Chapter 167 Aleister is definitely yours
"That's right, Mr. Lloyd. It's not a threat, it's a declaration: even if I die, I'll take a bite out of you. I advise you to think it over."
Boca made no secret of his hostility and aggressiveness: "Everyone has their weaknesses. And you can't always be so lawless - there will always be someone in Avalon who can deal with you."
But Tommy just felt ridiculous.
"Think it over again?"
Tommy chuckled: "Yes, I will think about it carefully."
Even if I was forced by Meg, it doesn't mean you can talk to me so toughly!
But a thought suddenly popped up in his mind - could it be that Meg had come to him, and was Boca behind this?
Or is it that Boca is really behind this matter?
Tommy narrowed his eyes slightly and asked tentatively, "The power of the Shadow Demon is very strong, right?"
"I am indeed very strong, but I am not weak either."
Boca's voice was low: "Mr. Aleister has already asked me. When do you plan to come see me?"
——Boca really knows Aleister!
Tommy screamed in his heart, and suddenly he felt that the world became brighter.
If he starts from this point, he can complete his task within three days!
The demon possessed by the Shadow Demon was called Aleister. Boka shouldn't have known this information, at least not so early. Even Grand Arbitrator Meg didn't know more, let alone Boka, who had no connections to the Inspectorate or the Supervisory Bureau.
In other words, Boca already knew who Aleister was!
It is even very likely that Aleister is his man!
No wonder he agreed to take action against Aiwass so quickly.
Because Boca knew from the beginning that nothing would happen to Aiwass - unless there was a special need, how could the cruel demon choose to capture Aiwass alive?
Tommy even felt that Aiwass was not kidnapped at all, but was deliberately hidden by Boca's vice president to give Avalon officials a reason to put pressure on him!
——In other words, Aiwass was actually faking his death!
This incident would undoubtedly lead to a blow to Noble Red, and Lloyd's would also be under pressure. He would be the first to bear the brunt... and when he was killed by Meg's curse and Lloyd's fell apart, he would conjure Aiwass and become a hero of Lloyd's and even Avalon.
What about public recognition, public opinion topics... Isn't this what Boca has been talking about all the time?
What a good plan! What a good plan!
As expected, he remained silent, but that wasn't a sign of weakness. He was simply preparing for his fatal strike... Tommy had to admit that Boca had indeed succeeded this time.
Even Tommy himself initially thought Shadow Fiend was a member of the Noble Red and didn't even think of Boka. Because Boka had no motive for doing that. But now he thought about it—wasn't his own death the perfect motive?
If he hadn't realized Aleister was Boca's and instead focused on searching the Society...he wouldn't have been able to find him in three days. Furthermore, Tommy's hostility and distress would likely cause the Society to abandon Tommy, or even kill him to silence him.
What a cruel Boca!
If he doesn't move, it's fine. But if he moves, it will be his death!
He originally thought that the other party was a rabbit that could only dig holes, but he didn't expect that it was a crocodile pretending to be a dead tree!
Tommy's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
The half-giant had to carefully control his anger to prevent himself from crushing the microphone easily.
"Of course I'll come to you, Mr. Boca."
Tommy chuckled softly, his hideous smile like a devil's: "Be careful... Of course, being careful is useless."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
On the other side, Boca's face was also extremely gloomy.
He said the intelligence would be delivered in the afternoon, but Minister Droste didn't tell the truth—he had sent Diomedes to deliver the intelligence that morning. He was so vigilant that he didn't even fully trust his allies.
It was after seeing that information that Boca was certain that Aleister was President Lloyd's man.
Joining Noble Red without knowing the identity of your mentor?
——How is this possible?
Droste didn't know, but Boca knew very well...the process of joining the Noble Red Society was not like this at all.
First, as a candidate member, you will study some of the demonology and ritual knowledge you will be given via email. Once you have a good understanding of it, two full members will be sent to conduct the assessment.
First there was an interview, then a written test. After passing both, there was the initiation ceremony.
"—We are all wounded fists, bloody hands, and scaleless blades."
Beating someone to death with your fists demonstrates your resolve—killing with fists is different from killing with cold weapons, and the feeling of using cold weapons is also different from using firearms. Beating someone to death with your fists takes a long time, with the other person begging for mercy, wailing, and screaming in agony, until the final beating.
This ritual has a powerful impact on people. It can also completely awaken a person's evil thoughts. This is to prevent someone from suddenly having a change of heart and deciding to quit after learning for a long time.
After all, there are many who are simply interested in the occult, or who simply have the potential to transcend the Dao, but are unaware of the nature of a demonologist. If they join the Noble Red before completely falling into darkness, they might suddenly regret it.
After that, one would use a knife to dissect the opponent's internal organs and perform the first ceremony with the person one had killed with one's own hands, thus officially embarking on the first path and becoming a transcendent being who transcended the path.
After completing all of these, you can obtain the "Noble Red" ring and be recruited as an apprentice by a mentor who has no apprentices, and continue to learn relevant knowledge from your mentor.
Unless it was a case like Aiwass's—a wild demonologist who killed the ring's owner and was directly recruited by senior members. In this case, there was no need for an initiation ceremony.
But that was a demonologist, not a demon.
Demons are extremely dangerous, and even the Noble Reds are wary of them. Joining a guild isn't something one can do casually. For example, the Hermes family lawyer had a hard time joining the Noble Reds.
And what Droste had said about the initiation process was completely wrong. In other words, the demon named "Aleister" had been deceived—he had never joined the Noble Red Order, yet the other party knew its principles and even took his ring. This meant that the person who deceived him must also be a member of the Noble Red Order, and certainly a mentor.
He wanted to use Shadow Fiend, but didn't want to introduce him to the society properly; as a mentor, he didn't dare tell his apprentice his name; and the most important thing was that there were not many mentors with free rings recently.
Noble Red was planning to make some big moves recently. The personnel near Glass Island were basically just fixed groups of two. The only vacant mentors were those like Lloyd's.
He knew he certainly wasn't, and that Lawyer York had been killed.
——Then the only one left is President Lloyd?
After all, there is no other possibility.
When Boca first heard "Mr. Lloyd's greetings," he was a bit suspicious, wondering if the other party was deliberately trying to lure him towards President Lloyd. After all, he really didn't want to mess with that bastard who was always losing his mind - he was completely unreasonable and always liked to force others to obey him.
But after receiving information from Minister Droste, Boca immediately realized that he should no longer have any luck.
If you retreat any further you will die!
Lloyd's murderous intentions had already begun to be exposed. He planned to take this opportunity to kill himself and put all the blame on himself!
Aleister must be Lloyd's man!
However, his ally has been killed...
Boca is in a heavy mood.
Lloyd was a fourth-level demonologist, just one step away from becoming a demon incarnate. He also sought the assistance of Aleister, a demon possessed by a shadow demon. They could attack him at any moment, and the ritual he had arranged in advance could easily be discovered and deciphered—after all, Lloyd might also bring in someone from the Noble Red.
There are serious ritual researchers in the association.
It is said that in the past, the society had a lineage of incantation masters, unlike the current situation where the royal family has complete control. But even though the lineage of incantation masters has been cut short, the ritual knowledge and curse knowledge left by the predecessors still exist.
In other words, he had fallen into an extremely dangerous situation.
Then he has nothing to fear.
He only has one chance... For the sake of his life, he plans to take a risk.
But if he handles it properly, perhaps he can clear his name.
If only he could get Aiwass back—
With a desperate mood, he made that call:
"Respected Great Guardian, I am Bran Boka."
"Yes, I'm turning myself in. I'm also going to accuse Tommy Lloyd, the president of Lloyd's, of thirty-six crimes, including murder, kidnapping, and extortion... and apply for witness protection."
