Chapter 71: Meeting With Complete Honesty (1)

The Augustus family?

Bai Yan wasn’t the least bit surprised; as expected, this elf girl was indeed a descendant of the Augustus family.

Well, this was quite reasonable, after all, among the aristocrats in Tatsumi City, only the Augustus family belonged to the elven race.

Before joining the Demon Hunt Agency, Bai Yan had worked in a clerical position approving daily applications of registered supernaturals. Naturally, he had acquired extensive knowledge about the Otherworlds, including information about the elves.

The Air Alliance is the only country among Noah’s three major nations that conceals extraordinary phenomena. It consists of hundreds of independent cities and ultimately forms a diverse and vast entity dominated by humans.

Every year, eighty hereditary kings select two “proxy alliance leaders” to handle state affairs, rotating annually and prohibited from serving consecutive terms.

Only when the Air Alliance faces a critical situation will a formal leader be chosen, who will possess absolute power surpassing all others.

The number of long-lived elf clans is few and far between, and even within the prominent families of the Air Alliance, they are rare. The oldest of these families is the Augustus family of Tatsumi City. Their ancestors once held the esteemed title of “king” and even served as a proxy alliance leader for a year. For thousands of years, the Augustus family has resided in Tatsumi City across generations.

Maryse calmly said, “Yes, it was the Augustus family. Last time under your guidance, I discovered a hidden item related to the Outer God at their residence. And recently, I have made a new discovery.”

For some reason, Maryse felt a sense of illicit pleasure at this moment.

It was as if some sort of negative force was eagerly waiting to break free from her closed heart!

She began to fabricate, saying, “Perhaps we need to investigate the Augustus family more thoroughly. I have bribed someone from this family and obtained an absolutely accurate topographic map.”

Maryse had no desire to reveal her true identity in the real world, so she kept the fact that the topographical map was her own creation to herself.

She calmly retrieved two USB drives from her waist and naturally handed them to Mu Ling and Alan, who stood nearby, giving them no time to refuse.

“The Augustus family?”

Alan narrowed his eyes and said with concern, “They are the noblest of elves, quite an ancient and prestigious family among the five great families residing in Tatsumi City’s Platinum Zone. Many of their members even hold high positions within the city and the Air Alliance headquarters.”

“Your statement just now was a very serious accusation. How can you ensure that everything you said is true?”

Even within the Demon Hunt Agency, there are members belonging to the Augustus family.

As an official, Alan cannot simply stand by and watch if someone were to casually target such a vast and ancient family.

[What’s wrong with this guy? Oh, it seems he’s from the Demon Hunt Agency, so did he subconsciously act as a loyal dog and protect his master?]

The so-called Demon Hunt Agency is nothing but the lapdogs of the nobles, and there are quite a few scandals. As a member of the upper class, Maryse truly looks down on these so-called Night Watchers from the bottom of her heart.

She responded coldly, “Clown of the Demon Hunt Agency, it is not up to you, a mere executor, to determine the authenticity of this matter. Babel Tower doesn’t answer to you.”

Maryse knows well which banner to raise, for the Savior is the sole nucleus of the Babel Tower.

Alan had no intention of showing weakness and calmly replied, “Oh, it seems you have a strong opinion about the Demon Hunt Agency. Could it be that you’re a criminal in the real world?”

“I just don’t want you to exploit the Babel Tower,” he added.

[Hi there, this guy must not have a girlfriend!]

Maryse was furious.

At this moment, Mu Ling stepped forward and calmly interjected, positioning herself between the two individuals, saying, “There’s no need to debate here. We should simply await the verdict of the Savior.”

So all three of them turned their gaze, awaiting the “Savior” to give the final judgment.

[The Savior knows everything, so the dancer’s behavior is merely unnecessary. If the Augustus family truly has any issues, the Babel Tower will eventually act on them… This family is even older and more prestigious than the Mu family, and is not easy to deal with.]

This was Mu Ling’s thought.

[Damn, what is he thinking? I just called him master, isn’t that enough? I hope he can trust me and make the situation of this worthless family even more chaotic.]

This was Maryse’s thought.

[These people are clearly thinking beyond just hunting down cultists. Despite having no legal authority, they are brazenly targeting the wealthy elite, a far cry from the Night Watcher’s methods.]

This was Alan’s thought.

Bai Yan remained silent for a long time, his spiritual strength enabling him to fully comprehend the thought patterns of the three individuals.

Mu Ling abides entirely by her own will, while “Psychic Dancer” desires to deliver a ruthless blow to the Augustus family, and Alan is concerned about the unbridled nature of Babel Tower.

He knew how to respond.

[Rather than the problems of the Augustus family, you actually prefer to see chaos unfold. Psychic Dancer, don’t you think so?]

Bai Yan’s voice calmly entered the minds of the three individuals, causing a dramatic shift in the expression beneath Maryse’s mask.

I have actually been seen through!

[How annoying! I wanted to play tricks but he saw through it. Now, I must adjust my approach. I was even planning to create a scene while they infiltrate the family…]

Bai Yan calmly continued to convey his thoughts upon hearing Maryse’s idea.

[The Babel Tower is not an organization that strictly requires everything to revolve around saving the world.]

[You may convince ‘Nightsaber’ to assist you on your own, without involving me… When the time is right and I need you to act, I will give instructions naturally; you don’t need to try to persuade me to act on your ideas.]

In fact, Bai Yan felt that something was amiss with the Augustus family, due to the “Deep Ones Transformation” scroll, but he couldn’t provide specific details and thus, was unable to orchestrate any concrete actions.

Moreover, he felt it would be better not to make a so-called “judgment” for now, otherwise, he would feel like being led by the little guy. “Psychic Dancer” would attempt to use Babel Tower more often in the future.

Bai Yan initially intended to provide meticulous help directly, but soon realized that doing so would compromise his position.

Alan breathed a sigh of relief; it was evident that the owner of the Babel Tower was not a reckless individual.

But this ‘Psychic Dancer’ deserves his vigilance!

“Shall I have a private deal with Nightsaber?”
