In the next few days, a secret investigation was carried out by all parties.
As Leopold shared, nothing in this world could be hidden from the team when they worked together.
On the third day of the investigation, the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor called Nathan's office.
Sage reported to him that the secret investigation had yielded results.
He confirmed that someone was indeed orchestrating the Shadow Scientists to help the vampires improve their blood virus.
Besides, all the evidence pointed to a prominent family in Ariarica—the Charleigh family.
The Charleigh family was a world-famous tycoon whose wealth could trump that of an entire nation.
After listening to Sage's report, Nathan was rather dubious about it and asked, “Is this news accurate?”
Sage replied, “It's a hundred percent accurate! Mr. Cross, do you remember Max? His full name is Max Charleigh. We suspect that he was the one who asked his family to help the vampires improve the blood virus.”
Max is from the Charleigh family! If that's the case, we've found the motive for the Charleighs to help the vampires improve the blood virus.
“Very well. Thank you for your hard work. You can now leave the rest of the matter to the alliance to resolve,” said Nathan.
“Understood!”
As soon as Nathan ended the call, Leopold and Eugene IV knocked on the door before entering.
It turned out that they both had also discovered that it was the Charleigh family who had discreetly built a research institute in Moranta and hired a large group of unscrupulous scientists just to help the vampires improve the blood virus.
After listening to Leopold's and Eugene IV's words, Nathan uttered, “What you've found out is no different from the news I've just received. It seems that the Charleigh family is working for the vampires. We have to immediately send some people to Moranta, destroy their research institute, and arrest all those who are there. We must also get back all the data and information about the blood virus from the institute.”
“Understood!” responded Leopold.
Judging from the selfish behavior typically demonstrated by the people from Ariarica, they would never collaborate with other countries to develop a serum, let alone publicly share the information and data of the blood virus obtained from the Shadow Research Institute.
If they were to destroy the place, they would surely keep the information to themselves or even produce the serum to make money.
Nathan uttered in a deep voice, “We've already talked about identifying the human traitors, and the alliance has also agreed to authorize the dispatch of a task force to arrest them. That fellow Wolfric has promised to cooperate but went back on his words. We can't hesitate anymore. We have to depart now, and hopefully we can catch up with him.”
“Wolfric is personally leading his team. If we send others, I'm afraid they aren't his match and may not be able to fight him. Why don't you and I lead the team and go to Moranta?” Leopold suggested without thinking twice.
Nathan agreed at once, “Okay!”
After that, he turned and gazed at Eugene IV.
“Pope Eugene, the alliance can't be left without a head. We'll leave it in your good hands when we're away.”
Eugene IV smiled and replied, “No problem. I'll take care of it in your absence. But you should be careful when you travel to Moranta. The Charleigh family is filthy rich. Many of the mafia gangs in Adrune are their lapdogs. They even have a multitude of mercenaries working for them, ever-ready to sacrifice their lives for the family. I suspect the Shadow Research Institute must be heavily guarded. When the time comes, Wolfric might fight you for the information stored at the institute. You must be extra careful.”
