The warden who guards the witches.

Borrowing a Name

　"...... Roughly, that's the plan, what do you think?"

　　Sitting in his office, Aiden called for Veronica and told her roughly about the plan he got from Melifillia.

　　The hints that Melifillia had given him were indeed a strange hand, and at the same time, it was also a plan that coincidentally could only be accomplished by virtue of the cards that Aiden was holding.

　　But precisely because it was a strange trick, there was a great deal of uncertainty in this plan.

　　That's why he purposely asked Veronica for advice, after all, as a mounted police officer, Veronica was the most experienced person he knew in fighting with gangs.

　　Although Melifillia always looked like she was very much in love with him, Aiden actually didn't have much trust in Melifillia.

　　He was Melifillia's caretaker, Melifillia could help him on a whim but might also shade him on a whim at any time, and relying too much on her mind and not giving much thought to the ploys she provided could be a real hazard.

　　Veronica's eyes widened, seemingly shocked by the audacity of the plan.

　　She sank her heart into thought for a moment, then cautiously gave her reply, ''It might be feasible, among the gangs in the old city, the Skull and Bones g**g is now one of the main targets of the mounted police as well. I know some intelligence, Carlo Polpo is now in a very high position in the Skull g**g, and is also one of the cadres with the highest calling to succeed the next leader. The mounted police team sometimes uses undercover agents and informants to provoke internal struggles in the g**g to dismantle the g**g ...... It's just that, wouldn't this be a little too dangerous for you?"

　　"Fighting is not a problem, I can have Daley and the girls find a way to back me up." Aiden calmly replied, "With their power, even if they were to fight against an entire g**g, it wouldn't be a problem, at least my personal safety can still be guaranteed for the time being."

　　"Then I can provide support as well, if needed, you can bring me along as well, I can protect you from the shadows!" Veronica pressed her chest to positively express her loyalty.

　　"There's no point in bringing you along, is there, the gangsters there will definitely recognise you. If you're found out, the whole plan will go down the drain." Aiden warned.

　　He could tell that Veronica had a strong sense of justice and was very motivated to give his plan a boost, but Veronica wasn't the right person to be involved in the execution of this plan.

　　He had researched Veronica's career history, this girl had been the pillar of force of the mounted police force, had long made a name for herself in several forceful sieges against the gangs, and in the underworld was already a "celebrity" who had been rewarded by several gangs with money.

　　"That's right... "Veronica responded, lowering her eyes a bit in disappointment.

　　Seeing her like this, Aiden hurriedly added: "But I still hope that I can make use of your connections to help me gather some more information. If possible, it would be best to get help from the Mounted Police side, this plan will be beneficial to them as well."

　　"Just leave it to me!" Veronica immediately perked up and saluted with both eyes glowing.

　　Using Veronica's connections to build bridges with the Mounted Police, if she could get assistance from there, it would be beneficial to carry out this plan.

　　Then the next step was to lay out the most crucial hand.

　　"Then you go now and bring Meru Kino to the meeting room, we're going to have a good talk with her." Aiden gave the instructions.

　　And so, a quarter of an hour later.

　　"The gangs of the old city?...... If I put it in the past, I do still have some influence." Merukino said thoughtfully.

　　She was sitting at the head of the iron table, and on the other side were Aiden, who had summoned her here, and Veronica, who was standing with her hands behind her back.

　　"Before? You mean that means it doesn't quite work anymore?" Aiden tapped his fingers on the iron table.

　　"It's not as good as it used to be, after all ......," Merukino spread her shackled hands with a helpless face, "My best daughter fell into your hands well."

　　When Ivantha was still active as the number one ranked assassin in the underground world, Meiliuji Nu had considerable influence over many forces in the underworld, including several big gangs in the old city.

　　According to the statistics of the Heresy Judgement Bureau, more than half of the assassinations that Merukino had taken over came from the underground struggles of the gangs in the old city. As long as she was paid enough, she could erase a g**g leader or cadre from this world at any time. Although she didn't have much territory, the gangs were in awe of the legendary "Ant Queen".

　　However, after Ivantha fell into the net, and the "Filthy Blood Reaper" completely disappeared from the underground world, Merukino's influence was also in tatters. There were even gangs that started to offer rewards to find out the true body of Merukino, wanting to get rid of her and steal her business and accumulated assets.

　　If it wasn't for that, Meru Jinnu wouldn't have chosen to take the risk of running to the Rosebud Iron Prison to rob it.

　　"Well, indeed, that's what the words say ......," Aiden nodded approvingly before his words changed, "But on the other hand, if the 'Filthy Blood Reaper ' name is re-established, your influence in the yakuza will also be restored along with it, is that what you mean?"

　　"Oh?" Meiliujinu's eyes became sharp all of a sudden, "What do you ...... mean by this?"

　　"I want a piece of your 'credentials'." Aiden bluntly stated his purpose.

　　He knew the information of Merukino, and when the "Sons and Daughters of Merukino" accepted the business of killing people, they would prove their identities to their clients through some kind of special credentials.

　　Of course, in that world, no one dared to impersonate Merukino's name, and those who did were basically killed by Ivantha, who was still the "God of Filthy Blood Death" at that time.

　　"Are you trying to steal my name for something?" Merukino asked with interest.

　　"It doesn't matter much, right? Anyway, you're already in prison, so even if you do something that counts against you, it won't affect you in any way. Everyone on the outside knows that the 'Filthy Blood Reaper' has been out of sight for a long time, but they don't know yet that you've fallen off the grid as well, and your name still works on the outside." Aiden looked straight into her eyes, "Don't worry, this is just a deal, not coercion, if you agree, I can give you corresponding benefits, if you don't agree, I won't force you."

　　"Aiyaa, look at how you say this, I am relying on your mercy as Warden to pick up a life and survive. How could I refuse your request?" Meilu Ji Nu smiled roundly, "My name, you can take it as you please, it's just that I don't know, how are you going to make that child's name known again?"

　　"That, you don't have to worry about." Aiden returned with an expressionless face.
