Sherlock Holmes is not a warp god.

Chapter 124 Mycroft's Three Heartaches

Outside a bar, an elderly woman had just finished chatting with a burly man.

Oros was very unhappy that Moriarty dared to attack Sherlock while he was still active in Slen City.

So she is following some clues to gradually turn Moriarty's men into her own.

She didn't have Moriarty's vast criminal empire, but by exploiting psychological weaknesses and hypnotizing Moriarty's men, she also gained her own followers.

So now, Oros has also received news that a fierce battle is taking place on the outskirts of Slen City.

When he was very young, Eurys took Shylock as his plaything.

Oros is very possessive, and Sherlock can only experience the dangers he created.

She could overlook the dangers Sherlock encountered when she was far away and couldn't see them.

Now that the Black Lotus Society is doing this, Oros feels that his toy is being played with by others once again.

On the top floor of Magnussen Bookstore, there is a huge office.

This floor contains no documents; it's entirely Magnussen's playground.

Magnussen sometimes chooses to play some interesting storylines here.

"Oh ho."

Magnussen received the intelligence faster than Moriarty and Olos, "This is getting more and more interesting."

Having pieced together countless pieces of information, Magnussen could already guess how the story would unfold.

"Did you do this?"

As soon as Fren arrived at the security station, the nearest phone rang, and Mycroft's voice came through.

In an era before surveillance was widespread, Fren had no idea how Mycroft had accurately pinpointed his location.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Fren said nonchalantly. "If you mean Sherlock's embarrassing situation, then it just means he was unlucky."

Meanwhile, in Berlin, at the central government headquarters, Mycroft rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

His three biggest worries have now all come together.

Ever since he smoked with his father at a family gathering a few days ago, Mycroft has felt that Sheringford Prison, which he thought had no flaws whatsoever, is in trouble.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Oros will likely spend the rest of his life in Sheringford. Mycroft doesn't believe that Oros's simple conversation with Francessoko could lead to the situation his father described.

So Mycroft remotely ordered the warden of Sheringford to inspect the entire prison, and the warden replied that he found no problems.

Mycroft's preconceived notion was that the presence of a problem indicated a problem, while the absence of a problem meant it was serious enough to deceive him. That, he thought, was a very serious problem.

Mycroft made a bold assumption: everyone in Sheringford Prison, from the warden to the remaining prisoners, was one of Oros's men.

Oh my god, just thinking about this possibility made Mycroft realize that his cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar were all a bit high.

Even if he is a superhuman, he could die suddenly at any time.

Mycroft, who hadn't cared much about the "self-healing" ability before, decided he had to learn it as soon as possible, otherwise he would be tormented to death by his three younger siblings sooner or later.

Mycroft also has informants in Sleng City and even controls a portion of the underworld. This is all to keep a close watch on the situation in Sleng City and ensure Sherlock remains under his control.

In the less than a minute that Sherlock was flying in the sky, the underground world quickly came to life.

It's like a monster pieced together from various animal limbs, baring its teeth and claws, with each limb having its own thoughts.

Mycroft called to ask if it was Françoise who did it, just to confirm if Françoise was the one who catalyzed it all.

Hearing Fren's denial, Mycroft breathed a sigh of relief. He knew Fren wouldn't lie to him, and then moved on to another matter that concerned him more.

Mycroft knew that Orlos was smarter than him, so it was normal that he couldn't discover Orlos's scheme. And Fren was more special than all three of his siblings combined, a fact Mycroft was also well aware of.

Mycroft thought it was perfectly normal for Fren to discover something in the less than five minutes he spent with Orlos.

"Is Euros there?"

The condition for achieving the situation the father described was that Euros and Fren had to have contact.

One is biological, the other is adopted; the common ground between them is family.

Mycroft felt that there was nothing wrong with his side, and his parents had been living alone for a long time without any problems either. So the problem was with Sherlock.

Mycroft now only needed to be suspicious, so he chose to ask Fren.

Furen fell silent for a moment. Had his older brother been strengthened by the world's will and become this smart?

Fren had never underestimated Mycroft. In the past, no matter what little Françoise said, Mycroft might not immediately follow Françoise's train of thought, but he would quickly understand.

From a young age, Francis Soko displayed terrifying abilities in front of Mycroft, and Mycroft, who could communicate with him, was undoubtedly a complete monster.

When Mycroft didn't immediately hear Fren say "I don't know," he knew his bold guess had become a reality.

His three weaknesses have now all converged on the border city of Slen.

The waters of Schlen are deep, no less so than those of Berlin, where the powerful and wealthy reside.

"Francisco, I'm begging you," Mycroft's voice came through the phone again.

This is a dedicated internal line for the Security Bureau, employing extremely high levels of technological encryption and clandestine methods, making it impossible for it to be eavesdropped on.

Fren fell silent again. From childhood to adulthood, Mycroft had never made any requests of him; the two brothers had always communicated as equals. Even at the family reunion, when Mycroft asked Fren to handle foreign investment for him, it hadn't been like this.

This is a request made purely from the perspective of an elder brother, and it's also for the sake of family.

Mycroft trusted Francis Soko; no matter how complicated the situation in Slen was, with unlimited power, Francis could grasp every detail.

Fren didn't agree immediately because it would be exhausting. He wouldn't feel much mental pressure, but the thought of having to worry about so many things made Fren feel that his leisurely days were slipping away.

"Even if you don't say it, I will protect Sherlock," Furen finally said.

To be honest, he didn't really care about Oros.

Mycroft regained his composure and realized his words were superfluous. Floren would ensure Sherlock's safety, and Oros could take care of herself.

That should be enough.

Mycroft did some analysis and concluded that the situation in Slen City was not out of control. He then hung up the phone and continued working at the city hall.
