◈ Episode 260 Greed Meeting (1)
The generals who had gathered at the sudden appearance of an uninvited guest rolled their eyes and looked at the blood in their eyes.
The personnel waiting outside, as well as the escorts, all died.
The person who created all this horror was sitting in his seat and staring at us with a sharp gaze.
The emotions contained in that gaze were hard to fathom even for those who survived doing politics.
“You must be wondering why I came here.”
At those words, all the generals flinched.
Seeing that his subordinates, who had been fine until just a moment ago, were killed in an instant, their eyes toward Rudger were full of fear.
Rudger stared at the lieutenant general of the ghetto sitting on one side, watching the old men united by greed.
“Did you receive my present?”
“what?”
“I gave the factory a small gift, but they ran away without receiving it.”
The ghetto lieutenant general, who was about to ask what he was talking about, gritted his teeth as he recalled the factory explosion that took place during the day.
“You bastard, what did you do?”
“From now on, it’s better to make sure you’re prepared for magic. Of course, if there’s a next time.”
“What is your purpose? What do you want from me?”
The ghetto lieutenant general asked with a trembling chin. It was because they couldn’t understand why a person with this level of skill would touch them.
“Are you going to become a pawn of the empire?”
“A minion? You sound unpleasant. Do you think I’m the kind of person who would be a minion for those guys?”
“If it’s not black ops, why the hell are you doing this to us?”
It’s like you didn’t understand. Rather, Rudger asked at the ghetto’s question.
“That’s what I want to ask. Why did you guys do this?”
“what?”
“Abducting people, using them as test subjects, capturing and enslaving sub-species, and making secret weapons to prepare for war.”
As the things they had been doing in secret flowed out of Ludger’s mouth one by one, the faces of the people gathered at the table turned cold.
This man came because he knew what they were all doing.
And the fact that the top-secret projects they were working on recently were ruined one by one. It was all because of this man.
“Hey, hey!”
The ghetto lieutenant general’s head was filled with heat.
It was unbearable that the cause he so longed for had ended because of just one person.
But I had to be patient.
Because it was Ludger who took the initiative in this position.
Is it just leadership?
Aren’t you holding on to their name strings?
“Why?”
The ghetto lieutenant general twitched his lips and glared at Rudger as he spoke.
“Because that is our cause. To restore the greatness of a weakened motherland. To teach a kingdom that is slowly declining to learn the rules of iron, and to teach a lesson from those rotten pigs.”
“A rotten pig?”
“Yes. Right now, the Delica royal family is really just peace-loving idiots. Peace, freedom, equality. It’s all bullshit. Do you want us to listen to that?”
The ghetto lieutenant general vomited out all the dissatisfaction he had stored in his heart.
Delica Kingdom, a country of steel, has developed prosperously enough to be called the country of steel in the past.
It was the Delica Kingdom, which had grown into a prosperous country by wagering wars and expanding colonies, but it was slowly falling into disrepair after peace came.
“Our steel should never rust. But look at it now. It rusts so badly that it’s corroded. So I’m thinking of replacing it with steel that never rusts.”
“Did you kill people for that?”
“What does it matter how many people die, like sub-species slaves?”
“Didn’t the people of the country also use it as a test subject?”
“They don’t have the right to vote, and they’re useless to society anyway. Considering that what this country needs is a superior gene, you can say we’ve weeded them out rather well.”
From advocacy of war to eugenicism. Lieutenant General Ghetto was genuinely proud of his opinion.
Rudger closed his eyes the moment he heard those words. The ghetto lieutenant general looked at him and asked.
“You look quite capable. The ability to defeat an escort in an instant. You must be an extraordinary person. How about it. Joining hands with us.”
The ghetto lieutenant general was saying, “I recognized you.”
In this situation where he didn’t know when he would die, he sincerely thought so.
They said that everything they did was really a great cause for the country. All of this was an act of great cause.
The same was true of the generals who had been listening to it.
Rudger looked at it and opened his mouth.
“I know that the people gathered here are not over 70, no matter how old they are.”
The generals stared at Ludger with anxious eyes at the sudden appearance of the age story.
“But in reality the war ended more than 100 years ago. No one in this room has ever been through a war.”
“What’s wrong with that?”
“Isn’t it strange? That those born in an era of peace cry out for war.”
“what?”
“At first I was angry. I was angry at the people who did all this. But then I became curious.”
Rudger surveyed the faces of the people gathered at the table with narrow eyes.
“Why did these people do such a thing? Why are they so proud of themselves instead of feeling ashamed after committing such evil deeds?
However, the moment they had a face-to-face conversation like this, Rudger realized.
There was no such worry.
Even the complex circumstances, the great mission to achieve something, and even the burning feeling of revenge.
there was none

There was only ignorance and egotism.
Rudger remembered the people who had perished under the desires of a few.
I remembered the dreams that had disappeared there.
“I’m not angry anymore. I’m just disgusted.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“It is said that you are trash with no room for regeneration.”
When Ludger showed his momentum, Lieutenant General Ghetto eventually couldn’t stand it and spurred his seat.
He drew a pistol from his waistband and pointed it at Rudger.
“Then die!”
A special pistol given only to generals.
It had little practicality and was nothing more than a flashy appearance, but it was an object that fulfilled its role as a gun.
But, of course, against the magic book, this gun was powerless.
As long as the opponent isn’t an idiot, he’ll be preparing for the silence of fire.
That’s why Lieutenant General Ghetto was even more certain.
I can kill him with this blow now.
‘As long as this gunpowder is unaffected by the silence of fire!’
It would not be unreasonable to pierce a hole between the eyebrows of an unwary opponent.
clap.
But when I pulled the trigger, the bullet did not come out.
“What, what?”
It was only then that Lieutenant General Ghetto realized something strange.
The gun that was supposed to be pointed at Rudger was gone.
with one of his wrists.
The ghetto lieutenant general screamed at the belatedly gushing blood and pain.
“Quaaaagh! My, my hand!”
“They used interesting gunpowder.”
Rudger lightly swung the sword stick in his hand, brushing off the blood that was on it.
When Rudger reached out, the hand of the ghetto lieutenant general, who had fallen on the table holding a pistol, floated up and flew towards him.
Rudger immediately removed his hand and held out his handgun.
A revolver plated in brilliant gold.
The cylinder contained six bullets.
All were bullets filled with special gunpowder.
“It’s gunpowder that is not affected by the silence of fire. It’s really interesting.”
“Turn it off. What, how the hell…”
“How did you know? Did you think I wouldn’t have checked that when I blew up the factory?”
The ghetto lieutenant general’s complexion turned pale.
It’s not like it’s not, but the blood escaped from the cut section in real time, and he was about to die from excessive blood loss.
Rudger sneered at the sight of the ghetto lieutenant general staring intently at this direction.
“There are six people gathered at the table.”
And just in time, there were 6 bullets in the cylinder.
“The numbers match so well.”
“sleep……!”
Taang!
There was a hole between the ghetto lieutenant general’s forehead as he was about to shout something. The other generals who saw the scene screamed.
Someone asking for help, Haram looking for an escort asking if anyone is there, and someone trying to run away.
No one admitted their guilt, and Ludger gave each one a bullet.
A total of 6 shots were fired.
***
Delica Kingdom was in an uproar. The serial disappearance case and the heterogeneous slave case.
In addition, a famous university dean was murdered by a professor.
Not only that, but reporters were busy pulling out articles on scoops pouring in every day, but this time it was much bigger.
The extermination of military hardliners who advocate war.
Six generals with stars were killed at once. along with the escorts who guarded them. It brought a big wave to the Delica Kingdom.
No one knows why they died. However, rumors spread openly about who killed him. Professor James Moriarty.
It is said that he, who was suspected of murdering Dean Gordes Himbel, also killed generals.
In fact, it is said that Professor James Moriarty knew how to use magic and hid his identity.
And the definite answer was clearly imprinted in people’s minds through Casey Selmore.
The detective of the century pointed him out as the culprit, so it couldn’t be wrong.
People talked about James Moriarty every day.
For his cruelty, for his cunning, for every crime he was about to commit, he feared as if it were already happening.
Reporters did not miss this irritating prey.
They soon wrote an article saying that James Moriarty had a hand in all the petty crimes happening all over the Delica Kingdom.
It didn’t matter if it was true or false.
The important thing is that people saw it and believed it to be real.
-James Moriarty is trying to overthrow the Delica Kingdom.
-Professor James Moriarty tried to start a war.
-He conducted a secret experiment.
-The robbery and murder that takes place in the city is also the instigation of James Moriarty.
Even small rumors swelled like bubbles.
Miscellaneous incidents committed by criminals also spurred rumors to inflate.
-We are James Moriarty’s subordinates too!
It was a bluff that idiots who wanted to become big players shouted out of vain winds, but it was a fan at the bad mood in the middle of the day.
James Moriarty ended up becoming the godfather of the criminal world who controls all crimes in the kingdom of Delica.
No longer a professor, but a crime consultant, James Moriarty.
The Kingdom of Delica declared that they could not leave it like this and would definitely capture James Moriarty.
Rather, there were those who condemned James Moriarty’s evil deeds with all their heart and soul and tried to express their own goodness.
They were indirectly related to the project of the pro-war advocates led by the ghetto lieutenant general.
Realizing that James Moriarty was actually only killing people involved in this, they hid themselves, somehow claiming that they had nothing to do with it.
Of course, most of them ended up being captured.
By detective Casey Selmore, not James Moriarty.
Police rushed in in an instant and captured several researchers alive.
They shouted that they were not guilty, but it was an excuse that would not work for Casey, who had already come based on solid evidence.
In this way, a large-scale cleaning was carried out throughout the Delica Kingdom.
“Haa, I’m tired.”
Casey Selmore sighed as she sat in a chair in the ornate room.
‘I can’t believe the problem is so prevalent.’
James Moriarty carried out horrific and inhumane experiments within the kingdom of Delica.
Anyone involved with it was arrested.
This is because among them, there were also some government officials and high-ranking police officers.
All these people had anything to do with James Moriarty.
I couldn’t believe it even when I saw it with my own eyes.
However, James Moriarty, who can be said to be the core, has yet to show off his nose.
‘But I got my way.’
Casey Selmore had a hunch that James Moriarty was after someone.
The six generals who died this time, the dean Gord, and the person who secretly had contact with those people.
‘James Moriarty’s evil deeds are undeniable. But I’m sure he’s hiding something from the people he kills.’
The secret passage of the factory that was burned immediately was like that.
Looking at the scale, it seems that it was prepared quite a long time ago, but can one individual do it?
‘Tonight, I will break the chain of all these crimes.’
Casey Selmore rose from her seat.
Unlike her usual detective outfit, her water-colored dress fluttered in sync with her movements.
Where Casey Selmore is now is not a crime scene.
Rather, it was a place she would not want to come if it was her usual.
When I opened the door wide and went inside, I saw a group of people gathered under an ornate chandelier.
A banquet hall for nobles.
Casey Selmore thought. Today, here, James Moriarty will definitely come.
