Chapter 177 "The Grand Duke"

"Oh, by the way, I still need our organization to investigate someone for me!

Hellen, who was about to leave, suddenly remembered that there was one more thing he forgot to tell Nehemiah.

Nehemiah stopped his footsteps about to leave, turned around and asked, "Who? I can tell you in advance that the organization is not here to help you resolve personal grievances. If you have any personal enemies, don't expect the organization to help you." What a great effort for you."

Hillen waved his hand: "Don't worry, the person I'm talking about is on official business, and he has a deep connection with Varian. Maybe you can find out the people behind Varian based on this clue."

When Nehemiah heard this, he immediately became interested, turned around and sat back on the sofa again, looking very interested.

Nehemiah had been at a loss as to where to start since receiving orders from Gremory VI to investigate all aspects of Varian's background.

Now Hellen's words made him find a glimmer of light amidst all his thoughts.

Helen coughed twice, and deliberately lowered her voice:
"Speaking of which, this person is related to that magic stone mine."

Nehemiah's face became more serious: "How to say?"

Hillen replied in a deep voice: "You should know that Varian has been secretly mining this magic stone mine before it fell into my hands!"

Nehemiah replied, "Of course!"

Helen smiled slightly: "Then you must not know who he is working with!"

A few traces of joy flashed across Nehemiah's face, and he hurriedly asked:

"Did you find out?"

Helen nodded slowly: "The capital of trade, one of the ten major chambers of commerce in the Pangea, the Guisuo Furious Chamber of Commerce!"

Nehemiah's complexion changed. As the president of a large chamber of commerce in Dolin Province, he certainly knew how capable and famous the [Guinsoo Rage Chamber of Commerce] that Hillen was talking about was.

Slowly breathing a sigh of relief, Nehemiah speculated: "You should have found this when you went to the trading capital not long ago!"

Helen nodded, and then continued: "The person I want you to investigate is the person who once used that magic stone mine to discuss cooperation with people from the Guinsoo Rage Chamber of Commerce!"

Nehemiah was a little puzzled when he heard this: "I don't quite understand what you mean, isn't it someone from Varian who used that magic stone mine to negotiate and cooperate with the Guinsoo Berserker?"

Hillen smiled mysteriously: "Of course not! After my investigation, the person who came into contact with the Guisoo Rage Chamber of Commerce is very likely not a member of Varian, but Varian's superior!

This is why I believed from the very beginning that Varian was just a small pawn, and the real culprit behind the scenes was someone else! "

"Who!" Nehemiah's questioning tone was obviously extremely strong, and his eyes became sharper.

Helen's eyes were fixed, and he slowly said two words:

"Grand Duke!"

Nehemiah's face changed suddenly, and when he was about to blurt out the curse and questioning words, he was blocked by Helen's next sentence.

"A man code-named 'Grand Duke'!"

Noticing the change in Nehemiah's expression, Xieren's mind flashed a little bit of understanding. It seems that there is indeed someone called Grand Duke in the Stevey Empire!
But I haven't heard of any brothers and sisters of Gremory VI.

Wanting to ask, but noticing the expression on Viscount Nehemiah's face just now, Hellen decided it's better not to startle the snake for the time being.

After hearing Helen's words, Nehemiah heaved a sigh of relief:

"Boy, if you can finish talking in one breath in the future, you will almost frighten the old man to death."

Immediately, he stopped being too entangled in this question, and instead asked, "How do you know?"

Hellen replied: "It was the person in charge of the [Guinsoo Rage] Chamber of Commerce who told me that the price was the right to operate the magic stone mine. In addition, he also gave me a name."

"what name!"

"It is the middleman who has been in touch with the [Guinsoo Rampage] chamber of commerce on behalf of the 'Grand Duke'. His name is Rafael Martin! I have also told His Highness Lekton about this before, and asked him to help find it for him. So far no results."

Hearing this, Nehemiah frowned, and there was a hint of reproach in his voice: "Did you tell His Highness about this?"

Helen looked puzzled: "How is this possible? I just said that he is an old friend of mine, and I just asked him to find it for me."

The expression on Nehemiah's face eased a lot, and he added: "It's fine if you don't say anything, remember not to implicate His Highness in these matters in the future, it's best not to let him know."

Helen pouted and agreed.

Then Nehemiah continued: "This information is very useful to us. I will investigate this person carefully when I go back. You don't have to worry about it anymore. I will find someone to inform you when I have the results. You now The biggest task is to prepare for the blood race and build a good relationship with the blood race as much as possible!"

Shiron stared at Nehemiah, thought for a moment and then nodded.

The secret meeting continues...

When Helen left, Nehemiah handed him a pitch-black ring with a dark obsidian inlaid on the top of the ring.

On the surface, the ring appears to be just a fine gemstone ring, but upon closer inspection, a lifelike image of a raven is outlined in silver thread on the obsidian.

Raven Oath!

【Dark Raven】The only authentication method for organization members.

Maybe it's a ring, maybe a string of necklaces, or even a button. The items carried may be different, but the image of the raven is completely the same.

Before leaving, Nehemiah was still telling Hieron:

"This ring, especially the obsidian on this ring, is the only evidence to prove your [Raven] identity. You must keep it safe no matter what. After you come back from the blood race, I will put some connections within the organization The method and contact point tell you that when the time comes, you will use this ring to participate in the organization's activities."

……

"How did you talk with Viscount Nehemiah? Did he still ask you to give up half of the profits from the magic stone mine?"

After leaving the hotel room, Hepburn took Heron's arm, and the two walked towards their home in the quiet and dense night.

Hepburn's question woke up Hellen who was in deep thought, and when he came back to his senses, Hellen smiled slightly:
"I'll tell you when I get home. By the way, I haven't asked you yet. What did the Viscountess talk to you about? I think you looked very happy when you came out!"

Recalling the touching smile on Hepburn's face when he came out, Hellen couldn't help asking.

Hearing this, Hepburn's cheeks turned red suddenly, she shook her head, and said shyly:
"Nothing, let's go home!"

……

"What did you say? Viscount Nehemiah belongs to Gremory VI?"

At home, Hepburn's dress was much more casual.

Only a one-shoulder white shirt was draped over his body, and his collarbone and shoulders were exposed to the air.The long rose-red hair fell from the smooth shoulders like waves, and the slender fingers kept grinding a few strands of hair.

Hearing Hearon's words at this time, Hepburn let go of the hair she was fiddling with, and stood up abruptly from the sofa, her small mouth slightly opened, with an incredible look of shock on her face.

Helen nodded and continued: "Not only that, but he was sent by Gremory VI to monitor the governor Varian. The reason is that Gremory VI has already confirmed that the person who assassinated Rikton outside the city of Beato One of the masterminds behind the scenes is this Governor Varian."

Hepburn pursed her red lips and thought for a while: "Then why did he come to you today?"

Helen took Hepburn into her arms, stroked her hair, and said in a calm voice:

"He wants me to join one of their secret organizations to assist him in investigating and eradicating the mastermind behind this incident!"

"You agreed?" Hepburn looked back at Hellen.

Helen nodded:

"That's right. After all, their organization was led by the Emperor himself. Joining it is equivalent to having a big backer. Moreover, with the help of this organization, we will be able to fight against those behind Varian. I have more confidence!"
