Chapter 1633: Chapter 1633
Because he saw someone who shouldn't be here at all.
A name he would never dare forget.
Because the other party was the five-stage 'Professional' who was in charge of security in the 'Hundred Thousand Gold Crooks Heist': the five-stage 'Knight' and 'Defender'!
Looking at the other's burly body, even without armor, he still appeared immensely strong. Matthew shuddered all over, suppressing the urge to turn and run, trying as hard as possible to walk forward in a calm manner, not much different from before.
And Reed More also saw Matthew.
Standing there, Reed More walked straight towards Matthew.
Even though Matthew told himself to stay calm, his heartbeat could not help but accelerate, and his body turned rigid.
"I hope I haven't been found out?"
Matthew thought to himself.
At this moment, Reed More had already approached Matthew.
Reed More lowered his head, the stubble on his face pricking his shirt like steel nails, causing a rustling sound from the collar. Despite the lowering of his head, there wasn't any superior air; instead, this middle-aged knight showed a bright, kind smile.
Upon seeing this smile, Matthew felt at ease.
He followed up with a question.
"Reed More, a wandering knight."
"I have something I hope to meet with Mr. Jason about. If possible, please pass the message for me."
"I would be very grateful."
The middle-aged knight said politely.
Having just calmed down, Matthew was shaken to the core again.
How did the other party know Jason was with him?
Where was the mistake?
Thinking about it, Matthew nodded dumbly.
"I'll be waiting for you here, whether Mr. Jason is willing to meet me or not, please let me know the answer, sorry for the trouble."
The middle-aged knight showed an apologetic smile.
"It's no trouble! No trouble!"
"I'll get you the answer as soon as possible!"
Matthew quickened his pace.
But the appearance of Reed More made it impossible for him to calm down.
There were no results from his thinking.
Until he returned to his room and, seeing Taniel and Luodeni in the living room, informed them of this news, both were shocked.
"Could it be you who tipped them off?"
Luodeni stood up and began to suspect Matthew.
To this, Matthew rolled his eyes.
If he was going to tip them off, he wouldn't choose Reed More.
Taniel was more straightforward and headed directly towards the basement.
Just entering the basement, before getting close to that secret room, Taniel heard the sound of 'waves'.
Yes, the sound of waves.
The rushing of rivers, tides slapping against rocks.
Taniel had been to the seaside, more than once.
Thus, he was very familiar with the sound of waves.
But immediately, the wave sound disappeared, as if it was all an illusion.
Taniel blinked, looking at the door of the secret room - hidden behind a pile of miscellaneous items and shelves.
His intuition told him this wave sound was related to his friend, Jason.
Circumventing the pile of miscellaneous items and shelves.
Taniel glanced at the disorderly placed supplies, including but not limited to dried meats, medical items, lighting tools, and some small everyday tools, suppressed the urge to tidy up, raised his hand and lightly knocked on the wall.
Amidst a somewhat dull sound, the wall silently moved aside.
Jason appeared behind the door.
"Someone wants to see me?"
As soon as he opened the door, Jason asked directly. Latest content publıshed on n0velfire.net
Taniel was taken aback.
This Deer Academy teacher, the second advisor at Lorde's police department, looked surprised.
"You didn't really think we could disappear completely, did you?"
"Since Luodeni was 'exposed', naturally the safe house he found cannot be truly hidden from someone with intention and capability!"
"For us, it's enough to keep those tedious, unimportant people out."
Taniel still didn't quite understand.
Jason answered with a diffrent question.
"The five-stage 'Knight' from the previous 'Hundred Thousand Gold Crooks Heist'. "
This didn't quite match his expectations.
He had left some clues, aiming to find some 'capable' allies who were 'rational' enough to see through the 'situation' before them.
He never expected that the first to appear would be 'Knights'.
And not those who pledged loyalty to the 'Monarch' or 'Nobility'.
But more like free 'Knights'.
At this thought, Jason didn't linger further, proceeding directly towards the ground.
About ten minutes later, Reedmore entered No. 112 Zhengli Tree Street.
When Reedmore walked into the living room, Taniel and Luodeni tactfully moved to the small tea room on the other side, while Matthew simply left the room, heading into the courtyard—when faced with Reedmore, he didn't want to stay even for a moment.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Jason."
Reedmore greeted courteously.
As the 'host', Jason pushed the cup filled with tea towards him.
Reedmore, the wandering knight, picked up the tea without any inspection and drank it all, directly saying, "Mr. Jason, I represent some partners who wish to cooperate with you."
"Is it appropriate to find me now?"
Jason expressed doubt appropriately.
"Mr. Jason, we know you were wronged, that you're not the one who attempted to assassinate Sewock VII, nor were you responsible for the bloody coup that followed. We are very certain of this."
Reedmore confidently stated.
"Do you know the real culprit?"
To Jason's surprise, facing such probing, Reedmore was straightforward.
Reedmore's directness made Jason frown again.
This kind of straightforwardness was beyond the range of strangers.
Even an acquaintance wouldn't trust !
The kind that can only arise after experiencing enough events.
It seemed Reedmore noticed Jason's confusion and smiled.
Jason's frown did not ease, whereas Reedmore took out a small notebook from his pocket.
"When Beta passed away, it appeared in the 'camp'.
"We believe this is Beta's 'legacy'!"
"Should be inherited by you."
After speaking, Reedmore placed the notebook in front of Jason.
Looking at the notebook, which was not much different from the 'Night Watcher's Testament', Jason knew it well.
However, this only puzzled him more.
He had publicly announced that he was a five-tier 'Knight'.
"The 'Night Watcher' has its own rules and unique legacy, and the 'Knight' is no exception."
"However, we believe that with the 'belief' inherited from Beta, you will become a good 'Knight'."
"So, we will acknowledge your five-tier 'Knight' status externally."
"Of course, the rest is up to you."
Reedmore said with a smile.
"What do I need to give in return?"
Having something to give and something to gain, Jason was long accustomed to such a way of transaction.
Reedmore looked at Jason and shook his head slightly.
"Nothing is required."
"Simply because you are Beta's heir."
"And, because you were willing to meet me—this is both the opportunity and the outcome of everything."
"Stay here for a while, in a week, everything will be over."
"We will exonerate you!"
After speaking, Reedmore stood up, offered Jason a knightly salute, and then turned and left No. 112 Zhengli Tree Street.
Jason watched the figure disappear behind the door.
After pondering for a moment, he raised his hand to pick up the notebook on the table.
The words in front of him began to appear—
[Found 'Knight's Testament'!]
