The warden who guards the witches

The next day, Rose Iron Prison.

Aiden brought Sophie Carter to the meeting room and briefly explained the results of yesterday's battle to her.

"... I had someone hand over Joey Lawson to the Witch Gathering. Even if your organization wants to sell you out now, it can't find a buyer. The crisis for you and your friends should be resolved now." Aiden said slowly, "Smiling Balance will not know this news immediately, but it should be a matter of time."

"Thank you very much..." Sophie bowed her head.

"No need to thank me, just remember the reward I mentioned before." Aiden raised his hand to signal the other party not to be polite.

"Of course, I will tell you everything you want to know." Sophie nodded, "Besides that, I can guarantee that your information will not be leaked."

"Before that, I want to know something about your organization." Aiden said, "How much do you know about the core power holder of your organization?"

"The core controller?" Sophie was stunned, obviously quite surprised by Aiden's question, "I really don't know about this. Susan and I basically communicate with the organization through our "manager." "

"The butler?" Aiden frowned slightly.

"Yes. As far as I feel..." Sophie thought for a while, "Smiling Balance is not like a "kingdom" directly ruled by a single power holder, but more like a company. There are superiors and subordinates here, there are special rules and regulations, all actions are for the purpose of "profit", and the decisions conveyed to us are basically free of personal emotions."

"In other words, the core decision-making layer is not just one person, but a community of interests? Like a board of directors?"

"At least that's what I think." Sophie said confidently.

Aiden also had this feeling. The action plan of the Smiling Balance was completely different from those individuals who pursued power. They had no ambition to pursue power.

Even the "Goddess of Conspiracy" had the intention to seize the power of "hatred" and ascend to the spiritual throne.

If the core of the organization had the intention to become a god, they should earn as much divinity as possible and let the divinity be enriched within the organization. At the same time, after collecting the intelligence of the only authority, they would never let others know easily.

But this organization seemed to prefer to let the divinity be constantly transferred between individuals outside the organization in the struggle, and then they would reap and profit from it. As for the intelligence of the only authority, as long as someone could afford it, they would sell it without hesitation.

They didn't seem to be very interested in the seat of God, but they obviously felt that those who were fighting for the throne of God were profitable.

It was unlikely that Melissa was leading this organization behind the scenes, but she was likely to use this organization from the side.

"You said that all your communication with the organization was through your superior, that is, the butler." Aiden asked another question, "That means that the butler also knows all the information you know?"

"Yes. The information that we receptionists have obtained from customers is basically reported, and the superiors will occasionally inform us of the information obtained by other receptionists. Receptionists of the same level cannot exchange information casually except for the information that is allowed to be shared." Sophie explained.

"So he will only know more information than you, not less than you?" Aiden asked.

"Of course." Sophie didn't quite understand why Aiden cared so much about this matter.

"Then the instructions for you to approach Joey Lawson were also issued through the butler?" Aiden asked again.

"Yes."

"Did you feel anything wrong in the process of approaching Joey Lawson?" Aiden continued to ask.

"What do you mean by wrong?"

"For example, has Joey's attitude changed in any unusual way?" Aiden reminded.

Sophie thought about it, and after Aiden reminded her, she quickly remembered: "Yes! When we first tried to contact each other, his attitude towards me was actually very cold. But the second time, he became... inexplicably very enthusiastic, and it was at that time that he began to claim to be my fan. It was because of this that the organization completely handed the task of spying to me... Eh? You look very solemn, is there any problem?"

"No, nothing..." Aiden waved his hand.

The more he asked, the stronger the feeling became.

It seems that Melissa has been controlling the butler and obtaining information from the Smiling Balance.

The task of spying on Joey Lawson was sent to Sophie by the butler, and the information Sophie obtained would also be reported to the butler. In other words, Melissa is likely to know everything about this matter, and it is easy for her to get involved.

Joey Lawson became his prey... Was it actually the deliberate arrangement of the goddess? Or was she just fiddling with the chess pieces for fun?

Aiden originally accepted Sophie's commission with the purpose of expanding his own intelligence sources, but the butler controlled by Melissa was Sophie Carter's superior. If this butler was really controlled by Melissa, it means that Aiden's intelligence contacts have never been able to surpass Melissa.

If Melissa had expected this, then this ridicule in a roundabout way would really be quite discouraging.

It's just like a monkey who thinks he has great powers, but after trying, he finds that he can never escape the palm of the god.

Aiden was a little discouraged for a moment, but he quickly adjusted his mentality.

It is not so easy to surpass a god who has been active in the world for hundreds of years. It is not realistic to escape the chessboard set by the ruler and preserve self-esteem and calmness.

Developing Sophie Carter into his own intelligence source, at least in terms of obtaining intelligence, he is still a little closer to Melissa.

"After this commission is completed, Susan Finger should be able to leave the organization." Aiden turned the topic back without changing his expression.

"Yes, we have to go our separate ways. But she will probably have to play me for a while. I hope she can at least remember to come and see me at the end." Sophie smiled a little lonely.

"What arrangements do you have?" Aiden asked.

"What other arrangements can I have? Of course, I will continue to play the role of a captured thief here until I can be paroled." Sophie spread her hands.

"Is this prison too harsh for a big star?"

"It's certainly not as comfortable in prison as outside, but at least... I don't have to accept other commissions from the organization for the time being, and I can be quiet for a long time." Sophie smiled.

"I hope so." Aiden nodded.
