Don't call me evil god

Chapter 690 is ready to go, rumors are spreading!

Back in the royal capital, the preliminary preparations for the performance are also going on in full swing.

The mission to hold back Rune Monger requires a small contribution from Prince Fradin.

He went to Monger Manor secretly without informing the outside world.

This is normal.

It was common knowledge that Prince Fradin liked to sneak out of the palace.

Monger had promised that Fradin could come and go from his estate as he pleased, and this was true.

The combination of the two created a perfect opportunity.

Delay Rune Monger and cut off Monger's chance to obtain information from the outside world before the "performance" ends and public opinion in the capital completely explodes.

Fradin accepted the task without hesitation.

He patted his chest hard and promised in front of Pete and others:
"Don't worry! Unless I die, I promise to keep him tightly entangled until your operation is over. I won't let him leave the manor or come into contact with other people!"

Looking at the prince who was so excited, Pete said helplessly: "Don't, don't think like that, the situation is not that serious yet!"

"We will act with you. If any unexpected situation really occurs, you must prioritize protecting yourself."

"You know that death is just the beginning of the next great adventure for us, but you can't die now."

Only then did Fradin calm down a little and pursed his lips.

"Okay... I know."

"I hope things here can be over soon. My father promised me that I can go to the kingdom border with you to fight monsters and complete the trial to advance to level 4!"

……

the other side.

After Pete and his team conveyed the plan to King Kenreddin through Prince Fradin, the latter acquiesced to Pete and his team's actions and arranged for MI6 to get involved.

Spies loyal to the royal family would disguise themselves in different identities in the royal capital:
gossipy citizens who believe everything they hear;

A drunkard in a tavern who boasts freely after getting drunk;
a bard who loves to tell tall tales;
Merchants who came from other places to do business and trade;

Even the dusty mercenaries and knowledgeable adventurers.

They would skillfully blend into crowded squares, markets, taverns and other places in Daowangdu, and start spreading some groundless "rumors" in advance without leaving any trace.

Most of the content sounds like conspiracy theories or nonsense and does not seem very credible.

For example, Rune Monger had secretly used all the money that everyone had invested in the Gilded Club to enjoy himself and indulge in pleasure, and now there was very little left;
Or maybe Monger was planning to secretly overthrow the royal family and become the new king of this country. To this end, he secretly recruited and trained a large number of people, and all the money in the Gilded Club was used to train this secret army.

Or there is an even more outrageous statement that Monger mastered an evil magic that allows him to gain longevity by refining gold, and he used all the gold coins collected through the Gilded Club to prolong his life. That's why he was able to live to the age of 91, and he will live even longer. The massive amount of gold he refined is enough for him to live to 500 years old and enjoy life to the fullest in the mortal world.

There is no solid evidence for these claims.

Because the goal of the spies is to create enough rumors in the royal capital.

In conjunction with the news of the theft at the Gilded Club, try to exaggerate the "impression" that there may be problems with it.

This will leave a mark in most people's minds.

That way, when the show is over and the fake "Lune Monge" is taken away, the news will spread, and the impression left in people's minds will be immediately activated, and then quickly turn into panic!

……

The Glowing God Cult has also made preparations in secret.

Harris Eugene himself, like King Kenreddin, will not appear in person.

Dolan's plan is a shady move that crosses the moral bottom line.

Pete and the others can use such tricks, but people like the king and the archbishop cannot.

After all, there is a risk of failure.

Success is fine. But if you fail, how do you explain it?

Impersonating others and fabricating false evidence.

This is not something that the king and the archbishop can get involved in.

As long as they don't show up in person, they can pretend to be ignorant and shirk responsibility even if the plan fails.

Just claim that they are like Rune Monge and don't know they are being impersonated.

But they have secretly prepared the resources for cooperation.

A complete elite Crusader Corps, with 5 supervisory priests and 1 Harris Eugene's trusted cardinal.

Such a luxurious lineup is already on standby at the holy land of the Glowing God Cult.

As soon as panic formed, the truth about the Gilded Club's scam was completely exposed.

The Crusaders had the excuse of investigating the cultists to storm into Monger Manor.

On the surface, they were going to investigate the cultists.

In secret, it was to secretly capture the real Rune Monger.

In this way, according to Dolan's plan, when the entire cover-up operation is over, Rune Monge will be captured in one fell swoop, turning the originally forged "Monge was taken away for investigation" into reality.

What remains is to find out the information about the cultists associated with him through interrogation and investigation!
The entire process is closely linked.

Everyone was assigned corresponding roles and scenes in this performance.

As a character in the play, Rune Monge will be the only "actor" who is kept in the dark and forced to participate!
……

soon.

Just as planned.

Rumors about Starosh spread.

Various "rumors" about possible problems with the Gilded Club spread throughout the city.

Not only the citizens were talking about it.

Many nobles who had invested huge amounts of gold coins into the Gilded Club were feeling uneasy and anxious.

They are trying to cash out part of the profits that are in their accounts.

Anyway, as long as I can withdraw the money, the worst that can happen is I can just deposit it back immediately.

However, the announcement of suspension of payment issued in advance by Rune Monger blocked any attempt to withdraw money.

The more difficult it is to withdraw the money safely, the more suspicious it becomes.

In the face of gold coins, especially large amounts of them, no matter how good the relationship between the nobles and Rune Monge was, they still had to settle the accounts.

You help me make money, so it's normal for me to have a good relationship with you.

You've set your eyes on my gold coins, and I still want to be on good terms with you?
Do you think I'm a fool?
Many nobles began to seek information openly or covertly.

Their actions are still effective.

At least it forced Rune Monger to personally issue a statement.

"Rumors stop with the wise. Please rest assured that there is no problem with the Gilded Club. After the stolen investment certificates are restored, redemption will be open as normal!"

Not long after this statement was released.

Prince Fradin took Pete and his party to Monger Manor and "entangled" Rune Monger!
