While Angora was still studying the System building he was about to build, Edward, who had gone off to investigate the Society of the Secret Eye, hurried back.
"I'm here to turn in my quest." Edward turned on his System panel. Since Angora was the one who issued the quest to investigate the Society of the Secret Eye, the quest panel would only show the word 'completed' in front of Angora even if he had obtained sufficient information.
Edward only breathed a sigh of relief after everything was done. He casually cupped his hands at Angora and left the room, ready to rest.
On Angora's side, there was a corresponding change in his System page as well — the page [Quest Release Authority of the Secret Eye Investigation] had disappeared, replaced by a small video playback option.
Angora curiously opened the video.
It showed what Edward saw when he infiltrated the Society of the Secret Eye's base.
Angora quickly realized the value of the footage, which was why he sat upright and still, intending to obtain useful information from it.
Then, he listened as the Secret Eye Cultists used the two beheaded Players as the butt of their jokes for twenty minutes.
Angora was speechless.
After silently expelling those two idiotic Players from the ranks of his subjects, Angora learned how to drag the progress bar without anyone teaching him, and directly dragged the video to the main part.
It was a scene of two people who seemed to be high-ranking members of the Society of the Secret Eye having a conversation.
Edward must have seen it from a dark corner far away, which was why the image was not clear. Even so, Angora could immediately recognize that one of them was his second brother, the second son of the Faust family, Edmund Faust!
While Angora did not know the other person, he could tell from the black whip hanging by his waist that he was the person in charge of the Society of the Secret Eye's base — Black Whip.
"Mister Edmund, you only brought fifty thousand Rions this time. That's different from what we agreed on." Black Whip said lazily as he leaned back on the sofa. "I remember we agreed on a hundred and fifty thousand Rions!"
"You've done things too crudely! Even that small town outside the Valley of the Tragic Dead hasn't been destroyed yet! The Society has provided you with so much funding, but in the end, you only managed to produce trash like the Bone Summoning Incense. Don't you feel ashamed? "Edmund was obviously not that patient. He scolded in an exasperated voice, "If it weren't for the smuggling port in Grey Fjord, I wouldn't have needed your help …"
But before he could finish, Black Whip, who was still half-asleep, suddenly jumped up and kicked him to the ground. He then stepped on Edmund's head, and no matter how hard the second son of the duke struggled, he could not escape from the bottom of his boots.
"You're the one who embezzled a hundred thousand League, aren't you? It seems like the elders in the society have never told you why they, who are so greedy and greedy, don't even dare to take a single copper coin from the funds sent here. "
"What, what do you want to do? My father is a duke … "
"So what? After you were separated from the dukedom, you were already a useless pawn. "
Black Whip's voice was unusually cold as he increased the strength of his foot. "Do you believe that even if I kill you here, neither the Society of the Secret Eye nor your father would send anyone after me?"
"I-I'm wrong! I'll do anything, please spare me! " Edmund Faust, whose face had been deformed by Black Whip's stomp, finally lost his nobleman's arrogance. In its place was fear and humbleness that Angora had never seen from his elder brother.
"Do you know your mistake?" Black Whip's voice turned gentle, and the strength of his foot relaxed a little.
"Yes, yes!" Edmund quickly replied.
"Too late!" But Black Whip's face contorted into a vicious grimace. "You too, and those two bastards yesterday too! No one can challenge the authority of the Black Whip! "
With that, he suddenly exerted force on his foot, and with a loud squelch, Edmund's head was crushed like a tomato!
After that, Black Whip sat back on the sofa with a normal expression.
"Copper Spade," Black Whip called out indifferently.
A burly man walked in and asked respectfully, "Boss Black Whip, how may I help you?"
"Search this bastard for his official seal, and bring all of his property here," Black Whip said casually. "If he has a wife and kids, find a chance to kill them all."
"Understood. As you command," the burly man replied immediately.
"Hmph. Only normal people who beg for mercy in the face of death. It's only satisfying to torture them to death. Those two bastards yesterday, they were still smiling even when they died, tsk …"
At this, Black Whip's expression became as uncomfortable as if he had just eaten shit.
Angora had a feeling that this fellow's bad temper might have something to do with the two Players' hilarious behavior yesterday, and that was why he was so hot-tempered.
With that in mind, Edmund, who had run into the muzzle of Black Whip's gun, was a little pitiful.
"But since I've inherited his legacy, it's only natural for me to fulfill his wish. It's just a nameless, run-down town, isn't it?" Black Whip snickered. "Once we've dealt with the frogmen at the Grey Fjord, we'll get rid of them when we have enough manpower.This bastard may be stupid, but he's right about one thing. The Grey Fjord is the Society of the Secret Eye's greatest lifeline. Anything that threatens it must be destroyed … Eh? Copper Spade, why is it so messy outside? "
"Boss Black Whip! Someone noticed that one of our patrolling brothers has gone missing! "The burly man walked out and asked around for a while before rushing back to report.
"What?!" Black Whip stood up from the sofa, his expression grim.
Then, the image of the video went completely dark. Perhaps Edward felt that his existence had been exposed, and that it would be dangerous to continue hiding. Plus, there wasn't any information worth getting, so he left the Society of the Secret Eye's base.
Angora sat in his chair for a long time without moving.
There wasn't much information in the video, but in a way, it was very important.
Compared to the Nameless Town, the Society of the Secret Eye was a colossus that he couldn't even begin to imagine.
