Chapter 105
The Carthica family’s gathering ended in tragedy.
Due to the attack by an armed helicopter targeting me, twenty-two people lost their lives. One of them was killed by Ilay.
On the surface, it would be officially announced as a terrorist attack. Thinking about it, terrorist organizations were quite convenient for rulers. Whenever something inconvenient or secretive happened, they could simply blame it all on the terrorists.
I reported the current situation to Hemillas through my terminal. Hemillas also seemed busy investigating where the information had leaked from.
- Iskan was attacked as well. The leak probably came from within the Imperial Guard. We’re starting by investigating the guards who are relatives of the nobles who died in the interrogation facility.
If Hemillas’ assumption was correct, it was a bitter realization.
‘Ivan Accretia knew the attack was coming.’
But it wasn’t something orchestrated by the Imperial Family. They must have found out about the attack in advance through their intelligence network. The Imperial Family’s ears were everywhere in the Empire.
‘Then did Ivan really come to meet me out of goodwill? To warn me beforehand?’
Thanks to Ivan, I was able to respond to the attack. Without his warning, I might have ended up in a far worse situation—or even dead.
It was a strange feeling.
