As everyone's thoughts were racing, a guest suddenly shouted, "I get it! I get it!"

The others looked at him. He said, "Because of Anthony! Baron Constantin attacked the Lion Eye Knight Order because of Anthony!"

Facing everyone's stares, the man said smugly, "This must be revenge against Lancelot's Family. Anthony humiliated him in the news back then, so he killed Anthony.

But out of some kind of deep-seated hatred, he felt that just killing Anthony wasn't nearly enough. So he set his sights on Lancelot's Family—Miss Freya being taken hostage in the Dragon Land subway before is the perfect example!"

Seeing everyone's gazes turn to Freya, Isabella said coolly, "But Miss Freya is still standing here, alive. If Baron Constantin wanted to kill her, he would have done it back in the Dracul Mountain Range."

Freya didn't speak, but her expression seemed to confirm Isabella's words.

At this point, Wizard K from the London Tower spoke up. "As I recall, the place where the Lion Eye Knight Order is stationed isn't just some simple wilderness, is it?"

Jiang Ge, a Faith Knight from the Holy Cross Association, said, "The Dracul Mountain Range is teeming with Dragon Descendants. There is only one place they dare not approach: the ruins of the Dragon Clan, the Dragon Knight family from a century ago."

"As the only Dragon Knight currently on the Inner Side, Baron Constantin might know if there's something he needs hidden in those ruins."

"So, Mr. Jiang Ge, are you saying that Baron Constantin attacked the Lion Eye Knight Order for the ruins of the Dragon Family?"

Elder Pence nodded. "That's certainly a possibility. After all, the Dragon Clan was a family of Dragon Knights, and Baron Constantin has inextricable ties to the Dragon Witch..."

Just then, Silver Lion Wilder arrived. After telling Isabella the results of the blood analysis from the Dragon Devourer Cultists, he learned of everything that had transpired there.

He frowned. "Regardless of whether this person is the real Baron Constantin, the attack on the Lion Eye Knight Order is real. We must first gather people to send as support."

He looked at Sad. "Knight Commander Sad, I will go with you."

He looked at their companion, Aile, and said gently, "In that case, please lead the way..."

But Isabella said, "No."

Wilder looked at Isabella, puzzled. Isabella whispered, "I'm afraid it's a ploy to lure the tiger from the mountain. You're the only Silver Tier here..."

She only spoke half her thought, but Wilder reacted quickly. There were still Cultists from the Dragon Eater Association at the auction, and their purpose for being here was still unknown.

But whatever their purpose, given the Dragon Eater Association's reputation on the Inner Side, it couldn't be anything good.

If Wilder left, they would be walking right into the enemy's trap. The guests at the auction were all high-ranking VIPs from the Old Blood Clans and Law Enforcement Organizations across Europe. If anything went wrong, it could cause a diplomatic incident.

Wilder thought for a moment, then said to Sad, "Knight Commander Sad, we'll have to trouble you to go first."

Knight Commander Sad smiled. "For the honor of the Knights."

Wilder then turned to Jiang Ge, the red-haired Faith Knight from the Holy Cross Association. With a hint of hesitation, he said, "Mr. Jiang Ge, I need your help."

"To receive a request from the famous Silver Lion Wilder is a great honor for me."

Jiang Ge said, "But I refuse."

Silver Lion Wilder wasn't surprised. Faith Knights were different from Contract Knights; they could be understood as a group of monastic disciples who strictly adhered to the "Eight Knightly Virtues."

When Jiang Ge said it was an honor, he truly meant it was an honor. When he said he didn't want to go, he truly meant he didn't want to go.

The Faith Knight then said honestly, "I don't want to get involved in this. It could bring trouble to the Holy Cross Association. Besides, this Wizard K from the London Tower hasn't expressed any opinion from the very beginning. I figure if even a Wizard from the London Tower doesn't want to get involved, it can't be anything good."

'These guys who've been tamed by the Eight Knightly Virtues...' Seeing the topic had been turned on him, Wizard K cursed Jiang Ge in his head before sighing and saying:

"I forgot to bring my Magic Staff."

"My [Honesty] tells me you're lying," Jiang Ge said. "That means you brought it."

'You just used [Honesty] that casually? Shouldn't you be using it at a time like this to test whether the messenger was telling the truth?'

Wizard K's face twitched. He was clearly struggling to keep his composure.

It wasn't just him. The others present, including Silver Lion Wilder, felt the same.

Saint Elvin, meanwhile, was thinking to himself, 'That's right, why didn't I think of using Jiang Ge's [Honesty] during the auction to figure out what his bottom line was?'

He was also secretly glad, however. Thanks to the Faith Knight getting into a standoff with him, he hadn't ended up bidding on the Angel that was actually a disguised member of the Blood Race, saving him a huge amount of money.

Just as he was thinking this, a muffled knocking sound suddenly came from the main doors again. The noisy crowd fell silent. The Law Enforcers looked over, and Elder Pence nodded to the guards.

The guards opened the great hall's doors once more, and a disheveled-looking Demon Hunter stumbled in.

Isabella's gaze sharpened. "Kendall, what happened to you?"

Kendall was from a collateral branch of the Beowulf Family. He had supported Jose in the struggle for the Patriarch position, and Isabella had found an excuse to send him away before the auction began.

And the Demon Hunter who had just entered was none other than Kendall.

Kendall looked panicked. Surrounded by guards, he came before Isabella and spoke in a tone of utter terror:
