Chapter 465

Chapter 465: Chapter 366 Aleister Crowley is Born Chapter 465: Chapter 366 Aleister Crowley is Born He knew that Star Antimony indeed had a Crowley Family, and that Croix was the Hawkeye assassin executing the “Hemostasis Action.” He was also aware that the Prime Minister of the Irisflower was the leader of the Hawkeye Organization—

“We didn’t catch Croix at the beginning.@@@@

After Croix disappeared, Aleister began to become active...

so we must consider a possibility, which is that the incident of ‘you being captured and then rescued by Aleister’ was actually staged.”

After Edward had finished explaining the intelligence to Aiwass, he looked at him seriously, “You understand the significance of this intelligence now, don’t you?

“Her Majesty specifically pointed out that this matter should be kept secret for now.

Because you are about to be appointed as the Minister of the Department of Care of Magical Creatures, and the incident of you being rescued by Aleister has already been reported on in the newspapers.

If the matter of ‘Aleister being a Star Antimony spy’ were to be revealed at the same time, people would begin to doubt your allegiance—your rescue would then take on special significance.

“—And now the problem is, the letter is missing.”

Having heard this, Aiwass finally grasped the full picture of the situation.

...

But because he had provoked quite a few people, Aiwass was unable to determine who was behind the mischief for the moment.

However, from the source of the letter, Aiwass could almost confirm that this matter originated from a conspiracy by the Star Antimony people.

Because everything else could be explained away, but for the Crowley Family to come out and stand up, even for a general to make a false testimony, that was most likely the handiwork of Count Leipzig.

To take advantage of the situation and deal a blow to the Hawkeye Organization of the Irisflower would also perfectly suit the stance of Count Leipzig as the Son of the Moon.

After all, the Hawkeye Organization was a purely and extremely anti-Son of the Moon entity, their main operation being the assassination of the Son of the Moon.

The only thing that Aiwass couldn’t figure out was why they would especially want to preserve Croix’s honor...

“How did it get lost?”

Aiwass inquired further, “Why was there this letter?

And why was it in Captain Camus’s hands?”

“Not many knew of this intelligence.

When we were investigating this matter before, what we knew were just the initial reports, without having received the original document.

The original copy sent by the Irisflower spy from Star Antimony went through many hands before finally reaching Glass Island through navy channels.

Captain Camus only got this letter the afternoon before last.

Then last night, the letter disappeared.”

Edward sighed, clearly feeling the situation was very troublesome, “He was intending to find Sherlock yesterday, wanting to ask Sherlock to help him recover the letter.

But he searched all day and couldn’t find him.

He only learned today that Sherlock had left with you.”

Yet he still comforted Aiwass, “Don’t get hung up on whether Aleister is a spy or not.

Because as long as this letter becomes public, we would be unable to prove that Aleister is not a spy.

And such suspicion would then become a means for people to attack you—it could even potentially become a weapon for the Round Table Hall to attack you.

Especially since Mr.

Oswald isn’t around, and there are even rumors that Mr.

Oswald has passed away.

“If your Guardian Spirit is missing, and you haven’t been formally armored by your father, the Moriarty Family itself could be attacked.”

Edward rested his hand on Aiwass’s shoulder, “But don’t worry, I will protect you.

But they can pretend they do believe it.

As a Royal Secret Agent, Aleister is officially under the Department of Care of Magical Creatures.

And if this letter were to become public, even if they couldn’t prevent Aiwass’s appointment, they could still remove Aleister at the very least.

Moreover, Aiwass does not have the adaptability to the Path of Authority; at best, he would only ever be a bishop.

Plus, he’s not an Elf and can’t learn Advanced Divine Arts, so becoming a Cardinal Archbishop is out of the question.

So if they remove Aleister, their enforcer, they would at least be able to drag Aiwass into a struggle.

Beyond these wary old Knight Families, emerging Knight Families full of envy towards the Founding Families and the newly-born merchant class might also target the apparently weakest Moriarty Family.

Surrounded by enemies.

The purple-red glow in Aiwass’s eyes kept flickering.

I was worried I didn’t have an entry point to influence the Round Table Hall.

—Giving me trouble?

The Star Antimony must pay a price.

You all are actually presenting me with a family claim—Aleister Crowley, this is the identity you’ve created for me.

Since it’s already been established...

then brace yourselves and don’t try to deny it later.

The Irisflower People...

Forget it, it’s not their turn yet.

Also, the Round Table Hall of Avalon—

—you wouldn’t be so anxious if I didn’t know the Minister of the Department of Care of Magical Creatures wielded so much power.

Aiwass narrowed his eyes slightly.

He said gently, “Then since Sherlock isn’t here, why don’t you let me give it a try?

I’ve worked with Sherlock on numerous cases, and he quite acknowledges my Wisdom.”

He’s called me a “scheming, stinking Fox” several times.

If he’s in such a hurry, then it must be sincere praise.

Aiwass volunteered, “If I don’t get involved in this incident, I’ll help you retrieve this letter—how about it?”

Edward fell into deep thought, while Captain Camus looked at Edward with pleading eyes.

Obviously, the captain wanted Edward to agree—because he truly couldn’t bear the consequences of losing this thing while in his possession.

Even if he was just a scapegoat.

“Fine.”

Edward sighed, “I did want to protect you.

But perhaps that was just wishful thinking on my part...

You’ve indeed grown up, and I might not be able to protect you completely in an event of this scale.

“But if you need me at any time, don’t be brave.

Come to me immediately.”

The dependable adult advised thus.
