Chapter 765: 243. Lin can’t afford to pay_3
“I thought this was a secret exchange…”
Selena smiled at him and said:
“Charnel, this exchange is absolutely confidential. Do you remember the matter I mentioned to you about clearing the Tide Spy within your family? Jarvis can accomplish this task.”
Lape Chanal’s breath stagnated, and his confusion intensified in his eyes.
He furrowed his brow even tighter. While scrutinizing Noland Lee, his expression was somewhat serious, but he didn’t seem angry or offended, obviously possessing good temperament:
“It’s not that I doubt your credibility, Selena. But this Enforcement Wizard is only a First Rank Wizard.”
“Do you remember the three spies caught by your younger son at sea last week?” Selena asked.
“Yes, I know about that. It was said that the person who caught the three spies was a Deep-sea Wizard named Hadley Grant and a First Rank Enforcement Wizard named Mario.
“Oh, wait…First Rank Enforcement Wizards are rare in the Suman Archipelago.”
Lape Chanal realized, his gaze shifted from Noland Lee with less confusion and more amazement:
“Could it be that the First Rank Enforcement Wizard named Mario is you?”
“Yes, Mr. Charnel.” Noland Lee replied:
“You should have heard about my achievements and efficiency in catching spies. My performance at sea has also been consistently stable. I just took a turn around the Cave of Spreading Moss near Starfall Sea and found several spies for you. I think this is enough to prove my talent in this area.”
Selena added:
“Why don’t you give Jarvis a try? He has never failed nor wronged anyone in his investigation of spies.”
Lape Chanal leaned back in his chair and began to ponder.
The secret talk skipped the pleasantries and went straight to the point because of Noland Lee’s presence.
Lape Chanal had to organize the information related to Noland Lee in his mind and carefully sift through it.
Noland Lee and Selena gave him time to think.
Both were calm and not worried about Lape Chanal potentially rejecting their suggestions.
Selena specialized in liaising with wizard forces. She had the annual arrest warrant and bounty task statistics data in her hands.
Looking at the statistics, the frequency of Tide Spy invasions in the Charnel Family could be described as dominating the whole island.
Undoubtedly, Noland Lee’s presence handed Lape Chanal a sharp knife to eliminate spies.
There were only two possible reasons for Lape Chanal to refuse…
“Well, both of you, I have my concerns.” Lape Chanal said:
“I can assure you that my family and I have not colluded with the Dread Sail Pirate Nation. However, there are rumors that after Dickler Fegan of the Pangula Family was slandered by the Dread Sail Pirate Nation, he received some unusual treatment from the Enforcement Wizards. I am worried that the same thing will happen to me and my family.”
Noland Lee was prepared for this concern, looking to Selena, he passed the right to speak to the elegant lady.
Selena had not signed a confidentiality agreement with Dickler Fegan.
What’s more, she had evidence in hand that could prove the truth of the matter.
“You cannot be deceived by rumors, Charnel.” Selena handed over the letter of Dickler Fegan’s surrender and admission of defeat:
“Please read it. This letter comes from Dickler Fegan’s own handwriting and has the complete event process.”
Lape Chanal took the letter.
As Rale Charnel read about Dickler Fagen admitting his collusion with the Dread Sail Pirate Nation and his attempt to corrupt Selena, his hand holding the letter trembled slightly:
“It’s hard to… believe. An heir of the Pangula family would actually join the Dread Sail Pirate Nation. There must be something worth it for him to do this…”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
“It is said to be several high-quality deep-sea mineral veins hidden under the sea,” Selena explained:
“The estimated value of these veins is more than 2.5 billion Ulnas gold coins.”
“2.5 billion, the net profit of the Pangula family for a year. No wonder Dickler Fagen was tempted,” Rale Charnel shook his head and sighed:
“It seems that the rumors that appeared on my desk were deliberately released by Dickler Fagen to save his family’s reputation.”
Rale Charnel handed the letter back.
The letter had dispelled his first reason for refusing, but it was still not enough for him to accept the proposal.
Rale Charnel weighed his words and said:
“I am worried that the investigation of spies may involve the secrets of the family, especially the client information and trade information of the Charnel family. This part is very sensitive. It’s not that I don’t trust the character of both of you. It’s just… I’m sorry for being rude, what I mean is that Jarvis’s strength may be weak when facing cunning and strong enemies. He might be forced to leak some of the family’s secrets he sees and hears during the investigation of the spies.”
Selena and Noland Lee looked at each other, casting admiring glances at Noland.
Rale Charnel’s second point had also been predicted by Noland Lee, and a countermeasure had been prepared in advance.
“You don’t need to worry about that, Charnel. Jarvis will not enter the territory of you or your family when he investigates the spies,” Selena said:
“Moreover, if it is not for arresting the criminals immediately, he won’t appear at any of Charnel family’s bases or sailing ships.”
Rale Charnel was visibly puzzled:
“Without entering the family’s territory or boarding the ships, how would he investigate the whereabouts of the spies?”
Noland Lee interjected:
“I have ‘Omniscient,’ Sir. I can deduce a person’s background, identity, position, and potential danger from simple items on them.”
“Omniscient…” Rale Charnel didn’t quite believe Noland’s words.
Noland expected his reaction and began to demonstrate his extraordinary abilities.
In Selena’s study, the sound of Noland analyzing Rale Charnel’s clothing, hair wax, key ring, magic pouch, boots, and other external things filled the room.
This speculation led Rale Charnel to involuntarily exclaim in astonishment.
He even took out some of his cherished small objects and handed them to Noland for analysis one by one.
Selena quietly observed from one side, knowing that the secret talk was almost a sure win at this point.
No one could question or refute Noland’s extraordinary abilities.
Noland’s performance in rooting out the spies was nothing short of miraculous, bound to win over Rale Charnel.
For Noland himself, there were two reasons he decided to help Rale Charnel identify the spies.
On the one hand, it was to gain the favor of the Charnel family; and on the other hand, it was to broaden his channels for obtaining pirate intelligence.
The spies in the Charnel family were there to dig up trade information on the sea, and they were responsible for notifying the pirates.
Catch them, deconstruct them, and the patterns of pirate incidents and their communication methods can be mastered.
From then on, Noland would be able to arrive at the scene of pirate raids before the support fleet of the Deep Sea Branch.
