A Little Desire Of Anti - Hero

Arc I - Chapter 86: The Beginning of the Network - 5

But continued to ponder some new information gleaned from the conversation with that person. Although not how much information he has, but there are other factors that make him think about it very much.

Turning right, But finally reached Earl Gray's room. Tapping slowly and finally getting permission to enter, he opened the door only to see that Earl Gray was still busy with his increasing work. Even so, he did not harass Earl Gray and only positioned himself on the right side behind Earl Gray.

Earl Gray's eyes caught But's presence before returning to the pile of documents in front of him. However, when he felt But's actions were somewhat different than usual, he asked, “But, is there anything that bothers you?”

Feeling no need to cover up this truth, But sighed softly before nodding lightly. “Earl, have the regular reports sent by our spies at Beatria Union been obtained?”

“Can you specify which spy you mean?”

“Please forgive your servant's negligence. More precisely the report that uses media special power it.”

Earl Gray's face glanced at But for a moment before shaking his head. “Last report from the person you mean we got three weeks ago. Tell me what exactly the problem is.”

“Actually it looks like he's starting to deviate, Earl.”

“How do you know that?” Earl Gray's face turned serious. With a hint of interest in his eyes he demanded more explanation from But.

However, But only replied by shaking his head. “I think it's still too soon to make a decision like this Earl. For now, this is still a guess. Even so, the possibility for this conjecture to actually happen is huge.”

“Explain the whole situation now!” earl Gray's orders were unceremoniously stale. This is now a priority, let alone reports belonging to the spy in question often contain content about people suspected of being the same person they are looking for.

With some of the ‘big orders’ issued by the Church of Glory, the pressure arising by it was enormous.

Moreover, with the timing of the reports of the destruction of the Overflow being bad, no, it was more appropriate to say it happened at the wrong time. Because with the appearance of this information, the pressure that fell into Earl Gray's hands became much heavier.

But nodded, understanding Earl Gray's situation as if it would make people's hair fall out. “After getting to this point, we have to look back at the report from Tenor about the state of the guard post that had been breached.”

“Yes, because of the incident also some related officials became concerned with the security of the city.”

“But as we know, the problem was immediately addressed. However, the problem arises from now on. Although ‘written’ has been reported that the intruder was exhausted, in fact the intruder is still there.”

As a person who ‘filters’ where the problem requires his hand down Earl Gray directly or not, But can do this. That was why the moment he saw Tenor's initial report, he had to give the spy a chance to get related information.

“Are you trying to distort that fact?!” earl Gray shouted furiously.

“Ya,” replied But with a nod. However, before Earl Gray could explode any further, he immediately opened his mouth again. “Because the spy who sent the information regarding the young man is on that team, and we still need the information that the spy will send, right?”

Calming his displeasure at But, Earl Gray took a deep breath. This person in front of him was truly terrifying. Although the appearance of But is only in his 40s, much younger than him who will have stepped on the head of five. However, he knew that this person was just an old fox.

Although this independent but action was in his favor, Earl Gray disliked the fact that But handled all of this personally. The feeling of someone still feeding a person secretly is really not liked.

Suppressing his personal feelings strongly. Earl Gray's eyes continued to stare at But, asking for more explanation.

“With those I let loose, the development of their livelihoods must have seen an increase in this city. However, it seems that due to some ‘small’ problem, he started to show resistance—“

“And it fell to its current position?”

Seeing that But nodded at the statement that was the truth. Earl Gray held his head before asking, “How are they? And according to your estimate when will they get out of town?”

“Their conditions I can say are not good. At least from their point of view. However, I have received some information from other channels that they have gotten information regarding the person we are looking for. Even so ...”

“Report we should have gotten we didn't get.” Exhaling deeply, Earl Gray's eyes began to shut as soon as he regained his senses. “Then previous question, when do you think they will get out of this city?”

“I think one to two days ahead.”

“Pict that as the deadline for the report to come. If we don't get the report ..”

The voice was muffled, stopping in the middle as Earl Gray took a deep breath. “Then we will move. You know exactly what I mean, right?”

Answering with a nod, But's eyes turned to glance at Earl Gray. This firmness that the man before him possessed was much better than some of his ancestors.

“So now I will start preparing for the worst possibility?”

“Yes, but you know that this movement should not be sniffed by anyone. Only choose people who are able to overcome this problem as soon as possible, if this news spreads not only bad sentiment we will get. However, the pressure from the Church of Glory will also increase.”

“Good Earl, I will immediately carry out your orders.”

With the new task and the issue of nobility orders completed, But soon resigned. As Earl Gray directed, he began to form a specific plan to address the matter.

Start from the most suitable time and place for absorption. In addition, he also began to design how to make the Night Eye team really fall and choose a path in which their team is ready to move. On top of that, of course personnel is an important point in the mission this time.

With the task he gave to that person to at least measure the strength of the Night Eye — team which ended in a fight. But now has data that can be used as a reference and makes the selection of a list of designated soldiers much easier.

Even on the surface he works very purposefully. However, not all the facts he gave Earl Gray and he thought it was better to keep. Glance at a thin document that is a report of a separate mission the man is running. But Chief began to devise a separate plan.
