Chapter 66 Azeroth Celebrity Project (19)
Just as Xia Yu and others were having supper, a sumptuous banquet was also held in the banquet hall of Storm Fortress.
The food at this banquet was much more hearty than Xia Yu and the others. The long banquet table was filled with delicious delicacies, roasted suckling pig with golden crust, mussel-sauceeded clay soup with cream, roasted rock lamb from Alahi, baked lobster from Minaishir Port, velociraptor omelet from Stranglethorn Valley, and grape wine from Lordaeron - it was shipped by sea before the natural disaster broke out, and the taste became more mellow after several years of storage.
All those who participated in the banquet were nobles and seniors from Stormwind City, but the atmosphere at the dinner today was a bit stiff.
"That damn thief has looted all the savings of my family for generations. Ms. Katrana, please make sure you make the decision for us."
The one who was crying was one of the victims of today, Duke Bores Visakh. He found that his home was stolen in the evening. He was about to change his dress to come to the banquet. As soon as he entered the bedroom, he found that the door of the secret passage was opened. He thought that there were many mechanisms in the secret passage and he would see a burned corpse of a thief, but he saw the robbery's treasury.
Onyxia glanced at the sad Duke and sneered in her heart. Your family had been confiscated by the orcs long ago, and there was no savings for several generations. The money was obviously the share of my share of the funds from the reconstruction of Stormwind City.
She glanced at the duke coldly and nodded without objection.
Another traitor, Duke Greg Lescova, agreed with a gloomy face, "That's right, this thief is so rampant that he continues to steal famous nobles, which is clearly a provocation to Stormwind City, and must not be tolerated."
Grieg's reaction was even more intense. Not only did he lose money, but he finally bought a group of assassin thugs and thugs he raised were all killed. This made him not only angry, but also scared. If that person wanted to assassinate him, wouldn't he be dead?
Boval also slapped the table angrily, "Ms. Katrana, my home has also been stolen. This thief actually stole the sword of royal guards given to me by the former king. This rose thief must be arrested and brought to justice."
Onyxia was also a little surprised. She stole four houses in a row. Could it be that her mansion was stolen? It doesn't matter if she lost some property. Anyway, her family is just an empty shell. The key is not to expose "that person".
She has been staying in Stormwind for a while, and she is not sure whether her family has been stolen, but it should be fine. She specially arranged for Viscag to guard the prisoners, and even if Van Cliff comes, she would not be able to get it.
"Shall, why doesn't MI7 have any clues?"
Shor looked at everyone present with a cold expression, and a trace of sadness flashed in his heart. Stormwind City was controlled by such a group of people. Although the country was in great danger, these nobles only knew about daily banquets and gatherings, and they called it the "Senior Conference".
But his face was not fluctuating, and he said calmly: "Since the king disappeared, MI7 has been ordered to lift the security work of Storm Fortress and Upper City. Now the security work of Storm Fortress and Storm Fortress is under the responsibility of the Royal Guards. I think you should ask Captain Victor about this matter."
Katrana's face darkened. It was actually her push behind the scenes. It was her who drove Military Intelligence Department 7 out of the upper city on the grounds that she would not find out about her plan. This would have become an excuse for the other party to evade responsibility. It was really outrageous.
"Hmph, is this the reason for your inaction? If the thief wants to enter the upper city, he must enter from other urban areas of Stormwind City. Isn't those areas monitored by your MI7? As a result, you didn't even notice any clues. You really disappointed me."
This made Shore speechless, thinking that this is OK, I was shot even if I was lying down.
The other nobles immediately started to speak up after hearing this.
"Yes, yes, it's all your MI7 fault."
"You didn't handle the last time the king was attacked. Now there is such a mess. I really doubt whether there is still a need to retain this department."
"His Excellency Shore, you must give us an explanation. You must bear part of the losses of our family!"
Shore laughed furiously, "Since you are so worried about the safety of your family, why don't I ask the agents from the MI7 to investigate carefully at your home to make sure that no similar things will happen again."
As soon as the aristocrats said this, they didn't say anything. Everyone knew very well. Who had no black material? If the agents found something, it would not be a matter of losing some wealth.
Finally, Katrana spoke, "I don't think there is any need for this. It is your main responsibility to do your best and find the Rose Thief as soon as possible. As for the safety of the upper city, I will privately recruit a group of elite thieves to protect the safety of the upper city."
Shore's face immediately became serious, "The security of Stormwind City should not be managed by outsiders who do not know their origins."
Katrana smiled slightly, "I think this is not a question you need to consider. Finding the thief as soon as possible and finding the whereabouts of the king is what you need to do, you said yes, Berval."
Berval nodded, "What Katrana said makes sense. I think the safety work in Stormwind should indeed be strengthened."
Shore's face turned pale. He knew that debating with these people was a waste of time. These nobles were all birds of feathers. Even Beval was fascinated by Katrana and could not count on him at all. He lowered his head and said, "Then please allow me to sue first."
Leaving the Storm Fortress, Shore took a deep breath of the night and the cold air. The night view of Storm City was very beautiful, but under this prosperity, there was a hint of haze. The king's disappearance was definitely not an accident. He could feel that there must be some conspiracy.
When he returned to MI7, he found that someone was waiting here, his adjutant Osber and a young female agent.
Osber: "Sir, this agent wants to see you and says there is something very important."
"Who are you?"
"Mr. Shore, I am Agent Gilny of Little Finger. I have important information to report to you."
The agent classification of MI7 is divided by five fingers as code names, and the little finger is the lowest-level ordinary agent.
Shore was a little surprised that he would not ask about the things on his little finger, but he nodded, "Go in and talk."
Five minutes later, Shore finished listening to Gilny's report.
He frowned, so there was a mysterious thief who wanted to meet me? This man is so powerful, is he the Rose Thief? It is impossible for such a powerful thief to appear at once. He said that he knew the whereabouts of 'that person', and that was his Majesty the King?
This incident was strange everywhere, which made him immediately interested. Compared to intrigue with the nobles in Stormwind City, he would rather meet with the mysterious thief for a while.
"I understand, you're doing a good job."
"Sir, are you really going to meet him? That person is very dangerous. I think it's better to bring the assassin group to the group."
Shore smiled slightly, "There is no need. The other party asked me to meet in Stormwind City. There should be no malice, and I am also very dangerous."
He is very confident in his strength. The other party may be very strong. Maybe he is not the opponent of the mysterious thief, but if he wants to leave, no one can keep him.
However, after thinking for a moment, he partially adopted Gilny's opinion.
"Arranging a group of assassins nearby. If you need to fight, I will send you a signal. By the way, you can come together - Gilny, ring finger."
Gilny was excited, was she promoted?
