At this point, Navia clenched her fists. She hated her own powerlessness because she knew very well that this was the perfect opportunity.

Almost all factions in Fontaine are searching for the mastermind behind the framing of their father.

The Fools, the officials of Fontainebleau, and even Su Hao and his group are all searching for that guy. If they just put in a little effort, they might just get what they want today.

But now, Navia is in pain and helpless. She has no intelligence, none of the intelligence that is valuable at this stage.

"All these years, you haven't had a single piece of intelligence?" Ella frowned slightly, looking at Navia with a strange expression. "Then what have you been doing all these years?"

Confused, Ella hadn't expected that Navia had absolutely no information.

Gan Yu was equally puzzled. Logically speaking, this was impossible. After her father's murder, she should have been very concerned about the case.

Even if the enemy is cunning, they must have left some clues. How could there be no valuable intelligence at all?

Xia Wore and Charlotte were also very shocked. They knew that Navia was very concerned about the serial disappearances of girls. If even she didn't have any information, then who should they turn to?

And they didn't have time to delay any longer; if they did, D'Artagnan might really be locked up.

"Hmm... I have a lead."

At this moment, the reliable old butler Myles spoke up. He took a deep breath and looked at everyone, saying, "I know a clue."

"what?!"

Navia was stunned, staring at Miles with utter shock.

Sylph remained calm, as if it were perfectly normal, while the others focused their attention on Miles.

At that moment, the old butler became the center of everyone's attention.

Chapter 557 Everything Cares Left Behind

Myles made a startling statement: he knew clues about the serial disappearances of teenage girls?!

"This?! Why?!" Navia stared at Miles, her eyes wide with disbelief. "Miles, you know a crucial clue in the serial disappearances of teenage girls?!"

"Why didn't you tell me? You knew perfectly well that I had been investigating this case."

Navia was quite agitated at this moment because she hadn't expected that the person she trusted most would hide something from her about this matter.

Even other people, such as her two good friends Chiori and Charlotte, knew that she cared a lot about the serial disappearances of girls and would tell her information every time.

Even if the intelligence is false and it all comes to nothing in the end, Navia is still very happy, because there are other people besides herself who care about this case.

Navia never gave up searching for evidence in the serial disappearances of teenage girls, but she never expected that Miles would know this clue!

“Hmm.” Myles nodded slightly, then looked at Navia and said in a somewhat heavy tone, “As your butler and subordinate, I need to remind you of something.”

"The opponent is ruthless and very difficult to deal with. The boss has already paid the price with his life in the long-term confrontation."

"With the Rose Society weakened today, Baisong Town has enjoyed a rare period of peace, and we haven't completely eradicated it..."

“There’s no need to follow the boss’s old path. That’s wise, and that’s what the boss expects, so I didn’t tell you.”

Hearing Myles' words, Navia stared at him and said quite loudly, "If this is what he wants, he should tell me himself. I'm clearly the person closest to him!!! In the end, I'm the only one who seems like an outsider!"

"He left this world with countless mysteries in his heart. What was the deeper meaning behind this? What was he protecting?"

"[Les] is still here, [the unjust Carles] is still here, the dying [Rose of the Thorns] is still here, nothing has changed."

"Does he think I would tolerate such a meaningless death and live a meaningless life?"

"From that day on... I haven't thought about it that way, not even once!"

"I need to give an explanation to everyone, whether they are the missing persons, the victims, or myself."

Navia's words were earnest and filled with sorrow. She now understood that Miles had kept this a secret because it was her father's dying wish to protect her.

But how could she bear this? If her father truly wanted to protect her, he should have lived a good life instead of ending it all like this.

"Navia..." Charlotte seemed a little downcast when she saw Navia like this.

A strange light flashed in Chiori's eyes as she looked at Navia and said, "Navia, it's not too late yet."

“Yes.” Xia Worei nodded seriously. She looked at Myles and Navia and continued, “And the fact that Butler Myles revealed the information at this time means that the time is ripe, right?”

Xia Wore looked at Myles. The old butler was clearly planning to use this opportunity to attack someone by revealing the information at this time.

“Yes.” Miles nodded seriously, looking at Navia and Su Hao, and said, “Although I’m a little embarrassed, now is indeed the best time.”

"That mastermind, although I don't know why he, who is so cautious, would do something so crazy at this time."

"But having offended the Fools, the Fontaine officials, Lord Su Hao, and our Rose Society, he can forget about escaping like he did three years ago."

A flame also burned in Miles's eyes. If Navia couldn't let go of what had happened, how could he?

After all, he was his benefactor and boss. If it weren't for Navia's safety, Miles would have investigated at all costs.

And Miles was also somewhat puzzled, because in his memory, that guy hadn't gone that crazy.

Offending three major powers in one fell swoop, does he really have a death wish?

He offended the Rose Society because the boss got in his way. If it weren't for the fact that the other party wanted to vigorously develop [Les] and discovered the dirty tricks he had done, he would have been in trouble.

It's unlikely that the other side would choose to directly confront the now-dominant Rose Society.

Although the final result was a lose-lose situation, the other party's [Les] business was explicitly prohibited by the Fontaine authorities, so he dared not easily peek out.

But the boss also paid the ultimate price, and the Rose Society was left on the verge of collapse as a result.

But things are different now. Although Miles doesn't know why the other party would do such a thing, that doesn't stop him from providing crucial clues!

"What clue was it?" Su Hao was more curious about what clue had made Miles hide it for so long.

And this clue is most likely from an investigation conducted by Kares, the first president of the Rose Society three years ago.

Myles, as a confidant, only knew this much, and besides Myles, Sylph, who always acted aloof but had a rich inner world, also seemed to know some things.

"Do you all know about [Les]?" Miles composed himself and looked at the crowd slowly, saying, "Do you all know what kind of being [Les] is?"

Su Hao and the others nodded. They already knew about the information regarding [Les], but why bring it up now?

Aren't we talking about the serial disappearances of teenage girls right now?

Out of politeness, no one interrupted Miles and let him continue.

"Actually, there is a significant connection between the serial disappearances of girls and [the sale of Les]," Miles said earnestly to everyone.

He knew that everyone present disliked listening to nonsense, so he pointed this out simply and clearly.

"What?" Su Hao was somewhat surprised, because he hadn't expected that [Les] and the [serial disappearances of girls] were actually connected. This was truly astonishing.

You should know that Su Hao had heard of this thing just two days after arriving in Fontainebleau, and that [Les] was only effective on Fontainebleauians and had no effect on people from other countries.

At most, after drinking [Les], one's sensitivity to water elements is enhanced, which is a very strange phenomenon.

Therefore, Su Hao concluded that this was part of the Fontaine prophecy. If it weren't for the girl dissolving, Su Hao would most likely have bought a cup of [Les] to see what was going on.

"and many more……"

At this moment, Xia Wore suddenly realized something. She looked at Myles calmly and said, "So, that banquet back then wasn't actually that simple?"

The banquet that Chavorei mentioned was the incident in which Carles murdered his friend, leading to his transformation into the unjust Carles.

“Yes.” Miles nodded seriously. He continued, “Before the banquet started, the boss already knew about the connection between [Les] and the [serial disappearances of girls].

"But the reason that caused the conflict between the two sides to erupt instantly is that, Miss, you have been chosen as the target of the [Serial Disappearances of Girls]!"

As soon as Miles uttered those words, everyone was shocked, and they all looked at Navia.

The other party is actually the target of a series of missing girls?! That means... Navia is the next one to disappear?!

"No wonder." At this moment, Su Hao seemed to understand why the previous president of the Rose Thorn Society was determined to fight the other party to the death.

The reason is simple: the other party wanted to harm his daughter. If he could tolerate it at this point, then he wouldn't be a man.

And although the case is called the serial disappearance of girls, none of the missing girls have appeared to this day, so you can imagine... what kind of ending they met.

Navia also looked very shocked; she seemed to have not expected this either.

Unbeknownst to her, she had been chosen as the next victim in the serial disappearances of young girls.

Myles looked at Navia and said in a heavy tone, "The boss didn't tell you because he has a rare disease, and the doctor said he doesn't have more than five years to live."

"The serial disappearances of young girls have plunged him into severe anxiety. Five years is simply not enough to resolve this protracted dispute. Miss, you will be exposed to danger."

"So he decided to use the intelligence he already had to make a show of force. He claimed to have key evidence of the other party's crimes and informed certain people in the gang."

"But as long as you are safe and sound, he will not make this evidence public."

"However, if you disappear, he or someone else who knows the secret will immediately expose [Les] and the disappearance case!"

Upon hearing this, Gan Yu slowly said, "So, this is a desperate, lose-lose situation?"

Chiori calmly replied, "Naviya has remained unharmed until now, which means this method is effective."

Two years have passed since Kares passed away, and nothing has happened to Navia during that time, which is enough to prove that Kares's method was effective.

“Yes.” Myles’ voice carried a hint of pride as he continued, “It turns out that the threat was effective. Even now that the boss is gone, the other party hasn’t laid a hand on the young lady.”

"But now, I'm not quite sure why he's gone mad and attacked the Fools' Enforcers."

Chiori, Charlotte, and Chavoret all showed subtle expressions, not to mention Miles.

Even they had no idea why the person behind it all did this. Dealing with the Fatui Enforcers was a terrible move.

But Su Hao and the others thought this was understandable, because the other party wanted to force Su Hao to revive "that person" in order to clear Datalia's name.

Whether it was due to the special constitution of the Fontaines or because of the prophecy, Su Hao was unable to find the souls and consciousness of the dissolved people.

It's impossible to revive it; it lacks even the most basic elements. How can you revive it if it's missing?

"I don't believe it..." At this moment, Navia was somewhat distraught. She went up to Myles and said very seriously, "I can't tell at all that he's sick!!"

Navia never expected that her father only had five years left to live before he died.

Myles shook his head and looked at Navia seriously, saying, "No father wants his daughter to see him weak and dying, especially someone like the boss."

"For him, even dying in a duel and bearing the name of 'injustice' was better than losing face in front of his daughter."

Hearing this, Su Hao finally understood why Carles insisted on dying in a duel.

Given his prestige, he shouldn't have died under those circumstances, but he chose to die anyway.

Chiori also used this incident to warn herself that no matter what her status was in Fontaine, she had to be careful, otherwise people like Kares had died in the Fontaine Trials.
