Chapter 95 Instigation and the Full Moon

Evan smiled. He knew Hugh Deercha would make this request, and he had no intention of hiding it, so he smiled proudly and said:

"My name is Evan Horn, you probably haven't heard of me, but you definitely know my brother, Robert Horn, the war hero of the Kingdom of Rune, the most popular political star in the past two years, and a member of the lower house of the Kingdom's parliament."

"Robert Horn!!!"

Anyone who follows information about the higher-ups in Rune knows who Robert Horn is, and Hugh Deercha, who comes from a noble family, is no exception.

"If nothing unexpected happens, my brother will likely assume the position of Chairman of the Parliament's Military and Intelligence Committee in a few days."

He can be considered one of the direct superiors of MI9.

He knew and agreed to my recruiting disillusioned individuals from MI9. So, for your father's former subordinates, isn't this a very worthwhile opportunity to curry favor?

The cooperation between the two parties can be described as a two-way street, beneficial to both sides.

That's what they say, but Mason Deercha's subordinates have waited for years and this might be their only chance, while Robert and Irwin have other options. It's obvious who holds the initiative in their cooperation.

Of course, Evan wouldn't spell these things out; instead, he kept encouraging them:

"The resources of the extraordinary world are limited. If you don't fight for them, they will be taken by others. Without great merit and the help of others, how long will it take for you to rise to the level of a strong person by fighting alone? How long will it take for you to find out the truth about your father's murder? And how long will it take to restore the reputation of the Dilcha family?"

Sometimes, the right choice is more important than hard work. Think about it carefully.

Evan knew that she and Hugh Deercha had only known each other for a few days and had not yet established a deep friendship. If she had to choose between herself and her father's loyal old subordinate, she would definitely choose her father's old subordinate.

Therefore, Evan needs to make her realize that the only person who can help her overturn her father's case and revitalize her family in the future is Evan himself, not her father's old subordinates. This point is crucial.

Because in Robert and Irwin's vision, Hugh Deercha was their best tool to control this group of disillusioned people.

Therefore, Hugh Deercha's bias towards the disillusioned group was not in the interests of Robert and Irwin.

Hugh Deercha clearly understood Evan's words, and nodded with difficulty, saying:

"I know what to do, and I hope you can keep your promise in the end."

"You can rest assured about that; neither my brother nor I are the type to break promises lightly."

Based on the descriptions of George III in Lord of Mysteries and his deep cooperation with the Witch Cult, Evan was certain that no matter what he did in the future, his fate was already sealed, since he was standing on the opposite side of the protagonist, Klein.

Therefore, Evan wrote checks without any psychological pressure, which made Hugh Deercha, the "arbitrator," feel Evan's sincerity and confirm that Evan was not deceiving him.

Just as Evan was talking to Hugh Deercha, a tray appeared in front of him with a thick envelope on it and a letter opener thoughtfully placed next to it.

Seeing that the waiter holding the tray didn't say much, Evan understood that this was the list of spies that Mr. A had promised to give him.

So I took it and used a letter opener to open the envelope, took out the contents, and glanced at them.

Hugh Deercha didn't know what Mr. A had given Evan, but she instinctively sat up and looked around to make sure no one was watching.

Unfortunately, no matter how straight she stood, she couldn't see the side that Evan was blocking. Just as she was wondering if she should stand up, Evan pulled out a few pages from the thick stack of documents and handed them to her, saying:

"You've just withdrawn your surveillance of Zeril, but out of a spy's caution, he'll probably send people to observe you for a few more days. Don't be idle these few days; just follow and investigate these people. Don't go too deep yet, just a rough investigation will do. Also, prepare your reasons for investigating them in advance. The key point is to ensure that you don't arouse Zeril's suspicion. Once he's sure you're not colleagues and withdraws his surveillance, then you can conduct a more in-depth investigation."

Hugh Deercha took the papers Evan handed him, glanced at them, then waved them around and asked:

"This is your deal with Mr. A? What do they do? Are they all spies?"

"They're all spies, or rather, they're all connected to foreign powers, so don't go too deep into your initial investigations, or it'll be bad if Zeril finds out."

"How does Mr. A know so many people? I think there are even some extraordinary individuals among them. What did you give him that made him give you such a great gift?"

"Mr. A is actually a follower of the true creator of the evil god. People often ask him to do dirty things, so he naturally knows a lot. As for what I gave him to get this information from me, I can't tell you that."

Hugh Deercha remained silent, not pressing for further questions, but instead continued reviewing the documents in his hands, determined to imprint the objective in his mind.

Not long after, the party hosted by Mr. A ended, and Evan left the party first as if he didn't know Mr. A at all.

The gathering lasted quite a while, and when they came out, they found that it was already completely dark. The red full moon was faintly visible in the distance, and its soft red light spread across the road.

"The moonlight is so beautiful. If I didn't have to go home, I would love to take a walk under the moon."

In his previous life, Evan did not have a crimson moon, so the earth shrouded in a crimson moon had a strange beauty in his eyes.

Sitting in the carriage, Hugh Deercha, who had been thinking about investigating people's information, suddenly realized something when he heard Evan's words.

Looking out the carriage window at the sky that seemed to be covered by a hazy red veil, I broke out in a cold sweat.

Although Fors's words about the full moon night didn't seem to have much of an impact on her, how could Hugh Deercha, who lived in the same apartment building, not have noticed her pain? She had just been pretending not to know.

The thought of Fors struggling alone in her apartment filled Hugh Deercha with anxiety and restlessness; he longed to fly back immediately.

But Evan was right next to her, and she needed a reason to leave now, but if she lied, Hugh Deercha couldn't guarantee that she could keep it a secret.

She could tell him the truth, but Hugh Deercha was unwilling, because it was a friend's private matter, and how could she say it without his consent?

Just as she was hesitating and unable to choose, Evan said quietly:

"Today is the full moon; aren't you going home to check on Fors?"
