Chapter 148: Employment (Added 2900, asking for monthly tickets)


    Trantor: 549690339


    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 Rannypletely loses control and bes a savage evil spirit who only knows to kill, Lukas sure won’t get away unharmed! At this moment, Su Lu had gained a genuine interest in that old mansion.


    “How is this possible!”


    Upon hearing Su Lu’s words, Malik was somewhat incredulous.


    In his view, managing to investigate to such an extent without even leaving the house, could Su Lu be some 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 ce where the owner’s names should be was harshly cked out with a ck 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 some extraordinary means to investigate Ranny’s tomb. After confirming some things, he immediately 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 mechanism. It has a strange rule that anyone with a certain level of status can request the government to disclose certain information.


    However, there can be a sh with the internal confidentiality rules of certain departments, such as the Eleventh Bureau.


    At this time, 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 documents, every sheet of which was filled with ck lines and not a single word could be seen.


    Now, Su Lu or rather Mr. Lukas, was clearly having that same 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’ personalwork 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 became 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 candbra: “Detective Sean, my apologies…”


    He did not expect to receive such a treatment from the Federal Police Department.


    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 immediately force his way into the real upper circles.


    Su Lu was seriously cutting themb 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 some friends. They told me some things… The Silent Forest restricted area is clearly involved with the transcendents, but the terror there… is even more so. This is rted to a certain transcendent family. It is said that the family’s name is taboo, possibly bringing misfortune, so it can’t be spread around!” “The family name is a curse?


    Su Lu suddenly thought of that portrait, and the other party’sst name Angus Gold!


    ‘The transcendent family named Angus Gold? The White Tower information didn’t mention this… No, I should say that I haven’t read any book concerning this area.’


    “A family whose name is taboo?”


    At this point, Malik eximed: “These are few and far between, even in the transcendent world, and every member is terrifying! If that old mansion is one of their vis, then… I need a raise!”


    Su Lu’s eyelids twitched, as he felt the other party’sst sentence was his real goal.


    “Well… of course, if I ask you to take on risks that go beyond our agreement, I naturally need topensate you!”


    Lukas nodded his head, and immediately, Mad came 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 something 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 nced at each other, feeling somewhat tempted.


    “No problem, I’ll go live in the Goddess Church in the city for a few days when the timees. 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 became 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 me, but let me state this in advance, if you hamper me during the mission, don’t me me for taking action!”


    Sizzle!


    With his words, the candles on the silver candbra suddenly exploded into fierce mes.


    ‘This Malik…


    Su Lu’s eyes narrowed slightly.


    “Those are the exact words we wanted to say…”


    The Gerei Brothers exchanged nces 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..”
