Me! Cleaner!.

Chapter 526 Pull and Discovery

"But……"

Looking at the sloppy man in front of him with an anxious look on his face, Leon, who had successfully fished, "hesitated" for a moment, and then said helplessly:

"Forget it, we have no other choice now, we can only trust you temporarily...

But let me be frank. Our original purpose was just to complete the investigation and determine the situation of the Crook royal family. We had no intention of harming you. But if you tip us off, don't blame us!"

"I promise I won't! I swear!"

Seeing that he had chosen to "surrender voluntarily", Leon and the other man were still hesitant and unwilling to believe him. The last bit of doubt in the sloppy man's heart was also dispelled. After hastily swearing a poisonous oath, he asked impatiently:
"What's going on with the royal family? Is His Majesty really dead?"

"It's about 90 percent dead."

Lyon sighed:
"According to the intelligence we have obtained so far, there should be only two living people left in the entire Korok royal family. Almost all members with royal blood have had their brains removed by Prince Andre and turned into Atifi bodies."

what? ! ! !

Hearing the "truth" that Leon said, the sloppy man was struck by lightning and said with horror:
"Prince Andrei... How... How is this possible? This is too absurd. I... I don't believe it!"

"To be honest, we don't believe it either."

Leon said with a headache:
"I understand how you feel. When we first heard the news, we didn't dare to believe it either. But the source of the news is very credible, so we thought about having you sneak into Research Area No. 1 to see if we can verify the news."

"This……"

Looking at Leon opposite him with a frown on his face and an embarrassed expression, the sloppy man couldn't help but clench his fists and fell into hesitation.

People are just so awkward sometimes. If Lyon tells the truth when they meet, explaining that the Crook royal family has been murdered and hoping that he can help, he will most likely be met with suspicion and guarded against, and might even be sold out.

But if you are evasive and refuse to tell the truth, leaving him to ask questions himself, and then act as if you don't believe the news, but have to take the risk to verify it due to your responsibilities, the sloppy man who is eager to know the situation will subconsciously feel that the news is highly credible.

After hesitating for a while, the sloppy man who had initially expressed his unwillingness to cooperate gritted his teeth and lowered his voice:

"Where did you get your news?"

"Hmm? Why are you asking that?"

After hearing his question, Leon narrowed his eyes and put on a "vigilant" attitude, and asked with a scrutinizing look:
"Do you know anything?"

"I……"

"I've always thought you were weird!"

Leon's expression turned slightly cold, and he said with suspicion:
"Even though you were kidnapped by us, you didn't even worry about your own safety. You even took the initiative to speak up! And you asked for such important information... Tell me! What is your relationship with Prince Andre?"

"you misunderstood!"

Seeing that Leon actually began to doubt himself, the sloppy man couldn't help but said anxiously:

"I really have nothing to do with Andre! I belong to His Majesty Finn!"

"That's just what you said! How do I know if it's true or not?"

"I……"

Feeling a little annoyed by Leon's "suspicion", the sloppy man scratched his head for a while, then his eyes suddenly lit up. He reached out his hand and groped in his chest twice, took out a pocket watch, opened the lid and handed it over.

"Look! This is a photo of me and His Majesty Finn! It was taken when we graduated from the Second Metal Academy. I've carried it with me all these years!"

"..."

After taking the pocket watch and checking it, Leon saw a photo of two young men standing side by side with sunny smiles on the cover. He raised his eyes with some doubt and said:
"Is this photo of you?"

"it's me!"

"Really?" "Yes! I was very thin at that time!"

"Okay...even though the photo can't prove anything, I can barely believe you this time."

After closing the pocket watch doubtfully and handing it back, Leon said somewhat "reluctantly":
"The source of our information is Princess Filia, who is also the last survivor of the entire Korok royal family besides the murderer Prince Andre."

"..."

Princess Felia?
After hearing what Leon said, the sloppy man was slightly startled, and then his pupils suddenly shrank, and the muscles on both sides of his cheeks twitched unconsciously twice, and then he said with forced calmness:

"Is that so... Then I really need to verify it carefully..."

Huh? He's doubting me again?
Seeing the sloppy man's spirit stirring again, with a turbid soul representing distrust appearing again, Leon's eyebrows could not help but slightly raise, and then he asked straightforwardly:

"What happened to Princess Felia? Why do you look so strange after hearing her name?"

"I……"

Unexpectedly, he was discovered by others after just a moment's hesitation. The sloppy man was shocked and said:
"Nothing, it's just... I haven't met that Princess Filia very many times... so..."

"you are lying!"

Without hesitation, he shouted, interrupting the slovenly man. Then, he stared at his face and asked with a burning gaze:
"What's wrong with Filia? You'd better explain it clearly!"

"This……"

"Mr. Bell, we are cleaners from the Cleanup Bureau. If you are really a friend of King Finn, then it is possible that he has mentioned us."

After briefly talking about the cleaner's job, Leon stared into the sloppy man's eyes and said in a slightly cold tone:

“Under normal circumstances, we would not attack ordinary people, but in order to protect the royal family of the Kingdom of Korok, three of our companions were killed in an explosion yesterday, and two were captured. There has been no news so far.

So our emotions are not very stable right now, and it is difficult to guarantee that we will not vent our anger on others. You'd better cooperate with our investigation and tell us what you have to say, otherwise don't blame us for resorting to force."

"..."

The sloppy man shivered as his scalp tingled under Leon's cold gaze.

After stealing a glance at Alger, who looked sad and seemed to have lost his companion, and considering that the two people who claimed to be cleaners did not seem to be enemies of the royal family, the sloppy man gritted his teeth and said hesitantly:

"It's not that I don't want to speak frankly, the main thing is...Filia died more than ten years ago. How could she be a 'survivor'?"

???

Felia died more than ten years ago?

After hearing the answer from the sloppy man, it was Leon and the other man's turn to be surprised.

The emerald-eyed girl's body was intact and her soul was sound. She was full of vitality and had no trace of the dead air that was unique to the dead. So even Leon hadn't thought about it in this way, but...

After observing the sloppy man's soul and confirming that he was telling the truth... at least what he believed to be the truth, Leon couldn't help but frown and said:

"Are you sure? Is it possible that King Finn lied to you, and that you two weren't that close friends, so he didn't tell the truth to you as his friend?"

"impossible!"

Seeing that Leon actually questioned his friendship with the old king, the sloppy man couldn't help but said angrily:

"I've seen that child! She had a brain attack on her twelfth birthday and died soon after.

Finn loved this daughter very much. When Felia died, he ran out of the palace in the middle of the night without any guards and came to my house and cried for a long time. This story must be true!"
