Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

Chapter 55: "Smart Man" Bright

Hearing the name of "Witch Sect", Chogory stood up abruptly, his burly body was quite oppressive, as if he was about to rush out to fight... After calming down, he sat down again, and he replied:

"The 'Witch Sect' is a secret evil organization. Their members believe in evil gods other than the Seven Gods. They are a group of sinners who are always creating chaos and disasters."

"I don't know if William's death has anything to do with them, but it might be a valid clue."

Joyce heard the words with a firm look: "No matter what, I will look for an opportunity to become a Beyonder and investigate this matter to the end."

Chogory stared at him for a few seconds: "The Beyonders are a group of poor creatures who are always in contact with the darkness, child, you can have better choices."

"I've made a decision," Joyce insisted.

Chogory was silent for a while: "The Lord said: Suffering makes one self-improvement."

"Follow your heart's decision, fate will guide your way forward, and the church is your strongest backing."

"The Lord will bless you."

"The storm is on."

Joyce also clenched his fist and hammered his left chest, and said excitedly, "The storm is on."

When leaving, he asked the priest who was leading the way:

"The last time I came to the church, I met a rough-looking man with dark blue hair and a particularly keen eye. Why didn't I see him this time?"

The priest in the robe of the storm kept his pace:

"You mean Alger? He went to sea a while ago."

Sure enough, it was him, Mr. Hanged Man... Joyce confirmed in his heart, "You seem to be familiar with him?"

The priest was silent for two seconds and said, "We are all orphans adopted by the church."

"May the Lord bless you." Joyce comforted, and then put fifty pounds of cash into the offering box.

Today's actions are purely self-initiated and not part of his and Emily's plans.

As the link in the game and the weakest link, Joyce believes that the "triangle" is the most stable structure.

The Church of the Storms has long shown interest in William and herself, and bringing them on the field can not only ensure the success rate of the plan against Ianna, but also prevent a backlash with Emily, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Bishop Chogory stayed in the room, wondering what he was thinking, until a sturdy man in civilian clothes knocked on the door and walked in.

"Your Excellency Chogori, here I come."

"Recently, there are traces of the 'Witch Sect' in Bayam, you go and investigate." Chogory arranged.

The sturdy man accepted the order, and then asked: "How many people from the 'Rose School'?"

"Investigate together, focusing on the 'Witch Sect'."

"Yes, Your Excellency Chogori."

…………

On Saturday night, Joyce attended the dance as scheduled.

He raised Ianna's right hand and kissed it lightly.

"Although I have said it once, I have to say it again: you are the most dazzling woman tonight."

Ianna laughed "haha", this is somewhat similar to Emily, perhaps this is the commonality of "witches", or perhaps it is the tacit understanding between the two who used to be "husbands and wives".

"You haven't seen the other young ladies and ladies at the ball, isn't it unfair to say that?"

Joyce said confidently: "I trust my judgment."

"Then I'll take it seriously!" Ianna said as she walked, "I'll invite you to dance the opening dance together, don't refuse!"

"It's an honor," he said gentlemanly.

Naturally, the dance held by Ianna was not as formal as General Gordon's. The hall was full of joy and laughter.

In addition, there were many officers and generals in various military uniforms among the guests, most of them were unfamiliar faces, but there were also familiar ones... Some officers who had attended General Gordon's dinner... They saw Joyce's eyes in different ways. Some are surprised, some helpless, some meaningful...

Joyce nodded with a smile, ignoring it.

Soon, he naturally found an unexpectedly familiar figure.

Picking up a glass of champagne, he walked up and greeted:

"Major General Bright, we meet again."

Looking at Joyce, whose eyes were lively and smiling, Bright felt that he was mocking him, but thinking of Ianna's advice, he secretly suppressed his anger:

"Baron Best, long time no see. I heard that you were assassinated. You were not injured, right?"

Joyce's smile grew brighter: "Thanks to you, I didn't get hurt."

Then, he put on a sad expression: "It's a pity that Major Diego, we were assassinated on the same day, I was lucky to survive, but unfortunately he didn't have that luck."

He said this on purpose, he knew that Diego was sent by me, and he was provoking me... Bright tried to calm himself down, let go of the wine glass that was almost broken, and forced out an ugly expression:

"Yeah, Diego didn't have such good luck... But MI9 has already found out the reason for the assassination, and it was a killer sent by the rebel army."

Has MI9 closed the case? Joyce's eyes flashed slightly, he did not know the news.

Although he is an aristocrat, in the eyes of the real high-level officials, his status as a baron is not worth much, and naturally he cannot know the confidential information accurately and timely.

Facing my successive provocations, Bright was obviously keeping his emotions down. He was a very irritable general... Sure enough, he was worried about the mysterious person behind him...

This is how good it is to deal with smart people~www.NovelMTL.com~ He will guess the deep meaning behind his arrogance, otherwise, if he encounters a fool, he may just slap him all the time...

After thinking about it, Joyce suddenly realized:

"It turned out to be the rebels. It seems that I have to urge the Bayam police station. Compared with MI9, their efficiency is really bad."

After all, the two had a cup of tea, which means that the assassination has stopped at the official level, and the rest is the private exchange of interests.

Joyce admired the young and beautiful young ladies and ladies in the hall, and asked casually:

"I heard Ianna say that the Major General and her are good friends?"

Bright turned his head and glanced at him: "That's right."

"Major General is so lucky to have met a beautiful woman like Ianna!"

Joyce exaggeratedly said that he deliberately put a lot of emphasis on the pronunciation of "woman".

Then he pretended to be frivolous and asked, "I wonder if you can teach me a little experience?"

Bright was surprised why he asked such a question, but it just hit his smugness, and he boasted:

"To deal with a creature like a woman, you must..."

Sure enough, the followers of the Lord of Storms have serious machismo, but your thoughts are very dangerous... Joyce slandered in his heart, and he actively cooperated and kept asking questions, sighing with emotion...

Seeing that the guests were almost here, Ianna walked into the ballroom and saw Joyce and Bright together, chatting happily, even hooking their shoulders.

She was stunned for two seconds...
