Chapter 1516: Deception

Alexej was stupefied because this was the reality he had to accept. His son actually died in the same way as Richard.

"This is…" Everyone who could see the picture on the ground sucked a cold breath. If a normal person saw this picture, they would think this was karma. The Lexon Group seemed to be involved, so his son paid the retribution.

With the loss of his son, the Empress would surely stop joining hands with him, and she would protect Alea from the Griffith Family. In other words, not only could he lose the Empress' support, but he also betrayed the promise to the Griffith Family's Theodore Griffith.

However, Alexej had a different thought. After all, Yermolayev couldn't kill his son that easily, considering he was protected by bodyguards.

And with how the wounds were similar to Richard's, it was clear that the culprit was the same.

Magic Saint Fist Style.

That one thought was presented in everyone's mind at this time. In other words, the Griffith Family was truly the culprit. Since Ricky was one of the people involved in this matter, the Griffith Family tried to remove him so that no one would tell the truth.

After all, Ricky was going to be interrogated by the union. This would cause a lot of trouble. Hence, the Griffith Family removed him to make sure no one said anything. As for Yermolayev, he couldn't say anything because his family would get involved and punished for his action as well. Hence, only Ricky died in this incident.

The room fell silent as the tension rose exponentially.

Only Leonardo maintained his calmness this whole time. In fact, he felt a bit nostalgic when looking at this scene.

A certain memory couldn't help but flash in his mind. Back then, he was playing a real life simulation game with Theo.

After placing his piece, he declared with a smug smile. "I think I've won, Theo."

"No, it's my win, Sir Leonardo." Theo shook his head with a calm expression.

"Huh? What do you mean? I have clearly gotten rid of the remaining members. With this kind of force, the only thing I have to do is to kill the rest of the people."

"Are you sure? Please look at it again, especially my pieces."

"Huh?" Leonardo was confused and looked at it again. The two pieces that had been acting as Theo himself and his clone were separated completely. There should be nothing he could do even if he recalled the clone since he could simply counter his move next.

But there was something that caught his eye. "Wait, this is…"

Theo and his clones might be separated, but it wasn't a normal separation. It looked like Theo had abandoned the head of the group he was trying to fight for and fled to other places, but these places were actually nearby parties who remained neutral this whole time.

Since they had been taking turns for quite a while, it could reflect hours or even days. At that time, Theo finally understood what Theo had been planning to do. "Wait a minute. You're using your illusion to trick those two so that they join the battlefield?"

Theo smiled. "Although these two are neutral in this battle, they're fighting against each other for supremacy. The fact that you're going to exterminate this group means these two can take this chance to devour them. In other words, they're planning to fish in the troubled water.

"I simply have to give them a chance to fight each other. There are multiple ways that I can use it, but I'll give you three simple examples. The first will be sowing discord like their members are killing each other. The second example is to set up a rumor. I can simply spread the information about the other party going to make a move right now and vice versa. Although they won't participate in the battle, if I spread the word to them at the same time as a part of the information, I can make them meet your party, causing a huge battle.

"Of course, I can also use your party to trick them into thinking you're going to be the overlord and no one shall be able to stand close to you." Theo smiled.

"But if you want to imitate someone, you have to impersonate someone important. Obviously, you have to understand their living situation, how they act, and especially their power… No, wait. Are you telling me…"

Theo smiled. "I have enough information after a few days, so all I need to take care of is their power. I can simply impersonate them if that's the only hurdle. That's why I won this time."

"…" Leonardo pinched the bridge of his nose. Leonardo and Theo had different styles. Leonardo would work together with the organization he was working for and create a concrete plan for victory. His way was solid and stable, which was hard to beat.

However, Theo's way of thinking came in the form of absurdness. He took advantage of his clone and the unfavorable situation to make the enemy not think much about him. In fact, Theo had been lowering Leonardo's guard by directing him to the battle between the two influences instead of him.

Remembering that battle, Leonardo couldn't help but recall his grandson. He realized that both Richard and Ricky were Theo and his clone. The fact that Theo could cover up his Magic Power meant he could become an ordinary person and mingle with the others while setting up his own illusion.

Then, the last thing that Leonardo had to answer was the purpose of Theo's plan. It was clearly directed to the Griffith Family and the Lexon Group, but he certainly thought this wasn't the only concerned party.

He glanced at the UK's representative and widened his eyes in realization. The guy said earlier that both Ricky and Yermolayev were suspicious and had to be taken into custody.

It meant Yermolayev was involved in this matter, and there was one reason why Yermolayev would be involved.

Without hesitation, Leonardo stood up and looked at Flora. "With this situation, we have to secure the witness immediately, including Yermolayev and his family. We can't allow the culprit to remove the next person, so I'm asking for your authority to bring Yermolayev and the Czar to my family because I can provide them with enough security. I will also conduct the interrogation myself."
