Chapter 136: Everything in the Royal Capital Will Be Mine
The long night hadn't passed. At this moment, Russell had just finished handling all his affairs and gone to bed.
"Damn Ayanokouji, I have to find a way to get rid of him. He shouldn't be on guard against me. This is the perfect time to take action." He said to himself.
Ever since seeing Ayanokouji's methods, Russell's existence had become more secretive, and he had arranged for more security personnel for himself.
Previously, Ayanokouji knew where his account books were, which terrified Russell greatly.
But now his power had increased significantly, Ayanokouji's men shouldn't be able to infiltrate anymore.
At this moment, a cold feeling spread from the surface of Russell's throat, and there was a slight stinging pain.
Russell panicked in an instant. He knew very well that this was a kind of weapon.
"I heard you wanted to kill my Master?" Elsa's very ambiguous voice sounded in Russell's ears, "As long as you make a little noise, the consequences will be a little unimaginable."
Hearing the word Master, Russell understood that the other party was Ayanokouji's subordinate.
Who is this person? There are many guards here. How could she enter without anyone else noticing?
And why did Ayanokouji send this person to find him?
Elsa spoke again and said slowly: "I guess your mind must be full of questions now, so let me introduce myself first. My name is Elsa Granhiert, or use your title as the Bowel Hunter."
Russell's pupils trembled for a moment, his eyes full of fear.
Even in the royal capital, he had heard the name Bowel Hunter.
Why did the Bowel Hunter appear in the royal capital?
Why could Ayanokouji take the Bowel Hunter under his command.
Russell realized that Ayanokouji was far more terrifying than he had imagined.
"Besides, all the bandits you sent have been dealt with!" Elsa said with a smile, "You weren't lucky enough to think that my Master didn't know everything you've done, were you?"
Russell's heartbeat was now getting faster, he was sweating, and his breathing was getting faster. His brain was also spinning rapidly, thinking of solutions.
Although the other party was the notoriously cruel Bowel Hunter, she could have killed him silently, but she didn't.
"What's your purpose?" Russell said softly.
"You dare speak. I guess I just warned you, but it won't affect you much now." Elsa said softly, "Master is currently preparing evidence about you. It seems that you will be taken to the palace tomorrow."
"Is he crazy?" Russell immediately said excitedly, but his reason still allowed him to control his voice. "If you betray me, won't he be implicated?"
"No, he won't." Elsa said in a soft tone, "No one will betray Master, because everyone who might be will be dealt with by me, and all of Master's problems will be solved. This is my mission as a tool."
Elsa knew better than anyone that Ayanokouji was using her as a tool, but she didn't hate this attitude. On the contrary, she enjoyed it very much. Being Ayanokouji's sharp sword could satisfy her inner desires, and it could also give Meili a better life.
Then, Elsa's body emitted a terrifying aura of murder, enveloping Russell's body like a cold wind.
At this moment, Russell felt unparalleled terror.
"The reason why I didn't kill you immediately is just for you to understand your death. After all, Master only instructed me to deal with you, but the process is up to me."
From beginning to end, Elsa had a mentality of playing with her prey.
At the moment when Russell was dazed, Elsa swung the sword in her hand and easily cut his throat. At the same time, she covered his mouth to prevent Russell from making any sound.
Russell's body trembled violently, convulsing constantly, and he wet himself. But it didn't take much effort. All movement in his body stopped, and he soon turned into a cold corpse.
Elsa finished dealing with the body skillfully, then changed into Russell's clothes and taller shoes.
"I haven't been in disguise for a long time. I didn't need to face it like this before, but since it's Master's order, I have to carry it out properly." Elsa said to herself, "It's a coincidence that Master gave me a fun toy. Where is the toy?"
No one in the whole house knew that the owner of this house had lost his life.
At dawn the next day, Ayanokouji went to the Karsten house early to look for Crusch.
"Ayanokouji... why are you here?" In the mansion, Crusch didn't expect Ayanokouji to visit her at this time, so she asked quickly.
"I found something very important recently." Ayanokouji immediately took out the information Elsa had given him yesterday and showed the photos on his mobile phone, "Actually, I had been investigating this before, but only now do we have relevant evidence."
What he showed was evidence of Russell's previous wrongdoings, which he had asked Elsa to collect secretly.
Ayanokouji knew that Crusch was an honest person, and she would never allow a scapegoat like Russell to exist in the kingdom.
He would first announce some of Russell's crimes in the palace, so that Russell's reputation could be ruined.
He won Crusch's heart and used the Karsten family to gain the right to investigate all this time as a whistleblower.
In this way, Ayanokouji could legitimately inherit everything from Russell, and he could 'keep his own theft' and protect himself. No one would track him down. He just needed to find a few unimportant people to blame and end this matter.
He didn't need to worry about Russell jumping over the wall and confessing, because he had already taken care of it.
However, he knew that Russell wasn't the type of character who would commit suicide, so the reason for committing suicide due to fear of guilt was very unconvincing, and others would easily suspect.
So he asked Elsa to kill Russell, then he took the other party's belongings, disguised himself as Russell, and left the capital at dawn, making sure many people saw him.
Although Elsa's figure was a bit different from Russell's, Ayanokouji had previously obtained a special magical weapon from the followers of the Sin Archbishop of Sloth, which could directly change someone's appearance. The previous wizard worshipers originally used this thing to sneak into Arlam Village.
Ayanokouji would pretend that Russell had fled the royal capital.
Rather than committing suicide out of fear of crime, fleeing first was more like Russell's style. Let Russell's existence remain unknown forever.
"Russell is actually such a person!?" Crusch looked at the information provided by Ayanokouji and was shocked. She had actually done business with such a person before, "Ayanokouji, how did you find out about these things?"
"Someone secretly gave me information before, but I thought it was uncertain. At the same time, I also wanted to avoid telling others, so I didn't mention the relevant issues to anyone else. Only yesterday did I receive enough evidence." Ayanokouji said, "The witnesses are also willing to come forward to testify."
"I see." Crusch nodded excitedly, "Then let's go to the palace to report the situation now! A scapegoat like this shouldn't exist!"
"Um."
The scene changed, Ayanokouji and Crusch had already gone to the palace.
Ayanokouji presented the information he had collected to the members of the Council of Wise Men. Miklotov and the other members of the Council of Wise Men were stunned and couldn't believe that Russell had done such a thing.
Seeing the shocked expressions on their faces, Ayanokouji knew very well that many of them were just pretending. They knew what Russell had done, and there were even many people who were close to Russell, and Russell had control over them, so they were also protecting Russell.
The content of the transactions between them might not be allowed by morality or law.
Ayanokouji naturally knew this.
The shock on the faces of the members of the Council of Wise Men was that they didn't expect Ayanokouji to have the courage and ability to expose Russell.
"Ayanokouji-sama, you can track him down so carefully!" Miklotov said in surprise, and immediately sent someone to summon Russell to the palace.
Clearly, Miklotov wasn't one of the colleagues colluding with Russell. When he spoke, a panicked expression appeared on the faces of several people, fearing that Russell would be arrested and tell their stories.
All these expressions were caught in Ayanokouji's eyes, and he could see them at a glance.
After a long time, a guard rushed back to the palace: "I would like to report to everyone, Sir Russell's whereabouts are unknown, and he is not at home. According to the soldiers guarding the city, he just left the royal capital."
"What!?" Crusch said with a shocked expression on her face.
"Maybe he ran away." Ayanokouji said calmly. He was the only one who knew that Russell was no longer alive, but of course he couldn't reveal it. "It seems I was wrong to leak the news earlier. In the end, it was enough to remind the snake."
"No, no, no, how could it be Ayanokouji's problem!" Crusch said quickly, "If it weren't for Ayanokouji, we wouldn't be able to find Russell's true identity at all."
"But Russell left the Royal Capital at this time, which is indeed very problematic..." Miklotov frowned, stretched out his hand and gently stroked his white beard.
"Miklotov, I have a proposal. Crusch and I will investigate the matter relating to Russell." Ayanokouji said to everyone on the Council of Wise Men, "Although Russell has fled, but what he did in the royal capital is definitely impossible to erase. I am willing to investigate this matter with Crusch."
He did this not only to facilitate his inheritance of Russell's property, but also to take the opportunity to eliminate threatening existences and gain greater authority for himself.
For example, with the power to investigate this matter, he could also command members of the Knights.
Listening to Ayanokouji's words, Crusch also nodded. In her heart, Ayanokouji was a very just person, so she took the risk and tried her best to investigate the matter of Russell.
"Really? I think you two are suitable candidates. I will leave this matter to you." Miklotov nodded, and the other members of the Council of Wise Men had no choice but to agree. There was no point in objecting now.
"Thank you very much. I will definitely live up to the expectations of everyone on the Council of Wise Men." Ayanokouji narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at everyone, "If the members of the Council of Wise Men have any relevant clues, they can also contact me."
He gave a hint to the members of the Council of Wise Men who had cooperated with Russell. Those who understood naturally would understand that those who didn't want to be involved could only bribe him.
From beginning to end, Ayanokouji never thought of investigating and shutting down the black market that Russell had once controlled. This could bring huge profits. Moreover, it had penetrated deep into the foundation of the Royal Capital, and there would be civil strife.
He took this opportunity to occupy the magpie's nest and took for himself all the hard work that Russell and the others had done.
The current situation was going according to his script. After everything was done, the entire royal capital would basically be under his control.
'The final winner is me.' Ayanokouji raised his head.
