Chapter 307: CCCVII. Dragon Calamity
Celeste was somewhat moved and hesitated to order the arrest of Liszt.
This man was more than just having a Dragon in his hands.
Based solely on Liszt being a leader in the Triad Gang, it was clear he wouldn’t have access to this kind of intelligence. Moreover, he mentioned having connections in Pedan, which pretty much confirmed it.
She couldn’t help but speculate with her espionage mindset.
The pirates of the North Sea, those bay dwellers, always reasoned things out. Offer them some benefits, a few coins, and they would calm down.
They were just a minor irritation, while the East Sea had always been the true thorn in the side of the Western Continent.
Out of reach here, interests were entangled and complicated. Even more so, with Doringger, a ruling hawk, in command, once the ironclad warships appeared, the East Sea could no longer be considered remote from the Emperor. If a fleet approached, they would bombard the most troublesome ones first.
And who would be the most troublesome? Naturally, it was Doringger.
Liszt was suddenly stirring up trouble. They claimed it was money from a train robbery, but was that truly the case?
Someone might be backing him from behind.
It could be the Pedan Kingdom, already eyeing the East Sea’s rich pickings, supporting Liszt as a puppet. Necromancers weren’t exactly pleasant. Fen had once been part of Pedan’s Upper Three Flags, perhaps trying to make amends for past actions.
