A Demon's Journey

Chapter 470 The Terrifying Truth



Since Inquisitor Fox had bound her here, it meant that he was obeying the King\'s command. There had been no cases of an Inquisitor taking personal action before.

Ironically, this was exactly the case right now. Shun was doing this on his own. He didn\'t have the King\'s consent. In fact, the King had no idea that Shun was doing something like this.

If the King realized what Shun was doing, he would certainly punish him severely.

However, this was Shun\'s solace. The King had no idea about his actions. And if all went according to his plans, he wouldn\'t ever find out.

"Now, you can start by telling me why your Mistress concocted such a dangerous poison? Why would she spread that poison in the Kingdom? Under whose order is she working?" Shun asked these three questions with a cold look in his eyes.

Savannah gulped down a mouthful of saliva as she heard those questions. From Shun\'s tone of certainty, she understood that he must have concrete evidence concerning her master.

As she recalled how her mistress had taken care of her, she began to cry.

Shun didn\'t seem to care about her tears and ordered her, "It would be better if you speak now because that would save your mistress from a load of trouble. The King still doesn\'t know that Miss Bianca is involved in this issue. However, if you don\'t speak, I will have no choice but to inform him of this and hand him the evidence as well."

He paused for a short moment and spoke, "We both know that the King won\'t show her any mercy. So, it\'s best if you speak up now."

"…It was that young man! She changed the day she met that man!" Savannah shouted out, her tears stopped leaking, and there was a furious look in her eyes.

Shun\'s eyes widened slightly as he heard those words. He asked, "Who?"

"It was Edwin Rhodes! Mistress changed the day she met that man," Savannah shouted out the name!

Those words struck Shun like bolts of lightning. His mind froze for a few seconds as he hadn\'t expected Edwin Rhodes to be connected to this issue!

A few seconds later, he regained his calmness and thought \'That Demon God was using Bianca to control the situation within the Sinyalian Kingdom. If that\'s the case, it certainly opens up a lot of possibilities. Maybe it\'s not the Lewis Marquis Family that\'s controlling Bianca, but the opposite!\'

\'Bianca is the one truly controlling the Lewis Marquis Family somehow and, by extension, the Noble Family Alliance!\'

Shun sucked a breath of cold air. He now understood that the fish he caught was too large.

He stared at Savannah and thought \'She needs to return to Bianca\'s side without revealing any clues about me! I can\'t let that Demon God know that someone knows of his secret!\'

"What did your Mistress do on that man\'s orders?" Shun asked his next question rather carefully.

Savannah shot off like a machine gun and informed him of many incidents that she believed Bianca had done on Edwin\'s orders. She spoke truthfully because she wanted to save her mistress.

She wanted Inquisitor Fox to not harm her Mistress after knowing the whole truth!

Meanwhile, the information she shared with Inquisitor Fox caused his eyes to widen.

\'What?! She was involved in that attack on the Third Prince, Bernado?! She is the reason Bernado was in that estate so far away from the main city?! And she had been in regular contact with someone from Rhodes territory? So, there is someone else along with Bianca?! Moreover, it\'s from the Rhodes Territory?!\'

Shun felt as if his mind was fried after knowing the whole truth. After Savanna was finished speaking, he stared at his subordinate and gave him a subtle nod.

The subordinate understood his task. He pulled out an injection that was filled with a red liquid.

Savannah did not know what that Red Liquid was, but she bore an instinctive dread towards it.

However, she was tied tightly to the chair. She couldn\'t escape her fate.

The red liquid was soon injected into her body, and she lost consciousness.

\'Alright. She should forget about the past hour that she spent with us. With some gentle mental suggestions, she should believe that she spent the last hour shopping in the Hyde Plaza.\'

His subordinates dealt with Savannah while Shun spent his time alone, lost in thought. Soon, he started chuckling and thought \'What a terrifying enemy! The fact that I thought I had vanquished him seems like a complete joke now.\'

\'I am finally at the starting point. I need to find his other agent within the Sinyalian Kingdom. Fortunately, I have a clue. His other agent belongs to the Rhodes Territory. And since he spent his time in Rhodes Mansion, I believe the agent must be someone in that place.\'

\'No… I need to keep in account all the information that I possess. That Demon God wanted to use these agents to spread chaos in the Sinyalian Kingdom. To do that requires resources and a certain level of authority. However, many candidates fit this description within the Rhodes Territory.\'

Shun began to think about all his past interactions with Azaroth. He was searching for anything that seemed unusual that he had ignored at that time.

And soon enough, he found it.

\'I see. His other agent is one of Jonas\'s concubines,\' Shun decisively thought.

It was easy for him to reach this conclusion. It was because he recalled the incident when Shun and Jonas paid a surprise visit to Azaroth and Azaroth seemed to be prepared for them when they arrived.

This could only be done if Azaroth knew they were coming!

And only very few people knew about this surprise trip. One of them was Jonas\'s beloved concubine. Shun didn\'t know her name but Jonas had assured her that she could be trusted.

\'He had her in his grasps long ago!\' Shun thought with a bitter smile.

\'I can\'t even trust Jonas at this point. There is no telling whether this Demon God has a single agent in the Rhodes Mansion or multiple agents,\' Shun thought.

\'I need another plan,\' He finally thought before sighing out.

Savannah returned to Bianca\'s side with some new clothes in her hands. She brought a few dresses for Sophie and planned to gift them to her.

Bianca was happy to see Savannah so excited for Sophie\'s return. She now understood why Savannah took such an unusual leave.

It must have been to get a gift for Sophie!

Shun\'s informers observed Savannah for a couple of days and stopped only when they felt that Bianca didn\'t suspect a thing!

Meanwhile, Azaroth heard the entire report from Bianca, and he frowned. He hadn\'t expected the emissaries of Clyranis to gain prominence by curing his disease.

\'The remnants of Clyranis religion managed to survive the passage of time. It was only natural for them to solve that poison since I used one of their own ancient poisons. I need to think of another plan to create chaos within the Sinyalian Kingdom. Maybe it\'s time for the Noble Family Alliance to show its true worth!\'

And with that, he sent a command to Bianca.

"Order a coordinated attacks on all the merchant organizations working for the Royal Family! Either subjugate them under the Noble Family Alliance\'s control or utterly destroy their headquarters. It\'s time to weaken the Royal Family!"
