บท 98: "The Fall of Count Coughlin" [2]

I stared blankly at Count Coughlin, who had been captured. This was the mastermind who had been manipulating Basset from behind the scenes, aiming to disrupt paper production.

'i caught the culprit using yellow dye as bait, but it's a bit disappointing,' I thought.

Actually, I can't hit a medium with something like this because the damage wasn't that great.

But it would be a pretty useful weapon for me. This incident could ruin Count Coughlin's reputation, leading to him being stripped of his seat in the Imperial Diet.

That's why he insists so vehemently on his innocence.

"I-I definitely won't. It's just that my subordinates were acting on their own…"

Count Coughlin waved his hands wildly, speaking passionately. On the other hand, I just smiled broadly. No matter how much he struggles, it's no use.

"The butler has already confessed everything. He even detailed how he came into contact with Basset."

"That's a lie!"
