The truth behind the scenes is always disappointing most of the time.

This time is no exception.

Roderick held back a sigh.

He didn’t expect anything from his grandfather for a long time, but when he learned more facts, it was still depressing.

All this has always been too rapid and too much, Roderick does not have enough time to organize his thoughts, he can only passively and constantly accept these so-called facts.

“…… Are there any other discoveries in the safe?

Roderick shook his head sharply twice.

He can’t continue to decline.

He already knew what kind of person his grandfather was, and he should no longer have any extra extravagance for people who had died.

“There are a lot of discoveries, such as what title deeds, contracts, certificates, but none of this should matter.”

Annan beckoned Roderick over to look at the contents hidden in the safe in the wall.

Roderick hurried to the dark compartment of the wall.

The safe in the compartment is not large, it is not full of things, and most of it is paper documents.

“Aside from that photo, this should be the one that was found.”

Annan pulled out a map.

This is a local map of Kedaks City.

“It’s just a normal map, but, you see, these markings on the map.”

Roderick took the map and saw the many cross-marks on the map, probably more than forty, spread out in different parts of the city.

“These marks … These places…”

“Yes, these places look very problematic.”

Annan pointed to two markings. “First here, this is

supposed to be the church in the ghetto where we went, then here, if yes, the butcher shop where we were before, and then look here, here, yes, this is where we are now, this mansion.”

“It won’t be… Do these marks represent…”

Roderick gasped.

“If these places are all related, then most likely…”

“Dark magic rituals, it should be like this.”

Annan held his chin in thought.

“The church in the slum, if there is no accident, there should be a lot of deaths, that is, we don’t have time to investigate, but it should be like this, the big house we are in now, but there are really many corpses.”

“What if… These marks represent the rituals of the Dark Arts…”

Roderick couldn’t imagine what the field would be like for these marks.

“Could it be that the disappeared neighborhood that Antonio saw was because of this black magic ritual…”

“Perhaps, I’ve always wondered that such powerful black magic, and it is an unheard of black magic that directly pulls reality into the inner world, cannot be simply used.

However, if everything is premeditated and everything is prepared, then it is barely reasonable.

Annan had seen the magic called “Fall of Yakhon” with his own eyes, and he had always had many questions about this black magic that felt very outrageous.

Mainly because the power of this black magic is too powerful, and it is still launched in the inner world, but it can affect reality, which is unreasonable to the extreme. There are too many

contradictions between this black magic and the magical knowledge he has studied, and even if he now has a map of this suspected node site of the black magic ritual, there are still too many things that are difficult to explain.

“Antonio, what are you going to do with this map?”

“This map…”

Roderick was silent for a moment, then folded the marked map of the city.

“This thing cannot be kept, this thing must be destroyed immediately now, so that no one else can see it.”

“Also, if the White Knight really finds a reason to come to our side to check, then we can’t argue.”

Annan agreed with the idea.

Anyway, the two of them had seen this map, and they could barely remember the location of the markers, even if they destroyed it.

Roderick immediately set about destroying the map.

He found a lighter in the room and then lit the map, burning it to ashes.

This map is just an ordinary paper item, without any special protection, and it is simply destroyed by the flames.

After this, Annan and Roderick continued to search the master apartment, but unfortunately found no more.

The two began to discuss what to do next.

“No more discoveries, Roderick, what are we going to do after that?”

“The corpses in the basement can’t be kept, but it’s hard to dispose of now…”

Roderick looked back at the large number of papers on his desk.

These papers may seem ordinary, but they are actually the crystallization of the wealth of the Narez family, as long as these documents can be secured and a group of qualified lawyers can be found, Roderick can inherit the entire family’s property safely and unimpeded.

Of course, this aspect refers to officially recognized official property, and those things that are not necessarily shiny about gangs can always be written on paper.

“Now this situation, I don’t know if I can hide it from the white knights, I’m worried that those white knights will still come to the door…”

“Then let’s turn against the guest.”

Annan voiced his thoughts.

“Before the White Knights come to us, let’s find them, and we need to take the lead and avoid them investigating places that shouldn’t be investigated.”

“This… Annan, elaborate on your thoughts.

Roderick, the vampire, wanted to avoid meeting the White Knight, but he also knew that he would probably not be able to avoid dealing with these tricky objects later, and he was in a dilemma.

Now no matter how outrageous the opinion is, it is necessary to listen to it as a living horse doctor.

“Well, we, or you, can do this and so…”

Annan spoke carefully about his proposal with interest.

Roderick, who listened to this companion’s thoughts, his brows furrowed tightly.

Annan’s idea is very risky, almost equivalent to luring wolves into the house, and it is extremely risky.

However, if done well, it can also avoid developing into the worst-case scenario.

“This is really, a daring gamble…”

Roderick was a little moved, but he couldn’t make up his mind right away.

What’s more, even if he insisted on doing so, he had to consider another collaborator, that is, Veronica. Buck’s thoughts.

“I can’t make my own decisions, I’m going to talk to Miss Barker and them… If they agree…”

Roderick glanced at Annan.

The teenager smiled as if he thought things were funny.

I don’t know if this person has the consciousness that he is smiling.

“It seems that there are no other discoveries here, anyway, let’s discuss with Miss Barker what to do next.”
