Bingxue Witch now prefers to believe that Loren is an honest and good-natured old man rather than soone who ticulously plans everything from behind the scenes.
"Actually, this task still requires the involvent of Hyperion, due to her identity as a businesswoman from the Northwest Niksasende Territory, and she is the only woman from the upper-class society of the Northwest Niksasende Territory who has recently entered the workforce. During this period, I have already made many necessary enhancents to her identity."
Unity spoke fluently to the woman in front of her.
"Upper-class won from the Northwest Niksasende Territory, is there anything special about them?"
Bingxue Witch asked curiously.
She couldn't figure out the cause-and-effect reasoning.
"Have you heard of Professor Landry, who has risen to prominence in Brilda recently?"
Unity threw another question.
If they knew about Professor Landry, it would be easy to explain, but if they didn't, she would have to start by explaining the information about this target.
"Of course, we saw reports about this Imperial Hound on our way here."
Hyperion clenched her fist, speaking fiercely.
She found this Imperial Hound very loathso.
"..."
Unity saw Hyperion's attitude and fell into a brief silence.
"Professor Landry is indeed a declining noble from the Northwest Niksasende Territory. He currently needs a capable and well-trained woman to act as his fiancée to gain the Empire's trust more easily. Your identity is suitable to beco his fiancée from his hotown, and I have a way to get you close to him."
Unity picked up the black tea on the coffee table, sipped it lightly, and spoke with a heavy tone.
The task is indeed perilous, but it is also an excellent opportunity.
"Miss Unity, are you suggesting that I get close to him and then find an opportunity to kill him?"
Hyperion raised a question, making a throat-slitting gesture as a test.
She seed a bit eager to assassinate Landry at the mont.
"...No, you are to truly act as his fake fiancée. This is a collaboration; we need to monitor him, and he cannot die for now."
Unity's distaste for Landry was sincere,
"You don't have to force yourself. The decision to accept this task is up to you."
Unity added a sentence.
But it seed like she was hiding sothing.
"Ah?"
Hyperion slightly furrowed her brow, her eyes moving left and right, analyzing the information-rich words.
Collaboration?
Does Professor Landry, this Imperial man, need a fiancée because he actively sought help from Unity of the Allied Forces...?
Hyperion thought carefully for a mont, and in an instant, she understood a lot of things.
Professor Landry's research within the Cerryti Empire was always being stolen by the Allied Forces, and the Empire could never figure out at which step the intelligence was being leaked.
So, was Landry selling the information himself?
"Professor Landry's reputation is increasing daily within the academic circles of the Cerryti Empire, and he also has a significant opportunity coming up soon. It's very likely that he will beco the chief of the newly established Magical Energy Institution Committee of Cerryti, at which point our negotiating position will be drastically different, now is the best ti to bind his interests."
Unity continued.
If Landry becos the head of the new Magical Energy Institution Committee of Cerryti, he will have a high degree of influence over the future military industry of the Empire.
anwhile, Landry has good relations with Director Dex of the Empire's Special Operations Departnt, has achieved remarkable feats in Brilda, and has also made significant contributions in the field of Magical Energy Fission, a dependable aide for Dex's career. Additionally, Landry has access to the Empire's Special Operations Departnt and has a small chance of accessing so particularly special intelligence.
Unity felt that Professor Landry was slippery and cunning, easily winning the trust of those around him within the Empire and probably thriving within the Special Operations Departnt, highly regarded by Director Dex.
Based on her personal judgnt, Unity didn't want to send a valuable spy to Landry's side, but if the spy personally wished to, selling Landry a big favor might lead to even greater returns.
After all, Landry had always been sharing intelligence with her, making Unity sowhat unclear on what Landry was trying to balance.
"What is Landry really thinking?"
Bingxue Witch's slender fingers gently tapped on her knee, deep in thought.
She clearly also understood the general situation.
"There's a big divide within the Cerryti Empire, especially since the 'Blood Cleansing Day', with the noble faction and the populace faction often taking action. Undoubtedly, Landry is a genuine Imperial, but he seems to be closer to the nobility and likely an extremist, aiming to instigate so kind of reform within the Empire."
Unity expressed her deductions.
The mysterious man she encountered on the train that day had taken over for Landry, and since then, Unity had been observing the mysterious man's movents.
She could be sure of this guy's spirit of the Empire and his enthusiasm for the imperial cause, which was certainly not an act.
But he clearly had his own plans.
Currently, there was a brief alignnt of interests with their Allied Forces.
"I wonder what forces are really behind Landry..."
Bingxue Witch roughly understood Unity's explanation.
Years ago, the nobility of the Cerryti Empire held too much power, capable of obscuring the sky with one hand, controlling most of the authority, wealth, and even dia resources.
Besides oppression and exploitation, so nobles even began to disregard civilians as human, killing and looting as they pleased.
