Chapter 733: Chapter 238: Insider_2
Leonard Churchill might not be adept at ntal Secret Skills, but he was not ignorant of them.
Therefore, he had detected the fluctuations of ntal Pollution in the sound waves just now, and was exempt from the Techniques, which provided him with an Enlightennt.
Then the question arose.
It seed that la Lady was expressing concerns about family matters, but why would she use such a cautious Spell to instigate Vera Williams?
That was interesting.
Instigation ans “brainwashing,” essentially “PUA.”
If one couldn’t perceive this Spell, one’s subconscious would start to feel that she was right.
Over ti, it could even change certain perceptions.
Leonard Churchill also imdiately saw through la Lady’s intention.
Instigation can be more effective than murder.
It could completely result in an obedient “Puppet.”
The tactics of internal strife within big families are indeed not ordinary and dark.
At the sa ti, he was also puzzled, “So, the fat lady isn’t the one who hired the assassin, then what’s the deal with that guard at the door?”
la Lady was a bit clever, but not particularly wise.
Since she had used instigation, she had even less motive to hire an assassin.
Moreover, if Vera Williams were to die in the future, the traces of ntal Pollution might still be investigated by an expert.
Such directional clues could easily be taken as coming from the “murderer.”
So, the real mastermind behind the scenes was not la Lady either.
With these thoughts, Leonard Churchill stepped out.
…
Watching Leonard Churchill erge, Vera Williams, whose spirit had been sowhat hazy, suddenly beca clear-headed, “You…”
She had been thinking that the topic was difficult to explain, but with soone coming out now, it was even harder to explain.
la Lady, full of hostility, snorted coldly and said unhappily, “Who are you, and why are you hiding sneakily in the room?”
In this world where class consciousness is strong, in the Comrce Guild, besides her and Vera Williams, everyone else was a lowly servant.
How could a servant dare to talk to a master like this?
Leonard Churchill had no interest in humoring the fat lady, promptly revealing her secret, “You used ‘Spiritual Instigation’ on Miss Williams, and you’re calling a liar?”
Upon hearing this, a flash of panic swept across la Lady’s eyes.
But she still tried to maintain composure, using fury to cover her panic, “You… What nonsense are you talking about!”
Spiritual Instigation is not almighty.
It’s like dreaming, without awakening.
Once awakened, one would instantly know the dream she wove was full of flaws.
Especially if so perceptions hadn’t been twisted yet and soone called them out, all previous efforts would be wasted.
This was also the reason Leonard Churchill chose to expose her in public.
Only such a huge shock of information could jolt Vera Williams awake with a hamr blow.
“Instigation?”
Indeed, as he thought, Vera, hearing these words, felt like she had been struck by lightning.
Nurous contradictory thoughts collided in her mind causing a mont of grogginess.
But because the contradictions were so intense, Leonard’s words pierced her like needles, snapping her back to reality.
Vera regained her senses and also realized many issues, looking at la Lady, still in disbelief, “Aunt, what… what have you done to ?”
“I don’t know what he’s talking about! My goodness, you wouldn’t believe a stranger over your own aunt, would you?”
la Lady, although still insistent, betrayed herself as she rambled incessantly, “Guard! Where is the guard! How can all sorts of weird people enter the master’s room…”
Seeing her affairs about to be exposed, she paced anxiously on the spot, preparing to leave the room.
“Heh.”
Leonard Churchill sneered, knowing why she was eager to leave.
Because the “stolen goods” were still on her.
She didn’t dare reveal them!
The fat lady herself wasn’t much of a card master; if she could use Instigation, it was definitely due to so external object.
And at this mont, she was carrying it on her!
With this in mind, Leonard looked at the jeweled handbag in her hand, his wrist twitched slightly, and a piece of glass he had picked up casually flew out like a flying knife.
“Swoosh,” it made a cut on the bag.
A palm-sized ugly green doll fell out onto the floor.
[Dream Weaver’s Instigation Doll]
Detailed description: Tier II ancient Relic, Blood Contract, after use, releases a sustained instigation towards targets within range at a multiple of the user’s own ntal Power;
….
la Lady, seeing the truth revealed, turned pale.
Vera Williams, despite a sliver of skepticism in her mind, also beca completely alert at that mont.
The ugly doll fell to the ground, its creepy eyeballs staring at her as if mocking: Oh, how foolish and naive you are, you’ve been deceived!
Vera looked at the ugly doll, her gaze shaking incessantly.
For the first ti.
She felt a certain unspeakable and pessimistic stir within her toward a relative she never thought would wish her harm.
For the first ti, she experienced firsthand the malice and betrayal of a close relative, a sense of loss and contrast sharper than any other emotion.
Like an avalanche.
So beliefs, collapsed.
Yet, amidst the panic, la Lady continued to babble, “What is this? No… it’s not mine!”
She still tried to defend herself.
After all, framing and deceit were not uncommon in Upper Class Society.
Just then, a man wearing half-armor walked in.
la, as if grasping at straws, shouted, “Captain Loki, capture this suspicious character first! I suspect he has cast so sort of evil magic on Vera…”
Upon saying this, she seed to convince herself, protesting agitatedly, “That doll must have been secretly placed in my bag by him!”
Logically speaking, if Leonard Churchill didn’t kill la Lady, he really couldn’t clear himself.
Because from an outsider’s perspective, having t Vera Williams for just one day, he appeared way too “obedient,” which seed all the more contrived.
