Chapter 379: The Approaching Storm
"Lord, the task you have instructed us to investigate is almost complete."
In the quiet of the night, in the dark room, the clear and hazy lilac moonlight poured through the screen window on the two looming figures.
"Really? Tell me more about it. A figure said nonchalantly.
"Target name: Frank. Xia Lan, a native of Adriatic, whose real age is unknown, once worked as a swordsman instructor at the Pablodina Academy in Chabro Province for three years, and went to the royal capital after resigning and leaving, and there is evidence that he is suspected to have a lot to do with the rebellion in the royal capital of Elania at that time......" Saying this, the reporting figure looked at his boss cautiously, and continued urgently: "Later, on the way to leave Adria for Sissinia, he accidentally rescued Pandelia, the princess of the Sissinian royal family, who had been missing for more than ten years. And secretly helped Pandelia become the current lord of Querofi, and after the deed was completed, he came to the trading city-state of Estak without saying goodbye, and when he arrived in Brito's town, he left with a tavern girl and Britto garrison captain, according to the investigation, the target brought them to Port Louis to heal the tavern's mother......"
"During the time the subject was in Port Louis, he visited Sir Hollebas, the Governor of Port, and seemed to have reached some kind of agreement with him, and a few days later there were rumors of the collapse of the abandoned warehouse in the White Sails District, and of course, the most important thing is that the target seems to have an insight into our storage, because all of our members at the bottom of Port Louis have been subjected to the ...... of the target's surveillance."
"Wait? You say our people are being watched? The figure who had been listening quietly to the report said suddenly.
"Yes, if it weren't for the Lord ordering us to investigate the target, I'm afraid we'd still be in the dark!" The reporter said solemnly.
"Keep talking!"
"Other than that. The target takes the tavern daughter to the Estak Alchemy Society to seek healing from Master Baird. A few days later, the other party secretly hid outside the villa of another master, Magnison, and waited for a whole day. There seems to be some ulterior secret, but the most strange thing for his subordinates is that such a man would have free time to hook up with a little girl in a grocery store in Port Louis, as if he were a couple in love. The reporter was puzzled: "That little girl is just an ordinary girl who has lost her parents after our investigation, although her appearance is delicate, but compared to the stunning princess Pandelia who was at the fingertips of Sissinia's target at that time, her subordinates really can't think of what attracts this ordinary girl......
"Tell me about that little girl in detail." The figure seemed to be interested in the matter.
"The little girl's name is Adelinea. Georgia. Once an abandoned orphan, she was later adopted by her adoptive parents to survive until now, but after her adoptive parents died unexpectedly, the little girl began to take care of the grocery store left by her adoptive parents alone, before the target appeared, the little girl was often harassed by the nearby ruffians, and the target was to meet the person who had solved the harassment of the little girl and officially met the other party. The debriefing figure elaborated: "Before the end of tonight's investigation, we found that the little girl seemed to be worried that she was not capable of leaving with her target in the future to take risks......
"Conclusion!" The figure nodded secretly.
"The target is strong, has terrifying potential, and has a tough and ruthless personality. He was always elusive, especially since he had several unclear conflicts with the organization. It can be determined that the target is likely to become the future enemy of the organization, and the subordinates unanimously judge that the target must be eliminated before it grows! The reporter said cautiously.
"Of course, it's just that now is not the time." The standing figure said lightly.
"Lord, there is another matter related to Herbert, but my subordinates don't know whether to say it or not......" Suddenly, the reporter figure hesitated.
"Say!"
"The subject met Herbert's fiancΓ©e when he was in the capital of Adria, and the two traveled to Sisinia together, only to separate when they were in Querofe, and now the two have broken off their relationship, but ......," the reporter hesitated.
The figure was silent for a moment and said, "This matter needs to be ignored for the time being. β
"Yes!" The debriefing figure seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Now you continue to monitor the movements of the target of the investigation, and besides, doesn't the little girl he likes want power? Hehe......" The figure smiled strangely and said, "Let Ophelia secretly contact the little girl and teach her powers, no matter what means are used!" As long as she doesn't expose her surroundings at will, how she decides! β
"Ophelia......" The reporter figure shuddered and immediately said, "Do your will!" β
Perhaps Xia Lan never thought that every move he made in Port Louis had already made the "Subversive Fangs" completely insightful, and he was not even aware that someone was following and monitoring them these days, which shows the potential horror side of the "Subversive Fangs".
β¦β¦
At the same time, the Governor's House of Port Louis.
Sir Holebas took a stack of materials in his hand and handed it to Pilar beside him, smiling, "Look at this book about Derrank. Xia Lan's information, tsk, I didn't expect us to meet an amazing guy! β
Pilar took the information and carefully skimmed through it, as time passed, Pilar's expression became more and more solemn, and even a trace of cold sweat was left on his round fat face.
"Huh...... Hehe...... He's a great fellow, as you say, Sir Sir. β
Pilar wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and smiled a little far-fetched.
secretly assisted the Princess of Sisinia to capture Quirofi, and shook the top peak powerhouse head-on, and even the deaths of several top peak powerhouses in the "Radiance Sanctuary" and the "Ancestors' Meeting" were related to the other party, thinking that he was facing such a murderous guy at that time, and now in retrospect, Pilar was a little weak.
"Pilar, you say, are we capable of dealing with such a person?" Sir Hollebas suddenly looked cold.
"Sir, you ......," Pilar said nervously.
"Feel free to say what you think." Sir Holebas said lightly.
"Sir Sir, if you really want to deal with him, I am afraid that you will have to pay a great price, and the slightest mistake may ...... your life," Pilar did not dare to continue.
"Pilar, I remember that you seem to have had a relationship with Lord Hogley, who lives in seclusion in the Brandel region." Holebas said intentionally or unintentionally.
"Yes, Lord Hogley used to be the brother of a friend when he was in the mercenary group, and it was because his subordinates saved this friend's life that he had a friendship with Lord Hogley." Pilar hung his head a little uneasy.
"So, can you invite Lord Hogley to Port Louis for a while?" Hollebas stared at Pilardau.
"Yes, yes, but ......," Pilar said.
"But what?" Holebas Road.
"I know how jealous you are of Lord Charan, but the chances of getting Mr. Hogley to help us are slim......" Pilar said with a deep breath.
"You don't have to worry about that." Holebas said calmly: "As long as there is a suitable price for benefits, no one in this world can escape the temptation!" β
"Your Excellen......cy," Pilar sighed, "Do you really plan to be your enemy of Lord Xia Lan?" β
"I just want to know what the relics he is looking for at all his lengths are." Holebas said lightly.
Pilar was silent.
"Then the subordinate will leave for Brandel on the same day."
"Thank you for your hard work."

When Xia Lan was thinking about the Magnison surveillance information from the Lin Ying mercenary group, he didn't know that a storm against him was quietly approaching.
Towards the end of the evening, Willett, the only female member of the Wood Eagle Mercenary Regiment, came to meet Xia Lan at the Gold Coast Hotel, because she accidentally discovered that the groom was preparing for the carriage to travel while monitoring the movements of Magnison's villa, so she judged that someone in the villa would probably go out tonight, if not Magnison, or the lady of the villa.
All in all, the information was sent, and the decision on whether to act or not was in Xia Lan's hands.
He didn't hesitate for long, but after making sure of the terrain and the map of the garrison in Magnison's villa, he left the hotel with Willlet.
After finding another member of the Wood Eagle Mercenary Regiment who had been watching and observing in Willett's place, Xia Lan learned that Magnison had gone out in a carriage shortly before their arrival, and due to the lack of manpower, this member did not dare to track him without permission, so no one knew Magnison's whereabouts.
"Is it too late to track it now?" Xia Lan asked the two members of the Lin Ying Mercenary Regiment with a calm face.
"Your Excellency Xia Lan, I'm sorry, but we can't guarantee the results of the tracking." Garret, the member of the group who stayed behind, drooped his head and said.
"I heard Trevor say that you are the best at tracking in the mercenary group, can't you do it?" Charland Road.
"It's only a matter of time before I'm worried." Garrett Road.
"I need to know where Magnison is anyway, no matter the time! If you get the tracking results, you must rush back and report to me as soon as possible! Xia Lan said coldly.
"Yes!"
As the words fell, Garrett immediately left the rented room for surveillance.
Since the incident of the Hurricane Mercenary Group, the Lin Ying Mercenary Group has guessed that this matter is likely to be Xia Lan's handiwork, so each of them is in awe when facing Xia Lan, or they are afraid and afraid, after all, serving under such a strong man will inevitably have a state of mind that is uneasy and afraid of making mistakes.
Charan stood in front of the window and looked at the magnificent and gorgeous villa belonging to Magnison, compared to the surrounding buildings, the huge lawn courtyard outside the villa alone is enough to show the strong position of the owner in Port Louis, and not everyone can occupy such a large land in a place like Wisteria.
But in Xia Lan's eyes, if he wanted to sneak into the villa, how to pass through the lawn courtyard with a wide view without being noticed by the guards was his primary concern. (To be continued......)
