Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game
#214 - clue
Facing Soren's request, Baffi felt apprehensive but dared not refuse.
He deeply understood Soren's current power and position, and he was even more aware of the consequences of refusal.
Therefore, upon receiving the request, he went to the Northwest Branch of the Imperial Bank without hesitation.
However, he did not expect to be assigned to the same room as Pufa.
Their room was right next to Soren's, while Hiltin and Ito's room was on the right.
This arrangement made Baffi feel a strange pressure.
Everyone could see how much Hiltin and His Highness the Crown Prince valued this Ito.
The position of Captain of the Crown Prince's Guards wasn't something anyone could hold; just look at Hiltin.
Now, he was merely the Crown Prince's personal guard.
Hiltin had begun to focus on teaching Ito cultivation, seemingly intending to take Ito as a disciple.
In the game's storyline, Ito did become Hiltin's disciple by chance, but that was supposed to happen three years later.
Now, this process seemed to be accelerated, and with the abundant cultivation resources provided by Soren, Ito's cultivation speed would probably be even faster than in the game's history.
Pufa didn't suspect the reason for his transfer; upon seeing Baffi, he greeted him enthusiastically, "Baffi, you've been transferred here by His Highness too. It seems the Crown Prince is really frightened by the recent assassinations."
Baffi nodded, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes. He also felt the seriousness of the situation, but he was more curious as to why Pufa, not Andre, had been sent. "Why is it you and not Andre who was sent?" Baffi asked, puzzled.
Pufa smiled and explained, "Naturally, Andre can't do this kind of thing. You know him; he gets easily worked up in a fight and can be easily lured away by assassins."
Hearing this, Baffi immediately understood and also felt a trace of helplessness.
He knew Andre's fighting style, and indeed, as Pufa said, he was easily susceptible to the assassins' lures.
Pufa, as a cautious and meticulous person, was indeed more suitable for this kind of protection mission.
Baffi had tried to win Pufa over several times, but he had always been politely refused.
He knew that Pufa was a man of principle and would not easily change his stance.
Being able to fight alongside him this time could be considered fate.
Therefore, Baffi also put aside his concerns, protecting the Crown Prince while also trying to get closer to Pufa.
Duffy sat in his study, playing with an exquisite jeweled dagger, the symbol of the Shadow Guards.
It symbolized their loyalty and assistance.
Since gaining the support of the Shadow Guards, especially the hidden forces in the military and the northwestern provinces, his investigation work had progressed exceptionally smoothly.
Soon, he traced the intricate relationship between Katusong, Baggio, and another mysterious figure.
These three had actually joined forces many times, secretly transporting large quantities of military supplies.
The quantity and variety of these supplies were astonishing, clearly not ordinary commercial transactions.
One of the hidden lines was actually Katusong's personal guard.
Duffy frowned slightly. Theresia City was an important border town of the empire, and the strength of the garrison was directly related to the safety of the country.
If these supplies were used for improper purposes...
He waved his hand, signaling the personal guard to retreat, and instructed him to remain vigilant and report any abnormalities at any time.
Duffy stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the stars in the night sky, his heart turbulent. He began to connect the Theresia garrison with the three men, trying to find the patterns and clues.
With the full assistance of the Shadow Guards, the investigation progressed rapidly, and every clue was quickly and accurately unearthed.
In particular, Jean Lerang traveled thousands of miles to the city where Morpheus was once stationed to conduct an in-depth investigation.
He had a strong premonition that the city must be hiding the secrets left by Morpheus.
Every corner of the city, every street, every building, Jean Lerang explored carefully,
not letting go of any possible clues.
He knew that a shrewd person like Morpheus, if he left anything here, it must be carefully designed.
Fortunately, he found one of Morpheus's personal guards in this city.
This personal guard had luckily escaped during the initial chaos, and now, under Jean Lerang's sincere questioning, he finally opened up and recounted that thrilling history.
"That day, Lord Morpheus was hunted down, and the entire garrison fell into chaos." The personal guard's eyes revealed deep fear and unease. "A mysterious high-ranking knight... he led a group of people into our garrison, killing anyone he saw. He was simply a devil."
Hearing this, Jean Lerang was shocked. Then he took out a pile of portraits for the other party to identify.
Soon, the other party pointed to one of the portraits.
Jean Lerang was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the person who hunted down Morpheus was Navin Winchester.
This information was too important to him. It was simply a breakthrough discovery.
Jean Lerang suppressed the excitement in his heart and continued to ask, "Do you know why Navin Winchester wanted to hunt down Morpheus?"
The personal guard shook his head and said, "I don't know the specific reason, but I know that Lord Morpheus had an important document in his hand. Navin Winchester may have been after that document."
This unexpected harvest made Jean Lerang overjoyed. He felt that he was one step closer to the truth.
Navin Winchester, this name left a deep mark in his heart.
This personal guard was also protected by Jean Lerang and sent to the Imperial Capital, where Cabrones and the Shadow Guard's headquarters were located. Even if Baffi's infiltration ability was strong, he would not be able to penetrate there.
"Lord, can you avenge Lord Morpheus?" The personal guard Sam asked, his eyes flashing with hatred.
Five years. He wanted to avenge himself at all times.
Avenge his brothers.
Avenge Lord Morpheus.
Jean Lerang pondered for a long time and said, "Now you are just a witness, at most you can only identify Navin Winchester."
The personal guard Sam thought for a long time and said, "Lord, I remember that Lord Morpheus met a mercenary couple on the way back then."
