Chapter 102 A Script with a Changed Style
Could it be that Mr. Angel discovered traces of a hidden being similar to Mr. Fool?
Could Mr. Fool know the other person?
Miss Justice's inner kitten is practically meowing.
What you see may not be what you actually see.
Mr. Fool responded.
A riddle teller, huh? Anyone can do that!
He now somewhat understood how the Great felt when facing Zarathustra; these riddle-makers were truly annoying.
Moreover... Klein's answer was based on evidence and references.
He observed the "angel's" emotions through his spiritual vision, which remained purple, a color primarily symbolizing spirituality.
This suggests that this guy may not have actually discovered any substantial evidence; he just had some guesses and wanted to verify his judgment through his reaction.
What you see may not be what you actually see.
Xia Er nodded thoughtfully.
He seemed to understand, yet also seemed not to, and fell into deep thought.
"Justice," "The Hanged Man," and "The Sun" exchanged a blank glance.
They can't understand anything.
"Don't worry about things that are too far removed from your lives."
"That concludes this 'Tarot Session'."
Klein tapped the table lightly, announcing the end of the party.
He was feeling a bit tired.
"As you wish."
Chael followed the others, bowed to Mr. Fool, and then said goodbye.
The real world.
Chael opened her eyes and listened intently; the bathroom room remained quiet.
That's good; it seems there aren't many people in the church who slack off at work and steal their paychecks.
He returned to his old workstation, where Senior Gray was still organizing documents.
"You've become a Sequence 7 Extraordinary?"
The woman's expression was somewhat strange when she saw Chael return.
Just a month ago, she was still a senior colleague.
"There's nothing to be proud of."
Xia Er slightly raised her chin and said.
"So you came back specifically to show off to me?"
Senior Gray rolled her eyes at Xia Er. "Aren't you proud? If you're not proud, why are you holding your chin up so high? Do you want to look down on me?"
"No, I've had enough of the Charnis Gate. The environment inside is a bit harmful to my health."
"I'm back to rest and recuperate."
Shael cleared a portion of the files from Senior Gray's desk, and the shadow beneath his feet rose to life, as if it were alive.
Walking in the shadows, he brewed black tea for the two of them.
"Fortunately, the church doesn't have very good natural lighting."
Chael was quite satisfied with the Church of the Night's architectural style, which was full of shadows.
"Your ability is so convenient."
Senior Gray's eyes lit up when she saw the shadowy servant.
"Not as good as a nightmare."
"I've always thought that entering a dream world is more fun."
The shadow servant brought over the teacup, then transformed back into Xia'er's shadow. Xia'er picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said...
"The dreamers might not think that way; they might prefer to have their own good dreams."
"Here is a document related to you; you can take a look."
Allison Gray smiled and then handed a document to Xia Er.
"News from Tingen?"
Xia Er took it and glanced at it.
This is a case of extraordinary fraud reported by the city of Tingen.
After the steel company's money was tied up, this fraudster, Lanius, did not stop. Instead, he chose to continue to expand his financing and even reached out to conservative nobles who had transformation needs but were not familiar with business models.
Using a deposit slip showing tens of thousands of pounds at the Tingen branch of Backlund Bank, MP Maynard planned to take action against him. With his underhanded tactics to "seize" control of the steel company and his persuasive tongue, he actually managed to convince some of the Conservative aristocrats in Tingen to secretly support him.
As a result, the non-existent steel company eventually went bankrupt.
The investments of the middle class in the bank were fine, but the money that the nobles handed over to Lanius was directly swindled away by this fraudster. In the process, Member of Parliament Maynard, who made a small profit, was successfully hated by the economically damaged Conservative nobles.
Chael knew more details than what was recorded here.
Mrs. Sharon, the widow of Baron Hoy, contributed significantly to this process, cooperating with Lanruis's actions, and also faded from view as a victim of deception.
In the end, the fraudster returned all of Mrs. Sharon's money.
Other people's money disappeared.
As Xia Er sorted through these messages, she was somewhat... speechless.
In Tingen, the conflict between the Conservative Party and the New Party is perhaps... quite significant.
Although the Conservative Party's money was swindled by Laneus.
But it's true that MP Maynard wants to use this situation to cause trouble for the former Conservative mayor of Tingen.
In the eyes of the Conservative Party, the mastermind could not be an ordinary fraudster; he must be an evil New Party MP.
To damage their reputation, swindle their money, and insult their intelligence: This is blatant humiliation!
"Lanius, what a despicable fraudster."
"I really hope the kingdom's laws can bring him to trial soon."
Xia Er put down the documents in his hand and said seriously.
"If I'm not mistaken, he should be a thief pathway sequence 8 fraudster, or even higher, otherwise it would be difficult for him to get the nobles of Tingen to actually hand over the money in such a short time."
Allison Gray's attitude toward this is simply to wait and see.
Even if the church's extraordinary members were to intervene, it would be useless; they might be able to capture the person, but the money would be impossible to recover.
"Your father, Congressman Maynard, played a somewhat complicated role in this incident."
Allison looked at Xia Er and said.
"I knew he had already figured out this was probably a scam and wanted to use it to damage the former mayor's reputation while helping middle-class families save their savings."
"What I didn't expect was that Lanius was actually able to trick those nobles into handing over a portion of their money."
What else could Chael say?
A con artist + a pleasure witch + 0-08 is terrifyingly bad.
Instead of escalating partisan conflicts, at least they didn't resort to brutal assassinations.
"Is this your excuse for seducing Lanius's fiancée?"
As she spoke, Allison took out another report and pointed to an inconspicuous spot in it, asking a question.
"They even need to investigate this?"
"No, what do you mean by seduction?"
As Xia Er spoke, the shadow behind her swayed.
"If it's not seduction, then what is it? Coercion or bribery?"
Allison glanced at the restless shadow on the ground and laughed.
That's called mutual attraction.
"Moreover, the Church of Storms is the only one that prohibits premarital sex."
Chael leaned back, blending into the shadows behind her, feeling as comfortable as if she were in a hammock.
You're wrong.
Allison shook her head.
Did I say something wrong?
Shael peeked out from the shadows. Neither the Church of the Night nor the Church of Steam and Machines actually had such strict restrictions on premarital behavior; only the Church of Storms emphasized it more.
He didn't misremember.
"The Church of Storms only prohibits premarital sex for women, not for men."
"Our church promotes gender equality and does not prohibit either."
Allison spoke casually, tossing the report back to him.
