Gerkhen left the workshop, following one another.

Aren climbed as much as the rooftop and lit a cigarette. The grey smoke dispersed within the wind.

“Gerkhen. What are you doing right here?”

“…7”

Gerkhen checked out Aren, puzzled by his query.

Aren chuckled frivolously.

“You. You’ve an interview with the Knights of the Council tomorrow.”

“…Ah”

“GO.”

Aren spoke firmly.

“The professor stated so. She informed me to ship you.”

“…”

Gerkhen leaned towards the railing, aimlessly wanting up on the night time sky.

There have been no stars tonight.

“However, I am interested in one thing.”

Aren exhaled a puff of smoke.

“What do you wish to turn into later? I can not determine your ideas.”

“I’ve no explicit aspirations.”

At Gerkhen’s response, Aren narrowed his eyes.

“Figures. You are at all times so uninteresting.”

Flick. He tapped off the ash from his cigarette.

“Anyway, go to the Knights of the Council. There is not any higher timing than now.”

He continued as if sighing.

“Assist her there. Assist clear our grasp’s title.”

Then, taking a look at Gerkhen, he winked.

“That might work, proper?”

Gerkhen fell into thought for a second.

Logically, it was troublesome to assist Theia from inside this example. All info was being blocked.

The facility of Libra was this immense and thorough.

“Sure.”

So, Aren’s phrases have been proper.

There was no time left to hesitate.

“I’ll try this.”

Aren smiled, relieved.
