Chapter 194 – Let Him Die (1/2)

“Hah? You want to ask me how our operation is going? Elena, why are you suddenly asking about that… just casually asking? Hm, we’re in the middle of a competition right now, I’ll tell you afterward… no? Strange, what are you so impatient for, don’t you know about it as well? Lin Xiao should have told you… detailed specifics? It’s related to where Lin Xiao went? … Eh? Really? Okay, okay, then I’ll tell you.”

Faced with Elena’s repeated questioning, Rosie couldn’t dissuade her and could only start quietly chatting with her.

They’ve never really had a close relationship, this is the first time that Elena has voluntarily spoken to her from what she remembers, so it felt new.

The aloof maid finally needed some help, and couldn’t help but ask Rosie to share information. And Elena did this because she was worried about her master… Rosie’s earlier judgment was right, Elena has a secret physical relationship with her master. Look, it’s not even been a half day and she’s already worried, that’s the best proof.

Of course, Rosie wasn’t someone who would hold onto someone’s ponytail and not let go. She slowed her pace and quietly chatted with Elena.

As for their operation, it was best that Caesar didn’t find out. Although Shen DaiYing might be a killer, but she didn’t have any definitive proof. Secretly investigating was one thing, viciously slandering someone was another.

“You should know the approximate situation from Lin Xiao, right? You probably just don’t know what happened later on.”

“Later on?”

It turns out that a couple of days ago, Lin Xiao went to Rosie and the two carefully went over all the details of everything related to Shen DaiYing and found a useful clue.

Although they had no way of proving it (and of course Lin Xiao didn’t confess all his information), but they found a connection between all three assassinations.

The merchant Jackson, the finance minister David, and the Great Sage Hobson… if these three were all killed by Shen DaiYIng, then there must have been a common reason, if they could find it, then there would be a new breakthrough!

“After I told Lin Xiao about all the information I obtained, his conclusion was human trafficking!” Rosie seriously leaned next to Elena’s ear while glancing at Caesar, afraid that he would hear.

It looked as if the three were not related in any way, but they had something in common… they all had a close interest with human trafficking.

“Jackson was a slave trader in the first place, he has a monopoly of it in Lombard Kingdom, he even does human trafficking in the black market. He’s been secretly increasing his influence, now that he’s dead, all that has come crashing down.”

“David was Jackson’s shield, they often conspired together and was paid off very well. Now that he’s dead, the whole slave industry is being rearranged and the monopoly has been torn down… really, a while ago my father said that he wanted to get into the slave trade, but I firmly disagreed? How could he do that? I don’t want him to get assassinated for doing immoral business!”

As Rosie wandered off topic, Elena glared at her and she quickly went back on track.

“Hmph, Hobson is last… the strange thing was, he was a very righteous person and had a clean record. He was one of the most trusted sages, if you had to find a connection, then… he advocated for strict control of human trafficking, and restricting slave trades with the final goal of completely prohibiting it. He was too idealistic and perhaps he accidentally touched someone he shouldn’t have and was marked.”

After listening to all the information about those three, Elena fell into deep thought.

That was all the information that Lin Xiao and Rosie had, but Elena couldn’t understand.

What did human trafficking have to do with Shen DaiYing? … Was she helping people take care of them, then why did she have to come all the way to Lombard Kingdom to help someone?

Who is it, is it that fatty Anderson?

“Wait… did Lin Xiao already guessed Shen DaiYing’s next target?” Elena quietly muttered.

Now she knew why those two suddenly disappeared!

Perhaps Lin Xiao could already tell who her next target was from the information, so he secretly followed her after she left.

Must have been, that guy likes her so much that he definitely would do something like that!

But now the question was, who was her next target?

Elena already had all the information, everything that Lin Xiao knows, but she still couldn’t make out Shen DaiYing’s plans…

Since she stealthily left, then that meant at least, her target was on Despair Island… but which team?

Could it be those strange siblings from Bamboo Academy?

No, they shouldn’t be involved with human trafficking.

Or is the the prince from Heino Academy?

No, why would he involve himself with human trafficking, he also wasn’t trying to prohibit it like Hobson.

Cato and Water Academy were already eliminated, and Elena didn’t know much about the remaining teams. Was there still someone else important among them? If that was the case, then there’s no way she would know!

She could only ask Rosie to see if there were anyone within the teams that were related to human trafficking, like gangsters, slave traders, etc…

Rosie tried remembering but came out empty-handed.

Elena helplessly sighed and shook her head with an indescribable sense of disappointment.

Lin Xiao already got the answer yet she was still in the dark and couldn’t help at all… but, why did she have to help?
