"Nassar? How could he...?"
Emilia was very surprised. She didn't think there was anything strange about Nassar.
It was still early, and out of curiosity, Emilia took the initiative to ask Banning to go together.
"I'll go with you, too."
"Are you sure? This isn't a pleasant situation."
Emilia didn't understand the hidden meaning of Banning's rhetorical question at this time.
"Sure, I want to see it with my own eyes too."
"Okay, then don't hold me back."
"Don't worry."

4.33 - Secret Investigation
Banning walked quickly in front, followed closely by Emilia.
After a while, they arrived at the residential area near the west wall of Sunny Town.
After turning several corners, Banning brought Emilia to a small white house and gestured for Emilia to hide.
Emilia was nervous and curious; she had never done such a secret investigation before.
At this time, she didn't know what kind of insulting words she was about to hear.
·
Emilia and Banning hid in the dark for more than ten minutes, and then there was finally movement in the white house.
With a "creaky" sound, the door of the hut was opened, and then Nasar walked out.
Coming out with him was a woman Emilia had never seen before.
"My dear, wash up and wait for me to come back at night."
Nassar pulled the woman into his arms and kissed her forcefully.
"Humph, get out of here now."
The woman pushed Nassar away unhappily and started complaining.
"I've heard you've been chasing the fox girl from the Quest Guild for years. Don't come looking for me anymore."
"Oh, honey, don't you know this? I was just pretending with that fox girl... If it weren't for completing the 'mission', I wouldn't be pursuing her."
Nassar turned around and held the woman in his arms. The woman struggled symbolically twice, but couldn't break free, so she gave up.
"Pretending? I think you're really attentive. Much more attentive than you are to me."
"Hey, what are you doing? Honey, how can that fox girl compare to you? She stinks like an animal!"
It was not until Nassar said this that the woman burst out laughing.
As for Emilia, her fists were clenched as tight as they could be.
"I love hearing that. I can smell the stench of a vixen from two blocks away."
"Yes, yes, yes~ Demi-humans stink to death. How could I possibly like demi-humans, my little darling?"
"Well, what you say better be true."
The woman fell coquettishly into Nasar's arms and snuggled into his chest.
Nassar took the opportunity to touch the woman's plump body all over, with a smug and obscene smile on his face.
"Don't worry, darling. I'll get 'that thing' tonight. By then, even if that fox girl comes to beg me on her knees, I won't pay any attention to her. Hehehe, hahaha!"
·
·
Nassar said goodbye to the woman and headed in the direction of the Mission Union.
In the dark, Emilia and Banning were still hiding and could not come out for the time being.
Emilia now understood why Banning said "This is not a pleasant thing" at the beginning. She didn't expect that Nassar had been acting all the time, and his acting skills were so good that he deceived everyone.
Before today, Emilia always thought that Nassar was the person who could take over as branch chief.
As for Nassar's pursuit of her, Emilia thought that if he really liked her, it would not be impossible to give him a chance to get along with her.
Now it seems that Emilia feels that she is so stupid that she was deceived like this and was completely kept in the dark!
The only thing she was thankful for now was that she was still keeping a distance from Nassar and did not let him succeed.
"call……"
Emilia took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. Only then did she notice that Banning was looking at her seriously.
"What, what's wrong?"
Emilia took two steps back embarrassedly. She was suddenly so close to Benning that her heartbeat suddenly accelerated uncontrollably.
"I thought you'd be mad."
"I... am indeed very angry, but since it has already happened, there is no point in being angry anymore."
Emilia's answer was actually spoken to herself.
Ever since experiencing the pain of losing her parents, she has become accustomed to regulating her emotions.
"Makes sense."
Banning nodded in agreement, then whispered, "We're quite similar... We're both... indifferent..."
"Sorry, what did you say we are similar in...?" Emilia didn't hear clearly.
"nothing."
Banning shook his head and summarized the secret investigation just now.
"Nassar is indeed an undercover agent in the Quest Guild to complete a certain 'mission,' and he's not far from completing that 'mission'... Emilia, does your Quest Guild have any enemies?"
“There shouldn’t be any…”
In Emilia's memory, the Task Union in Sunny Town had never offended anyone except for its bad relationship with the mayor's forces.
"Okay, then please tell the branch chief to meet at the usual place in half an hour."
"Ok."
Emilia agreed subconsciously, and then she realized that she was no longer surprised by Banning's "arrogance".
— (Damn it, I already told him I wasn’t just a messenger…!)
However, compared with Nassar, a scumbag with a beastly heart, Banning speaks his mind and is straightforward, which is countless times better than Nassar.
·

Half an hour later, Oleg met Banning waiting in the tavern.
"Meeting with Benning" was the last thing Oleg wanted to happen today, but... it still happened.
"I heard Nassar say it myself. He said the 'mission' would be completed today and that 'the thing' would be obtained tonight."
Banning got straight to the point right away.
Oleg listened and didn't respond for the time being, just sighed.
"Branch Chief, if you don't trust me, you can check with Emilia. She went with us today."
"Yes, I know. When she was delivering the message for you, she told me everything she saw this morning."
Oleg didn't know whether it was a coincidence that Emilia acted with Banning or whether Banning did it on purpose, but with Emilia as the second witness, Oleg did give up the last bit of fantasy he had about Nassar.
In this way, the theme of tonight will no longer be Oleg's temptation of Nassar, but his desire to break off all ties with his ill-fated comrade-in-arms, Spland.
"In that case, tonight is the crucial moment, Branch Chief."
"Um……"
Oleg was in a heavy mood and even didn't want to talk to Banning.
"Branch Chief, is the 'thing' Nasar wants ready?"
"It's ready. I'll give it to him as planned tonight."
"So, what exactly is 'that thing'? I think it would be more beneficial for us to understand it before we start our 'plan' tonight."
Banning finally asked the question, which was what Oleg expected.
Oleg never let Banning know about the existence of the "Magic Secret Sword: Flame Horse" because he was well aware of the dangers of this cursed sword.
Although Banning might not be tempted by the magic sword, Oleg still thinks it is better not to let him know about the existence of the magic sword.
Even now, he still thinks so.
"It's better for you not to know. Believe me, this is for your own good."
"Okay, what about the rest of the preparations?"
Benning gave up very decisively, and Oleg liked the fact that he could let go easily.
"Leave it to me, rest assured. Even though I'm old, my decades of experience as a reward hunter weren't in vain."
Oleg patted his thick chest and stretched out his hand towards Banning with a serious expression.
"Sir Banning, Emilia's safety is in your hands tonight."
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
The hands of an old man and a young boy were tightly clasped together.
Tonight is the time to sever the evil bond.
4.34 - Storm is coming (Part )
After finishing the meeting with Oleg, Jiang Ran felt a little depressed.
Being an obsessive-compulsive person, he actually wanted Oleg to report the battle plan in detail, but there was no way. After all, the two of them were not in a superior-subordinate relationship. Oleg was already giving him face by trusting him so much.
A large part of this trust is due to the golden badge of the Feiqi family.
(Next time I meet Viviana, I must thank her properly.)
Now that things have come to this, Jiang Ran can only hope that Oleg is reliable.
Anyone who can serve as a branch chief should not be too bad.
·
Since he couldn't change others, Jiang Ran could only make himself as ready as possible.
Jiang Ran originally thought that the next time his life would be in danger would be during the trial, but now in order to conquer Emilia, he had to take the risk tonight.
There are only two days left in the countdown to his confession of death. If he doesn't take a gamble now, he will never have another chance.
After Emilia sent Jiang Ran the "Basic Antidote Preparation Formula and Preparation Method" yesterday, he tried to make a total of 100 bottles of antidote.
Generally speaking, to verify whether a drug is effective, one must find a subject who has just been poisoned, or find someone to serve as a guinea pig and actively be poisoned and then take the antidote.
But Jiang Ran didn't need to. With the identification ability of the super-dimensional divine eye, he only needed to take a glance to know whether the antidote was successfully prepared or not.
The power of the Super-Dimensional Divine Eye always shows its convenience in such unexpected places.
The result of the identification was that among the 100 bottles of antidote:
Not only can it not detoxify, but it is also poisonous: 68 bottles;
No effect and can be drunk as water: 14 bottles;
With weak detoxification effect: 7 bottles;
Achieved the detoxification effect of primary antidote: 11 bottles;
Jiang Ran didn't know what the results were for others' first attempts, but he was quite satisfied with the 11% yield rate.
