Chapter 19: Three Guests

The events at the Royal Theatre in Egrim were spread all over the city due to the involvement of many nobles, and the gossip about Rod's arrest kept changing versions amid rumors. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Only on the morning of the second day of the incident at the Grand Theater, Moan got the news, and at that time, he was angry at Lucia's no-show. When the three-day deadline had expired, Lucia had not only not taken the gem back, but had disappeared without a trace. After Mo An fully revealed his bad temper to the subordinates, he sent out a dozen spies. Soon, Lucia's whereabouts are linked to the events of the Grand Theater.

Mo An, who heard the news, drank the wine in his cup in a rage: "I never thought that one day I would have to save the people I hired!" ”

"Just read it for me." On the other side of the table, Xuanyu raised the wine glass, but only glanced at the wine in the glass, but did not drink it.

"I'm afraid you'll say that," Moan put down his glass, "and you know I can't refuse your request. ”

"Thank you." Xuanyu replied indifferently.

Mo An has known Xuanyu for a long time, and this is the first time he has heard that Xuanyu has a request for him. On the one hand, he is very happy, believing that this is a sign that the two are getting closer. On the other hand, he was very upset, and the reason was that Lucia. He couldn't get used to Xuanyu's inexplicable concern for her, so he didn't say anything when he asked, or talked about him left and right. Mo An knew Xuanyu's temperament, and no matter what method he didn't want to say, he couldn't pry his mouth open, not to mention, with Xuanyu's strength, even if he poured out his family property, he wouldn't be able to find out where his secret was.

This time, Xuanyu asked Mo An to rescue Lucia, and although she was unwilling, she still agreed. At first, Mo An thought that this was not a difficult thing, the captain of the "Tower" Praetorian Guard did not look like a person who regarded money as dung, and Lucia was indeed not an accomplice of the "wolf spirit", and let go of the person who had caught the wrong one could get a considerable reward, so why not? After all, Mo An is convinced of the famous saying that "money can make ghosts grind".

However, after the two groups he sent returned with the treasure in vain, he gradually realized that things were not so simple. Now, if you want to know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the captain of the "Tower" Praetorian Guard, Mo An can only visit in person!

Alex Sandra's mansion is located behind King's Street, next to the Reino Palace, where almost all the public officials live. As a Praetorian Guard, Alex's mansion is not too big or luxurious, but there are still people who have it. It was already noon when Mr. Moan arrived, and the maid ushered him into the drawing-room, served him tea, and withdrew.

In the study, across the wall from the living room, Alex was meeting another guest. Alex's voice could be heard through the crack in the door of the hidden study. Mo An didn't mean to eavesdrop, but the master spoke too loudly, and those words entered his ears by himself.

"We agreed before, and now you say these things......"

The voice of the "......" guest was so small that Mo An couldn't hear it clearly.

"Enough! Don't make excuses, it's simply that you don't have enough strength! ”

“……”

"Come on, I don't need you to teach me how to do it, and you don't want to threaten me reads;!"

“……”

After a few words of argument, the door to the study opened. A man wearing a golden mask walked out of it, he noticed Mo An for the first time, his eyes were met, Mo An couldn't see the other party's expression, but the chill released by those eyes made him very uncomfortable. Without much communication, the masked man passed by Mo An and left the room.

Immediately afterwards, Alex Sandra walked out of the study with an angry face, and his expression was mixed with doubt, depression, and even frustration, but this was Mo An's own judgment, and he carefully observed the other party.

Seeing Mo An, Alex barely squeezed out a smile, although he is the captain of the Royal Praetorian Guard, but after all, the other party is one of the richest people in the entire Angnas Continent, and it is said that he never walks out of the Crescent Manor easily, and this time he can visit in person, which can be regarded as giving himself a lot of face.

"Hello, Mr. Mo'an, Jiu Yang."

"Where, Captain Sandra is better than seeing for a long time."

After some polite greetings, they quickly got to the point. Since Mo An had sent people to Alex's mansion twice before, Alex was very clear about Mo An's intention this time, so he got straight to the point: "I take the liberty of asking, who are you named Lucia?" ”

"Friends." Mo An didn't talk much, but he liked the other party's direct way of inquiry, saving a lot of trouble coming and going, "She and the wild wolf are not in the same group, I can guarantee it." ”

Alex looked straight at Mo An, and for a few seconds, he was digesting Mo An's statement about "friends": "Whether it's a gang or not, we will investigate, but if there is Mr. Mo An's guarantee, it will naturally not be too difficult for her, but we also checked her origin......"

Hearing this, Mo An's body leaned forward slightly.

Alex continued: "Unfortunately, her background is not clear at all. Our people can't even find her surname, just like you, Mr. Mo'an, who only know her name but not her surname. ”

Pause for two seconds. The two of them laughed in unison, but neither of them laughed because they were happy.

"So, you doubt me too?" Mo Andao, who quickly put away his smile.

"How is that possible," Alex picked up the tea on the table, "Mr. Moan has been in Agrim for so many years, and he knows the roots. This named Lucia has only been here for a few days, and she has no identification, and the bounty hunter certificate found on her body is also fake, which has to make people suspicious. ”

"I don't know when Egrem has become so strict with the identity of outsiders," Mo An said, "If you want to catch this kind of suspicious person, there are such suspicious people on the docks." ”

Alex smiled, "I don't think their magic is too high." In that case, Agrim would be in real danger. ”

Hearing this, Mo An was slightly surprised, in his impression, Lucia was just an ordinary magician, where did the explosion start? However, after these two sentences, Mo An can basically confirm that Alex has not let Lucia go. So he asked bluntly: "You know that I attach great importance to friendship, and I also know that you are a lover, Lucia will entrust this matter to you, and she will repay her after the deed, what do you think?" ”

When Mo An said "reciprocate", he found that the other party's eyes were obviously brightened, but they were immediately covered by gloomy clouds. Mo An didn't know Alex's psychological changes at this time, and Alex was also very embarrassed, on the one hand, Mr. Mo An is rich and known to the world, if he earns this money, I am afraid that he will have no worries about food and clothing in the second half of his life, which is naturally better than running errands for the royal family; But on the other hand......

While Alex was silent, the servant walked in and whispered a few words to him, and his face changed.

"Okay, Mr. Moan, Lucia's matter will be settled after the trial, and no one will be able to wronged her at that time, and I have other guests, so I won't accompany her."

Alex obviously issued an eviction order, which made Mo An very annoyed, the whole Agrim, who could not give him face, even the royal family wanted to give him three points, and he actually suffered a loss from a small Praetorian Guard captain!

Seeing Mo An brushing his sleeves away, Alex knew that he had offended the rich man and had no good fruit to eat. But he couldn't afford to offend the next guests, so he could only send Mo An away first.

Alex Sandra was depressed. Twelve hours ago, he had been beaming at the capture of a wolf, but when he woke up, things had changed. The first is the visit of the Masked Man, which completely disrupts his plans. Then Mo An was tempted by money three times and twice. But now the guest has brought a complete order.

When Moan left, he didn't see what Alex called "other guests", and he didn't know that the news brought by this guest made it more difficult to rescue Lucia.
