Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Sowing Discord

Listening to Orbins’ description, Anvis also roughly understood what they had encountered.

Orbins had taken a liking to an item at an auction house in the Royal Capital, but during the auction, a guest in a VIP box also took interest in the same item.

Normally, the financial resources of the brother and sister duo, Orbins, were absolutely insufficient to compete with a VIP.

But at the end of the bidding, the person in the box gave up on raising the price, and the item was won by Orbins and Shirley.

At first, the siblings thought the matter was over, but after they left the Royal Capital, they suddenly faced an attack by a Fourth Rank Professional.

Orbins never expected that while they both wore Pamir Academy uniforms, someone would dare to openly attempt to assassinate them near the Royal Capital!

The attacker concealed their identity, and instantly used a very powerful Spiritual Attack, clearly with the intention of killing them to silence them.

If it hadn’t been for the relic they had obtained by chance before, that attack would have been enough to kill them three times over!

At the critical moment, Shirley stepped forward, blocking most of the impact for Orbins. However, her own Spirit Sea was nearly shattered under the spiritual assault, leaving her in a near-death state.

Barely blocking the attack, Orbins used the brief time Shirley had bought to escape using a Random Teleportation Scroll.

And, using a route provided by Anvis, urgently sought help from the Olivendi Family’s power in the Royal Capital.

"...That’s how things happened!"

"Also, Anvis, I have a request—"

After briefly recounting the incident, Orbins couldn’t help but speak in a hoarse voice, his blue eyes bloodshot as he looked at Anvis. Even though his tone had calmed down, it still filled with an unresolved chill.

"I hope to understand the specific origins and identity of the Professional who attacked me and Shirley."

"I can—"

Anvis nodded slightly, agreeing to his request.

"I will use the power of my family to investigate this matter. Once the investigation results are available, I will send you a report immediately."

After listening to Orbins’ story, Anvis felt somewhat emotional about the deep bond between the siblings.

With Anvis’s promise, Orbins didn’t say much else.

He stood up once again, solemnly bowing deeply to Anvis.

After leaving Shirley’s hospital room, Anvis informed the family forces in the Royal Capital to start a thorough investigation of the incident.

Although the Olivendi Family’s power mainly concentrated in the northwestern part of the Gloria Empire.

Being one of the Four Great Families of Gloria, even if their influence in the Royal Capital was relatively ’weak’, it was certainly not to be underestimated by any force other than the Royal Family and the other three Great Families.

In just half a day, the cause, course, and identity of the behind-the-scenes participants of the incident were completely laid out on Anvis’s desk.

The identity of the guest in the VIP box that day was the twelfth son of Earl Ilkan of the Royal Capital, Rajos Ilkan.

His mother was a concubine of Earl Ilkan, and even though she was greatly favored by the Earl, Rajos was ultimately disconnected from the family business due to her status.

Perhaps out of a sense of guilt and compensation, the Earl had been especially lenient towards Rajos since childhood.

Because of the Family Head’s attitude, no one else in the family dared to manage him, which resulted in cultivating a character of a spoiled second-generation rich kid.

Even though he was not a candidate for inheritance, Rajos, leveraging his family background, had a strong presence among the circle of noble descendants in the Royal Capital.

Over time, he had even gained a reputation as the dominant figure in the Royal Capital.

For safety reasons, the Earl assigned two Fourth Rank Guards as Rajos’s protectors to ensure he did not encounter any trouble while indulging in the pleasures of the Royal Capital.

The Professional from the Olivendi Family responsible for investigating this matter found that the identity of the person who attacked the siblings, Orbins and Shirley, was one of those two guards.

Upon receiving this news, the family’s intelligence agency secretly set out to locate that guard.

However, unexpectedly, that Professional seemed not to have returned to Rajos’s side thereafter.

The family’s investigator tried to use Prophecy Magic to ascertain the specific whereabouts of that guard, but the Prophecy Skill indicated that the target was already dead.

If it were an ordinary force, the investigation would have halted here and concluded that the mastermind was the Ilkan Family.

But for the Olivendi Family, this was not yet the end.

A High Rank Prophet of the family took action, reversing the prophecy regarding the target’s death to find out the specific cause of death.

The result of the prophecy was astonishing—the guard was actually a third party’s man and had been silenced after completing his task!

Despite Rajos’s spoiled nature, he wouldn’t go so far as to cruelly send someone to openly attack two Pamir Academy students in the Empire Capital for this cause.

He merely wanted the guard to give the siblings a warning, not to eliminate them both.

Yet, the guard he sent didn’t follow his instructions and instead tried to induce conflict between the Ilkan Family and other forces through the deliberate attack on the siblings, Orbins and Shirley.

Owing to their wearing the Pamir Academy uniforms, some people directly targeted them.

You must realize, that’s the Pamir Academy, a gathering place for the descendants of the elite class of the Empire!

There, throwing a stone skyward could likely come down hitting an heir to an Earl’s title.

Flick it again, and you might just hit a future High Rank powerhouse or key official of the Empire!

Therefore, the attacker did not need to scrutinize identities; since on the surface, the assassin was a ’guard from the Ilkan Family’, it was nothing more than a random draw.

If by chance they assassinated a descendant of a major noble, especially given the assassin’s mysterious death, the blame would likely be firmly pinned on the Ilkan Family.

If the investigating force had not been the Olivendi Family, and if more time had passed, even with a High Rank Prophet’s intervention, it would have been virtually impossible to glimpse the truth behind it.

Upon learning this unexpectedly significant information, the Prophet was immediately prepared to delve into the identity of this force with a detailed prophecy.

However, this time, as soon as the Prophecy Skill was cast, it encountered interference.

Behind this unknown force, there was a Prophet of the same level acting to disrupt the threads of fate related to them—

Upon hearing this news, the family Prophet immediately halted the prophecy and conveyed this result to Anvis, inquiring whether to continue further.

A mysterious force, equally possessing a High Rank Prophet, had already earned a degree of acknowledgment from Anvis.

Out of caution, Anvis instructed the family prophet to temporarily halt the investigation on this matter.

And he handed over the findings to be archived to the higher ranks of the family, leaving the decision whether to continue to them.

For him, this investigation had gone far enough.
