Chapter 187: Let's Start by Eliminating the Witnesses

After all, the image of Leon that had long been cemented in her mind was that of a corrupt law enforcer who accepted bribes, abused his authority, and was involved in illegal businesses.
During these past days, she had carefully observed that after Leon rebuilt the harbor, ships had been coming and going with remarkable frequency.
All kinds of supplies were being transported continuously into the mines.
As for what was being shipped out...
It appeared to be nothing more than flour produced by a mill on the eastern side of the island.
When she investigated further, she discovered that the mill—which had originally been mortgaged to the Watchers Merchant Guild—was now owned by Leon Set!
She knew exactly how much grain Arend Island produced.
The amount of flour coming out of that mill far exceeded what the island's crops could possibly yield.
