Chapter 381
It’s really strange to look for an intermediary...
looking at the assassin sitting in front of him with a horrified look on his face.
Ronald frowned.
From his own perspective, even if he could deal with the assassin tonight, it should theoretically take some effort.
But in reality?
Catch the throwing knife, then use Almagest to drag this guy over.
With just two simple movements, the enemy in front of him almost gave up resistance, and then sat tremblingly in front of him.
Let alone organizations like the [Nine Rings Secret Society] or the [Original Witches Coven].
Even a lowly cult warlock.
If they sent someone here to cause trouble for themselves, they couldn't possibly be of such poor quality, right?
"..."
"Volume 11, page 260, page 6."
Frowning his eyebrows, Ronald whispered the polygraph incantation.
After ensuring the double detection of psychological fluctuations and lie detectors, he reached out and patted the assassin's face.
Bang bang -
"Hey, be honest."
"Tell me who asked you to come here."
"What's the purpose?"
"..."
Ronald made what he thought was an ordinary action.
However, in the eyes of the assassin, this is almost the most fatal situation at the moment.
As a spellcaster engaged in the assassination industry, he has certainly heard of some of the more famous spells, among which the most commonly used lie detection technique by the Bureau of Investigation is indispensable.
Now he saw Ronald using it in front of him.
The fear and tension in this guy's heart almost reached its peak, and even the last glimmer of hope quietly evaporated into the air.
Trembling lips.
The assassin spoke:
"First... sir."
"I'm just an ordinary person, and I just got the task of 'assassinating a disgusting guy'." "
I really don't care about other things. I don’t know!”
“…”
This guy didn’t lie.
With the power of 'rage' and the double insurance of the polygraph, Ronald came to this conclusion.
Unless this is someone who can perfectly control their emotions.
At the same time, they are also top agents who have received professional training.
If this were not the case, it would be almost impossible to hide it from Ronald.
Then the conclusion is simple.
There is a force that doesn't know his true identity...
No, it should be a person.
If it was a move made by a certain force, then this would be too childish.
It was a guy who knew a lot about himself and didn't even know much about him, and commissioned a killer to assassinate him.
I came to this conclusion in my mind.
Ronald sighed slightly, and then continued to ask:
"When did you receive the assassination mission?"
"Tell me everything you know."
The assassin looked extremely scared.
He had no intention of bargaining at all. As soon as Ronald opened his mouth, the guy started telling his story like he was pouring beans:
"Today, just an hour ago."
"I got an expedited one from the agency. The assassination mission is said to be well-paid and the mission objectives are easy to handle. The only requirement is that the sooner you do it, the better!" "
So I immediately took on the mission and came to ambush you without even thinking about it."
I finished speaking in one breath . After experiencing the experience, the assassin took a deep breath, and then hurriedly explained:
"Sir, I was also deceived!"
"If I knew that the target of the mission was someone like you, I wouldn't dare to give you twenty courages. Make such an offensive move!"
"I was deceived by that damn employer!"
"You must never..."
"Shut up."
Ronald was not interested in hearing the assassin's self-defense.
After opening his mouth to interrupt him, he pulled the man up from the ground with one hand.
"You just said there was an intermediary, right? Take me there immediately!"
"..."
The assassin finally did not agree immediately:
"I... this will cause a big problem."
"Sir, I am here for your safety. Consider, if..."
"I know what you want to say."
Ronald interrupted the other party again, and his tone at this moment also had a cold murderous intent, and the threat in it was obvious:
"Either you die in my hands now. ."
"Otherwise, take me to your intermediary now, and maybe you can escape with your life later." "
Death immediately or possible death later."
"You have five seconds to choose. "
After the words fell, Ronald immediately began to count down:
"Five——" "
Four——"
"Three..."
"I said it, my lord, I said it!"
The assassin implemented the qualities he had always shown.
As the countdown reached the third second, the guy spoke in a daze:
"It's an underground boxing ring on the other side of the Weiss River."
"I'll take you there now!"
Ronald nodded solemnly. :
"Then lead the way."
"..."
The assassin, who broke free from Ronald's hand and regained his freedom, moved his body, looked at Ronald timidly, and then slowly began to lead the way.
So, Ronald gave a generous reminder:
"Our speed is related to how much time you have to escape."
"You can figure it out yourself."
"..."
The assassin's speed increased instantly.
Leading the way without looking back, he was in a hurry as if he was rushing to the supermarket to buy discounted eggs.
And following behind the assassin.
As Ronald hurried on, he continued to integrate the information he had received in his mind.
Since this guy said that he received an urgent assassination mission just today, and it was only an hour ago.
Then make a bold inference.
Is it because I received Leticia's attention tonight?
That's why someone participating in the dance would make such a choice driven by jealousy.
For some noble and wealthy businessmen.
This is enough reason for them to hire murderers to kill people.
And if this reason was established, it would also be established that such a weak magician would come to assassinate him.
After all, as long as Ronald's reputation is still circulated in the Bureau of Investigation, or among the upper class nobles and top businessmen. For people who are not very well-informed, it is still possible to cause an accident.
After making a simple judgment, Ronald also came to the other side of the Weiss River under the leadership of the assassin.
The hideout of the assassin's go-between is quite interesting.
Because Greed's laws do not explicitly prohibit black boxing gambling, and they do not approve of this kind of thing, black boxing is a relatively ambiguous industry.
It can bring considerable benefits to people.
In some cases, it can also be a place for patrol officers to make money or gain fame.
Even because of the existence of mysterious organizations like the Bureau of Investigation, security issues can be guaranteed to a certain extent.
So it’s just after going through a few uncomplicated circles.
Ronald was taken to the edge of a two-story building where all the windows were boarded up.
Standing at an invisible angle on the side of the main entrance of the building, the assassin nodded and bowed and said to Ronald:
"Sir, my intermediary is here."
"Shall we go in now?"
