The civilians in Fort Wiscarri were forbidden from traveling, and every key passage of the castle was guarded by fully armed Byzantine soldiers. There was no one on the streets that were supposed to be quite lively during the day.

The subordinates of Anastasius led another army to search for suspicious people, and for a moment, the city was filled with wind and rain. Even the nobles could only surrender in front of these soldiers, and no one dared to resist. Since the Latins swept across the entire Peloponnese, the nobles of Molia were like dogs of a family, and no one dared to offend the Grand Duke of Anastasius.

But no one expected that the respected old man would do such a thing. Every nobleman was deeply shocked by the rude treatment of soldiers. Such things had never happened in the empire for hundreds of years.

Also shocked were the top nobles of Molia. Although they were not treated like that, they were ruthlessly rejected by Grand Duke Anastasius when they wanted to stop this absurd martial law throughout the city.

"Grand Lord, why do you do this?" The great nobleman who went to the monastery personally couldn't help but question as soon as he met. Although the Anastasius in front of him had the title of autocratic duke, he did not have the power to let the rude mud-legged soldiers search the mansion of a dignified nobleman. This is a great insult to the nobleman. Even if the imperial emperor wanted to do this, he had to consider the impact of such a thing.

But facing these dissatisfied nobles in front of him, Anastasius seemed surprisingly calm. "You should have known about the matter of Water Gate!" the old man suddenly asked in a wheelchair.

Why did the nobles suddenly mention this matter? They felt inexplicably that such a big thing happened in Water Gate. Of course they knew. But just leave this kind of small thing to the people below to deal with. Why is the grand duke in front of them very concerned about such things?

At this time, Leosgros among the nobles stood up and said in a humble manner: "We are investigating the matter of Water Gate. Maybe it is the thief or other reasons. I believe that the investigation will be revealed soon. It is normal for this kind of thing to happen in the chaos of the current situation." His answer was very appropriate, and the other nobles also nodded one after another. Although the guards of Water Gate were killed, the nobles have devoted their energy to other things these days, so they did not take the matter of killing a few people to heart. After all, it is not uncommon for smugglers to take risks in the chaotic situation, and it is even impossible to kill and fight with hatred.

But Anastasius snorted coldly, revealing a cold face, without the kindness of the past, which made all the nobles feel a little sniffed. They all forgot that although the old man in front of him lived in seclusion for many years, he was an old noble who had experienced several emperors. He was the real existence who once stood at the top of power. Although he usually looked amiable, when Anastasius revealed his original face at the real moment, it was like a peerless sword unsheathed and cold light forced people.

"Silly, haven't you noticed that the messenger of Nicaea had left without anyone knowing it? The matter of Watermen was the man's work." The old man looked at the nobles with cold eyes, but he also helplessly admitted in his heart that Justinian had once commented that these nobles of Molia were indeed useless, and Anastasius couldn't help but scold them for their stupidity.

And as soon as these words came out, the seat was filled with an uproar.

"George Border? I haven't seen him in the past two days."

"I remember he was sick at home?"

When the nobles heard the news, they were shocked and suspicious. They did not notice this at all. They had no good feelings for the George Frontier Boy, who occasionally did not see that person for a day and were eager to see the abnormality so naturally. At this time, they were reminded by Grand Duke Anastasius that they realized that the annoying George Frontier Boy did not appear.

"But how do you know?" a nobleman frowned slightly, "and why did Count George kill the guards of Watergate?" Although they had a bad relationship with George's border, they would not have done such a horrifying thing. After all, doing that would not mean that the two sides broke up openly between Nicaia and Molia.

And at this moment, a young voice suddenly rang in the realm of the Taoist practice.

"Oh, is that? So after I arrive, do you still want to have Honesia's intention to continue negotiations?"

A young man walked out from behind Anastasius was either someone else or Justinian, and there was a slight sarcastic smile on his face.

"Why are you here?" The surprised nobles obviously did not expect Justinian to be at Grand Duke Anastasius's place.

The old man sitting in a wheelchair suddenly raised his hand and signaled: "I asked Justinian to come here. Don't be surprised. I think what Justinian said just now is not wrong. In fact, you have rejected the invitation from the Rascalis family and hope to cooperate with Epirus to regain your territory!"

Seeing this scene, the nobles looked at each other. They did think so. After all, interests are paramount. They can only become puppets in the end, so it would be better to press the treasure on Justinian. Leosgros frowned. He never expected that Justinian and he were chatting and laughing in his mansion before, but now he was standing in front of him. He finally realized that he underestimated Justinian too much. What this kid did before was just a false condemnation to deceive himself. Could it be that this kid's original purpose was Anastasius? Duke Leo couldn't help but guess, but now he had already made the journey and could only swallow this mute.

"But what does that have to do with what happened in Water Gate?" Although they were shocked by what Justinian said, they still couldn't understand why George Border Bell did this. Since the negotiations broke down, they would not obstruct them from leaving openly!

"Because he wants God to leave Fort Wiscarri without knowing it. Since you have rejected Nicea's invitation, it will no longer be useful to Nicea, and it has even become a threat. In this case, if I were Lascarris, I would choose to erase you from this world with the most secure means." Before Anastasius could speak, Justinian spoke.
