A HELP IN DISGUISE
EVERYTHING is face-to-face.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW3UZeUhfh
Aldrich had the day off because it was Sunday. He had a late-night club meeting with a friend. He dressed, looking dashing in his black formal suit and a black bow on top of it. He took his car to the club.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVpgVsgOqi
Even though his expressive face was showing signs of sorrow, optimistic thinking was giving him a fresh sense of resolve and confidence that everything would revert to how it had been. He ruminated on the idea that all of his issues would trickle down like perspiration.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XDE45P1K2
He started looking for seat 14—where they were supposed to meet—as soon as he entered the club. He discovered the seat and noted that he had come before his friend. As he was certain that the guy would arrive, he sat down on the seat and diligently began to wait194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOloJrOjasn
. A waiter approached him while he was still waiting and asked,194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqgyobHZPs
"Sir, would you like to order something?" To which Aldrich answered,194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIYK57OAY1
"Two drip coffees."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD6Hbzjfrx
,"Got it." The waiter eventually left.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczt1FEMhqC
Aldrich had a practice of always carrying a book with him when he went to such locations to pass the time.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzEo5lRDDn
He pulled it out and started reading. He had been reading for a little more than two minutes when he felt a hand on the table. The desired individual was in front of him when he glanced up from the book and put it down.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA613TrsZcc
He was Rang-Ha, the leader of the Mist Mafia. Aldrich wanted to talk about all the fire that Rang-Ha had spread face-to-face, so he called him to this place. No one knew Rang-Ha by appearance, so Aldrich thought it would be better to call him somewhere informal so that nobody could doubt him. Rang-Ha, with an extremely clever look on his face, said,194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHDBncvVOs
"I am here, my friend."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcwafotXH7
"Have a seat.". Aldrich gently spoke, offering him the seat. Rang-Ha took his place, and then they both looked deeply into each other.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FT6yfyFMn
Aldrich believed it would be best to invite Rang-Ha somewhere casual so that no one could cast suspicion on them in order to discuss all the fire that Rang-Ha had spread face-to-face.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTkxEYAzPK
After Rang-Ha took his position, they exchanged intense eye contact.In each other's eyes, they both saw fire. In contrast to the commander of the White Fangs, the boss of the Mist Mafia appeared to be erupting in fiery fits of arrogance and evil, while Aldrich was emitting ashes of rage. The waiter who brought the coffee abruptly cut short the conversation by stating,194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgeFaqxpAX
"Your order, sir."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOF1VZoN4W
Following the waiter's departure, Aldrich placed the money on the menu and delivered it to him. Aldrich then started paying close attention to Rang-ha in order to untangle all the knotted threads. Aldrich inquired in a questioning tone,194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZcRTmQHaE
"Why?"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChN8xVUPBE
"You undoubtedly know the cause, Aldrich," Rang-Ha said as he took a sharp glance at him. "You are aware of my goals.And in order to succeed, I'll overcome any challenge that stands in my way.The White Fangs are my main issue. I'll use whatever means are at my disposal to try to ruin them."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03dhb63OJZ
"So you chose tricks to win," Aldrich replied.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNubGKjGIe
"The only thing that counts is winning, no matter what." Rang-ha answered.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GGDgEjGox
"You have shown how low and how far you can sink. So it stands to reason that I should use fire to put out fires."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIec2yOjC8V
,"Means?"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLIZwGF64T
"It means You remember the records and footage in which you and your group were seen killing German troops in order to assassinate the former Major Deltev Hans in Mitte, right?"
Rang-Ha was appalled to hear that Aldrich had evidence against him. He said in a startling tone,194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH7vsAIpTG
"How did you get it?"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEWseihjs1
"My comrades were recording all of that while you and your gang were busy doing that work," he continued. "I did it to make sure I always have a chance to defeat you. Your faces could clearly be seen in the video. The film was actually written down with the evidence in images and your entire details instead of being removed for security, and after seeing that, I believe the military won't hesitate to recognize you as Mist Mafia's members."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ryTkZzOIz
Rang-Ha was speechless at this point since he hadn't anticipated this kind of assault. The Lt. General went on,194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfD0gyuLrA
"I hope you wouldn't prefer everybody to reveal their identities, right?"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSorzzNNtH
"I believe you are forgetting that if I were discovered, I would also spit out everything I know about the White Fangs too", remarked Rang-Ha.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cXCDBoNHp
"Do as you please.If you want, you can tell them everything, but what then? We will be saved because I can show the military that we work for the good of the nation, thanks to witnesses and proof.How about you, though? You will all be done. Your life's purpose would be lost, which I don't believe you would desire."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8e3axcoywC
Aldrich's smile conveyed intense pride. Overall, Rang-Ha's grouped hopes dispersed into many concerns.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyxZXlTrmF
And since he had no hope left of defeating Aldrich, he agreed with him, then asked, "What do you want?"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNomd0BgAKb
"I want my Colonel back without any guilt hanging over her head." After giving it some thought, Rang-Ha said,194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwF3nX5aN2
"All right. I will send a witness for testimony in court and instruct him to claim that he is the guilty party and that he had set the entire trap, and then he would receive punishment rather than Lisa."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Zr2p2EvIg
"How will he prove it?"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9h597fyos
"False command from me."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnElsh5Ote
He is going to disclose that the Mist Mafia set this trap to kill the Colonel. I'll write him a letter with my signature and the Mafia's stamp telling him to do all of this. His remarks would be verified by the stamp."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVXVeMM2Yj
"I didn't know it was so simple", remarked Aldrich with a sigh.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjcGKwGoI1
"You've got me again, but keep in mind that I'll keep damaging you. I'll provide the witness, but I need the paperwork first."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFCCLnmIrb
"Remember," Aldrich said as he pulled the document out of his coat and handed it to Rang-Ha."No one could save you from my flames if you tried to play with me."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtHhvMK6Ef
"So Christoph sees you after your marriage", Aldrich stated as he rose up and turned to face him. He then changed his mood and offered him a handshake. Rang-Ha saw Jason's skepticism about their monitoring and, in response, shook his hand and politely said,194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2Fvv0SFr5
"See you soon, too." Aldrich then turned around and left.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKzrvEtbkT
THE OTHER PERSPECTIVE 194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOqdmQx1XB
In front of Leviathan, a man wearing a dark robe stood with his head bowed. In his seat atop his throne, Leviathan was They were at the Prime Minister's official residence in Copenhagen. Leviathan had a serious look on his face.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhcp32FADC
"My servant, it is time for you to take over someone's place," he said.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZjBjdFY1B
"Yes, my master", the individual said in a brash but frighteningly serious voice. "I'll make sacrifices and attempt to consume as many people as I can. For the devil and for you, my life is present."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueirwhFvfV
"Do your task as fast as you can, without letting anyone doubt you. Take control over everybody."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlK4esby0P
,"Yes Lord." The person bowed before leaving.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1QfQI1eMT
Standing up, Leviathan headed for the window. He thought to himself as he stared out at the view,194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8o7mGrSTq
"Germany, the state of unusual Now is the time to be devastated. Your destruction will start right now. Conflict, slaughter, and bloodshed—and Lisa, too. I'll get you back, sure. You may come back to me, and I'll teach you what it means to defy your brother. Simply wait and enjoy your life as much as you can before it becomes tough for you to even breathe."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cFzVtRzvl
The fire of brutality, violence, and retribution even burned his smallest vein, as Leviathan had lost every sense of emotion, and now his only desires were revenge and power.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00AfI2fCWd
CLUE194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8DTy7ggXi
Juvia entered Alvin's room when he was reading a book. She came racing in with a tight look on her face. When Alvin noticed her, he grew concerned and questioned her about why she was feeling so uneasy. Juvia then told him everything, including the murder and the Colonel's incarceration. Because he believed in the Colonel's innocence, he was horrified by these comments and wondered how they could have happened. Alvin declared,194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA3SjN2HmI
"This is a dangerous accusation against her with such clear proofs."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70LSB3WXv8
,"The Lt. General is in severe discomfort. Although he is portraying a confident attitude, I can see that he is actually quite anxious. Alvin..." Juvia responded, "I believe that now is the moment when he needs assistance." 194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7KziSVmuT
Alvin became lost in pondering. He stood up after giving it some thought and said,194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRazFguFWl
"I know how to help him." He quickly put on his clothing and headed in the direction of Mansion 1241.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoqJreXqCH
When they both got there, they discovered that German troops had encircled the residence. The soldier stopped Alvin and Juvia as they tried to enter, stating, Captain, you cannot go in."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgCGQmT9zd
"Why?" questioned Alvin.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdGNeXsHmC
"The Lt. General has ordered that no one should be allowed to go in." 194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsrmWa8s9P
,"I'm not here as a captain but as the son of the President. Let me go inside. I will talk to the Lt. General myself." 194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1NmI5bjOe
The soldier moved away even though he was still confused by what Alvin said since he knew that opposing him would result in trouble. The Valiant Kin entered. The pair entered the chamber where the professor was killed. The area didn't appear to have been disrupted by a struggle or resistance. His body's shape was traced on the ground where he had been resting. In front of the window, the professor had been lying down.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAUqrsd1OE
Alvin sat down to study the outline, then peered out the window. He could see the mansion in front of it. He added, 194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU6M27MqSQ
"I'm getting a clue. Juvia, first we've got to see his body," he said while he was processing everything in his head. 194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6jylz5bz5
Juvia followed her brother despite not knowing what he was considering. Alvin got to his feet, and they left the mansion together. "Where is the Professor's body?" Alvin inquired before departing, to which the soldier replied,194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs397XRwlD
"He is currently in the Military's laboratory."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV60wS91Knp
,"Of central Headquarters?"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A6F7PDnea
," Yes, Captain." Alvin and Juvia then headed towards the headquarters office.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DraX2kgEN
SOMETHING IS REVOLVING IN HIS MIND 194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNnPDhonx2
The Valiant Kin entered the laboratory where Professor Tobias Tilman's corpse was housed. Erhard Yannik, a professor whom Aldrich regarded as a faithful friend and whom Alvin could trust, was now in charge of it.The dead body was dressed in white when he arrived. 194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbF9DTPrMA
"Professor Erhard,", Alvin inquired, "Can you tell me what weapon was used to murder him."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmxrN1dJoM
"He received a bullet wound to the head." 194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L7SXKvmaI
,"Can I have a look at that?"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JK8mrCe37
The bullet, which was wrapped in plastic, was given to Alvin by the professor. Alvin grabbed it and remarked, 194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1t4AKbqNB
"Professor, If I'm correct, the bullet was fired by a sniper."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bhRIuAjKr
,"Yes, you are correct", the professor responded.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIMj3IL3NM
"And do you have the gun Lisa had on her when she was in the mansion?"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTt9aeixYb
,"Yes, I have."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7VLpvlijQ
,"She was carrying two guns at the time, a Glock 42 and a Glock 19, as well as refillable ammunition", the professor said, showing Alvin the weapons and telling him that she had nothing more than that. 194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPXqRSOS6r
Alvin paused to reflect for a moment before responding, 194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08nErQOPyT
"Professor, Please bring these materials to court on the scheduled day."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNtd3y6Xmd
The professor questioned Richter,194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxQhVct5pK
"All right, but what are you thinking to do, young Richter?"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjuUjcppUq
,"You'll know at the right time." 194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRE9NMrEu9
They left after that. Alvin instructed Juvia to examine even the dust in Professor Tobias' room when they returned to Mansion 1241. Alvin said that he had something essential to do when Juvia asked him what he was going to do. 194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL02RxTMHcM
THE CONFLICT BETWEEN TRUTH AND LIES194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5x120e9hX
The day of the court began. There were all of the witnesses in attendance. Lisa was occupying the criminal's area. Alongside the judge, juries were appointed. There were also the Valiant Kin, Edgar, the President, Major General Valarico, and Jason Aldrich. The trial started.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtJ8fyr1hA
"Colonel Lisa Bernstein has been accused of killing Professor Tobias Tilman in his own residence, the judge declared. Lisa's expression was serene, and her eyes were lowered since she was aware that justice always triumphs over cruelty. The judge proceeded, 194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAHelsy48S
"The evidence that shows that she is the killer is the fact that the Major General was informed by a source supplied by the Gestapo's Chief that the Professor was going to be assassinated on the specified day and when the Major got there to secure the Professor. He spotted the Colonel there, which meant she was the murderer. Please provide evidence if any part of this assertion is incorrect."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tMzhocMho
Aldrich raised his hand suddenly, and the Judge let him speak:194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHsSuEd1oC
"I asked the Gestapo's chief, and he told me that he had sent no one and he had no connection with this matter, which means the person sent was lying or the Major General is pretending."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIUMc1zWSK
"Let's say one of them is lying, but it won't change anything I said before. The murder took place exactly at the time and day specified. We'll figure it out later, but for the moment, we're wondering: What was the Colonel doing there? How was she able to predict that the murder would take place? Therefore, she committed his murder herself."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dwm2lJH9y
"I had been receiving letters regarding the murder for nearly a week, so I was unable to remain calm."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfN99stOCD
The Colonel herself demonstrated, "I just tried to save the Professor because I thought there would be some kind of truth in it."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsbBlHtBut
The judge questioned, "Do you have those letters?".194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXdNhnPyy0
,"The Lt. General has them."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOWKGdORU6
The judge received the letters from the Lt. General. The judge examined them before asking,194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDCmBY915r
"If I'm right, then these stamps belong to the Mist Mafia?"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshbGv8c78e
Aldrich gave his response, "Exactly." 194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX4PPagDW0
After giving it some thought, the presiding judge gave a directive to call in the witness who had been waiting outside and wished to speak on the topic. Aldrich realized that, according to their arrangement, he must be the one sent by Rang-Ha. The stranger seemed quite terrified when he entered. 194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOneJQN2xPa
He was trembling, and his hands were shaking continuously. His feelings were deeply moved by fear. He stared at Aldrich as he walked in and became frightened even more. The judge questioned him over his intended declaration. He initially collected himself and started to calm down. 194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlovBK8yci
He spoke tremblingly while gesturing down at the ground and said, "I'm a witness that..." The judge instructed the man, saying, 194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoMG2WPZDR
"Mister, please say everything without hesitation and be confident about it."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvIUBj9iVw
The man first ceased stuttering and speaking. As everyone waited impatiently to hear what he would say, the guy suddenly pulled his head up and screamed crazily, "I am the witness that the killer is Aldrich. He threatened me! He put it on me! He warned me about my life! All of this was done by him! He is the assassin! For stating that I am the responsible party, he tormented me. He coerced me into confessing that I was the murderer in order to save the Colonel! Please, Mr. Judge, save me!I told you all of this so that justice might be served. I'll be killed by this man. Help me! This dreadful killer would murder me too, exactly like he murdered the Professor!"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyUFADlput
,"What awful things are you saying?" Aldrich sprang to his feet in a fit of rage and disbelief.
"Do you know about whom you are speaking?" Everyone in the room was startled. Their senses had all been on high alert. Aldrich was instructed to calm down by the judge since he was not permitted to interfere with the trial in this way. Aldrich sat back because he had no other option.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCJDSKEzim
His fury was visible in the coldness on his face. The defendant was required by the judge to provide documentation in support of his claims, so he provided the judge with a letter in which Aldrich threatened and commanded him to make the claims. The judge questioned the man about how he could think that the Lt. General would have authored this letter. 194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXe1LewmD8C
So he offered the judge a little ornament and stated, "With this letter, he sent this ornament so that I would believe the one who wrote to me was the Lt. General." Aldrich was shown the ornament by the judge and asked if it belonged to him or not. And to Aldrich's great surprise, it was his. 194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhsKubMxyB
He initially became confused, wondering how his possessions got here, as he had usually kept them in his drawers. He acknowledged that it was his, but he didn't acknowledge that he had written the letter. After a brief period of silence, the judge seriously declared,194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQgUxacz7l
"It is apparent that Lisa Bernstein, our Colonel, was the killer based on all the evidence provided in court and the statements of the perpetrators. Lt. General Jason Aldrich is the one who ordered the murder. In light of the circumstances, there would be a few more investigations before their penalty would be determined, but until then, they would remain behind bars." 194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe04g3TESo6
Aldrich's emotions were boiling madly inside of him, and he wanted to shout out all he could, but he restrained himself since doing so would force him to conceal his fury. When the judge again inquired whether anyone had anything to say, a hand suddenly rose from the rear. The tribunal acknowledged it and responded, "Yes, Mr. Alvin, you can say what you want." 194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx82wWLHOss
Everyone, including Aldrich, turned to face him. Alvin got to his feet and began to speak, saying, 194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZY6dIjV5S4
"I want to state some words and proofs that would declare that the Lt. General and the Colonel are innocent and that the one who is guilty is the Mist Mafia." Aldrich wasn't sure whether to let him meddle or not, but something kept telling him that Alvin would be a parable whose message would be clear to everybody.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6p29KPRMP
"Is he a help in disguise", Aldrich wondered in his head. 194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTJFO7y4q5
