Becoming The Villain's Family

Chapter 172

Garcia.

‘They were invited as a distinguished guest to Garcia.’

Aria was convinced as soon as she heard those words.

‘I wondered why the lord is passive in clearing out the bandits…….’

She dismissed it as a simple lack of ability, but there was a reason.

In the first place, the lord, the temple, and the bandits were intertwined with each other because of their shared interests.

‘The temple told the bandits to get things and sell them to the auction house.’

Why did they make such an unreasonable request?

The conclusion was one. They intended to obscure the item’s path through the auction.

How and by whom the auctioned items fell is kept strictly confidential. It was common for even the Emperor to not know about the distribution and sales routes of items sold at auctions.

‘In this situation, seeing that the lord was happy that the bandits were cleared, it means that the bandits’ role is over.’

There is a high probability that the item has already left the bandits’ hands and is on the auction house. So Viscount Norton was safely invited to Garcia and was able to stay there as a distinguished guest.

‘He didn’t care whether he betrayed his country and went into exile to another country.’

In the meantime, Aria didn’t want to reveal her power, so she had to sit by the sidelines, but if it’s an item that needs such a cumbersome path…….

She thought she should know what that thing was.

– Lloyd, ask what’s going on. Be respectful and polite.

Lloyd, who was silent for a moment at Aria’s message, then spoke.

“What are you going to do in Garcia…?”

It was a tone that could hardly fall into the respectful category because he spoke so pressuredly.

Viscount Norton looked sourly at Lloyd for a moment.

‘Maybe I’m mistaken.’

He seemed to be thinking the same thing.

“You don’t need to know the details. If you escort my family, I’ll pay you.”

– Aria, it’s better to deal with them now…….

– Lloyd, bear with it.

She can see why this reckless family was driven out to the outskirts. Because they didn’t have a clue even at the most crucial moment.

Aria swallowed a sigh and organized her thoughts.

And for a moment she gazed at Viscount Norton’s son, Young Lord Norton.

He must have been staring at Aria from the beginning, that as soon as their eyes met, his face burned.

‘Hmm…… You seem to have something to say.’

For some reason, she had a foreboding that if the conversation ended like this he would run after her.

After thinking about it for a moment, she asked Lloyd through the message.

– In the lord’s castle, where is the most remote place where the voice cannot reach?

“What is the object requested by the temple?”

Aria asked Young Lord Norton, who had hazy eyes.

As expected, he fell nicely into the trap. Wherever she went, he followed her without a doubt.
