Chapter 136 Public Vest



Uh... Fors was stunned for a second, almost suspecting that he had seen it wrong.

Then, thoughts popped up in her mind one after another uncontrollably:

Mr. World wants to take on this mission? That’s right, he’s in Backlund.

But this is an investigation, not a murder. Dwayne Dantes has suffered enough, so just let him go!

If the target of the investigation is eliminated, does that mean the investigation is successful? Because there is no need to investigate anymore...

What should I do? Should I still take this task? It's worth 500 pounds. I can get at least 200 pounds just by repeating what I found before, but my competitor is Mr. World... Maybe it's cooperation, not competition?

Hey, why is Mr. World interested in this mission? Is he actually concerned about the false accusation of Baron Sindras or the attack on Congressman Macht?

When Fors finally grasped the essence of the problem, Alger, the Hanged Man, and Cattleya, the Hermit, had already set their sights on Gehrman Sparrow, the World. To them, whether it was the false accusation of Baron Sinderas, the attack on Councillor Macht, or the donation of several thousand pounds by the wealthy businessman Dwayne Dantes, they were not matters that needed special attention. However, the fact that Mr. Fool's followers took the initiative to take over the investigation task made the problem seem extremely complicated, and it seemed that there seemed to be some important secret hidden in it.

"Moon" Emlyn didn't think too much about it, but he also realized that this seemingly ordinary investigation task was not so easy. He originally planned to earn some pocket money to make up for the "wallet" that was about to lose 5,000 pounds in cash, but now he suddenly didn't want to speak.

Is Dwayne Dantès really not a simple person? Is he a big problem, so much so that Mr. World took the initiative to take over the investigation of him? Or are those two cases more important and more critical than I thought? Justice Audrey's heart moved, and her eyes turned slightly. Taking advantage of her position, she remembered all the reactions of the Tarot Club members in her mind.

Among them, only "Sun" Derrick was out of the situation.

For him, isn't it normal for Tarot Club members to help each other? If someone gives you a task and you have the ability and conditions to complete it, isn't it normal for you to choose to take it?

Audrey "Justice" immediately turned her gaze back to the bottom of the bronze table and asked with implicit expectation:

"Mr. 'World', do you want to take this mission?"

After returning to Backlund, she collected the maritime news from the previous few months and preliminarily confirmed that Mr. "World" was the crazy adventurer Gehrman Sparrow. She deeply admired this seemingly polite but actually dangerous man who had done many great things. She felt that her passion for maritime adventure had faded a lot.

Klein had already thought of a response. After manipulating the dummy "World" to raise his hand, he waited for Miss "Justice" to ask questions. At this time, he asked "Gehrman Sparrow" to have a serious expression and speak in a low voice:

"Dwayne Dantès is an identity."

After a brief but repeated consideration, Klein decided to reveal some information and position Dwayne Dantès as the public vest of his followers!

He believed that if he chose to conceal the truth this time, there would still be a risk of being exposed later, because Dwayne Dantès was about to go deep into Backlund's upper class society and might find clues to the smog incident and other cases at any time. In this case, it was very likely that Miss Justice would need to provide indirect help. By then, this "audience" would most likely be able to notice something and discover that the "world" had been deliberately concealing the truth, and Mr. Fool had not reminded him.

This will reduce her sense of belonging and even make her doubt more things, triggering a crisis of trust in the Fool.

The two members do not know each other and are unaware of each other's existence, but they cooperate tacitly. By completing the tasks in the designated links, they piece together the completion of the overall goal. This seems to be a beautiful thing, but it is actually very difficult to succeed. This is especially true when the partner is a mid-sequence extraordinary person of the "audience" path. It is not very likely to hide it from the other party!

So, most of the time, confessing is a better, more effective and less troublesome way to deal with things than lying.

As for why he didn't just say that Dion Dantes was Gehrman Sparrow, it was because Klein didn't want to leave the Tarot Club members with the impression that it was him again and why he was the only one of Mr. Fool's followers.

Dwayne Dantès is just an identity? "Justice" Audrey keenly read the hidden meaning in this sentence and vaguely guessed it.

Then, she heard the World Gehrman Sparrow simply say:

“An identity that I share with my peers.

"I occasionally disguise myself as him."

Having said that, he glanced at the "magician" without any emotion.

A shared identity...occasionally disguised as him...the miserable Dwayne Dantès is Mr. Gehrman Sparrow of the "world"? The wealthy businessman with kidney or prostate problems is Mr. Gehrman Sparrow of the "world"? "Magician" Fors seemed to be struck by lightning, and his whole body froze.

While her brain was paralyzed, she inexplicably felt a little scared, and subconsciously felt that Xio's unintentional words before made sense:

When a person's housekeeper, servant, neighbors and surrounding environment all have problems, the possibility that he himself is normal is not high!

No, it wasn't that the neighborhood where Dwayne Dantes lived or the housekeeper he hired happened to have secrets, but that they were chosen by Dwayne Dantes and Gehrman Sparrow because they had secrets! It wasn't Dwayne Dantes who was pitiful and miserable, but the extraordinary things around him! I was wrong, I shouldn't have let Hugh say that the goddess would bless him, which was more like a curse to Mr. Gehrman Sparrow, the "world"... Fors suddenly shuddered, and was extremely glad that she didn't suggest Dwayne Dantes to see a doctor for kidney or prostate disease in her message.

Otherwise, she suspected that she would not be able to attend this Tarot gathering, or she would attend in the form of extraordinary characteristics and be sold to other members by "the world".

Normally, Mr. World shouldn't know that I'm a magician, but I was carrying Lemanno's Travel Notes at the time... He had used this magic book and added demigod-level extraordinary abilities! He must have secretly observed me, remembered my appearance, and assessed my value... Fors's fear was as surging as the sea, and her expression was full of bitterness.

At this moment, she saw Mr. "World" glance at her coldly, and the feeling of regret instantly escalated into extreme regret.

Fortunately, fortunately I didn't rush to answer and didn't say what I thought of Dwayne Dantès... When Fors gradually calmed down from her state of panic, she couldn't help but think of another question:

In the previous bodyguard mission, were we protecting Dwayne Dantès, or was Dwayne Dantès protecting us... Should I return the money to Mr. Gehrman Sparrow?

This... Sometimes, Dwayne Dantès is equal to Mr. World... Audrey was shocked at first, but then she felt that all the doubts in her heart were solved:

Fors did know Dwayne Dantès, but she didn't know that he was Mr. World. Her obviously frightened reaction just now proved this.

Dwayne Dantès was more surprised to see me because he recognized the "Lie" necklace. Although this magical item has changed its appearance, it itself comes from the extraordinary properties provided by Mr. "World". Perhaps it has some kind of connection with this crazy adventurer. After all, Gehrman Sparrow can also disguise himself as anyone and has the ability to adjust his face!

Although I only asked Mr. "The Hanged Man" what to do if animals took the potion, I often collected double the materials afterwards. Mr. "The World" might have guessed that there were other "audiences" around me, so he was wary of Susie who was hiding in the dark and observing the hall... Others might not suspect animals, but Mr. "The World" has rich experience and must have come into contact with extraordinary creatures, so it is normal for him to be wary of things in this regard.

That is to say, Dwayne Dantès, no, Mr. Gehrman Sparrow of the "World" already knew that I was "Justice" at that time, but he chose not to contact or communicate with me. Well, there was nothing wrong with his handling of the matter. In that situation, unless he said it directly, it would be difficult for me to guess or believe it. And talking about things related to the Tarot Club in Saint Samuel's Church... This, this is really too crazy!

After a brief moment of bewilderment and shock, most of Audrey's emotions quickly subsided, leaving only excitement.

Apart from the "magician" Fors whom she introduced to the club, this was her first time meeting other members of the Tarot Club in real life!

"It feels like history is being written at this moment! Um, Mr. World, and Mr. Fool's other followers, um, they should also be considered the World, why did they come up with the identity of Dwayne Dantès? What exactly do they want to do?

"The false accusation against Baron Sindras, the attack on Senator Macht, and their donations to establish a scholarship fund are really more complicated and more important than I expected... Why do I suddenly feel that the upper echelons of the kingdom are beginning to become uneasy? I had this feeling when the smog incident that killed Prince Edessak occurred, and it's even stronger today...

"Now that I know Dwayne Dantes's identity, I may be able to participate and cooperate indirectly to reduce the risk of my parents being affected and the risk of innocent people dying..." Audrey, "Justice", made a decision quickly. That was to agree with her father and join the "Loen Charity Student Aid Fund". Then, she muttered in her heart:

Isn't it reasonable that the charity fund established by Mr. "World" of the Tarot Club is joined by "Justice" of the Tarot Club?

At this moment, Alger, the Hanged Man, and Cattleya, the Hermit, were not too surprised that Dwayne Dantès was the World, the gathering of Mr. Fool's followers. The most common thought that flashed through their minds was:

Big things are going to happen to Backlund!

PS: There will be an additional update for the Golden Alliance today.

PS2: I recommend a book, "The Great Dandy of the Ming Dynasty", which was written by a classmate named Tan Lang, who has a fierce face and seems like a gangster boss but actually has very positive values. He said he would treat me to super big mantis shrimps!
