My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 55 The most terrifying enemy is the one hiding in the dark

Headquarters of the General Supervision Administration.

A tall blond man walked towards his office with a tired look on his face.

The collar buttons of his navy blue shirt had long been unbuttoned, and the thin white tie hung loosely in front of the shirt. A black windbreaker was draped over his left hand.

If it weren't for the long sword hanging at his waist and the terrifying aura emanating from his entire body, anyone would probably think that he was just an ordinary, tired middle-aged office worker.

"Commander, the Grand Duke is here again... We can't stop him."

Seeing the blond man coming, a staff member of the General Inspection Bureau walked towards him with an apologetic look on his face.

"...I understand. Let me handle it."

"As for you, your work objectives remain the same: maintaining basic law and order in the capital."

"Her Royal Highness has been facing numerous assassination attempts lately."

"Even though they're all minor characters who can't be mentioned on the stage... we still have to be mindful of their impact."

"That group of people is becoming increasingly unrestrained. Although the General Administration maintains a neutral stance, there are some things that cannot be crossed."

"Dare to collude with the Chaos Brotherhood. This is no longer an ordinary noble. We must strike hard."

"Yes, Director Caifas." The staff member responded quickly, then turned and left to deliver the message on behalf of the director.

As his men left, Caiaphas shook his head, sighed softly, and walked towards his office.

It seems that I am still too naive.

I thought I could stay out of it by staying neutral, but I was repeatedly accused of being a bargaining chip.

Whether it was the princess, or the Grand Duke of Wellington who broke into his office, or even the little prince who everyone thought had no chance of becoming emperor, they all sent people to try to contact him.

As expected... I'm still not good at politics.

Or it is more suitable for me to kill people.

With this thought in mind, he pushed open the door of his office amidst the shouts of "Hello, Director" from his subordinates.

An old man with elegant clothes and extraordinary temperament was sitting upright in a chair in front of his desk.

He is a very meticulous person, and just by looking at him you can tell that he is a serious and difficult guy to get along with.

"Your Excellency, I believe I have made my position clear before."

"The Schiller family will not take sides. The General Supervisory Bureau will act as a neutral force to maintain law and order in the capital and even the empire."

"in addition……"

Caiaphas threw his windbreaker onto the hanger beside him, then took off his tie and held it in his hand.

"I remember I said that you, old man, are not allowed to enter any territory belonging to the Schiller family, right?"

"Or do you think I can't hold the sword anymore?"

The Duke of Wellington rose from his chair. "It was nothing more than a misunderstanding between families. Are you still upset about it? Don't forget that according to blood ties, you should call me uncle."

"A misunderstanding? You call stripping my brother of his honor, accusing him of treason, leading to his suicide, and assassinating his descendants, leaving the family without descendants, a misunderstanding?"

Caiaphas laughed, and the whole office was instantly filled with a faint golden light.

"You took advantage of my brother's suicide and my father's grave illness to steal our family's fame and honor, claiming yourself to be the most suitable heir to the title of Iron Duke."

"Oh, how ridiculous. Someone who plays tricks and schemes is also qualified to call himself the descendant of the Iron Duke?"

"If I hadn't returned from the Far North Snowfields just in time and stormed into the National Council, scaring you insects, the family's reputation would have truly been yours, just as you wished."

"Why? Are you jealous that your grandfather didn't choose to hand over the inheritance to you?"

"You think my father doesn't deserve this honorable title? You think you're the only one who deserves it?"

The light in the room grew brighter and brighter, and the hem of the Duke of Wellington's clothes began to burn, but he still looked at Caiaphas calmly.

"But as you said, you are indeed my uncle. Before your true face was exposed, I respected you from the bottom of my heart."

"The last three seconds."

"Get out of here." "You know why the General Inspectorate remains neutral."

"You should also know why I didn't choose to kill all of you."

Grand Duke Wellington was silent for a moment, then walked away from Caiaphas.

Not a word.

Indeed, he knew very well why the General Inspectorate remained neutral.

It's simply because Caifas is the director.

A being who alone is enough to rival a Lord of the Demonic Court, a powerful being whose strength far exceeds that of an ordinary ninth-rank legend, and who is qualified to remain neutral in this political vortex.

But when he reached the door, he turned around and said, "I'll come again."

"If you come again..."

Caiaphas was not polite at all. He pulled out the sword from his waist at a speed that was completely invisible to the naked eye, and then placed it on the Duke of Wellington's neck.

"I won't think about the bigger picture or the family honor."

"Besides, there are some things that are bottom line. You know what I mean."

"The General Inspectorate will work with the military's Hatter to clean up the Chaos Brotherhood in the Royal Capital."

Grand Duke Wellington was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Do you really want to stand against us?"

"How?" Caiaphas exerted a little force with the sword in his hand, and a line of blood appeared on the neck of Grand Duke Wellington.

Grand Duke Wellington: "..."

……

In the carriage, a mysterious man covered in a black robe looked at the defeated Grand Duke of Wellington and laughed.

"I've already told you that you can't possibly convince him. Honestly, I'm actually a little impressed by the director. He was so magnanimous as to let you leave the General Inspection Bureau alive."

Grand Duke Wellington snorted coldly: "Hmph, it doesn't matter. He is just one of the destabilizing factors affecting the plan, not even the biggest one."

"If it weren't for that kid named Roland, Iluvia would have died in that test long ago."

"I've mobilized all my resources and planted four fifth-ring and one sixth-ring assassin in the assessment. It should have been foolproof!"

The mysterious man also laughed: "You should also know that the combat effectiveness of a witch before being promoted to the extraordinary level can never be judged simply by her rank."

"What's more, that boy's unique technique makes up for the princess's only two weaknesses—casting range and agility."

"And if she kills even one of the killers, you know what the consequences will be."

"They will only become like the current group of high-ranking military officials, becoming the princess's puppets and, in turn, her power."

Grand Duke Wellington looked at the mysterious man and said, "There's nothing more to say at this point. This guy must die. I'm not in a position to intervene in matters like this. It's up to you."

"Also, your actions have been discovered. The Hatter has informed the Inspectorate General of this matter, and a search will be launched soon."

The mysterious man chuckled. "You want us to do things, but you also want us to be careful... Forget it, you're the employer after all."

"Don't worry, the Chaos Brotherhood is omnipresent. It's just a matter of dealing with a small magician with three rings."

"Also, the Blood Demon Prince has withdrawn from the operation. It seems he was frightened by something."

"It seems your intelligence isn't always accurate."

"That legendary elf magician might be more terrifying than you think."

"Of course, if the trick that scared off that Blood Demon Prince wasn't done by that elf, you should be even more careful."

"The most terrifying enemy is the one hiding in the shadows."
