"You seem to know the sisters very well?"
"I can't say that I know them well. I have never chatted with these sisters." Rene smiled, "You are still not familiar with us people...Sister Agnes is actually somewhat famous among us. She was originally Ge Peilin personally brought them both out of the province of Nia - you must understand the weight of this kind of kindness."
"What do you mean they are famous?" Hesta asked while chewing, "What did they do in the past that made them famous?"
"It's not that kind of 'famous'," Rene quickly corrected in a low voice, "I mean, anyone who can get inside information and talk directly to Mr. Robbeglier must know this. To sisters——"
Hesta raised her left eyebrow slightly: "So, you are the one who can talk to Roboglier directly."
René lowered his chin reservedly and showed a rare shy smile, which seemed to mean "it's natural".
"You go on."
"When I say they are famous, I mean that Mr. Robbeglier organized a grand dinner in the first district the year before last. The attendees were all members who had high hopes from him——"
"Are you there?"
"Uh...I'm not here, but I know some things very well. You know, I have some friends..." Rene explained how reliable his source of information was, but Hestad directly dismissed his low reputation in his heart. Reliability continued to drop by half.
"Agnes went, and she was the youngest among the invitees that night, so everyone would naturally pay attention to her, consciously or unconsciously."
"Only Agnes?" Hesta asked casually, "How old was Meyer at that time? Can Agnes safely leave her here alone and go to the first area to attend a banquet?"
"Maybe she also brought her younger sister with her, but Meyer didn't show up at the banquet... I'm a little unsure about this, but Agnes was definitely alone on the night of the banquet, without any companions."
"Roboglier was also present that night?"
"Attend throughout the whole process. That night, Mr. Robbeglier stayed until late in the night - you know, his physical strength has improved over the years, and there are few activities that can allow him to stay that late."
Hesta thought thoughtfully, "I saw that when Agnes pointed out Roboglier's mistake a few days ago, Roboglier seemed to have no impression of her at all."
"Mr. Robbeglier is busy with his work, so of course he can't remember everything. He leaves many things to Gobelin, so it's normal not to remember them. This is why Gobelin is becoming more and more arrogant now. That’s a story for another day…”
"Why is he hosting this dinner party?" Hesta asked softly. "It's impossible to call all his followers scattered around the world just for a meal."
"This... is inconvenient to talk about."
Hesta looked at René without saying a word, and René was sweating coldly.
"I really can't." Rene's voice didn't have much confidence.
"I didn't ask you to retell the whole story to me," Hesta picked up the napkin on the side and wiped the corners of his mouth. "Can't you reveal the general theme?"
"...This is a principle. I...you definitely don't want me to be an unprincipled person." Looking at Hesta, whose expression became increasingly cold, Rene hurriedly explained, "Well, I can only mention one thing. Key words……"
Rene's throat moved slightly, "...the fifteenth district."
Hesta's eyes were slightly stern, and she tried to pry Rene's mouth open, but Rene was obviously determined and refused to say anything, so the two of them turned their conversation elsewhere.
During the dinner, Hesta watched Gobelin in the distance from time to time with his peripheral vision. This man looked towards the entrance of the restaurant several times intentionally or unintentionally, obviously waiting for someone.
Hesta looked at the time - it was already nine twenty-six.
Most people in the restaurant have finished eating, but everyone left empty plates and sat in their own seats. The time is getting later and later, people are getting more and more anxious, and the vague conversation sounds have gradually disappeared at this moment - —People are no longer in the mood to even make small talk.
Suddenly, Gobelin stood up, and everyone looked at him in unison. They saw him carrying the dinner plate to the recycling area, pouring the leftovers into the trash can, and then putting the empty plate into the iron dining car. Then, walk straight towards the exit——
"Mr. Gobelin!"
Several thorn monks got up and rushed in front of Gobelin. They blocked Gobelin's way, "Where are you going?"
"Go back to your room and rest." Gobelin replied.
"Didn't you agree to release the Guidelines this morning?"
"Not all people were present."
"You can announce everyone who didn't show up first. Wouldn't it be nice if we counted who didn't show up and then distributed the "Guide" to them?"
The corner of Gobelin's mouth sank slightly, without explaining, "Get out of the way, today is not the right time."
"Don't even think about it!" The two thorn monks closed the door of the restaurant directly. "Three of our people have died since we boarded the ship - Gobelin! It's not your people who died, you don't care!"
"Calm down." There was no fear on Gobelin's face. "No one here can stay out of it. Instead, I want to remind you that I am the one who has actually faced the chelate on the ship - I have already said that the only problem is It’s just that not everyone was present.”
"Stop talking nonsense!" The young thorn monk obviously couldn't listen. The next moment, one of them drew his gun directly, "If we don't call the "Guide" out today, no one can leave. We will die together!"
All the passengers in the restaurant were frightened. Bernhard waved his hand gently, and several soldiers who had been dormant in the corner of the restaurant quietly approached the entrance.
"Don't get excited." Bernhard stood up and walked towards the thorn monk at the door. "I will send someone to call those who are not here."
"Yes, let this person go call him! Don't leave anyone -"
In an instant, the gray-haired Bernhard made a lightning-fast move and snatched away the pistol held by the man in front of him. Several other soldiers also took action at the same moment, strangling the remaining two thorn monks who were blocking the door to the ground.
"Don't move." Bernhard looked at the other monks at the table, "I won't hurt any of them."
After unloading these people's weapons, the soldiers pushed these people back to their seats unharmed.
"We can't keep dragging it out like this," Bernhard said. "We still have to report who hasn't come, so that we can find these people this afternoon and meet in this restaurant again. It won't take long. Just one o'clock in the afternoon, how about——"
"Mr. Gobelin."
Hesta's voice suddenly came from the side of the restaurant. This slightly weak voice turned people's attention back to Gobelin - he had reopened the door of the restaurant and was about to leave.
