Time was of the essence, and Arecino knew that given Su Hao's personality, he would definitely get involved in the case.

Furthermore, Su Hao has so many capable people on his side; he's bound to be able to find some intelligence.

Therefore, Arecino arranged to obtain information from Su Hao in advance.

“Okay.” Su Hao nodded in agreement, and at the same time he looked at Arecino and said, “Compared to this, you don’t seem to be worried about Datalia’s safety.”

Yes, from the beginning until now, Arecino doesn't seem to be worried about Dadalia's safety; she's only concerned about the consequences of this matter.

“Because the Fontaine Trials never involved the death penalty.” Arecino smiled and explained to Su Hao, “No matter how much blame D'Artagnan was given, she could not be killed.”

“As long as he is not killed, everything can be saved. If it weren’t for the impending prophecy, I probably wouldn’t have intervened in this matter.”

Yes, the official organizations in Fontainebleau should be the ones facing this headache.

After all, this matter, no matter how you look at it, occurred during Fontaine's time, and the Executor of the Fools suddenly became the scapegoat.

If Fontaine continues down this wrong path, then Winter and the Fools will not stand idly by.

If it weren't for the impending prophecy and Arecino's desire to avoid pointless infighting, she might very well have left D'Artagnan there unattended.

"See you tomorrow night," Arecino said, before leaving with her subordinates.

Arecino and her men left quickly.

Chapter 554 Marcellus

Arecino and Navigette both left.

At this moment, Su Hao's team has grown stronger, as Clarinde has temporarily joined the team.

The banquet ended; given the case, it couldn't continue.

The area was surrounded by the guards, and the Fools evacuated in an orderly manner, with many Fools glaring angrily at the guards.

With the Executor's orders in place, the Fools did not start cursing; their organization and discipline were quite strong.

The guards didn't care about the Fools' attitude, because in their view, the Fools were not worth pitying at all; they had committed countless crimes.

They actually dare to cause trouble in Fontainebleau; they really don't take us seriously!

Su Hao and his group left, preparing to go elsewhere to sort out their thoughts and find a way to locate the mastermind behind it all.

"How's it going?"

Upon meeting up, Charlotte immediately inquired about the situation, as she had no idea what the tripartite talks had yielded.

Chiori crossed her arms and looked at Klorinde not far away, saying, "I didn't expect that the strongest duel agent, Miss Klorinde, would also be involved in such a troublesome incident."

“I was the one who was used,” Klorind said calmly, looking at Chiori with some surprise. “But I didn’t expect that the owner of Chiori’s shop… would actually be an old acquaintance of Lord Su Hao.”

This is truly surprising, as Chiori is quite well-known in Fontainebleau.

After all, when it comes to clothing, who in Fontainebleau doesn't know Senori-ya?

What's surprising is that although everyone knows Chiori is from Inazuma, no one has ever heard of her having any connection with Su Hao.

"Used?! What happened?! Ah! Miss Claurind!"

It was only then that Charlotte belatedly noticed Clarinde.

"?" Charlotte looked at Charlotte with some curiosity and said, "Didn't you see Clarinde just now? She was standing next to Mr. Villette."

Chavoret was quite surprised, never expecting that Charlotte hadn't noticed Clarinde, even though Clarinde wasn't as eye-catching as Villette or Arecino.

But surely she shouldn't be ignored? It's one thing for others to ignore her, but why would Charlotte, a reporter, ignore Claurind?

“Hahaha~~~” Charlotte gave a polite but slightly embarrassed smile and said, “I was only paying attention to Mr. Villette and Miss Arecino just now.”

"I'm so sorry!! I'm so sorry!!! By the way... Miss Clorind, may I..."

Charlotte displayed exceptional professionalism; she wanted to interview Claurind.

"We'll talk about the interview later." Clarinde also knew Charlotte; she was a well-known reporter.

Similarly, since the other party always wanted to interview her, it would be difficult for Clarinde not to know her. However, she did not want to be interviewed right now, so she said, "The focus now is on the matter of that Fool's Enforcer."

As soon as Clorind said that, Charlotte immediately realized that this was definitely not the time for an interview.

D'Artagnan has been accused of being the perpetrator in a series of teenage girl disappearances.

For now, things are calm in Fontainebleau, but once the news gets out tomorrow, it will be an unimaginable "big news".

Although Charlotte didn't want to see this "big news".

"Have you found anything?" Su Hao asked, looking at everyone.

In fact, Su Hao's attention was more focused on Black Ella and Charlotte, who had just gone to investigate the situation.

"Young Master, I've checked, and there's nothing unusual here."

Black Ella looked at Su Hao and said calmly, "However, I found that the person seemed to be carrying something on their clothes. I didn't take it. It seems to be some kind of alchemical gadget."

"This item was taken away by the security team members as evidence."

After the man was dissolved, he carried a small alchemical gadget on his body, which was originally supposed to automatically break down.

But when Black Ella saw something inside the man's clothes that had dissolved, she immediately used her powers to wrap it up.

This thing was about to break, but Black Ella's power stopped it from doing so.

Later, because there were too many people, Black Ella wanted to see if there was a mole among them, and whether she would expose herself after seeing this "flaw".

It turned out that no one had exposed themselves, so they tried to tidy up the thing.

"Is there anything unusual?" Su Hao asked Hei Aila. "Have you checked everywhere? Are there any unusual items?"

Black Ella shook her head, indicating that she didn't. If she had, she would have immediately taken credit instead of remaining so calm.

"I don't have much information either," Charlotte said with a helpless expression. She continued, "I went to discuss it with the other guests who came to this banquet."

"They didn't find anything unusual either. If the security team hadn't arrived suddenly, they wouldn't have known what was going on here."

"Furthermore, this banquet was arranged half a month ago. I don't think the other party is so powerful that they would have planned to scheme against the Fools' Enforcer half a month ago."

Charlotte's words were met with agreement from everyone, because if that person really was so powerful...

Su Hao might actually believe this is part of the Arecino Project.

Because in Fontaine, the only person who could do something like that is probably Arecino.

"I've heard something rather strange."

At this moment, Chiori spoke up, her tone calm: "That is, before Tartaglia arrived, a group of people responsible for transporting food disappeared after entering the banquet."

"There were too many people at the time, and the winter merchant and his descendants were entertaining guests, so most people ignored the matter."

Chiori spoke calmly, as if she were talking about something trivial.

"Huh?" Xia Worei was taken aback upon hearing this. She looked at Qianzhi and quickly said, "This is an important clue, how can it be such a strange thing?"

Xia Wore felt this clue was particularly important; perhaps it could lead to the mastermind behind the scenes.

"The people responsible for transporting the ingredients?" Gan Yu was slightly taken aback, then seemed to realize something and said, "Could it be that they're not transporting ingredients, but... people?"

In fact, everyone knew that the Fools would never be so foolish as to leave the kidnapped people carelessly in the basement.

Gan Yu and Shen He, who had fought wits and courage against the Fools, were well aware of their methods.

Not to mention Black Ella, who was once a member of the Fools.

Therefore, the people transporting the ingredients could be transporting ingredients, but they could also very likely be people.

Chiori looked at Xia Worei helplessly and said, "They disappeared after entering the banquet. Just from this, you can tell what happened to them."

"Even if it didn't dissolve in water, it's a bit too late to try and trace it back now."

Xia Worei shook her head and said seriously, "How will we know if we don't try?"

Clearly, Xia Wore felt she should give it a try; even if she failed, she might still gain some valuable clues.

"Ella," Su Hao said, then noticed that both Ella and Black Ella were looking at him.

Su Hao pointed at Ella and said, "Tell this message to the Fools, and tell them to notify us as soon as they have any news."

Ella nodded slightly, indicating that she understood, and then walked towards the place where the Fools were gathered.

Black Ella remained expressionless, harboring no resentment. She knew perfectly well that the young master's refusal to let her go was entirely due to the sheer number of Fools who knew her here.

Furthermore, she had little affection for the Fools, and the Fools also had no affection for the "traitor".

You can tell from the attitude of the servant who led the way yesterday that she respected Black Ella because she saved her, but that didn't stop her from being hostile to Black Ella.

Because they can't win, the Fools won't do anything that would lead to their deaths.

So what if we can win? With Su Hao here! Even if the Winter Queen comes, Black Ella will dare to launch an attack.

"Will the Fools obediently tell us the information?" Xia Worei's expression was somewhat subtle as she watched Su Hao inform the Fools of important information.

Her plan was to take control of the winter merchant as soon as possible, then have her own people investigate the intelligence, and finally follow the clues to find the mastermind behind it all.

Xia Worei wouldn't object to Su Hao spreading the information, since he was a successor to a god and must have his reasons for doing so.

Although Lady Funina's authority in Fontainebleau is practically nonexistent, no one can ignore her words.

Therefore, after Su Hao spoke, Xia Worei did not object, but was only wondering whether the Fools would tell them the information they had gathered.

The reason is simple: everyone understands the relationship between Su Hao and the Fools.

“They will talk,” Black Ella said calmly, looking at Shavorei. “This matter involves Dadalia, the executor of the Fools.”

"If this hadn't involved us, to be honest... I would have applauded it."

Yes, if this matter hadn't involved them, Black Ella wouldn't have cared whether D'Artagnan would be framed. She would only care about how the Fatui would choose to deal with this situation.

After all, this was a slap in the face, with the dignified Executor of the Fools being captured by the Fontaine Guard on Fools' territory.

This is not something to laugh about.

However, the person behind the scenes implicated the young master in this matter, which made Black Ella somewhat intolerant.

Black Ella knew that the person behind the scenes was courting death for daring to involve the young master in this matter!

"The Fools are able to roam freely in other god realms because of their Executors," Shen He said calmly to Xia Worei. "Perhaps in your eyes, the Fools' Executors are just people with higher status and position."

"But in the minds of most Fools, the Executors are second only to the Winter Queen."
