Chapter 80 You can do it yourself
As soon as the person fell from the building, two young priests in their twenties or thirties rushed over and cast illumination spells to rescue him. But unfortunately, it was ultimately useless.
Allen's reaction was very quick.
When he realized that the deceased might have been assassinated, he asked others to stay away from trying to rescue the priest and the body, and immediately sent people to block the stairs. At the same time, he asked the waiters who were stopped on the second floor because of the blocked stairs to immediately close all the windows on the second floor to prevent anyone from escaping during the chaos.
"Everyone, please remain quiet and stay where you are. The Supervisory Bureau will arrive within ten minutes."
Allen's deep, clear voice echoed throughout the building. As a characteristic of the Path of Authority, his voice could become quite resonant.
Although his voice did not contain the power of authority that could control others' minds, his calmness and composure suppressed the slightly aroused tension and confusion.
After that, Allen picked up the phone on the counter and started dialing.
However, he didn't call the Supervisory Bureau directly, but instead called his father. Allen briefly described the White Shoes Club incident and asked him to report it on his behalf. He also specifically pointed out that "Her Highness Isabel was also present today."
Aiwass and his companions didn't have time to go to the second floor, so they stopped on the first floor before the stairs were blocked.
He just stayed quietly beside Allen.
But what surprised Aiwas was that he didn't have anything special to remind him of.
Because he completely skipped the plot, Aiwass had no idea that this long-faced half-elf senior was so outstanding. Faced with the sudden situation, although Allen was stunned for a moment, he quickly reacted.
Considering that Allen is a half-elf and is only 21 years old, he is indeed talented in this area.
He has such talent, but is so weak... It can only be said that his mind is indeed not on extraordinary power.
But Allen actually has the confidence to be willful.
After all, he wasn't the eldest son, but the third. Furthermore, as a half-elf, his lifespan could easily reach 140 or 150 years. Of Aron's natural lifespan of over a hundred years, only 70% or 80% had passed. He still had plenty of time to grow and regret—assuming he didn't die.
A call from the Attorney General himself obviously carries a lot of weight.
Allen said it was ten minutes... but in fact, only a little over five minutes had passed. A large group of people pushed open the door and rushed in, causing bursts of low exclamations.
They wore black hats resembling helmets, two-piece black leather armor, and carried a pistol and a dagger on their waists. The first wave of people entering alone numbered over twenty, and the first floor lobby instantly became crowded.
They moved through the crowd, forming a human wall that surrounded the scene. Then came two inspectors wearing white gloves and black suits.
Then, there was a heavy sound of heavy boots hitting the ground outside the door.
An old knight, almost fully armed, wearing silver-white plate armor with only his helmet missing, walked in from the wide-open door.
He had messy short hair that had turned gray due to aging, and sharp dark blue pupils. His dark bronze skin was covered with visible scars, but those scars faintly permeated with a silvery-white light.
What was somewhat surprising was that the old knight was carrying a pure white two-handed sword emitting a faint glow behind him.
It didn't look like a modern weapon at all, let alone a weapon of mass destruction that could be used in a city.
After the old knight entered the room, he scanned the area with his eagle-like eyes and found Isabel.
"Greetings, Her Majesty Isabelle."
The old knight half-knelt upon entering, and uttered in a deep, aged voice, "Silver-Crowned Dragon, I will protect your safety."
Among the inspectors and supervisors, a few also half-knelt in salute. The ritual itself holds a mystery and power. This half-kneeling ceremony, a ritual reserved exclusively for knights, signifies submission to the royal authority and a quest for power, strength, and protection from a higher being.
Only the knight families could perform this salute to the royal family; others could only bow. Through the power of the Path of Authority, the performer could vaguely sense the mood, intentions, and health of the one being saluted, and confirm whether the other person was a true direct descendant of the royal family.
Isabel didn't know him at all, so she could only politely nod slightly to the old knight and whisper, "Thank you... Please stand up."
The old knight stood up and walked over to Isabel. The inspectors then began investigating the deceased and collecting the documents scattered on the ground.
Everyone in the club now turned their eyes to Isabel.
Although Isabel had been standing at the door for a long time and many people noticed her, she was not the first one to come. Some people were concentrating on talking to others inside and did not notice Isabel at the door.
Isabel was one-quarter elven, and though she looked younger, she was over 1.6 meters tall. Even if a passerby saw the blonde girl from behind, unless they could see her face clearly, they wouldn't immediately associate her with the kingdom's last remaining princess.
After all, Isabel also had to wear a school uniform at school, and there were too many blonde girls at the Royal Law University.
Isabel was wearing a blue and white uniform similar to the one Haena wore when she first came to Moriarty Manor—that was not the uniform of the Supervisory Bureau, but the uniform of the Royal Law University.
The girls' school uniform is a white long-sleeved shirt with a dark blue vest skirt on the outside, while the boys' school uniform jacket is a dark blue suit. The only difference between different departments is the color of the tie. The common point is the Royal Law University logo on the left chest.
Princess Isabelle had never been inside the White Shoes Club before.
Just on the first day she arrived, someone died in the club.
You know, since the White Dance Shoes Club was founded more than 40 years ago, no one has ever died in it!
Even though there were occasional fights, there weren't even any injuries. Not to mention such a blatant assassination!
The two priests used illumination magic at the first opportunity but were unable to save the body. This was definitely a murder involving profound and extraordinary powers!
Was this a failed assassination attempt on Her Royal Highness? Or had someone misunderstood her entry into the White Shoes Club? Or was it just a simple coincidence?
Since most people were not familiar with the deceased, the crowd began to discuss in low voices.
"I'm the Chief of the Inspectorate of the Red Queen Division."
The old knight said solemnly, his face stern, "Your Highness may call me Gordon. Inspector General Edward is on his way. The 1st Air Cavalry Battalion has surrounded the club building. No one will be able to escape."
——Only one person died, but the Director of the Supervision Bureau and the Inspector General immediately came in person.
This was an efficiency level that would have been impossible to achieve through normal police reporting procedures. It was entirely due to the fact that Princess Isabel happened to be at the scene.
In other words, Allen reacts quickly.
When he saw the dark golden handleless blade, he immediately realized that it was beyond his ability to handle, so he asked the Attorney General to personally notify the Inspector General of the Red Queen District.
If it were a dagger, it would be fine. But this thin blade without a handle was undoubtedly an alien weapon.
Although it is not known how it is used specifically, the user must have received special training.
In other words, a professional killer.
But their White Shoes Club does not allow entry without the "Crystal Shoes" badge.
In other words, a professional killer had infiltrated a political society with strict entry restrictions where the only remaining princess of Avalon was active.
If Allen couldn't handle this properly, the entire club would be implicated. Everyone might be subject to interrogation and a secret investigation by the Inspectorate...even his father might be implicated.
It was because of this situation that Allen called his father directly.
——This is the situation anyway. You can handle it yourself.
The effect is also very significant.
Although it was unknown whether the assassin was still inside or had quietly escaped, and although it was unknown whether they would be needed, there was no doubt that reinforcements were sufficient - a steady stream of people began to rush towards the White Dance Shoes Club.
Aiwass even thought that even Director Kent of White Queen District might have received the call and started sending people here. Perhaps Sherlock had also been notified... After all, he was Director Kent's designated right-hand man, with an external thinking circuit.
"Director!"
At this moment, an inspector came over with a nervous look on his face and said, "The identity of the deceased has been found out!
"—He is Lord Raff, the chief private secretary of Lord Droste!"
Hearing this, Lily, who was standing quietly behind Aiwass, suddenly opened her eyes wide.
