54. Lock and jettison

Barton said:

"We have nothing to do with the money in Alec's hands. We need to destroy his capital chain."

Albina said:

"Wright? Impossible. He is our partner now, and I can't do anything to him."

And she is not a cruel and bloodthirsty person. As far as she knows, Wright is also a philanthropist. If it is not absolutely necessary, she does not want to do anything to Wright.

Barton said:

"I didn't say I wanted to kill him. Isn't he cooperating with you? Can't you cut off his capital chain?"

Albina chuckled:

"Cut off his capital chain? His money from cooperation with us will not affect his property at all."

Barton frowned:

"Are you sure? I know he made a deal with George. It can't be a small amount of money."

Albina explains:

"The real deal he made with George was not about money at all. Even I had no chance to know what happened."

When Hewen heard this, it seemed that her status in the Knights was not low, but as far as Hewen knew, there was no such figure in the Knights.

Barton said:

"Then this is a bit troublesome. We must find a way to prevent Wright from giving Alec financial support. Although Alec seemed very wary of the deal with Wright after he came back, I don't know what he paid.

, but we cannot rule out this possibility."

Albina said:

"What can you do?"

Barton thought briefly:

"I will send someone to collect information. Come back the day after tomorrow and I will discuss it with you."

Albina agreed:

"Okay, but what can I get? You must know that you are not my original partner."

Barton gritted his teeth:

"Don't they want power? After we build a church in Wharton, we will help the two of them establish a party in the parliament, but whether they can become the speaker depends on themselves."

Albina asked happily:

"Can you really do it?"

Barton said:

"If I can't, you can stop cooperating at any time. I will report to the superiors in the next two days. When you come the day after tomorrow, I will be able to produce tangible evidence."

Albina smiled:

"Okay, it's settled."

If she could get in touch with the people behind Barton, then their years of sacrifice and hard work would be worth it, and she could also...

The two ended their conversation, Barton walked towards the chapel, and Albina left from the back door of the church as usual.

Hevin didn't think long before he followed Albina.

She left the church and walked skillfully through the paths, avoiding the main roads where carriages traveled and the crowded streets.

Then she quickly got into a dilapidated house while there was no one around, and Hewen followed her in.

The small house only has one bed, two types of tables, and a few shelves. Although it has been disguised as much as possible, it still seems a little less popular.

Albina raised the wooden bed with one hand, and there was a silver-white standard armor inside.

She put the entire suit of armor on her body in a few clicks, including the nearly airtight helmet.

Hevin had already guessed where Albina was going next.

Sure enough, after Albina left the house, she walked straight in the direction of the Pure White Tower.

George was still in the White Tower, and Heven followed her until she was one block away from the Knight Tower and stopped.

It seems that the person behind Albina should be in the White Tower. Adams has been in the Knight Camp all year round, so the traitor is most likely Mayo.

Moreover, Albina should have a very close relationship with Mayo. Even the most core secret of the Knights, Mayo would share with her and be able to negotiate with the church on his behalf. However, he was deeply trusted in both loyalty and ability.

So now it's time to go back, Ha La is still waiting for him to eat.

Hevin turned around.

Then he came from the street to the front door of the house.

He covered the left side of his chest. The time overlap syndrome had spread again. He had to speed up. If it didn't work, he could only try to rob it.

He opened the door and walked into the house.

The girl who was lying on the sofa reading a book immediately stood up and rushed to him as soon as she heard the door open.

Before Hewen opened his mouth, Ha La was keenly aware of something.

The girl asked:

"Hevin, Hevin, what happened?"

Hewen waved his hand:

"It's just some small things. Is Tanya ready to cook?"

Hearing what Hewen said, Ha La obediently didn’t ask any more questions:

"Well, sister Tanya has already done it."

Although Tanya has worked in various places, her cooking skills are only average and she can make good things, but that's all.

You know, other rich people have professional chefs, and they can cook both exotic and local delicacies at their fingertips.

Fortunately, Hewen doesn't have high requirements for food either.

The girl took out a plate from the kitchen and placed it on the dining table, wiping the sweat from her forehead.

Today's dinner is quite sumptuous, including vegetable stew, white bread, steak, roast lamb shank, and fried eggs.

And store-bought chocolate cake, this is Halla's dessert, she doesn't care about gaining weight or health problems.

Tanya also sat down.

This was something that made the girl extremely grateful. Hevin allowed her to eat with them, and it was the same food.

According to Hewen's request, she always bought the same portion for herself as the two of them, but she would not finish it all, but would take some back to her sister every night.

But one thing she didn't know was that Hevin had been using magic to influence her, and her will was now so strong that she was immune to most abilities that affected her mind.

Including Hala's passive temptation, the girl's temptation is not purely based on interfering with other people's brains, but by changing the appearance that others like the most, least wants to hurt, or is easiest to fall in love with, as well as making various expressions and small movements.

Only when using the deformation ability, Hora's temptation will be activated to the maximum extent. When not deforming, the ability is not too strong.

While working hard to stuff the bone-in roasted lamb leg into her small mouth, Holland muttered:

"Wright, Tanya's sister is studying. What is studying?"

Hevin cut the steak with a knife:

"Studying means going to a place to learn various knowledge together, and there will be teachers there to teach them."

Ha La raised her hands excitedly and said:

"I know the teacher. The protagonist in the novel has a great teacher. Can the teacher in the school also teach me swordsmanship?"

Hewen said:

"Universities do have such courses, but schools mainly need to teach theoretical knowledge, such as mathematics, history, chemistry, philosophy, and emerging psychology, etc."

The little girl’s eyes shined:

"Wow, there are so many things."

Ha La turned to look at Tanya:

"Is class fun?"

Tanya looked envious:

"Many people think that classes and studying are boring, but I have always wanted to study, but I don't have this opportunity."

After saying that, Tanya smiled softly.

Hala asked:

"Sister Tanya, isn't your sister studying? Why don't you go?"

Tanya explained patiently:

"Studying costs money. Our relief fund is not enough for two people to study. And if I don't work, even one person may not be able to study."

Having said this, Tanya smiled gently:

"Miss Alice, you may not know that I actually went to elementary school, but my parents abandoned us when I was very young, leaving only the two of us."

Hal stopped talking, but jumped off the chair, walked to Tanya, and hugged her silently.

Ha La said softly:

"Sister, I know it must feel terrible to be left behind. If it weren't for Wright, I would have been left behind too."

Tanya didn't expect that Ha La, who was regarded as the eldest lady by outsiders, would say such a thing, and she even looked at Hewen with a little more admiration.
