Chapter 382 Moriarty and the Ambitious!

Dawn, Imperial Capital.

A taxi slowly passed by, looking extremely shabby, driving along the street. The driver with a blue hat kept looking out from time to time, as if he wanted to attract customers and complete his first business of the day.

Unfortunately, perhaps because the car body was too shabby, even the paint on the outside was scraped into a mess. After driving around the street, the driver did not find any customers willing to patronize him, and could only leave in disappointment.

However, if you can see the back of the taxi, you will find that it is not as shabby as imagined. Instead, it looks very clean and even a little luxurious. A middle-aged man with thick hair and sharp eyes is staring at the driver's back.

This man has a typical federal face, but his jaw and cheeks are shaved with blue stubble. In comparison, the driver driving in front is much less shabby, with a messy beard and sunken eye sockets, looking extremely miserable.

If Adrian or Adolf saw this man, they might have some impression, because this was the famous detective in the imperial capital, Moriarty, who Luen had used as a prize to let them compete for the position of the Speaker of the Blood Clan!

But that was all in the past.

Because Luen made the decision, the real Moriarty did not beat the one pretending to be Nim, allowing Adrian to win successfully. As the winner, Adrian generously handed Moriarty and others directly to Adolf for handling.

To be honest, Moriarty had encountered countless dangers in his life, but there were only a few dangers as bizarre, absurd and deadly as this one.

He originally thought that he was dead, just like the ending he had imagined countless times, dying quietly somewhere, and then being buried in a pit by someone, and there would be no trace of this person in the world.

This result had made him wake up from nightmares countless times in the middle of the night, unable to fall asleep, and he knew that if he continued like this, such a result would be almost inevitable.

However, every time he encountered a new event, he would always throw his concerns behind his head in an instant, as if deep in his genes, there was a gene that longed for adventure, which even he could not control.

However, he did not die, or it could be said that he was living a life worse than death.

Adolf did not kill him, but the result was worse than killing him. His sign was smashed, his detective agency was banned, his novels were banned, and even his family, friends, and classmates were warned and threatened.

Adolf was venting his anger on Moriarty. Although he knew it was not his fault, people were not absolutely rational creatures after all. He knew what Moriarty cared about, so he destroyed it. This was more cruel than killing him. The so-called killing is heartbreaking, but that's it.

For Adolf, this was just a momentary vent of anger, and he soon forgot about it, but for Moriarty, his life was completely ruined. Everyone avoided him, and even his beloved woman, Joanna, was forced to leave him because of various pressures.

After all, Joanna also has parents, relatives and friends. No one can exist in isolation in this society.

Except Moriarty.

Although he is alive, in everyone's eyes, he seems to be a dead person, a zombie, or a walking corpse.

Moriarty tried to resist and even retaliate, but the deeper he investigated, the more despair he felt in his heart.

What he was fighting against was not a person, a person with great power and means, but a group of interests with great power and means. The blood clan around Adolf, any member of which could easily crush it with a finger, without any difficulty.

And the reason why he was still alive was entirely because Adolf had forgotten it.

Moriarty was a proud person. He even wrote in his book that 90% of the people in the world, in his opinion, had the same IQ as monkeys in the trees. How could they endure such humiliation?

But he had no way out. Having lived in the imperial capital for so many years, he knew the nature of the Federation. Even if he collected all the evidence of Adolf's crimes and put them on the president's desk, the president would pretend that nothing had happened.

In this world, things are never as simple as black and white, and justice may not necessarily defeat evil. Moriarty had understood this truth a long time ago.

However, he did not give up. To become a well-known detective, perseverance is indispensable. He was always looking for ways to deal with Adolf in secret, and in the process of investigation, he gradually discovered the existence of the blood clan.

Then, he was found by someone.

Of course, he was not here to kill him, otherwise he would have died long ago, but to cooperate with him.

Naturally, this collaborator who came to the door was the middle-aged man sitting behind him, named Gomez, the owner of a large wine estate in the northern part of the Federation, but in secret, he had another identity. He had just held a promotion ceremony and joined the blood clan family as a new member.

Although Gomez is already a rare big shot in the eyes of ordinary people, he is almost at the bottom of the vampire race. There are many people who are richer, more powerful, and more influential than him. If Adrian and Adolf are flowers, then he is not even qualified to be a green leaf. At best, he can only be regarded as a thorn.

But a thorn is also ambitious.

The appearance of Luen and the earth-shaking reforms for the blood race made Gomez smell the smell of opportunity, and he felt the charm of power in Luen.

Money and power are not as direct as naked power. So what if they have money and power? These blood races can even overthrow the president of the Federation when they unite, but they have to kneel in front of the master, which is worse than a favored dog!

Kneeling outside with everyone for a few hours, others were either afraid or uneasy, but Gomez seemed to understand the true nature of this world!

He wanted to get powerful power, wanted to get the favor of the master, and even more wanted to get the blood race earl promised by the master!

But he himself did not belong to the circle of the imperial capital, and he was a shrimp-level figure in both camps. To put it bluntly, no one would take him to play, let alone take all the fruits of victory, so he could only find another way.

Before this, Moriarty was the most famous detective in the imperial capital. No matter how difficult and unsolvable the case was, he could solve it easily. He also helped Gomez solve some troubles, so he knew Moriarty's ability clearly.

One wanted revenge, and the other was ambitious. The two hit it off. In order to win over Moriarty, Gomez even revealed some secrets about the vampires to him.

A common enemy can unite people, but common interests can make people sacrifice their lives.

Who in this world can resist the temptation of immortality?
