Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2607: 1436: Listening and Debating

Observing the tension escalate between the two factions, Leo Ray maintained a stoic silence, watching the scene unfold with a watchful eye.
Just as old Susan had pointed out, Leo Ray had also detected a discrepancy regarding the Desert Alliance from the very start: their vice leader was nowhere to be found.
According to the intelligence gathered and shared by Administrator K, the vice leader of the Desert Alliance hails from the Moon Demon Wolf Clan.
This particular lineage possesses the combined traits of the Snow Wolf Clan and the Moon Wolf Tribe. They are capable of shifting between human and lupine forms at will and can draw power from moonlight without losing their sanity to bloodlust.
“Regardless of their form, members of the Moon Demon Wolf Clan are known for their towering, robust physiques, making them stand out in any crowd. I noticed immediately that a high-ranking figure from the Desert Alliance was missing.”
“Furthermore, reports suggest this vice leader is a frequent patron of the Shadow Market. He is said to attend every event hosted by Administrator K, even traveling across vast distances during periods of intense conflict.”
“Given that the Desert Alliance is not currently engaged in any active warfare, the vice leader's absence is highly suspicious, lending weight to old Susan’s theory.”
Leo Ray pondered these thoughts while continuing to observe the heated debate between the two sides.
“Well then, why don't you explain why your loud-mouthed vice leader didn't show his face this time?”
Old Susan stood with her arms crossed, her narrowed, aged eyes locked onto Sina’s pale face, searching for the slightest tremor or sign of deception.
At this moment, the powerhouses of both the Rainforest Fortress Alliance and the Desert Alliance understood one thing clearly: based on the Human Emperor's tone, he would not stop until the culprit was brought to justice.
Should the Human Emperor wage war against the true mastermind, the party that remained uninvolved would not only receive a Tier 6 Divine Weapon but also profit from the chaos, emerging as the ultimate winner.
Consequently, the experts from both sides were desperately trying to expose flaws in their rivals' stories to help identify the true perpetrator.
Leo Ray had anticipated this reaction, which is why he had brought both parties together to lay out his evidence and his firm position.
“This is an internal affair of the Desert Alliance. How dare an old crone like you stick your nose into our business?”
Sina’s eyes turned icy, and her serpent-like hair began to writhe as if caught in an invisible gale, signaling her mounting fury.
“Heh, Desert Leader, we are merely discussing the facts. Resorting to personal insults seems a bit beneath you, doesn't it?”
Loris let out a mocking sneer, his lion-like features twisted in a teasing grin. “Is your anger perhaps a shield for a guilty conscience?”
“The identity of the mastermind remains unproven, Rainforest Leader. If your hands are truly clean, then why have you been covertly moving your military?”
Regaining her composure, Sina spoke with a steady, cold voice. “I have received reliable reports. Immediately after being invited here, you secretly stationed thirty of your most elite Tier 4 Legions near Chirping Valley. What is your goal?”
“Surely attending a Secret Realm Market doesn't require such a massive mobilization of force?”
Sina raised her voice, pressing the attack: “Is it not because you wanted to hide from His Majesty’s gaze, proving that you are the true architects of the Forest-side Fortress incident and are preparing for the fallout?”
“That…”
Loris found himself momentarily at a loss for words. However, Thomas quickly stepped in to address Leo Ray. “Your Majesty, we confess that we have massed troops nearby, but it was done purely as a defensive measure, nothing more.”
“On the contrary, the Desert Leader refuses to explain the location of their vice leader and instead tries to shift the blame onto us. This deflection is a clear sign of guilt.”
Thomas continued calmly, “I beg Your Majesty to see through this deception so the real mastermind does not escape!”
“Your Majesty, there is indeed a reason for our vice leader’s absence, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the attack on your forces. This is a matter of extreme sensitivity that we cannot publicize. We ask for Your Majesty’s patience and understanding.”
Sina bowed her head toward Leo Ray, adding, “Meanwhile, the Rainforest Fortress Alliance’s secret troop movements are a blatant sign of a conspiracy. Your Majesty must remain vigilant; the Desert Alliance is fully prepared to help you find the true culprit!”
“Help His Majesty find the culprit? It sounds more like the thief is the one shouting 'stop thief' to hide their own tracks!”
Across the table, Loris laughed coldly. “Using such underhanded tactics to sow discord between the Rainforest Fortress Alliance and His Majesty is exactly the kind of cunning behavior we expect from you.”
Loris then turned to Leo Ray with a firm nod. “Your Majesty, the truth is obvious. The Rainforest Fortress Alliance is ready to join forces with you to wipe out this treacherous lot once and for all!”
“Your Majesty, do not listen to the Rainforest Fortress Alliance! They hide their deceitful nature behind a mask of nobility!”
The Masked Man finally spoke up, unable to remain silent. “Their wolfish ambitions are laid bare by the secret army they have gathered!”
