Chapter 386 Arranging the Movements of the Abraham Family
When Evan left Klein's house, the sky in the distance was already beginning to lighten, the cold streets were showing signs of life, and the whole city was beginning to awaken.
Perhaps it was because of yesterday's evening paper report about the Kingdom of Rune's government cracking down on hoarding and speculation, but the faces of passersby were no longer as deathly ashen, but had a different kind of luster.
Evan knew that this change was brought about by something called "hope".
Seeing all this, Evan's first thought was not "pride" or "moved". Instead, he thought that if someone could shatter the newly born hope in the hearts of the people at this moment, it would surely arouse unprecedented anger among the people, and this anger might even cause the world to turn upside down.
It was this thought that made Evan reaffirm his own heart, making him even more hardened than before.
The "scheming" figures of the Fusak Empire are indeed not to be underestimated. They understand human nature, have calculated everything, and know how to deal the greatest blow to the Kingdom of Rune.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have given the Kingdom of Rune a chance to react; they would have prepared relevant measures long ago and detonated everything yesterday.
They had Alice distribute related leaflets the next day, hoping to build up the "bomb" before igniting it, but unfortunately, Evan wouldn't give them that chance.
Evan's goal was to strike at George III, prevent him from finding Klein, thus hindering the Kingdom's financial problems and triggering a new round of internal reforms, thereby continuing to drive changes in the world situation.
However, with the formidable enemy, the Einhorn family, still at large, the Kingdom of Rune and the Augustus family should not be weakened further, lest their power imbalance be disrupted.
Now it's time to bleed the Fussac Empire dry, which is why Evan has been actively preparing for his voyage.
So after leaving Klein's house, Evan didn't go to Robert's place right away. Instead, he went back to the apartment where Fors and Hugh lived.
Because of the information revealed by the government of the Kingdom of Rune yesterday, MI9 internally judged that the outlaw "Robin Hood" would probably cease operations, so apart from the necessary personnel remaining on duty, everyone else basically took turns resting on time.
After all, in order to capture "Robin Hood" and cope with the increasing pressure from above, almost all the official extraordinary individuals have been working overtime.
So when Evan arrived at Fors and Hugh's apartment, they opened the door for him, still half asleep.
"Judging from your appearance, anyone who didn't know better would think you'd gone to great lengths to capture 'Robin Hood'!"
Plopping down on the sofa, Evan looked at the two people with disheveled hair, droopy eyelids, and faint traces of drool at the corners of their mouths, and couldn't help but say something.
Fors and Hugh were sprawled out on the sofa. Hearing Evan's complaints, they touched their faces and barely managed to regain some of their composure.
"Although we haven't made any effort to capture 'Robin Hood,' we've been working hard these past few days to avoid capturing him."
He traveled around like Robin Hood.
You fled Backlund all by yourself, leaving us with such a huge mess, and now you have the nerve to say that?
Since Klein decided to change his plans because of George III's search for the "Black Emperor," he pulled Klein into the Tarot Club action team that he had temporarily formed in the Tarot Club.
It was at that time that Evan learned that Klein had teamed up with Fors, Audrey, and Hugh to rob and plunder wealthy nobles and merchants who were hoarding goods. Before that, he had thought that Klein was acting alone.
Evan simply smiled at Fors's complaint without responding. Instead, he took out the information Klein had just given him, placed it on the coffee table in front of him, and pushed it towards Hugh.
Hugh patted her face, picked up the documents from the coffee table, and looked at Evan with a puzzled expression. Evan gestured for her to open them herself.
After Hugh opened the file, he only glanced at it, but his pupils immediately dilated, and his hand holding the file trembled.
Seeing her friend like this, Fors quickly moved closer and, too, after just one glance, couldn't take her eyes off him.
After a long pause, Hugh and Fors finished reading the documents in their hands and asked in shock:
"Where did you get this? Is the stuff in here real?"
The documents in Hugh and Fors's hands contained the action plan for the Fussac Empire's behind-the-scenes machinations.
Because the most important aspect of bringing the Fursac Empire into Backlund was the "Alice" channel, which didn't require Fors and the others' cooperation, they were unaware of what Klein and Evan had been doing behind the scenes.
They had only been cooperating with Klein's "Robin Hood" operation, so today was the first time they had learned about the Fussac Empire's behind-the-scenes actions, and they also understood why the Kingdom of Rune government had released information about controlling the epidemic and cracking down on drug prices through the evening newspaper yesterday.
They had previously thought that the success of the "Robin Hood" operation had forced the government of the Kingdom of Rune to surrender, and they celebrated last night.
In retrospect, it was the Fussac Empire that played a key role in this.
"You don't need to know where I got this information from, just know that the information is absolutely true."
I am giving you this intelligence. You must wipe out all these Fussac Empire spies, and ideally capture Alice Einhorn alive.
"If we can capture her, it will greatly help the kingdom escape its current diplomatic predicament, which would be a significant achievement."
Now Evan values the identity of "Alice Einhorn" more and more, so he must do everything he can to solidify this identity.
He discussed this with Klein for so long last night, and it was all about this.
So even now, Evan is not prepared to let Fors and the others know what he and Klein have been doing. Instead, he wants to use them to eliminate as many clues as possible that are detrimental to Alice's identity.
The Fussac Empire intelligence agent who had met "Alice" during this period was the shield that Evan was preparing to use.
On the one hand, their capture could eliminate as much of Alice's activity as possible; on the other hand, it also confirmed Alice's existence once again.
After all, for the Kingdom of Rune, "Alice" has always been a shadow that is known to exist, but for which there is not a single clue.
The fact that these people have fallen into the hands of MI9 can make the image of "Alice" more vivid, which in turn can make the Fussac Empire more convinced of the existence of "Alice".
For a fleeting moment, Evan even considered killing Petrov Andrei, who was endorsing the identity of "Alice," but considering his importance, he ultimately let the thought pass.
"I understand. I will go and arrange the arrest operation now. We must stop the Fussac Empire's conspiracy."

Although he hated George III and had been secretly opposing the governments of Klein and the Kingdom of Loen, Hugh was still able to distinguish right from wrong and knew what he could and could not do. He stood up with great initiative and was ready to take action.
Evan quickly stopped her and gave her some advice:
"I hope you will not act rashly now, and arrest them as soon as possible before they take action!"
First, Hugh, having gained considerable experience in MI9 over this long period, immediately understood Evan's words and replied:
"You want to protect the source of intelligence?"
Evan nodded silently, tacitly agreeing with Hugh's words.
In fact, this intelligence was entirely compiled by him and Klein overnight based on the information they had. However, if a major loss occurred just as the mission was being assigned to the Fussac Empire, it would inevitably raise suspicions within the Fussac Empire.
While desperately trying to protect Alice's identity, Evan didn't want to take any risks whatsoever.
Hugh went back to the bedroom to change, while Fors remained sitting on the sofa in her nightgown, clearly not involved in the operation and not thinking about taking credit for it.
"How's your contact with your teacher going lately? Any news about the Abrahamic family?"
Evan was already used to Fors's "salted fish" and instead asked her about the recent movements of the Abraham family.
The fact that Forsbadorian was chosen as her teacher was itself a result of the initial cooperation agreement reached between the Abraham and Horn families. She could now be considered a link between the two sides. Revealing the information she knew was not considered a leak, so she naturally informed Evan of the information she had gathered during this period.
"Professor Dorian and I have been corresponding quite frequently lately, and our exchanges have been very pleasant. However, I heard that Mr. Laurnold's health is not good. He hopes to complete the transfer of power within the Abraham family while he is still alive, so he will be temporarily suspending contact for about a week!"
Evan did a quick mental calculation and realized that it was indeed almost time for Laurold to die of old age in the original story.
"It seems that Mr. Laurnold will continue to support Mr. Radorian while he is still alive, so that he can gain more influence within the Abraham family."
This is a good thing for me. The more influence your teacher has within the Abraham family, the better it will be for our future cooperation. I guess this is also Mr. Laurnold's consideration.
When you communicate with your teacher in the future, you can reveal a message to him.
That means the Aurora Society, acting on the orders of the true Creator, has shifted its main focus to the Southern Continent. Therefore, the traitors of the Abraham family have also gone to the Southern Continent, greatly reducing the pressure they face in the Northern Continent.
Fors' eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she asked in surprise, "Is this true?"
This was great news for the Abraham family. Although they had chosen to disperse and establish small families all over the world, their main area of activity remained in the North Continent.
Moreover, the greatest threat facing the Abraham family now is precisely this group of traitors who know the inside story.
If these traitors really did run to the Southern Continent under the command of the true Creator, the Abraham family could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The main reason why Laurold was willing to risk contacting Fors was because Fors had an MI9 identity and planned to use official power to fight against traitors and protect his people.
"This information isn't exactly secret. You can verify it simply by following the Aurora Society's movements through MI9!"
Upon hearing this, Fors was even more excited, after all, by becoming an apprentice of the Abraham family, she had already stood on the opposite side of those traitors.
Although she had an MI9 identity and Evan's protection, she still felt insecure after gaining a deeper understanding of the "Apprentice" pathway.
After exchanging information with Fors, Evan had nothing else to do, so he didn't linger. Before Hugh could change her clothes, he said goodbye and left their apartment.
After changing into more practical riding attire, Xiu glanced at the living room, which no longer contained Evan, and knowing that Evan had left early, said nothing more:
"I'll be very busy today, so I won't be home tonight."
Fors nodded to indicate that he understood, then dozed off, waving his hand as he walked towards the bedroom, saying:
"Understood. Be careful when you act. That princess of the Fusak Empire is not someone to be trifled with. Don't be careless."
Seeing that Fors had no ambition and only wanted to go back to his bedroom to catch up on sleep, Xiu sighed helplessly, swallowed back what he wanted to say, said "Okay," and then left the apartment.
Meanwhile, having finished arranging everything, Evan didn't waste any more time. He quickly arrived at the Earl of Ahova's mansion in Queens, using the flames from the still-burning streetlights and the glass that was everywhere.
Because Evan returned secretly this time, he did not enter through the main entrance, but appeared directly in Robert's study.
As soon as he entered the study, Robert, dressed in pajamas, also appeared in the study.
"I thought you'd be back last night, why are you only arriving now? What were you doing?"
Robert waited for Evan for a long time last night, but Evan didn't come. He couldn't help but wonder what had gotten into Evan.
"I met with some of my downlines to learn about the movements of the Fussac Empire."
Evan was very familiar with Robert's study, so he didn't stand on ceremony and directly took out Robert's treasured red wine, poured a glass for himself and Robert, and then said, "We've basically figured out the Fussac Empire's plan, but it's nothing. You probably already know what they're going to do next, so I won't go into details."
What worries me most is that Ahomatova Einhorn of the Night Legion actually wants to turn you and me against our cause, and has already begun to carry it out!
Robert took the glass of red wine from Evan, his eyes narrowing with a piercing glint, and asked seriously, "Is the information reliable?"
"Absolutely reliable! Maxim, the most capable man under the Demon King, has arrived in Backlund and has already met with my men!"
Although Evan didn't return to Backlund because of this matter, he still informed Robert about it first, since this matter was much more important than Earl Hall's affair!
