Hearing Vaughn's response, the man sat directly in the seat opposite Vaughn, then ordered a glass of wine and began to wait silently. During this process, he would occasionally look at Vaughn who was tasting wine and reading the newspaper, and then he asked as if he had nothing to do.
"Sir, it is fate that we meet here. May I ask your name?"
"Vaughn Hunter." Vaughn simply answered his name and continued to look at the newspaper. The man opposite him thought for a while after hearing the name and then continued to speak.
"Vaughn Hunter... I don't think this is his real name."
"Yes, of course this is not my real name. My real name is Bill Max. Normally, this name cannot be spoken casually. Don't tell anyone else after I tell you." Vaughn said this, and the man introduced himself after hearing it.
"Oh, so it's Mr. Max... But generally speaking, the hidden real name can't be easily told to others. Is it really okay for you to tell me like this?"
"What's wrong with that? I'm in a good mood today. I can say whatever I want to say. Who can control me..."
Vaughn continued to speak like this, and after listening to his son's words, Ed nodded slightly, then continued to introduce himself.
"My name is Ed. Nice to meet you." Ed said this and stretched out his hand forward. Vaughn paused slightly after seeing him, then stretched out his hand and shook hands with Ed.
"I'll just tell you my real name, and don't call me by it in public. Just call me Vaughn." After putting his hand away, Vaughn said to Ed in a slightly serious tone. Ed immediately responded after hearing it.
"Okay, okay, Mr. Vaughan, then I want to ask you, what is the reason for using a pseudonym? Are you hiding from some enemy?"
"Of course not. If I had an enemy, I would have killed him long ago. The reason I use a pseudonym is to hide better in Tivian. I was sent here by my organization to lurk, so naturally I need to use some means to disguise myself." Vaughn said leisurely while drinking red wine, and Ed spoke curiously after listening to his words.
"Mr. Vaughn's organization, is that the company you work for?"
"How could it be something as mundane as a company? My organization is the Wolf Blood Society, a well-known large organization in the secret world! Don't compare it with other things casually." Vaughn then spoke solemnly. Listening to his words, Ed couldn't help but admire him a little.
"The Wolf Blood Society... I've heard of it before. It's the grand alliance of the three afterbirth religions that worships gluttonous wolves. I didn't expect Mr. Vaughn to be a member of it. I really didn't expect it... By the way, you're not a special member of the Wolf Blood Society, are you?"
"Of course I am an extraordinary member of the Wolfblood Society, and a Cretaceous werewolf at that." Vaughn said with some pride. After hearing his words, Ed spoke with even more admiration.
"Cretaceous level... that's really amazing. People at this level are usually middle- or high-level cadres. Is Mr. Vaughn the same?"
"Of course. I originally had a lot of people under me. However, in order to prevent the organization from being discovered by the church or the Security Bureau due to its large scale, I came here without anyone. Now I have to do a lot of small things myself. It's a trouble..." Vaughn rubbed his wrist and said with some complaints, and Ed continued to ask.
"Wolfblood would send a white person like you to lurk here. I guess the other party must be a being of higher status."
"That's right. The person who asked me to come here is Elder Duval, one of the seven elders of our Wolfblood Society and a 'Terrible Devouring Wolf' of the Red Order. All our activities in Tivian are under his jurisdiction. I am his trusted subordinate, so I was sent here to carry out the mission." Vaughn continued calmly, and Ed nodded slightly after hearing this and continued to ask.
"Since they were able to send such an important person as Mr. Vaughn to carry out a separate undercover mission, I believe that Elder Duval must be planning something very important. Do you know what his plan is? Or where he is now?"
"Elder Duval is now in the suburbs outside Tivian, but I don't know exactly where he is, as it changes frequently. As for what he is planning... I only know that he wants to take a biography from the church in Tivian, but why he wants to steal that biography... and what method he plans to use to steal it, I don't know. He arranged for me to go to Tivian just to connect with one of our spies in the church. I guess only Elder Duval knows the specific details of the plan, and he usually doesn't explain too much when he gives us tasks."
Vaughn continued to respond while drinking red wine. Listening to his words, Ed frowned slightly and then continued to ask.
"So... you know nothing about the elder's plan?"
"I can't say I know nothing. After listening to some of the instructions Elder Duval gave me before, I can still roughly guess what his specific plans are. For example, he definitely plans to rob the biography instead of stealing it. As for how to rob it, only he knows. And the time of Elder Duval's action will be in the next few days. When the specific time is confirmed, I will be notified, because I also need to take action.
"I guess Elder Duval is waiting for more information about the Chant Church. My insider in the Chant Church will send similar information next. I will pass this information to Elder Duval later. After combining the information about the Chant Church obtained from other channels, he will probably make a judgment and take immediate action. I think I will get more detailed information..."
Vaughn said this leisurely while leaning on the chair behind him. Listening to his words, Ed couldn't help but think for a while, and then said with a smile.
"I see... Thank you for telling me this valuable information. But is it really okay for you to casually leak such important information to a stranger?"
"Machine tons? Can these things be called machine tons? You can just say it casually. What's the big deal? I'm in a good mood today. I just said it directly because I like you. It's nothing serious after I said it." Vaughn spread his hands and said casually with a nonchalant expression. Seeing this, Ed continued to ask him with a smile.
"In that case, I would like to ask you a question, Mr. Vaughan. What did you have for dinner tonight?"
After Ed finished speaking, Vaughn raised his eyebrows, and his expression instantly became solemn. He immediately became wary of Ed in front of him, and spoke cautiously in a very serious tone.
"Mr. Ed, you're going too far, aren't you? You're asking me this kind of question directly... Isn't that a little too rude? Of course, all those irrelevant questions before were just your probing. What did I eat for dinner... That's what you really care about... Of course, you're not a simple person...
"I'm sorry, this is a confidential question... I will never answer you even a little bit, this is my bottom line."
Facing Ed in front of him, Vaughn spoke very solemnly, with an attitude that he would keep the secret strictly at all costs. Somewhere in the distance, Dorothy, who was experimenting with her new ability, felt a little amused.
