“I understand.”

After a long pause, rlin replied impassively. rlin’s reaction stunned Bartamanth. rlin was Count Stanwin’s only son, yet his reaction was not at all like a person who had just received his father’s death notice.

Nevertheless, Bartamanth was just a ssenger. Now that rlin had acknowledged the news, Bartamanth did not linger and left the manor.

“Master, the Honorable Count...”

The butler trembled all over. Count Stanwin was dead. This was equivalent to the collapse of the entire clan. Whether or not this manor could continue to be maintained, it was difficult to say.

“Prepare the carriage, I’m heading out.”

rlin’s expression remained calm. Even his tone did not show the slightest inflection. However, those from the Void Zone who knew rlin well would know that this was his most terrifying state.

The butler was about to say sothing but stopped. Finally, he did not say anything and went to prepare a carriage for rlin. rlin shrugged on a coat, climbed into the carriage, and headed directly for Phantom Headquarters.

“Father...”

Inside the carriage, rlin whispered. He thought about Old Wilson and various mories of Count Stanwin. Count Stanwin and Old Wilson were very similar to one another. The only difference was Count Stanwin was more powerful than Old Wilson, and also showed more love for rlin.

rlin did not bother asking Bartamanth who had killed Count Stanwin. For a matter of such gravity, rlin was certain that Phantom, the intelligence agency of the Holy Dragon royal family, would know more details. Therefore, rlin imdiately headed directly for Phantom Headquarters.

The carriage soon arrived at Phantom Headquarters. rlin went to the Logistic Team. Belle was slightly surprised as she asked, “Leon, why did you co today?”

Today was Leon’s rest day, so he did not have to co to Phantom Headquarters. Compared to the other departnts, only the Logistic Team had such a rotation system. For this reason, many of the other Teams were extrely envious of them.

“I want to check on so intelligence, should I ask the Investigation Team?”

rlin replied briefly.

“Check on so intelligence?”

Belle looked up and was about to ask for more details when she saw the murderous glint behind rlin’s deceptively calm eyes. Suddenly, this genial-looking young man seed terrifying.

“You can ask for Linda from the Investigation Team. She and I are very close. As long as the information isn’t too confidential, it should be fine.”

Belle’s voice seed to tremble slightly. She did not know why this usually genial-looking young man would undergo such a major change today.

rlin hesitated and then nodded. “Thank you.”

Thus, Belle accompanied rlin to the Investigation Team. Here, there were all sorts of information from the entire Holy Dragon Empire. Although the Investigation Team was small, their intelligence covered the entire Holy Dragon Empire. For the royal family to know what was going on everywhere, they relied almost fully on the Investigation Team.

Naturally, the Investigation Team was filled with people. Fortunately, with Belle’s help, they had located a woman who was dressed very provocatively. Nonetheless, she was quite good-looking, so her choice of dressing was not revolting.

“Linda, this is Leon from the Logistics Team. He would like to check on so intelligence.”

Linda looked up. When she spotted Belle and rlin, the corners of her lips tugged into a faint smile. “Of course, Sister Belle. The next ti your Logistics Team receive sothing good, you must tell .”

“Of course.”

Belle paused and said to rlin, “What do you want to check on, ask away.”

rlin’s eyes narrowed to almost a thin line while his expression turned incredibly severe. Calmly, he said, “So ti ago, the Deinosuchus rcenary Group founded by Count Stanwin was escorting a group of rchants but the entire group perished. I need details, every last one, and the more detailed, the better!”

rlin’s tone was not at all agitated, and the speed of his speech was very laid back as though he was talking about sothing insignificant that had nothing to do with him.

“Count Stanwin? Leon, that’s your...”

Beside him, Belle’s eyes widened. As a mber of the Logistics Team and as a mber of Phantom, no one was a simpleton. rlin knew that even the weakest Logistics Team was composed of elites. Placed anywhere, these people would be considered prodigies or icons, and were perhaps even nobler than so of the aristocrats.

This was the Phantom Organization. The most feared faction under the Holy Dragon royal family’s control.

Therefore, Belle also knew rlin’s identity, which was Count Stanwin’s son. However, she did not know how rlin had managed to form connections with Deputy Commander Heroult and was ultimately arranged to join the Logistics Team by Deputy Commander Heroult.

“Can you find it?”

rlin waved his hand without allowing Belle to continue her sentence. Nevertheless, Belle finally understood why rlin ca to the headquarters today and the reason for the scary glint in his eyes.

His father was dead. He was killed. Belle could not imagine how rlin could remain so calm. However, the calr he was, the more intimidating he appeared.

“Of course, this isn’t considered a trivial matter. After all, Count Stanwin is a peak fourth-form contender with a mid-tier almighty beast bloodline. They went to Cedar City and encountered the Python Army. The leader of this Python Army is called Orsato. Orsato has the Python bloodline and he is slightly more powerful than Count Stanwin. He had already invaded Cedar City a long ti ago but deceived the rchant group to enter the city. Finally, the rchant group was besieged and annihilated.”

Linda gave all the details of Count Stanwin’s death to rlin. The information was so detailed that it was as if she was present on the battlefield. This also caused a jolt in rlin’s heart. The royal family’s most mysterious faction, Phantom, was truly extraordinary. Since he was in the Logistics Team, he was still far away from the core groups such as the Investigation Team and the Combat Team. Hence, he did not know how fearso Phantom was.

Now, seeing the detailed information that had been gathered by Phantom in just a few days, he finally witnessed Phantom’s incredible prowess.

“Python Army, Orsato, I got it! Belle, let’s go to the Mission Hall.”

rlin nodded to Linda in appreciation, and walked directly toward the Mission Hall.

“Mission Hall? Leon, have you gone crazy? That is a place that only the Investigation Team and the Combat Team would go. Those missions aren’t simple. In fact, how many missions issued by Phantom would be simple?”

Belle was stunned. She did not expect that rlin would want to go to the Mission Hall. That was a place reserved for crazy people like the Investigation Team and the Combat Team.

rlin did not explain nor did his footsteps faltered. He headed directly toward the Mission Hall ahead.

“Leon, you...”

Belle stomped her foot but finally followed him. She wanted to see what mission would rlin accept in the Mission Hall. She did not believe that rlin had gone crazy.
