After all, Lukas is a local and has cooperation with the authorities, which gives him a natural advantage in gathering information.
Besides, Su Lu didn’t deceive him.
To deal with Ranny, he indeed needs to delve deep into the Silent Forest and even enter the old mansion.
Otherwise, once Ranny completely loses control and becos a savage evil spirit who only knows to kill, Lukas sure won’t get away unhard! At this mont, Su Lu had gained a genuine interest in that old mansion.
“How is this possible!”
Upon hearing Su Lu’s words, Malik was sowhat incredulous.
In his view, managing to investigate to such an extent without even leaving the house, could Su Lu be so kind of specialized divination profession?
With this thought, the look he gave Su Lu could not help but hold a hint of caution.
Never underestimate professions like astrologers, they can even touch the realm of fate, causing misfortune to fall upon their enemies!
Lukas moved quickly.
Or rather, when his life was involved, he had no choice but to put in his best efforts.
This local snake used his connections and quickly got Su Lu the information he was looking for.
“The Silent Forest and the property rights to the old mansion belong to… huh? What’s going on?”
Su Lu took the envelope, opened it, and started reading hastily. Suddenly, his eyes widened.
The place where the owner’s nas should be was harshly blacked out with a black marker pen!
“I’m sorry… This is the limit of what my master could pull off, it is top secret.” Old Mad bowed deeply to apologize.
Lukas acted swiftly and might have been using so extraordinary ans to investigate Ranny’s tomb. After confirming so things, he imdiately started to inquire about the matters of the Silent Forest.
Unfortunately, it seems that he hit a wall in this regard?
Su Lu knows about the Federation’s confidentiality chanism. It has a strange rule that anyone with a certain level of status can request the governnt to disclose certain information.
However, there can be a clash with the internal confidentiality rules of certain departnts, such as the Eleventh Bureau.
At this ti, the personnel responsible for audit would cross out information they felt should be kept secret.
Once, when Congress questioned the Eleventh Bureau about a certain secret matter, the bureau responded by handing them a huge box filled with docunts, every sheet of which was filled with black lines and not a single word could be seen.
Now, Su Lu or rather Mr. Lukas, was clearly having that sa experience.
“I’m truly sorry… But this is all we can do.” Old steward Mad bowed as he spoke.
“Understood!”
Su Lu waved a hand to tell the old steward to retreat and mused while scratching his chin: “The hand of the local Eleventh Bureau, do they have interest in the Silent Forest due to the transcendent? No… with Lukas’ personal network and influence, he can totally get in contact with the transcendent circle… Could it be that there’s a deeper, and even more dangerous reason?”
He beca more and more interested in that restricted area.
The dinner party.
Lukas sat at the head of the long table, staring at the burning silver candelabra: “Detective Sean, my apologies…”
He did not expect to receive such a treatnt from the Federal Police Departnt.
He originally thought that he was a pretty significant figure locally, but in reality, he hadn’t even touched the true core.
It’s a joke for an upstart to want to imdiately force his way into the real upper circles.
Su Lu was seriously cutting the lamb chop in front of him, and upon hearing Lukas he lifted his head and said: “No problem… I’m good at such tasks of searching for information. ”
Actually, that was a lie. He is not a real detective after all.
But in this matter, Lukas must be more anxious than he is.
As expected, just as he has finished speaking, Lukas said: “After all, I still have so friends. They told so things… The Silent Forest restricted area is clearly involved with the transcendents, but the terror there… is even more so. This is related to a certain transcendent family. It is said that the family’s na is taboo, possibly bringing misfortune, so it can’t be spread around!” “The family na is a curse?
Su Lu suddenly thought of that portrait, and the other party’s last na Angus Gold!
‘The transcendent family nad Angus Gold? The White Tower information didn’t ntion this… No, I should say that I haven’t read any book concerning this area.’
“A family whose na is taboo?”
At this point, Malik exclaid: “These are few and far between, even in the transcendent world, and every mber is terrifying! If that old mansion is one of their villas, then… I need a raise!”
Su Lu’s eyelids twitched, as he felt the other party’s last sentence was his real goal.
“Well… of course, if I ask you to take on risks that go beyond our agreent, I naturally need to compensate you!”
Lukas nodded his head, and imdiately, Mad ca over with a silver tray. On the tray were a few money bags, filled to the brim with Gold Dragon Coins.
“An additional 100 gold dragons to hire you into the Silent Forest to eliminate that evil spirit!”
Lukas’ voice followed: “How does that sound?”
He also consulted many people, even transcendent ones like the Bishop of the Goddess Church, and learned about certain things.
If he lets that evil spirit develop further, the consequences would definitely be sothing he can’t bear.
There are examples of such unlucky ones in the history. After killing the perpetrator, the enraged evil spirit not only didn’t stop, but exterminated the other party’s entire bloodline!
Lukas certainly didn’t dare to gamble.
Even though he lost a daughter, he still has many other daughters and sons.
“Thank you for your generosity!” Malik was the first to agree.
“If we all leave… Sir, your safety?”
The Gerei Brothers glanced at each other, feeling sowhat tempted.
“No problem, I’ll go live in the Goddess Church in the city for a few days when the ti cos. I’ve already talked it over with the bishop there…”
Lukas sighed and then turned to look at Su Lu.
“As you wish!”
Su Lu wanted nothing more than to have a team exploration.
“That’s good, I hope you all can set out tomorrow to investigate this entire matter.”
After finishing speaking, Lukas wiped his mouth with his napkin and then, helped by the steward, ascended the stairs.
The atmosphere in the dining room suddenly beca eerie.
“100 gold dragons!”
Malik whistled, clutching the share that belonged to him: “Not bad at all! But… we gotta see if you guys live long enough to enjoy it.”
His face turned serious, as though his previous lighthearted tone was just a joke: “Your life or death has nothing to do with , but let state this in advance, if you hamper during the mission, don’t bla for taking action!”
Sizzle!
With his words, the candles on the silver candelabra suddenly exploded into fierce flas.
‘This Malik…
Su Lu’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“Those are the exact words we wanted to say…”
The Gerei Brothers exchanged glances and left with their reward.
“Alright then…’
Su Lu looked at the empty dining room with a wry smile: “Started out with a wild team, and now it seems we’re destined to be wiped out..”
