In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

But even so, she underestimated Maria's keen perception.

Not long after she arrived, Maria revealed her existence.

This made her extremely embarrassed.

"Don't be so nervous... I don't mind any of this."

Maria shook her head, and the words she uttered made the other party feel much more at ease.

Maria actually didn't care much about whether she was being monitored.

As long as the other party is careful about the limits, it will be fine.

She was actually quite curious about what she had done when the Lord of the Banshee Court revealed her identity to make the other party so alert.

According to others, in the Gray Hall, Lady Sicily was the one who devised the plan, while Father Agnel was the weapon that suppressed everything.

From this point of view, the opponent's strength is estimated to be not low.

But is it possible that such a person would be afraid of me?

Although in terms of strength, he may indeed be stronger than everyone in this world combined, but for those who don't know the true situation, the comparison method is still useless.

What big thing did she do to make the other party so afraid of her?

So much so that even when I said I wouldn't do anything, the other party still took the risk of sending people to monitor me...

While Maria was thinking, the Sakota woman here let out a long sigh.

It was best that Maria didn't get angry.

After all, she also took into account the abilities that both sides had shown now.

Obviously, with her level, it is almost impossible to monitor the other party without being discovered.

On the contrary, being more frank can win you many opportunities.

And that is exactly what is happening.

If she had continued to hide it, she might have really angered Maria.

But after she directly explained her origins and purpose, Maria accepted her openly...

This matter has indeed become a lot easier.

Of course, Maria's generosity is not completely unconditional.

She had something she wanted to ask the girl.

She looked at the relaxed-looking Sakota girl and asked again.

"How's the situation in Grey Hall?"

"Ok?"

"You should be aware of the family's actions, right? How are the preparations now?"

Maria had already learned from Salvatore that the family was ready to take action against the Gray Hall.

It was simply because Lateran was not compliant that their actions were frequently obstructed.

But it is foreseeable that the family will never give up.

These families controlled by wolf packs naturally have the characteristics of wolves.

They would never submit to the hands of the Sicilian lady.

The Wolf Lord that Maria met in the Bellone family during the day was, after all, just a special case.

And this is also due to Maria's own strong foundation.

And Lady Sicily... definitely doesn't have this ability.

They will definitely fight back.

But the question is how prepared Gray Hall is.

Do they have what it takes to quell the family's madness?

Should I...take action?

She cares a lot about this.

Chapter 220 Family Dinner

"There are preparations here in Gray Hall, but they're not ready yet."

After a moment's silence, the Sakota woman raised her head, faced Maria, and said something incoherent.

But then, when Maria was waiting for the other party to say something else, she closed her mouth.

"I'm sorry, you're a little too close to the family. Although from a personal perspective, I'd like to believe that you have no connection to the family, but even if there's even the slightest risk, I can't tell you."

Although Sakota women look carefree, they are actually very considerate.

I was willing to tell Maria that I was monitoring her just now because she knew it very well, and the result would be the same whether I said it or not.

The worst result is that you will be affected.

But the question Maria asked now was related to the most important strategic deployment of the family and the Gray Hall.

No matter how big her heart was, she didn't dare to spit it out casually.

Even if Maria wants to do something to herself because of this, the result will be the same!

If you want to hit me, go ahead. I won’t say anything anyway!

"……I see."

Seeing the look on the Sakta girl's face, Maria knew that continuing to ask would lead to no results.

It's not necessary to ruin the relationship between two people just for a few pieces of information.

So she just nodded and turned away.

"Then let's change the question... How much do you know about the family's arrangements?"

"family?"

When the Sakota girl heard Maria ask this question, she was also stunned.

However, as long as Maria doesn't ask about the arrangements in the Gray Hall, everything will be fine.

"As for the family, from what I've heard, they might not be very peaceful..."

The woman touched her lips with her white fingers, thought for a moment, and then spoke again.

"They initially wanted to communicate with Lateran and tried to expel us, but the Pope refused. But they don't seem to have given up on this idea yet."

"They are still preparing to drive us out of Syracuse. These days, we have encountered many places that show obvious hostility towards us Sakota people."

"We've discovered that there's a strange, hostile atmosphere towards the Laterans surging in Syracuse today."

"We currently estimate that the family intends to proactively provoke a war between Syracuse and Lateran, and then expel us from the country through diplomatic means."

Having said this, the woman's brows furrowed.

Obviously, this idea is a bit crazy, but it can indeed achieve the family's goal.

You know, although the Lateran has strong combat power, it never takes the initiative to provoke a war. At that time, even if Syracuse and Lateran go to war, the Lateran people will most likely not take the initiative to attack.

Instead, they will take the initiative to evacuate the citizens of Lateran.

Although those present could see that all this was a family conspiracy, the Laterans would not refuse the country's orders.

This would be a very bad situation for Mrs. Sicily.

Although the Grey Hall has been working hard to recruit non-Latlan citizens to join the Inquisitors in recent years, it is still unlikely that this accumulated power can fight against the entire Twelve Families of Syracuse.

Therefore, during this period they have been trying their best to avoid taking the initiative and not giving the other side an excuse to start a war.

But this situation cannot continue forever.

So, relatively speaking, their situation is passive.

The only thing to be thankful for was that the stereotype of the Lateran people helped them at this time.

Although women are not very willing to accept the public's impression of the old-fashioned image of a serious, honest and old-fashioned person like a primary school teacher.

But it has to be said that this kind of image does have a market among the general public.

After all, many people have become accustomed to the Sakotas from the Lateran Notary Office ruling on various matters for them.

But... people always change.

God knows how long this situation can last.

Thinking of this, the Sakota woman couldn't help but sigh.

Meanwhile, Maria's eyes narrowed sharply.

"Where's the Wolf Lord?"

"Um?!"

The Sakota woman was stunned for a moment, but after a moment, she reacted.

Anyone who is valued by Father Agnier would naturally know about the magical existence of the Beast Master.

Maria's question was not a casual one.

but……

"We don't know." The Sakota woman shrugged, looking helpless.

"We don't know where those Wolf Lords are or what they intend to do... Even if we knew, we wouldn't have any way to deal with them."

This is also their helplessness.

Of course they knew that the Wolf Lord was behind the family... To be honest, when they first arrived, no one had much confidence.

After all, no one knows how Father Agnier plans to deal with those ancient lives.

But in the end, they still managed to gain a foothold in Syracuse as if by miracle...

Even now, many people find it hard to imagine how they got through it.

They didn't even know what Father Agnel and Lady Sicily had said to the Wolf Lord that made them stay out of these things.

But... it is certain that the situation where the Wolf Lord did not participate is a thing of the past.

This time, the battle will completely determine whether Syracuse is controlled by the Gray Hall or the family, and the Wolf Lord will definitely end up in it!

By then, it will be hard to say who will win or lose.

"..."

Maria didn't say anything, but just sat there silently with a frown on her face.

Wolf Lord?

……

At night, the moon gradually rises.

Today's Syracuse is destined to be an inevitable night.

As time passed, Maria's figure gradually appeared in front of some people. Some people only knew that a strange guy appeared in the territory of the Bellone family.

And those who know his true identity...

Already sweating profusely.

And right now.

Inside the Saluzzo family estate.

The bright hall has been carefully decorated, and the young members of the family are happily socializing, with no idea about the future of Syracuse.

The elderly people who actually made the decisions were on the second floor, having a meal and talking slowly.

"Saluzzo... your foie gras is as bad as ever."

Salvatore sat at the round table in the center and wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin.

Although what he said was unpleasant, in fact, he was the one who ate the cleanest food on his plate.
