"What? Sirs, what are you doing? Why are you here?" Clent struggled to sit up, staring blankly at the four people in front of him, but still instinctively used respectful language.
"How dare you ask us? I want to ask you, why was the information about the park leaked?" The Silver Spear, played by Alan, questioned Clent in a familiar voice. "Did you betray us?"
When Clent heard the voice, his heart skipped a beat. Isn't that the voice of Golden Knight? Did he personally co to the park? What did he an by betrayal? And why am I lying on the ground now? This isn't even my office. Hearing Golden Knight's familiar voice, Clent had no doubts and quickly asked, "What do you an by that? I don't understand. What betrayal? I have never thought of betraying the club!"
"Then why is it rumored that the club secretly operates a breeding park? Now even the location of No. 1 Park has been revealed, and all the matters of those civilian groups have also been exposed!" Alan pressed him angrily. "Do you know that Andre and his subordinates are ready to attack this place!"
"What?" Clent looked at Alan in shock. "How is that possible? I've never heard any rumors like that!"
"Still arguing with ! My insider in the Departnt of Magical Law Enforcent has told everything. Andre is already organizing people to attack this park. If I hadn't reacted in ti, this place would have been cleared out long ago. Besides you, who frequently cos and goes, who else could have leaked the information?" Alan wasn't sure if the Silver Springs had an insider in the Departnt of Magical Law Enforcent, but he asked himself, if he were Peter, he would definitely plant soone around Andre, so now he was prepared to bluff whether there was one or not.
"You an Virgil? No way, did he make a mistake?" Clent asked without questioning, blurting it out.
And just as Clent said Virgil's na, Andre's heart trembled, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face. Fortunately, he was wearing a mask at the ti, so he didn't give anything away. Alan also noticed Andre's abnormality at this ti, so he glanced at Andre, signaling him to calm down and not alarm Clent. Andre nodded imperceptibly, then forced himself to suppress the shock and anger in his heart. At the sa ti, he also realized the value of interrogating Clent at this mont. If this matter were done later, the consequences might be unimaginable.
However, Clent was in a panic at this ti and did not notice the abnormality of the people in front of him. He truly believed that what the Golden Knight said was true. At this mont, he was desperately trying to recall if he had inadvertently revealed any secrets that allowed outsiders to discover the truth about this place. But after a mont of thought, he was still at a loss, completely unaware of where the problem lay. But now, in his eyes, he had been suspected by Golden Knight, and if this charge of betrayal were confird, he would be truly finished. Clent knew the club's thods.
"Sir, you know that I have always been loyal to the club. I have no need to betray the club at all. I think either Virgil's side made a mistake, or the problem lies elsewhere," Clent argued incoherently.
"No need to betray the club?" Golden Knight snorted coldly. "You've never been allowed to join the club and beco an official Silver Spear. Dare you say you don't hold a grudge? How much benefit did Andre and his people give you to make you turn against us?"
"Absolutely not! Golden Knight!" Clent's mind was instantly thrown into disarray when he saw that the other party had almost concluded that he was a traitor.
To be honest, he also knew that Golden Knight and the other Silver Spears had been dangling him. With his achievents, let alone becoming an ordinary Short Spear, even becoming a Spear directly would not be a problem. The club was simply holding back Clent's promotion because his public identity was too useful. But this did not an that he would choose to betray the club because of it, so Clent argued urgently, "Sir, please be clear, I was personally introduced by you to beco a club collaborator, have you forgotten?"
He knew that the other party was now stubbornly convinced, and Clent, in an extrely agitated state, also played the emotional card. "We have known each other for over thirty years. You should know my character, and over all these years, how many things have I done for the club and for you? If the Departnt of Magical Law Enforcent and Andre knew about these things, I wouldn't have a good end either."
"Do you not think it's too late to talk about the past with now? People say you can know a person's face but not their heart. How do I know you haven't been acting with all these years?" Alan said, then gently raised his hand and took off his mask, revealing the face identical to Peter's underneath.
Clent saw Peter's face under Golden Knight's mask, and there was no surprise in his eyes, only his face turned pale. He knew that this was an expression Peter would only display when he was extrely angry. anwhile, Alia and Andre, among others, saw that Clent had no doubts about Peter's identity, further confirming what Alan had said earlier: Peter was a mber of the Silver Spears, and he had known Clent for a long ti, having personally developed and promoted him.
"Since you keep bringing up the past, I'll give you another chance now." Alan, with Peter's face, said in a low voice, "Let hear you recount everything you've done over the years, and let see if your mory is confused. Rember, look into my eyes when you speak!"
"Yes, sir." Clent knew that Peter wanted to test him for lies, but this was exactly what he wanted, and seeing Peter's true face did not cause any suspicion. In fact, this was also because his mind was completely in disarray at the mont. If Clent could have remained calm and thought rationally, perhaps he would not have been so easily deceived. For example, why would Golden Knight dare to remove his mask in front of the other three Silver Spears, and then so abruptly ask him to recount past events? Everything about it seed abnormal. But all Clent could think of now was to show his loyalty to Golden Knight; he had no ti to consider anything else.
"I still rember, thirty years ago, I was just a small-ti errand boy at Tris Cauldron Shop. I was fortunate enough to et you then. Oh, by the way, you didn't go by this na back then. And ever since I t you, I've had good fortune. It was you who sponsored , allowing to start my own magic supplies business. I will never forget that." Clent's expression was one of piety mixed with gratitude.
However, Alan, as Peter, showed no reaction to his fawning. Seeing this, Clent imdiately continued, "With your help, I earned my first pot of gold, and it was from then on that you started involving in smuggling, introducing to the club. Over all these years, I can't even count how many magical creatures I've transported, guarded, and looked after for the club. If Andre's people knew my background, there would be no possibility of negotiating."
"So, if Andre is willing to overlook your past, you're willing to accept their terms?" Peter sneered, curling his lip, completely unmoved by Clent's emotional appeal.
"No, that's not what I an." Clent, seeing that Peter had misunderstood him, quickly explained, and then continued, "Besides my help in managing magical creatures for the club, just talking about the dirty work I've done for you over the past decade, Andre would absolutely never forgive ." Clent said, then tentatively glanced at Peter, finding that the other party was still unmoved, and imdiately said, "Do you still rember fifteen years ago? That's when you started using the identity of Dario Peter, and it was from then on that you changed this skin to its current appearance."
*This skin?* Alan's heart sank when he heard this. Could it be that Golden Knight, in addition to having the ans to appear in two places at once, also had a way to change his appearance? Could that guy also be a tamorphmagus? However, this hint of doubt had just appeared when he suppressed it. Now was not the ti to dwell on these things. This interrogation required a very high level of acting from him, and he couldn't let Clent see through him.
His indifference did indeed deceive Clent, so he imdiately offered other proofs of loyalty. "Even if you don't care about this at all, from that ti on, you ordered to start contacting civilian groups in East Germany and West Germany, and to try to integrate with and lead them. After so many years of effort, the West German Endeavor Society that I lead, and the Munich Alliance that split from it, have over hundreds of wizards under them, and their core collaborators are close to a hundred people. Have you forgotten? It's by instigating them that we've been able to intensify the conflict between East Germany and West Germany all these years. I actually knew from the beginning that your ideal was to completely divide Germany, and many civilian groups in East Germany are also collaborators of the club."
"Like the East German Progress Union, I know that the Phoenix of the club is in contact with them, and it was she who incited and manipulated an East German wizard to kill the eldest son of the Schmidt family in a public place back then, and then used public opinion to make the East German Progress Union shelter that East German wizard. This is why the Schmidt family and their allied families fully support you and advance and retreat with you in the Wizengamot, further promoting the division bill, isn't it?"
