My magic panel is too numerical.

Moretti Estate.

At Lorenzo's suggestion, all the core members of the Moretti family gathered in the reception room.

After finishing his lunch, Pharos called a carriage for Eileen to take her home.

The curtains were drawn tightly shut. Godfather Lorenzo sat in the main seat, with his eldest son Luca and three unfamiliar men beside him.

Serena and Isabella were kept out.

Faros sat directly opposite Father Lorenzo, with Christina, the only "agent" stationed in Castile, beside him.

To be precise, this is not an investigation, but a purge.

The old Godfather kept his eyes closed and remained silent.

Sunlight streamed through the thick curtains, casting a warm, golden glow, while the crisp ticking of a clock filled the air.

Christina spoke first, her gentle and pleasant voice revealing no trace of anger, yet her words were chilling:

"Mr. Pharos, please review what happened first."

Pharos nodded and said:

"According to the church's investigation, the victim, Enzo Moretti, encountered strange events while studying in Moonshadow City. According to his roommate, he claimed that he could not see his own face."

"That very night, Enzo wrote a letter requesting an escort home, and he was even too afraid to take the steam train. We all agree that Enzo was ambushed and killed on a mountain road near Castile."

Christina gestured for Faros to continue.

"But there's a suspicious point here. Since it's a strange incident, why didn't Enzo seek help from the church or academy in Moonshadow City, but instead went to his family?"

"According to the investigation, the answer is simple: Enzo did not encounter anything strange, but rather he obtained something that was enough for him to abandon his studies and return to his family. Here, I will simply call that thing 'Power'."

This was inspired by Pharos hearing Miss Raven's story about demons.

Pharos continued:

"To prevent Enzo from returning to his family and seizing power, our traitor chose to cooperate with a third party to ambush him on the way. Here, I will refer to the third party as the 'murderer'."

"The plan succeeded. Enzo died that night, and the murderer successfully stole Enzo's 'power' and gained the ability to transform into a white giant. However, by a twist of fate, the bodyguards hired by the family were Priest Paul from the church and another priest from another church. After their vengeful spirits escaped, they desperately tried to remind the Godfather about Enzo's death, which is why the Godfather is now haunted by vengeful spirits."

"At this time, the Moretti family was in a critical period of industrial relocation and could not afford to cause a scandal. Therefore, they did not choose a church exorcism open to the public, but instead chose a private exorcism detective agency. As for why the Godfather coincidentally chose the Wayne Detective Agency, I think it was probably Ms. Isabella's recommendation."

"As for why Isabella knows Detective Simon, the reason is simple: they are lovers. I believe Mr. Luca knows this. It's impossible for someone like you not to investigate your wife's lover. As for why you remain silent, I have no idea."

Pharos rose and paced back and forth, his thoughts seemingly drifting back to that night:

"That day, after we finished the exorcism, no one expected that the vengeful spirit Paul, who had been driven away, would actually come back. Detective Simon successfully completed the 'spirit inquiry' and learned that young master Enzo had been attacked. I brought this news to the Moretti family, which directly led to the murderer targeting Detective Simon."

"Why did they have to kill Detective Simon? I would venture to guess that it was because Paul's vengeful spirit had information about the White Giant, who is Enzo's 'power.' If the information were leaked, it would inevitably attract competition from various forces, so they had no choice but to do it."

"Based on the killer's actions, we can deduce that the killer's initial goal was to devour as many 'spirits' as possible in Dawn Town and find an opportunity to kill Miss Christina, the only 'agent' in Castia City."

"But at this moment, a mole within the Moretti family provided an opportunity."

"He revealed Detective Simon's identity. With the mole's suggestion and protection, the murderer used 'power' to impersonate the already dead Enzo, and then took advantage of 'Agent' Christina's revenge plan to turn the tables and prepare to complete his goal ahead of schedule."

"There's a misconception here. We all thought the murderer learned from the next day's newspaper that Detective Simon had seen Paul's memories."

"Actually, that's not right. Because the detective died too early. In fact, the murderer had already begun to plot against Detective Simon that very night."

"So how did the murderer find out that things had been exposed in such a short time and prepare to take action against Detective Simon? Even faster than the newspapers? The answer is simple: the mole was the one who went to find Enzo that night—Mr. Luca! Of course, you didn't go to the so-called cave to find Enzo, but went directly to see the murderer. Publishing the news that Enzo had been found in the newspaper was just a pretext. You had long wanted to kill Detective Simon to lure out Miss Christina. The Enzo you brought back was already a monster created by the murderer."

Everyone was confused, but eventually the matter was explained.

Mr. Luca had no alibi and provided information about Detective Simon's private relationship with Ms. Isabella, which led to Detective Simon being killed without warning.

All eyes turned to Luca Moretti.

"Mr. Luca, why did you kill your own son? What did the murderer promise you that made you willingly offend the 'Agent'?"

Luca did not argue, but simply sat quietly with an empty gaze.

"Answer him, Luca!" Lorenzo glared at his eldest son, gripping his pipe tightly and puffing away.

"Heh, ever since things ended yesterday, I've been prepared for things to be exposed, but I never expected that it would be you, my friend Pharos, who would reveal it." Luca gave an ugly laugh.

"When that white giant tried to kill me, did you ever consider me a friend?" Pharos's tone turned cold.

"I know, I know... but I can't let Enzo bring that thing back. I'd rather sell that 'power' to someone else!" Luca's tone suddenly hardened.

"Why? Isn't he your son?" Pharos asked, puzzled.

"Him? He's not my son. Enzo is a bastard, a... bastard of this old man and Isabella!" With that, Luca's forehead veins bulged, and he picked up the ashtray beside him and smashed it at his godfather Lorenzo.

The ashtray flew straight out, knocking the pipe out of Lorenzo's hand.

Pharos and everyone else present were stunned for a moment.

"Twenty years ago, the priest diagnosed me with infertility, but a Mafia heir couldn't be without offspring. So I conspired with this old man to have him take my place in my first time with Isabella, and then have dozens of other sexual encounters, resulting in Enzo. Until... later, when Serena was born, I learned that I wasn't infertile at all; this old man had bribed the priest just to steal Isabella's virginity!"

Luca's tone broke down, and he roared wildly without restraint. His ancestral calm expression vanished without a trace, leaving only rage.

Therefore, he knew he had wronged Isabella by indulging her indulging in sensual pleasures without any regard for her safety. His initial investigation into his wife's lover was simply to confirm her safety.

Ah... Pharos's worldview was severely shaken, but then he thought that this place seemed to be in the West, so it seemed to make sense.

Lorenzo didn't speak, but just glanced at his son.

"The old man chose me as his successor... because Enzo is nominally my eldest son. But fortunately, Serena is a genius, and her brilliance completely overshadows Enzo. It turns out that she is the most suitable successor. However... if Enzo comes back with that thing, everything will be over. Not to mention the position of head of the family, Serena's safety will be hard to guarantee. I can't let Serena be exposed to danger all the time."

Luca became increasingly breathless as he spoke, his voice revealing his utter exhaustion.

"Mr. Luca, Enzo looks so much like you, do you think it's possible that he really is your child?" Pharos said in a deep voice.

"Who knows? I've had my doubts too, but..."

Without paternity testing in this era, the truth may never be known.

But for Mr. Luca at this point, ethics were no longer important; what he couldn't get over was his own internal conflict...
