Lucian’s explanation made Charlie feel even more puzzled about Vera’s identity.
He even had some regrets.
He regretted letting Vera and her grandfather go.
Although in his opinion, he had already used psychological hints on them, so Vera and her grandfather must not have hidden anything from him. However, he had been short of time at the time and had not had enough time and opportunity to ask more questions.
Still, it was too late for regrets now, and he could only ask for as much valuable content as possible from Lucian.
So, Charlie looked at Lucian and continued to interrogate him. “Do you know why the British Lord wanted to capture her? Is it for her as a person or for something she has on her?”
Lucian shook his head. “I’m not sure about this matter, and even my superiors in Turkey are not sure. We only knew that the mission could be assigned to the Right Military Governor Office, so it was a heavenly opportunity. If the mission had been successful, the British Lord would have given us a heavy reward, but unfortunately, it failed in the end.”
Charlie knew that Lucian could not be lying, so he asked him, “Do you know where the headquarters of the entire Qing Elimination Society is?”
“I don’t know.” Lucian shook his head and said, “I have never been to the headquarters at all. I’ve only been to Hubbert Battalion, but I’m not sure where Hubbert Battalion is.”
