Chapter 832 Kill Her
After Harringfort transferred to another room, he immediately called someone from the Spectre to report the things that had transpired earlier.
"Why didn't you inform me about this before you decided to blow up something!" The man on the other line yelled when he heard Harringfort's words. "What the hell is wrong with you!? How could you risk exposure!?"
"Calm down. We didn't put a bomb or anything like that. We only blew up the fuse of the whole park. My plan was only to warn them by cutting off the electricity for the whole park to scare that old woman. I wanted to warn Claude and Madam Luo that we were always watching them."
He heard the man heaved a sigh of relief. "Casualties?" he asked after a few seconds of silence.
"Two died." Harringfort said, his face grim. "That person that you asked to always accompany the old woman is too stupid. Did she really think that Lily was that stupid to just believe her words?"
"But didn't they detect her leaving the palace?"
Harringfort's mood only worsened. "Who knows where she is right now! Lily was cunning! She must have wanted us to believe that she would go to the park or at least wait somewhere!"
A sigh escaped the man's lips. "Leave Luxembourg. You got too careless." The man said. In response, Harringfort frowned. The man's voice sounded calm— too calm that he immediately sensed something wrong with the current situation. How could someone who was so angry earlier be this calm a few minutes after? "Why?" Harringfort asked.
"Zhou Jingren must have been waiting for this opportunity to tell Lily about us."
"What?" Harringfort asked, confused.
"Lily knows that we exist now. You were wrong. Zhou Jingren must have told her about us, about the Spectre. Now… she wants to talk to the old woman and find out about her grandmother's death. I have already instructed my men to kill Madam Luo."
"I thought—"
"She and that grandson of hers will die. They need to. Those two are loose ends. Claude didn't report anything about Lily's visit. However, we received some information that the older woman kept on talking about ghosts. She kept on talking about us. She needs to disappear from the world."
According to the information that Harringfort had, Claude had contacted the organization through Mr. Neeson because of his grandmother's claims. He begged the order not to kill his grandmother. In return, he would keep watch over his grandmother and would give the order everything that she had on them. The young man had said that his grandmother was already suffering from Alzheimer's. She would not remember anything, anytime soon. He even promised that if his grandmother remembered something, anything, he would kill her in her sleep.
For some reason, Claude was able to convince the order to let Madam Luo live, despite her learning about the organization. Harringfort could not understand why the organization didn't just kill Claude and Madam Luo— something that Harringfort would have done when he came to know about this.
Sadly, the order only informed him about this when he was on his way to Luxembourg. Because of this Harringfort suspected that Madam Luo was hiding something— something that the order needed from her. Harringfort believed that the order must have used this opportunity to get close to Madam Luo under the pretense of guarding her.
But what could that be?
What could be so valuable that would make those cunning men would risk exposing the organization's existence for? Harringfort frowned. "I can do it. I can end both of them—"
"No!" the man on the other line hissed. "What nonsense are you talking about? I want you to follow my words. Leave that goddamn place and avoid Lily and Zhou Jingren's men. Our people will soon approach Lily and bring her over to our side."
Side? Harringfort's frown deepened. Did this mean that there was another side?
"Stop asking questions and just do as I say." The man said before ending the call without waiting for his response.
For a few seconds, Harringfort froze. Why does it seem that they were panicking? Was he missing some crucial piece of information? At this point, Harringfort was becoming even more confused. Just what is happening? He couldn't help but asked himself what was wrong with Lily knowing now.
While this was against their law, it was obvious that they treated Lily as if she was really important in this organization. Moreover, she was already twenty eight years old. So what if she came to know about them? Harringfort clenched his jaws.
Something was definitely wrong! After a few seconds, he called his right hand man.
"Yi. Where is Madam Luo now?"
"Our people are following her towards the market."
"And Lily?"
"Our people have spotted her car on the way out of Luxembourg."
Harringfort frowned. "Asked them to kill the old woman. Make it look like a robbery. Lily is too smart for her own good. We can't risk it." Despite not knowing the real reason behind the council's reactions, Harringfort would still do everything that he could to protect their secret. He would do his job now and ask questions later.
"Master… how about her grandson?"
"Some people are already on their way to kill him." He answered. Despite the higher up, telling him to leave Luxembourg, Harringfort had decided to stay. He needed to know the truth, even if that meant him not following their order.

"Seems that you were right." Zhou Jingren said as he ended the call with Qin Yuanfeng. "The old woman is on her way towards the market."
Lily only smiled in response. She had guessed that something was wrong with that letter. First, this was supposed to be a secret meeting. Meaning, the older woman would leave her place secretly. She then considered the older woman's way of transportation. Surely, she could not drive or rent a taxi and risk exposing her current location.
Meaning… it should be something near her house. A place where her grandson would not search for her.
