Chapter 234: Dropping the Façade
"I just want to know how you gather information in the Rivas Grand Duchy. The appearance of the Lust Devil and his movements have actually shocked the Rivas family’s troops. It’s suspicious that this happened at the same time and place where Irene Rivas was located. It almost seems as if the Lust Devil knew exactly where to appear. At this specific moment, the information guild claimed there was no activity from any members of the Seven Deadly Sins in Ilyon Town," Aldrian explained.
"Please explain to me, Guild Master Pedro, how you provided that information to the Rivas family," Aldrian pressed with a smile. However, Guild Master Pedro couldn’t shake the ominous feeling that smile gave him, as if something terrible was about to happen.
"Well, at that time, we could only detect the movements of the Wrath Devil in the Rivas Grand Duchy. It was thanks to our brave informants stationed at the border. Because of their sacrifices, we were able to track the Wrath Devil. All of that information was sent directly to headquarters using a long-distance artifact. The special department personnel received and handled the details. As for the Lust Devil, we really don’t know about his movements—none of our men ever saw him," Guild Master Pedro explained.
Aldrian nodded, but inwardly, he sneered.
"Half-truths mixed with lies. It seems true that he doesn’t know the Lust Devil’s movements, but it looks like he—or someone from the information guild—relayed Mother’s location to the devils instead."
"I see. Do you have someone from the Rivas family who serves as your contact? Someone who is always in communication with the information guild?" Aldrian asked.
"We have someone from the Rivas family who is always in communication with us because we’ve been working together for a long time."
"Is it always the same person?"
"Yes, it’s always the same person."
