Chapter Thirty-Two: Delivered Right to the Door

  "Join us? Are you the one who made a big commotion in town this afternoon?"

  Dean asked with a hint of hesitation, but his mind was racing quickly.

  It's clear that the current situation has changed from what he remembered - although Mold was greedy and hypocritical, in his original memory, the other party didn't do such a thing!

  On this point, Dean can be completely sure.

  For, after the event, his teacher, the Duchess, had investigated everything about the tax collector with crystal clearness, without omitting even the fact that he had once betrayed to the enemy; but that betrayal was against the iron knights of Xiti, and now it is against this ancient kingdom of Gao Sai.

  Of course, as a future ally with Seth, Dean didn't have much surprise when contacting Gao Sai now.

  It was just a change in the gap between memories, but it made him have to be careful.

  As the reborn Dean, he is very clear about his own advantages, which are not the knowledge from his "hometown", nor the "system" on his body, but the unique and irreplaceable "memory" of the entire Goetz's change - once these "memories" change, he will lose his current advantage!

  Even as he continues to make changes, this 'memory' will eventually change beyond recognition, however... at least, before he is fully prepared, this advantage cannot be lost!

  However, this does not mean that Dean will let go of the opportunity to get rid of this tax official - it was his plan all along and didn't need any changes.

  As for why the other party chose to contact Gao Sai's spy?

  Deane has already had some guesses - nothing more than being threatened by the Thieves' Guild!

  In the afternoon, this tax officer's utter failure apparently thoroughly enraged those who walked in the shadows.

  They have even put the blame for harming their colleagues on this tax officer, otherwise he wouldn't be so anxiously looking for a protective umbrella.

  As for Baron Teir?

  Although Baron Thiel has many shortcomings as a noble, he is extremely anxious about the safety of his territory. Whether it's bandits or the Thieves' Guild, they are all targets that this baron wants to eliminate first.

  It is therefore clear that this tax official cannot seek refuge with the baron!

  Because that would only expose his dealings with the Thieves' Guild, and possibly even more unknown things to the public, no matter how small the possibility, but for this tax official who is concerned about his own future and life, he will absolutely not be careless, even if there is only a tiny bit of risk.

  Of course, what's more important is that perhaps in this tax officer's mind, even the baron can't guarantee his safety!

  After all, this baron advocated the suppression of bandits and thieves' guilds, but in the territory of Tielu, bandits and thieves' guilds were still rampant - and those tax officials who had a close relationship with the bandits and thieves' guilds were undoubtedly the most aware of the gap between the two sides; perhaps, when the two sides clashed head-on, the baron's side was at an advantage, but compared to that covert little movement, it was clear that the thieves' guild was the winner.

  So he needs some people who also walk in dark alleys to deal with the Thieves' Guild.

  Everything should be left to experts, not amateurs!

  It is clear that this tax official understands the importance of this sentence.

  And facing the thieves walking in the shadows, as well as the spies hiding in the dark, it is obviously a match made in heaven.

  As for being controlled and coerced after betrayal?

  For this tax official, as long as there is enough benefit, it's no problem for him to overthrow the king and kill his father - isn't the Baron of Tyre, who was soon after harmed by him, a figure like a father to him?

  "That's the one!"

  The spy in front of Dean nodded and a smile appeared on his face, saying: "This tax officer has obviously encountered no small trouble - although he usually does too much, but compared to this time's trouble, it is obvious that the minor witch sees the major witch... I think we can accept this tax officer's allegiance!"

  "Can its authenticity be confirmed?"

  Dean asked cautiously.

  As for how well the other side grasps the information about Mold?

  Deane didn't find it strange at all, as the head of local espionage, if he couldn't even grasp this basic information, then the other party would have been replaced by someone else long ago.

  Of course, from the other party's words, Dean can also be sure that the other party does not really grasp the true information of this tax officer Mold, at most only some unclean evidence; if there is real decisive evidence such as "ambushing merchant caravans" and "selling stolen goods", it is not necessary for Mold to come by himself, these spies will take the initiative to rush up and capture the other party - Dean, who has walked in the dark, is not unfamiliar with the means of spies.

  So he was so sure.

  "Alright! Not long ago, I had a pleasant conversation with this tax officer... A self-satisfied smile appeared on the face of the spy chief,"I believe our tax officer is quite sincere, after all, he provoked an opponent he shouldn't have provoked. If we don't protect him, he will surely die miserably! As for that Baron Teir? He absolutely won't notify the other party if he doesn't want to die even faster!"

  "Alright, Snow Pine One!" Dean nodded and said: "I think I need to meet this tax officer of ours!"

  "Of course, Your Excellency!"

  The spy chief nodded without hesitation - in fact, it was a matter of course for 'Snow Pine No. 1'; after all, from the news he received, the current situation of this lord was not very good, and it could be seen that the opponent had directly bypassed Wobang County and came to Tiel Territory, previously, not long ago, the news about Lord 'Silver Hoof' from Wobang County was true.

  As a big shot who has been operating in Wobang County for thirty years, this 'Silver Hoof' would not easily give up his power to some sudden newcomer, no matter how impressive the guy's achievements were in the three southern counties; after all, south is south and north is north.

  To know that the three southern counties are not large, and collectively they are only slightly smaller than Yorkshire in the north.

  "'Silver Hawk' has sufficient reason to prove itself good enough."

  The "mother nest" will never excessively coerce such a "laborious and meritorious" great figure; unless the other party has really done something unforgivable, or... the one in front is even more outstanding.

  But now it seems impossible.

  However, this did not deter the spy chief's respect for Dean - he had long since made up his mind not to get involved in a dispute with such a big shot.

  His espionage career had long since taught him what it meant to keep a low profile.

  No matter which of the two big shots wins or loses, he hopes to maintain his current status and enjoy everything that comes with it.

  So he needs to please both sides, but neither side can be too pleased.

  It was undoubtedly very difficult, but it couldn't stump this spy chief——

  "But this tax officer's situation is a bit special, our people have also been sent out to solve his troubles, so..."

  As he spoke, this spy chief deliberately revealed a difficult expression.

  "So what?"

  Dean Ming knows why he asks Dao.

  "So, I can only provide you and the other party with an opportunity to meet!"

  The spy chief spoke while nervously lowering his head.

  Although the other's expression was extremely vivid, Dean still caught a glimpse of the pride that flashed in the corner of his eyes for an instant when he lowered his head.

  "It seems like something has happened, I don't know what!"

  Deep down, Dean thought it was a pretty good thing for someone with other ideas like him; so Dean couldn't help but want the other person to do so; but on his face, Dean appeared thoughtful, and only after a full minute did he nod reluctantly: "Okay!"

  "I'm terribly sorry, sir! However, from now on, leave everything to me!"

  After the spy chief's bow, he said with great certainty and conciseness - because he was very sure that he had already 'stood out' from the struggle between the two big men, and everything afterwards was no longer his concern, even if Lord Silverhoof of Wobang County came to ask questions, he had a reason to shirk.

  After all, as usual, he not only had to ensure Dean's personal safety within the territory of Tyre, but also arrange a safer place for Dean to settle down. Moreover, when meeting with this 'fresh blood', it was necessary to arrange enough manpower to deal with unexpected situations.

  But now he has cleverly dodged all of them with sufficient reasons.

  For his own 'wit', this spy chief gave a smile as praise.

  "See you here tomorrow!"

  The spy chief said so.

  At the same time, this was also a farewell between the two - with that mediator leaving first, and then Dean made another round of inspection around the group to confirm again that there were no other people before truly leaving.

  All the way back to the "Snow Bear's Home", Dean quietly returned to his own room.

  After checking the threshold and door panel, Dean lay down on the bed with his tied hair intact - even though he had a rest in the afternoon, Dean wouldn't mind having a more sufficient rest tonight after not resting well for many days.

  After all, tomorrow night's affairs and subsequent affairs still require his energy to cope with.
