This mansion at night belongs to Morin. As a senior cabinet official, her mansion is guarded by a significant number of elite soldiers, showcasing her high status.
A convoy of twenty cars entered the mansion, seemingly with Morin bringing guests.
Luo watched silently, rubbing his chin and muttering to himself, "Will it be tonight?"
He had come to Beigro City with full preparation, intending to quickly deal with Morin, a potential threat.
Touching his rough skin, Luo decided to act tonight, but not immediately. He had to wait until midnight.
Time passed, and the night sky became cloudier, with a hint of coolness in the wind.
The moonlight gradually disappeared, making the brightly lit mansion stand out in the night.
At 11:45 PM, the mansion gate opened, and several armed soldiers watched five small cars leave.
Luo stayed in the tree, silently watching the cars leave, then continued to observe the mansion from a distance.
At 2 AM, Luo began his operation.
The mansion's area was a square, with soldiers patrolling and guarding all around, operating in shifts, 24/7.
The defense had invested a considerable amount of manpower, so there were not as many surveillance cameras as in the Ohara Museum.
On the west side, Luo climbed over the wall and hid in the shadows after the soldiers on the tower missed his movement. After some twists and turns, he reached a house that seemed to be a warehouse.
"Tat-tat."
Several ten-man squads crisscrossed the large courtyard, leaving no gaps.
Crack.
The sudden sound of a breaking branch alerted the nearby patrol squads. Some soldiers reported the disturbance, while others quickly spread out, forming a semicircle and moving towards the sound.
"Meow."
A white house cat glanced at the soldiers, seemingly frightened, and ran towards the high wall. With a leap, it jumped over the wall and disappeared into the night.
The leading soldier, seeing this, pressed his earpiece and whispered, "False alarm, just a white cat."
The soldiers, drawn by the sound, didn't notice a shadow slipping away towards the largest building.
Outside the wall, the white cat walked away, found a tree, jumped onto it, and transformed into Luo's black cat.
Sitting on the branch, it picked its ear, bored, hoping Luo would finish quickly.
Inside the mansion, Luo avoided patrol soldiers and cameras, using unique paths to gradually approach Morin's bedroom.
At 3 AM, the soldiers inside the mansion had not detected the malicious intruder, unaware that their protected target was inching towards danger.
In a room decorated in an old European style, a woman lay on the bed, breathing evenly, in deep sleep.
This woman was the same one who had contact with Dove on Devil Island.
In the quiet room, another person appeared silently from the shadows and approached the bed.
After thorough preparation and verification, Luo confirmed the potential threat this woman posed, likening it to a guillotine hanging over him in the dark.
Every aspect provided Luo with sufficient motive.
Standing by the bed, Luo watched the sleeping Morin for a while, then condensed a fingernail-sized poison and flicked it towards her.
The poison entered her body silently, causing Morin's sleeping body to momentarily stiffen as if reacting to the poison.
After injecting the poison, Luo quietly left the room, avoiding the guards, and went to a tree to meet the black cat.
"Is it done?"
The black cat jumped down and asked.
Luo nodded, letting the black cat return to his hand, then headed towards his hotel.
On the way, he removed the human skin mask on his face, destroyed it, and put on another mask he had worn when he arrived in Beigro City.
At 9 AM the next day, at the Ohara Museum restaurant.
Clover sat at the head of the long dining table, a rich Western breakfast before him, and a large LCD TV in front of him.
At this moment, the female host on TV was broadcasting news.
Clover stared at the TV, his fork, holding a poached egg, suspended in mid-air.
"Morin Eddy, a cabinet official of the Bergrose United Nations, was found dead at her mansion at 7:25 this morning. The cause of death is unclear, but it is likely due to poisoning."
"Currently, the police initially conclude it is a homicide."
"Strangely, despite the tight security at Morin Eddy's mansion, where people joked that even a fly couldn't get in, the guards were unaware of the incident..."
Click.
Clover turned off the TV and slowly put down the knife and fork.
"It was him, definitely him."
"He actually..."
Clover's breathing became rapid, his face slightly trembling, losing his appetite.
Morin's death caused a temporary turmoil among the Bergrose United Nations' high officials.
As a staunch member of the hawk faction, her sudden death by poisoning inevitably led to speculation, with many drawing their own conclusions about the cause and effect.
Those involved in the power struggles never imagined that Morin's death was not caused by political strife.
Three days later, Clover received a call from Luo.
"Mr. Clover, please come to the Hunter Association building, 16th floor, to discuss cooperation."
Clover swallowed and asked, "About Morin..."
Luo immediately interrupted, "I don't know what you're talking about. I hope to see you at the Hunter Association building in five days."
With that, Luo hung up.
Clover stared blankly at the phone.
Hunter Association building, 16th floor, Luo Ling Museum company office.
The office space was large, but there were only six desks, with the rest occupied by bookshelves filled with Salin's books, and many more piled on the floor.
Buhara was moving books around, sorting them as requested by Salin, who was reading and not helping at all.
Luo and Sabo were at a desk, discussing how to handle three items and not helping either.
"These three items are for you to handle. You can sell them on the black market for a good price."
Luo looked at the three items on the desk, the treasures to be showcased at the Ohara Museum dinner.
Sabo carefully picked up the Water Glaze and asked, "Are you planning to run again?"
"Uh..."
Luo scratched the back of his head and said seriously, "I'm busy with work. I hired a great person to maintain the website and manage security, but I have to play games with them. I can't break the contract, right?"
Sabo squinted and said, "That makes sense, but I feel like you're just trying to run."
"Am I that kind of person?" Luo said seriously.
"Yes." Sabo replied without hesitation.
"Cough, cough, I can't keep them waiting, I have to go." Luo coughed a few times and pointed to the computer monitor.
With that, he walked towards the computer monitor.
"How long will it take?" Sabo asked, hitting the mark.
In fact, playing games wouldn't take long, but Luo needed it as an excuse to run.
He wanted to visit Whale Island but didn't want to be tied down by work.
"I don't know."
He turned back, giving a vague answer, then, under Ikusebe's operation, turned into a white light and entered the computer monitor.
Four days later, Clover arrived.
However, the person he most wanted to see, Luo, was not there. Instead, he was greeted by Salin.
