Chapter 172: The Positions Have Reversed
Two days later, on the outskirts of Hamel Town, inside an ordinary inn room, Bishop Beckett sat at a table studying the reports he had recently received.
After secretly returning to South Harbor County, he had not only moved to eliminate Sally Hesh according to the Earl’s instructions, but had also deployed his own people to investigate Leon.
However, the results were exactly as he had expected.
Nothing useful had turned up.
Whether within the Inquisition or throughout South Harbor County and River Valley County, Leon had displayed no obvious abnormalities.
Putting himself in Leon’s shoes, Bishop Beckett reasoned that if he had already done something that might incur the Earl’s wrath, he certainly would not do anything unnecessary within the sight of the Earl’s informants.
For Leon, the only relatively safe place now was the Labyrinth fortress on Arend Island, which he controlled completely.
Yet neither the Earl nor Bishop Beckett had considered conducting an inspection there.
It would have been meaningless.
