“But it’s very effective at doing this,” Charlotte suddenly said.

“It is indeed effective.” Xia Worei nodded, her expression somewhat worried. “Because the people are already very dissatisfied with the arrival of the Fools. If this is suddenly added to the mix… then the conflict between the two sides might suddenly erupt.”

The Fools have a bad reputation, and the people of Fontainebleau reject them.

In addition, during this period, a large number of Fools' soldiers entered Fontaine, and various rumors and gossips have begun to circulate among the people.

If at this time, news suddenly spreads that the son of the Executor of the Fools is suspected of being the culprit in the serial disappearances of young girls.

Needless to say, whether it's true or not, a whole bunch of self-righteous people will jump out from the Fontainebleau side, saying they knew the Fools were no good, and now they've proven them right.

As for the Fools, it goes without saying that any intelligent person could see that this matter definitely had nothing to do with their executives.

What does a case from twenty years ago have to do with their executive officers who weren't even twenty yet?

It will definitely turn into a war of words, and as the words escalate, it might even escalate into an offline battle, potentially affecting diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Furthermore, the Fontaine prophecy hasn't been resolved yet, and Xia Wore is unwilling to see this kind of thing happen at this critical juncture.

"Young Master, they're heading towards the banquet hosted by that merchant." At this moment, Black Ella suddenly noticed that the man was heading towards the banquet.

"A banquet?" Gan Yu was slightly taken aback and asked with some confusion, "What are we going there for?"

Su Hao's gaze sharpened. He stared at the man, listening to his thoughts, and said, "Andrew's wife and daughter are in the basement of that Winter Merchant."

"Inside the basement?" Xia Worei's eyes darted around. She had a bad feeling, but she couldn't pinpoint what it was.

Not only Xia Worei, but others had similar thoughts, but they also felt that things were perfectly normal at the moment and there was nothing worth taking action on.

Andrew was safe, and the man leading the way also seemed fearless. Anyone with eyes could tell that if they followed him, they might be able to overhear some important information.

But what exactly is this feeling of unease?

And so, the man who was leading the way bypassed the guards in the manor and led Andrew toward the basement.

"What are you two doing here, sneaking around like this?"

At that moment, a familiar male voice rang out.

"!!!"

The man who had led the way and Andrew both stood frozen in place.

The moment Su Hao and the others heard the voice, they immediately knew who it was.

"Hey, it's you two." D'Artagnan appeared, holding a wine glass in his hand, looking at the man who had led the way and Andrew with a playful expression. "Sneaking in like this, don't you know this is Fatui territory?"

D'Artagnan's words are extremely informative: this is the territory of the Fools, meaning the merchant in charge of this banquet is also a member of the Fools.

"Lord Datalia, it's me!"

At that moment, the man wearing the mask and cloak removed his mask and cloak without saying a word, revealing his true face. He knelt on one knee before D'Artagnan and said, "I am also a member of the Fatui!!!"

"I brought this person here as you ordered."

Andrew was confused by the situation. Hearing the man's words, he looked at Dadalia with a shocked expression, and his eyes flashed with anger and hatred.

In his eyes, D'Artagnan was his sworn enemy! He was the one who had kidnapped his wife and daughters!

"Who are you?" D'Artagnan looked at the man with a questioning gaze. He had an excellent memory and did not remember ever seeing this person before.

However, when the other party claimed to be a member of the Fatui, D'Artagnan did not immediately take him down. Instead, he looked around with a strange expression.

From the very beginning, D'Artagnan sensed that someone was watching him from the shadows.

"I……"

The man over there was about to say something.

Suddenly, a richly dressed man, accompanied by two subordinates, ran over from a distance. He hurriedly said, "It's bad, young master! The Fontaine Guard has suddenly come and specifically asked for you by name."

"Hmm?" D'Artagnan frowned and muttered to himself, "What's going on? I didn't get any news tonight that the Fontaine garrison was coming."

"And I haven't done anything recently, so why are they suddenly contacting me? It's really baffling."

D'Artagnan felt a little bewildered, but he remained calm about the situation, as he had experienced quite a few such unexpected incidents.

So he remained calm and said to the man, "Let's go, let's go take a look, and bring these two guys along too."

Just as D'Artagnan was about to take the two men with him, the menacing Fontaine Guard arrived.

As soon as they arrived, they looked at D'Artagnan seriously and said, "Young Master Fool, you are a prime suspect in the serial disappearances of young girls. Please come with us."

"Huh?" D'Artagnan asked, puzzled. "Is this some new kind of joke from Fontainebleau? A series of missing girls? That's a case from twenty years ago, what does it have to do with me? Never mind, I don't plan to cause trouble. You two come with me."

D'Artagnan pointed at Andrew, and then at the man from the Fools.

"what!!!!"

But when D'Artagnan pointed at the man who called himself the Fool, he turned into a puddle of water with a scream.

"?!"

This horrifying scene left D'Artagnan completely dumbfounded, and the guards stared wide-eyed at him in terror.

"What?! What's going on?!" The winter merchant was dumbfounded, completely unaware of the situation.

"Huh?!" D'Artagnan stared at his hand, frozen in place. Then he realized that this was a setup!

"Lord of the Guard!! Help me!!!"

Seeing living people being dissolved before his eyes, Andrew was immediately filled with terror. Without a word, he rushed to the guards, pointed at D'Artagnan, and shouted, "The Fools have kidnapped my wife and daughters!!!"

People only believe what they see in front of them.

Even though Andrew had been repeatedly told by Xia Wore to remain calm no matter what happened, how could he possibly stay calm after seeing this scene?

Furthermore, he felt that since Lord Su Hao had not yet appeared, it must be because now was not the time for him to make his appearance, and Andrew could only ask the guards for help.

"Kidnapping?!" The guards immediately drew their weapons and aimed them at D'Artagnan; they hadn't expected such an unexpected bonus.

Many members of the security force looked excited. If the serial disappearances of girls were merely suspected, then D'Artagnan was the suspect.

Then it's not a misunderstanding that the other party kidnapped someone else's wife and daughters, since the parties involved are here. Even if it's fake, it can be found out later.

Seemingly realizing things were getting complicated, the Fools, who had been hiding in the shadows, revealed themselves at this moment. The debt collectors who were following D'Artagnan drew their weapons and aimed them at the Fools.

Perhaps realizing that something had happened, a large number of the invited guests also began to gather around and watch.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

D'Artagnan did not stop his men. He frowned as he looked at the puddle of water, his expression becoming quite peculiar.

Was he framed? And framed so openly and brazenly? Who has the audacity to do that?!

Inside the shadowy space, Su Hao and the others who witnessed this scene also had very solemn and shocked expressions.

"Now it doesn't matter whether we go out or not." Xia Worei sighed when she saw this scene. So many witnesses, yet the guards still saw it all.

Even if they knew D'Artagnan was innocent, it was no use; the witnesses and evidence all pointed to him.

“Now, there’s really no way to reason with them.” Charlotte knew that this situation was basically not advantageous for D’Artagnan.

That person framed him so ruthlessly! They left D'Artagnan, the executor of the Fools, absolutely no way out.

"Not only women can be dissolved into water, but men can too..." Gan Yu concluded this conclusion after witnessing this scene.

At the same time, Gan Yu sighed and said very seriously, "The person behind the scenes is quite ruthless. But Su Hao, have you noticed anything?"

Gan Yu looked at Su Hao, wondering if he had noticed anything unusual.

Because it was in a shadowy space, Gan Yu did not notice anything unusual, as if that person had really been dissolved by Tartaglia's [one finger].

"Go, get out."

Su Hao then said that they could go out now, and he wanted to touch the water to see what was going on.

"it is good."

Black Ella nodded, and then stepped out of Andrew's shadow without saying a word.

The moment Black Ella led everyone out of Andrew's shadow, everyone's eyes were on her.

But soon, everyone was shocked, because the people who emerged from Andrew's shadow were all very famous figures.

"Lord Su...Lord Su Hao?!"

One of the debt collectors, who had seen Su Hao several times, stared wide-eyed, almost dropping his weapon.

"Why is Su Hao here?!" a Thunderfire mage exclaimed, completely unprepared for Su Hao's presence.

Most of the Fools' eyes were fixed on Su Hao.

However, several Fool soldiers trembled upon seeing Black Ella, exclaiming in utter shock, "Ella... Lady Ella?! So many years have passed! You haven't changed at all?"

Another Fool soldier, looking at Black Ella, exclaimed with genuine fear, "It really is Lady Ella!!! How did I run into her!!! Last time I escaped with my life thanks to my servant, am I finally going to die this time?!"

"?" Black Ella tilted her head, feeling a little strange. Why did so many Fools recognize her this time in Fontainebleau?

The Fools were visibly shocked, and the guards also turned their attention to Andrew's side, where they then spotted Xia Wore.

The security team member in charge immediately approached Xia Worei, asking with considerable confusion, "Captain Xia Worei? What are you doing here?"

Chavory is the captain of the special patrol team; they are both part of the official organization of the Court of Justice.

In terms of rank, Xia Worei was his superior and the highest-ranking person present.

Xia Wore looked at the guard who was leading the team and said calmly, "I have been entrusted to come here to investigate a case and arrest criminals."

"However, now... something unexpected has happened; the prisoner has been dissolved."

Upon hearing Xia Wore's words, the guard immediately knew who the criminal was.

After all, that person had just been dissolved right in front of them.

And, this member of the guard hesitated, wondering why Captain Xia Worei was with Lord Su Hao.

At this moment, Su Hao walked forward and found that neither the guards nor the Fools seemed to intend to let him pass. He said calmly, "Could you please move aside for a moment?"

"I want to see if there's any hope for that person."

The guards and the fools were shocked. In this state, could they still be saved?!

The security team members recognized Su Hao, but they were unwilling to let him pass because it was now a murder scene, and no unauthorized personnel were allowed to intervene or disturb the scene.

Even if Lord Su Hao came, the guards didn't intend to let him pass.

The Fools' thoughts were simple: because of the previous experiences of the Executor being tricked, they believed that Su Hao was behind it all!
