A Demon's Journey

Even though Shun had proper proof for his suspicions concerning Bianca and her personal maid, he was hesitant to initiate action against them.

Ignoring Bianca's close relationship with Spencer Russel, she was still a descendant of the Lewis Marquis Family.

Moreover, Lewis Marquis Family had gained a lot of influence as they headed the Noble Family Alliance. He couldn't act against Bianca without having Spencer Russel and Lewis Noble Family coming after him.

But after spending some thought on it, Shun decided to risk it. However, he had to do it very intelligently with a full-proof plan.

'What can be her motivation for doing such a thing? I can't imagine any reason she would want to harm the general populace,' Shun thought.

He had investigated Bianca's entire history and found no evidence signifying precarious beliefs. She had lived her life as a model citizen of the Sinyalian Kingdom.

Why would she suddenly change her mind?

However, Shun answered his own question 'Is she supporting her family? Was this idea from someone within the Lewis Family? Are they pressuring her through some method?'

Now that he was aware of the problem, Shun understood he had to be careful not to reveal his presence while probing Bianca. He had to be so discreet that Bianca wouldn't notice he got what he desired.

This was hard but not impossible.

After all, Bianca had no idea about Shun's motives or even the fact that he was investigating this case. This made her situation greatly precarious.

However, Shun only had limited methods to investigate Bianca. Following her wouldn't work since it was a rather perilous method with small gains. In other words, the risks would greatly outweigh the gains.

Thus, Shun decided on something else. He first planned to investigate all her manors and collect evidence against her.

He needed to have a great number of proofs against her in case Bianca sensed his presence and complained to her husband or the Lewis Marquis Family.

If Bianca sensed his presence and complained to either her husband or her Lewis Marquis Family, these proofs would act as a robust shield for Shun. The King would protect Shun at that moment.

However, Shun truly hoped that the situation wouldn't reach such an extent. But it was best to be prepared for all kinds of possibilities.

He spread all his spies and ordered them to search all the manors under Bianca's name.

Unfortunately, they failed to find any clue within these manors. Naturally, they made sure to cover their traces after leaving these manors.

But Shun was slightly surprised that they found nothing in any one of these manors. He now understood that Bianca had always been playing smartly.

Thus, he widened his search range and began to investigate all the manors under her servants' names.

Fortunately, the number of manors that belonged to her servants was fewer compared to Bianca's.

Bianca had a total of 19 Manors and Warehouses in Mesenana City. And her servants only had about 15 Manors and Warehouses combined.

This time, Shun did find something in one of these warehouses. He found traces of large furniture being moved recently. There was still the smell of chemicals in the air.

'This must have been the lab where that terrifying disease was concocted,' He thought rather somberly.

'Everything has been relocated from this place. Was I too late?' Shun thought gravely.

After thinking for a few seconds, his eyes suddenly shone with excitement.

'Yes, this can definitely work!'

'I should contact the servant under whom this location was registered. She is bound to know something. Maybe kidnap her for a couple of days and interrogate her.'

"Investigate the family of the woman under whom this warehouse is registered," Shun ordered his subordinates.

It took his subordinates only a single day to find all the information pertaining to that woman's background.

It seemed as though her family had worked for Bianca's family for multiple generations. Thus, they lived within the Lewis Marquis Family's territory.

'Rather far away. It would take too long to kidnap her family members and then threaten her about it. I need to improvise quickly,' Shun thought.

Soon, he had a solution for this issue.

Shun planned to send Bianca's personal maid a message that she must come near Hyde Plaza for a rather serious talk. Her family would be in danger if she didn't come. She couldn't talk about this to anyone, not even Bianca. She had to request a leave of absence and come to him.

The issue was if Bianca's personal maid still informed Bianca about this message. For that, he added something down below that would become visible after she had read the entire message.

If she dared to inform Bianca about this message, he would kill Sophie!

Shun already knew Sophie's exact location. He would mention that in the message to further threaten Bianca's personal maid.

At that moment, Bianca's personal maid would have no choice but to keep the contents of his message to herself. She had no idea how his spies were observing her.

It was bound to terrify her and prevent her from trying to counter him. If Sophie was harmed by them, she could never face Bianca.

As a loyal Lewis Marquis family subordinate, Sophie's safety would be her top priority!

Shun knew that this was a despicable method, but he didn't care at this point. He was trying to prevent another tragedy that targeted millions of people, so his conscience was clear!

The next day, he put his plan into motion.

He personally placed the message over the bed of Bianca's personal maid. She was bound to find it and read it after noticing that it was addressed to her.

He wrote additional instructions that she had to follow to ensure that Bianca wouldn't get suspicious about her leave of absence!

Fortunately, everything went according to his plan, and she arrived at the mentioned location!

Bianca's personal maid shouted out, "I am here! Now reveal yourself! What do you want from me?!"

In the very next second, the light around her disappeared, and all she saw was darkness.

Someone had covered her eyes and was carrying her to an unknown location!

After what appeared to be half an hour, the eye mask was removed, and she could finally see her current location.

She was startled to see a man sitting on a wooden chair ahead of her, wearing what appeared to be the standard uniform for the Inquisitors! He donned the Fox mask, and she instantly understood that she was in the presence of Inquisitor Fox!

There were five more men near the Inquisitor Fox! They were also wearing masks to conceal their identity, but their dress was rather common. This meant that they weren't Inquisitors!

"What is the meaning behind this, Inquisitor Fox?! Why have you brought me here in such a manner?!" The woman spoke with a hint of fury in her voice.

"You should be aware of why I brought you here, Miss Savannah! This concerns the plaque that your mistress spread in the Sinyalian Kingdom," Shun responded coldly.

Even though Savannah tried to keep her reactions normal, her heartbeat was something she couldn't control.

And at such a close range, Shun could sense her frantic heartbeat as he added, "There is no use lying to me. I will find the truth through hook or crook. I would prefer it if you were honest. Otherwise, I have no choice but to use some rather cruel methods."
