My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 82: Insect Shooting
"Damn it!"

"This bunch of useless people are more likely to cause trouble than to help others!"

Wellington angrily swept everything on his desk to the floor.

When I think about those useless Chaos Brotherhood members, it’s unbelievable that they failed repeatedly in assassinating a student, but they were actually captured alive!

It's fine if they captured him alive, but they didn't even put any soul restrictions on him? He was directly found out by soul searching?!
The originally good situation disappeared in an instant.

After more than ten years of planning and hype, Iluvia, the designated heir, had already been portrayed as a villain, at least within the royal capital.

He finally managed to open up all the connections around Salah III and put him into a coma by mixing chronic poison into his daily diet.

It was clearly just the last step, and Iluvia could be killed soon, but a second-ring guy came out and forcibly led her out of the deadly trap he had set.

But this did not leave him helpless.

If killing by force doesn't work, then use some tricks.

He had already begun planning to bring Iluvia down with him.

Once successful, he could completely overwhelm himself with public opinion like Iluvia is doing now.

Language is invisible, but it often plays a key role.

Just like now...

"Your Majesty... I think it would be best if you go outside and take a look."

The real butler in the mansion was sweating profusely at this moment, and the scene at the door was a little scary to him.

Wellington snorted, "What's wrong?"

"You should... go and see it yourself."

Without blaming the old butler who had followed him for decades for his misconduct and offense, Wellington walked to the window and looked out.

Soon he saw at least dozens of reporters.

And Caifas, who was being interviewed by reporters and surrounded by a group of elite and senior officials of the General Inspection Bureau.

"Mr. Director, are you here at the Duke of Wellington's residence to investigate the situation reported in the Royal Capital Morning Post?"

"Mr. Director, Mr. Director, do you think the information published in the morning newspaper is true? How will the General Inspectorate respond to today's situation?"

"Mr. Director, does the General Administration have any information on the Chaos Brotherhood's Archbishop? Will the General Administration cooperate with the military?"

……

Facing the group of chattering reporters in front of him, Caifas felt a little regretful.

He began to regret following his subordinates' advice and using the media to spread the influence.

But when he thought that he would be able to bring people and rush into the old man Wellington's house with a legitimate reason, he couldn't help laughing.

"Regarding today's report in the Royal Capital Morning Post, the General Inspectorate has no comment."

"I hope all parties can maintain calm reflection before the official investigation results come out."

"The Duke of Wellington is the Speaker of the House of Lords in the National Council and a nobleman of great honor."

"Any rumors or defamation against him will be investigated and punished by the General Supervision Bureau later."

"Regarding the investigation, we will soon enter the Grand Duke's residence to conduct an investigation and ensure that the Grand Duke is cleared of all charges."

"Of course, if relevant clues are found, the General Administration will act according to regulations."

After a speech to the reporters, and after confirming that the reporters had set up their cameras and were ready to take pictures, Caifas turned around and walked towards the gate of the Grand Duke's Palace with a team of elite soldiers.

Wellington, who witnessed Caiaphas's behavior throughout, punched the windowsill hard.

"Damn it, Caiaphas... you..."

"Your Majesty, what should we do?"

"...Where's Slo? Where did he go?"

"H-He left last night, taking all his men with him."

"Why didn't you stop them?!"

The white-haired butler looked at Wellington with disbelief in his eyes.

Yes, I am not an ordinary butler. I have the strength of a six-ring warrior.

But you want me to stop a ninth-level legend, and a bishop of the Chaos Brotherhood who is famous for his mental instability and madness?
Even if I die there, I can't stop them!

Wellington took a deep breath and calmed his thoughts.

"It's good that they're gone. Now let's clean up all the traces they left behind. Okay?"

"Your Majesty... I'm afraid it's too late."

"Why would we be too late? I'll go confront Caiaphas. They haven't done anything in the mansion these days, so how could they leave any traces?" The butler stammered, "Your Majesty, behind you..."

"what?"

Wellington turned around and saw Caiaphas looking at him coldly.

"Hello again, Wellington."

"Put less effort on it."

"You should have thought of this day when you colluded with the Chaos Brotherhood."

"I remember I told you that, but you obviously didn't take it to heart."

"Obsessive."

Wellington sneered when he heard this: "Why don't I have a chance?"

"Besides, you say that's evidence, but who would believe it's true?"

"I believe it," said Caiaphas calmly, "surrender, Wellington."

"If you still want to get out of here with dignity."

"Of course, I look forward to your violent resistance to arrest if you don't want to."

Wellington said coldly, "Are you also standing on the side of the princess? Are you going to abandon your noble position?"

"The descendants of the Iron Duke will only stand on the side of humanity and the Empire."

Caiaphas said, stepping forward and pressing Wellington's shoulder, who was already covered in cold sweat: "Compared to you, a bunch of so-called nobles who are just sitting there doing nothing and exploiting the people."

"I prefer to trust your majesty's choice."

"At least, thanks to his and the late emperor's efforts, the power of the nobles was suppressed, and the laws and systems of the empire were better implemented."

"The lives of the common people in the empire are ten times better than before."

"If the nobility is just a bunch of parasites sucking blood from the empire, then it is simply an insult to the word nobility."

"Grandfather was right to expel you from the family and deprive you of your inheritance, Wellington."

"You are unworthy to have anything to do with the name of the Iron Duke."

"How can we run the country well when insects like you occupy the National Council?"

……

In a three-story building in a slum on the outskirts of the city.

A hurried man holding a newspaper walked up the stairs in two steps and pushed open a door.

"Your Excellency, it has been confirmed that Wellington's residence has been surrounded by the Inspectorate General, and he is under personal observation by the Director."

"Really? Then it seems like last night was a blessing in disguise..."

When he thought about the impromptu decision to evacuate that he had made last night, Slo felt that this time it was really fate that was in his hands.

If he hadn't decided to kill that kid in one go, he would have simply left the mansion with all the men he could mobilize.

At this moment, he was blocked in the mansion by Caiaphas.

The reason he was able to survive until now was not just because his technique was difficult.

It is also because he never takes the initiative to provoke enemies that are impossible to defeat.

Yes, if I join forces with Wellington, Caiaphas will not be able to defeat me.

But will Wellington really join forces with him?
When the time comes, this guy will be the first to backstab you.

Even in a one-on-one fight, he was confident that he could withstand Caiaphas's attack and remain undefeated, but this was the royal capital.

As long as he dares to take action, the person in the academy will definitely not sit idly by.

That damn elf will definitely come as soon as possible.

Fortunately, I ran away at night. The capital is so big that I can hide and slowly look for the next time that kid comes out.

"Master Bishop, Mr. Klopp, please advise whether they should continue with the Divine Descent Ritual?"

"Ah, Hellfire's men, right?" Slo smiled. "Of course, continue. Tell them, I will attract their attention."

"Yes, I will tell Mr. Klopp immediately."

After his men left, Sloe continued to ask, "Can we still contact the guy that Wellington planted in the City Hall?"

"Tell him that if he doesn't want to be liquidated, he has only one choice."

"Please do one last thing for us. After that, we will help him leave the capital."
