Chapter 1322 - 1321: Interrogation

"Arthur"

As Arthur was staring blankly at the man within the shadows before him, the voice of Elizabeth IV suddenly chimed in, "Have you interrupted this pleasant afternoon tea with this gentleman just to daydream?"

As she spoke, Elizabeth IV's voice carried a hint of reproach, and her eyes held a trace of majesty, appearing extremely cold and solemn at a glance.

"Of course not!"

Upon hearing Elizabeth IV's words, Arthur instinctively stood at attention and replied, "I am here to report something very important to Her Majesty the Queen!"

While speaking, Arthur's face was filled with seriousness, appearing very earnest.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing Arthur's words, Elizabeth IV's voice slightly rose, taking a delicate sip of tea as her cold gaze fixed on Arthur, "What is this very important matter?"

The current Elizabeth IV spoke with a tone devoid of any emotion, looking at Arthur as if he were a stranger.

"Do you know of the Assassin Alliance?"

Upon hearing Elizabeth IV's words, Arthur excitedly responded, his voice carrying undertones of gloom as he eagerly faced Elizabeth IV, overwhelmed with excitement.

"The Assassin Alliance?"

Upon hearing Arthur's query, Elizabeth IV raised her eyes, setting down her teacup, responding slowly, "Of course I know."

At this point, her voice paused slightly, and her eyes inadvertently glanced at Lu Yu cloaked in the shadows opposite, then continued, "A century-old organization with formidable strength, a hegemon of the Dark World, formidable strength..."

When she reached this point, Elizabeth's gaze lifted, looking at Arthur, "What's this? Have you gotten news of this organization?"

As she spoke, Elizabeth IV remained unfazed, with eyes full of aloofness, as if genuinely unaware of such matters.

Upon hearing Elizabeth IV's words, a mocking smile inevitably played at the corners of Lu Yu's mouth.

One must admit, like Elizabeth IV who possesses a thousand faces, her face revealed no emotion, like a placid ancient well.

Arthur might not have noticed, but Lu Yu clearly felt the veiled murderous intent hidden beneath Elizabeth IV's facade!

"Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, Arthur felt a thrill of delight as he quickly spoke to Elizabeth IV, "One of the high-ranking members of the Assassin Alliance, Lu Yu, is currently in London. His status within the Alliance is exceedingly high, and if we can take action against him, I believe we could reap considerable benefits!"

As he spoke, a chilling malice flashed in Arthur's eyes.

Every time he recalled the moment Lu Yu had him underfoot, a tidal wave of humiliation surged inside him, making Arthur teeter on the brink of fury!

And such fury often knows no restraint!

"I see!"

Upon hearing Arthur's words, Elizabeth IV spoke with a voice that was low and exceedingly composed, "Before anything else, there is a question I plan to ask you."

Even Elizabeth IV, usually so composed, now seemed unable to keep her composure. Looking at Arthur, her speech was laden with sobriety.

"What question?"

Upon hearing Elizabeth IV's words, Arthur reluctantly held his temper and asked, already showing slight impatience in his eyes.

Now, he wanted nothing more than for Lu Yu to pay the price!

"The Shadow Luo Organization..."

Upon hearing Arthur's words, Elizabeth IV asked, "How did it come into existence?"

As she spoke, Elizabeth IV's eyes bore intensely into Arthur, her gaze icy, her face carrying a hint of authority.

This kind of organization rising beneath her nose; Lord Buddha would be infuriated, not just Elizabeth IV!

"This..."

Upon hearing Elizabeth IV's words, Arthur shuddered, looking at Elizabeth IV with shock and disbelief, never expecting her to ask such a question!

"Your Majesty, have you heard something?"

Upon hearing this, Arthur hurriedly spoke, his voice panicked, no longer having his previous composure: "I am utterly loyal to you, completely unaware of such matters!"

As he spoke, Arthur's face was full of fear, never expecting Elizabeth IV to utter such words!

After all, the birth of the Shadow Luo Organization was indeed brought about by his one moment of negligence, and now Arthur was extremely nervous.

"Unaware?"

Hearing Arthur's reply, Elizabeth IV's voice turned several degrees colder, as she said, "But as I understand it, this incident was caused by your oversight concerning the Super Soldier Plan!"

"And moreover, you hid this from me!"

"Arthur, are you truly so eager to die!?"

As she spoke, Elizabeth IV's voice rose sharply, infused with ruthlessness and iciness, sounding like an icy blade, chilling to the bone!

One must realize, anyone sitting in the Queen's position, none out of blood has not flowed like river, with mountains of bones standing tall?

Even with a kindly appearance, those who reach royalty must be bloodthirsty beings!

After all, in this world where the weak are prey to the strong, only the most terrifying and fierce can stand at the top!

"Your Majesty, I don't know who dared to slander me before you."

Upon hearing Elizabeth IV's words, Arthur appeared extremely flustered, quickly speaking to Elizabeth IV, "But you must believe in my unwavering loyalty, not heeding the whispers of those insignificant wretches!"

As he spoke, Arthur's tone was desperate, appearing truly disconcerted!
