Chapter 929

"But..."

Looking at the anxious disheveled man in front of him, Leon, who had successfully fished, "hesitated" for a moment, then said helplessly:

"Forget it, we have no other way now, we can only trust you for the time being...

But let's get the ugly words out first. Our original purpose was just to complete the investigation mission and confirm the situation of the Kroke royal family. We didn't intend to hurt you, but if you tip them off, then don't blame us!"

"I guarantee I won't! I can swear!"

Seeing that he had chosen to "actively surrender" and Leon and the other were still hesitant and unwilling to believe him, the last trace of doubt in the disheveled man's heart was dispelled. After hurriedly swearing a poisonous oath, he asked impatiently:

"What exactly happened to the royal family? Is His Majesty really dead?"

"You could say 90 percent dead."

Leon sighed:

"According to the intelligence we have obtained so far, there should only be two living people left in the entire Kroke royal family. Basically, all members with royal blood have had their brains removed by Prince Andre and turned into Atifi sub-bodies."

What?!!!

Hearing the "truth" told by Leon, the disheveled man was struck by lightning, his eyes full of horror:

"Prince Andre... this... how is this possible? This is too absurd, I... I don't believe it!"

"To be honest, we don't believe it either."

Leon said with a headache:

"I can understand your feelings. When we first heard this news, we didn't dare to believe it either, but the credibility of the source of the news is very high, so we thought about sneaking into Scientific Research District 1 through you to see if we could verify this news."

"This..."

Looking at Leon, who was frowning and looking very troubled, the disheveled man couldn't help but clench his fists and fell into hesitation together.

People are sometimes so awkward. If Leon had told the truth when they met, stating that the Kroke royal family had already been harmed and hoping he could provide help, it would likely only be met with suspicion and defense, and he might even be sold out in return.

But if they were evasive and refused to speak clearly, letting him chase and ask, and then putting on an attitude of "we don't believe this news either, but due to our own duties, we have to take the risk to verify it," the disheveled man, who was eager to know the situation, would subconsciously feel that the credibility of the news was very high.

After struggling for a long time, the disheveled man, who had initially stated that he would never cooperate, gritted his teeth and lowered his voice:

"Where did your news come from?"

"Hmm? Why are you asking this?"

Hearing his inquiry, Leon's eyes narrowed instantly, putting on a "vigilant" attitude, and he questioned with a scrutinizing look:

"Do you know something?"

"I..."

"I've felt you were strange for a long time!"

Leon's face turned slightly cold, and he said with suspicion:

"You were clearly kidnapped by us, yet you are not worried about your own safety and even took the initiative to answer! And you asked about such important news... Speak! What is your relationship with Prince Andre?"

"You misunderstood!"

Seeing that Leon had actually started to suspect him, the disheveled man said anxiously:

"I really have nothing to do with Andre! I am His Majesty Finn's man!"

"That's just what you said yourself! How do I know if it's true or false?"

"I..."

Being made irritable by Leon's "suspicion," the disheveled man, after scratching his ears and cheeks for a while, suddenly his eyes lit up. He reached into his chest and felt around, took out a pocket watch, opened the lid, and handed it over.

"Look! This is a photo of me and His Majesty Finn! We took it when we graduated from the Second Metal Academy back then. I've carried it with me for so many years!"

"..."

After taking the pocket watch and checking it, and seeing the photo of two young men standing side by side and smiling very brightly in the lid, Leon raised his eyes with some suspicion:

"Is this photo you?"

"It's me!"

"Is it?"

"Yes! I was still very thin back then!"

"Alright... although the photo doesn't prove anything, I can barely believe you once."

After closing the pocket watch with suspicion and handing it back, Leon said "reluctantly":

"The source of our news is Princess Feliya, who is also the last survivor of the entire Kroke royal family besides the murderer, Prince Andre."

"..."

Princess Feliya?

Hearing Leon's words, the disheveled man's expression froze slightly, then his pupils shrank sharply, the muscles on both sides of his cheeks twitched involuntarily, and then he forced himself to be calm:

"I see... then we really have to verify it carefully..."

Hmm? He started to suspect me again?

Looking at the disheveled man's soul, which was surging again and showing a turbid color representing distrust, Leon's eyebrows lifted slightly, and he questioned straightforwardly:

"What's wrong with Princess Feliya? Why is your expression so strange after hearing her name?"

"I..."

Not expecting that he had been discovered just because he hesitated for a moment, the disheveled man felt a shock in his heart, then bit the bullet and said:

"It's nothing, it's just... I haven't met that Princess Feliya many times... so..."

"You are lying!"

After shouting loudly without hesitation and interrupting the disheveled man's words, Leon stared at his face and forced him with a burning gaze:

"What exactly is the problem with Feliya! You'd better explain it clearly!"

"This..."

"Mr. Bell, we are cleanup agents from the Cleanup Bureau. If you are really a friend of King Finn, then you might have heard him mention us."

After briefly explaining the work of cleanup agents, Leon stared at the disheveled man's eyes and said in a cold tone:

"Under normal circumstances, we wouldn't take action against ordinary people, but in order to protect the royal family of the Kingdom of Kroke, three of our companions were bombed to death yesterday, and two were captured, and there has been no news since then.

So our emotions are not very stable right now, and it's hard to guarantee that we won't vent our anger on others. You'd better cooperate with our investigation and say whatever you have, otherwise don't blame us for using methods."

"..."

Being stared at by Leon's cold gaze until his scalp felt numb, the disheveled man couldn't help but shiver.

And after stealing a glance at Alger, who was beside him with a look of sorrow and seemed to have really lost his companions, considering that these two people who claimed to be cleanup agents didn't seem to be enemies of the royal family, the disheveled man bit his teeth and said stutteringly:

"It's not that I don't want to speak directly, mainly... Feliya died more than ten years ago, how could she become some 'survivor'?"???

Feliya died more than ten years ago?

After hearing the answer revealed by the disheveled man, it was Leon and the other's turn to be shocked.

The girl with emerald eyes had a sound body and a sound soul, and was full of vitality from head to toe, without any of the deathly aura unique to the dead, so even Leon hadn't thought in this direction, but...

After observing the disheveled man's soul and confirming that he was telling the truth... at least the truth he believed himself, Leon frowned and said:

"Are you sure? Is it possible that King Finn lied to you? The friendship between you two wasn't that deep, so he didn't tell you the truth as a friend?"

"Impossible!"

Seeing that Leon actually questioned the friendship between himself and the old king, the disheveled man said angrily:

"I've seen that child! She had a sudden brain disease on her twelfth birthday and died not long after.

Finn loved this daughter very much. When Feliya died, he didn't even bring a guard, ran out of the palace in the middle of the night, and came to my house to cry for a long time. This matter definitely cannot be false!"
