Chapter 761: 242. Thirst for Knowledge_2
Mut Pongula is the head of the Pangula family, and the first in line for inheritance.
Dickler Fegan Pangula, while seeking forgiveness from Selena, donated 7.9 million gold coins to the Deep Sea Branch.
This 7.9 million gold coins is not the private property of Dickler Fegan.
It is the property of the Pangula family.
It should have been delivered to Mut Pongula by Dickler Fegan on a regular basis, but was misappropriated as a compensation for his own sins and given to the Deep Sea Branch.
Noland Lee told Selena to pass on the matter of Dickler Fegan’s misappropriation of family funds to Mut Pongula in hopes of using the financial system and managent structure within the Pangula family to hit back at Dickler Fegan.
Mut Pongula’s reply is related to this matter.
“Are you sure the letter is personally written by Mut Pongula?” Noland Lee picked up the envelope and examined the letter inside:
“It’s not that Mut Pongula had his housekeeper write a letter just to appease us, is it?”
“I can confirm that this is personally written by Mut Pongula.” Selena nodded:
“Furthermore, the content of the letter is as you speculated. Mut Pongula is very angry about Dickler Fegan’s embezzlent of family funds. He not only demands Dickler Fegan transfer this 7.9 million family fund ahead of ti, but also sent a trusted follower to closely monitor Dickler Fegan on the Suman Archipelago.”
Noland Lee glanced at the content of the letter, smiling slightly:
“Very good, the first step of the plan has been successful.”
“Hmm? What plan?” Selena asked in so confusion:
“The one to drive away Dickler Fegan? Or the plan to control him?”
Noland Lee simply smiled without reply, shaking his head, then saying:
“Until the plan succeeds, I dare not reveal it. You only need to do your job, Selena.”
This was the principle of “use the hidden dragon sparingly and keep it a secret”.
Noland Lee, having lived two lifetis, understands this very well.
Before the plan forms a trend and is in an unstoppable stage, all news related to the plan will be blocked off by Noland Lee, with only him knowing the details of the plan.
Selena threw him a glance:
“Well, alright. All mysterious. So what do we do next? Return a portion of the ransom, show so grace, gain the favor of Mut Pongula, or?”
Noland Lee waved his hand:
“No, we don’t do anything. You wait for my command.”
“Alright.” Selena scrutinized Noland Lee, feeling that he was laying out a ga that she didn’t understand.
“Who is the second letter from?” Noland asked, eyeing the table.
Selena pushed the letter forward:
“It’s from the ‘Blazing Queen’, the matriarch of the Farrell Clan. This is a personal letter from her.”
‘Blazing Queen’ is Sienna’s maternal grandmother.
Sienna’s full na is Sienna Nobus Pangula.
She is the only living heir of a branch of the Nobus family.
Her father, that is, Nobus Pangula, married the ‘Blazing Queen’s’ younger daughter and had Sienna.
Sienna’s mother was initially supposed to marry Dickler Fegan after he ca of age, but her father intervened at a banquet and ultimately beca Sienna’s mother.
For Fagen Pangula to secure his position from Sienna’s father, he manipulated events leading to the death of Sienna’s parents.
The ‘Blazing Queen’ is unaware of the true cause of her daughter’s death, knowing only that it was an accident, leaving her granddaughter Sienna with only the old housekeeper Keda as her companion.
Noland had previously sent a letter through Selena to the ‘Blazing Queen’, hinting that Dickler Fegan might know the truth behind her daughter’s death by ‘accident’.
Now, it was ti to see the ‘Blazing Queen’s’ reply.
Noland Lee unfurled the letter, reading its contents.
There were only two words on the letter:
“Read.”
Ha, what a succinct and explicit letter it was.
Noland Lee chuckled, thinking that this ‘Blazing Queen’ is indeed an exceptional figure.
She dispensed with all the greetings and polite words, resulting in the absence of any elaborate formalities that are typical among wizard families in this personal letter.
Noland refolded the letter and put it back in the envelope:
“The ‘Blazing Queen’s’ style is indeed as straightforward and decisive as the rumors indicate. I wonder if I’ll have the chance to witness the deanor of this queen.”
“Then you’ll have to go to the Farrell Family’s territory. You might even get to see the ‘Blazing Queen’s’ true face at their grand annual festival.”
As she spoke, Selena pushed the third letter across:
“This is a personal letter from Lape Chanal. I invited him in the Deep Sea Branch’s na to have a secret discussion about the recent events at sea and form joint strategies. He accepted my invitation and can co to my study for a secret talk at any ti.”
Noland Lee opened the envelope and read the letter:
“Very well. I will take full responsibility for helping Lape Chanal investigate the traitors within his family. You just need to back up my law enforcent when the ti cos. If there are no issues, we can et with him tonight.”
Noland glanced at Selena, who was about to speak, and cut in first:
“Don’t worry, I’ll try to leave a few alive and won’t wipe them all out.”
These words were in line with Selena’s intentions, so she switched gears and said:
“…Yes, I wanted to say that. It would be best if you could spare the life of a high-level Undertow spy. That way, the Deep Sea Branch might have a chance to extract information about the spy’s superiors.”
