Chapter 198 (2/2)

”It's not possible. It's a trap from the beginning.” Loren shook his head and looked like thinking: ”he knew I was looking for Isaac, so he gave me a reason to have to come - there would be no good things to lose pie in the world, let alone simply like buying and selling.”

”Are you going to promise him?” Asriel was stunned and looked at him inexplicably. ”It's too risky, dear Loren. It's not your style.”

”No, if I don't know what he's going to do, it's called adventure.”

The black haired wizard shook his head: ”but now that he has guessed his next plan, the risk does not exist - not to mention, this Lord van steenow is very valuable. Why should he let go now?”

Since he came to eboden, he has always been in a state of black eyes. There is no reliable or absolutely reliable source of information - Ariel corona, bodrell, fansteno... All those who help themselves have ulterior motives or are ready to pit themselves.

The only one who can be trusted a little is the ”great grandfather” master Robert freswalker, but the old man seems unwilling to intervene in his own affairs. If he takes the initiative to ask for help, he will probably be rejected.

What Lauren needs most now is a sufficient intelligence source, an organization that can help him inquire and collect intelligence - at present, there is no more suitable object than the crutches.

If you can successfully subdue the crutches Gang, you can get a strong enough source of information in the south of eboden, even a stable source of wealth and a base where you can hide, which is really killing many birds with one stone.

”Accept the crutches?” the boy's expression seemed to hear something interesting: ”do you say you're going to be a gangster boss... This is really your style.”

”No, I think we can do something more interesting.” Lauren smiled. ”We can try to support a guy and make him the boss of the crutches - since we want to be bad guys, which one I prefer behind the scenes.”

”Oh... I'm so confident.” Asriel shrugged his shoulders, ”pretending to be mature” smiled and sighed: ”that Mr. van steno is still alive. What are you going to do with his property - don't you worry about being killed by him?”

”Then I'll give him a little more confidence and let him be sure.”

As he spoke, Lauren picked up the disheveled plate and went over to knock on the door.

... ”boss fansteno, the wizard ate up all his dinner!”

Sneaking into the room, the flattering dog leg said to fansteno, who sat by the window smoking a pipe, ”there's really nothing left. I ate it all.”

”Did he react?”

Fan Situo's gloomy face was very indifferent, and his eyes were hidden in the scattered smoke: ”for example, it was mentioned that... There was something wrong with the taste.”

”No, not at all!”

Looking at the dog leg's impatient expression, fansteno, who got the answer, narrowed his eyes, and his natural caution made him hesitate a little - was it his trick that was seen through, or was the wizard not as cunning as he thought?

No, it's not enough insurance. We must make sure it's safe.

”Go and tell the fool of the copper group to send more people and let our people get in - we must ensure that there will be no mistakes, but even those 'adults' will find it difficult. Any caution is necessary!”

”Well, what if it fails?”

As soon as the words came out, the dog leg wanted to slap himself in the face immediately - this is boss fansteno's plan. How can it fail?!

”Things are unpredictable, indeed... We may miss.”

There was no anger in fansteno's tone, but showed a mysterious smile: ”what if we fail? It's very simple - we just have to abandon the 'adult' and cooperate with Lord ain Rand.”
