After I got all the information from Alex and the other spy, I studied it for a while and called James.
"James, these are the 2 lists of names that we got from the spies we captured" I said as I put 2 lists of names on the table in front of me.
"And this is the list of names of the people that the Ford family employed in the last 2 years that you gave me." I said as I put another list of names on the table in front of me.
"Interrogate only the people whose name is on all 3 of these lists. I will give you until sunrise to get as much information from them." I ordered James.
"As you wish young master." He said as he bowed before leaving.
[Celine Frost's POV (Student Council President)]
I walked into my office and I began working. I had to come in early for the past month because handling the Student Council's work and directing the investigations on multiple nobles in secrecy was very time consuming.
As I was getting the paperwork out of the way I heard a knock on my door.
"Come in, what is the matter Robert?" I asked after I saw the vice-president at the door.
"President Celine, Leon Ford requests to meet you." He said.
"What does he want?" I asked with a slight frown on my face but still talking in a calm tone.
"He is not willing to tell me. All he told to me was that he wanted to talk to you, alone. " He said in response.
"Let him in." I said after thinking for a while, Robert's eyes widened a bit in surprise but he did not say anything and walked out of the door.
'What does that brat want?' I thought as Robert walked out. 'Did he find out about the investigation? Probably not I did not get a report of any suspicious behavior and I doubt that brat found out himself. Hmm... Lets see.' I thought as I saw the door opening and saw him walking in.
"Good morning President, we need to talk." Leon said as he looked at me.
"What did you want to talk about?" I asked with a smile on my face without wasting any time .
Leon looked at me in the eyes, slowly pulled out a chair in front of my desk and sat down, I did the same.
"I am working with an organization that is in the drug business. I have consumed and dealt drugs to hundreds of students at the academy." Leon said while looking straight into my eyes with an eerily calm and indifferent tone.
My smile froze, my eyebrows twitched and my jaw clenched.
"I want you to forget about this and stop investigating me further" Leon said before I could say anything, still looking straight into my eyes as if he was talking to his subordinate.
'How did he find out?' I thought shocked at what he had just said.
"What investigation are you talking about?" I asked barely keeping a straight face.
Leon looked at me for a second and did not say anything and then he pulled out a file and put it on my table and told me to look.
I opened and started reading and my eyes widened in surprise as I looked at the contents. It was a file of the names of all the informants and the students she used as spies in the Ford house as well as their age, place of birth, address, family members and how much they were paid by me to spy on Leon.
"This is all the information I found in a single night by myself. Imagine how much I will find if we used all of our resources, to find out and notify all the noble families of what you did would be a piece of cake." He said in the same indifferent tone gazing into her soul.
I realized the situation I was in, I knew he had me. It made me extremely furious but I gathered myself.
"What do you want?" I asked gritting my teeth in anger.
"Stop investigating me. Forget this ever happened." He said expressionlessly.
I started thinking about what my options were, I started thinking of every possible thing to do but-
"By the way if you refuse, I will kill all the spies I captured and make their family's lives a living hell. Then I will notify all the nobles you are investigating of what you are doing. Then when your father finds out that not only did you investigate several nobles and incur their wrath but also failed miserably and have nothing to show for it, you can kiss your chances of becoming his successor goodbye." Leon said in a cold tone interrupting my thoughts.
Looking at his demeanor and his cold indifferent eyes, as if a hawk looking at its prey, I knew it was over.
"I understand we will stop." I said looking down.
"I want to make another deal. I want us to work together, if you are willing of course " Leon said.
I looked up and saw Leon, I could see a faint smile on his face. I had a bad feeling of what's to come.
