After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

"Um, Aize..."

"Um?"

"Can I ask a question?"

"Ask?"

"I still don't understand why Boris's attitude changed so quickly. In the afternoon, he looked like he didn't want to say anything."

The pink-haired girl didn't quite understand the intrigues involved in the game of human thinking.

Although this did not prevent her from executing Aize's orders perfectly like a puppet, she was still a little curious afterwards, so she couldn't help but ask.

"Well..."

It's a bit troublesome to explain the whole process from the beginning.

After thinking for a moment, Aize could only smile bitterly and say:

"Just consider it... uh, a weakness of the human mind."

"weakness?"

“When a person thinks he has everything under control, he is more likely to make stupid mistakes.”

This action against the guild was designed around this logic from beginning to end.

First, he needs to obtain a large number of documents that the guild considers worthless, and use Aize's superb intelligence processing capabilities to find various evidences of the guild's crimes.

"There is no way the brave Aize could know these things" - based on the guild's mentality, they chose Boris, a relatively marginal figure among the top management, as their target.

Taking advantage of his self-doubt that he had gotten away with it and taking advantage of the information gap, they induced him to conclude that there was a traitor inside the guild who was out to harm him.

After creating suspicion, let him go back.

After returning, Boris will definitely use his connections to find out the news.

And once he did that, he would be completely fooled by Aize.

In intelligence work, there is a big taboo - never collect intelligence just to confirm something you are already certain of.

Because this will lead to serious speculation and interpret a lot of irrelevant things in that direction.

That's what Boris is like.

The small-scale meeting was originally held just to target Aize and had nothing to do with him.

But with the support of his idea that someone was trying to harm him, things that were not directed at him also became directed at him.

And in this case, it's Alicia's turn to appear.

Yes, the subordinate who went to report the news last was Alicia transformed.

Having already heard rumors of a secret meeting, Alicia's transformed subordinates added fuel to the fire.

He claimed that he was the only one not invited to a meeting that was originally attended by only a small number of people.

In this way, the doubts that had accumulated before would explode instantly and grow exponentially.

It even changed from "there is a traitor who wants to harm me" to "the entire guild wants to harm me."

With this suspicion already formed, Aize sent another knight, disguised as an assassin, to kill Boris, the masked man he saw.

Then, Constantine appeared.

The two men pretended to have fought their way into the alley, but in fact they wanted to switch the subject and say that the assassin who had just been killed while trying to assassinate Aize was the assassin targeting Boris.

Then let Boris see the assassin's familiar face, a face belonging to a high-ranking adventurer he knew.

The so-called guild leaders wanted to kill him as a scapegoat - this completely ridiculous statement left Boris with no room for doubt.

He had no choice but to confess everything to Aize in exchange for his life.

The ingenuity of the plan lies in the fact that all these ideas were come from Boris himself, and Aize was only responsible for providing information.

This is far more convincing than the ideas instilled in him by others.

Even 90% of the information provided is true, with only a very small part being lies.

This made Boris have no doubt about the authenticity of the information at all.

Here, Boris, thinking he knew everything, was completely led by Aize.

From his own perspective, every step was correct and every idea was reasonable.

But from the very beginning, that tiny information gap, he had already been dancing in the circle drawn by Aize.

After explaining, Aize shrugged and smiled:

"Believe it or not, after this is over, not only will this Boris not hate us, he'll even thank us for saving his life."

"Hmm... is that so...?"

Alicia held her chin with a troubled look on her face, her facial features almost twisted together.

"I don't quite understand. If it were me, I would definitely prefer Aize's ideas to my own... But, anyway, Aize is very powerful, I understand that!"

The pink-haired girl said this, smiling and nodding proudly.

It seems like he doesn't understand at all.

I even gave up thinking.

Constantine also sighed, looked away slightly, and showed a rare expression:

"Boss, sometimes I think you're...really scary."

No one in a specific position is a fool, and can even be said to be smart.

But Aize can accurately grasp the weaknesses of these "smart people", making them do things that are even dumber than a fool from a God's perspective after a lot of self-righteous behavior.

In his own words, people who are smart but not completely smart are easier to deal with than pure fools.

For example, Leah is the latter.

The so-called masters of Lengbi Ke are the same in any world.

But no matter what, Constantine seriously sympathized with these "victims" of his boss.

In response to this, Aize just smiled nonchalantly:

"I just thought you were complimenting me."

"I am indeed complimenting you."

After saying this half-jokingly, the gray-haired knight shook his head and returned to his usual expressionless face:

"Reports have come in from all the other factions, including Captain Elena. We've even caught them in the act. What's next? Should we take full action against the guild?"

"Go ahead, detain them all, don't let any one go."

Aize gave the order coldly and also looked out the window.

At the junction of the sky and the horizon, the sun has begun to rise.

Unlike yesterday, it's a sunny day.

"It's been taking too long. It's time for dawn."

Chapter 83 Game Rules

The sky is getting brighter.

After the minor commotion that occurred last night, the moment sunlight shone back onto the streets, the residents of the royal capital were surprised to discover that the black-armored knights and guards who had recently arrived a few days ago had surrounded the Adventurer's Guild's facilities.

A moment later, accompanied by a commotion, more than ten people were tied up and taken out towards the palace.

In the past, such big news would have been enough to make the whole city boil.

But now, such a "little thing" is not enough to cause any waves.

It was just another ordinary yet difficult day in the royal capital shrouded in the blood plague.

Among those arrested, the leader was a middle-aged man in his forties.

He was quite big and burly, with a dark and rough complexion and many faintly visible scars.

The current president of the Royal Capital Adventurer's Guild, Gregory.

Born into poverty, he started out as a low-level adventurer. Relying on his extremely powerful strength, he became the guild's top adventurer at the age of twenty.

In addition, he has a quick mind and high emotional intelligence. At the age of 40, which is neither too old nor too young, he has already been in the position of president for several years.

He took advantage of the opportunity of the full-scale outbreak of the human-demon war to play both sides among various forces, allowing the guild to grow to an unprecedented level.

He is a typical ruthless man and old fox.

Therefore, even though he was caught now, he was extremely calm and did not look panicked at all.

Last night, when he was forced by the Regent to carry out the assassination, he was already prepared to fail.

For this purpose, both the personnel involved in the operation and the collusion on our side had been prepared in advance.

Even if it is the legendary hero Aize, it will take a lot of effort to deal with him.

With this thought in mind, he calmly allowed the knights to take him to the palace.

Then--

"That's all? Anything else?"

"That's all I can remember for now... No, no, no, please wait a moment, let me think about it carefully."

There was already someone in the study where Aize was. It was his subordinate, Boris, who was also one of the high-ranking members of the guild.

He was injured for some reason and his leg was not only bandaged but also splinted.

But even so, he still had a flattering smile on his face and was talking to Aize in an extremely earnest manner.

While Aize was taking notes quickly, he also smiled back, and the atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious.

"It's okay, there's no rush. Go and recover first. If you think of anything else, just tell me."

"Really? Great, great, thank you Lord Aize for your generosity and life-saving kindness! Thank you very much!"

Boris bowed and nodded, his smile so wide that it was almost physically uncomfortable.

Then, with a wave of Aize's hand, he left the room with the help of the knight beside him.

As he passed by President Gregory, who looked shocked, he gave him a look of contempt.

This made the former even more confused and puzzled.

But Aize would not give him the chance to figure things out.

"Cough-cough-"

After clearing his throat with two dry coughs, the knights brought Gregory to Aize, held his shoulders and pressed him hard onto the seat.

"We meet again, Mr. President. Before we begin, is there anything you would like to say?"

Aize pretended to be absent-minded while flipping through his notebook and asked without raising his head.

The president broke out in a cold sweat and asked cautiously, "What are you doing?"

"Uh...was that Boris? Why would he...uh, why is he here with you? What did you talk about?"

All of Gregory's plans were based on unity within the Sanhedrin.

If Boris, as a senior official, becomes a mole and leaks some information that should not be leaked, then things will be very bad.

In response to this question, Aize simply shrugged and smiled casually:

"No big deal, just a casual chat with Mr. Boris, like family matters, recommended restaurants in the capital, and the daily affairs of the guild."

The daily affairs of this guild are very interesting.

Could it be that guy really found Aize in advance and became a tainted witness or something?

Judging from his performance and attitude towards himself just now, this is indeed a possibility.

but why?

Although the guild leaders, including himself, could not be said to have a very close relationship with him, they still respected him and had never done anything to offend him.
