The two nobles were still talking, but Angel's thoughts were no longer in this small carriage.
She picked up her handbag, pretended to rummage for items, and pressed the "Crimson Eye" inside. With the carriage as the center, all living creatures within a radius of 50 meters came into her mind. At this time, they had returned from the suburbs of North Borough to the vicinity of the city, but as evening approached, there were not many pedestrians and carriages on the streets. Angel quickly filtered all the people in the area and found no trace of Beyonder.
Of course, maybe the other party Sequence is far beyond her, far beyond the range that the "Crimson Eyes" can detect, but if she is targeted by such a stalker, her Magic Mirror warning cannot be only slightly triggered.
Or is the other party following the carriage from a distance, 50 meters away?
After releasing Mystical Item, the whispers in Angel's ears slowly disappeared, and Glaint's slightly concerned greetings came:
"Miss Irene, what's wrong with you?"
When she came back to her senses, she found that Audrey and Glaint were looking at her with curiosity in their eyes.
"Sorry, my spiritual sense of 'Seer' was a little touched just now." She found that she could now pull out similar Lies at will without blushing. "It seems that someone is following us."
"What!"
The one who had the biggest reaction was the only male in the carriage, Viscount Glaint. His cheeks, which had gradually returned to rosy after coming out of that weird classroom, instantly turned pale.
He opened the curtain of the car window and looked out. After a moment, he retracted his head and said, "I didn't notice it. No, there are many carriages outside. I'm not sure if anyone is following us."
Audrey was relatively calm. I don't know if it was Beyonder's special nature or her nature. She also looked out and then looked at Angel: "Miss Irene, can you determine the location of the stalker?"
"Sorry, I can only vaguely feel a hint of malice, but it's not strong. The other party probably has no intention of doing anything, and may just want to follow us to our residence."
Angel answered honestly.
"But we didn't stand out at the party. We only bought 300 pounds of stuff and didn't bid with anyone else. How could we be targeted?"
Viscount Your Excellency, 300 pounds is already a lot. The poor East Borough may even kill themselves for 3 pounds...
Angel did not say these words, but looked at the calm Audrey, who frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said:
"I have been to this party twice, and there was no trace of us being followed, and the organizer of the party fully considered the possibility of being followed, and everyone left through different exits... Unless the organizer himself sent his subordinates to follow us, this would be easy for him.
"Xio and Fors were present at the first two gatherings, and no tracers were found. This time we also took a cheap unmarked carriage. As Glaint said, a transaction of 300 pounds will not cause others to covet it. Could it be..."
Angel's heart was in suspense.
When Xio and Fors followed Audrey to a party, no one followed them. But when I went with her, I attracted followers. Could it be that she thought there was something wrong with me...
Fortunately, Audrey did not think about it in this direction, but looked at Glaint:
"Glaint, I think the other party is still coming for me, or the 'daughter of the Earl Hall'. After we change carriages later, we will return to your mansion according to the original route. I will change to the Hall Family's carriage and leave."
"Don't you need to notify Hibbert? My house has a telegraph installed. Wouldn't it be better for you to wait at my house first and let him send someone to pick you up?"
The Viscount was still a little worried and kept looking out the window as he replied.
"It's not necessary. If the other party is really planning to kidnap me, Northern Suburbs was a better place just now. And if he just wants to follow me, there is no point in sending more people. Well, but you are right, I can wait for a while at your house first, and maybe the other party will be able to retreat."
Audrey said with a confident smile.
Looking at her shining green eyes, Angel always felt that this "Spectator" seemed to have some plan.
Pretending not to notice the pursuer's carriage, they continued on as usual. After North Borough circled twice, the group of people changed to another carriage and returned to Empress Borough's Viscount Glaint mansion.
Angel left from the side door under the arrangement of Audrey. She politely refused the Viscount's offer to send her a carriage and walked a few hundred meters. Then she used Witch's invisibility ability to disappear in a deserted corner and returned the same way.
She waited at the door of the Viscount's house for about half an hour. A carriage bearing the Earl Hall family crest drove out of the main entrance and left slowly.
Using her "Crimson Eyes", she saw the bright red figure of Audrey in the carriage, as well as her extraordinary dog.
A minute later, another carriage with a nondescript appearance came from the other end of the street, made a detour inadvertently, and followed Audrey away from a distance.
It looks like it's him... With such a long distance, no wonder I couldn't find the stalker with the Crimson Eye before.
Angel left quietly after confirming the stalker.
She agreed with Audrey's view. If the other party had some malicious intent, he should have taken action as early as North Borough's outskirts. He was probably just trying to confirm Audrey's identity.
Is it really a problem with "Spectator" Potion? On Tarot Club, Hanged Man once shared information about a secret organization called "Psychology Alchemists", and they control "Spectator" Potion of Pathway likes to hide in the city and secretly influence the decisions of the upper levels through his own Beyonder Ability, making them develop in a direction that is beneficial to him.
This can be regarded as some kind of "entry examination" for them, and Audrey, who has already become "Spectator", is planning to take this opportunity to sneak into Psychology Alchemists and seek the follow-up Potion?
"Is the divination accurate?"
In Sevillea Landon's mansion, Angel and Demoness of Pleasure were sitting in the brightly lit living room, sharing the information obtained during the day.
"Yes, they are plotting against a lady named Mary Gail, who is also a member of Atmospheric Pollution Investigation Committee..."
Angel told Sevillea the information he learned from the divination in the Hall Family's luxurious villa. The latter frowned in thought and even forgot to eat the cakes he was holding.
However, the pastries and tea here are indeed not as good as those at Audrey's. The black tea she prepares for entertaining guests seems to be called "Queen Black Tea", which sounds not cheap...
She was comparing the financial gap between "Earl" and "Baron". Sevillea had come to her senses and continued to ask:
"What do you think? These nobles are rushing to join the investigative committee with the purpose of disintegrating and dividing them internally and eliminating the threat?"
"I thought so at first, but changed my mind after talking to Viscount Glaint."
Angel considered her words and answered carefully. She knew that her conclusion was likely to affect the follow-up actions of this Demoness, or even the Demoness Sect behind her.
"Glaint and Hibbert Hall seem to really want to join the committee and do something meaningful for Backlund, and even Loen Kingdom as a whole. Moreover, Earl Hall's eldest son had to deal with an ordinary woman, so there was no need to spend much effort in plotting."
"Hmph, I think this is in line with the approach of nobles like them. They want to solve certain stumbling blocks, but they don't want to get their hands dirty. "Sevillea said with a sneer, "Glaint inherited his father's mine and factory, so he should naturally stand on the opposite side of Atmospheric Pollution Investigation Committee. This is especially true for the Earl Hall family. Although Earl is top-notch He is a banker, but he also has many industries. Conston Coal and Steel Consortium's business is spread throughout the North Continent. There are even rumors that he has already controlled a large share of the kingdom's mines. If the relevant bill is implemented, his industry losses will be huge. There are sufficient reasons to hinder the establishment and implementation of the bill."
Angel shook her head. She originally had only a vague idea in her mind, but during the conversation with Sevillea, she gradually figured it out and understood what Hibbert was going to do.
"Don't other factories suffer huge losses? After the committee's investigation report is released, it will inevitably push the Kingdom to formulate stricter standards to regulate the emission of wastewater and smoke, and require factories to upgrade equipment and improve processes. Every relevant factory will have the same difficulties.
"As committee members, you can understand these standards in advance, prepare responses in advance, and meet the requirements. Then you can use the bill to squeeze your opponents and gain greater advantages. They can bear these losses, but their opponents may not."
She thought of a saying from her previous life: first-class companies set standards, and only second-class companies build brands.
"Then they deal with the members of the committee, is it because..."
Sevillea Halfway through, his eyes lit up and he seemed to have thought of the truth behind it.
"Yes, they should have chosen Ms. Mary as a 'target' in order to build momentum for the committee. Maybe it was a threatening letter, maybe it was a lame, failed attack. Then the committee will come forward to expose all this and condemn those who 'obstructed the work of the committee,' attracting public attention, inciting public anger, and promoting subsequent investigations and the introduction of relevant bills."
Angel concluded.
This is her "Instigator" instinct, and it is also consistent with divination and her own conclusion about the image of Glaint and Hibbert Hall who he said was "enthusiastic about the investigation committee."
