Chapter 136: A Shared Alias

Chapter 136: A Shared Alias

Huh…

Fors froze for a second, nearly suspecting that she had seen wrong.

Immediately afterward, one thought after another uncontrollably surfaced in her mind:

Mr. World wants to take this mission? That makes sense. He is in Backlund.

But this is an investigation, not a murder. Dawn Dantes is miserable enough already. Let him go!

Eliminating the investigation target means the investigation succeeds, because there is no need to investigate anymore…

What should I do? Should I still take this mission? It is a full 500 pounds! I only need to repeat what I discovered earlier, and I can at least earn 200 pounds. But the competitor is Mr. World… perhaps it is cooperation, not competition?

Huh? Why would Mr. World be interested in this mission? What he is concerned about is actually the Baron Syndras frame-up case or Councilman Macht attack case?

When Fors finally grasped the essence of the problem, the Hanged Man Alger and the Hermit Cattleya had already turned their gazes toward the World Gehrman Sparrow. To them, whether it was the Baron Syndras frame-up case, the attack on Councilman Macht, or the wealthy merchant Dawn Dantes donating more than ten thousand pounds, none of these had originally been matters requiring particular concern. But the fact that Mr. Fool’s Blessed had taken the initiative to accept the investigation mission instantly made the problem appear extremely complicated, as if it concealed some important secret.

The Moon Emlyn had not thought that much, but he also sensed from this that this seemingly ordinary investigation mission was not so simple. He had originally planned to earn some pocket money and make up for the “wallet” that was about to lose 5,000 pounds of cash. Now, he suddenly did not want to speak.

Is Dawn Dantes truly not simple? Is there a huge problem with him, to the point that Mr. World is taking the initiative to investigate him? Or are those two cases more important and more critical than I imagined?

Justice Audrey’s heart stirred. Her eyes shifted slightly, using her advantage of position to record the reactions of every Tarot Club member in her mind.

Among them, only the Sun Derrick was outside the situation.

To him, was it not normal for everyone in the Tarot Club to help one another? If someone offered a task, and one had the ability and conditions to complete it, then choosing to accept it was completely normal, was it not?

Justice Audrey’s gaze then returned to the far end of the bronze long table. With hidden expectation, she asked, “Mr. World, do you wish to accept this mission?”

After returning to Backlund, she had collected news from the past few months at sea and had preliminarily confirmed that Mr. World was the mad adventurer Gehrman Sparrow. Toward this seemingly polite yet actually dangerous gentleman who had done many great deeds, she felt deep admiration. She even felt that her own romantic yearning for maritime adventures had faded considerably.

Klein had already thought of how to respond. After controlling the dummy World to raise his hand, he had simply waited for Miss Justice to ask. At this moment, he made Gehrman Sparrow’s expression solemn and his voice low.

“Dawn Dantes is an identity.”

After brief but repeated consideration, Klein decided to reveal part of the information and define Dawn Dantes as a shared alias used by his Blessed!

He believed that if he chose to conceal it this time, there would still be a risk of exposure later. This was because Dawn Dantes was about to enter Backlund’s upper society in depth and could at any time find clues regarding the Great Smog or other cases. In that case, it was very likely he would need Miss Justice to provide assistance from the side. At that point, this mid-Sequence Beyonder of the Spectator pathway would very probably notice something and discover that the World had deliberately concealed the truth before, while Mr. Fool had also not reminded her.

This would reduce her…
