Chapter 118 Alice's Major Discovery

That night, at 11:30 p.m.

Leo's door creaked open, and the maid Alice slipped in: "Young Master Leo, I'm here."

"sit."

"It's truly an honor for Alice to have a seat before Young Master Leo." Alice's face glowed. "Young Master Leo, do you still have any beauty potion? It's really effective!"

The pimples that used to be there have disappeared.

Although she still has that round face, her skin has become smooth and radiant.

Leo nodded: "Of course I have, and I've brought it to you. But don't tell me you haven't found any evidence yet."

"How could that be!" Alice chuckled. "Young Master Leo, I've discovered something amazing!"

Tell me about it.

"You—don't you have any reward?" Alice licked her lips.

Leo immediately hardened his expression: "If you say another word, I'll expose all the shameful things you've done!"

"You're still as cold-hearted as ever." Alice pouted. "Fine, I'll tell you. I've found evidence that Lord Sanchez is colluding with the Shadows—no, not evidence, but the Shadow forces he's colluding with."

After a pause, Alice continued, "And it also proves that Madam did not collude with the Shadows. What Lord Sanchez did has nothing to do with Madam."

"Let's talk about the details of the collusion first."

"Do you remember the last birthday party for the master? You left the next day, but Master Sanchez didn't. I went looking for the lady and bumped into her and Master Sanchez arguing in the outer castle corridor."

Alice hid around the corner.

When Mrs. Sandra questioned Sanchez about how keeping a necromancer could cost so much money, he was deeply moved.

They also said that the wizards secretly kept in the Glowing Fungus Castle cost less than the money Sanchez spent on raising a necromancer.

"As expected, my family also keeps evil professionals." Leo's heart stirred. Clearly, his family also had some matters that were inconvenient for the Holy Light to handle, requiring the intervention of wizards among the evil professionals.

Alice continued, "Lord Sanchez argued that he not only kept a necromancer, but also, through this necromancer, came into contact with an organization called 'The Spiders,' becoming one of their worshippers."

"The Spider Organization? Offerings?" Leo raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, it's called the Spider Organization. Mr. Sanchez even said that as long as you spend enough money, you can get the Spider Organization to take action, and things will definitely be accomplished," Alice said.

"What is guaranteed to succeed?"

"I don't know. Madam asked what Sanchez was doing, but Mr. Sanchez wouldn't say. He just told Madam not to worry, that it had nothing to do with her or the Fluorescent Fungus family—Young Master Leo, Mr. Sanchez isn't targeting you."

"Alright, let's not dwell on your subjective guesses. Is there anything else to add regarding the conversation between the two of them?"

'

"That's all."

Will Mrs. Sandra continue to provide funding?

"I don't know. A patrolling knight passed by at the time, and the lady and Lord Sanchez separated."

Although Alice failed to obtain evidence.

However, the information she provided still carried considerable weight with Leo: "You've done a great job. Here, take this; it's a beauty potion. Keep up the good work, and if you do well, I'll have more. Also, there's an even better rejuvenation potion."

The beauty potion and the rejuvenation potion were both obtained by Leo from the Countess.

When the Countess was promoted to a second-rank bishop and gained the effect of eternal youth, she was almost thirty years old. Since age cannot be reversed, she paid great attention to skincare, and after meeting Leo, she paid even more attention to it.

That's how Leo learned about these potions and asked for some.

"Young Master Leo, just watch! I'm sure I can find evidence of Lord Sanchez's collusion with the Shadows!" Alice was prepared to go all out for the sake of better revitalizing the potion.

Alice quietly left.

Leo leaned against the headboard, pondering silently: "The Spider Organization sounds like a heretical sect, similar to the Shadow Cult."

The Shadow Cult is a long-time adversary of the Holy Light Church.

In the early days of the Eternal Night Continent, humanity was divided into two factions. One faction advocated faith in the Holy Light to fight against the Shadow Monsters, and eventually established the Holy Light Church. The other faction advocated merging with the power of the Shadows and integrating into the darkness, thus giving rise to the Shadow Cult.

Afterwards, the Holy Light faction won a great victory, and the Holy Light Church became the mainstream faith on the continent, while the Shadow Cult became the target of everyone's hatred.

Forced to hide in the sewers and become rats under the full-scale attack and manhunt of the Holy Light Church.

"Sanchez is asking the Spider Organization to take action, most likely to deal with me, but most of his actions have already been exposed to my view." Leo remained unfazed.

At the Glowing Fungus Castle, Alice is supervising Mrs. Sandra.

At the Holy Light Monastery, Daisy, a newcomer, was keeping an eye on Beatrice.

At Swamp Manor, Walter also spreads false information.

"What's more, I also have the Sun Mark. As long as the shadow makes a move, it will definitely trigger the flower language warning to me." Leo's greatest confidence comes from the Sun Mark. Holding this card, he has nothing to fear wherever he goes.

As for the Spider Organization—

the next morning.

After breakfast, Leo seized an opportunity to meet the Baron alone: ​​"Father, I have a question for you. Are you familiar with the Spider Organization?"

"The Spider Organization?" The Baron frowned. "Where did you hear about this organization?"

"I heard a guest mention it at the last banquet, and it suddenly came to mind, so I'm inquiring about it." Leo is the second son of a baron, and in the Firefly Wilderness, no organization is as powerful as his own.

He didn't need to investigate carefully at all.

Ask the Baron directly, and you'll get the answer.

The baron replied, "Yes, a small heretical organization based in Lancashire. They mainly help nobles with shady dealings, but most of their activities target commoners. Spiders don't mess with us nobles."

"Understood." Leo nodded. "If the money is enough, can we hire them to deal with the nobles?"

"Money can move people's hearts, of course it's possible." The baron chuckled dismissively. "As long as the money is enough, I'm even willing to personally earn some extra cash."

He then glanced at Leo and said, "You're not planning to make a move against any noble, are you? It's best not to do such a thing. Our Fluorescent Mushroom family has been a noble family for generations. Don't let such dirty tricks tarnish our reputation."

Leo shook his head.

But he quipped, "Doesn't your family also keep wizards?"

"You even know that?" The baron shook his head. "It's just in case, to prevent others from plotting against us."

After finding out the details, Leo took his leave and returned to the Swamp Manor.

After Leo left, the Baron became somewhat gloomy and uncertain: "I didn't tell the children about the family keeping wizards. Who revealed it? Sandra—after all, she's just a woman from a humble family, and she's a bit impulsive. It seems we can't leave this matter to her."

Once a crack in trust is formed, it is irreversible.

Leo never expected that his unintentional kick would create a crisis of trust between his father and Mrs. Sandra.
