"Do you think General Scaloni in the army will become the new Duke of Napoli?" At this time, Orson asked suddenly.

"...Probably not." Olivia thought about it, then shook her head.

"General Scaloni has not fought a brilliant counterattack like Duke Antica did when facing the massive invasion of orcs, and he does not have enough connections and support in the country."

"But, after a while, maybe he will have connections to support him," Orson said meaningfully.

……

In a mansion somewhere in Saint Laurent City.

It has been a while since she last met Arthas, and during this time, Rosalind has never received an invitation from Arthas.

But just yesterday, Rosalyn received a letter from Arthas.

In the letter, Arthas expressed his longing for Rosaline and asked Rosaline to meet him after he returned to Saint Laurent.

Rosalin was not stupid, she certainly knew what Arthas was thinking.

"Hehe, that's how men are." After looking at the mirror for a long time, Rosalyn couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"When you were powerful, you ignored people like me. Now that you need my help, you come to me."

"What am I, someone who can be summoned and dismissed at will?"

Of course, she only dared to vent such complaints in her own room.

Being very sensitive to politics, she had sensed something fishy in the series of events that had taken place in Saint Laurent City.

After learning that Arthas and Elsa were both banned, she knew that her chance had come.

He had looked down on Arthas when she was at the height of her fame, but now that he was down and out, Rosaline's opportunity naturally came.

She not only wants to be a queen, she also wants to be the queen who can turn the tide for Arthas.

Only in this way can she gain the most benefits for her family.

"Father, just wait. I will help you become the Duke."

Chapter 107: Meet Again

"Congratulations, Charlotte."

Phil walked into the room and looked at Sherlock, who was sitting at the desk reasoning with pen and paper, and spoke with a smile.

After these days of getting along, the relationship between the two

Their relationship gradually became closer, and Phil started calling her by the nickname Charlotte.

"What's wrong?" Sherlock didn't look at Phil, still staring at the paper on his desk.

"Because of your outstanding performance, His Majesty intends to promote you to the position of Chief of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Public Security Bureau, and you will be fully responsible for this and all future public security issues in Saint Laurent City."

"Oh." Sherlock simply nodded when he heard that.

"What's wrong? Isn't this news good enough? After becoming a minister, at least you won't have to worry about your life anymore, and you can settle down and start a career in Saint Laurent City. More importantly, the people you will come into contact with in the future will all be from the upper class..."

Seeing Sherlock's indifferent reaction to the proposal, Phil looked at her in confusion.

"Not really." Sherlock said, stopping what he was doing. "I just think... it's a bit hasty to reward people based on their achievements when the matter hasn't been resolved yet."

Yes, Milton's clues were lost in that house. In the end, even though the search team turned the house upside down, they didn't find any clues.

It is true that there is evil sacrifice in the basement, but that does not mean the investigation is over.

"Well, I understand what you're thinking, Charlotte, but there's nothing we can do now. We can only calm everyone's emotions through rewards and get the subsequent work on the right track." Phil said.

After all, he has been in officialdom and is certainly well versed in the use of this kind of power.

"Besides, after you get promoted, won't you have more resources available? Then you won't have to ask me to cooperate with you, and you can conduct the investigation on your own."

"But on the other hand, you will lose a lot of freedom, right?" Sherlock asked.

"There's nothing we can do about it. We are all helpless." Phil sighed helplessly.

Sherlock did not want to refuse the reward of promotion. After all, it was the Emperor who personally ordered the commendation for him. If he did not accept it, it would somewhat offend His Majesty, and he would not have an easy time in the future.

"Okay, when will you take office?" Sherlock asked Phil

"I will take you there tomorrow." Seeing that Sherlock agreed, Phil breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again.

"Just believe me, it's better to have someone to help you than to fight alone."

"Ah."

……

"Ah! Big brother, you're back!" Lena was on her way back to the dormitory with Lianka after class today, and happened to meet Orson who was about to go out.

When she saw Orson, Lena's expression changed slightly, but she then raised her hand and greeted Orson.

Lianka on the side also saw Orson early on. She was ready to pull Lena and take a detour, but Lena was too strong, so she could only follow Lena back the same way.

"Oh... Orson, long time no see." Lianka said.

"Well, long time no see, Lianka, Lena." Orson was stunned for a moment when he saw the two of them, but when he looked up at the sky which was already setting, he came back to his senses.

Lena ran to Orson in small steps, looked up at Orson, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was nothing unusual about Orson.

Lianka also came to Orson. Since they met, they decided to find something to talk about.

With this in mind, Lianka asked;

"Orson... I heard from my sister before... that you were injured outside? How is it? Is it serious?"

When Orson heard Lianka's question, he didn't say anything. Instead, Lena turned her head away quietly, looking innocent as if she knew nothing.

However, Lianka didn't pay attention to Lena's expression at the moment. She was waiting for Orson's answer.

"I'm fine, don't worry. Didn't your sister tell you that I could get out of bed and move around the next day?" Orson said this and shook his arms to show that he was fine.

"That's good." Lianka breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that.

Then her pupils shrank and she quickly took two steps back.

"Um... I'm not... I'm not saying that I care about you, it's just... it's just because you are my brother-in-law, plus the agreement we made before, so I asked... Absolutely, absolutely, I don't have any other intentions!"

"I know." Orson nodded with a smile, then said, "I have something else to do, so I won't stay here for now. Lianka, I'd better trouble you to take care of Lena these days."

"Ah...yeah, I see."

When she heard that Orson was leaving, Lianka's eyes showed a trace of loneliness, but she still agreed.

Lianka waited until Orson was far away before she looked at him.

To Lena next to her.

"Lena, let's go back."

"stare……"

But Lena just stood there and stared at Lianka.

"Eh? Lena, what do you mean by looking at me like that?"

Lianka was a little frightened by Lena's stare, and immediately asked.

"Sister Lianka, you don't like big brother, do you?"

"How...how is it possible! Lena, don't think too much!" Lianka said this and quickly waved her hand, signaling Lena not to think too much.

"How could I possibly like that guy? He's not good at anything except being a nicer person, gentler, more powerful, and more handsome. Besides, he's my brother-in-law..."

"Oh~" Lena nodded after hearing that.

"Since he's Sister Lianka's brother-in-law, Sister Lianka has no chance."

"That's right!" Lianka nodded vigorously in agreement.

"So Sister Lianka feels sorry?"

"...No!" Lianka subconsciously wanted to nod, but after hearing what Lena said, she quickly shook her head.

"Huhu, it seems like what I thought is the same." Lena said this, covering her mouth and showing a cunning smile.

"What are you thinking? Hey!"

……

After obtaining a temporary entry and exit certificate, Orson walked out of the college and came to a restaurant not far from the college.

Orson gave his name, and soon someone led him to a box on the second floor.

At this moment, in the box, a masked man was sitting there, eating the bread given before the meal.

Only after seeing Orson come in did he look up at Orson.

"long time no see."

"Well, thank you for your hard work during this period."

Having said this, Orson sat down opposite the man.

"It's really hard. My pretty face is broken." The man half-jokingly took off his mask.

Under the short golden hair, on the handsome face, there was a horrible scar not far below the right side of the eye.

"Oh, thank you for your hard work..." Orson said this and sighed.

"doctor."

Chapter 4: Lit's Plan B (K)

"How long have you been in Saint Laurent City?" Seeing that the doctor did not respond, Orson changed the subject.

"Not long ago, I did something small for you. It took a few days, that's all." The doctor said this and continued to chew the bread in his hand.

"Is that so? Then I have to thank you even more..." Orson said this, stroking his chin and thinking, and then said: "What do you want? Money? Or resources that can help you improve your strength?"

"These are not important." The doctor shook his head and then picked up a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his mouth.

Then he looked up at Orson.

"Orson, I want an answer."

"Answer?"

"Yes." The doctor nodded.

"Have you ever heard of the name Marcus?"

When he heard the name, Orson was stunned.

The doctor also saw his reaction clearly.

"It seems I have got the answer I wanted." The doctor said with a smile.

"What is your relationship with him?"

Orson was silent for a moment, then looked up at the doctor with a hint of apology in his eyes.

"My mother told me that my father's name was Marcus, and he died on the road defending his country."

"It's ridiculous, isn't it? This is fate. My father worked for your father, and now I'm working for you."

This kind of dramatic plot that is played by fate is really hard to guess.

"I really didn't expect it." Orson said frankly.

"Tell me, then, Orson, what caused my father's death?"

"If you want to know these, you should ask Giovanni or my father for the answers. After all, I don't remember anything when he died, right?"

When the doctor heard Orson say this, he sneered at himself again.

He originally thought that Orson knew his identity and sent him to Giovanni as an undercover agent, but he didn't expect that the truth was simpler than he thought.

Orson simply saw his ability.

But that's right

He never told anyone his identity or his father's name. These had long been buried in the grave along with his mother's death.
