Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 499: Heart Machine

Inside the mansion, Glar was in a rage. If it was anyone else, they wouldn't be able to calm down at this moment. A guard of his own mansion openly used the Blood Boiling Demon Crystal in public. Wasn't this clearly telling others that Viscount Grayer's mansion contained forbidden materials?

When he thought of what Ou Ban had said to him in the study room, he felt that it was meaningful. Not only was Glar angry, he was also afraid.

Oppen said, "I'll take care of this for you, Glar." However, although things could be suppressed, it could not suppress the hearts of outsiders. I believe you, I believe you won't hide military resources, but I'm not sure if others believe me or not. With me, I can still protect you. "However, if someone from above Wan Shang finds out, then even I can only stand by and watch. Therefore, you should know better than me how to deal with it."

These words were too frightening. The Blood Boiling Demon Crystal could not be used in public, at least in such a flashy manner. According to the empire's constitution, if this matter were to be exposed, the higher-ups would send people to investigate. As long as Grar could not produce the proper authorization for the magic crystals, he would have to go to the masters of the Empire's Justice Department. As a result, even if he was not guilty, he would still have to bleed heavily.

That loss was not something that a mere thousand magic crystals could make up for.

However, the magic crystals hidden in the cellar were not in the hands of the guards, and they were even foolishly used in the market. As long as it was a normal person, they would know that it couldn't be touched. They absolutely couldn't use it. Who would use something as flawed as the Blood Boiling Demon Crystal?

'"My lord, I've already checked. Bei Fen stayed in the bar for a long time last night and then went to the casino. I heard that she only left in the morning. Not long after, she did that at the market. This subordinate thinks there's something fishy about it." The guard captain of the mansion carefully organized the words. Grar was now like a gunpowder depot that could explode at any moment. He did not want to be accidentally injured.

"What do you mean? Someone is planning to frame me?" Glar was not stupid either, and could tell that the captain was right. He frowned, "No, who knows me …"

His expression suddenly changed. Don't walk out of the hall. The captain followed closely behind, only to find that Glar turned around and said, "You stay here!"

Walking alone into the cellar passageway, Glenn's heart pounded. The Blood Boiling Demon Crystal was hidden in the cellar, and now someone was planting dirt on it. If the two were to be linked together, the answer would be: This secret vault had already been exposed!

Glar's hands trembled when he saw the stench of the chain that had landed on the ground. He pushed open the door forcefully and raised the torch. Gral almost fainted. The evil beast he had been raised had its head cut off, and it was already rotten and stinky. Not far away, a box containing the Blood Boiling Demon Crystal was opened. Looking at the other places, it was also a mess. It looked like this place had not only been visited by someone, it had also been rummaged through.

Grar endured the dizziness and called the captain of the guards to curse before ordering his men to clean up the corpses of the beasts below. After the air in the vault became less disgusting, Glar personally counted it and found that three Blood Boiling Demon Crystals were missing. What was even more terrifying was that he had lost a box full of vouchers and secret letters. In that box, there were two million or so savings certificates, which he planned to use when he needed them urgently. That's fine, but those few secret letters can't be lost. Otherwise, Ou Ban would not be courteous to him once he was exposed, because that was important evidence of selling Ou Ban's secrets to the other two Dukes.

If he hadn't sold Ou Ban's secrets, how could Glar have such a treasury?

However, now that the voucher had disappeared with the secret letter, Grall had no way of judging whether it was money or not. The letter was only taken by accident. Or perhaps it was just for the letter. After that, he discovered that there were two more jewel necklaces missing. Each of the two necklaces was worth around 100,000 yuan, and it was also a considerable amount of wealth. Judging from this, the other party should still be doing it for money, otherwise, he wouldn't have done anything unnecessary.

However, Grar was unable to explain why the missing Blood Boiling Demon Crystal had reached his own bodyguard. Moreover, the damned bodyguard had to use the Blood Boiling Demon Crystal in public. There were too many blurry areas in the middle. However, after the guard used the magic crystal, he had already died because of the side effects of the magic crystal. Even if Gral wanted to figure him out, he couldn't do it.

He could only sigh at himself for his bad luck.

Now that the vault had been exposed, especially the existence of the Blood Boiling Demon Crystal, it was more like a hot potato. It's not like I lost it, not even if I didn't lose it. Glair thought about it and could only move the things inside as soon as possible to avoid causing more trouble.

While Grar was in a daze, Alan and Jorah were enjoying their afternoon tea in the restaurant in the small building.

After Alan came back yesterday, he counted once and discovered that Ruo La had stuffed him with more than a million savings certificates. This was not a small sum of money. If this money was used well, it could be exchanged for the fine equipment of a thousand-man army. Of course, it was barely enough to reach the luxurious disposition of the Deep Sea Scaled Concubine. Not everyone was as rich as Ouban. Every year, millions of dollars in military expenditure would be spent on the direct troops without even jumping an eyebrow.

Alan was naturally happy to receive this reward. However, while he was happy, he felt puzzled. What he was puzzled about was that Ruola was too generous. At most, there were only two million or so savings certificates in the box he got from Grar. Ruo La threw him two-thirds of them at once, and then he didn't leave in a hurry. It didn't feel like she was just trying to earn money and find excitement, as she had said before.

Moreover, Ruo La knew the interior of the mansion like the back of her hand. She even knew where Glarna's vault was. Since that was the case, she was able to do it alone last night. Why would she drag herself down for nothing and pay so much afterwards? It looked like he was pulling himself to cover for her. This reminded Ellen of the beast, which he had sliced with his flame breath. Anyone who had studied him carefully would be able to discern clues from the corpses of the ferocious beasts.

If Zora had planned to use herself as a cover from the start, that meant that she was not going for Grar's money, but for a deeper purpose. As for Alan, he naturally wanted him to dissect other people's eyes, at least so that Grar wouldn't guess what Zora was doing.

If that was the case, then this woman wouldn't be that simple.

Alan didn't like to be used as a gun, especially when a woman immediately used him after winning him some favor. This feeling was very bad. Of course, Ellen would not act rashly until there was sufficient evidence that Jorah had used him.

Seeing Ruo La talking in front of him, Allen had a strange thought: This might be an interesting game.

'"That's right. I asked someone to win all the money from the unlucky guard and then told him that as long as he crushed the crystal stone on the spot, he would return the money. Furthermore, he would double the amount of money he gave back, so the rest of the matter would be logical." Ruo La spread out her hands and said, "What do you think?"

"Very good. In this way, it's impossible for Glar to wash himself up even if he jumps into the water. Anyone would associate the Blood Boiling Demon Crystal with him."

"This is what I want." Ruo La smiled complacently.

"But Miss Ruola, that guard probably doesn't know that the thing in his hand is the Blood Boiling Demon Crystal, right?" Alan asked unexpectedly.

Ruo La was stunned and said, "Of course I can't let him know. Otherwise, my plan won't work."

"That's why he didn't know that with his Origin Energy that wasn't even at the tenth level, he would die after using the magic crystals, right? Furthermore, he didn't know that your promise was nothing more than an empty piece of paper?"

'"If I'm not mistaken, are you accusing me? Baron Allen, are you going to accuse me from a moral standpoint? Yes, that's right. I sacrificed a rank five guard, so what? He'll die sooner or later if I work for Gral!"

As soon as she spoke, Ruo La seemed to realize that she had said something wrong, and a strange expression flashed across her face. Ellen looked at him and shrugged, "I'm sorry, I probably don't think of Viscount Grayer as an enemy, so I feel that I'm disdainful of using these methods. But if I put him in a hostile position, believe me, as long as I can defeat my opponent, even if my methods are a little despicable, I'll be happy to use them."

Jorah's expression softened, and she joked, "You're scolding me for being despicable."

"No, this is just the intelligence of a commander."

Both of them laughed, but Alan's thoughts surged in his heart. Just now, he made a hypothesis, assuming that Grar was Jorah's enemy. Zora did not object to this statement, and judging from her natural appearance, she did subconsciously treat Grar as an enemy. This was strange. Grar was Ou Ban's subordinate. Why did the Count's sister treat him like an enemy?

It seemed that Ou Ban's circle of influence might not necessarily be peaceful. Alan thought.

"Believe me, after all this, Uncle Glar must be in a hurry to move the things in his vault. In the mansion, we can't move the property away. But if it's outside, you can imagine it. Uncle Glar was in a hurry to transport the things away, but he was met with a robber halfway. "What's better is that his things can't be seen, so if he loses them, he doesn't dare to make a big declaration, so he can only eat this mute loss." At this point, Ruo La's eyes shone with excitement, "How about it, Sir Allen, cooperate with me again?"

"Sure, but I can only send out three experts, including me." Alan said calmly.

"Alright, I'll take care of the trivial matters. After the matter is settled, you can have four or six of us. Of course, these things have to be left to me first. Let me turn them into proper funds before I pass them on to you."

"Miss Ruo La has already made a detailed plan. Of course, I would rather be respectful than obedient." Alan laughed. He had an idea. This second robbery would be a good time to find out Ruola's secret.
